Decimus Oil Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial & Operating Results, Directors' Loan & Debt Settlement

Quarterly operational update highlighting improved netbacks against persistent balance sheet strain.

Executive Summary
  • Decimus Oil reported Q1 2026 financial and operating results, highlighting an 11% quarter-over-quarter revenue increase to $593,423 and a more than doubling of operating netbacks to $5.76/boe.
  • Average daily production stood at 165 boe/d (43% oil/NGLs), with total capital expenditures decreasing 78% to $35,190 and cash flow from operating activities at $83,854.
  • The Company announced a $59,128 shares-for-debt settlement with arm's-length creditors by issuing 540,329 common shares at a deemed price of $0.10/share, subject to TSXV approval and carrying a statutory hold.
  • A $126,184 unsecured demand loan was secured from four directors at 10% interest to fund mandatory Alberta Energy Regulator closure and reclamation spending.
  • Working capital debt increased to $1,598,638, and the company reported a net loss of $272,627 with an adjusted funds flow deficit of ($84,326).
Material Impact
  • The operational improvements (higher netback, lower capex) are positive but incremental and expected for a mature, low-decline asset base.
  • The debt settlement introduces dilution, and the directors' loan, while providing immediate liquidity for regulatory compliance, carries a high 10% interest rate with no maturity date, signaling underlying cash flow weakness.
  • The termination of the Bantry acquisition and the related financing in February 2026 means the company is operating solely on its existing ~165 boe/d base, making these quarterly results a baseline rather than a growth catalyst.
  • Overall, the news is routine quarterly reporting that highlights operational discipline but underscores persistent financial strain and reliance on insider funding.
