Marshall Abbott, CEO of Arrow Exploration Corp., commented:
“The second quarter of 2026 has been very productive for Arrow, our best quarter yet. The discovery of the Icaco field has resulted in the beginning of a large development plan. The multi-formation discovery will result in additional reserves and drilling inventory for Arrow. We are excited by the Icaco discovery; it has become a major production platform with a material impact on the Company.”
“Arrow significantly increased revenue and EBITDA while sustaining increased production, which, along with a robust balance sheet, supports the ongoing capital program. The focus for the remainder of 2026 will be to drill additional wells at the Icaco pad, and numerous well recompletions to improve productivity in our currently most prolific fields.”

DISCUSSION OF OPERATING RESULTS
During Q2 2026, the Company’s production continued to increase due to additional volumes of oil crude production from the Mateguafa Attic and the new Icaco field in the Tapir block, offset by decreased production in other fields due to natural declines. This has allowed the Company to continue its healthy level of operating results and EBITDA.

DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Company realized prices of $89.65 and $76.95 per boe during the three months ended June 30, 2026 (2025: $53.33) due to overall increase in crude oil and natural gas prices during the first half of 2026, offset by decreases in natural gas prices.

(1)Non-IFRS measure
The operating netbacks of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 have improved due to the overall increase in crude oil prices, as well as increased production. The Company continues to develop alternatives to trucking water for disposal in order to improve operating costs. During Q2 2026, the Company incurred $7.6 million of capital expenditure, primarily in connection with the drilling of additional development wells in the Tapir block. This tempo is expected to continue during the remainder of 2026, funded by cash on hand and cashflow.

Non‐IFRS Measures
The Company uses non-IFRS measures to evaluate its performance which are measures not defined in IFRS. Working capital, funds flow from operations, realized prices, operating netback, adjusted EBITDA, and net debt as presented do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. The Company considers these measures as key measures to demonstrate its ability to generate the cash flow necessary to fund future growth through capital investment, and to repay its debt, as the case may be. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than net income (loss) or cash provided by operating activities or net loss and comprehensive loss as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company’s performance. The Company’s determination of these measures may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.
