Samoth Oilfield ( (TSE:LCX) ) has provided an update.

Lycos Energy reported a sharp year-over-year decline in 2025 petroleum and natural gas sales and adjusted funds flow, driven largely by lower production following significant asset sales. Average annual production fell 29% to 3,167 boe/d, while net income swung to a loss of $49.6 million, reflecting substantial non-cash losses on dispositions and impairment charges.

In the fourth quarter, Lycos completed the $60 million sale of assets in the Lindbergh, Moose Lake and Fishing Lake areas, plus a smaller Elnora property sale, reducing volumes but improving its cost structure and eliminating net debt. The company applied part of the proceeds to debt repayment and returned $47.9 million, or $0.90 per share, to shareholders as a capital distribution, exiting 2025 with positive adjusted working capital and lower exposure to higher-cost assets.

The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:LCX) stock is a Hold with a C$1.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Samoth Oilfield stock, see the TSE:LCX Stock Forecast page.
