Infinity Natural Resources Announces First Quarter Impact of Derivative Contracts

Infinity Natural Resources, Inc. ("Infinity" or the "Company") (NYSE:INR) today provided an update on the impact of derivative contracts for the first quarter 2026.

Impact of Derivative Contracts

For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, Infinity recognized realized losses associated with settled derivative contracts of approximately $18 million. These results reflect cash settlements tied to financial contracts referencing crude oil prices, natural gas prices, and regional basis differentials.

In addition to the cash settlements recorded during the quarter, the Company recorded non-cash unrealized losses in its outstanding derivative portfolio of approximately $47 million. These unrealized losses arise from the periodic revaluation of open derivative positions using prevailing forward commodity price curves at the end of the reporting period.

Because these unrealized adjustments reflect changes in the market value of contracts that remain open, they do not represent current-period cash inflows or outflows but instead reflect the accounting remeasurement of the Company's derivative portfolio.

Overall, the combined effect of realized settlements and unrealized valuation changes resulted in estimated total derivative losses of approximately $65 million for the quarter. These derivative contracts were entered into pursuant to our board approved hedging strategy.

The following tables provide information about our derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2026.
