Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Nature of Operations

Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (either individually or together with its consolidated subsidiaries, as the context requires, the “Company” or “Magnolia”) is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the acquisition, development, exploration, and production of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquid (“NGL”) reserves. The Company’s oil and natural gas properties are located primarily in the Karnes and Giddings areas in South Texas where the Company primarily targets the Eagle Ford Shale and Austin Chalk formations. Magnolia’s objective is to generate stock market value over the long term through steady organic production growth, high full cycle operating margins, an efficient capital program with short economic paybacks, significant free cash flow after capital expenditures, and effective reinvestment of free cash flow.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in an Annual Report on Form 10-K have been omitted. The consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”). Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, all normal, recurring adjustments and accruals considered necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s interim financial results have been included. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of expected results for the full year.

Certain reclassifications of prior period financial statements have been made to conform to current reporting practices. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. The Company’s interests in oil and natural gas exploration and production ventures and partnerships are proportionately consolidated. The Company reflects a noncontrolling interest representing the interest owned by the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders through their ownership of Magnolia LLC Units in the consolidated financial statements. The noncontrolling interest is presented as a component of equity. See Note 10—Stockholders’ Equity for further discussion of the noncontrolling interest.

Segment Information

The Company operates in one reportable segment engaged in the acquisition, development, exploration, and production of oil and natural gas properties (“Operating segment”). Magnolia’s operations are conducted predominantly in one geographic area of the United States. The Operating segment sells oil, natural gas, and NGLs which are disaggregated on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The profit or loss metric used to evaluate segment performance is net income reported on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as Total Assets. Significant segment expenses are the same as those in the consolidated statements of operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of its consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” requiring disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

5

3. Revenue Recognition

Magnolia’s revenues include the sale of crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs. The Company has concluded that disaggregating revenue by product type appropriately depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors and has reflected this disaggregation of revenue on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. The Company’s receivables consist mainly of trade receivables from commodity sales and joint interest billings due from owners on properties the Company operates. Receivables from contracts with customers totaled $160.8 million as of March 31, 2026 and $116.5 million as of December 31, 2025. For further detail regarding the Company’s revenue recognition policies, please refer to Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K.

4. Acquisitions

2026 Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company completed various bolt-on property acquisitions of certain oil and natural gas assets totaling $155.0 million in cash.

2025 Acquisitions

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company completed various bolt-on property acquisitions of certain oil and natural gas assets totaling $24.1 million in cash.

The Company accounted for the 2026 and 2025 acquisitions as asset acquisitions.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are carried at fair value and measured either on a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The Company’s fair value measurements are based either on actual market data or assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in an orderly transaction, using the valuation hierarchy prescribed by GAAP under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical investments at the measurement date are used.

Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the investment, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 pricing inputs include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar investments in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the investment, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in determination of fair value require significant judgment and estimation.

The Company has other financial instruments consisting primarily of receivables, payables, and other current assets and liabilities that approximate fair value due to the nature of the instruments and their relatively short maturities. Non-financial assets and liabilities initially measured at fair value include assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations and asset retirement obligations.

6

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Long-Term Debt

The fair value of the Senior Notes at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $413.1 million and $412.4 million, respectively. The fair value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in an active market, which is considered a Level 1 input in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the Senior Notes, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, was $393.4 million and $393.3 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included in “Long-term debt, net” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Liability-Classified Stock Based Compensation

The fair value of the liability for future cash-settled stock based compensation was $7.4 million and $5.6 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and is included in “Other current liabilities” and “Other long-term liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the liability for future cash-settled stock based compensation is estimated using observable market data (the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Class A Common Stock relative to the TSR achieved by a specific industry peer group) and Monte Carlo simulation models, which is considered a Level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Specifically, equity-classified stock based compensation is not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but is subject to fair value calculations in certain circumstances. For further detail, see Note 11—Stock Based Compensation. There were no other material nonrecurring fair value measurements as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

Credit Facility

The original RBL Facility was entered into by and among Magnolia Operating, as borrower, Magnolia Intermediate, as its holding company, the banks, financial institutions, and other lending institutions from time to time party thereto, as lenders, the other parties from time to time party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, issuing bank, and swingline lender. On February 16, 2022, Magnolia Operating, as borrower, amended and restated the original RBL Facility in its entirety (the “2022 RBL Facility”). On November 13, 2024, Magnolia Operating, as borrower, amended and restated the 2022 RBL Facility in its entirety, providing for maximum commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion with a letter of credit facility with a $50.0 million sublimit, with an initial borrowing base of $800.0 million and borrowing capacity of $450.0 million. The RBL Facility is
7

guaranteed by certain parent companies and subsidiaries of Magnolia LLC and is collateralized by certain of Magnolia Operating’s oil and natural gas properties. The RBL Facility matures on November 13, 2029, subject to certain conditions.

Borrowings under the RBL Facility bear interest, at Magnolia Operating’s option, at a rate per annum equal to either the term SOFR rate or the alternative base rate plus the applicable margin. Additionally, Magnolia Operating is required to pay a commitment fee quarterly in arrears in respect of unused commitments under the RBL Facility. The applicable margin and the commitment fee rate are calculated based upon the utilization levels of the RBL Facility as a percentage of unused lender commitments then in effect. The RBL Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type, including compliance with a leverage ratio of less than 3.50 to 1.00 and a current ratio of greater than 1.00 to 1.00. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the RBL Facility.

Deferred financing costs in connection with the RBL Facility are amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of five years from November 2024 to November 2029 and included in “Interest expense, net” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized portion of the deferred financing costs is included in “Other long-term assets” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Company recognized interest expense related to the RBL Facility of $0.8 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The Company did not have any outstanding borrowings under the RBL Facility as of March 31, 2026.

Senior Notes

On November 26, 2024, the Issuers issued and sold $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes in a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Senior Notes were issued under the Indenture, dated as of November 26, 2024 (the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuers, the Company, the guarantors named therein, and Regions Bank, as trustee. The Senior Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Company, Magnolia LLC, Magnolia Oil & Gas Holdings LLC, and Magnolia Intermediate and may be guaranteed by certain future subsidiaries of the Company. The Senior Notes will mature on December 1, 2032 and bear interest at the rate of 6.875% per annum.

Deferred financing costs are amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Senior Notes and are included in “Interest expense, net” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The unamortized portion of the deferred financing costs is included as a reduction to the carrying value of the Senior Notes, which has been recorded as “Long-term debt, net” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Company recognized interest expense related to the Senior Notes of $7.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

At any time prior to December 1, 2027, the Issuers may, on any one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes redeemed, plus a “make whole” premium on accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption. After December 1, 2027, the Issuers may redeem all or a part of the Senior Notes based on principal plus a set premium, as set forth in the Indenture, including any accrued and unpaid interest.
8. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is or may become involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business.

Certain of the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders and EnerVest Energy Institutional Fund XIV-C, L.P. (collectively the “Co-Defendants”) and the Company have been named as defendants in a lawsuit where the plaintiffs claim to be entitled to a minority working interest in certain Karnes County Assets. The litigation is in the pre-trial stage. The exposure related to this litigation is currently not reasonably estimable. The Co-Defendants retain all such liability.

Matters that are probable of unfavorable outcome to Magnolia and which can be reasonably estimated are accrued. Such accruals are based on information known about the matters, Magnolia’s estimates of the outcomes of such matters and its experience in contesting, litigating and settling similar matters. The Company does not believe the outcome of any such disputes or legal actions will have a material effect on its consolidated statements of operations, balance sheet, or cash flows after consideration of recorded accruals. Actual amounts could differ materially from management’s estimates.
8

Environmental Matters

The Company, as an owner or lessee and operator of oil and natural gas properties, is subject to various federal, state, and local laws and regulations, and in certain cases permits, relating to discharge of materials into, and the protection of, the environment. These laws, regulations, and permits may, among other things, impose liability on a lessee under an oil and natural gas lease for the cost of pollution clean-up resulting from operations and subject the lessee to liability for pollution damages. In some instances, the Company may be directed to suspend or cease operations in an affected area. The Company maintains insurance coverage, which it believes is customary in the industry, although the Company is not fully insured against all environmental risks.

Contingencies

In November 2023, the Company acquired certain oil and natural gas producing properties including leasehold and mineral interests in the Giddings area. The acquisition included a maximum of $40.0 million in additional contingent cash consideration based on future commodity prices. The contingent consideration was payable in three tranches based on average NYMEX WTI prices for (i) the period beginning July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, (ii) the year ending December 31, 2024, and (iii) the year ending December 31, 2025. The first tranche was settled for $2.7 million in January 2024 and the second tranche was settled for $2.8 million in January 2025. All of the tranches of the contingent consideration were settled as of December 31, 2025 and the final tranche did not require a payment.

The Company recognized a gain of $1.4 million on the revaluation of the contingent consideration for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Gains and losses on revaluation are included in “Other income (expense), net” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
9. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision consists of the following components:
Three Months Ended
 (In thousands)March 31, 2026March 31, 2025
Current:
Federal$3,851 $12,145 
State147 650

State905 562 
Total deferred16,890 12,342 
Income tax expense$20,888 $25,137 

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, Texas state margin tax, and Louisiana corporate income tax. The Company estimates its annual effective tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were 17.2% and 19.1%, respectively. The primary differences between the annual effective tax rates and the statutory rate of 21.0% are state taxes, tax credits, and income attributable to noncontrolling interest.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted legislation referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which contains certain significant changes to U.S. corporate income tax laws and is generally effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024. These changes include, among others, the immediate deduction of domestic research and development (“R&D”) expenses, the option to retroactively deduct previously capitalized R&D expenses, and 100% bonus depreciation for property acquired after January 19, 2025. The impacts are reflected in the Company’s income tax provision for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, which resulted in a decrease in current tax expense offset by an increase in deferred tax expense.
10. Stockholders’ Equity

Class A Common Stock

At March 31, 2026, there were 234.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock issued and 185.4 million shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. The holders of Class A Common Stock vote together as a single class on all matters and are entitled one
9

vote for each share held. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the election of directors, which results in the holders of more than 50% of the Company’s outstanding common shares being able to elect all of the directors. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Class A Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The holders of the Class A Common Stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no sinking fund provisions applicable to such shares.

Class B Common Stock and Noncontrolling Interest

In February 2026, the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders redeemed 4.8 million Magnolia LLC Units (and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock) for an equivalent number of shares of Class A Common Stock and such shares of Class A Common Stock were subsequently sold by the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders to the public. In addition, Magnolia LLC repurchased and subsequently cancelled the remaining 0.7 million Magnolia LLC Units (and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock) owned by Magnolia LLC Unit Holders for $19.8 million.

Noncontrolling interest in Magnolia’s consolidated subsidiaries includes amounts attributable to Magnolia LLC Units that were issued to the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders. As of March 31, 2026, the aforementioned transactions eliminated the Company’s noncontrolling interest and Magnolia owned 100.0% of the interest in Magnolia LLC.

Share Repurchase Program

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s board of directors had authorized a share repurchase program of up to 60.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock. In addition, the Company may repurchase shares pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which would permit the Company to repurchase shares at times that may otherwise be prohibited under the Company’s Amended Insider Trading and Regulation FD Policy. The share repurchase program does not require purchases to be made within a particular time frame. The Company had repurchased 48.4 million shares under the program at a cost of $945.4 million and had 11.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock remaining under its share repurchase authorization as of March 31, 2026.

Dividends and Distributions

The Company’s board of directors periodically declares dividends payable on issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, and a corresponding distribution from Magnolia LLC to Magnolia LLC Unit Holders. Dividends in excess of retained earnings are recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital and distributions to the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders are recorded as a reduction of noncontrolling interest.

The following table sets forth information with respect to cash dividends and distributions declared by the Company’s board of directors during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025, on its own behalf and in its capacity as the managing member of Magnolia LLC, on issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Magnolia LLC Units:

11. Stock Based Compensation

The Company’s board of directors adopted the “Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation Long Term Incentive Plan” (as amended, the “Plan”), effective as of July 17, 2018. A total of 16.8 million shares of Class A Common Stock have been authorized for issuance
10

under the Plan as of March 31, 2026. The Company grants stock based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock units (“RSU”), performance restricted stock units (“PRSU”), and performance share units (“PSU”) to eligible employees and directors to enhance the Company’s ability to attract, retain, and motivate persons who make important contributions to the Company by providing these individuals with equity ownership opportunities. Shares issued as a result of awards granted under the Plan are generally new shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company’s awards provide for accelerated vesting upon retirement under specific conditions.

Stock based compensation expense is recognized net of forfeitures within “General and administrative expenses” and “Lease operating expenses” on the consolidated statements of operations and was $12.2 million and $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company has elected to account for forfeitures of awards granted under the Plan as they occur in determining compensation expense. The total income tax benefit recognized for stock that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $5.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively.

On February 12, 2025, certain PSUs were modified to be 50% settled in cash. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company reclassified 50% of the impacted PSUs from equity-classified awards to liability-classified awards, resulting in a reclassification of $2.0 million from equity to liability. The modification resulted in additional compensation expense of $0.4 million recognized within “General and administrative expenses” on the consolidated statements of operations. The modification affected three grantees.

(1)In February 2026, the Company modified the performance conditions of PSUs granted in 2024 and 2025, resulting in additional compensation expense of $0.7 million that will be recognized prospectively over the remaining service periods. The modification affected fourteen grantees.
(2)Upon completion of the performance period for the PSUs granted in 2023, a performance multiple of 140% was applied to each of the grants resulting in additional PSUs earned in 2026.
The weighted average grant date fair values of the RSUs and PSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were $23.00 and $19.87 per share, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants service-based RSU awards to employees, which generally vest and settle ratably over a three-year service period, and to non-employee directors, which vest in full after one year. Non-employee directors may elect to defer the RSU settlement date. RSUs represent the right to receive shares of Class A Common Stock at the end of the vesting period equal to the number of RSUs that vest. RSUs are subject to restrictions on transfer and are generally subject to a risk of forfeiture if the award recipient ceases to be an employee or director of the Company prior to vesting of the award. Compensation expense for the service-based RSU awards is based upon the grant date market value of the award and such costs are recorded on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award, as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards. The aggregate fair values of RSUs that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $20.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs as of March 31, 2026 was $32.8 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.
11

Performance Restricted Stock Units and Performance Share Units

The Company previously granted PRSUs to certain employees. Each PRSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock once the PRSU is both vested and earned. PRSUs generally vest and settle either ratably over a three-year service period or at the end of a three-year service period, in each case, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service through each applicable vesting date. Each PRSU is earned based on whether Magnolia’s stock price achieves a target average stock price for any 20 consecutive trading days during the five-year performance period (“Performance Condition”). If PRSUs are not earned by the end of the five-year performance period, the PRSUs will be forfeited and no shares of Class A Common Stock will be issued, even if the vesting conditions have been met. Compensation expense for the PRSU awards is based upon 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 requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award, as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards, as applicable. The aggregate fair value of PRSUs that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $5.4 million. The aggregate fair value of PRSUs that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and the unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested PRSUs as of March 31, 2026 were insignificant.

The Company grants equity-classified PSUs to certain employees. Each equity-classified PSU, to the extent earned, represents the contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock and the awardee may earn between zero and 200% of the target number of the equity-classified PSUs granted based on the total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Class A Common Stock relative to the TSR achieved by a specific industry peer group over a three-year performance period. In addition to satisfaction of the TSR conditions, vesting of the equity-classified PSUs is subject to the awardee’s continued employment through the date of settlement of the equity-classified PSUs (unless an employee elects to retire under certain qualifying conditions), which will occur within 60 days following the end of the performance period. The aggregate fair value of equity-classified PSUs that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $4.8 million. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested equity-classified PSUs as of March 31, 2026 was $9.8 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 1.9 years.

The following table summarizes the Monte Carlo simulation assumptions used to calculate the grant date fair value of the equity-classified PSUs granted during the respective periods.

Performance Share Units

The Company grants liability-classified PSUs to certain employees. Each liability-classified PSU, to the extent earned, represents the contingent right to receive cash in lieu of each share of Class A Common Stock and the awardee may earn between zero and 200% of the target number of liability-classified PSUs granted based on the TSR of the Class A Common Stock relative to the TSR achieved by a specific industry peer group over a three-year performance period. In addition to satisfaction of the TSR conditions, vesting of the liability-classified PSUs is subject to the awardee’s continued employment through the date of settlement of the liability-classified PSUs (unless an employee elects to retire under certain qualifying conditions), which will occur within 60 days following the end of the performance period. The aggregate fair value of liability-classified PSUs that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $2.3 million. Unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested liability-classified PSUs as of March 31, 2026 was $5.1 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

The following table summarizes the Monte Carlo simulation assumptions used to remeasure the fair value of the liability-classified PSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

12. Earnings Per Share

The Company’s unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are deemed participating securities, and therefore dividends and net income allocated to such awards have been deducted from earnings in computing basic and diluted net income per share under the two-class method. Diluted net income per share attributable to Class A Common Stock is calculated under both the two-class method and the treasury stock method and the more dilutive of the two calculations is presented.

The components of basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Class A Common Stock are as follows:

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this report, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected costs, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” or “continue” or similar terminology. Although Magnolia believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include, but are not limited to, Magnolia’s assumptions about:

•legislative, regulatory, or policy changes, including those following the change in presidential administrations;

•the market prices of oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”), and other products or services;

•the supply and demand for oil, natural gas, NGLs, and other products or services, including impacts of actions taken by OPEC and other state-controlled oil companies;

•production and reserve levels;

•the timing and extent of the Company’s success in discovering, developing, producing and estimating reserves;

•geopolitical and business conditions in key regions of the world;

•drilling risks;

•economic and competitive conditions;
14


•the availability of capital resources;

•capital expenditures and other contractual obligations;

•weather conditions;

•inflation rates;

•the availability of goods and services;

•cybersecurity threats, including increased use of artificial intelligence technologies;

•the occurrence of property acquisitions or divestitures;

•the integration of acquisitions; and

•the securities or capital markets and related risks such as general credit, liquidity, market, and interest-rate risks.

All of Magnolia’s forward-looking information is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expected. Although it is not possible to identify all factors, these risks and uncertainties include the risk factors and the timing of any of those risk factors identified in the reports that the Company has filed and may file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto.

Overview 

Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (the “Company” or “Magnolia”) is an independent oil and natural gas company engaged in the acquisition, development, exploration, and production of oil, natural gas, and NGL reserves that operates in one reportable segment located in the United States. The Company’s oil and natural gas properties are located primarily in the Karnes and Giddings areas in South Texas, where the Company primarily targets the Eagle Ford Shale and the Austin Chalk formations. Magnolia’s objective is to generate stock market value over the long term through consistent organic production growth, high full cycle operating margins, an efficient capital program with short economic paybacks, significant free cash flow after capital expenditures, and effective reinvestment of free cash flow. The Company’s allocation of capital prioritizes reinvesting in its business to achieve moderate and predictable annual volume growth balanced with returning capital to its shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Magnolia’s business model prioritizes prudent and disciplined capital allocation, free cash flow, and financial stability. The Company’s ongoing plan is to spend within cash flow on drilling and completing wells while maintaining low financial leverage. The Company’s gradual and measured approach toward the development of the Giddings area has created operating efficiencies leading to higher production.

Market Conditions Update

Commodity prices continue to experience volatility driven by geopolitical conflict, evolving global supply-demand dynamics, and macroeconomic uncertainty. Most notably, the escalation of military conflict involving Iran has materially disrupted global energy markets, including significantly constraining the movement of global crude oil and refined product exports through the Strait of Hormuz. These developments, together with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, OPEC and OPEC+ production decisions, and changes in sanctions and trade restrictions affecting major oil-producing countries such as Russia, Iran, and Venezuela, have increased the risk of supply interruptions and contributed to substantial price volatility and uncertainty in global energy markets.

The macroeconomic and geopolitical environment remains uncertain and continues to evolve. In combination with geopolitical risks — including sanctions regimes, trade restrictions, tariff policies that remain subject to legal, regulatory, and policy uncertainty, and the potential for prolonged or expanded disruptions to global energy supply chains — these conditions continue to increase uncertainty with respect to commodity prices, operating costs, and capital availability. The Company continues to closely monitor developments in geopolitical conditions, international trade relations, tariff policies, and energy market dynamics, any of which could adversely affect operating results, financial condition, and future cash flows.

A 4% increase in oil production increased first quarter 2026 revenues by $10.1 million compared to the same period in the prior year, and a 1% increase in average prices increased revenues by $1.7 million.

Natural gas revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $0.4 million higher than the three months ended March 31, 2025. A 5% increase in natural gas production increased first quarter 2026 revenues by $2.7 million compared to the same period in the prior year, partially offset by a 4% decrease in average prices that decreased revenues by $2.3 million.

NGL revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $4.0 million lower than the three months ended March 31, 2025. A 16% decrease in average prices decreased first quarter 2026 revenues by $8.6 million compared to the same period in the prior year, partially offset by a 10% increase in NGL production that increased revenues by $4.6 million.

Operating Expenses and Other Expense

The following table summarizes the Company’s operating expenses and other expense for the periods indicated.

General and administrative expenses3.41 2.83 

Lease operating expenses are costs incurred in the operation of producing properties, including expenses for utilities, direct labor, water disposal, workover rigs, workover expenses, materials, and supplies. Lease operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $0.7 million higher, and $0.25 per boe lower, than the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was due to an increase in surface repair and maintenance and compression associated with higher well count. The decrease in lease operating expenses per boe was due to higher production.

Gathering, transportation and processing (“GTP”) costs are costs incurred to deliver oil, natural gas, and NGLs to the market. These expenses can vary based on the volume of oil, natural gas, and NGLs produced as well as the cost of commodity processing. The GTP costs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $3.3 million, or $0.25 per boe, higher, than the three months ended March 31, 2025 driven by higher production and changes to certain gathering and processing contracts, which resulted in a higher portion of Magnolia’s GTP costs being recognized as expense versus a reduction to Magnolia’s natural gas revenues.

Taxes other than income include production, ad valorem, and franchise taxes. These taxes are based on rates primarily established by state and local taxing authorities. Production taxes are based on the market value of production. Ad valorem taxes are based on the fair market value of the mineral interests or business assets. Taxes other than income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $3.7 million, or $0.53 per boe, lower than the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in taxes other than income was primarily due to a decrease in ad valorem taxes as a result of lower market valuations and a decrease in production taxes as a result of severance tax refunds.

18

Depreciation, depletion and amortization (“DD&A”) during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $7.5 million, or $0.10 per boe, higher than the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in DD&A was primarily due to higher production. The slight increase in the DD&A rate period over period was primarily due to acquisitions made during 2026.

General and administrative expenses (“G&A”) consists primarily of salaries and related benefits, stock based compensation, office rent, legal and consulting fees, system costs and other administrative costs incurred. The table below reflects the Company’s G&A for the periods indicated:
Three Months Ended
(In thousands)March 31, 2026March 31, 2025
General and administrative expenses$20,160 $18,696 
Stock based compensation11,284 5,892 
Total general and administrative expenses$31,444 $24,588 

G&A during the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $6.9 million, or $0.58 per boe, higher, than the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in G&A was primarily due to increased stock based compensation expense as a result of higher grant date fair values, accelerated vesting of certain awards, and changes in expected payouts for the Company’s performance share unit awards.

Income Tax Expense

The following table summarizes the Company’s income tax expense for the periods indicated.

Three Months Ended
(In thousands)March 31, 2026March 31, 2025
Current income tax expense$3,998 $12,795 
Deferred income tax expense16,890 12,342 
Income tax expense$20,888 $25,137 

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, income tax expense was $4.2 million lower than the three months ended March 31, 2025 driven by an $8.8 million decrease in current income tax expense and offset by a $4.6 million increase in deferred income tax expense. The decrease in total tax expense was primarily due to a decrease in income before income taxes and an increase in the discrete impact from stock based compensation that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to March 31, 2025. Accelerated deductions as a result of the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act resulted in lower current tax expense and higher deferred tax expense. See Note 9— Income Taxes in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further detail.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Magnolia’s primary source of liquidity and capital has been its cash flows from operations. The Company’s primary uses of cash have been for development of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties, returning capital to shareholders, bolt-on acquisitions of oil and natural gas properties, and general working capital needs.

The Company may also utilize borrowings under other various financing sources available to Magnolia, including the RBL Facility and the issuance of equity or debt securities through public offerings or private placements, to fund Magnolia’s acquisitions and long-term liquidity needs. Magnolia’s ability to complete future offerings of equity and debt securities and the timing of these offerings will depend upon various factors, including prevailing market conditions and the Company’s financial condition. The Company anticipates its current cash balance, cash flows from operations, and its available sources of liquidity to be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash requirements.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $400.0 million of principal debt related to the Senior Notes outstanding and no outstanding borrowings related to the RBL Facility. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $574.4 million of liquidity comprised of the $450.0 million of borrowing capacity under the RBL Facility, and $124.4 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

At March 31, 2026, Magnolia had $124.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions in the United States. Deposits with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. However, the Company regularly monitors the financial stability of its financial institutions and believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant default risk.

Sources and Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents

The following table presents the sources and uses of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents for the periods presented:

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Operating cash flows are the Company’s primary source of liquidity and are impacted, in the short-term and long-term, by oil and natural gas prices. The factors that determine operating cash flows are largely the same as those that affect net earnings, with the exception of certain non-cash expenses such as DD&A, stock based compensation, amortization of deferred financing costs, asset retirement obligations accretion, and deferred taxes.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $197.6 million and $224.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash provided by operating activities decreased due to lower realized NGL prices and the timing of receipts and payments, partially offset by increased production and the receipt of tax refunds.

Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents

Acquisitions

The Company made individually insignificant bolt-on acquisitions totaling $155.0 million and $24.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Additions to Oil and Natural Gas Properties

The following table sets forth the Company’s capital expenditures for the periods presented:
Three Months Ended
(In thousands)March 31, 2026March 31, 2025
Drilling and completion$128,687 $130,439 
Leasehold acquisition costs(260)729 
Total capital expenditures$128,427 $131,168 

During the first quarter of 2026, Magnolia operated two rigs. The activity during the first quarter of 2026 was largely driven by the number of operated and non-operated drilling rigs. The number of operated drilling rigs is largely dependent on commodity prices and the Company’s strategy of maintaining spending to accommodate the Company’s business model. The Company’s ongoing plan is to continue to spend within cash flow on drilling and completing wells while maintaining low financial leverage.

Capital Requirements

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s board of directors had authorized a share repurchase program of up to 60.0 million shares of Class A Common Stock. The program does not require purchases to be made within a particular time frame and whether the Company undertakes these additional repurchases is ultimately subject to numerous considerations, market conditions, and other factors. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company repurchased 1.2 million and 2.2 million shares for a total cost of approximately $32.1 million and $52.0 million, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Magnolia LLC repurchased and subsequently canceled 0.7 million Magnolia LLC Units with an equal number of shares of corresponding Class B Common Stock for $19.8 million of cash consideration. As of March 31, 2026, Magnolia owned 100.0% of the interest in Magnolia LLC.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company declared and paid cash dividends to holders of its Class A Common Stock totaling $30.5 million. Additionally, $0.9 million was distributed to the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company declared and paid cash dividends to holders of its Class A Common Stock totaling $28.9 million. Additionally, $0.8 million was distributed to the Magnolia LLC Unit Holders. The amount and frequency of future dividends is subject to the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and primarily depends on earnings, capital expenditures, debt covenants, and various other factors.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

For variable rate debt, interest rate changes generally do not affect the fair market value of such debt, but do impact future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. The Company is subject to market risk exposure related to changes in interest rates on borrowings under the RBL Facility. Interest on borrowings under the RBL Facility is based on the SOFR rate or alternative base rate plus an applicable margin. At March 31, 2026, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the RBL Facility.

Commodity Price Risk

Magnolia’s primary market risk exposure is to the prices it receives for its oil, natural gas, and NGL production. The prices the Company ultimately realizes for its oil, natural gas, and NGLs are based on a number of variables, including prevailing index prices attributable to the Company’s production and certain differentials to those index prices. Pricing for oil, natural gas, and NGLs has historically been volatile and unpredictable, and this volatility is expected to continue in the future. The prices the Company receives for production depend on factors outside of its control, including physical markets, supply and demand, financial markets, and national and international policies. A $1.00 per barrel increase (decrease) in the weighted average oil price for the three months ended March 31, 2026 would have increased (decreased) the Company’s revenues by approximately $14.6 million on an annualized basis and a $0.10 per Mcf increase (decrease) in the weighted average natural gas price for the three months ended March 31, 2026 would have increased (decreased) the Company’s revenues by approximately $7.0 million on an annualized basis.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, Magnolia has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including Magnolia’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2026. Based on such evaluation, Magnolia’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by it in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
