Operational Growth and Financial Performance

Infinity delivered an impressive 39% year-over-year increase in total net daily production, reaching 36.0 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBoe/d) in Q3 2025 compared to Q3 2024. A notable driver of this growth was a 70% surge in natural gas production over the same period, with expectations for an additional three-well natural gas pad to be operational in Q4 2025.

The company reported net income of $40.0 million for the quarter. Infinity’s Adjusted EBITDAX—an important metric for energy firms—stood at $60.0 million, with an Adjusted EBITDAX margin of $18.12 per Boe. This margin is believed to be the best among peers operating within the Appalachian Basin.

During the quarter, Infinity placed ten wells into sales, totaling approximately 162,000 lateral feet. This included six oil-weighted wells in the Ohio Utica Shale and four natural gas-weighted wells in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania, enhancing its asset base in two key production areas.

Strategic Asset Acquisition and Capital Investment

The company strategically acquired roughly 3,000 net acres during the quarter, enhancing its working interest in active development projects and securing future growth opportunities. Development capital expenditures amounted to $83.2 million, covering drilling, completion, and midstream activities. Total capital expenditures for the quarter were $95.0 million, including $11.8 million invested in land acquisition.

Liquidity and Financial Position

Infinity remains financially well-positioned, with net cash provided by operating activities totaling $186.7 million for the first nine months of 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the company held approximately $4.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $75.3 million in borrowings under its revolving credit facility. After an increase in its borrowing base to $375 million effective October 1, 2025, total liquidity stood at a healthy $304.3 million, including $299.7 million of available borrowing capacity.

2025 Guidance and Outlook

Infinity has narrowed its 2025 net production guidance to a range of 33.5 to 35 MBoe/d, focusing on the higher end of its previous estimate range. The development capital budget for 2025 is also refined to between $270 million and $292 million, aligning with the combined high end of previous drilling, completion, and midstream investment projections.

Share Repurchase Program

Infinity’s Board authorized a share repurchase program on November 10, 2025. The company may buy back up to $75 million of Class A common stock through various market mechanisms, including open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, and Rule 10b5-1 plans.
