February 25, 2026, Mexico City, Mexico

Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Vista” or the “Company”) (NYSE: VIST; BMV: VISTA) reported today its financial and operational results corresponding to Q4 2025 and full year 2025.

Q4 2025 highlights:

 

   

Total production in Q4 2025 was 135,414 boe/d, a 7% increase q-o-q, driven by strong performance in operated and non-operated blocks, and a 59% increase compared to Q4 2024, mainly driven by the acquisition of a 50% working interest in La Amarga Chica block in April 2025. Oil production in Q4 2025 was 118,285 bbl/d, an 8% sequential increase and a 61% increase y-o-y.

 

   

In Q4 2025, the average realized crude oil price was 58.9 $/bbl, a 9% decrease compared to the average realized crude oil price in Q3 2025, and a 12% decrease compared to Q4 2024, in both cases mainly driven by lower Brent. (1)

 

   

The realized natural gas price for Q4 2025 was 1.8 $/MMBtu, a 23% decrease y-o-y, mainly driven by lower gas prices in the industrial sector.

 

   

Total revenues in Q4 2025 were 689.2 $MM, 46% above Q4 2024, mainly driven by oil production growth, and partially offset by lower oil prices. Total revenues were 2% below Q3 2025, as oil production growth was offset by lower oil prices. Net revenues during the quarter were 669.6 $MM. Net oil revenues from sales at export parity prices, combining both international and domestic markets, were 100% of total net oil revenues. Net revenues from oil and gas exports were 421.2 $MM, representing 63% of total net revenues. (1)

 

   

Lifting cost in Q4 2025 was 4.1 $/boe, 8% below the previous quarter, driven by the dilution of fixed costs due to production growth and the focus on cost control.

 

   

Selling expenses in Q4 2025 were 4.2 $/boe, 48% below Q4 2024, driven by the elimination of trucking as of the end of Q1 2025, as the Oldelval Duplicar pipeline became online. (1)

 

   

Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2025 was 444.0 $MM, a 62% increase y-o-y, mainly driven by 59% production growth, combining organic growth and the consolidation of 50% working interest in La Amarga Chica block. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 64%, 8 p.p. above Q4 2024.

 

   

Net income in Q4 2025 was 85.7 $MM, compared to 93.8 $MM in Q4 2024, reflecting a higher Profit before income tax, offset by higher Income tax expense. Adjusted net income during Q4 2025 totaled 51.5 $MM, compared to 22.1 $MM in Q4 2024. EPS was 0.8 $/share in Q4 2025, compared to 1.0 $/share in Q4 2024. Adjusted EPS was 0.5 $/share in Q4 2025, compared to 0.2 $/share in Q4 2024.

 

   

Capex during Q4 2025 was 355.1 $MM. The Company invested 301.3 $MM in drilling, completion and workover of Vaca Muerta wells, mainly in connection with the drilling of 22 wells, the completion of 18 wells and the tie-in of 16 new wells during the quarter. Additionally, the Company invested 23.7 $MM in development facilities, and 30.0 $MM in G&G studies, IT and other projects. The average D&C cost for wells tied-in in Bajada del Palo Oeste during the second semester of 2025, normalized at 2,800 meters of lateral length and 47 stages, was 12.1 $MM per well.

In Q4 2025, the Company recorded a free cash flow of 75.6 $MM. Cash flow generated by operating activities was 435.3 $MM, reflecting income tax payments of 32.3 $MM and an increase in working capital of 15.5 $MM. Cash flow used in investing activities reached 359.7 $MM for the quarter, reflecting accrued capex of 355.1 $MM and a 15.9 $MM decrease in capex-related working capital. Cash flow from financing activities totaled 143.1 $MM, mainly driven by proceeds from borrowings of 618.3 $MM, partially offset by the repayment of borrowings’ capital for 367.6 $MM and the payment of borrowings’ interests of 74.6 $MM. (2)

 

(1)

Revenues for Q4 2025 as filed and reported were 719 $MM. For comparison purposes, revenues, avg. realized oil price and selling expenses exclude 29.8 $MM of Sea freight selling expenses, collected as revenues and incurred by our trading subsidiary VEISA in Q4 2025.

(2)

Q4 2025 Cash flow from financing activities is the sum of: (i) cash flow generated by financing activities for 141.8 $MM; (ii) effect of exposure to changes in the foreign currency rate of cash and cash equivalents and other financial results for -5.9 $MM; (iii) the variation in Government bonds for 1.7 $MM; and (iv) Other investments for 5.6 $MM.

Full year 2025 highlights:

 

   

During 2025, the Company completed and tied-in 74 new shale oil net wells. Nine pads were tied-in in Bajada del Palo Oeste (BPO-31 to BPO-39), which added 36 new wells on production; three pads were tied-in in Bajada del Palo Este (BPE-8 to BPE-10), which added 9 new wells on production; one 4-well pad was tied-in in Aguada Federal (AF-9); and 25 net wells were tied-in in La Amarga Chica. Total shale production averaged 110,666 boe/d in 2025. The number of cumulative shale wells tied-in increased to 153 in Bajada del Palo Oeste, 153 in La Amarga Chica (reflecting Vista’s 50% working interest), 26 in Bajada del Palo Este, 17 in Aguada Federal and 2 in Águila Mora, for a total of 351 net cumulative shale wells tied-in in Vaca Muerta by year-end.

 

   

Total proved reserves as of December 31, 2025, totaled 588.1 MMboe, a 57% increase compared to 375.2 MMboe as of December 31, 2024.

(2)

 

   

Cash at the end of 2025 was 538 $MM. Gross debt totaled 3,154 $MM as of year-end, resulting in a net debt of 2,616 $MM. At year-end 2025, net leverage ratio was 1.5x on a pro forma basis and 1.6x on a non-pro forma basis. (3)

 

(1)

Revenues for 2025 as filed and reported were 2,474 $MM. For comparison purposes, revenues, avg. realized oil price and selling expenses exclude 29.8 $MM of Sea freight selling expenses, collected as revenues and incurred by our trading subsidiary VEISA in Q4 2025.

During Q4 2025, Vista Energy International S.A. (“VEISA”), the Company’s dedicated trading arm, started operations. VEISA is a company fully owned by Vista. Although VEISA sells mostly on a CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight), CFR (Cost and Freight) or DAP (Delivered At Place) basis, for consistency purposes we will continue to report sales and realized prices on a FOB (Free On Board) equivalent basis.

During Q4 2025, total revenues were 719.1 $MM. Excluding Sea freight selling expenses, total revenues were 689.2 $MM, 46% above Q4 2024, mainly driven by oil production growth, and partially offset by lower oil prices. Total revenues were 2% below Q3 2025, as oil production growth was offset by lower oil prices. Net revenues were 669.6 $MM. Net revenues from oil and gas exports were 421.2 $MM, representing 63% of total net revenues.

Crude oil net revenues in Q4 2025 totaled 651.8 $MM, representing 97.3% of total net revenues and a 50% increase compared to Q4 2024, driven by oil production growth and partially offset by lower realized oil prices. On a sequential basis, oil net revenues decreased by 1%, as lower oil prices offset a 7% production increase. Average realized oil price during the quarter was 58.9 $/bbl, 12% below Q4 2024 and 9% below Q3 2025. Net oil revenues from sales at export parity prices, combining both international and domestic markets, were 100% of total net oil revenues.

During Q4 2025, the Company exported 64% of crude oil sales volumes at a realized price of 59.0 $/bbl. Net revenues from the oil export market accounted for 64% of net oil revenues, reaching 418.7 $MM.

Natural gas net revenues in Q4 2025 were 16.1 $MM, representing 2.4% of total net revenues. The average realized natural gas price for the quarter was 1.8 $/MMBtu, a 23% decrease compared to Q4 2024. Plan GasAr represented 38% of total natural gas sales volume, with an average realized price of 2.5 $/MMBtu during the quarter. Sales to industrial clients represented 57% of total natural gas sales volume at an average realized price of 1.0 $/MMBtu. The remaining 5% of total natural gas sales volume was exported at an average realized price of 5.0 $/MMBtu, a 23% price decrease compared to Q4 2024.

NGL net revenues were 1.7 $MM during Q4 2025, representing 0.3% of total net revenues. NGL average price was 344 $/tn.

Selling expenses as filed and reported were 81.8 $MM in Q4 2025 and 218.1 $MM in 2025. For comparison purposes, figures shown in this section exclude 29.8 $MM of Sea freight selling expenses incurred by VEISA, leading to selling expenses of 51.9 $MM in Q4 2025 and 188.2 $MM in 2025. On a per unit basis, selling expenses in Q4 2025 were 4.2 $/boe, a 48% decrease y-o-y, driven by the elimination of trucking as of the end of Q1 2025, as the Oldelval Duplicar pipeline became online.

Adjusted EBITDA was 444.0 $MM in Q4 2025, a 62% increase compared to 273.3 $MM in Q4 2024, mainly driven by production growth, combining organic growth and the consolidation of 50% working interest in La Amarga Chica.

On a sequential basis, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 6% in Q4 2025, driven by lower oil and gas prices, which offset production growth. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 64%, 8 p.p. above Q4 2024.

This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” concerning the future. Words such as “believes,” “thinks,” “forecasts,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “should,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and “future” or similar expressions are included with the intention of identifying statements about the future. For the avoidance of doubt, any projection, guidance, or similar estimation about future results, performance, or achievements is a forward-looking statement. Although the assumptions and estimates on which forward-looking statements are based are believed by our management to be reasonable and based on the best currently available information, such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control.

There will be differences between actual and projected results, and actual results may be materially greater or materially less than those contained in the projections. Projections related to production results, as well as cost estimations, are based on information as of the date of this presentation and reflect numerous assumptions, including assumptions with respect to type curves for new well designs and certain frac spacing expectations, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control and remain subject to several risks and uncertainties. The inclusion of the projected financial information in this document should not be regarded as an indication that we or our management considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events. As such, no representation can be made as to the attainability of projections, guidance, or other estimations of future results, performance, or achievements. We have not warranted the accuracy, reliability, appropriateness, or completeness of the projections to anyone. Neither our management nor any of our representatives has made or makes any representation to any person regarding our future performance compared to the information contained in the projections, and none of them intends to or undertakes any obligation to update or otherwise revise the projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date when made or to reflect the occurrence of future events in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projections are shown to be in error. We may or may not refer back to these projections in our future periodic reports filed or furnished under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These expectations and projections are subject to significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any expected or projected results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Many important factors could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward looking statements, including, among other things uncertainties relating to future government concessions and exploration permits; adverse outcomes in litigation that may arise in the future; general political, economic, social, demographic and business conditions in Argentina, Mexico and in other countries in which we may operate in the future; the impact of political developments and uncertainties relating to political and economic conditions in Argentina, including the policies of the current government in Argentina; significant economic or political developments in Mexico, Argentina and the United States; changes in law, rules, regulations and interpretations and enforcements thereto applicable to the Argentine and Mexican energy sectors and throughout Latin America, including changes to the regulatory environment in which we operate and changes to programs established to promote investments in the energy industry; any unexpected increases in financing costs or an inability to obtain financing and/or additional capital pursuant to attractive terms; any changes in the capital markets in general that may affect the policies or attitude in Argentina and/or Mexico, and/or Argentine and Mexican companies with respect to financings extended to or investments made in Argentina and Mexico or Argentine and Mexican companies; fines or other penalties and claims by the authorities and/or customers; restrictions on the ability to exchange Mexican or Argentine Pesos into foreign currencies or to transfer funds abroad; the imposition of import restrictions on goods that are key for the maintenance of our assets; the revocation or amendment of our respective concession agreements by the granting authority; our ability to renew certain hydrocarbon exploitation concessions; our ability to implement our capital expenditures plans or business strategy, including our ability to obtain financing when necessary and on reasonable terms; government intervention, including measures that result in changes to the Argentine and Mexican labor markets, exchange markets or tax systems; continued and/or higher rates of inflation and fluctuations in exchange rates, including the devaluation and/or appreciation of the Mexican Peso or Argentine Peso; any force majeure events, or fluctuations or reductions in the value of Argentine public debt; changes to the demand for oil and gas in particular, and energy in general,
