Vaalco Energy, Inc. reported a hedging- and exploration-driven Q1 2026 net loss while advancing key international drilling and FPSO projects, divesting Canadian assets, upsizing its credit facility, raising 2026 volume guidance, and maintaining its quarterly dividend.

On May 7, 2026, Vaalco Energy, Inc. reported its first quarter 2026 financial and operational results, highlighting a net loss of $93.8 million driven largely by $70.6 million of derivative losses and elevated exploration expense, alongside significant capital spending of $78.1 million to advance its Gabon Phase Three drilling program and Côte d’Ivoire FPSO refurbishment. The company announced successful new development wells ET-15H and ET-14H at the Etame field in Gabon, confirmed operatorship with a 60% working interest in the Kossipo field on Block CI-40 in Côte d’Ivoire, and completed the divestiture of all Canadian properties for approximately $25.5 million on February 19, 2026. Vaalco increased its full-year 2026 production and sales guidance without raising its capital budget, expanded its reserves-based lending facility from $190 million to $300 million with additional Q1 2026 borrowings of $92 million, and maintained its shareholder return program by declaring a $0.0625 per share quarterly dividend payable June 26, 2026, while indicating expectations for stronger financial performance in the second quarter and second half of 2026 as Côte d’Ivoire production resumes and Gabon liftings normalize.
