FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS — PAGE 2 of 5

In the fourth quarter, adjusted EBITDAX was $1.2 billion, free cash flow totaled $425 million and APA returned $154 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.

For the full-year 2025, reported production averaged 464,000 BOE per day and adjusted production averaged 392,000 BOE per day. Further adjusted for non-core U.S. asset sales, full-year 2025 adjusted production averaged 386,000 BOE per day. 2025 adjusted EBITDAX was $5.4 billion, free cash flow totaled $1.0 billion, and APA returned $640 million through dividends and share repurchases. At year-end 2025, APA’s net debt was under $4.0 billion.

CEO commentary

“The progress we delivered in 2025 reflects a fundamental transformation of APA’s base business over the past several years. We have high-graded the portfolio, significantly reduced our cost structure, strengthened the balance sheet, and further advanced our exploration efforts, resulting in a more focused, resilient, and capital-efficient company,” said John J. Christmann IV, APA’s CEO.

Permian inventory update

The company completed a comprehensive assessment of its Permian inventory position, highlighting 10 years of economic inventory at its current cost structure and validating significant technical upside. “During the year, we conducted a thorough review of our Permian Basin inventory, incorporating our improved cost structure,” said Christmann. “This work confirmed the depth and quality of our drilling opportunities and validated substantial upside potential. It also increased our confidence in our ability to sustain oil production for the next decade while delivering competitive capital efficiency.”

2026 capital budget and outlook

APA plans to invest $2.1 billion in total upstream capital, a 10% reduction versus 2025, reflecting momentum from ongoing cost savings and lower Permian activity. This includes $230 million for the GranMorgu development and $70 million for exploration.

G4U.S. oil production is expected to average 120,000 to 122,000 barrels per day, a slight improvement from the preliminary outlook provided in November. G5Permian development capital is expected to be $1.2 billion, plus an additional investment of $100 million toward projects designed to sustainably reduce LOE over time.

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL RESULTS — PAGE 3 of 5

In Egypt, gross production is expected to slightly grow year-over-year, with G6T7gas production expected to grow 13% to 15%, reflecting an increasing shift to more gas-focused drilling activity. G7Adjusted production is expected to remain consistent at 72,000 BOE per day. These figures include impacts related to the recent withdrawal from a non-core concession outside of the Merged Concession Area.

“Turning to 2026, our strategic priorities are clear, and our capital plan is disciplined. We will sustain operational momentum, further reduce our cost structure, continue strengthening our balance sheet, and T8invest in the future through exploration,” concluded Christmann.

Year-end 2025 proved reserves

Worldwide estimated proved reserves grew 9% to 1,056 million BOE at year-end 2025, of which 734 million BOE were classified as proved developed.

Non-GAAP financial measures

APA’s financial information includes information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as well as non-GAAP financial information. It is management’s intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of our consolidated financial information as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted earnings, adjusted EBITDAX, upstream capital investment, net debt, cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities and free cash flow are non-GAAP measures. This non-GAAP information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented along with the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure.

Forward-looking statements

This news release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “goals,” “guidance,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “possibly,” “potential,” “projects,” “prospects,” “should,” “upside,” “will,” “would,” and similar references to future periods, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future plans, expectations, and objectives for operations, including statements about our capital plans, drilling plans, production expectations, asset sales, monetizations, and inventory quantity, life, and quality.

While forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to differ materially from our expectations. See “Risk Factors” in APA’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and in APA’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, when filed, for a discussion of risk factors that affect our business. Any forward-looking statement made in this news release speaks only as of the date on which it is made.

Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. APA and its subsidiaries undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future development or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Cautionary note to investors

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable, and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. APA may use certain terms in this news release, such as “resources,” “potential resources,” “resource potential,” “estimated net reserves,” “recoverable reserves,” and other similar terms that the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit APA from including in filings with the SEC. Such terms do not take into account the certainty of resource recovery, which is contingent on exploration success, technical improvements in drilling access, commerciality, and other factors, and are therefore not indicative of expected future resource recovery and should not be relied upon.

Investors are urged to consider carefully the disclosure in APA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2024, and APA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2025, when filed, available from APA at www.apacorp.com or by writing APA at: 2000 W. Sam Houston Pkwy. S., Suite. 200, Houston, TX 77042 (Attn: Corporate Secretary). 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.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(In millions)

Reconciliation of Costs incurred to Upstream capital investment

Management believes the presentation of upstream capital investments is useful for investors to assess APA’s expenditures related to our upstream capital activity. We define capital investments as costs incurred for oil and gas activities, adjusted to exclude property and leasehold acquisitions, asset retirement additions and revisions, capitalized interest, and certain exploration expenses. Upstream capital expenditures attributable to a one-third noncontrolling interest in Egypt are also excluded. Management believes this provides a more accurate reflection of APA’s cash expenditures related to upstream capital activity and is consistent with how we plan our capital budget.

Reconciliation of Net cash provided by operating activities to Cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities and Free cash flow

Cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. APA uses these measures internally and provides this information because management believes it is useful in evaluating the company’s ability to generate cash to internally fund exploration and development activities, fund dividend programs, and service debt, as well as to compare our results from period to period. We believe these measures are also used by research analysts and investors to value and compare oil and gas exploration and production companies and are frequently included in published research reports when providing investment recommendations. Cash flows from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities and free cash flow are additional measures of liquidity but are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities. Additionally, this presentation of free cash flow may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies in our industry.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(In millions)

Reconciliation of Net cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted EBITDAX

Management believes EBITDAX, or earnings before income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation, amortization and exploration expense is a widely accepted financial indicator, and useful for investors, to assess a company’s ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and make distributions to shareholders. We define adjusted EBITDAX, a non-GAAP financial measure, as EBITDAX adjusted for certain items presented in the accompanying reconciliation. Management uses adjusted EBITDAX to evaluate our ability to fund our capital expenditures, debt services and other operational requirements and to compare our results from period to period by eliminating the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company’s on-going operations.

Management also believes adjusted EBITDAX facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing EBITDAX from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain operating expenses that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted EBITDAX may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.

STATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS

(In millions, except per share data)

Reconciliation of Income attributable to common stock to Adjusted earnings

Our presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures because they exclude the effect of certain items included in Income Attributable to Common Stock. Management believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share provides relevant and useful information, which is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors in our industry as well as by our management in assessing the Company’s operational trends and comparability of results to our peers.

Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share to evaluate our operating and financial performance because it eliminates the impact of certain items that management does not consider to be representative of the Company’s on-going business operations. As a performance measure, adjusted earnings may be useful to investors in facilitating comparisons to others in the Company’s industry because certain items can vary substantially in the oil and gas industry from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and asset sales and other divestitures, among other factors. Management believes excluding these items facilitates investors and analysts in evaluating and comparing the underlying operating and financial performance of our business from period to period by eliminating differences caused by the existence and timing of certain expense and income items that would not otherwise be apparent on a GAAP basis. However, our presentation of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share may not be comparable to similar measures of other companies in our industry.
