Amplify Energy Corp. (AMPY)·Q2 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q2 delivered stable operations with 19.1 MBoepd (+7% q/q), $68.36M total revenue, $0.15 EPS, and $19.0M Adjusted EBITDA; net income of $6.4M benefited from a derivatives gain while Adjusted Net Loss was $2.3M due to non-cash items and divestiture/impairment effects .
- Oil mix increased to 48% (64% liquids) as Beta wells outperformed; LOE/boe improved to $22.20 (from $23.28) on efficiency gains despite lower commodity prices .
- FY25 guidance updated: total volumes trimmed (18.5–20.0 MBoepd), oil differential widened, Adjusted EBITDA lowered to $80–$100M (from $80–$110M), capex raised to $65–$80M, and free cash flow cut to $0–$10M (from $10–$20M), reflecting Beta acceleration and Eagle Ford sale .
- Strategic pivot advancing: CEO transition, Eagle Ford divestiture proceeds used to reduce debt, and processes initiated to monetize East Texas/Oklahoma to focus on Beta/Bairoil and become more oil-weighted (potential stock catalysts as transactions approach) .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Production and oil mix: 19.1 MBoepd (+1.2 MBoepd q/q) as Beta C54 came online; liquids mix rose to 64% with oil at 48% of volumes, aligned with strategy to be more oil-weighted .
- Beta performance: C54 cum 90 Mbo in ~100 days, currently ~850 gross Bopd; payback ~8 months, IRR >100% at current prices; management: “strong second quarter operating and financial results…C54 has the highest initial production rates of the four wells” .
- Cost control: LOE/boe fell ~5% q/q to $22.20; cash G&A dropped to $6.8M (from $7.3M); Bairoil power projects expected to lower costs in 2H .
What Went Wrong
- Pricing headwinds and non-GAAP softness: Total revenues down q/q ($68.36M vs $72.05M) and Adjusted Net Loss of $2.3M despite GAAP net income aided by derivatives; free cash flow negative ($10.1M) on front‑loaded capex .
- Impairment and raised capex: Q2 impairment expense $8.45M and FY25 capex raised $10M to $65–$80M to accelerate Beta, compressing FY25 FCF outlook to $0–$10M .
- Guidance pressure: FY25 total volumes and EBITDA range lowered; oil differential widened to ($4.00)–($5.00), modestly pressuring realizations .

- On hedging: Extended crude swaps into 2026–27 (~$62.6–$65.8) and added 2027–28 gas collars (floors ~$3.50, ceilings ~$4.52) to protect cash flows .

Estimates Context
S&P Global consensus estimates for Q2 2025 were unavailable for EPS, revenue, and EBITDA as of this analysis; thus, no quantitative beat/miss assessment versus Street is provided (we attempted retrieval, but no data returned from S&P Global). Values retrieved from S&P Global.
Implications: In absence of published consensus, buyside models will likely adjust to (a) slightly lower FY25 volumes and EBITDA, (b) higher capex and wider oil differentials, and (c) stronger Beta well cadence in 2H offset by front-loaded spend .
Key Takeaways for Investors
- Sequential operational step-up with oil-weighted mix tailwind: 19.1 MBoepd (+7% q/q), liquids 64%, oil 48%; Beta continues to outperform; this mix helps mitigate lower commodity prices .
- Reported GAAP profitability masks non-GAAP softness: $6.4M net income vs $2.3M Adjusted Net Loss; free cash flow negative on accelerated capex; near-term FCF constrained until capex tails off in 4Q .
- Guidance reset frames 2H: FY25 EBITDA range narrowed to $80–$100M and FCF to $0–$10M; higher capex reflects Beta acceleration with high IRRs; expect improved capital efficiency in 2026 as wells mature .
- Balance sheet manageable with hedging support: RBL base $135M post-Eagle Ford sale; net debt/LTM Adj. EBITDA 1.5x with extended oil/gas hedges into 2027–28 .
- Strategic simplification is core catalyst path: sale of East Texas/Oklahoma would streamline footprint, lower G&A/LOE, reduce debt, and fund Beta program acceleration—key potential stock rerating triggers on execution .
- Watch list for 3Q/4Q: C08 well results at Beta, LOE trajectory at Bairoil as power projects complete, progress on asset sales, and any update to differentials/realizations .
- Risk checks: wider oil diffs ($4–$5/bbl), higher GP&T for oil, commodity volatility, and execution risk on divestitures could pressure FY25 FCF within the new range .
