Australis holds a material and scalable position within the high quality
and delineated core of the largely undeveloped Tuscaloosa Marine
Shale (TMS) which has been validated by recently announced
transactions
Significant Transactions Achieved4
Secured a Development Partner that is an established US listed
independent oil and gas company with a multi-billion dollar enterprise value
and active onshore development and exploration operations in multiple US
unconventional basins
Development Partner has the right to deploy up to US$46 million of
development capital for new wells in the TMS, carrying Australis for a 20%
working interest, to earn 80% working interest in Australis’s undeveloped
TMS Core acreage
Financing Transaction with EQV Group (“EQV”) whereby it acquired 90% of
Australis’ interest in producing wells for US$16.9 million before closing
adjustments
Operations and Financial Summary – 4th quarter 2025
Sales volume of 48,900 barrels (WI) (no change vs Q3 2025)
Lower WTI pricing (-12% vs Q3 2025) partially offset by hedge gains led to
lower sales revenue of $3.0 million (-9% vs Q3 2025)
Production expenses unchanged compared to previous reporting quarter but
four workovers in October led to higher total operating costs (+20% vs Q3
2025)
The combination of lower sales revenue and higher operating costs led to a
reduced Field Netback of US$0.4 million (-64% vs Q3 2025)
Macquarie Credit Facility was repaid in full from the proceeds of the EQV
Financing Transaction
Cash balance at quarter end of US$14.2 million (+330% vs Q3 2025) and
no Macquarie Facility debt (-100% vs Q3 2025)

TMS PRODUCTION AND OPERATING PERFORMANCE
During the previous quarter there were no workovers carried out, however during October 2025
Australis undertook four workovers (on the Mathis 29-32H-01, Ash 13H – 02, Stewart 30H – 1 and
Reese 16H – 1) with the wells restarting production by the end of October. The successful workover
campaign was accomplished at a cost ~30% below cumulative AFEs.
The total workover count for 2025 was seven wells, with total costs significantly below budget which
is further testimony to the excellent work undertaken in design, execution and operation of the
producing wells by the production team.
Despite the wells shut in ahead of the workover program, sales volumes were effectively unchanged
quarter-on-quarter although lower WTI pricing led to reduced revenues and this, together with the
incremental workover costs, were the primary contributors to reduced Field Netback and Adjusted
EBITDA this quarter.

FINANCE AND CORPORATE
Cash and Capital
Results for the quarter include:
• Sales Revenue (WI) (after hedges) of US$3.0 million, 9% lower than the previous period due
to lower realised WTI pricing;
• The Company’s cash position was improved by the receipt of a US$1 million option fee from
the Development Partner on execution of the Development Transaction and US$15.6 million
after closing adjustments from the sale to EQV;
• Field Netback reduced by 64% compared to the previous quarter to US$0.4 million, primarily
due to lower revenue and the workover costs incurred during the quarter, but also included
an inventory adjustment relating to the disposal of 90% of Australis’ interest to EQV on 30
December 2025; and
• Australis fully repaid the Macquarie Credit Facility in the quarter and has a cash balance of
US$14.2 million at the end of the quarter.
Credit Facility
Operational cash flow during the reporting quarter paid for interest costs and the monthly Facility C
amortisation payment under the Macquarie Credit Facility in October and November. On 30
December 2025, the outstanding Facility A and C loans, plus unpaid accrued interest for December,
was fully repaid from the proceeds of the EQV Financing Transaction. At the same time Macquarie
Bank released their security over Australis assets and bank accounts.
Oil Price Hedging
During the reporting quarter Australis realised a modest hedge gain of US$0.12 million compared to
a gain of US$0.01 million in the previous quarter primarily due to the average realised WTI oil price
being $7.93/bbl (12%) lower in Q4.
Following the close of the EQV Financing Transaction and repayment of the outstanding Macquarie
Facility loans Australis also took the opportunity to close out all outstanding swap hedges that were in
place either as part of the Facility C arrangements or those based on the production profile prior to
the EQV divestment. In total Australis closed out 24,300 bbls of swaps at various prices, which
generated a payment to Australis of US$76,000 after costs.
Australis has retained existing collar hedges of 1,000 bbls/month for January to April 2026 having a
floor price of US$60/bbl WTI, which equates to approximately 60% of our expected reduced WI
production during this period. Australis will continue to review its hedge program and position from
time to time, including when the Development Partner elects to drill new wells as part of the
contemplated carry program.
The table below summarises the protected WTI floor prices and the ceiling prices for all hedged
volumes on future production at the end of the reporting quarter.

TMS Lease Position
Australis has continued to manage its lease position in a disciplined fashion, whilst being cognisant of
cash reserves and working capital obligations. During this reporting period Australis extended 1,190
net acres for one year that were due to expire and, following execution of the Development Agreement
with the Development Partner, a further 1,990 net acres were similarly extended.
As at 31 December 2025 Australis holds ~47,200 net acres in the TMS Core, of which ~39,900 net
acres (85%) are HBP.
Australis is working with the Development Partner to deploy the US$1 million secured as part of the
Development Agreement for an initial lease program4
, which can be used for both direct leasing and
lease options.
Figure 1 below provides more detail on the expiry profile of the TMS Core acreage position as at 31
December 2025. Figure 2 (see “About Australis” section below) provides a map of the Australis
acreage position.

Business Development and Corporate Strategy
In the quarter, Australis successfully completed two transactions4
to achieve a number of corporate
objectives that management have sought to address for some time.
Partnered in the TMS with an established and aligned US-listed independent oil and gas
company with onshore development and exploration operations in multiple unconventional
basins.
The application of up to US$46 million of development capital for new wells in the TMS from the
Development Partner (“Carry Program”), including funding Australis for a 20% working interest
in that program, in order to earn an 80% working interest in undeveloped HBP acreage and
Term leasehold of approximately 46,100 net acres.
Australis and the Development Partner have formed an Area of Mutual Interest (“AMI”) within
the TMS Core area, allowing Australis to participate at a 20% working interest in leasing activity
and rebuild its position within the target area following a successful earn-in by the Development
Partner. The Development Partner to carry Australis for its 20% working interest for the initial
US$1 million of leasing within the AMI.
Australis has monetised 90% of its working interest in the TMS producing well inventory through
the sale to EQV, allowing the repayment of all outstanding Macquarie Facility indebtedness and
increasing the cash balance to US$14.2 million.
Australis is therefore funded to participate in the Development Partner leasing program, is
carried on a work program of up to US$46 million and has capacity to fund its working interest
in future wells when the Carry Program is completed.
The Development Partnering Transaction was executed on 25 November 2025 and included an up-
front payment of US$1 million to Australis in addition to the US$1 million initial leasing program
commitment. For more details on the deal terms please refer to the relevant announcement4
. Since
execution Australis has been working with both the subsurface and land departments of the
Development Partner on planning and preparation for the Carry Program.
The EQV Financing Transaction was closed on 30 December 2025 (see separate announcement5
).
EQV assumed field production operatorship from Australis and acquired 90% of the Australis working
interest in all Australis operated wells. Australis will provide transition services to EQV for the next
60 – 90 days, during which it will continue to manage the various aspects of operations and
administration for a fee.
YEAR END 2025 RESERVES AND RESOURCE UPDATE
Australis is pleased to provide its Year End 2025 (“YE2025”) reserve and resource update as
independently assessed by Ryder Scott Company, L.P (“Ryder Scott”) with an effective date of 31
December 20251
and detailed in the report issued on 29 January 2026.
The EQV Financing Transaction closed on the 30 December 2025 and so the YE2025 reserve and
resource estimates are based on Australis having divested 90% of its interests in the operated
producing well inventory.
As there remains some uncertainty on development activity timing Australis has continued to assess
reserves for the producing assets only, with the undeveloped position being considered a contingent
resource. As the Development Partner only earns an 80% interest in the Australis undeveloped
acreage when the Carry Program is complete, the contingent resource estimates in the YE2025 report
reflect 100% of the Australis acreage at the report effective date.

Assumptions
Key assumptions used by Ryder Scott to generate the YE2025 estimates are as follows:
Reserves and contingent resources estimates are calculated using deterministic methodologies.
The oil price used for all reserves analysis in this report is a flat realised $67.53/bbl, which is
based on the average achieved price by Australis on the first day of the trailing 12 months of
2025.
Operating costs for developed producing wells are based on the average of actuals incurred
between December 2024 and November 2025.
The existing PDP estimates are based on production from 42 well (28 operated and 14 non-
operated wells – 2.8 net wells).
The existing PDNP estimates are based on projected production from 4 operated wells and 2
non-operated wells (0.4 net wells).
The 1P, 2P and 3P figures provided are the arithmetic summation by category and are
referenced to the individual well oil metering at each producing well location.
The 1C, 2C and 3C figures provided are the arithmetic summation by category
Contingent resources are estimated for areas outside of a producing well location. The 1C
contingent resources are limited to any development unit (usually 1920 gross acres) that
contains an existing TMS well which would have been considered as reserves had the
development plan included such locations within the five-year development window. The 2C
and 3C considered all the remaining undeveloped net acreage within the core area but used
different estimates of in-place volumes and recovery factors.
No gas sales are assumed in the reserve estimates as all gas is presently consumed on the
lease, however projected gas volumes are included in the contingent resource estimates which
includes an allocation to existing production and undeveloped acreage.

Contributors to the adjustments shown in the above table are discussed below.
During 2025 Australis produced 166 Mbbls of net production
As operator Australis scheduled workovers with associated costs and production improvements,
the impact of which have been removed with non-operator status.
Technical adjustments, both positive and negative, were applied to most of the wells by Ryder
Scott in the YE2025 reserve estimate. The Lawson 25H-1 and Sabine wells had larger
reductions applied.
Lower oil prices of US$67.53 (2025) vs US $77.74 (2024) reducing economic cut off
projections.
Australis sold 90% of its working interest to EQV.
The other changes were not material.

There were only very minor changes (+/- 1-2%) to the contingent resource estimates.
All subsurface assumptions on in place volumes and recovery factors remained identical for
both the YE2024 and the YE2025 resource estimates.
All undeveloped acreage was evaluated for contingent resource based on the decision not to
consider a development plan.
There were some minor adjustments in gross acreage assumptions in the contingent resource
estimates for 2025.
The net acreage position decreased by 800 acres during 2025.

ABOUT AUSTRALIS
Australis (ASX: ATS) is an ASX listed oil and gas company seeking to provide shareholders value
and growth through the strategic development of its quality onshore oil and gas assets in the
United States of America. The Company was formed by the founder and key executives of Aurora
Oil & Gas Limited, a team with a demonstrated track record of creating and realising shareholder
value.
With approximately 47,200 net acres (85% HBP) within the production delineated core of the
proven oil producing TMS, Australis retains significant upside potential with approximately 160 net
future drilling locations.
At year end 2025 Ryder Scott independently assessed the Australis acreage held at that time with
62 MMbbls of 2P + 2C recoverable volume including 165 Mbbls 2P producing reserves providing
net field cash flow1,3
. The contingent oil resource is only contingent on a qualifying development
program and Australis will carry out a reassessment of its undeveloped reserve position when a
program is agreed with our partner
TMS Assets & Background
The map shown in Figure 2 is a representation of the acreage position that Australis holds within
the TMS Core.
Figure 2 : Location of Australis acreage and TMS wells
The Tuscaloosa Marine Shale is a Cretaceous shallow marine unconventional shale that is present
across central Louisiana and southwest Mississippi. The play is the same geological age as the Eagle
Ford Shale in South Texas and the Woodbine Shale in East Texas.
The play is relatively deep, high pressured and oil weighted. As experienced in most unconventional
plays, early results (2010 – 2014) demonstrated variable production performance and relatively high
QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT | 4th Quarter 2025
ANNUAL RESERVES REPORT | 2025

well costs, driven by initial operational difficulties encountered whilst drilling and completing the
wells. The activity that did take place delineated a core area of the play where production results
were consistent and comparable to other, far more developed, unconventional plays such as the
Eagle Ford and the Permian. This area is shown in the blue oblong in Figure 2 and represents
Australis’ interpretation of the TMS Core.
The comparison of the 2014 production results from the core of the TMS (the 15 wells drilled in the
Australis TMS core leasehold area in 2014 and which comprise the TMS Type Curve) with the three
type curves generated by Ryder Scott for the YE 2020 reserve report is shown in Figure 3 below.
To qualify as a reserve Ryder Scott must assess a future location as economic and the YE 2020
reserve report was evaluated assuming a flat oil price of US$47.02/bbl7
. Note the YE 2023 Reserve
Report1
did not assess undeveloped reserves as any assessment is dependent on a drilling plan for
the next 5 years. Australis made the decision to defer the assessment until a partner is introduced
and a development plan is determined.
Figure 3 : Average oil production of ATS 2014 TMS wells vs Ryder Scott Proved, Probably and Possible Type Curves
and performance of the full length laterals drilled by Australis in 2018
The 2014 fall in commodity price generated the opportunity for the two low cost acquisitions by
Australis in the TMS and for an ongoing cost-effective and strategic leasing program where longer
lease life is targeted together with improved commercial terms. Australis has remained very
disciplined and focused only within the production delineated TMS Core.
The appraisal activity by Encana and other participants in the TMS during 2013/2014 also addressed
many of the operational challenges that were initially experienced. Costs and performance
repeatability were improving, and activity levels were increasing during 2014 until evolution in the

play was interrupted by the oil price drop in late 2014. As a direct result, Australis is the only
company to have drilled new wells in the play since the beginning of 2015 other than in the last
quarter of 2021, when State Line Exploration successfully drilled and cased their first well in the play.
Consequently, none of the numerous industry improvements that have continued to drive forward the
economics of other unconventional plays have yet been applied to the TMS. The production results
of the full length laterals drilled by Australis in 20186
are also shown above on Figure 3.
