Category Mid-cap E&PRegion N. AmericaCEO Chris Stavros (2022)Jurisdiction risk Low (23)

Overview

South Texas pure-play E&P centered on the Giddings (Austin Chalk) development area, which drives ~two-thirds of output, complemented by the legacy high-margin Karnes County Eagle Ford core. FY2025 production grew 11% to a record 99.8 mboe/d (68% liquids).

Capital-disciplined model: FY2025 generated $426.6M free cash flow and returned ~75% to shareholders via a growing dividend and buybacks. Near-net-cash balance sheet; pending ~$4.06bn WildFire Energy deal expands the South Texas footprint.

Reserves & production

Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation holds approximately 0.21 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 100 thousand boe/d (68% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 5.8 years. Break-even: ~$40 (WTI FCF breakeven) — Low-cost, low-decline base with LOE ~$6.96/boe; maintenance-level D&C sustains volumes and generates free cash flow at roughly $40s WTI.

Net asset value (public-source)

For Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation, no SEC standardized measure is disclosed (non-US filer or listed NOC), so a public-source proved-NAV floor is not computable from US filings. See the interactive screener's NAV tab for peers where an SEC figure exists.

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..
