Recorded Net Income for the Period of $11.7 Million

Adjusted EBITDA Increased 16% year over year to $34.8 million

Frontera Improves Performance and Unlocks Growth Across its Infrastructure Portfolio

LNG Project Start-Up on Track for February 2027 

LPG Phase II Sanctioned as LPG Volumes More Than Triple Quarter over Quarter

CALGARY, AB, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Frontera Energy Corporation (TSX: FEC) (OTCQX: FECCF) ("Frontera" or the "Company") today reported financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. All financial amounts in this news release and in the Company's financial disclosures are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Gabriel de Alba, Chairman of the Board of Directors, commented:

"Frontera's results show an infrastructure platform that is delivering improved financial performance and higher cash flow as value is unlocked from its very valuable high growth assets. The third quarter shows the strength of Frontera's infrastructure model, with an Adjusted EBITDA growth of 16% year over year. ODL continues to provide a stable stream of cash distributions, and Puerto Bahia is consolidating its position as a strategic energy and logistics hub on Colombia's Caribbean coast. Frontera has significant opportunities for growth and long-term value creation.

Looking at near-term value catalysts, the LNG project, underpinned by a take-or-pay agreement with Ecopetrol, is on track to start operations in February 2027. It positions the Company to help address Colombia's growing natural gas supply deficit and opens the door to incremental third-party demand.

The Company also sanctioned the Phase II of the LPG project, with operations targeted to start in 2028. As these near-term projects advance, the Company is also assessing additional opportunities, including the dry cargo segment, where further growth beyond the current capacity is expected, and gas-fired power generation anchored by the LNG project. The Company continues to evaluate organic growth opportunities to realize the terminal's upside.  Together, all these initiatives give Frontera a clear path to increase EBITDA and grow cash flows, all while investing in a high value asset base with long term contracts while preserving a conservative balance sheet."

Orlando Cabrales Segovia, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Frontera, commented:

"We delivered a solid third quarter, with Adjusted EBITDA of $34.8 million, a 16% increase over the same quarter last year, and net income of $11.7 million. At Puerto Bahia, revenues reached $15.6 million, led by our general cargo terminal, where RoRo units handled grew 37% and break bulk volumes grew 62% year over year. We also signed new take-or-pay agreements to handle higher diesel and fuel oil imports. At ODL, volumes increased to approximately 242,000 barrels per day, contributing $17.2 million of equity income during the quarter.

On the LNG project, we continue to execute according to plan, and the project is now 71% complete. During the quarter we advanced the jetty modifications, the civil works for the connection to the gas pipeline system and the acquisition of the mooring systems. We are focused on executing safely and on schedule for Ecopetrol. Additionally, we will soon launch an open process to identify incremental third-party LNG volumes.

As we move forward, Frontera infrastructure continues to execute in its significant growth opportunities expected to enhance asset value and cash flow generation."

Third Quarter of 2026 Operational and Financial Summary*:

Third Quarter of 2026 Financial Results:

• Total revenues and other income for the third quarter were $33.0 million, compared with $31.3 million in the prior quarter and $27.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. Revenues during the quarter were $15.8 million, driven by stable operations at Puerto Bahia, compared to $14.6 million in the second quarter 2026, while operations at ODL remained strong during the quarter with Share of Income from ODL Pipeline Investment (equity method) of $17.2 million compared to $16.6 million in the previous quarter.
  
  
• Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2026 was $34.8 million, compared with $30.5 million in the prior quarter and $30.1 million in the third quarter of 2025 representing 16% increase in a year over year basis. Adjusted EBITDA was driven by a strong performance from the dry port at Puerto Bahia and higher volumes handled at ODL.
  
  
• The Company recorded a net income, attributable to equity holders of the Company, from continuing operations of $11.7 million ($0.17/share) in the third quarter of 2026, compared with a net loss, attributable to equity holders of the Company, from continuing operations of $4.0 million, ($(0.06)/share) in the prior quarter, and a net income, attributable to equity holders of the Company, from continuing operations of $17.6 million ($0.24/share) in the third quarter of 2025.
  
  
• Capital Expenditures were $19.5 million for the third quarter 2026, compared with $7.8 million in the prior quarter, and $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. During the quarter, investment in Puerto Bahia included: (i) $17.7 million in the LNG project, mainly related to modifications to the jetty, including civil works required for its connection to the gas pipeline system, access platforms and other equipment to support the operations of the FSRU as well as the acquisition of mooring and balcony systems, and (ii) $1.8 million in other Puerto Bahia investments, including toward the LPG project, cargo terminal facilities and software licenses.
  
  
• Last twelve-months infrastructure distributable cash flow ended September 30, 2026, was $87.0 million, compared with $78.8 million for the period ended June 30, 2026 and $77.9 million for the period ended September 30, 2025. These differences are driven by the increase of $1.3 million in EBITDA from Puerto Bahia in the last 12 months and the timing of ODL distribution payments between periods, which impacts LTM calculations, rather than by changes in underlying operating performance.
  
  
• At September 30, 2026, Frontera had cash and cash equivalents of $83.9 million, total debt and lease liabilities of $191.1 million and net debt of $107.2 million.

Infrastructure Business

ODL Pipeline Investment (35% equity ownership)

Frontera owns a 35% equity investment in the ODL pipeline, which connects Rubiales, Quifa, Caño Sur, Llanos-34, and other blocks to the Monterrey and Cusiana Stations in the department of Casanare, Colombia. Frontera receives a stable inflow of dividends and cash distributions from its 35% investment. Since 2024, Frontera received the following cash distributions from the ODL pipeline:

ODL is a key midstream infrastructure asset in Colombia, transporting approximately 30% of the country's oil production and serving the Llanos basin, which holds roughly 70% of Colombia's proven crude oil reserves. Supported by its strategic location, established operating track record and strong cash flow profile, ODL represents a very high-quality infrastructure asset with a strong market position and the potential to capture additional revenue opportunities within its area of influence.

Puerto Bahia (99.97% equity ownership)

Frontera owns a 99.97% equity interest in Sociedad Portuaria Puerto Bahía S.A. ("Puerto Bahia"), a strategically located multi-purpose maritime and logistics terminal in Cartagena, Colombia, adjacent to the Bocachica access channel in Cartagena Bay.

Puerto Bahia consists of two terminals: a liquid bulk terminal for handling clean products and crude oil, storage and dispatch and a general cargo terminal for dry cargo storage including containers, RoRo and high and heavy cargo, livestock, metals and steel. Existing facilities at the liquid bulk terminal and dry cargo terminal offer deep-water capability with a natural depth of approximately 20.5 metres, which makes Puerto Bahia the only multi-purpose terminal in Colombia capable of receiving Panamax ships (large cargo vessels) and Suezmax tankers (liquid purpose vessels) simultaneously.

The liquid bulk terminal has an operational capacity of 2.4 MMbbl, distributed amongst eight storage tanks with blending functionalities, each of which has a nominal capacity of 334,000 barrels. Four of the eight tanks have the ability to store heavy fuel oil, crude oil and have heating capabilities between 30ºC to 60ºC, and the remaining four tanks store crude oil and crude oil products.

The terminal includes:

-    a barge platform with four berths;
-    a tanker truck station, connected to the storage tanks, with eight loading and unloading stations; and
-    a liquid jetty with two docking positions for vessels of up to 1.2 million barrels.

The terminal can add two more tanks, which would raise nominal capacity above 600,000 barrels.

The general cargo terminal has a 290 metres long and 44 metres wide berthing platform with the possibility to expand up to 515mts supported on mooring dolphins. The general cargo facilities covers 24 hectares (59 acres) with covered and uncovered storage capacity and cargo-handling equipment. Puerto Bahía plays a leading role in the Caribbean Roll-on/ Roll Off ("RoRo") market, after having consolidated the operation and positioned the Port Facility as a market leader, taking over 95% of the Caribbean RoRo market. 

Container traffic is one of the largest growth opportunities for Puerto Bahía's general cargo terminal, whose existing infrastructure can already handle approximately 42,000 TEUs per year. The port is well placed to expand its container and general cargo capacity as demand rises. Its strategic location in Cartagena Bay and its freehold land give it the flexibility to develop further.

Puerto Bahia also benefits from several near-term growth projects expected to enhance asset value and cash flow generation, including through liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG") import facilities and the liquefied natural gas ("LNG") project.

LNG Project Update

Puerto Bahía entered into a take-or-pay agreement with Ecopetrol S.A. ("Ecopetrol"), pursuant to which Puerto Bahía will provide integrated logistics and LNG regasification services in Cartagena, Colombia. The agreement is to be developed in two phases, with initial regasification of 126 MMcfd starting in February 2027, increasing to 300 MMcfd after the first two years.

In order to fulfill the contract and satisfy additional demand needs, Puerto Bahía entered into a contract with Excelerate Energy ("Excelerate"), one of the world's largest Floating Storage and Regasification Unit ("FSRU") providers and operators, for the lease of a FSRU and the provision of related operations and maintenance ("O&M") services. The agreement provides Puerto Bahía with access to an FSRU with LNG regasification capacity of ~500 MMcfd in February 2027 for an initial term of seven years, extendable for an additional five to eight years. The agreement contemplates the redeployment of the FSRU Express. In response to the ongoing conflict in the Arabian Gulf, Excelerate expects to utilize other FSRU in its portfolio to serve the terminal in the near term. This approach assures the project enters in time in 2027.

The estimated cost of the project is between $80 and $100 million, The Company continues to advance in the execution of the project, which is currently 71% complete. Operations are expected to begin in February 2027. The take-or-pay agreement with Ecopetrol represents a committed, offtake volume intended to underwrite the FSRU lease contract.

The LNG Project is expected to benefit from Puerto Bahía's existing port infrastructure and operating platform, including repurposing the Reficar connection for natural gas, which support an accelerated development timeline and faster time to market.

In connection with the LNG project, the Company will launch an open process to identify incremental third-party volumes, capitalizing on Colombia's growing natural gas supply deficit, weather-related supply pressures associated with El Niño conditions, and the additional regasification capacity of the FSRU.

LPG Project Volumes Tripled Advancing to Phase II

In the third quarter, LPG volumes more than triple quarter over quarter with 13,792 tons of throughput during the period. The Company continues to make meaningful progress on the project, including the successful start of operations in March 2026, which provides handling capacity of up to 10,000 tons per month. The Company advances to Phase II and awarded the engineering, procurement and construction ("EPC") contract for a 29,500 tons Refrigerated LPG Storage facility, with the objective of starting operations in 2028.

Business Expansion Opportunities:

General Cargo Terminal: The Company continues to evaluate organic growth opportunities to realize the terminal's upside potential and strengthen its position in the dry cargo segment, including containerized and non-containerized cargo.

Gas-Fired Power Project: Frontera is evaluating an entry into power generation anchored by the LNG project, including the potential development of a 150-300 MW thermal power plant. Supported by available expansion land, the project is in evaluation phase and remains subject to securing firm energy obligations, required regulatory approvals (including from the Unidad de Planeación Minero Energética (UPME)), environmental permits, and sufficient long-term commercial arrangements, including take-or-pay commitments, to support a final investment decision.

ODL Pipeline Investment (35% equity interest)

During the third quarter of 2026, ODL recognized $17.2 million of net income (net to Frontera) The result was driven by higher pipeline transportation revenues and variances in mark to market of risk management contracts.

In March 2026, ODL declared net dividends to Frontera Pipeline Investments Ltda ("FPI") of $64.7 million, additionally in June 2026 ODL declared a return of capital of $5.2 million. Year to date, the Company has received cash dividends of $52.4 million.

The income statement and key balance sheet information for 100% of ODL is as follows:

The following table shows the volumes pumped per injection point:

Puerto Bahia

Puerto Bahia revenues were $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared with $14.6 million in the prior quarter and $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2025. The general cargo presented an over 21% increase quarter over quarter, driven mainly by growth in the RoRo and break bulk segments. The decline volume throughput at the liquids terminal quarter over quarter was mainly due to lower throughput volumes, partially offset by volumes from LPG services.

During the quarter, the Company entered into new short-term take-or-pay agreements with Primax, Unocorp, Trafigura and Petromil for the handling approximately 10,000 bbls/d of increased volumes of diesel and fuel oil imported into Colombia to address demand associated with higher thermal power generation requirements resulting from the impacts of El Niño. Additionally, signed four tanks in take-or-pay, initially for fuel oil and other fuels.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This document 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), 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 herein.
