In a chairman’s letter to shareholders dated December 30, 2025, Kolibri Global Energy reported another year of strong growth, noting that its 2024 drilling program drove a 24% increase in production and a 13% rise in net operating income, while 2025 saw third-quarter production up 40% year-on-year and year-end production expected to reach record levels with netbacks among the highest in its peer group. Since restarting drilling in 2021, the company said annual production through the end of 2024 has risen more than 250%, adjusted EBITDA more than 550%, and proved developed reserves 158% to over 9 million barrels of oil equivalent, supporting a borrowing base increase on its credit facility from US$17 million in 2021 to US$65 million and enabling share repurchases of more than 580,000 shares, while its NASDAQ listing in October 2023 and Russell 2000 inclusion in June 2025 have raised its market profile; the board highlighted continued emphasis on governance, preparation of an inaugural sustainability report, and plans to fund the 2026 drilling program largely from internal cash flow while keeping leverage below 1.0x EBITDA and continuing its share buyback program, underscoring a strategy centered on disciplined growth and returning capital to shareholders.
