Financial Performance Overview
While the Company’s detailed earnings data is outlined in the supplemental release, Crescent’s fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 performance reflects its ongoing commitment to disciplined capital allocation, operational excellence, and the generation of sustainable cash flow. The Company continues to demonstrate the ability to maintain a balanced portfolio of production and development assets, delivering both short-term cash flow stability and long-term growth potential.
Crescent’s portfolio structure, which combines long-life producing assets with a significant inventory of development opportunities, allows the Company to optimize returns under various commodity price environments. By prioritizing high-quality, low-decline assets in premier basins and focusing on operational efficiencies, Crescent has been able to produce consistent cash flows while maintaining flexibility in its capital program. This disciplined approach positions the Company to navigate market volatility effectively and to allocate capital toward the highest-return opportunities, whether through development, acquisitions, or shareholder returns.
Operational Highlights
Crescent Energy operates a diversified portfolio of assets across the Eagle Ford, Permian, and Uinta Basins, three of the most prolific and strategically important oil and natural gas regions in the United States. The Company’s operations in these basins are characterized by a combination of high-quality reserves, strong production performance, and a large, low-risk development inventory. These assets are complemented by Crescent’s ownership of minerals and royalty interests in key U.S. oil and gas basins, which provide additional exposure to production without the associated operational costs or capital requirements of full-field operations.
In particular, the Company’s Eagle Ford operations represent a core focus area, with Crescent strategically positioned to benefit from both ongoing development activity and royalty income from producing wells operated by leading, well-capitalized companies. The Company’s Permian and Uinta Basin assets further diversify its production base, providing both geographical and operational flexibility, which is critical in optimizing production efficiency, mitigating basin-specific risks, and achieving consistent cash flow generation.
Crescent’s approach to production and development is rooted in a disciplined, returns-driven framework. Capital allocation decisions are guided by rigorous financial metrics, including expected returns on investment, payback periods, and overall contribution to cash flow. This methodology ensures that capital is deployed in a manner that maximizes long-term shareholder value while minimizing operational and financial risk.
Growth Strategy and Acquisition Focus
A key element of Crescent’s long-term strategy is its targeted acquisition program. The Company actively evaluates opportunities to acquire high-quality assets that complement its existing portfolio, focusing on properties that enhance scale, provide attractive development upside, and offer stable, predictable cash flow. By leveraging its technical expertise, operational experience, and financial strength, Crescent seeks to identify assets that provide both immediate returns and long-term growth potential.
Crescent’s acquisition strategy is further reinforced by its disciplined approach to capital management. The Company maintains a conservative balance sheet and carefully considers financing options for acquisitions, ensuring that any transaction is accretive to shareholders and consistent with its overarching strategy of value creation. This prudence allows Crescent to remain flexible and opportunistic in a dynamic energy market, positioning the Company to capitalize on favorable acquisition opportunities as they arise.
Commitment to Shareholder Returns
In addition to disciplined growth through development and acquisitions, Crescent Energy places a strong emphasis on returning capital to shareholders. The Company has a demonstrated track record of distributing capital efficiently, whether through dividends, share repurchases, or other mechanisms that enhance shareholder value. This focus on returns underscores Crescent’s commitment to aligning management incentives with shareholder interests and delivering tangible, consistent value over time.
By combining a focus on stable, cash-generating assets with a high-quality development inventory, Crescent is well-positioned to maintain both growth and distributions, even amid market volatility. The Company’s operational discipline, cost-conscious culture, and strategic asset positioning collectively enable Crescent to deliver strong returns while managing risk effectively.
Sustainability and Long-Term Vision
While Crescent is fundamentally an energy production company, it also recognizes the importance of sustainability and responsible resource management. The Company is committed to optimizing production in a safe, environmentally responsible manner, reducing operational emissions, and maintaining rigorous standards for environmental, health, and safety performance. This approach not only mitigates operational risks but also supports Crescent’s long-term strategy of building a resilient, future-ready energy business.
Crescent’s long-term vision is to continue evolving as a differentiated energy company that balances growth, capital efficiency, and shareholder returns. By focusing on premier assets, maintaining operational excellence, and pursuing disciplined acquisition opportunities, Crescent seeks to strengthen its leadership position in the U.S. oil and natural gas industry while delivering sustainable value for its shareholders.
