VITESSE ENERGY ANNOUNCES HEDGING UPDATE AND BOARD MEMBER TRANSITION

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. - Vitesse Energy, Inc. (NYSE: VTS) ("Vitesse" or the "Company") today announced a hedging update related to opportunistic additional hedges through 2027 at price levels that support its dividend, along with the transition of M. Bruce Chernoff from Vitesse's Board of Directors (the "Vitesse Board").

HEDGING UPDATE

Vitesse hedges a portion of its expected oil, natural gas, and NGL production volumes to increase the predictability and certainty of its cash flow and to help maintain a strong financial position to support its dividend. In light of the recent commodity price environment, the Company has added substantial hedges and select NGL hedges since it released its fourth quarter and full year 2025 results. Based on the midpoint of its previously released annual 2026 guidance, Vitesse has approximately 67% of its 2026 oil production hedged. The following table summarizes Vitesse's open commodity derivative contracts scheduled to settle after December 31, 2025, including those entered in 2026.
