CEO Commentary
"2025 was a year of exceptional operational execution for EOG. We exceeded our original oil and total volume targets, capital expenditures were on target, and we continued driving down both well costs and cash operating costs. Our differentiated marketing strategy delivered peer-leading U.S. price realizations, further strengthening margins.

Operational excellence drove outstanding financial results and peer-leading cash returns to shareholders. We generated $4.7 billion in free cash flow and returned 100% to shareholders through our sustainable, growing regular dividend, which increased 8%, and $2.5 billion in share repurchases. Since initiating buybacks in 2023, we've reduced our share count by approximately 10%. Our robust cash generation and pristine balance sheet position EOG to deliver shareholder value through industry cycles.

2025 was also a year of transformational transactions with the strategic Encino acquisition and our entry into exciting international exploration opportunities in the UAE and Bahrain. EOG's differentiated portfolio has never been stronger. Looking ahead, we have a disciplined plan for 2026 targeting $4.5 billion in free cash flow using the midpoints of guidance at current strip pricing. Our strategy prioritizes activity in the Delaware Basin, Utica and Eagle Ford while increasing activity in Dorado alongside continued international investment. EOG's relentless focus on returns, our diverse multi-basin portfolio and industry-leading exploration capabilities provide clear visibility to sustain high returns and robust free cash flow generation for years to come."

Return of Capital
The Board of Directors today declared a dividend of $1.02 per share on EOG's common stock. The dividend will be payable April 30, 2026, to stockholders of record as of April 16, 2026. The indicated annual rate is $4.08 per share.

During the fourth quarter, the company repurchased 6.3 million shares for $675 million under its share repurchase authorization, at an average purchase price of $107 per share.

For full-year 2025, the company repurchased 21.7 million shares for $2.5 billion under its share repurchase authorization, at an average purchase price of $115 per share. At December 31, 2025, EOG had $3.3 billion remaining on its current repurchase authorization.

2025 Reserves
Total proved reserves increased 16% in 2025 to 5.5 Billion Boe. Extensions and discoveries added 336 MMBoe of proved reserves in 2025. Revisions other than price increased proved reserves by 65 MMBoe. Net proved reserve additions from all sources, excluding price revisions, replaced 254% of 2025 total production.

2026 Capital Program
Total expenditures for 2026 are expected to range from $6.3 to $6.7 billion, including exploration and development drilling, facilities, leasehold acquisitions, capitalized interest, dry hole costs, and other property, plant and equipment, and excluding property acquisitions, asset retirement costs and non-cash exchanges and transactions. The capital program also excludes certain exploration costs incurred as operating expenses.

The plan holds 4Q 2025 oil production flat through 2026. Under the 2026 program, total oil production growth is 5% and total production growth is 13% year-over-year, inclusive of the Encino acquisition. EOG plans to complete 585 net wells in 2026 across our domestic multi-basin portfolio of high-return inventory.

The 2026 program targets low single-digit percentage average well cost reduction, benefiting from increasing lateral lengths and other sustainable efficiency gains. We expect higher overall activity in the Utica and Dorado, as well as continued advancement of exploration prospects in the UAE and Bahrain.

Historical Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
Reconciliation schedules and definitions for the historical non-GAAP financial measures included or referenced herein as well as related discussion can be found on the EOG website at www.eogresources.com.

Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures:
In addition, this press release and any accompanying disclosures may include or reference certain forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures, such as free cash flow, cash flow provided by operating activities before changes in working capital and return on capital employed, and certain related estimates regarding future performance, commodity prices and operating and financial results. Because we provide these measures on a forward-looking basis, we cannot reliably or reasonably predict certain of the necessary components of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, such as future changes in working capital and future impairments. Accordingly, we are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures to the respective most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our ultimate results. However, management believes these forward-looking, Non-GAAP measures may be a useful tool for the investment community in comparing EOG's forecasted financial performance to the forecasted financial performance of other companies in the industry. Any such forward-looking measures and estimates are intended to be illustrative only and are not intended to reflect the results that EOG will necessarily achieve for the period(s) presented; EOG's actual results may differ materially from such measures and estimates.

Oil and Gas Reserves:
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose not only "proved" reserves (i.e., quantities of oil and gas that are estimated to be recoverable with a high degree of confidence), but also "probable" reserves (i.e., quantities of oil and gas that are as likely as not to be recovered) as well as "possible" reserves (i.e., additional quantities of oil and gas that might be recovered, but with a lower probability than probable reserves). Statements of reserves are only estimates and may not correspond to the ultimate quantities of oil and gas recovered. Any reserve or resource estimates provided in this press release or any accompanying disclosures that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include "potential" reserves, "resource potential" and/or other estimated reserves or estimated resources not necessarily calculated in accordance with, or contemplated by, the SEC's latest reserve reporting guidelines. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in EOG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (and any updates to such disclosure set forth in EOG's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K), available from EOG at P.O. Box 4362, Houston, Texas 77210-4362 (Attn: Investor Relations). You can also obtain this report from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330 or from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
