HOUSTON, Nov. 5, 2025 – APA Corporation (Nasdaq: APA) today announced its financial and operating results for the third quarter of 2025.
APA reported net income attributable to common stock of $205 million, or $0.57 per diluted share.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.5 billion, and adjusted EBITDAX was $1.3 billion.
“Our strong third-quarter results demonstrate our continued focus on operational execution, disciplined cost management, and the delivery of our strategic priorities,” said John J.

Third-quarter summary
Third-quarter reported production was 464,000 BOE per day and adjusted production, which excludes Egypt noncontrolling interest and tax barrels, was 387,000 BOE per day. U.S. oil production was 121,000 barrels per day, exceeding guidance on strong operational execution. Egypt production was also ahead of guidance, driven by the continued outperformance of natural gas well productivity and the optimization of existing infrastructure.
Upstream capital investment and lease operating expense (LOE) were below guidance, while G&A expense was in line with guidance. The company generated $339 million of free cash flow, returning $154 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.
During the third quarter, APA reduced its net debt by approximately $430 million, driven by a combination of free cash flow generation and payments from Egypt. The company has reduced its net debt by nearly $2.3 billion since the third quarter of 2024, with a current net debt balance of roughly $4.0 billion.
Accelerated delivery of cost reduction initiatives and increased targets
With the continued momentum from its cost reduction initiatives, APA is once again accelerating and increasing its cost savings targets. The company now expects to achieve run-rate savings of $350 million by the end of 2025, two years sooner than originally anticipated. APA expects to recognize an additional $50 million to $100 million of run-rate savings by the end of 2026, spanning across development capital, LOE, and G&A.
The company is also increasing its anticipated realized savings target in 2025 to $300 million, compared to $200 million previously, driven by additional progress made on reducing drilling and completion (D&C) costs in the Permian and LOE in the North Sea.
“The accelerated delivery of our cost reduction initiatives reflects our organization’s commitment to continuous improvement,” Christmann said. “We have now established a sustainably lower cost structure, improving the quality of our investment opportunities while strengthening the resiliency of our portfolio.”

In Egypt, gross gas production is also expected to grow at a higher rate than previously anticipated. APA’s upstream capital investment in the fourth quarter is expected to be approximately $440 million, consistent with the company’s prior guidance issued in the second quarter.

Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goals,” “guidance,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “possibly,” “potential,” “projects,” “prospects,” “schedule,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar references to future periods, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future plans, expectations, and objectives for operations, including statements about our capital plans, drilling plans, maintenance plans, production expectations, and run-rate and realized savings. While forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to differ materially from our expectations. See “Risk Factors” in APA’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for a discussion of risk factors that affect our business. Any forward-looking statement made in this news release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.

Cautionary note to investors
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable, and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. APA may use certain terms in this news release, such as “resources,” “potential resources,” “resource potential,” “estimated net reserves,” “recoverable reserves,” and other similar terms that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit APA from including in filings with the SEC. Such terms do not take into account the certainty of resource recovery, which is contingent on exploration success, technical improvements in drilling access, commerciality, and other factors, and are therefore not indicative of expected future resource recovery and should not be relied upon. Investors are urged to consider carefully the disclosure in APA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2024, available from APA at www.apacorp.com or by writing APA at: 2000 W. Sam Houston Pkwy S, Ste. 200, Houston, TX 77042 (Attn: Corporate Secretary). You can also obtain this report from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330 or from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Reconciliation of Costs incurred to Upstream capital investment
Management believes the presentation of upstream capital investments is useful for investors to assess APA’s expenditures related to our upstream capital activity. We define capital investments as costs incurred for oil and gas activities, adjusted to exclude property and leasehold acquisitions, asset retirement additions and revisions, capitalized interest, and certain exploration expenses. Upstream capital expenditures attributable to a one-third noncontrolling interest in Egypt are also excluded. Management believes this provides a more accurate reflection of APA’s cash expenditures related to upstream capital activity and is consistent with how we plan our capital budget.

Reconciliation of Net cash provided by operating activities to Cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities and Free cash flow
Cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. APA uses these measures internally and provides this information because management believes it is useful in evaluating the company’s ability to generate cash to internally fund exploration and development activities, fund dividend programs, and service debt, as well as to compare our results from period to period. We believe these measures are also used by research analysts and investors to value and compare oil and gas exploration and production companies and are frequently included in published research reports when providing investment recommendations. Cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities and free cash flow are additional measures of liquidity but are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities. Additionally, this presentation of free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies in our industry.

Reconciliation of Net cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted EBITDAX
Management believes EBITDAX, or earnings before income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation, amortization and exploration expense is a widely accepted financial indicator, and useful for investors, to assess a company’s ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and make distributions to shareholders. We define adjusted EBITDAX, a non-GAAP financial measure, as EBITDAX adjusted for certain items presented in the accompanying reconciliation. Management uses adjusted EBITDAX to evaluate our ability to fund our capital expenditures, debt services and other operational requirements and to compare our results from period to period by eliminating the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company’s on-going operations. Management also believes adjusted EBITDAX facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing EBITDAX from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain operating expenses that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.

Reconciliation of Income attributable to common stock to Adjusted earnings
Our presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures because they exclude the effect of certain items included in Income Attributable to Common Stock. Management believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share provides relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing the Company’s operational trends and comparability of results to our peers.
Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share to evaluate our operating and financial performance because it eliminates the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company’s on-going business operations. As a performance measure, adjusted earnings may be useful to investors in facilitating comparisons to others in the Company’s industry because certain items can vary substantially in the oil and gas industry from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and asset sales and other divestitures, among other factors. Management believes excluding these items facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing the underlying operating and financial performance of our business from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense and income items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.
