July 10, 2025, 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 Q2 2025. Such results consolidate the acquisition of Petronas E&P Argentina S.A. (“PEPASA”, currently Vista Energy LACh S.A.), and therefore a 50% interest in La Amarga Chica block, as of April 1, 2025.

Q2 2025 highlights:

 

 

Total production in Q2 2025 was 118,018 boe/d, an 81% increase compared to Q2 2024, and a 46% increase compared to Q1 2025. Oil production in Q2 2025 was 102,197 bbl/d, a 79% increase y-o-y, and a 47% increase q-o-q.

 

 

In Q2 2025, the average realized crude oil price was 62.2 $/bbl, a 13% decrease compared to Q2 2024 and a 9% decrease compared to the average realized crude oil price in Q1 2025. Lower realization prices were driven by a lower Brent price, which during Q2 2025 was on average 21% lower compared to Q2 2024. During Q2 2025, 100% of oil sales were at export parity prices.

 

 

The realized natural gas price for Q2 2025 was 2.8 $/MMBtu, a 27% decrease y-o-y, driven by lower prices both in the domestic and export markets.

 

 

Total revenues in Q2 2025 were 610.5 $MM, 54% above Q2 2024, driven by production increase in our operated blocks and the consolidation of 50% working interest in La Amarga Chica. Net revenues during the quarter were 593.0 $MM. Net revenues from oil and gas exports were 345.0 $MM, representing 58% of total net revenues.

 

 

Lifting cost in Q2 2025 was 4.7 $/boe, 4% above Q2 2024 and sequentially flat, reflecting the Company’s focus on cost control.

 

   

Selling expenses in Q2 2025 were 3.8 $/boe, a sequential decline of 41%, driven by the reduction of trucking volumes to zero, as the Oldelval Duplicar pipeline became online by the end of Q1 2025.

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2025 was 404.5 $MM, 40% above Q2 2024 and 47% more than Q1 2025, mainly driven by production increase in our operated blocks and the consolidation of 50% working interest in La Amarga Chica, and partially offset by lower realized oil prices. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 66%, or 4 p.p. above Q1 2025, mainly driven by lower selling expenses.

 

 

Net Income during Q2 2025 totaled 235.3 $MM, a 184% increase q-o-q and a 68% increase y-o-y. The sequential increase was mainly driven by higher Adj. EBITDA, other effects for 101.8 $MM mainly related to the PEPASA acquisition, partially offset by higher Depreciation, depletion and amortization. EPS was 2.26 $/share in Q2 2025, compared to 0.86 $/share in Q1 2025 and 1.44 $/share in Q2 2024.

 

 

Capex during Q2 2025 was 356.1 $MM. The Company invested 207.9 $MM in drilling, completion and workover of Vaca Muerta operated wells (mainly in connection with the drilling of 18 wells and the completion of 12 wells), 106.1 $MM in the development of La Amarga Chica (mainly in connection with the drilling of 6 net wells and the completion of 12 net wells at a 50% working interest), 27.2 $MM in development facilities in the operated blocks, and 15.0 $MM in G&G studies, IT and other projects.

 

 

In Q2 2025, the Company recorded a negative free cash flow of 1,356.2 $MM. Cash flow from operating activities was negative at 9.4 $MM, mainly reflecting income tax payments of 215.0 $MM, an increase in working capital of 58.5 $MM, restructuring and reorganization expenses of 23.7 $MM and advanced payments for midstream expansion of 18.1 $MM. Cash flow used in investing activities reached 1,346.8 $MM for Q2 2025, reflecting accrued capex of 356.1 $MM, an increase in capex-related working capital of 139.8 $MM and the acquisition of PEPASA (net of cash) for 841.6 $MM. Cash flow from financing activities totaled 770.3 $MM, mainly driven by proceeds from borrowings of 1,378.6 $MM, partially offset by the repayment of borrowings’ capital of 514.2 $MM.(1)

 

(1)

Q2 2025 Cash flow from financing activities is the sum of: (i) cash flow generated by financing activities for 769.0 $MM; (ii) effect of exposure to changes in the foreign currency rate of cash and cash equivalents and other financial results for 0.8 $MM; and (iii) the variation in Argentine government bonds for 0.5 $MM.

Adj. EBITDA Margin = Adj. EBITDA / (Total revenues + Gain from Exports Increase Program). Gain from Exports Increase Program is zero as of Q2-25. Adj. EBITDA Margin for Q2-25 (66%) = Adj. EBITDA (404.5 $MM) / (Total revenues (610.5 $MM) + Gain from Exports Increase Program (0 $MM)).

Adjusted EBITDA was 404.5 $MM in Q2 2025, a 47% increase compared to 275.4 $MM in Q1 2025, mainly driven by production increase from the consolidation of 50% working interest in La Amarga Chica, the elimination of trucked oil volume, and partially offset by lower realized oil prices. On an interannual basis, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 40% in Q2 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA margin was 66%, 4 p.p. above Q1 2025, as the elimination of trucked volumes offset the lower realized oil prices, and 4 p.p. below Q2 2024.

Net Income

Net Income in Q2 2025 was 235.3 $MM, a 184% increase q-o-q and a 68% increase y-o-y. The sequential increase was mainly driven by (a) higher Adjusted EBITDA of 404.5 $MM in Q2 2025 compared to 275.4 $MM in Q1 2025, (b) other effects for 101.8 $MM mainly related to the PEPASA acquisition, partially offset by (c) higher Depreciation, depletion and amortization for 176.9 $MM in Q2 2025 compared to 126.0 $MM in Q1 2025, (d) higher Income tax expense of 58.5 $MM in Q2 2025 compared to 52.2 $MM in Q1 2025, and (e) higher other net Financial expense of 27.0 $MM in Q2 2025 compared to 7.2 $MM in Q1 2025.

Financial overview

During Q2 2025, Vista maintained a solid balance sheet with strong liquidity. Cash position at the end of the quarter of 153.8 $MM. Cash flow from operating activities was negative at 9.4 $MM, reflecting income tax payments of 215.0 $MM, an increase in working capital of 58.5 $MM, restructuring and reorganization expenses of 23.7 $MM and advanced payments for midstream expansion of 18.1 $MM. Cash flow used in investing activities reached 1,346.8 $MM for the quarter, reflecting accrued capex of 356.1 $MM, an increase in capex-related working capital of 139.8 $MM and the acquisition of PEPASA (net of cash) for 841.6 $MM.

In Q2 2025, cash flow from financing activities totaled 770.3 $MM, mainly driven by proceeds from borrowings of 1,378.6 $MM, partially offset by the repayment of borrowings’ capital of 514.2 $MM. (1)

Gross debt totaled 2,598.6 $MM as of quarter end, resulting in a net debt of 2,444.8 $MM. At the end of Q2 2025, net leverage ratio was 1.38x on a pro forma basis (i.e., as if PEPASA had been acquired on January 1, 2024) and 1.93x on a non-pro forma basis, compared to 0.84x by quarter end Q1 2025. (2)

 

(1)

Q2 2025 Cash flow from financing activities is the sum of: (i) cash flow generated by financing activities for 769.0 $MM; (ii) effect of exposure to changes in the foreign currency rate of cash and cash equivalents and other financial results for 0.8 $MM; and (iii) the variation in Argentine government bonds for 0.5 $MM.

(2)

Pro forma values calculated as if PEPASA had been acquired on January 1, 2024. Pro forma Net Leverage Ratio (1.38x) = (Gross financial debt (2,599 $MM) – Cash, bank balances and other short-term investments (154 $MM)) / Pro forma LTM Adj. EBITDA (1,766 $MM).

Additional information about Vista Energy, S.A.B. de C.V., a sociedad anónima bursátil de capital variable organized under the laws of Mexico (the “Company” or “Vista”) can be found in the “Investors” section on the website at www.vistaenergy.com.

This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy any securities of the Company, in any jurisdiction. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Mexican National Securities Registry held by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (“CNBV”) or an exemption from such registrations.

This presentation does not contain all the Company’s financial information. As a result, investors should read this presentation in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and other financial information available on the Company’s website. Some of the amounts contained herein are unaudited.

Rounding amounts and percentages: Certain amounts and percentages included in this presentation have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this presentation have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures, but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, certain percentage amounts in this presentation may vary from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in the financial statements. In addition, certain other amounts that appear in this presentation may not sum due to rounding.

This presentation contains certain metrics that do not have standardized meanings or standard methods of calculation and therefore such measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. Such metrics have been included herein to provide readers with additional measures to evaluate the Company’s performance; however, such measures are not reliable indicators of future performance of the Company and future results may not be comparable to past performance.

No reliance should be placed for any purpose whatsoever on the information contained in this document or on its completeness. Certain information contained in this document has been obtained from published sources, which may not have been independently verified or audited. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is given or will be given by or on behalf of the Company, or any of its affiliates (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, “Affiliates”), members, directors, officers or employees or any other person (the “Related Parties”) as to the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information or opinions contained in this presentation or any other material discussed verbally, and any reliance you place on them will be at your sole risk. Any opinions presented herein are based on general information gathered at the time of writing and are subject to change without notice. In addition, no responsibility, obligation or liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) is or will be accepted by the Company or any of its Related Parties in relation to such information or opinions or any other matter in connection with this presentation or its contents or otherwise arising in connection therewith.

This presentation also includes certain non-IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) financial measures which have not been subject to a financial audit for any period. The information and opinions contained in this presentation are provided as of the date of this presentation and are subject to verification, completion and change without notice.

This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” concerning the future. The 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 – including any anticipated performance and guidance of Vista included in this document – 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, guidances 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 operate; 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 and the United States; uncertainties relating to the administration that took office in Mexico in October 2024; changes in laws, rules, regulations and their interpretation and enforcement 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; any future 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, in Argentina, Mexico and globally; the effects of a pandemic or epidemic and any subsequent mandatory regulatory restrictions or containment measures; environmental, health and safety regulations and industry standards that are becoming more stringent; energy markets, including the timing and extent of changes and volatility in commodity prices, and the impact of any protracted or material reduction in oil prices from historical averages; our relationship with our employees and our ability to retain key members of our senior management and key technical employees; the ability of our directors and officers to identify an adequate number of potential acquisition opportunities; our expectations with respect to the performance of our recently acquired businesses; our expectations for future production, costs and crude oil prices used in our projections; changes to our capital expenditure plans; uncertainties inherent in making estimates of our oil and gas reserves, including recently discovered oil and gas reserves, and changes to our previous reserves estimates; increased market competition in the energy sectors in Argentina and Mexico; potential regulatory changes and modifications to free trade agreements driven by evolving U.S. trade policies and political developments in Argentina and Mexico; climate change and severe weather events; any potential adverse effects that may arise in connection with any prospective mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or other corporate reorganizations; adverse global macroeconomic environments, including trade wars, high inflation, a global recession, and increasing market volatility, especially in relation to commodities prices; and ongoing and potential geopolitical conflicts, including, among others, those involving Russia and Ukraine; Israel, Hamas and Iran; and China and Taiwan.

Accordingly, you should not put undue reliance on these statements. This presentation is not intended to constitute and should not be construed as investment advice.
