Baytex Energy ( (TSE:BTE) ) has shared an update.
On December 19, 2025, Baytex Energy closed the previously announced sale of its U.S. Eagle Ford assets to an undisclosed buyer for US$2.14 billion in cash, leaving the company in a net cash position. Using a portion of the proceeds, Baytex repaid its outstanding credit facilities, redeemed all of its 8.500% Senior Notes due 2030 and, as of December 22, 2025, completed the early tender portion of its cash tender offer for its 7.375% Senior Notes due 2032, purchasing and cancelling about US$480.7 million of those notes; it also put in place an updated US$750 million covenant-based credit facility with an extended maturity to June 2030. The company expects to classify its Eagle Ford operations as discontinued in upcoming 2025 results and to record a loss on disposition of approximately $250–$350 million and a deferred tax expense of about $140 million, signaling a significant balance-sheet de‑leveraging and strategic exit from the Eagle Ford that reshapes its financial profile and capital structure for stakeholders.
