Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – July 8, 2025) – Hemisphere Energy Corporation (TSXV: HME) (OTCQX: HMENF) (“Hemisphere” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) has accepted the Company’s Notice of Intention to renew of its Normal Course Issuer Bid (the “NCIB”) to purchase for cancellation, from time to time, as Hemisphere considers advisable, up to 7,934,731 common shares (“Common Shares”) of the Company, representing approximately 10% of the current “public float” of the Common Shares.

Purchases of Common Shares will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSXV. For any Common Shares purchased, Hemisphere will pay the prevailing market price of the Common Shares. The actual number of Common Shares that may be purchased for cancellation and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by the Company and dependent on market conditions.

The Company is commencing the NCIB because it believes that, from time to time, the market price of its Common Shares may not properly reflect the underlying, intrinsic value of the Company, and that, at such times, the purchase of Common Shares for cancellation will increase the proportionate interest of, and be advantageous to, all remaining shareholders.

The NCIB will commence on July 14, 2025 and will terminate on July 13, 2026 or at such earlier time as the NCIB is completed or terminated at the option of Hemisphere. The Company has retained Canaccord Genuity Corp. as its broker to conduct the NCIB on its behalf.

Under the Company’s previous normal course issuer bid, the Company sought and received approval of the TSXV to purchase 8,255,766 Common Shares for the period from July 14, 2024 to July 13, 2025. During that period, the Company purchased 3,624,700 Common Shares on the open market at a weighted-average price of $1.793 per Common Share.

Q1 2025 Highlights

  • Attained record quarterly production of 3,833 boe/d (99% heavy oil), a 21% increase over the same period of last year.
  • Generated $27.3 million in revenue, a 30% increase over the first quarter of 2024.

  • Generated free funds flow1 of $11.5 million, or $0.12 per share.
  • Distributed $2.4 million, or $0.025 per share, in dividends to shareholders during the quarter.
  • Purchased and cancelled 709,700 shares for $1.3 million under the Company’s Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”).

(1) Operating netback, adjusted funds flow from operations (AFF), free funds flow, capital expenditure, and working capital are non-IFRS measures, or when expressed on a per share or boe basis, non-IFRS ratio, that do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other entities. Non-IFRS financial measures and ratios are not standardized financial measures under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other issuers. Refer to the section “Non-IFRS and Other Specified Financial Measures”.

Selected financial and operational highlights should be read in conjunction with Hemisphere’s unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes, and the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2025 which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on Hemisphere’s website at www.hemisphereenergy.ca. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.

Quarterly Dividend

Hemisphere is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.025 per common share in accordance with the Company’s dividend policy. The dividend will be paid on June 30, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 19, 2025. The dividend is designated as an eligible dividend for income tax purposes.

Including Hemisphere’s special dividend of $0.03 per common share paid in April and base quarterly dividends of $0.025 per common share in February and June, Hemisphere will have paid its shareholders $0.08 per common share in dividends during the first half of 2025.

Credit Facility

The Company has completed its annual bank review and renewed its $35.0 million two-year extendible credit facility with the same key terms, and the next annual review date set for May 31, 2026.

Operations Update

With the majority of Hemisphere’s 2025 capital spending scheduled for the latter half of the year, the Company generated $11.5 million in free funds flow during the first quarter. Current second quarter production of approximately 3,800 boe/d (99% heavy oil, field estimates between April 1 – May 15, 2025) is consistent with that of the first quarter, and represents an increase of 13% over fourth quarter production of 3,359 boe/d (99% heavy oil), due both to downtime in November and continued injection support from Hemisphere’s polymer floods at its Atlee Buffalo projects in southeast Alberta.

At Hemisphere’s Marsden pilot polymer flood project, injection continues to repressure the reservoir. Management anticipates that polymer response could take until late 2025, at which time the Company will determine economics of further development.

Management continues to closely monitor the volatility of the oil market and will adjust capital spending accordingly. With over $14 million in working capital and an undrawn credit line, Hemisphere will prioritize shareholder returns, share buybacks, and potential acquisition activity over accelerated capital spending.

Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders

Hemisphere’s Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders will be held at 10:00 am (Pacific Daylight Time) on June 2, 2025 in the Walker Room of the Terminal City Club located at 837 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.
