SECOND QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS
The following table summarizes selected highlights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024:
OPERATIONS UPDATE The second quarter of 2025 was a very significant and successful operational quarter for Logan. At Pouce Coupe, Logan completed construction and commissioning of its 4-19 Facility (Gordondale) and has since ramped asset production by bringing onstream 9 wells. The 4-19 Facility serves as a gas plant, oil battery and compression station capable of handling 40,000 mcf/d of gross raw natural gas, 7,000 bbls/d of oil and 11,000 bbls/d of water (~10,000 BOE per day of total asset throughput). This project was completed on an industry leading timeline and cost metrics of approximately nine months from final investment decision and $37 million of capital. Having this facility completed brings the Company's Pouce Coupe asset to full development whereby it is now a free cash flow engine for Logan capable of sustaining 8,000 to 10,000 BOE per day for 11 years with oil weighted inventory and over 20 years inclusive of the gas weighted inventory. The Company would like to thank its operations and engineering teams for the successful execution of this transformational project for Logan. The 4-19 Facility was commissioned on May 30th and the five well "7-12" pad came onstream in June, after which volumes through the plant were ramped and have since reached over 8,000 BOE per day. With the fine tuning of the compressors and other minor facility components ongoing as well as the ramping volumes from the four well "14-17" pad, which is currently cleaning up, Logan expects to hit a peak of ~10,000 BOE per day at Pouce Coupe in the coming weeks contributing to an H2 2025 average forecast of ~16,000 BOE per day corporately. Performance of the 7-12 pad has been very strong, averaging 650 bbls/d of oil, 20 bbls/d of NGLs and 2.2 mmcf/d of natural gas (1,030 BOE/d, 65% liquids) per well for the first 30 days on production. The 14-17 pad is currently cleaning up with less than 30 days of production to-date. At Simonette, Logan has resumed drilling operations in the Lower Montney oil play. Logan has now drilled 2 (1.0 net) wells and expects to complete and bring these wells onstream in the fourth quarter of 2025. Logan is pleased to report that it has successfully fracked its Duvernay appraisal well at Ante Creek. The frac placed well and according to design. Logan expects to bring the well onstream at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Ante Creek represents a high potential area of additional long term oil growth for Logan that is not currently included in Logan's growth plan. MANAGEMENT UPDATE Logan is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Linda Brown to the position of Interim Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer to be effective November 1, 2025. Ms. Brown is assuming the role while Ashley Hohm, the Company's current Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, is expected to be on maternity leave starting on or about November 1, 2025. Ms. Brown is a Chartered Professional Accountant and has been the Controller of Logan since June 2023. ABOUT LOGAN ENERGY CORP.

READER ADVISORIES Non-GAAP Measures and Ratios This press release contains certain financial measures and ratios which do not have standardized meanings prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards"), also known as Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). As these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios are commonly used in the oil and gas industry, Logan believes that their inclusion is useful to investors. The reader is cautioned that these amounts may not be directly comparable to measures for other companies where similar terminology is used. The non-GAAP measures and ratios used in this press release, represented by the capitalized and defined terms outlined below, are used by Logan as key measures of financial performance and are not intended to represent operating profits nor should they be viewed as an alternative to cash provided by operating activities, net income or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS. The definitions below should be read in conjunction with the "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures" section of the Company's MD&A dated August 12, 2025, which includes discussion of the purpose and composition of the specified financial measures and detailed reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Operating Income and Operating Netback Operating Income, a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful supplemental measure that provides an indication of the Company's ability to generate cash from field operations, prior to administrative overhead, financing and other business expenses. "Operating Income, before hedging" is calculated by Logan as oil and gas sales, net of royalties, plus processing and other revenue, less operating and transportation expenses. "Operating Income, after hedging" is calculated by adjusting Operating Income, before hedging for realized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments. The Company refers to Operating Income expressed per unit of production as an "Operating Netback" and reports the Operating Netback before and after hedging, both of which are non-GAAP financial ratios. Logan considers Operating Netback an important measure to evaluate its operational performance as it demonstrates its field level profitability relative to current commodity prices. Adjusted Funds Flow Cash provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable measure to Adjusted Funds Flow. "Adjusted Funds Flow" is reconciled to cash provided by operating activities by excluding changes in non-cash working capital, adding back transaction costs on acquisitions (if applicable). Logan utilizes Adjusted Funds Flow as a key performance measure in the Company's annual financial forecasts and public guidance. The Company refers to Adjusted Funds Flow expressed per unit of production as an "Adjusted Funds Flow Netback". Adjusted Funds Flow per share ("AFF per share") AFF per share is a non-GAAP financial ratio used by the Logan as a key performance indicator. The basic and/or diluted weighted average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of AFF per share is calculated using the same methodology as net income per share. Capital Expenditures before A&D "Capital Expenditures before A&D" is used by Logan to measure its capital investment level compared to the Company's annual budgeted capital expenditures for its organic drilling program. It includes capital expenditures on exploration and evaluation assets and property, plant and equipment, before acquisitions and dispositions. The directly comparable GAAP measure to capital expenditures is cash used in investing activities. Net Debt (Surplus) Throughout this press release, references to "Net Debt" or "Net Surplus" includes bank debt, net of "Adjusted Working Capital". Net Debt and Adjusted Working Capital are both non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted Working Capital is calculated as current liabilities less current assets, excluding derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities and provisions and other liabilities. As at June 30, 2025, Adjusted Working Capital includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaids and deposits, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Net Debt to Adjusted Funds Flow Ratio The Company monitors its capital structure and short-term financing requirements using a "Net Debt to Adjusted Funds Flow Ratio", which is a non-GAAP financial ratio calculated as the Company's Net Debt relative to its Adjusted Funds Flow, monitored on both a twelve month trailing basis for fiscal year, and annualized basis for the most recently completed quarter multiplied by a factor of 4. Management believes that this ratio provides investors with information to understand the Company's liquidity risk and its ability to repay bank debt and fund future capital expenditures. Supplementary Financial Measures The supplementary financial measures used in this press release (primarily average sales price per product type and certain per BOE and per share figures) are either a per unit disclosure of a corresponding GAAP measure, or a component of a corresponding GAAP measure, presented in the financial statements. Supplementary financial measures that are disclosed on a per unit basis are calculated by dividing the aggregate GAAP measure (or component thereof) by the applicable unit for the period. Supplementary financial measures that are disclosed on a component basis of a corresponding GAAP measure are a granular representation of a financial statement line item and are determined in accordance with GAAP. Other Measurements All dollar figures included herein are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted. This press release contains various references to the abbreviation "BOE" which means barrels of oil equivalent. Where amounts are expressed on a BOE basis, natural gas volumes have been converted to oil equivalence at six thousand cubic feet (mcf) per barrel (bbl). The term BOE may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet per barrel is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead and is significantly different than the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil and natural gas. This conversion factor is an industry accepted norm and is not based on either energy content or current prices. Such abbreviation may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. References to "oil" or "crude oil" in this press release include light crude oil, medium crude oil, heavy oil and tight oil combined. NI 51-101 includes condensate within the product type of "natural gas liquids". References to "natural gas liquids" or "NGLs" include pentane, butane, propane and ethane. References to "gas" or "natural gas" relates to conventional natural gas. References to "liquids" includes crude oil, condensate and NGLs. The Company has disclosed "condensate" separately from other natural gas liquids in this press release since the price of condensate as compared to other natural gas liquids is currently significantly higher and the Company believes that this presentation provides a more accurate description of its operations and results. References in this press release to peak rates, first 30 days of production, producing day rates and other short-term production rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however such rates are not determinative of the rates at which such wells will commence production and decline thereafter and are not indicative of long-term performance or of ultimate recovery. While encouraging, readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates in calculating the aggregate production of Logan. Share Capital Common shares of Logan trade on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol "LGN". As of June 30, 2025 and as of the date hereof, there were 595.7 million common shares outstanding. There are no preferred shares or special shares outstanding. Logan's convertible securities outstanding as of the date of this press release include: 64.3 million common share purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.35 per share expiring July 12, 2028; and 41.0 million stock options with an exercise price of $0.78 per share and an average remaining term of 3.9 years.
