Here are the key takeaways from Gran Tierra Energy’s conference call:

• Gran Tierra exited Q1 with a materially stronger balance sheet — $125 million cash, repurchased ~$9.2 million face value of senior notes at a ~12% discount, and about $54 million undrawn credit capacity (total liquidity ~ $179 million).
• Management closed two strategic portfolio additions: a 65% working interest across ~400,000 acres in Azerbaijan and a partnership with Ecopetrol to earn 49% of the Tisquirama block in Colombia, both intended to drive long‑term development and synergies with adjacent Acordionero assets.
• Operational execution showed discipline — Q1 WI production ~45,500 BOE/d (down 2% q/q) while drilling costs were ~18% below budget on key Colombia wells, and Ecuador waterflood initiation delivered early results that management expects will boost oil recovery and cut disposal costs.
• 2026 guidance was revised to reflect portfolio changes and market moves: ~40,000–45,000 BOE/d, EBITDA $345M–$395M, free cash flow $95M–$115M and CapEx $130M–$170M (assumes ~ $84 Brent), with incremental CapEx for Tisquirama this year.
• Near‑term financial headwinds: Q1 net loss of $119M driven by unrealized hedging and non‑cash charges, Ecuador M‑1 timing cost ~ $16M, and expected 2026 hedging losses of roughly $70M–$72M that will partially offset higher oil prices.
