APA reported net income attributable to common stock of $747 million, or $2.11 per diluted share. When adjusted for certain items that impact the comparability of results, APA s second-quarter earnings totaled $669 million, or $1.89 per diluted share.1APA CORPORATION ANNOUNCES SECOND-QUARTER 2026FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS PAGE 2 of 6Second-quarter summarySecond-quarter reported production was 410,000 BOE per day, and adjusted production was 347,000 BOE per day, both exceeding guidance. U.S. oil production averaged 123,500 barrels per day, 2,500 barrels per day above guidance, reflecting continued drilling and completion efficiency gains and strong base production performance in the Permian Basin.In Egypt, adjusted production averaged 61,000 BOE per day and was in line with guidance. Gross production averaged 207,000 BOE per day. Gross gas production increased to 539 million cubic feet (MMCF) per day, supported by continued execution of the company s gas-focused development program. Nearly half of Egypt s gas production is now benefiting from the revised pricing agreement.Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.7 billion, and adjusted EBITDAX was $1.8 billion. Upstream capital investment was $546 million, and lease operating expense was $353 million, both below guidance. Free cash flow totaled $738 million, bringing total free cash flow generation to $1.2 billion for the first half of the year.Balance sheet and shareholder returnsAPA repaid $752 million of near-term bond debt during the first half of 2026, including $673 million in the second quarter. The company has reduced total debt by $2.3 billion since year-end 2024, lowering annualized interest expense by more than $155 million. Net debt was $3.3 billion at the end of the second quarter.APA returned $189 million to shareholders during the second quarter through dividends and share repurchases, including the repurchase of 2.8 million shares at an average price of $35.26 per share cumulative returns to shareholders during the first half of the year totaled $277 million. Consistent with prior years, the company expects to return at least 60% of free cash flow to shareholders in 2026 while also strengthening the balance sheet.CEO commentary We delivered a very strong second quarter, with excellent operational execution across our core assets, said John J. Christmann IV, APA s CEO. We re sustaining top-tier operational performance and driving stronger production, lower costs and lower capital intensity. These results reflect the structural improvements we ve made over the past two years to become a cost leader and drive higher capital efficiency across the Permian and Egypt. APA is in a great position with a strengthening balance sheet, a highly capital-efficient base business, a clear path to organic oil production growth led by GranMorgu and multiple high-quality investment opportunities in exploration. APA CORPORATION ANNOUNCES SECOND-QUARTER 2026FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS PAGE 3 of 6Exploration portfolio updateAPA previously announced an agreement to acquire Savant Alaska, LLC for $70 million in upfront consideration prior to customary closing adjustments, plus additional contingent payments tied to future development of APA s eastern North Slope position. The acquisition secures ownership of key midstream, pipeline and field infrastructure adjacent to APA s existing acreage and is expected to enhance development flexibility, accelerate project timelines, and lower future development costs. It also enhances APA s ability to appraise and potentially develop discoveries across its broader eastern North Slope position. Closing is expected by year-end 2026, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.In Uruguay, APA signed an agreement with Eni S.p.A as a strategic partner in offshore Block 6. APA will retain a 60% working interest, with Eni funding most of the initial exploration well planned for 2027. We continued to advance one of the industry's most differentiated exploration portfolios, said Christmann. The pending Savant acquisition in Alaska will secure critical infrastructure adjacent to our position and increase flexibility as we evaluate next steps. In Uruguay, we re pleased to welcome Eni as a strategic partner in OFF-6. Cost reduction initiatives updateCost reduction initiatives continued to build momentum during the quarter. APA now expects to exit 2026 with approximately $500 million of run-rate savings, an increase from the company's prior $450 million target. This improvement results from continued strong execution across the portfolio, including field-level operating efficiencies, well cost reductions, and ongoing corporate streamlining, all of which are lowering the company's underlying cost structure.Full-year guidance updateFor full-year 2026, APA is raising its U.S. oil production outlook to 123,000 barrels of oil per day while maintaining U.S. capital at $1.3 billion. Total company upstream capital investment is expected to be $2.07 billion, reflecting slightly lower exploration spend due to a shift in timing of Suriname Block 58 exploration activity. Lease operating expenses guidance has been lowered by $25 million to $1.5 billion, reflecting ongoing cost savings.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as anticipates, intends, plans, seeks, believes, continues, could, estimates, expects, goals, guidance, may, might, outlook, possibly, potential, projects, prospects, should, upside, will, would, and similar references to future periods, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future plans, expectations, and objectives for operations, including statements about our capital plans, drilling plans, production expectations, asset acquisitions (including the pending Savant acquisition and the expected closing thereof and benefits therefrom), monetizations, debt reductions, capital returns, and interest and other cost savings. While forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to differ materially from our expectations. See Risk Factors in APA s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for a discussion of risk factors that affect our business.

APA may use certain terms in this news release, such as resources, potential resources, resource potential, estimated net reserves, recoverable reserves, and other similar terms that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit APA from including in filings with the SEC. Such terms do not take into account the certainty of resource recovery, which is contingent on exploration success, technical improvements in drilling access, commerciality, and other factors, and are therefore not indicative of expected future resource recovery and should not be relied upon.

We define capital investments as costs incurred for oil and gas activities, adjusted to exclude property and leasehold acquisitions, asset retirement additions and revisions, capitalized interest, and certain exploration expenses. Upstream capital expenditures attributable to a one-third noncontrolling interest in Egypt are also excluded. Management believes this provides a more accurate reflection of APA s cash expenditures related to upstream capital activity and is consistent with how we plan our capital budget.

APA uses these measures internally and provides this information because management believes it is useful in evaluating the company s ability to generate cash to internally fund exploration and development activities, fund dividend programs, and service debt, as well as to compare our results from period to period. We believe these measures are also used by research analysts and investors to value and compare oil and gas exploration and production companies and are frequently included in published research reports when providing investment recommendations. Cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities and free cash flow are additional measures of liquidity but are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities. Additionally, this presentation of free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies in our industry.

We define adjusted EBITDAX, a non-GAAP financial measure, as EBITDAX adjusted for certain items presented in the accompanying reconciliation. Management uses adjusted EBITDAX to evaluate our ability to fund our capital expenditures, debt services and other operational requirements and to compare our results from period to period by eliminating the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company s on-going operations. Management also believes adjusted EBITDAX facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing EBITDAX from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain operating expenses that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.

Management believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share provides relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing the Company s operational trends and comparability of results to our peers.Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share to evaluate our operating and financial performance because it eliminates the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company s on-going business operations. As a performance measure, adjusted earnings may be useful to investors in facilitating comparisons to others in the Company s industry because certain items can vary substantially in the oil and gas industry from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and asset sales and other divestitures, among other factors. Management believes excluding these items facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing the underlying operating and financial performance of our business from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense and income items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.
