Topaz's 2026 guidance estimates include 23,500 to 23,900 boe/d(4) royalty production and $92.0 to $94.0 million annual processing revenue and other income.(3)(13) Based on estimated commodity pricing,(11) Topaz expects to exit 2026 with net debt(1) between $420.0 and $425.0 million.(3)(13) Topaz's royalty guidance range purposefully remains flexible to allow for adjustments by operators in response to supply/demand and commodity price factors in the WCSB and is based on Topaz's internal estimates regarding operators' 2026 development pace and performance and therefore could be revised in response to changes in operator plans.
2025 Reserves
2025 total proved plus probable developed reserves of 65.7 mmboe(7) increased 10% from 2024 (59.5 mmboe), driven by 50% and 10% year over year growth in Clearwater and NEBC Montney reserves, respectively.(8) These core areas together represent 56% of Topaz's 2025 total reserves,(7) and the associated RLIs have increased over the past two years by approximately 2.0 times for Clearwater and 1.3 times for NEBC Montney.(9) In 2025, 50% of the gross wells spud across Topaz's royalty acreage were in the Clearwater and NEBC Montney, Topaz's high-growth royalty areas. Together, these areas have generated 23% production growth over the past two years.
Since inception, Topaz has acquired cumulative developed reserves of 53.7 mmboe; 37.6 mmboe of which has been produced to date, and Topaz holds 65.7 mmboe of developed reserves as at December 31, 2025.(10) As a royalty entity not responsible for capital, Topaz does not report future undeveloped reserves. Topaz's 6-year history (1.3 times average annual reserve replacement)(7) demonstrates that the Company's royalty acquisitions provide both developed and undeveloped future economic value, despite the limitations in reserve reporting.(14)
Fourth Quarter 2025 UpdateFinancial Overview
Q4 2025 cash flow of $80.6 million and a 92% free cash flow (FCF) Margin,(1) provided $79.7 million of FCF.(1) Q4 2025 cash flow and FCF,(1) each $0.52 per diluted share,(2) increased 6% and 11%, respectively from Q4 2024.
Generated Q4 2025 royalty production revenue of $62.5 million ($29.02 per boe), representing 72% of Topaz's total revenue, with 28% ($24.2 million) contributed by infrastructure assets' processing revenue and other income.
Topaz's Q4 2025 net income of $32.7 million was 64% higher than Q4 2024 driven by 15% higher royalty production, 10% higher processing revenue and other income, 4% lower cash expenses, a 47% higher realized hedging gain and a lower unrealized loss on financial instruments.
During 2025, Topaz realized a $19.8 million hedging gain ($15.1 million or $0.44 per mcf gain on natural gas contracts). Based on Topaz's 2026 midpoint royalty production guidance, approximately 22% of natural gas is hedged at a weighted average fixed price of C$3.18 per mcf and 12% of total liquids is hedged at a weighted average fixed price of US$67.68/bbl.(18)
Topaz paid a Q4 2025 dividend of $0.34 per share ($52.4 million), which represents a 65% payout ratio(1) and a 5.1% trailing annualized yield to the fourth quarter average share price.(16)
Generated $27.3 million of Excess FCF(1) during Q4 2025 which was allocated to debt repayment and acquisition growth. Topaz completed $10.2 million of acquisitions during the fourth quarter.
Topaz exited 2025 with $517.5 million of net debt,(1) representing 1.5x net debt to annualized Q4 2025 EBITDA.(1) As at February 24, 2026, Topaz has approximately $0.5 billion of available credit capacity(17) which provides financial flexibility for strategic growth opportunities.
Royalty Activity
Q4 2025 royalty production averaged 23,399 boe/d,(4) 15% higher than Q4 2024. Topaz's total oil and liquids royalty production of 6,889 bbl/d achieved another record in Q4 2025.(4)
Fourth quarter drilling activity (190 gross wells spud)(15) was diversified across Topaz's portfolio as follows: 47 Clearwater, 36 NEBC Montney, 54 Deep Basin, 18 Peace River, 6 Central Alberta, 1 AB Montney and 28 SE Saskatchewan/Manitoba. In total, 248 gross wells(15) were brought on production during Q4 2025 (7% increase over 231 gross wells brought on production during Q4 2024).
Based on planned operator drilling activity, Topaz expects that the current 27-30 active drilling rigs on its royalty acreage will be maintained through the first quarter of 2026.(3)
Infrastructure Activity
During Q4 2025, Topaz generated $24.2 million in processing revenue and other income which was 10% higher than Q4 2024. In Q4 2025, Topaz incurred $1.0 million in operating expenses resulting in a 96% operating margin.(1) During the quarter, the infrastructure assets generated 99% utilization and Topaz incurred $0.9 million in maintenance-related capital expenditures (before capitalized G&A).

Dividend Overview
Topaz's Board has declared the first quarter 2026 dividend at $0.34 per share which is expected to be paid on March 31, 2026, to shareholders of record on March 13, 2026. The quarterly cash dividend is designated as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes.
Topaz has paid $6.62 per share in dividends to its shareholderrs since the inaugural dividend during the first quarter of 2020 to December 31, 2025. The unique sustainability of Topaz's 2026e dividend down to $0.01 per mcf natural gas and US$55.00 per bbl crude oil(3) is attributable to: (i) the Company's high-margin, stable infrastructure revenue which represents 44% of the 2026e dividend;(3) (ii) hedging strategy and financial derivative contracts in place;(18) and (iii) the quality and strength of Topaz's diversified asset portfolio.
