- All comments concerning our expectations for future revenues and operating results are based on our forecasts for our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions.

- Accordingly, we monitor the natural gas storage reports regularly in the evaluation of our business and its outlook.
- We also regularly compare projected volumes to actual reported volumes and investigate unexpected variances.
- If we have multiple contracts outstanding with a single counterparty, unless restricted by our agreement, we will net settle the contract payments.

- As of September 30, 2026, we had hedged a portion of our expected future volumes for the remainder of 2026, 2027, and 2028.
- We intend to continuously monitor the production from our assets and the commodity price environment, and will, from time to time, add additional hedges within the percentages described above related to such production.
