Drilling & Completion Operations
Three wells from the Company's ongoing one-rig Cherokee development program were turned to sales during the third quarter. The third well came online in the last three weeks of the quarter, and each will continue to benefit production levels going forward.
The four wells turned to sales since the start of the program generated average per well peak 30-day IP rates of approximately 2,000 gross Boe per day (~43% oil). The first well in the program produced more than 275,000 gross Boe (~42% oil) in its first 170 days of production.

Lease operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2025 increased in total and per Boe versus the same period in 2024 primarily due to an increase in labor, utility and other costs and increased operational activity associated with the Company's Cherokee acquisition and drilling program.
Liquidity & Capital Structure

Share Repurchases
The Company continues to opportunistically repurchase shares under its 10b5-1 program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company repurchased 0.6 million shares for $6.4 million at an average price of $10.72 per share. Of the $75.0 million repurchase authorization, $68.3 million remained.
Outlook
We remain committed to growing the value of our asset base in a safe, responsible and efficient manner, while prudently allocating capital to high-return, growth projects. Currently, these projects include: (1) one-rig development in the Cherokee Shale Play (2) evaluation of accretive merger and acquisition opportunities, with consideration of our strong balance sheet and commitment to our capital return program (3) production optimization program through artificial lift conversions to more efficient and cost-effective systems and (4) a leasing program that will bolster future development and extend development in our Cherokee assets. We are developing our term acreage in the Cherokee Play, and our total leasehold position, inclusive of the Cherokee, NW Stack and legacy assets, is approximately 95% held by production, which cost-effectively maintains our development option over a reasonable tenor. We will continue to monitor forward-looking commodity prices, project results, costs, impacts of tariffs and other factors that could influence returns and cash flows, and will adjust our program accordingly, to include curtailment of capital activity and wells, if needed, or conversely, well reactivations in higher commodity price environments. These and other factors, including reasonable reinvestment rates, maintaining our cash flows and prioritizing our regular-way dividend, will continue to shape our development decisions for the remainder of the year and beyond.
Environmental, Social, & Governance ("ESG")
SandRidge maintains its Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") commitment to harvesting the Company's resources in a safe and environmentally conscious manner, to include no routine flaring of produced natural gas, transporting nearly all of our produced water via pipeline instead of truck, and powering nearly all our well sites with electricity, mitigating the need for less efficient power sources. Via a 24-hour manned operations center and dedicated personnel trained in the use of infrared leak detection and other specialized equipment, the Company continually monitors our asset base for potential emissions and continually works to optimize efficiency through initiatives such as proactive artificial lift upgrades that reduce SandRidge's electric power consumption. Additionally, SandRidge maintains an emphasis on the safety and training of our workforce with a demonstrable safety track record integral to our culture. The Company has personnel dedicated to the close monitoring of our safety standards and daily operations.
