| ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES Vaalco Energy, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries “we”, “us”, “our”, “Vaalco” or the “Company”) is a Houston, Texas-based independent energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and production of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) properties. We have a diversified African-focused asset portfolio in Gabon, Egypt, Côte d’Ivoire, Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea, as well as, prior to the Canada Assets Divestment, producing properties in Canada. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“Financial Statements”) reflect the opinion of management and all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year. These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, which includes a summary of the significant accounting policies. Allowance for credit losses and other – The Company estimates the current expected credit losses based primarily using either an aging analysis or discounted cash flow methodology that incorporates consideration of current and future conditions that could impact its counterparties’ credit quality and liquidity. Uncollectible receivables are written off when a settlement is reached for an amount that is less than the outstanding historical balance or when the Company has determined that the balance will not be collected. The following table provides an analysis of the change in the aggregate credit loss allowance and other allowances.
Derivative instruments and hedging activities – The Company enters into crude oil hedging arrangements from time to time in an effort to mitigate the effects of commodity price volatility and enhance the predictability of cash flows relating to the marketing of a portion of our crude oil production. While these instruments mitigate the cash flow risk of future decreases in commodity prices, they may also curtail benefits from future increases in commodity prices. The Company records balances resulting from commodity risk management activities in the consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value. The Company has previously elected not to offset fair value amounts of qualifying derivatives under a master netting arrangement and associated fair value amounts for cash collateral receivables and payables. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company changed the presentation of derivative assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets from a gross basis to a net basis by counterparty when a legally enforceable master netting arrangement exists. The Company believes that net presentation better reflects the rights and obligations associated with these derivative instruments. This change affects presentation only and does not affect the recognition, measurement, or classification of the derivative assets and liabilities. It also had no impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, or shareholders’ equity. Prior period amounts have been conformed to the current presentation. Gains and losses from the change in fair value of derivative instruments and cash settlements on commodity derivatives are presented in the “Derivative instruments gain (loss), net” line item located within the “Other income (expense)” section of the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Fair Value of Derivative Instruments – The following table, set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, shows the Company’s derivatives that were accounted for at fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The Company’s commodity price derivatives primarily represent crude oil collar contracts and fixed price swap contracts and differential swap contracts. The asset and liability measurements for the Company’s commodity price derivative contracts are determined using Level 2 inputs. The asset and liability values attributable to the Company’s commodity price derivatives were determined based on inputs that include, but are not limited to, the contractual price of the underlying position, current market prices, crude oil forward curves, discount rates, and volatility factors. See Note 7. Derivatives for further details of the Company’s derivative contracts.
