Its EV/EBITDA of 4.5x is below the 5.9x median across the 142-company universe, the free-cash-flow yield of 6.6% is higher than the 6.5% median, and at $15.55/boe of proved reserves it is richer than the $13.51/boe median.

On a balanced screen across the universe, Matador Resources Company scores 56/100, strongest on growth (82/100). Sub-scores: value 55, quality 57, growth 82, risk 53 (higher = riskier).

Reserves & production

Matador Resources Company holds approximately 0.67 billion boe of proved (1P) reserves with FY2025 production of about 207 thousand boe/d (58% liquids), a reserve life of roughly 8.8 years. Break-even: ~$44 (WTI FCF breakeven) — Corporate free-cash-flow breakeven sits in the low-$40s WTI; the $1.50/yr dividend is covered to roughly $40 WTI.

Net asset value (public-source floor)

Using Matador Resources Company's SEC-disclosed after-tax standardized measure of proved reserves ($0.3bn) less net debt ($3.3bn) gives an equity-NAV floor of about $-3.0bn — the current market capitalisation sits -321% versus that floor. Disclosed pre-tax PV-10: $8.2bn. This is a floor: proved reserves only, excluding undeveloped inventory, downstream and other business lines. Excludes undeveloped inventory beyond the SEC 5-year PUD rule and the San Mateo/Pronto midstream business.

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..
