EARNINGS/GUIDANCE:GameStopPerfect Moment, with EPS and revenue higher year-over-yearKolibri Global EnergyNikeon June 30Constellation Brandson June 30INDEXES:Near midday, the Dow was up 0.44%, or 230.00, to 52,106.11, the Nasdaq was up 1.34%, or 339.82, to 25,637.44, and the S&P 500 was up 0.75%, or 55.11, to 7,409.13.

Sees FY26 adjusted EBITDA $56M-$62M, up 33%-47% vs. FY25. Wolf Regener, President and CEO, commented, "This revised forecast generates an Adjusted EBITDA of $56 to $62 million on capital expenditures of $39 to $43 million. Our forecasted revenue increases by over 40 percent from 2025 with this drilling program and is based on a future oil price of $70 per barrel (our previous forecast was based on $74 per barrel). This forecast not only demonstrates the Company's strong cash flow generation, but it also reflects the beginning of our updated strategy to target other benches in the Tishomingo field. The forecast also accounts for the extra costs incurred in drilling and redrilling the first Clifton Mack well and the redesigned second and third Clifton Mack wells. These wells will be more expensive than our normal Caney well design due to the extra casing strings needed in this area. Although we encountered unexpected geologic conditions in drilling the first Clifton Mack well, the pressures we encountered are supportive of high production rates from the Clifton Mack wells. Our standard Caney well design will continue to be used in other areas of the field. "

The Company's strategy to date has been to mainly focus on developing the Lower Caney in the Company's Tishomingo field in Oklahoma. However, the Company has long known that there are other benches in its field that are not currently reflected in the Company's reserve report. It believes that, with modifications to its latest completion techniques, these benches can be economically developed. The Company has revised its strategy to include targeting these benches while continuing the development of the Lower Caney. These benches include the False Caney, the Upper Caney, the T-zone, and the Sycamore. The Company's strategy will be to continue drilling mainly one and a half and two-mile lateral development wells in the Lower Caney formation while also drilling longer lateral wells into these additional benches to determine their economic viability. The Company is adding an additional well to its 2026 drilling program, which will target the False Caney. The Upper Caney is likely to be the next bench targeted and may be drilled in late 2026 or early 2027. The Company will determine the next T-zone well and potentially test the Sycamore at a later date.
