CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “should”, “would”, and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Forward-looking statements which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Report, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs and cash flows, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived utilizing numerous important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include the information concerning our future financial performance, business strategy, projected plans and objectives. These factors include, among others, the factors set forth below under the heading “Risk Factors.” Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Most of these factors are difficult to predict accurately and are generally beyond our control. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements may include statements about:

●	our business strategy;
●	our reserves;
●	our technology;
●	our cash flows and liquidity;
●	our financial strategy, budget, projections and operating results;
●	oil and natural gas realized prices;
●	our ability to successfully integrate the assets and operations of the Acquired Companies (as defined and discussed below), including the planned benefits of such transaction;
●	timing and amount of future production of oil and natural gas;
●	the availability of oil field labor;
●	the amount, nature and timing of capital expenditures, including future exploration and development costs;
●	drilling of wells;
●	government regulation and taxation of the oil and natural gas industry;
●	changes in, and interpretations and enforcement of, environmental and other laws and other political and regulatory developments, including in particular additional permit scrutiny in Colorado;
●	exploitation projects or property acquisitions;
●	costs of exploiting and developing our properties and conducting other operations;
●	general economic conditions in the United States and around the world, including the effect of regional or global health pandemics (such as, for example, the 2019 coronavirus (“COVID-19”)), recent changes in inflation and interest rates, tariffs and trade wars, and risks of recessions, including as a result thereof;
●	competition in the oil and natural gas industry;
●	effectiveness of our risk management activities;
●	environmental liabilities;
●	counterparty credit risk;
●	developments in oil-producing and natural gas-producing countries;
●	political conditions in or affecting oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas producing regions and/or pipelines, including in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and South America, for example, as experienced with the Russian invasion of the Ukraine in February 2022 and the current war in Israel, which conflicts are ongoing;
●	our future operating results;
●	future acquisition transactions;
●	our estimated future reserves and the present value of such reserves; and
●	our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions contained in this Quarterly Report are not historical.

All forward-looking statements speak only at the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements we make in this Quarterly Report are reasonable, we can provide no assurance that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. We disclose important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 3) for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on October 31, 2025. These cautionary statements qualify all forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements except as required by law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

PEDEVCO CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of PEDEVCO Corp. (“PEDEVCO” or the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in PEDEVCO’s latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, as reported in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 3) for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on October 31, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”), have been omitted.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s future financial condition and liquidity will be impacted by, among other factors, the success of our drilling program, the number of commercially viable oil and natural gas discoveries made and the quantities of oil and natural gas discovered, the speed with which we can bring such discoveries to production, the actual cost of exploration, appraisal and development of our prospects, and the prevailing prices and demand for oil and natural gas.

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the interim period ended September 30, 2025, the Company discovered that it had not accurately calculated the income tax benefit upon release of its existing valuation against net deferred assets as of December 31, 2024. The error resulted in an overstatement of its tax benefit and deferred income taxes asset account of approximately $5,496,000 as of December 31, 2024. The error was primarily the result of the Company not appropriately applying an excess amount of prior period net operating losses (“NOLs”) in the tax benefit calculation. The error did not impact total revenue, cash flow from operations and cash balances for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 reflects the amounts from the December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statements that were corrected and restated based on the following (in thousands):

	As of December 31, 2024
CORRECTED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET	As Previously Reported			Impact of Adjustment			As Restated
Deferred income taxes	$	12,751		$	(5,496	)	$	7,255
Total assets		133,845			(5,496	)		128,349
Accumulated deficit		(106,002	)		(5,496	)		(111,498	)
Total shareholders’ equity		121,100			(5,496	)		115,604
Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity		133,845			(5,496	)		128,349

NOTE 2 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

PEDEVCO is an oil and gas company focused on the development, acquisition and production of oil and natural gas assets where the latest in modern drilling and completion techniques and technologies have yet to be applied. In particular, the Company focuses on legacy proven properties where there is a long production history, well defined geology and existing infrastructure that can be leveraged when applying modern field management technologies. The Company’s current properties are located in the San Andres formation of the Permian Basin situated in West Texas and eastern New Mexico (the “Permian Basin”) and in the Denver-Julesberg Basin (“D-J Basin”) in Colorado and Wyoming. The Company holds its Permian Basin acres located in Chaves and Roosevelt Counties, New Mexico, through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Pacific Energy Development Corp. (“PEDCO”), which asset the Company refers to as its “Permian Basin Asset,” and it holds its D-J Basin acres located in Weld and Morgan Counties, Colorado, and Laramie County, Wyoming, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PRH Holdings LLC, and which asset the Company refers to as its “D-J Basin Asset.”

The Company believes that horizontal development and exploitation of conventional assets in the Permian Basin and development of the Wattenberg and Wattenberg Extension in the D-J Basin represent among the most economic oil and natural gas plays in the United States (“U.S.”). Moving forward, the Company plans to optimize its existing assets and opportunistically seek additional acreage proximate to its currently held core acreage, as well as other attractive onshore U.S. oil and gas assets that fit the Company’s acquisition criteria, that Company management believes can be developed using its technical and operating expertise and be accretive to shareholder value.

As discussed in greater detail below in Note 16, on October 31, 2025, the Company closed the transactions contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 31, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), between the Company, NP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), COG Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub,” and together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), North Peak Oil & Gas, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NPOG”), Century Oil and Gas Sub-Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“COG,” and together with NPOG, the “Acquired Companies”), and, solely for purposes of the specified provisions therein, North Peak Oil & Gas Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited partnership (“North Peak”).

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (a) First Merger Sub merged with and into NPOG, with NPOG being the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEDEVCO and (b) Second Merger Sub merged with and into COG, with COG being the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PEDEVCO (the “Mergers”).

Because the Mergers closed on October 31, 2025, after the period covered by this Report, the operations, assets, liabilities and other financial information of the Acquired Companies are not included in the consolidated financial statements included herein.

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company has provided a discussion of significant accounting policies, estimates and judgments in its 2024 Annual Report. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies since December 31, 2024.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information related to income taxes paid to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This ASU will be effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. While the adoption of this ASU will modify the Company’s disclosures, it will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows in its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires additional disclosure about specified categories of expenses included in relevant expense captions presented on the income statement. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company does not expect the standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements and has begun evaluating disclosure presentation alternatives.

NOTE 4 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Disaggregation of Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The following table disaggregates revenue by significant product type in the periods indicated (in thousands):

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred $17,220,000 of capital costs primarily related to the Company’s completion operations with respect to four operated wells drilled and completed with a third-party as well as five lift conversions in the Permian Basin. The Company also participated in the drilling and/or completion of 23 non-operated wells in the D-J Basin for which production has yet to begin ranging from 8% to 44% working interest. Additionally, the Company acquired approximately 100 net mineral acres and 296 net lease acres in and around its existing footprint in the D-J Basin through multiple transactions at total acquisition and due diligence costs of $194,000 and $334,000, respectively.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an impairment of oil and gas properties of $907,000 related to undeveloped leases representing 1,034 net acres in the D-J Basin that it allowed to expire or had no plans to drill prior to expiration.

In February 2025, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with a private equity-backed D-J Basin E&P Company (“Operator”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to jointly participate in the expansion and development of the Company’s Roth and Amber drilling and spacing units (“DSUs”) located in Weld County, Colorado. The Operator paid to the Company $1.7 million, and the Company agreed to amend the Company’s existing Roth and Amber DSUs to increase each to 1,600 acres and transfer operatorship of the DSUs to the Operator.

In February 2025, the Company recognized $0.3 million in disposition expense related to the sale of certain capitalized equipment to a third-party in the D-J Basin.

In April 2025, the Company sold all of its operated production in Weld County, Colorado to a private buyer for an adjusted price of $606,000. The sale included wellbore and surface equipment only for the Company’s 17 operated wells in its D-J Basin Asset, with the Company retaining ownership in all its existing leasehold. The effective date of the sale is January 1, 2025. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on sale of oil and gas properties of $1,021,000 in its consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Table of Contents

On September 12, 2023, the Company and Evolution Petroleum Corporation (“Evolution”) entered into a Participation Agreement for the joint development of approximately 16,000 gross leasehold acres divided into twelve “Development Blocks” within the Company’s Permian Basin Asset, in which the parties may jointly develop by drilling and completion of up to nine horizontal San Andres wells in each Development Block. The Company received net proceeds of $366,000 and serves as the operator. Evolution acquired a 50% working interest share in existing leases, covering the initial two Development Blocks (which equals Evolution’s share of the acreage portion for nine drilling locations therein), and upon completion of the wells in each Development Block, Evolution will have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a 50% working interest share in the next Development Block in exchange for the payment of $450 per net acre of existing leases held by the Company in such block, and participate on a 50% working interest share basis in the drilling and completion of up to nine horizontal San Andres wells in such Development Block. Pursuant to the Participation Agreement, in June 2024, Evolution acquired a 50% working interest share in Existing Leases covering approximately 811 net acres located in the third, fourth and fifth Development Blocks in exchange for the payment of $365,000 in total proceeds to the Company. Additionally, in September 2025, Evolution acquired a 50% working interest share in Existing Leases covering approximately 640 net acres located in the eighth Development Block in exchange for the payment of $288,000 in total proceeds to the Company.

Depletion expense recorded for production on proved properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, amounted to $3,783,000, compared to $3,100,000, and $10,591,000, compared to $10,307,000, respectively.

NOTE 7 – NOTE RECEIVABLE

On November 9, 2023, in accordance with the sale of our then wholly-owned subsidiary EOR Operating Company (“EOR”) to Tilloo Exploration and Production LLC (“Tilloo”), the Company entered into a five-year secured promissory note (the “Note”) with Tilloo, bearing interest at 10% per annum, with no payments due until January 8, 2025, and fully-amortized payments due monthly over the remaining four years of the term thereafter until maturity. The Note contains customary events of default and is secured by a lien over all the assets and capital shares of EOR created under a Security Agreement, a Security Agreement (Pledge of Corporate Securities), and a Mortgage entered into by and between the Company and Tilloo.

Tilloo failed to make its initial installment payment on January 8, 2025, and has not made any subsequent payments as of September 30, 2025. The Company issued a notice of default under the Note to Tilloo in mid-January 2025 and sought to work with Tilloo into April 2025 in an effort to either restructure the Note or arrange for the sale of the assets securing the same to an unaffiliated third-party buyer, with proceeds of such sale to be applied toward repayment of the Note. On September 18, 2025, Tilloo filed a civil lawsuit against the Company in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, alleging breach of contract, fraudulent inducement, and negligent misrepresentation. The Company is currently in the process of preparing a response and intends to vigorously defend against these allegations, and make appropriate counterclaims against Tilloo, where available. Due to Tilloo’s sustained default and a determination by the Company that the prospect of recovery is remote, the Company wrote off the outstanding balance of the Note in the second quarter of 2025. As such, the outstanding balance of the Note as of September 30, 2025 is nil.

Accordingly, a $1,267,000 note receivable – credit loss has been recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. However, the Company continues to consider avenues and remedies available to collect on all amounts due and owing to the Company from Tilloo. Additionally, the Company has fully written off post-closing adjustments receivable due from Tilloo related to the sale of EOR in the amount of $111,000. These write-offs reflect the Company's decision that the carrying value of the Note and post-closing adjustments receivable are no longer recoverable. Taken together, the Company recognized a total of $1,378,000 in note receivable – credit loss in the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

RAZO has been timely paying each reimbursement invoice received from the OCD in accordance with the SFO and is in full compliance with the SFO. The SFO superseded all previous Agreed Compliance Orders, as amended, entered into by and between RAZO and the OCD. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company reimbursed the OCD $504,000 in plugging and abandoning costs related to the SFO.

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Agreements

Currently, the Company has one operating lease for office space that requires Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 treatment, discussed below.

The Company’s leases typically do not provide an implicit rate. Accordingly, the Company is required to use its incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments based on the information available at the commencement date. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate would reflect the estimated rate of interest that it would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. However, at the time of implementation the Company maintained no debt, and in order to apply an appropriate discount rate, the Company used a borrowing rate obtained from a financial institution at which it maintains banking accounts.

In December 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 5,200 square feet of office space in Houston, Texas, that commenced on September 1, 2023, which expires on February 28, 2027. The remaining monthly payments are approximately $15,800 through February 2026 and increase to approximately $16,000 through the end of the lease. The Company paid a security deposit of $14,700.

Supplemental cash flow information related to the Company’s operating office lease is included in the table below (in thousands):

Leasehold Drilling Commitments

The Company’s oil and gas leasehold acreage is subject to expiration of leases if the Company does not drill and hold such acreage by production or otherwise exercise options to extend such leases, if available, in exchange for payment of additional cash consideration. In the D-J Basin, no net acres expire during the remainder of 2025, and 7,229 net acres expire within the next two-year period (net to our direct ownership interest only). In the Permian Basin, no net acres are due to expire during the remainder of 2025, and no net acres expire within the next two-year period (net to our direct ownership interest only). The Company plans to hold significantly all of this acreage through a program of drilling and completing producing wells. If the Company is not able to drill and complete a well before lease expiration, the Company may seek to extend leases where able.

Other Commitments

Although the Company may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business, the Company is not currently a party to any material legal proceeding. In addition, the Company is not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against it or contemplated to be brought against it.

As part of its regular operations, the Company may become party to various pending or threatened claims, lawsuits and administrative proceedings seeking damages or other remedies concerning its commercial operations, products, employees and other matters.

Although the Company provides no assurance about the outcome of any future legal and administrative proceedings and the effect such outcomes may have on the Company, the Company believes that any ultimate liability resulting from the outcome of such proceedings, to the extent not otherwise provided for or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Milnesand Sale Dispute and Tilloo Note Default and Litigation

On November 4, 2024, the Company received correspondence from legal counsel to Tilloo Exploration & Production, LLC seeking to recover damages which Tilloo is alleging were caused by alleged intentional misrepresentations made by principals of the Company to principals of Tilloo in connection with Tilloo’s acquisition of the Milnesand and Sawyer fields in New Mexico from the Company for aggregate consideration of $1,122,436 effective August 1, 2023 (the “Milnesand Sale”), which consideration was paid to the Company by Tilloo via a five-year secured promissory note with 10% annual interest and no payments due until January 8, 2025 (the “Tilloo Note”). The Company does not believe any misrepresentations were made by the Company or its principals in the Milnesand Sale and that the claims will fail as a matter of law. The Company has not received any correspondence from Tilloo regarding the allegations made in November 4, 2024 correspondence subsequent to receipt of the same from Tilloo, and Tilloo failed to make the initial installment payment due under the Tilloo Note on January 8, 2025. The Company issued a notice of default under the Tilloo Note to Tilloo in mid-January 2025. On September 18, 2025, Tilloo filed a civil lawsuit against the Company in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, alleging breach of contract, fraudulent inducement, and negligent misrepresentation. The Company is currently in the process of preparing a response and intends to vigorously defend against these allegations, and make appropriate counterclaims against Tilloo, where available. The Company does not anticipate that the Company will incur any material losses related thereto.

Phoenix Litigation

Upon the consummation of the Mergers, effective October 31, 2025, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NPOG, Navigation Powder River, LLC (“NPRLLC”), became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. On July 31, 2025, NPRLLC and Phoenix Energy One, LLC (“Phoenix”) entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Phoenix PSA”) whereby NPRLLC agreed to sell to Phoenix certain oil and gas properties located in Campbell and Converse Counties. On September 10, 2025, NPRLLC filed a Petition against Phoenix in the Business Court of Texas (Navigation Powder River, LLC v. Phoenix Energy One, LLC, Eleventh Business District, Texas Business Court, Houston, TX) alleging a breach of contract by Phoenix Energy for its failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Phoenix PSA. The Company intends to vigorously pursue its claims in an effort to secure a favorable ruling from the court. If the matter is ultimately not resolved in the Company’s favor, the Company estimates that its potential loss will be the approximately $7.7 million purchase price consideration due from Phoenix under the Phoenix PSA, provided that NPRLLC would retain the oil and gas properties in full.

NOTE 10 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company granted an aggregate of 2,534,118 restricted stock awards to various employees and board members of the Company (see Note 11 below).

During the month of June 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of 489,967 shares of common stock in five separate sales at sales prices ranging between $0.716 to $0.801 per share via an ongoing “at the market offering” (the “ATM Offering”) for net proceeds of $354,000, which includes $11,000 in commission fees.

NOTE 12 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings (loss) per common share-basic is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per common share-diluted assumes the conversion of all potentially dilutive securities and is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, as defined above, outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities. Net income (loss) per common share-diluted considers the impact of potentially dilutive securities except in periods in which there is a loss because the inclusion of the potential common shares, as defined above, would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The calculation of earnings (loss) per share for the periods indicated below were as follows (amounts in thousands, except share and per share data):

	Three Months Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2025			2024		2025			2024
Numerator:
Net (loss) income	$	(325	)	$	2,915	$	(1,861	)	$	6,369

Denominator:
Weighted average common shares – basic		92,161,635			89,428,310		91,482,504			89,147,092

Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents:

Denominator:
Weighted average common shares – diluted		92,161,635			89,428,310		91,482,504			89,147,092

Earnings per share – diluted	$	(0.00	)	$	0.03	$	(0.02	)	$	0.07

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, share equivalents related to options to purchase 2,294,000, compared to 1,835,667, and 2,294,000 compared to 1,835,667, shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as the inclusion of such shares would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 23.7% and 0.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate was primarily due to recognized tax benefits in the current period compared to the impact of the full valuation allowance recorded in the prior period. As a result, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $578,000 for the period ended September 30, 2025.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) into law. The OBBBA includes, among other things, a permanent extension of 100% bonus depreciation for certain capital expenditures and modifications to the interest expense limitation under Section 163(j). In accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, the effects of the tax law are recognized in the period of enactment and therefore not reflected in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company is evaluating the potential tax impacts of the OBBBA on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 14 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and regularly evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of making key operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing operating performance. The Company operates in one reportable operating segment, oil and natural gas development, exploration and production. The Company’s oil and gas properties are managed as a whole rather than through discrete operating segments. Financial and operational information is tracked by geographic area; however, financial performance is assessed as a single enterprise and not on a geographic basis. Allocation of resources is made on a project basis across the Company’s entire portfolio without regard to geographic area, and considers among other things, return on investment, current market conditions, including commodity prices and market supply, availability of services and human resources, and contractual commitments. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer is its CODM.

The Company’s profitability measure is consolidated net income which is used to assess budgeted versus actual results and drives the Company’s operating cash flow. The CODM reviews significant consolidated forecasts and results of operations, including return on capital, operating expenses, and cash flow when making decisions such as the allocation of capital. The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company’s reportable operating segment are consistent with the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein.

NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Merger Agreement

On October 31, 2025 (the “Closing”) we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, with NP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, COG Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, North Peak Oil & Gas, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Century Oil and Gas Sub-Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and, solely for purposes of the specified provisions therein, North Peak Oil & Gas Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited partnership.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (a) First Merger Sub merged with and into NPOG, with NPOG being the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of PEDEVCO and (b) Second Merger Sub merged with and into COG, with COG being the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of PEDEVCO.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of each of the Acquired Companies were automatically converted into the right to receive an aggregate of 10,650,000 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of newly designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of PEDEVCO (the “Merger Preferred Shares”), par value $0.001 per share (the “PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock”), which shares were issued to Century Oil and Gas Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Century”) and North Peak. The PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of common stock of PEDEVCO, par value $0.001 per share (the “PEDEVCO common stock” and an “Automatic Conversion”), at a ratio of 10-to-1, immediately following the expiration of the twenty calendar day period commencing on the distribution of an information statement to PEDEVCO’s shareholders in accordance with Rule 14c-2 of Regulation 14C promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (the “Automatic Conversion Date”). The Merger Preferred Shares will convert on the Automatic Conversion Date into an aggregate of 106,500,000 shares of PEDEVCO common stock.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we agreed to prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event within 20 days after the Closing Date, in a form mutually agreeable to the parties to the Merger Agreement, an information statement pursuant to Schedule 14C of the Exchange Act (the “Information Statement”) and to use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any SEC comments on such Information Statement after receipt thereof, and to have the Information Statement cleared by the SEC staff as promptly as reasonably practicable.

On November 13, 2024, the Company, the Merger Subs, the Acquired Companies and North Peak, entered into a First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, pursuant to which each of the parties agreed that the Information Statement shall be prepared and filed with the SEC, as soon as reasonably practicable by the Company.

The acquisition will be accounted for as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to ASC 805. The initial accounting for the business combination is in process, which includes a valuation analysis to value the assets and liabilities assumed as a result of the transaction. As such, the impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements cannot be estimated at this time.

Shareholder Agreement

At the Closing, PEDEVCO entered into a Shareholder Agreement with Century, North Peak (together, the “Juniper Shareholder”), and, for certain limited provisions, Dr. Simon G. Kukes, the then Executive Chairman of PEDEVCO and The SGK 2018 Revocable Trust (a trust which Dr. Simon serves as trustee and beneficiary of). The agreement grants the Juniper Shareholder board nomination rights from the Closing until the Automatic Conversion Date, including the ability to designate one board nominee and one non-voting observer. Following the Automatic Conversion Date, the Board will consist of six directors, with Juniper’s nominees determined by their ownership percentage of Conversion Shares. The Juniper Shareholder may nominate up to three directors, including one independent director, with rights decreasing as ownership declines. The Juniper Shareholder also retains the right to remove or replace its directors, subject to Board approval and suitability requirements under SEC and NYSE standards. At least one Juniper Shareholder director will serve on each Board committee (except the audit committee), and will chair the Compensation and Governance Committees, subject to limited exceptions.

The Shareholder Agreement also grants the shareholders registration rights, requiring PEDEVCO to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock within 45 days of the Automatic Conversion Date, using Form S-3 or Form S-1 if necessary. Shareholders may request underwritten offerings of at least $10 million, subject to customary agreements and underwriter approval, with limits on frequency and “grace periods” for delays. Piggyback registration rights allow participation in offerings by the Company or other holders, subject to underwriter and priority rules. The Company will pay related expenses and indemnify shareholders against certain Securities Act of 1933, as amended liabilities. The Shareholder Agreement became effective at the Closing and will terminate according to its terms.

PIPE Offering

Concurrently with the Closing of the Mergers, certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) subscribed for and purchased an aggregate of 6,363,637 shares of PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock (the “PIPE Preferred Shares”), at a price per share equal to $5.50 per share (the “Purchase Price”), pursuant to their entry into Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Subscription Agreements in favor of the Company (the “Subscription Agreements”). When converted in full, the PIPE Preferred Shares will convert into 63,636,370 shares of PEDEVCO common stock (the “PIPE Conversion Shares”).

Second Amended and Restated Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

In preparation for the Closing, the Board of Directors approved the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations establishing the rights, preferences, and limitations of PEDEVCO’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) on October 29, 2025, which was filed with the Texas Secretary of State on October 31, 2025. A total of 17,013,637 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were designated. Except as required by law or the designation, Series A Preferred Stock holders have no voting rights, except the right to elect one director (the “Series A Director”) until the Automatic Conversion Date, with Josh Schmidt serving as the initial director.

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to certain protective provisions, requiring approval by a majority in interest of outstanding shares for actions such as amending governing documents, changing board composition, issuing new securities, major acquisitions or disposals, indebtedness above $500,000, executive appointments, and other material corporate actions. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are provided no dividend rights, and in the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up, Series A holders receive distributions pari passu with common shareholders, as if their shares were converted to common stock. The Series A Preferred Stock converts into PEDEVCO common stock automatically on the Automatic Conversion Date in a ratio of 10-for-1, subject to standard adjustments for splits, dividends, or recapitalizations.

Support Agreements

At the Closing, PEDEVCO entered into a Support Agreement with North Peak and certain officers, directors, and employees of the Company (collectively, the “Supporting Persons”), including Dr. Kukes, the SGK 2018 Revocable Trust, Mr. Schick, Mr. Moore, Mr. Paul Pinkston (Chief Accounting Officer), Mr. Crook, Mr. Howie (a then member of the Board), Mr. Scelfo (a then member of the Board), and Mr. Evans (a then member of the Board).

Until the Automatic Conversion occurs, they may not transfer, pledge, or encumber their PEDEVCO equity or act contrary to the agreement, except for transfers to controlled affiliates, estate planning vehicles, or bona fide gifts with transferee compliance. Support Agreements with Dr. Kukes and the SGK 2018 Revocable Trust also permit them to sell or transfer up to three million shares of PEDEVCO common stock without restriction.

Restricted Stock Awards

Contingent and effective upon the Closing, the Company granted (i) 2,000,000 shares of restricted PEDEVCO common stock under the Company’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2021 Plan”) to Mr. J.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

The A&R Credit Agreement has a maturity date of October 31, 2029. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for an initial borrowing base and aggregate elected commitments of $120 million and an aggregate maximum revolving credit amount of $250 million. The borrowing base is scheduled to be redetermined on December 1, 2025, and thereafter semiannually on or about April 1 and October 1 of each calendar year, commencing on April 1, 2026, and is subject to additional adjustments from time to time, including for certain asset sales, elimination or reduction of hedge positions and title defects.

The A&R Credit Agreement contains additional restrictive covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, incur additional liens, enter into mergers and consolidations, make or declare dividends, make investments and loans, engage in transactions with affiliates, sell assets and enter into certain hedging transactions. In addition, the A&R Credit Agreement is subject to customary events of default for a facility of this size and type, including a change in control. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the administrative agent may, with the consent of majority lenders, or shall, at the request of the majority lenders, accelerate any amounts outstanding and terminate lender commitments.

Borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement may be alternate base rate (“ABR”) loans or SOFR loans, at the election of the Company. Interest is payable quarterly for ABR loans and at the end of the applicable interest period for SOFR loans. SOFR loans bear interest at the forward- looking term rate based on the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”) for a one, three or six-month interest period plus an applicable margin ranging from 300 to 400 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. ABR loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of: (i) the prime rate as publicly announced by Citibank; (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 50 basis points; and (iii) the adjusted forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for a one-month interest period plus 100 basis points, plus an applicable margin ranging from 200 to 300 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. The Company also pays a commitment fee on unused commitment amounts under its facility of 37.5 basis points or 50 basis points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base utilized. The Company may repay any amounts borrowed under the A&R Credit Agreement prior to the maturity date without any premium or penalty, and is required to repay certain portions of the amounts borrowed under the A&R Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of certain events.

The A&R Credit Agreement provides for certain representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants of the Company, in each case as are customary for a facility of this size and type, including the maintenance of the following financial ratios: (i) a current ratio, which is the ratio of the Company’s consolidated current assets (including unused commitments under the A&R Credit Agreement and excluding non- cash derivative assets) to its consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term debt under the A&R Credit Agreement and non-cash derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and (ii) a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of Total Net Debt to EBITDAX (each as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement) for the prior four fiscal quarters, of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0.

The Company is required to hedge at least 75% of its projected proved developed producing reserves (PDP) oil and gas production at the time of entry into the A&R Credit Agreement, for the first 24 months of the agreement, and 50% of its projected PDP of oil and gas production for months 25-36. Afterward, within 60 days after each fiscal quarter, the Company must show it has hedged at least 50% of expected oil and gas production for the next 18 months. The Company may hedge crude oil, natural gas, or natural gas liquids (on a barrel of oil equivalent basis) to meet these requirements, but may not hedge more than 75% of anticipated production (on a barrel of oil equivalent basis) for any month.

Severance payments are conditioned on the applicable Executive signing a standard separation agreement, which includes customary releases and covenants, and any cash severance will be paid on the second regular payroll date following the release becoming effective. Equity acceleration will occur within fourteen days of the release, subject to applicable tax and plan timing rules. Each Employment Agreement also contains provisions intended to minimize excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, including a gross-up payment subject to a cap through December 31, 2026 (discussed above, except for Mr. Crook, whose agreement does not include a gross-up right) and a “best results” alternative if applicable.

Executive Offer Letters

In connection with the closing of the Mergers, the Company entered into offer letters with each of (a) Reagan Tuck (R.T.) Dukes; and (b) Robert “Bobby” J.

General Overview

We are an oil and gas company focused on the acquisition and development of oil and natural gas assets where the latest in modern drilling and completion techniques and technologies have yet to be applied. In particular, we focus on legacy proven properties where there is a long production history, well defined geology and existing infrastructure that can be leveraged when applying modern field management technologies. Our current properties are located in the San Andres formation of the Permian Basin situated in West Texas and eastern New Mexico (the “Permian Basin”) and in the Denver-Julesberg Basin (“D-J Basin”) in Colorado and Wyoming. As of September 30, 2025, we held approximately 14,105 net Permian Basin acres located in Chaves and Roosevelt Counties, New Mexico, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Energy Development Corp. (“PEDCO”), and which are operated by our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Ridgeway Arizona Oil Corp. (“RAZO”), which asset we refer to as our “Permian Basin Asset.” Also as of September 30, 2025, we held approximately 18,489 net D-J Basin acres located in Weld and Morgan Counties, Colorado, and Laramie County, Wyoming, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, PRH Holdings LLC (“PRH”), and which are operated by our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC (“Red Hawk”), which asset we refer to as our “D-J Basin Asset.” As of September 30, 2025, we held interests in 40 gross (34.5 net) wells in our Permian Basin Asset, of which 31 gross (22.1 net) wells are active producers, two are active injectors and two are active salt water disposal wells, all of which were held by PEDCO and operated by RAZO, and interests in 52 gross (5.7 net) wells in our D-J Basin Asset held by PRH, and 17 wells that had an after-payout interest. On April 3, 2025, and effective January 1, 2025, in order to reduce plugging and abandonment liabilities and recurring operational expenses, the Company sold all of its legacy 17 gross (15.4 net) operated wells in its D-J Basin Asset, with the Company retaining ownership in all its existing leasehold, which legacy wells no longer provided meaningful oil and gas production to the Company.

As discussed in greater detail above in “Part I – Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 15 - Subsequent Events”, on October 31, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company closed the transactions contemplated by an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 31, 2025 (the “Merger Agreement”), between the Company, NP Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“First Merger Sub”), COG Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Second Merger Sub,” and together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), North Peak Oil & Gas, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“NPOG”), Century Oil and Gas Sub-Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“COG,” and together with NPOG, the “Acquired Companies”), and, solely for purposes of the specified provisions therein, North Peak Oil & Gas Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited partnership (“North Peak”).

The Acquired Companies own substantial oil-weighted producing assets and significant leasehold interest in the D-J Basin and Powder River Basin located in Wyoming (the “Powder River Basins”).

Highlights of the Combined Company

	·	Positions PEDEVCO as a Premier Publicly-Traded Rockies-Focused Operator: The addition of substantial, oil-weighted, production and a large acreage position across the Northern DJ Basin and Powder River Basin (“PRB”), together with PEDEVCO’s existing DJ Basin production and acreage, transforms PEDEVCO into a premier publicly-traded Rockies-focused operator with approximately 320,000 net acres.

	·	Strong Cash Generation with Extensive Potential Drilling Inventory: The combined company generates significant cash flow, supported by its relatively high percentage oil production and competitive cost structure. With its large acreage position in the DJ Basin and Powder River Basin, combined with the multiple formations being developed in such areas, the Company has identified well over a decade of potential future drilling inventory on its existing position.

	·	Low-Cost Operator and Conservative Capital Structure: PEDEVCO remains a low-cost operator with low general and administrative expenses (G&A) and a conservative capital structure, which it expects to maintain in the future.

	·	Positioned for Organic Growth and Strategic Consolidation: PEDEVCO has thirty-two wells of varying working interest that have recently been completed or are scheduled to be completed in Q4 2025 and early Q1 2026, which are expected to generate material production growth for the Company over the next several months. Additionally, the Company plans to focus on strategic consolidation in its areas of focus with potential acquisitions possible, with the goal of delivering accretion and operational synergies to the benefit of shareholders, while maintaining a healthy capital structure.

Strategy

We believe that horizontal development and exploitation of conventional and unconventional oil and gas assets in the Rockies region including the D-J and Powder River Basins, represent among the most economic oil and natural gas plays in the U.S. We plan to optimize our existing assets and opportunistically seek additional acreage proximate to our currently held core acreage, as well as target other acquisitions in the Rockies region that fit our acquisition criteria. We believe there is a significant opportunity to build a leading oil and gas company in the Rockies region through both organic growth and acquisitions on terms that are more attractive than what we see in other oil and gas producing basins.

Specifically, we seek to increase stockholder value through the following strategies:

·	Grow production, cash flow and reserves by developing our operated drilling inventory and participating opportunistically in non-operated projects. We believe our extensive inventory of drilling locations in the D-J Basin, Powder River Basin, and Permian Basin, combined with our operating expertise, will enable us to continue to deliver accretive production, cash flow and reserves growth. We believe the location, concentration and scale of our core leasehold positions, coupled with our technical understanding of the reservoirs, will allow us to efficiently develop our core areas and to allocate capital to maximize the value of our resource base.

·	Apply modern drilling and completion techniques and technologies. We own and intend to acquire additional properties that have been historically underdeveloped and underexploited. We believe our attention to detail and application of the latest industry advances in horizontal drilling, completions design, frac intensity and locally optimal frac fluids will allow us to successfully develop our properties.

·	Optimization of well density and configuration. We own properties that are legacy oil fields characterized by widespread vertical and horizontal development and geological well control. We utilize the extensive geological, petrophysical and production data of such legacy properties to confirm optimal well spacing and configuration using modern reservoir evaluation methodologies.

·	Maintain a high degree of operational control and/or form partnerships which allow for a high degree of control over non-operated properties. We believe that by retaining operational control and/or by forming partnerships which require consent and input by all partners in major development projects, we can efficiently manage the timing and amount of our capital expenditures and operating costs, and thus key in on the optimal drilling and completions strategies, which we believe will generate higher recoveries and greater rates of return per well.

·	Leverage extensive deal flow, technical and operational experience to evaluate and execute accretive acquisition opportunities. Our management and technical teams have an extensive track record of forming and building oil and gas businesses. We also have significant expertise in successfully sourcing, evaluating and executing acquisition opportunities. We believe our understanding of the geology, geophysics and reservoir properties of potential acquisition targets will allow us to identify and acquire highly prospective acreage in order to grow our reserve base and maximize stockholder value.

·	Preserve financial flexibility to pursue organic and external growth opportunities. We intend to maintain a disciplined financial profile in order to provide flexibility across various commodity and market cycles.

Our strategy is to be the operator and/or a significant working interest owner, directly or through our subsidiaries and joint ventures, in the majority of our acreage so we can dictate the pace of development in order to execute our business plan. In areas we deem highly economic and do not have a high enough working interest to serve as operator, we seek to participate in projects if returns match or exceed other projects in our portfolio. Due to the fragmented nature of acreage positions in some of our holdings our ownership interest does not always allow for us to serve as operator. Our net capital expenditures for 2025 are estimated at the time of this filing to range between $42 million to $45 million. This estimate includes a range of $40 million to $43.5 million for drilling and completion costs on our Permian Basin and D-J Basin Assets (of which we have incurred approximately $16.7 million through September 30, 2025) and approximately $1.5 million in estimated capital expenditures for electronic submersible pump (ESP) purchases, rod pump conversions, recompletions, well cleanouts, leasing, facilities, remediation and other miscellaneous capital expenses (of which we have incurred approximately $0.5 million through September 30, 2025) . Approximately $5.7 million of capital was added to the 2025 budget after the closing of the Mergers. We anticipate that approximately 78% to 80% of our expected capital expenditures for 2025 will be allocated to development in the D-J Basin under our February 2025 joint development agreement entered into with a large private equity-backed D-J Basin operator and our Participation Agreement and Area of Mutual Interest (“AMI”) entered into in August 2024 with a private operator discussed below, and the Mergers. These estimates do not include expenditures for acquisitions or other projects that may arise but are not currently anticipated. We periodically review our capital expenditures and adjust our capital forecasts and allocations based on liquidity, drilling results, leasehold acquisition opportunities, partner non-consents, proposals from third party operators, and commodity prices, while prioritizing our financial strength and liquidity.

Table of Contents

We plan to continue to evaluate D-J Basin well proposals as received from third party operators and participate in those we deem most economic and prospective. If new proposals are received that meet our economic thresholds and require material capital expenditures, we have flexibility to move capital from our Permian Asset to our D-J Basin Asset, or vice versa, as our Permian Asset is 100% operated and nearly all held by production (“HBP”), allowing for flexibility of timing on development. Our 2025 development program is based upon our current outlook for the year and is subject to revision, if and as necessary, to react to market conditions, product pricing, contractor availability, requisite permitting, capital availability, partner non-consents, capital allocation changes between assets, acquisitions, divestitures and other adjustments determined by the Company in the best interest of its shareholders while prioritizing our financial strength and liquidity.

We expect that we will have sufficient cash available to meet our needs over the next 12 months after the filing of this report and in the foreseeable future, including to fund the remainder of our 2025 development program, discussed above, which cash we anticipate being available from (i) projected cash flow from our operations, (ii) existing cash on hand, (iii) public or private debt or equity financings, including up to $7.6 million in securities which we may sell in the future in “at the market offerings”, pursuant to a Sales Agreement entered into on December 20, 2024, with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Lead Agent”), and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP” and, together with the Lead Agent, the “Agents”)(discussed in greater detail below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing” (under which we have sold 489,967 shares to date), and (iv) funding through credit or loan facilities, including under the Company’s reserve-based lending facility (“RBL”) with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, which provides for an initial borrowing base of $120 million and an aggregate maximum revolving credit amount of $250 million (of which $87 million has been drawn down by the Company to date), as discussed in greater detail below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. In addition, we may seek additional funding through asset sales, farm-out arrangements, and credit facilities to fund potential acquisitions during the remainder of 2025.

Participations Agreements Related to D-J Basin Assets

On August 21, 2024, the Company, through PRH, entered into a five-year Participation Agreement with a large private equity-backed D-J Basin exploration and production company with extensive operational experience (“Joint Development Party”), whereby the Joint Development Party assigned to PRH a 30% interest in approximately 7,607 net acres of existing oil and gas leases and PRH assigned to the Joint Development Party a 70% interest in approximately 3,166 net acres of oil and gas leases, all located within the SW Pony Prospect in the D-J Basin in Weld County, Colorado. Additionally, to facilitate joint development of the SW Pony Prospect, the parties agreed to an approximately 16,900 gross acre Area of Mutual Interest wherein the Joint Development Party will transfer 30% of future interests acquired by the Joint Development Party in leaseholds to PRH, and PRH will transfer 70% of future interests acquired by PRH in leaseholds to the Joint Development Party, in each case at an acquisition cost proportionate to their respective interests. The assigned interests will be subject to an overriding royalty, such that the assigning party shall deliver to the other party leasehold interests with an 80% net revenue interest, and the parties agreed that the Joint Development Party will be the operator of the combined leaseholds. The Participation Agreement specifically addresses the Harlequin Wells, which are existing wells within the SW Pony Prospect, whereby PRH acquired a 30% undivided interest in six Harlequin Wells as part of the leasehold assignment. The Company correspondingly paid $8.6 million in capital costs related to these wells.

In February 2025, the Company entered into a joint development agreement (“Agreement”) with a large, Denver, Colorado-based private equity-backed D-J Basin E&P Company with extensive operational experience (“Operator”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to jointly participate in the expansion and development of the Company’s Roth and Amber DSUs located in Weld County, Colorado, with the Operator paying to the Company $1.7 million, the Company agreeing to amend the Company’s existing Roth and Amber DSUs to increase each to 1,600 acres and transferring operatorship of the DSUs to the Operator, and the parties agreeing to jointly participate in the development of the Roth and Amber DSUs.

How We Conduct Our Business and Evaluate Our Operations

Our use of capital for acquisitions and development allows us to direct our capital resources to what we believe to be the most attractive opportunities as market conditions evolve. We have historically acquired properties that we believe had significant appreciation potential. We intend to continue to acquire both operated and non-operated properties to the extent we believe they meet our return objectives.

Table of Contents

We will use a variety of financial and operational metrics to assess the performance of our oil and natural gas operations, including:

	·	production volumes;
	·	realized prices on the sale of oil and natural gas, including the effects of our commodity derivative contracts;
	·	oil and natural gas production and operating expenses;
	·	capital expenditures;
	·	general and administrative expenses;
	·	net cash provided by operating activities; and
	·	net income.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Market Conditions and Commodity Prices

Our financial results depend on many factors, particularly the price of natural gas and crude oil and our ability to market our production on economically attractive terms. Commodity prices are affected by many factors outside of our control, including changes in market supply and demand, which are impacted by, among other factors, weather conditions, inventory storage levels, basis differentials and other factors. As a result, we cannot accurately predict future commodity prices and, therefore, we cannot determine with any degree of certainty what effect increases or decreases in these prices will have on our production volumes or revenues. In addition to production volumes and commodity prices, finding and developing sufficient amounts of natural gas and crude oil reserves at economical costs are critical to our long-term success. We expect prices to remain volatile for the remainder of the year. For information about the impact of realized commodity prices on our natural gas and crude oil and condensate revenues, refer to “Results of Operations” below.

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The majority of the numbers presented below are rounded numbers and should be considered as approximate.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2025, vs. Three Months Ended September 30, 2024

We reported a net loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, of $0.3 million, or ($0.00) per common share, compared to net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 of $2.9 million or $0.03 per share. The decrease in net income of $3.2 million, when comparing the current period to the prior year’s period, was primarily due to a $0.8 million increase in total operating expense (which includes an impairment of oil and gas properties of $0.2 million), coupled with a decrease of revenues of $2.1 million and a $0.7 million gain in sale of oil and gas properties in the prior period offset with $0.2 million increased in other income (each discussed in more detail below) and an income tax benefit of $0.2 million (see Note 13 – Income Taxes, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements above under “Part I – Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements”).

Total crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, decreased $2.1 million, or 23%, to $7.0 million, compared to $9.1 million for the same period a year ago, due to an unfavorable price variance of $1.1 million, due to the average sales price for crude oil and NGL realized by the Company decreasing compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, coupled with an unfavorable volume variance of $1.0 million. Production volume decreased mainly due to the sale of 17 operated wells in the D-J Basin in April 2025, and natural declines from both our third-party D-J Basin wells and our Permian Basin wells along with our drilling partner, which were completed last period and initially produced at much higher rates.

Table of Contents

Lease Operating Expenses. The decrease of $0.5 million was primarily due to lower direct and variable lease operating expenses associated with the lower crude oil, natural gas and NGL volumes resulting from the production volume declines noted above.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion. The $1.0 million increase was primarily the result of additional capital spending related to lift conversions on five operated wells in our Permian Basin Asset and additional accretion expenses from our increased ARO liability from our compliance order with the New Mexico OCD.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties. The Company recorded an impairment of oil and gas properties of $0.2 million related to undeveloped leases representing 187 net acres in the D-J Basin that it allowed to expire or currently have no plans to drill prior to expiration, in the current period. There was no impairment in the prior period.

General and Administrative Expenses (excluding share-based compensation). The $0.1 million increase was primarily the result of additional payroll, audit fees and software licensing fees.

Share-Based Compensation. Share-based compensation, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the Statements of Operations, increased nominally due to the award of certain employee restricted stock and stock-based options. Share-based compensation is utilized for the purpose of conserving cash resources for use in field development activities and operations.

Gain on Sale of Oil and Gas Properties. The Company sold leasehold rights to 320 net acres located in the D-J Basin for net cash proceeds of $0.7 million and recognized a gain on sale of oil and gas properties of $0.7 million in the prior period. We had no sales of oil and gas properties during the current period.

Interest expense. Primarily relates to the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our RBL credit facility in the current period compared to no amortization cost in the prior period.

Interest Income and Other Income. Includes interest earned from our interest-bearing cash accounts and interest on our note receivable (in the prior period), which nominally decreased due to additional cash usage for our operations and no interest on the note receivable, which has been fully written-off. Other income in the current period is related to revenue and tax adjustments from a prior period from a third-party operating partner.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 vs. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024

We reported a net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 of $1.9 million, or ($0.02) per share, compared to net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 of $6.4 million or $0.07 per share. The decrease in net income of $8.2 million, when comparing the current period to the prior year’s period, was primarily due to the recognition of $1.4 million from a note receivable – credit loss related to the full write-off of the Tilloo Note receivable, corresponding accrued interest and posting closing adjustments owed to the Company related to the sale of our EOR subsidiary and other reductions to operating income of 7.9 million (a $6.3 million reduction in revenue, and a $0.9 million impairment to oil and gas properties and a $0.7 million of other operating expenses), offset by a net $0.3 million gain on sale on oil and gas properties when comparing periods and a $0.2 million increase in other income (each discussed in more detail below) and an income tax benefit of $0.6 million (see Note 13 – Income Taxes, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements above under “Part I – Financial Information—Item 1.

Total crude oil, natural gas and NGL revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, decreased $6.3 million, or 22%, to $22.7 million, compared to $29.0 million for the same period a year ago due to an unfavorable price variance of $3.2 million, due to the average sales price for crude oil realized by the Company decreasing compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, coupled with an unfavorable volume variance of $3.1 million. Production volume decreased mainly due to the sale of 17 operated wells in the D-J Basin in April 2025, and natural declines from both our third-party D-J Basin wells and our Permian Basin wells along with our drilling partner, which were completed last period and initially produced at much higher rates.

Lease Operating Expenses. The decrease of $0.3 million was primarily due to lower direct and variable lease operating expenses associated with the lower crude oil, natural gas and NGL volumes resulting from the production volume declines noted above.

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion. The $0.4 million increase was primarily the result of additional capital spending related to lift conversions on five operated wells in our Permian Basin Asset and additional accretion expenses from our increased ARO liability from our compliance order with the New Mexico OCD.

Impairment of Oil and Gas Properties. The Company recorded an impairment of oil and gas properties of $0.9 million related to undeveloped leases representing 1,034 net acres in the D-J Basin that it allowed to expire or currently have no plans to drill prior to expiration, in the current period. There was no impairment in the prior period.

General and Administrative Expenses (excluding share-based compensation). The $0.5 million increase was primarily the result of additional payroll, audit fees and software licensing fees.

Gain on Sale of Oil and Gas Properties. Gain on sale of oil and gas properties related to the Company’s sale of all of its legacy 17 gross (15.4 net) operated wells in its D-J Basin Asset, while the Company sold leasehold rights to 320 net acres located in the D-J Basin for net cash proceeds of $0.7 million and recognized a gain on sale of oil and gas properties of $0.7 million during the prior period

Table of Contents

Gain on Sale of Fixed Asset. Relates to the sale of a vehicle and the subsequent purchase of another vehicle in the prior period. We had no sales of fixed assets during the current period.

Note receivable – credit loss. Represents the full write-off our note receivable and accrued interest as well as a post-closing adjustments receivable related to the sale of our then wholly-owned subsidiary EOR Operating Company in November 2023.

Interest expense. Primarily relates to the amortization of deferred financing costs related to our RBL credit facility in the current period compared to no amortization cost in the prior period.

Interest Income and Other Income (Expense). Includes interest earned from our interest-bearing cash accounts and interest on our note receivable, which nominally decreased due to additional cash usage for our operations and no interest on the note receivable, which has been fully written-off in the current period. Other income in the current period is related to sales tax refunds and other expense in the prior period primarily relates to the subsequent disposition of a cash escrow bank balance related to the sale of our former wholly-owned subsidiary EOR Operating Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The primary sources of cash for the Company during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 were from $22.7 million in sales of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. The primary uses of cash were funds used for drilling, completion and operating costs.

Working Capital

At September 30, 2025, the Company’s total current assets of $16.1 million exceeded its total current liabilities of $14.6 million, resulting in a working capital surplus of $1.5 million, while at December 31, 2024, the Company’s total current assets of $13.2 million exceeded its total current liabilities of $6.9 million, resulting in a working capital surplus of $6.3 million. The $4.8 million decrease in our working capital surplus is primarily related to an increase in payables and expenses related to our current capital drilling program, when comparing the current period to the prior period (described above).

Financing

The Company has an ongoing $8.0 million offering of securities in an “at the market offering”, pursuant to which the Company may sell securities from time to time (the “ATM Offering”). During the month of June 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of 489,967 shares of common stock in five separate sales at a sales prices ranging between $0.716 to $0.801 per share via an ongoing “at the market offering” (for net proceeds of $354,000, which includes $11,000 in commission fees. The Company also incurred $214,000 in initial and subsequent legal and audit-related fees and expenses incurred in connection with the registration and placement of the ATM Offering. As of September 30, 2025, a total of $7.6 million is available for future sales of common stock under the ATM Offering.

The ATM Offering was made pursuant to the terms of that certain December 20, 2024, Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”), entered into with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Lead Agent”) and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“AGP”, and collectively with the Lead Agent, the “Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may sell securities from time to time in an “at the market offering” (the “ATM Offering”). The Company will pay the Lead Agent a commission of 3.0% of the gross sales price of any shares sold under the Sales Agreement. The Company also agreed to reimburse the Agents for their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in an amount not to exceed $75,000, in connection with entering into the Sales Agreement and for the Agents’ reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses related to quarterly maintenance of the Sales Agreement on a quarterly basis in an amount not to exceed $5,000.

Table of Contents

On October 31, 2025, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated that prior senior secured revolving credit agreement entered into on September 11, 2024 (the “Original Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”). The A&R Credit Agreement has a maturity date of October 31, 2029. The A&R Credit Agreement provides for an initial borrowing base and aggregate elected commitments of $120 million and an aggregate maximum revolving credit amount of $250 million. The Company has drawn down $87 million under the Facility as of the filing date of this Report. The A&R Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants of the Company for a facility of that size and type, including prohibiting the Company from creating any indebtedness without the consent of the Lenders, subject to certain exceptions, and the maintenance of the following financial ratios: (i) a current ratio, which is the ratio of the Company’s consolidated current assets (including unused commitments under the A&R Credit Agreement and excluding non- cash derivative assets) to its consolidated current liabilities (excluding the current portion of long-term debt under the A&R Credit Agreement and non-cash derivative liabilities), of not less than 1.0 to 1.0; and (ii) a leverage ratio, which is the ratio of Total Net Debt to EBITDAX (each as defined in the A&R Credit Agreement) for the prior four fiscal quarters, of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. The Company is required to hedge at least 75% of its projected proved developed producing reserves (PDP) oil and gas production at the time of entry into the A&R Credit Agreement, for the first 24 months of the agreement, and 50% of its projected PDP of oil and gas production for months 25-36. Afterward, within 60 days after each fiscal quarter, the Company must show it has hedged at least 50% of expected oil and gas production for the next 18 months. The Company may hedge crude oil, natural gas, or natural gas liquids (on a barrel of oil equivalent basis) to meet these requirements, but may not hedge more than 75% of anticipated production (on a barrel of oil equivalent basis) for any month.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have included EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this Report as supplements to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) measures of performance to provide investors with an additional financial analytical framework which management uses, in addition to historical operating results, as the basis for financial, operational and planning decisions and present measurements that third parties have indicated are useful in assessing the Company and its results of operations. “EBITDA” represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. “Adjusted EBITDA” represents EBITDA, less share-based compensation, impairment of oil and gas properties, gain on sale of oil and gas properties, gain on sale of fixed asset and note receivable – credit loss. Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items that we believe affect the comparability of operating results and can exclude items that are generally non-recurring in nature or whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because we believe they provide additional useful information to investors due to the various noncash items during the period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures, or contractual commitments; EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on debt or cash income tax payments. For example, although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. Additionally, other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than PEDEVCO Corp. does, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. You should not consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. The Company’s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that future results will be unaffected by unusual or nonrecurring items. We compensate for these limitations by providing a reconciliation of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. We encourage investors and others to review our business, results of operations, and financial information in their entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view these non-GAAP measures in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Oil and Gas Properties, Successful Efforts Method. The successful efforts method of accounting is used for oil and gas exploration and production activities. Under this method, all costs for development wells, support equipment and facilities, and proved mineral interests in oil and gas properties are capitalized. Geological and geophysical costs are expensed when incurred. Costs of exploratory wells are capitalized as exploration and evaluation assets pending determination of whether the wells find proved oil and gas reserves. Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, (i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made). Prices include consideration of changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on escalations based upon future conditions.

Exploratory wells in areas not requiring major capital expenditures are evaluated for economic viability within one year of completion of drilling. The related well costs are expensed as dry holes if it is determined that such economic viability is not attained. Otherwise, the related well costs are reclassified to oil and gas properties and subject to impairment review. For exploratory wells that are found to have economically viable reserves in areas where major capital expenditure will be required before production can commence, the related well costs remain capitalized only if additional drilling is under way or firmly planned. Otherwise, the related well costs are expensed as dry holes.

Exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred subsequent to the acquisition of an exploration asset in a business combination are accounted for in accordance with the policy outlined above.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization of capitalized oil and gas properties is calculated on a field-by-field basis using the unit of production method. Lease acquisition costs are amortized over the total estimated proved developed and undeveloped reserves and all other capitalized costs are amortized over proved developed reserves. Costs specific to developmental wells for which drilling is in progress or uncompleted are capitalized as wells in progress and not subject to amortization until completion and production commences, at which time amortization on the basis of production will begin.

Revenue Recognition. The Company’s revenue is comprised entirely of revenue from exploration and production activities. The Company’s oil is sold primarily to marketers, gatherers, and refiners. Natural gas is sold primarily to interstate and intrastate natural-gas pipelines, direct end-users, industrial users, local distribution companies, and natural-gas marketers. NGLs are sold primarily to direct end-users, refiners, and marketers. Payment is generally received from the customer in the month following delivery.

Contracts with customers have varying terms, including month-to-month contracts, and contracts with a finite term. The Company recognizes sales revenues for oil, natural gas, and NGLs based on the amount of each product sold to a customer when control transfers to the customer. Generally, control transfers at the time of delivery to the customer at a pipeline interconnect, the tailgate of a processing facility, or as a tanker lifting is completed. Revenue is measured based on the contract price, which may be index-based or fixed, and may include adjustments for market differentials and downstream costs incurred by the customer, including gathering, transportation, and fuel costs.

Revenues are recognized for the sale of the Company’s net share of production volumes. Sales on behalf of other working interest owners and royalty interest owners are not recognized as revenues.

Stock-Based Compensation. Pursuant to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee service, we utilize the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock option awards at the date of grant, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including expected volatility and expected life. Changes in these inputs and assumptions can materially affect the measure of estimated fair value of our share-based compensation. These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on, or determined from, external data and other assumptions may be derived from our historical experience with stock-based payment arrangements. The appropriate weight to place on historical experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances. We estimate volatility by considering historical stock volatility. We have opted to use the simplified method for estimating expected term, which is equal to the midpoint between the vesting period and the contractual term.

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity's effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as information related to income taxes paid to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. This ASU will be effective for the annual period ending December 31, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impacts of adoption of this ASU.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K (§ 229.305(e)), the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item as it is a “smaller reporting company,” as defined by Rule 229.10(f)(1).

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, as appropriate, in order to allow timely decisions in connection with required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)(the Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”)(the Principal Financial/Accounting Officer), we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CAO concluded as of September 30, 2025, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not designed at a reasonable assurance level and were not effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management's conclusion was the result of the material weaknesses identified during the preparation of the Company's year-end consolidated financial statements and reported in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, that have not yet been remediated as of September 30, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2025, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, including any corrective actions regarding significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings

Although we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business, we are not currently a party to any material legal proceeding. In addition, we are not aware of any material legal or governmental proceedings against us or contemplated to be brought against us.

Environmental Contingencies

The nature of the oil and gas business carries with it certain environmental risks for us and our subsidiaries. We have implemented various policies, programs and procedures to attempt to reduce and mitigate such environmental risks.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Commission on October 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”), under the heading “Item 1A. Risk Factors”, except as discussed below, and investors are encouraged to review such risk factors in the Annual Report, and below, prior to making an investment in the Company. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

Current PEDEVCO stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest in PEDEVCO after the Automatic Conversion Date compared to their current ownership and will exercise less influence over management.

Based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of PEDEVCO common stock as of the date of this Report, it is expected that, on a fully-diluted basis, current PEDEVCO stockholders are collectively expected to own approximately 47%, and certain affiliates of Juniper are collectively expected to own approximately 53%, of the outstanding shares of PEDEVCO common stock following the Automatic Conversion Date. As a result, current PEDEVCO stockholders will own a smaller percentage of the combined company than they currently own of PEDEVCO, and as a result will have less influence on the management and policies of PEDEVCO post-automatic conversion than they now have on the management and policies of PEDEVCO, as the case may be.

Securities class action and derivative lawsuits may be filed against us, or against our directors, challenging the Mergers.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into and/or closed acquisition, merger or other similar agreements. Mergers like the Mergers are frequently subject to litigation or other legal proceedings, including actions alleging that our Board breached their fiduciary duties to our stockholders by entering into and/or closing the Merger Agreement. We cannot provide assurance that such litigation or other legal proceedings will not be brought. If litigation or other legal proceedings are in fact brought against us, or against our Board, we will defend against it, but might not be successful in doing so. An adverse outcome in such matters, as well as the costs and efforts of a defense even if successful, could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operation or financial position of us or the combined company, including through the possible diversion of company resources or distraction of key personnel.

Combining the businesses of PEDEVCO, the Acquired Companies may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected and the combined company may fail to realize the anticipated synergies and other benefits of the Mergers, which may adversely affect the combined company’s business results and negatively affect the value of our common stock.

PEDEVCO and each of the Acquired Companies have operated prior to the closing of the Mergers, independently. The success of the Mergers will depend on, among other things, the ability of PEDEVCO and the Acquired Companies to combine their businesses in a manner that facilitates growth opportunities and realizes expected cost savings. We entered into the Merger Agreement because we believe that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of our stockholders and that combining the businesses of PEDEVCO and the Acquired Companies will produce benefits as well as cost savings and other cost and capital expenditure synergies.

Table of Contents

PEDEVCO and the Acquired Companies must successfully combine their respective businesses in a manner that permits these benefits to be realized. For example, the following issues, among others, must be addressed in integrating the operations of the companies in order to realize the anticipated benefits of the Mergers:

	·	combining the companies’ operations and corporate functions;

	·	combining the businesses of PEDEVCO and the Acquired Companies and meeting the capital requirements of the combined company, in a manner that permits the combined company to achieve any cost savings or other synergies anticipated to result from the Mergers, the failure of which would result in the anticipated benefits of the Mergers not being realized in the time frame currently anticipated or at all;

	·	integrating personnel from the companies;

	·	integrating and unifying our reserves and the development of our new PUDs;

	·	identifying and eliminating underperforming or uncertain wells;

	·	harmonizing the companies’ operating practices, employee development and compensation programs, internal controls and other policies, procedures and processes;

	·	maintaining existing agreements with customers, suppliers, distributors and vendors, avoiding delays in entering into new agreements with prospective customers, suppliers, distributors and vendors, and leveraging relationships with such third parties for the benefit of the combined company;

	·	addressing possible differences in business backgrounds, corporate cultures and management philosophies;

	·	consolidating the companies’ administrative and information technology infrastructure;

	·	coordinating distribution and marketing efforts; and

	·	effecting actions that may be required in connection with obtaining regulatory or other governmental approvals.

It is possible that the integration process could result in the loss of key employees of PEDEVCO or the Acquired Companies, the disruption of either PEDEVCO’s or the Acquired Companies’ ongoing businesses, inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies, unexpected integration issues, higher than expected integration costs and an overall post-completion integration process that takes longer than originally anticipated. In addition, the actual integration may result in additional and unforeseen expenses. If the combined company is not able to adequately address integration challenges, we may be unable to successfully integrate operations and the anticipated benefits of the integration plan may not be realized.

In addition, the combined company must achieve the anticipated growth and cost savings without adversely affecting current revenues and investments in future growth. If the combined company is not able to successfully achieve these objectives, the anticipated synergies and other benefits of the Mergers may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected. Additionally, we may inherit from the Acquired Companies legal, regulatory, and other risks that occurred prior to the Mergers, whether known or unknown to us, which may be material to the combined company. Actual growth, cost and capital expenditure synergies and other cost savings, if achieved, may be lower than what we expect and may take longer to achieve than anticipated. Moreover, at times the attention of the combined company’s management and resources may be focused on the integration of the businesses of the company and diverted from day-to-day business operations or other opportunities that may have been beneficial to such company, which may disrupt the combined company’s ongoing businesses.

Table of Contents

An inability to realize the full extent of the anticipated benefits of the Mergers, as well as any delays encountered in the integration process, could have an adverse effect upon the revenues, level of expenses and operating results of the combined company, which may adversely affect the value of the PEDEVCO common stock following the consummation of the Mergers. Moreover, if the combined company is unable to realize the full strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Mergers, PEDEVCO stockholders will have experienced substantial dilution of their ownership interests without receiving any commensurate benefit, or only receiving part of the commensurate benefit to the extent the combined company is able to realize only part of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Mergers.

The combined company may not be able to retain suppliers or distributors, or suppliers or distributors may seek to modify contractual relationships with the combined company, which could have an adverse effect on the combined company’s business and operations. Third parties may terminate or alter existing contracts or relationships with the combined company.

As a result of the Mergers, the combined company may experience impacts on relationships with suppliers and distributors that may harm the combined company’s business and results of operations. Certain suppliers or distributors may seek to terminate or modify contractual obligations following the Mergers whether or not contractual rights are triggered as a result of the Mergers. There can be no guarantee that customers, suppliers and distributors will remain with or continue to have a relationship with the combined company or do so on the same or similar contractual terms following the Mergers. If any customers, suppliers or distributors seek to terminate or modify contractual obligations or discontinue the relationship with the combined company, then the combined company’s business and results of operations may be harmed. If the combined company’s suppliers were to seek to terminate or modify an arrangement with the combined company, then the combined company may be unable to procure necessary supplies from other suppliers in a timely and efficient manner and on acceptable terms, or at all.

Our hedging activities may prevent us from fully benefiting from increases in crude oil, natural gas and NGLs prices and may expose us to other risks, including counterparty risk, and our future production may not be sufficiently protected from any declines in commodity prices by our existing or future hedging arrangements.

We use financial derivative instruments (primarily financial fixed price swaps and collar contracts) to hedge the impact of fluctuations in commodity prices on our results of operations and cash flows. As of the date of this Report we have hedged 2,512,600 Bbls of oil and 2,312,905 MMBTUs of natural gas. Such hedges may prevent us from fully realizing the benefits of increases in commodity prices above the prices established by our hedging contracts. In addition, our hedging activities may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances in which the counterparties to our hedging contracts fail to perform under the contracts.

After the Automatic Conversion Date, affiliates of Juniper will have the ability to control or significantly influence all matters submitted to the combined company’s stockholders for approval.

After the Automatic Conversion Date, affiliates of Juniper, will, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately 53% of the combined company’s outstanding shares of capital stock, on a fully diluted basis. As a result, if these stockholders were to choose to act together, they would be able to control or significantly influence all matters submitted to the combined company’s stockholders for approval, as well as the combined company’s management and affairs. As such, affiliates of Juniper will be able to control the outcome of all matters requiring a stockholder vote, including the election of directors, the adoption of amendments to our certificate of formation or bylaws and the approval of mergers and other significant corporate transactions, subject to requirements under Texas law which require the approval of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock.

Additionally, from the Closing Date until the Automatic Conversion Date the holders of PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of PEDEVCO’s Board. If a Preferred Director position becomes vacant, a majority in interest in the holders of the PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock may fill the vacancy. Any preferred director so elected or appointed serves for the remainder of the original term, subject to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal. A preferred director may be removed, with or without cause, only by the affirmative vote or written consent of the majority in interest of holders of such Series A Preferred Stock. The initial preferred director is Josh Schmidt.

Finally, under the Shareholder Agreement, from and after the Automatic Conversion Date, the Board of Directors of the Company will consist of six directors, or a greater number as approved in accordance with the Company’s organizational documents. On that date, the Juniper Shareholder will have the right to nominate up to three directors (the “Juniper Directors”), including at least one independent director. The Juniper Shareholder’s nomination rights will depend on its, together with its affiliates’, ownership of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock on the Automatic Conversion Date, as determined on the applicable date of determination as measured relative to the total number of shares of PEDEVCO common stock issued and outstanding on the Automatic Conversion Date (“Juniper Beneficial Ownership”), as follows: if Juniper Beneficial Ownership is 50% or more, it may nominate three Juniper Directors including one which must be an independent director; if Juniper Beneficial Ownership is between 30% and 49.9%, it may nominate two Juniper Directors; if Juniper Beneficial Ownership is between 10% and 29.9%, it may nominate one Juniper Director; and if Juniper Beneficial Ownership is less than 10%, it loses the right to nominate any Juniper Directors. Finally, one independent director will be mutually agreed in writing by the Juniper Shareholder and the Governance Committee, excluding current Juniper Directors on the committee.

The nomination of such Juniper appointed directors is subject to such persons not being prohibited from serving as a member of the Board. In the event any Juniper director ceases serving as a member of the Board of PEDEVCO for any reason, the Juniper Shareholder has the right to designate a replacement, and subject to certain customary exceptions, the Board is required to take all reasonable actions within its control to appoint such replacement person as a member of the Board of the Company to fill such vacancy. The Juniper Shareholder also has the right to remove any Juniper appointed director at any time for any reason.

In some instances Juniper may have interests different than the rest of our stockholders. The influence or control of our company by such persons may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of other stockholders. Additionally, the interests of such persons may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are adverse to other stockholders.

The PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock provides the holders thereof certain rights which may have a material adverse effect on our stock price and operations.

As long as any PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, PEDEVCO and its subsidiaries may not, without approval of holders of a majority in interest of the outstanding shares of the PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock (a “Majority In Interest”), voting as a single class: (a) amend the governing documents of such entity (including as to PEDEVCO, the designation of the PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock), or other governing documents in a way that adversely affects rights of the holders of PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock; (b) change the size or composition of the board or the committees of the board of such entity; (c) alter the line or nature of the business of such entity; (d) issue securities (including securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for equity) ranking pari passu with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock, or convertible into PEDEVCO common stock (except under approved equity plans); (e) issue securities of the subsidiaries of PEDEVCO; (f) repurchase or redeem equity, except between wholly-owned subsidiaries or under permitted employee plans; (g) declare or pay dividends or similar distributions, except within wholly-owned subsidiaries; (h) effect any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, sale of substantially all assets, or other change of control of such entity; (i) adopt any plan of liquidation or dissolution of such entity; (j) complete acquisitions, dispositions, or divestitures exceeding $500,000 in any fiscal year; (k) make or commit to capital expenditures exceeding $250,000, other than in accordance with a budget then in effect, (l) incur indebtedness or issue debt over $500,000, other than in the ordinary course; (m) enter any joint venture or similar alliance; (n) hire, terminate, or designate executive officers, or appoint or remove the board chair; (o) enter into or amend any transaction with shareholders, affiliates, or related parties; (p) adopt or materially modify incentive or equity plans (except existing ones); (q) change auditors or such entity’s fiscal year; (r) commence or settle litigation involving more than $500,000; (s) adopt any shareholder rights plan or “poison pill”; (t) exchange, reclassify, or cancel any PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock shares; (u) create exchange rights into PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock shares; (v) alter the rights or preferences of the PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock to adversely affect the rights thereof; (w) amend or modify any Support Agreement; or (x) announce or commit to any of the foregoing.

Additionally, until the Automatic Conversion Date, the holders of PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one member of PEDEVCO’s Board. If a Preferred Director position becomes vacant, a Majority in Interest may fill the vacancy. Any Preferred Director so elected or appointed serves for the remainder of the original term, subject to prior death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, or removal. A Preferred Director may be removed, with or without cause, only by the affirmative vote or written consent of the Majority in Interest. The initial Preferred Director is [Josh Schmidt].

The rights and preferences of the PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock holders could adversely affect the value and trading price of the PEDEVCO common stock. As discussed above the PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock includes certain approval and protective provisions, including the right to appoint one member of our board of directors. These rights give the holders of the PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock significant influence over matters that may be important to PEDEVCO common stock holders, including corporate actions and fundamental business decisions. The interests of the holders of the PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock may differ from or conflict with those of holders of the PEDEVCO common stock, which could result in decisions that are not aligned with the interests of the PEDEVCO common stock holders. As a result, the market price of the PEDEVCO common stock may be lower than it would be if we did not have PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock outstanding or if PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock did not include such rights and protections. In addition, the presence of PEDEVCO Series A Preferred Stock with such rights could make the PEDEVCO common stock less attractive to investors or limit the potential appreciation of the PEDEVCO common stock relative to companies that do not have preferred stock with similar rights.

The combined company may be exposed to increased litigation, including stockholder litigation, which could have an adverse effect on the combined company’s business and operations.

The combined company may be exposed to increased litigation from stockholders, suppliers and other third parties due to the combination of PEDEVCO’s business and the Acquired Companies business following the Mergers. Such litigation may have an adverse impact on the combined company’s business and results of operations or may cause disruptions to the combined company’s operations. In addition, in the past, stockholders have initiated class action lawsuits against oil and gas companies following periods of volatility in the market prices of these companies’ stock. Such litigation, if instituted against the combined company, could cause the combined company to incur substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on the combined company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

A future reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our common stock.

On October 30, 2025, (a) Dr. Simon Kukes, the then Executive Chairman of PEDEVCO; (b) The SGK 2018 Revocable Trust, a family trust of which Dr. Kukes, serves as trustee and beneficiary; (c) J. Douglas Schick, the Chief Executive Officer, President and member of the Board; (d) Clark R. Moore, the Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of PEDEVCO; (e) Paul A. Pinkston, the Chief Accounting Officer of PEDEVCO; (f) Jody D. Crook, the Chief Commercial Officer of PEDEVCO; (g) John J. Scelfo, a then member of the Board; (h) H. Douglas Evans, a then member of the Board; and (i) John K. Howie, a member of the Board (collectively, the “Majority Shareholders”), who collectively held more than two-thirds of the combined voting power of the total issued and outstanding PEDEVCO common stock, executed a written consent in lieu of a special meeting of shareholders of PEDEVCO (the “Written Consent”), approving the Merger Agreement and the Mergers, and the shares of PEDEVCO common stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shares issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement and Subscription Agreement, and among other things, the grant of discretionary authority to the Company’s Board of Directors to (A) approve an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Formation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding shares of PEDEVCO common stock, by a ratio of between one-for-ten to one-for-twenty, inclusive, with the exact ratio to be set at a whole number to be determined by our Board or a duly authorized committee thereof in its discretion, at any time after approval of the amendment and prior to October 30, 2026 (the “Reverse Stock Split”), and (B) determine whether to arrange for the disposition of fractional interests by shareholder entitled thereto, to pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share of PEDEVCO common stock as of the time when those entitled to receive such fractions are determined, or to entitle shareholder to receive from the Corporation’s transfer agent, in lieu of any fractional share, the number of shares of PEDEVCO common stock rounded up to the next whole number (the “Reverse Split Authority”). Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC under the Exchange Act, an information statement will be filed with the SEC and mailed or provided to the shareholders of the Company in accordance with the Exchange Act and the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, and the corporate actions discussed above, will become effective no earlier than the 21st day following the mailing date of such information statement.

Table of Contents

In the event the Board of Directors moves forward with a Reverse Stock Split in the future, the liquidity of the shares of the PEDEVCO common stock may be affected adversely by the Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split may increase the number of stockholders who own odd lots (less than 100 shares) of the PEDEVCO common stock, creating the potential for such stockholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty affecting such sales.

Our Reverse Stock Split may not result in a proportional increase in the per share price of the PEDEVCO common stock.

The Majority Shareholders authorized the Board to affect a Reverse Stock Split in a ratio of between 1-for-10 and 1-for-20. The effect of the Reverse Stock Split on the market price for the PEDEVCO common stock cannot be accurately predicted. In particular, we cannot assure you that the proportionate increase in the prices of the PEDEVCO common stock immediately after the Reverse Stock Split from the prices for shares of the PEDEVCO common stock immediately before the Reverse Stock Split will be maintained for a substantial period of time. It is not uncommon for the market price of a company’s common stock to decline in the period following a Reverse Stock Split. If the market price of the PEDEVCO common stock declines following the Reverse Stock Split, the percentage decline may be greater than would occur in the absence of a Reverse Stock Split. The market price of the PEDEVCO common stock may also be affected by other factors which may be unrelated to the Reverse Stock Split or the number of shares outstanding.

Moreover, because some investors may view the Reverse Stock Split negatively, we cannot assure you that the Reverse Stock Split will not adversely impact the market price of the PEDEVCO common stock. Accordingly, our total market capitalization after the Reverse Stock Split may be lower than the market capitalization before the Reverse Stock Split.

Change in Principal Accounting/Financial Officer

On, and effective on, November 13, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company re-appointed Mr. Paul Pinkston, Chief Accounting Officer of the Company, as Principal Accounting Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Pinkston had previously served in those roles through the closing of the Mergers on October 31, 2025. The Board of Directors determined that Mr. Pinkston had more familiarity with the Company’s pre-Mergers operations and therefore was more suited to serve in the role of Principal Accounting Officer and Principal Financial Officer in connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, then Robert “Bobby” Long, who was appointed as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company on October 31, 2025, had been serving as Principal Accounting Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Company since October 31, 2025. Effective on November 13, 2025, Mr. Long stepped down from the positions of Principal Accounting Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Company in connection with Mr. Pinkston’s re-appointment to those positions, but continued to serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Also on November 13, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company re-appointed Robert “Bobby” Long, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company, as Principal Accounting Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Company, effective on the business day following the filing date of this Report. Upon Mr. Long’s re-appointment as Principal Accounting Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the Company, Mr. Pinkston will once again step down from such positions, but will continue to serve as Chief Accounting Officer of the Company.

Messrs. Pinkston and Long are not party to any material plan, contract or arrangement (whether or not written) with the Company, except for Indemnification Agreements with the Company in the Company’s customary form, an Offer Letter dated December 1, 2018, between the Company and Mr. Pinkston, described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the SEC on July 11, 2025 (the “Proxy Statement”), which information is incorporated by reference herein, and an Offer Letter dated October 30, 2025, between the Company and Mr. Long, as described in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on November 3, 2025 (the “November Form 8-K”), which is incorporated by reference herein. Mr. Long also subscribed to purchase shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company in the Company’s recent October 2025 PIPE financing, pursuant to his entry into a subscription agreement with the Company, also discussed in greater detail in the November Form 8-K. There are no arrangements or understandings between Messrs. Pinkston and Long and any other person pursuant to which Messrs. Pinkston and Long were selected to serve as an officer of the Company, nor are Messrs. Pinkston and Long a participant in any related party transaction required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, except as to Mr. Pinkston, those that are described under, or incorporated by reference in, “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” in the Proxy Statement and as to Mr. Long, in connection with his participation in the PIPE financing, as discussed in the November Form 8-K. There are no family relationships between any director or executive officer of the Company, including Messrs. Pinkston and Long.

Biographical information for Messrs. Pinkston (age 57) and Long (age 49), is provided in the Proxy Statement under “Executive Officers-—Paul A. Pinkston, Chief Accounting Officer” and in the November Form 8-K under “Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers—Appointment of New Executive Officers”, respectively, which information and disclosures are incorporated by reference herein.

(c) Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans.

Our directors and executive officers may from time to time enter into plans or other arrangements for the purchase or sale of our shares that are intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or may represent a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement under the Exchange Act. During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, none of the Company’s directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f)) adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of Company securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement”.
