First Quarter 2026 Operational and Financial Results:
- During the first quarter of 2026, the Company reported net income from continuing operations, attributable to equity holders of the Company, of
$13.1 million mainly resulting from an income from operations of$13.5 million and foreign exchange income of$6.8 million partially offset by finance expenses of$5.7 million and other loss of$2.5 million . This compares with net income from continuing operations, attributable to equity holders of the Company, in the first quarter of 2025, of$11.8 million , which included mainly an income from operations of$14.4 million and foreign exchange income of$2.5 million partially offset by finance expenses of$3.2 million and other loss of$2.4 million . - Total revenues and other income for the first quarter were
$26.8 million , compared with$26.9 million in the prior quarter and$25.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. Revenues during the quarter were mainly driven by a strong performance inPuerto Bahia , where the general cargo experienced a significant growth in handled volumes in roll-on/roll-off ("RORO") units and container, while operations at the Oleoducto de los Llanos ("ODL") remained strong. - Port revenues were
$12.7 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with$12.8 million in the prior quarter and$10.0 million in the first quarter of 2025.- General cargo handled at the Port Facility during the first quarter of 2026 comprised 38,067 units of RORO, break bulk volumes of 25,216 tons/m³ and container of 3,851 TEUs, compared with 38,727 units, 15,406 tons/m³ and 6,436 TEUs in the prior quarter, respectively, and 18,223 units, 41,198 tons/m³ and 1,256 TEUs in the first quarter of 2025, respectively.
- Liquid volumes handled in the Port Facility during the first quarter of 2026 were 36,937 bbl/d, compared with 40,548 bbl/d in the prior quarter and 51,579 bbl/d in the first quarter of 2025. In the first quarter the decline was mainly due to lower third-party liquid volumes, reflecting reduced throughput from key customers and the absence of certain trading flows.
- General cargo handled at the Port Facility during the first quarter of 2026 comprised 38,067 units of RORO, break bulk volumes of 25,216 tons/m³ and container of 3,851 TEUs, compared with 38,727 units, 15,406 tons/m³ and 6,436 TEUs in the prior quarter, respectively, and 18,223 units, 41,198 tons/m³ and 1,256 TEUs in the first quarter of 2025, respectively.
- Share of income from
ODL Pipeline Investment was$14 .2 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with$14 .1 million in the prior quarter and$15 .1 million in the first quarter of 2025, the result for the quarter was driven by higher depreciation and amortization expense and operating costs. - ODL volumes transported were 233,875 bbl/d in the first quarter of 2026, compared with 241,734 bbl/d in the prior quarter, and 236,387 bbl/d in the first quarter of 2025.
- Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2026 was
$28 .5 million, compared with$27 .7 million in the prior quarter and$27 .6 million in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher revenues during the quarter partially offset by higher operating costs. - ODL declared net dividends to Frontera of
$64.7 million for 2026 compared to$52.9 million in 2025, of which Frontera expects to receive distributions during 2026 comprising approximately 40% in the second quarter, 35% in the third quarter, and the remaining 25% in the fourth quarter. - Last twelve-months ("LTM") Infrastructure distributable cash flow ended
March 31, 2026 was$51 .1 million, compared with$76 .7 million for the twelve month period endedDecember 31, 2025 and$103 .0 million for the twelve month period endedMarch 31, 2025 . These differences are driven by the timing of ODL distribution payments between periods, which impacts LTM calculations, rather than by changes in underlying operating performance. Capital distributions paid or declared over the period remained relatively stable, totaling$60 .4 million in 2024,$61 .5 million in 2025 and$64 .7 million in 2026. For comparison purposes, an estimated LTM distributable cash flow for the period ending onApril 30, 2026 was$71.3 million . - Capital expenditures were
$1.0 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared with$2.0 million in the prior quarter and$2.1 million in the first quarter of 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, investments made inPuerto Bahia , including: (i)$0.4 million in major tank maintenance, (ii)$0.3 million in investment towards the LPG project, and (iii) general expenditures related to the cargo terminal facilities. - Long‑term debt at the end of the first quarter totaled
$167.8 million and is expected to decline to approximately$131 million , primarily as a result of scheduled amortizations and cash sweep mechanisms during 2026. FromMay 2025 throughDecember 2026 , long‑term debt is expected to be reduced by over$100 million , reflecting the strength of ODL's cash generation.

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company following completion of the Arrangement, the Return of Capital, the expected operation date of the
These forward-looking statements reflect the current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Company. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things: there can be no assurance that the Arrangement will be completed on the terms or within the timeframes currently contemplated or at all; the failure to obtain all necessary third-party and regulatory approvals to complete the Arrangement; and the risk that the Arrangement may be varied, accelerated or terminated in certain circumstances; volatility in market prices for oil and natural gas; the
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. Although the Company believes that the assumptions inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
This news release contains future oriented financial information and financial outlook information (collectively, "FOFI") (including, without limitation, statements regarding expected average production), and are subject to the same assumptions, risk factors, limitations and qualifications as set forth in the above paragraph. The FOFI has been prepared by management to provide an outlook of the Company's activities and results, and such information may not be appropriate for other purposes. The Company and management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management's reasonable estimates and judgments, however, actual results of operations of the Company and the resulting financial results may vary from the amounts set forth herein. Any FOFI speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any FOFI, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, unless required by applicable laws.
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This news release contains various "non-IFRS financial measures" (equivalent to "non-GAAP financial measures", as such term is defined in NI 52-112), "non-IFRS ratios" (equivalent to "non-GAAP ratios", as such term is defined in NI 52-112), "supplementary financial measures" (as such term is defined in NI 52-112) and "capital management measures" (as such term is defined in NI 52-112), which are described in further detail below. Such measures do not have standardized IFRS definitions. The Company's determination of these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from other reporting issuers and they are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Furthermore, these financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance or cash flows as prepared in accordance with IFRS. These financial measures do not replace or supersede any standardized measure under IFRS. Other companies in the Company's industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
The Company discloses these financial measures, together with measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, because management believes they provide useful information to investors and shareholders, as management uses them to evaluate the operating performance of the Company. These financial measures highlight trends in the Company's core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures. Further, management also uses non-IFRS measures to exclude the impact of certain expenses and income that management does not believe reflect the Company's underlying operating performance. The Company's management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period and to prepare annual operating budgets and as a measure of the Company's ability to finance its ongoing operations and obligations.
Set forth below is a description of the non-IFRS financial measures, non-IFRS ratios, supplementary financial measures and capital management measures used in this news release.
