• Successfully completed an initial public offering on the NYSE and NYSE Texas on May 15, 2026, issuing 19.9 million Class A shares, including the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, at a price of $18.50 per share and raising approximately $368 million in gross proceeds.

• On August 10, 2026, acquired Intrepid Ranch, an approximately 50,000-acre, 22,000-fee-acre position in Lea County, New Mexico directly adjacent to EagleRock's existing surface footprint, for a total purchase price of $78.2 million, expanding the Company's contiguous Delaware Basin position.

Management Commentary

“EagleRock holds a stronghold position in two of the most important sub-basins in the Permian, co-located with some of the deepest, most economic drilling inventory in the country,” said Greg Pipkin, Chief Executive Officer of EagleRock. “The pieces of this platform are worth more together than they'd be apart, reinforced by our strategic partners. Together, they deliver durable, royalty and fee driven cash flow that moves largely independent of commodity price swings, a broader base to keep growing organically and through acquisition, and meaningful upside as the Permian evolves into a full-scale energy ecosystem.”

“We're already delivering on that growth potential. In the second quarter, we delivered more than 30% revenue and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA growth on a quarter-over-quarter basis, consistent with the expectations we set when we went public. That same growth strategy is now showing up in our acquisition activity, and we're pleased to announce the purchase of Intrepid Ranch, a contiguous, adjacent asset in Lea County, New Mexico. With this asset, we intend to apply the same active management playbook that's driving our results today, renegotiating and modernizing surface use agreements, expanding our water infrastructure and water rights, and unlocking additional royalty opportunities including sand development, consistent with the disciplined M&A approach we described at our IPO.”

Second Quarter Results

EagleRock generated normalized revenue of $46.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 32.3% versus the first quarter of 2026. The strong growth in revenue was underpinned by the continued success of the commercialization of our land and our active land management strategy.

Normalized Adjusted EBITDA was $36.2 million, an increase of 31.7% versus the first quarter of 2026, representing a Normalized Adjusted EBITDA margin of 77.5%, compared to 77.9% in the first quarter.

Diversified Revenue Streams

Resource Sales revenues were $28.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 68% of total revenue, and an increase of 48% versus the first quarter of 2026. On a normalized basis, resources sales revenues were $24.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 52% of Normalized Revenue, and an increase of 53.1% versus the first quarter of 2026. The increase in resource sales was driven primarily by an additional 7.0 MMBbls of brackish water sold from our ranches, together with higher caliche sales.

Surface Use Revenues were $5.9 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 14% of total revenue, and an increase of 84% versus the first quarter of 2026. On a normalized basis, surface use revenues were $7.1 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 15% of Normalized Revenue, and an increase of 74.3% versus the first quarter of 2026. The increase was driven primarily by heightened commercial activity across our lands, which generated additional surface damage and easement fees.

Surface Use Royalties revenues were $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 18% of total revenue, and an increase of 837% versus the first quarter of 2026. On a normalized basis, surface use royalties revenues were $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, or 33% of Normalized Revenue, and flat with the first quarter of 2026. The majority of surface use royalties continued to be driven by produced water takeaway and recycled water sales.

Free Cash Flow Generation

Free Cash Flow³ for the second quarter of 2026 was $22.2 million compared to $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2026. Free Cash Flow during the quarter was negatively impacted by $6.4 million of cash interest expense associated with the carrying cost of the Predecessor Company’s credit facility, which was repaid in full and terminated on June 3, 2026. Excluding the $6.4 million impact, second-quarter Free Cash Flow would have been $28.6 million, representing Free Cash Flow conversion of 96%.

IPO and Liquidity

The Company successfully completed an initial public offering on the NYSE and NYSE Texas on May 15, 2026, issuing 19.9 million Class A shares, including the full exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, at a price of $18.50 per share and raising approximately $368 million in gross proceeds.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had total liquidity of $261.8 million, comprised of $61.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $200 million of available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility.

2026 Outlook

For the full year 2026, the Company now expects Normalized EBITDA to exceed its original internal forecast and is expected to range from $129 million to $133 million.

Reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to comparable GAAP measures are not available due to the challenges and impracticability of estimating certain items, particularly non-recurring gains or losses, unusual or non-recurring items, income tax benefit or expense, or one-time transaction costs and cost of revenue. We are unable to reasonably predict these because they are uncertain and depend on various factors not yet known, which could have a material impact on GAAP results for the guidance period. Because of those challenges, a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures is not available without unreasonable effort.

Conference Call and Webcast Information

The Company will hold a conference call on August 11, 2026 at 10:00 am ET / 9:00 am CT to discuss second quarter results. A live webcast of the conference call will be available on the "Events & Presentations" section of the EagleRock Investor Relations website at https://ir.erok.com/events-and-presentations/default.aspx.

Comparison of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Margin are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that we use to evaluate current, past and expected future performance. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are important factors in assessing our operating results and cash flows, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or gross margin or any other measures of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used by our management and by external users of our Financial Statements, such as investors, research analysts and others, to assess the financial performance of our assets over the long term to generate sufficient cash to return capital to equity holders or service indebtedness. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) minus interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, depletion and accretion, which we refer to as “EBITDA” and from which we further deduct share-based compensation, non-recurring transaction-related expenses and other non-cash or non-recurring expenses. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful because they allow us and external users of our Financial Statements to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period, and against our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry, depending upon accounting methods, book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Our computations of these measures may differ from the computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Margin and Free Cash Flow Conversion are performance measures used by our management and by external users of our Financial Statements, such as investors, research analysts and others, to assess our ability to generate cash from operations to repay our indebtedness, return capital to our shareholders and fund potential acquisitions without access to external sources of financing for such purposes. To calculate Free Cash Flow, net income is adjusted by the same items discussed above for EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (other than interest expense and income tax expense / benefit) and then further adjusted for incurred capital expenditures, changes in accounts payable related to capital expenditures, non-cash interest expense, and non-cash tax expense. Free Cash Flow Margin is calculated as Free Cash Flow divided by total revenue. Free Cash Flow Conversion is calculated as Free Cash Flow divided by Adjusted EBITDA.

Management believes Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Margin and Free Cash Flow Conversion are useful because they allow for an effective evaluation of both our operating and financial performance, as well as the capital intensity of our business, and subsequently the ability of our operations to generate cash flow that is available to distribute to our shareholders, reduce leverage or support acquisition activities. Our computations of these measures may differ from the computations of similarly titled measures of other companies.

Normalized Revenue is used by our management and is useful to investors, research analysts and other external users of our Financial Statements to assess our operating performance on a basis that reflects our expected go-forward business following our initial public offering. Because our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 include only a partial period of operations as a public company and do not reflect the full effect of certain items that we expect to characterize our operations on a go-forward basis, we present Normalized Revenue to illustrate what our Revenue would approximate had these items been in effect for the full periods presented. We define Normalized Revenue as Revenue adjusted for normalizing adjustments, which consist of the addition of revenue from assets contributed in the corporate reorganization in connection with our initial public offering and the exclusion of revenue attributable to our predecessor that are not expected to recur on a go-forward basis.

Normalized Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used by our management and are useful to investors, research analysts and other external users of our Financial Statements to assess our operating performance on a basis that reflects our expected go-forward business following our initial public offering. Because our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 include only a partial period of operations as a public company and do not reflect the full effect of certain items that we expect to characterize our operations on a go-forward basis, we present Normalized Adjusted EBITDA to illustrate what our Adjusted EBITDA would approximate had these items been in effect for the full periods presented. We define Normalized Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA further adjusted for normalizing adjustments, which consist of the addition of revenue from assets contributed in the corporate reorganization in connection with our initial public offering; the exclusion of revenue attributable to our predecessor that are not expected to recur on a go-forward basis; operating costs associated with newly acquired surface acreage and assets from the Shallow Valley Contribution; amortization of RSU expense on a normalized basis; and other general and administrative expenses associated with operating as a public company. We define Normalized Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Normalized Adjusted EBITDA divided by Normalized Revenue.

Management believes Normalized Adjusted EBITDA and Normalized Adjusted EBITDA Margin are useful because they allow us and external users of our Financial Statements to evaluate the earnings profile we expect to result from operating as a public company over the whole period for which the measures are given, giving effect to items listed above. The normalizing adjustments reflect management's estimates of the annualized or go-forward effect of these items and are based on assumptions that management believes to be reasonable. These are not prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X or otherwise intended to represent pro forma financial information.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Free Cash Flow, and Free Cash Flow Margin for the periods indicated.
