Robust production growth and stronger prices drive substantial earnings improvement
- Robust growth in Longanesi sales gas production and stronger realized prices drove substantial revenue growth. Production from ten strings throughout the quarter and targeted well optimization supported the increase in average daily output compared to the second quarter of 2026.
- Revenue growth outpaced increases in royalties and operating costs, resulting in higher operating income and Adjusted EBITDA¹.
- The quarter reflected the earnings benefit of higher production in a stronger gas price environment.
- Net income margin represented 30.3% of revenue, while Adjusted EBITDA margin¹ was 59.4%, compared with 40.6% in the second quarter of 2026.
Earnings substantially exceed the average of the last four quarters
- For the twelve months ended September 30, 2026, AleAnna reported revenue of $49.2 million and net income of $13.7 million.
- In the third quarter of 2026, net income of $6.2 million exceeded the average of $3.4 million for the last four quarters. The average includes the third quarter of 2026.
Longanesi supports growth and advances permanent infrastructure
- Longanesi is the principal contributor to AleAnna’s robust quarterly growth with average gross production reaching more than 800 kSmc/d, and strong plant uptime.
- Development of permanent production facilities continued with the joint venture partner and operator, with the permanent infrastructure expected to further enhance operations and support the concession’s long-term development.
Gradizza advances the operated production portfolio
- Gradizza advanced during the quarter, with construction and baseline environmental monitoring progressing toward AleAnna’s first wholly owned and operated producing asset.
- The project represents a strategic opportunity and is expected to expand the Company’s Italian production base.
Advancing a promising portfolio of development opportunities
- Beyond Longanesi and Gradizza, AleAnna actively advanced preparations across its wider Italian project portfolio for future development.
- In October 2026, environmental compliance work at Fornace was completed and preparatory activities included rig identification and tender documentation for civil works and drilling, with further authorization still required.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures and Definitions
In addition to amounts presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), we also present certain supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides both management and investors with a greater understanding of our operating results and trends in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP and provides greater comparability across time periods. These measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures, nor should they be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Our non-GAAP measures are reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income (loss) adjusted for interest and other income, income taxes, depreciation and depletion. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA differs from EBITDA because we further adjust non-GAAP EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense and the remeasurement of asset retirement obligations, and other one-off activity, when applicable. The purpose of presenting Adjusted EBITDA is to adjust for items that we do not believe represent the operations of the core business such as transaction expenses, share-based compensation, and other non-recurring costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin corresponds to the ratio between Adjusted EBITDA and revenue.
The following table is a reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin:
