VAALCO Energy Inc. (NYSE: EGY, LSE: EGY) reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings on August 7, 2025, showcasing robust financial performance that exceeded analyst expectations. The company's net income for the quarter stood at $8.4 million, translating to $0.08 per diluted share, which surpassed the analyst estimate of $0.02 per share. Revenue for the period reached $96.9 million, exceeding the estimated $92.24 million.

Key highlights from the quarter include the production of 16,956 net revenue interest barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD), which surpassed the high end of the company's guidance. The company also sold 19,393 NRI BOEPD, above the high end of its guidance. Despite lower realized pricing, these achievements underscore VAALCO Energy Inc.'s strategic initiatives, including planned drilling campaigns and asset development.

George Maxwell, the company's Chief Executive Officer, commented on the quarter's performance, stating, "We continue to consistently deliver successful quarterly results that either meet or exceed our guidance. Both our sales and NRI production for the second quarter of 2025 were above the high end of guidance, leading to solid net income of $0.08 per diluted share and Adjusted EBITDAX of $49.9 million."

Operational updates highlight the company's efforts in various regions. In Gabon, Vaalco secured a drilling rig for its 2025/2026 drilling program, which is expected to begin near the end of Q3 2025. The company is also preparing for a drilling campaign in Egypt, with six wells completed during the quarter. In Canada, the company deferred drilling additional wells to reduce capital expenditures.

Financial updates show that Vaalco's adjusted EBITDAX totaled $49.9 million in Q2 2025, a 12% decrease from $57.0 million in Q1 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lower realized pricing offset by higher sales volumes and lower production expense. The company's net cash position was $7.9 million, not including approximately $24.0 million of cash receivables collected in July 2025.

Vaalco's strategic initiatives and operational efficiency are expected to drive future growth, positioning the company well for the remainder of the decade.
