Production Outperformance and Stabilization
Full-year 2025 production averaged 28,233 barrels of oil equivalent per day, above the upper end of guidance; Q4 2025 averaged 28,351 boe/d. Management reported an earlier-than-anticipated production inflection and stabilization in Colombia and Argentina, with Vaca Muerta contributing fresh production ahead of plan.
Adjusted EBITDA and Financial Returns
Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 reached USD 277 million (within guidance). The company delivered a 2.8x adjusted EBITDA-to-CapEx ratio and an 18% ROACE, signaling disciplined, returns-focused capital allocation.
Cost and Efficiency Improvements
Operating costs averaged USD 13.4 per barrel and G&A averaged USD 4.8 per barrel for 2025 (within guidance). Management achieved USD 32 million in structural cash savings in 2025, with an expected annualized run rate of approximately USD 45 million in 2026 (an increase of ~41% from the 2025 savings level).
Strong Balance Sheet and Active Liability Management
Cash exceeded USD 100 million at year-end and net leverage closed at 1.6x with no material debt maturities until 2027. The company repurchased over USD 100 million of 2030 notes below par, capturing a USD 10 million gain and approximately USD 9.5 million in annual interest savings.
Hedging and Cash Flow Protection
Over 84% of 2026 production is hedged via 3-way collars, and hedging has already started for 2027 production, providing significant near-term cash-flow protection despite lower realized prices.
Strategic Portfolio Moves — Argentina (Vaca Muerta)
Closed acquisition of Loma Jarillosa Este and Puesto Silva Oeste (Vaca Muerta); production already online and development underway with a clear path to a 20,000 boe/d plateau by 2028. Operational ramp-up underway: drilling mobilization (5-well pad), planned fracs (~220 fracs) and target Vaca Muerta exit rate of 5,000–6,000 boe/d for 2026.
Transformational Proposal in Colombia — Frontera Transaction
Announced agreement to acquire Frontera Energy's Colombian upstream assets (January 2026). The transaction more than doubles GeoPark's resource base and implies pro forma production of approximately 40,000 boe/d net to GeoPark; management estimates pro forma production could exceed 90,000 boe/d by 2028 and adjusted EBITDA of ~USD 950 million, materially increasing scale and cash-flow durability.
Operational Advances — Enhanced Oil Recovery Pilot
Launched polymer injection project in Llanos 34 in December with 2 initial wells (2 more planned in April) and additional wells planned later in 2026. Simulations indicate potential incremental recovery in injected areas between ~3% (pessimistic) and ~7% (optimistic), with an average expectation of ~5% recovery uplift.
Corporate Actions — Dividend and Governance
Board declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.03 per share and reiterated that shareholder distributions will be reassessed after free cash flow normalizes following peak investments in Vaca Muerta. Management also secured key Colombian antitrust approval (SIC) for the Frontera transaction, a major regulatory milestone.
