Overview

Pure-play US natural gas producer built on the Barnett Shale (~835 MMcfe/d, ~80% gas / 20% NGLs), majority-owned by Thailand's Banpu, pursuing a vertically integrated 'gas + power + carbon capture' model.

FY2025 was its first full public year: revenue ~$1.0bn, net income $173m (vs a $143m loss in 2024), adjusted EBITDAX $329m (+47% YoY), SEC proved reserves up to 5.9 Tcfe after a 2025 Barnett bolt-on.

Its EV/EBITDA of 9.6x is above the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of 0.0% is lower than the 6.5% median, and at $3.80/boe of proved reserves it is cheaper than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, BKV Corporation scores 48/100, strongest on safety (58/100). Sub-scores: value 42, quality 45, growth 57, risk 42 (higher = riskier).

Reserves & production

BKV Corporation holds approximately 0.99 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 139 thousand boe/d (20% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 19.5 years. Break-even: ~$2.68/MMBtu (Henry Hub gas breakeven) — Location-weighted Barnett drilling breakeven ~$2.68/MMBtu; 315 locations breakeven below $3.00, underpinning a 15+ year reserve life.

Net asset value (public-source floor)

Using BKV Corporation's SEC-disclosed after-tax standardized measure of proved reserves ($2.4bn) less net debt ($0.3bn) gives an equity-NAV floor of about $2.1bn — the current market capitalisation sits +37% versus that floor. Disclosed pre-tax PV-10: $2.8bn. This is a floor: proved reserves only, excluding undeveloped inventory, downstream and other business lines. omits carbon-capture (CCUS) and power JV value

How this is scored. Each country's risk (0–100) is anchored to two named public indices — the OECD Country Risk Classification (0–7 official export-credit country risk) and the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (Political Stability & Absence of Violence percentile) — blended 55/45 and rescaled to 0–100. A company's jurisdiction risk is the production-weighted average across the countries where it operates. This is a pure country measure, kept separate from company & financial risk (leverage, governance). Source: OECD Country Risk Classification (CRC) as of 24 July 2025, sourced via the German Federal Export Credit Guarantees (exportkreditgarantien.de) which applies the OECD consensus country risk category directly (values 0-7; 0 = lowest risk). High-income OECD members are not individually rated by the OECD and are set to crc=0 per the model spec (US, UK, Norway, Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ, and most of Europe incl. OECD members Israel, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Lithuania, Ireland). 'ps' = World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) 'Political Stability and Absence of Violence/Terrorism' percentile rank, latest available (2023 vintage), 0-100 with higher = more stable; ps values are best sourced estimates rounded to the WGI percentile scale. Yemen not on OECD list ('./.') so crc estimated at 7. Iraq-Kurdistan and Falklands are non-standard model rows using judgment, not official OECD entries..
