Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 28, 2025) - Arrow Exploration Corp. (AIM: AXL) (TSXV: AXL) ("Arrow" or the "Company"), the high-growth operator with a portfolio of assets across key Colombian hydrocarbon basins, is pleased to announce the filing of its Interim Condensed (unaudited) Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, which are available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and will also be available shortly on Arrow's website at www.arrowexploration.ca.

Q2 2025 Highlights:

(1)Non-IFRS measures - see "Non-IFRS Measures" section within the MD&A

Post Period End Highlights:

  • Spud the first horizontal well, RCE HZ-10, in the Rio Cravo Este (RCE) field in the Tapir block.

  • RCE HZ-10, CN HZ12 and AB HZ5 were brought on production.

Current Production

The Company is currently producing approximately 4,200 boe/d with two additional wells expected to be brought on production in the next two weeks, CN HZ13 targeting the Ubaque formation and a recompletion at AB3 targeting the C7 formation.

Tapir Water Disposal Infrastructure

In Q2, the Company paid $0.8 million on trucking water. During Q2 the Company invested significantly in water disposal infrastructure, of which $1.7 million is included in operating costs for the quarter. This investment includes conversion work and stimulation of the AB-2, CN-4 and CN-5 water disposal wells. The water handling infrastructure is now operational and expected to deliver a significant reduction in water handling costs and support higher production rates. The Tapir block water disposal capability is now over 130,000 barrels of water per day. With the water handling infrastructure in place, the Company is turning up production in current wells.

Tapir Extension and COR-39 Block

The Company is engaged in continuing discussions with authorities on the Tapir block extension. Arrow considers that all requirements for the extension have been met. Furthermore, the Company is in discussions with regulatory bodies on the termination of COR-39 Block licence obligations. Discussions with authorities are going well and Arrow will keep the market updated in future releases.

Upcoming Drilling

At this time, Arrow is operating one rig and has dismissed the second rig. The Company has spud the CN HZ 13 well, which is expected to be on production in the beginning of September. Thereafter, the Company expects to drill its first exploration well at Mateguafa Oeste. If the vertical exploration well at Mateguafa Oeste is successful, the Company plans to drill four additional horizonal wells on the prospect. If the Mateguafa Oeste 1 well is not successful, the rig will move to Mateguafa Attic to drill three low risk vertical wells targeting the C7. The Company has the option to engage a second rig to drill the other prospects if Mateguafa Oeste 1 is successful. The total budgeted capital expenditure planned for 2025 is approximately $50 million, net to Arrow, of which $24 million was spent in H1 2025.

Marshall Abbott, CEO of Arrow Exploration Corp., commented:

"The second quarter of 2025 has been very busy for Arrow. The two horizontal development wells at Alberta Llanos have highlighted the potential for horizontal development in the Ubaque in other areas of the Tapir block. The Company plans to further test this potential with an exploration well at Mateguafa Oeste in Q3 and is putting the infrastructure in place for exploration wells at Mateguafa Attic, Capullo and Icaco, all of which could have a material impact on the Company."

"The Company continues to work with regulatory authorities on the extension of the Tapir block. The Company considers it has met all of the requirements for an extension and discussions with regulatory officials continue to progress."

"In Q2, Arrow made large investments in the future drilling programs of the Company. The Tapir South 3D seismic program was completed during the quarter, at a net cost of $3 million, showing additional prospects and drilling opportunities. The Company is expected to test one of these prospects, Icaco, in early 2026. During Q2 the company also completed the road joining the CN pad with the Mateguafa Oeste, Capullo and Mateguafa Attic prospects at a net cost of approximately $2 million."

"The focus for the remainder of 2025 will be to explore low risk new prospects in the Tapir block, starting with Mateguafa Oeste, which has the potential to be larger than the Carrizales Norte field. The pad and cellars for Mateguafa Oeste have been completed and the first well is expected to be spud in late Q3. Arrow looks forward to updating the market post drilling the first well at Mateguafa Oeste."

DISCUSSION OF OPERATING RESULTS

During Q2 2025, the Company's production has decreased due to natural declines and increasing water cuts across its fields in the Tapir block. Production growth is expected to resume since the Company has developed water handling capacity and executes on the 2025 budget. Nevertheless, the Company has maintained good operating results and healthy EBITDA.

The Company's average production for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 3,768 boe/d which consisted of crude oil production in Colombia of 3,493 bbl/d, natural gas production of 1,587 Mcf/d, and minor amounts of natural gas liquids. The Company's Q2 2025 production was 48% higher than its Q2 2024 production and 7% lower than Q1 2025 due to natural declines and water handling capacity.

DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL RESULTS

During Q2 2025 the Company experienced a reduction in both crude oil and gas prices, as summarized below:

The operating netbacks of the Company have been affected in 2025 due to increased water production from its Colombian assets and decreased crude oil prices. During Q2 2025, the Company incurred $15 million of capital expenditure, primarily in connection with the drilling of additional development wells in the Tapir block. This tempo is expected to continue during the remainder of 2025, funded by cash on hand and cashflow.

About Arrow Exploration Corp.

Arrow Exploration Corp. (operating in Colombia via a branches of its 100% owned subsidiary Arrow Exploration Switzerland GmbH) is a publicly traded company with a portfolio of premier Colombian oil assets that are underexploited, under-explored and offer high potential growth.

Non‐IFRS Measures

The Company uses non-IFRS measures to evaluate its performance which are measures not defined in IFRS. Working capital, funds flow from operations, realized prices, operating netback, adjusted EBITDA, and net debt as presented do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. The Company considers these measures as key measures to demonstrate its ability to generate the cash flow necessary to fund future growth through capital investment, and to repay its debt, as the case may be. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than net income (loss) or cash provided by operating activities or net loss and comprehensive loss as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance. The Company's determination of these measures may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.
