Note 1. Group information

1.1 Company general information

Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V. (“VISTA”, the “Company” or the “Group”), was organized as a variable-capital stock company on March 22, 2017, under the laws of the United Mexican States (“Mexico”). The Company adopted the public corporation or “Sociedad Anónima Bursátil de Capital Variable” (“S.A.B. de C.V.”) on July 28, 2017.

It is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under ticker symbol “VIST” as from July 26, 2019.

Its main office is located in City of Mexico, Mexico, at Mapfre Tower, Paseo de la Reforma Avenue 243, 18th floor, Colonia Cuauhtémoc, Alcaldía Cuauhtémoc, zip code 06500.

As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company’s main activity, through its subsidiaries, is the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas (“Upstream”).

Except as mentioned in Notes 1.2 and 30, there were no significant changes in the Group’s structure and activities as from the date of issuance of the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025.

1.2 Significant transactions for the period

1.2.1 Acquisition of Equinor Argentina S.A.U. (“Equinor”) and Bajo del Toro block (the “Business Acquisition”)

On February 2, 2026, the Company and its subsidiary Vista Argentina, entered into a series of agreements through the following transactions: (i) the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Equinor, holder of a 30% working interest in the Bandurria Sur block; (ii) the acquisition of a 50% working interest in the Bajo del Toro block from Equinor Argentina B.V. Sucursal Argentina; and then (iii) the sale of 16.3% of the capital stock of Equinor to YPF S.A. (“YPF”), implying an indirect assignment of a 4.9% working interest of Bandurria Sur; and (iv) the assignment of a 15% working interest of Bajo del Toro block to YPF.

Under the terms of the mentioned transaction, the net price will be paid as follows: (i) 387,000 in cash (550,000 of payments net of 163,000 to be collected from YPF); and (ii) the delivery of 6,223,220 American Depositary Shares representing Vista’s Series A shares (“ADSs”). Such price shall be subject to cash, debt, working capital, contributions, leakages and other customary adjustments.

Additionally, the consideration provides for a contingent price payable, if applicable, in five annual installments, without accruing interest, calculated based on the annual working interest production of the assets multiplied by a price per barrel (“bbl”) equal to the average Brent price of the preceding year minus 65 USD/bbl, with no payment due at or below 65 USD/bbl Brent and a cap of 15 USD/bbl at or above 80 USD/bbl Brent.

As of the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements the Business Acquisition has not yet closed.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company made payments for a net amount of 79,742 related to a security deposit for the Business Acquisition and other associated costs (Note 15).

Note 2. Basis of preparation and material accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation and presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 – “Interim Financial Reporting”, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Company prepared its interim financial statements on a condensed basis pursuant to IAS 34. Certain explanatory notes are included to describe the events and transactions that are relevant to understand the changes in the financial position as of March 31, 2026, and the results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. Therefore, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared using the same accounting policies as used in preparing the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, except for the income tax expense that is recognized in each interim period based on the best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.

They were prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value. The figures contained herein are stated in US Dollars (“USD”) and are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated.

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved for publication by the Board of Directors on April 29, 2026 and the subsequent events through that date are considered (Note 30).

2.2 New effective accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB adopted by the Company

The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

None of the accounting pronouncements applicable after December 31, 2025, and as of the date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements had a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or result of its operations.

2.3 Basis of consolidation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Except as mentioned in Notes 1.2 and 30, there were no other significant changes in interest in Company subsidiaries during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

2.4 Summary of material accounting policies

2.4.1 Impairment of goodwill and property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and other intangible assets (“long-lived assets”) other than goodwill

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment at the lowest level in which there are separately identifiable cash flows largely independent of the cash flows of other Cash Generating Units (“CGUs”).

The Company conducts its impairment test of long-lived assets when there is an indication that the carrying amount may be impaired. Moreover, Goodwill is tested every December. The Company bases the impairment test on the calculation of value in use and reviews the relationship between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount of its assets.

As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not identify trigger events related to goodwill and long-lived assets other than goodwill.

See Note 3.2.2 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025.

VISTA ENERGY, S.A.B. DE C.V.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

2.4.2 Business combination

The acquisition method is used to book business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for these acquisitions comprises:

(i)	The fair value of transferred assets;

(ii)	The liabilities incurred to former owners of the acquired business;

(iii)

The equity interests issued by the Company;

(iv)	The fair value of any asset or liability from a contingent consideration arrangement; and

(v)	The fair value of any previously held equity interest in the subsidiary.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at fair values at the acquisition date.

The costs related to the acquisition are booked as incurred expenses. Goodwill is an excess of:

(i)	The consideration transferred; and

(ii)	The fair value of net identifiable assets acquired.

If the fair value of the acquiree’s net identifiable assets exceeds these amounts, before recognizing profit, the Company reassesses whether it has correctly identified all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, reviewing the procedures employed to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the assessment still results in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired in relation to the total consideration transferred, gain from a bargain purchase is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, under “Gain from Business Combination” within “Other operating income”.

When the settlement of any cash consideration is deferred, the future amounts payable is discounted at their present value at the exchange date. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration will be recognized at its fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration is classified as equity or as a financial liability. The amounts classified as a financial liability are remeasured at fair value with changes in fair value through the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets acquired and liabilities incurred in relation to its adequate classification and designation according to contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions as of the acquisition date.

Oil reserves and resources acquired that may be measured reliably are recognized separately at fair value upon the acquisition.

Other potential reserves, resources and rights, which fair values cannot be measured reliability, are not recognized separately but are considered part of goodwill.

If the business combination is performed in stages, the previously held equity interest in the acquiree is measured at acquisition-date fair value. Profit or loss from such remeasurement is recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The Company has a maximum period of 12 months from the date of acquisition to finalize the acquisition accounting. When it is incomplete as of the end of the year in which the business combination takes place, the Company reports provisional amounts.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company didn’t carry out business combination. During the year ended December 31, 2025 the Company recognized the acquisition of Vista Energy Lach S.A. (“Vista Lach”) as a business combination (“Business Combination”). See Notes 1.2.2 and 32 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025.

VISTA ENERGY, S.A.B. DE C.V.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

2.4.3 Commodity risk management contracts

The Company has entered into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to oil price fluctuation, only for the short term, on a quarterly basis. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, these instruments consisted primarily of ICE Brent futures and fixed-price swaps. The derivatives were executed through international brokers, including exchange-cleared accounts and bilateral agreements under ISDA Master Agreements with financial institutions.

The Company’s derivatives are accounted for as non-hedge derivatives and therefore all changes in the fair values of its derivative contracts are recognized as gains or losses in the results of the periods in which they occur.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a loss of 150,712 related to the commodity risk management contracts.

2.5 Regulatory framework

A- Argentina

2.5.1 Regulatory framework for oil and gas activity

(i) Decree No. 105/2026

On February 19, 2026, Decree No. 105/2026 was published in the Official Bulletin, establishing a one-year extension as from July 8, 2026, to join the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (the “RIGI” by Spanish acronym). The decree includes onshore upstream crude oil and natural gas development projects as eligible promoted activities.

The minimum investment amount is set at 600,000. Qualifying projects must be located in areas with no significant development and must ensure segregation and traceability through a separate measurement system in cases where qualifying and non-qualifying activities coexist. As of the date of issuance of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company is assessing whether this regulation applies to its projects.

Other than mentioned above, there have been no significant changes in Argentina’s regulatory framework during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 (See Note 2.5 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025).

Note 3. Segment information

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “Committee” or “CODM”) is in charge of allocating resources and assessing the performance of the operating segment. It supervises operating profit (loss), and the performance of the indicators related to its oil and gas properties on an aggregate basis to make decisions regarding the location of resources, negotiate with international suppliers and determine the method for managing contracts with customers.

The CODM considers as a single segment the exploration and production of crude oil, natural gas and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (“LPG”) (including Exploration and Production commercial activities), through its own activities, subsidiaries and interests in joint operations and based on the nature of the business, customer portfolio and risks involved. The Company aggregated no segment as it has only one.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company generated 100% of its revenues related to assets located in Argentina.

The accounting criteria used by the subsidiaries to measure profit or loss, assets and liabilities of the segments are consistent with those used in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 10. Earnings per share

10.1 Basic

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s profit by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.


	Period from January 1, through March 31, 2026		Period from January 1, through March 31, 2025
Profit for the period, net		107,713		82,793
Weighted average number of ordinary shares		104,615,383		96,456,618

Basic earnings per share		1.030		0.858

10.2 Diluted

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the Company’s profit by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, plus the weighted average of dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Potential ordinary shares will be considered dilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares may reduce earnings per share or increase losses per share. They will be considered antidilutive when their conversion to ordinary shares may result in an increase in earnings per share or a reduction in loss per share.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share does not involve a conversion; the exercise or other issue of shares that may have an antidilutive effect on loss per share, or when the exercise price is higher than the average price of ordinary shares during the period, no dilution effect is booked, as diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share.

Related to the agreement signed with Tango Energy Argentina S.A. connected with the transfer of conventional assets (“transfer of conventional assets”). For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized 4,997 and 7,240, respectively, mainly related to the amortization of the account receivable, in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss under “Other non-cash costs related to the transfer of conventional assets”. Additionally, for the period ended March 31, 2025 the Company received 5,734, related to the transaction (See Note 3.2.8 to the annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025).

Due to the short-term nature of current trade and other receivables, it carrying amount is considered similar to its fair value. The fair values of noncurrent trade and other receivables do not differ significantly from it carrying amounts either.

As of March 31, 2026, in general, accounts receivable has a 30-day term for sales of crude oil and a 45-day term for sales of natural gas and LPG.

The Company sets up a provision for trade receivables when there is information showing that the debtor is facing severe financial difficulties and that there is no realistic probability of recovery, for example, when the debtor goes into liquidation or files for bankruptcy proceedings. Trade receivables that are derecognized are not subject to compliance activities. The Company recognized an allowance for expected credit losses against all trade receivables that are 90 days past due because based on its history these receivables are generally not recovered.

As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the provision for expected credit losses was recorded for 101 and 70 respectively.

As of the date of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, maximum exposure to credit risk is related to the carrying amount of each class of accounts receivable.

16.4 Fair value

This note includes information on the Company’s method for assessing the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities.

16.4.1 Fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The Company classifies the measurements at fair value of financial instruments using a fair value hierarchy, which shows the relevance of the variables applied to carry out these measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

•

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2: data other than the quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities, either directly (that is prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices).

•

Level 3: data on the asset or liability that are based on information that cannot be observed in the market (that is, non-observable data).

The following chart shows the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:


As of March 31, 2026	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Plan assets		1,881		—		—		1,881
Short-term investments		226,379		—		—		226,379

Total assets		228,260		—		—		228,260


As of December 31, 2025	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Plan assets		1,865		—		—		1,865
Short-term investments		109,433		—		—		109,433

Total assets		111,298		—		—		111,298

The value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices as of the date of these accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. A market is considered active when quoted prices are available regularly through a stock exchange, a broker, a specific sector entity or regulatory agency, and these prices reflect regular and current market transactions between parties at arm’s length. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company is the current offer price. These instruments are included in Level 1.

For financial instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data, when available, and minimize the use of Company’s specific estimates. Should all significant variables used to establish the fair value of a financial instrument be observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Should one or more variables used in determining the fair value not be observable in the market, the financial instrument is included in Level 3.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 from December 31, 2025, through March 31, 2026.

16.4.2 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value (but require fair value disclosures)

Except for the information included in the following chart, the Company considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities recognized in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements approximate to its fair values, as explained in the related notes.

16.5 Risk management objectives and policies concerning financial instruments

16.5.1 Financial risk factors

The Company’s activities are exposed to several financial risks: market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

Financial risk management is included in the Company’s global policies, and it adopts a comprehensive risk management policy focused on tracking risks affecting the entire Company. This strategy aims at striking a balance between profitability targets and risk exposure levels. Financial risks are derived from the financial instruments to which the Company is exposed during each period or as of every period-end.

The Company’s financial department, controls financial risk by identifying, assessing and covering financial risks. The risk management systems and policies are reviewed regularly to show the changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities.

The Company reviewed its exposure to financial risk factors and identified no significant changes in the risk analysis included in its annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025, except for the following:

16.5.1.1 Market risk

Exchange rate risk

The Company’s financial position and results of operations are sensitive to exchange rate changes between USD and ARS. As of December 31, 2025, the Company performed foreign exchange currency transactions, and the impact in the results of the period is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss in “Other financial income (expense)”.

Most Company revenues are denominated in USD, or the changes in sales follow the changes in USD listed price.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 ARS appreciated by about 5%. However during the year ended December 31, 2025 ARS depreciated by about 41%.

The following chart shows the sensitivity to a modification in the exchange rate of ARS to USD while maintaining the remainder variables constant. Impact on profit before taxes is related to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the USD, the Company’s functional currency. The Company’s exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates for the remainder currencies is immaterial.


	As of March 31, 2026	As of December 31, 2025
Changes in exchange rate:	+/-10%	+/-10%
Effect on profit or loss before income taxes	6,503 / (6,503)	8,169 / (8,169)
Effect on equity before income taxes	6,503 / (6,503)	8,169 / (8,169)

Interest rate risk

The purpose of interest rate risk management is to minimize finance costs and limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate increases.

Variable-rate indebtedness exposes the Company’s cash flows to interest rate risk due to potential volatility. Fixed-rate indebtedness exposes the Company to interest rate risk on the fair value of its liabilities as they could be considerably higher than variable rates. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, about 19% and 13% of indebtedness was subject to variable interest rates, respectively.

VISTA ENERGY, S.A.B. DE C.V.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of US Dollars, except otherwise indicated)

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025, the average interest rate for borrowings in ARS was 32.88%.

For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, the variable interest rate of borrowings denominated in USD stood at 7.04% and 6.49%, respectively.

The Company expects to lessen its interest rate exposure by analyzing and assessing (i) the different sources of liquidity available in domestic and international financial and capital markets (if available); (ii) alternative (fixed or variable) interest rates, currencies and contractual terms available for companies in a sector, industry and risk similar to the Company’s; and (iii) the availability, access and cost of interest rate hedge contracts. Hence, the Company assesses the impact on profit or loss of each strategy on the obligations that represent the main positions to the main interest-bearing positions.

The Company considers that the risk of an increase in interest rates is low; therefore, it does not expect substantial debt risk.

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, and for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company did not use derivative financial instruments to mitigate interest rate risks.

Note 17. Investments in associates

	Equity interest		Income (loss) from investments in associates					Investments in associates
