SandRidge Energy, Inc.'s (NYSE:SD) healthy profit numbers didn't contain any surprises for investors. We believe that shareholders have noticed some concerning factors beyond the statutory profit numbers. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. SandRidge Energy reported a tax benefit of US$5.5m, which is well worth noting. It's always a bit noteworthy when a company is paid by the tax man, rather than paying the tax man. Of course, prima facie it's great to receive a tax benefit. However, the devil in the detail is that these kind of benefits only impact in the year they are booked, and are often one-off in nature. Assuming the tax benefit is not repeated every year, we could see its profitability drop noticeably, all else being equal. That might leave you wondering what analysts are forecasting in terms of future profitability. Luckily, you can click here to see an interactive graph depicting future profitability, based on their estimates. As we have already discussed SandRidge Energy reported that it received a tax benefit, rather than paying tax, in the last year. As a result we don't think its profit result, which includes that tax-boost, is a good guide to its sustainable profit levels. Because of this, we think that it may be that SandRidge Energy's statutory profits are better than its underlying earnings power. But at least holders can take some solace from the 18% EPS growth in the last year. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly. Keep in mind, when it comes to analysing a stock it's worth noting the risks involved. While conducting our analysis, we found that SandRidge Energy has 1 warning sign and it would be unwise to ignore it. This note has only looked at a single factor that sheds light on the nature of SandRidge Energy's profit. But there are plenty of other ways to inform your opinion of a company.

Pranin Chairman of the Board — Jonathan Frates Senior Vice President of Operations — Dean Parrish Chief Financial Officer — Brandon L. Brown Need a quote from a Motley Fool analyst? Email [email protected] Grayson R. Pranin: Thank you, and good afternoon. I am pleased to report on a strong quarter for the company. Production averaged 18.6 MBOE per day during the first quarter, an increase of 4% on a BOE basis versus the same period in 2025. Oil production increased 31%, and total revenues increased 17% during the quarter versus the same period in 2025, driven primarily by new production from our operated development program. Before getting into this and other highlights, I will turn things over to Jonathan for details on financial results. Jonathan Frates: Compared to 2025, the company saw increases in the market price of both oil and natural gas. We grew production by 4% year-over-year and generated revenues of approximately $50 million, which represents an increase of 26% compared to last quarter and 17% compared to the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $33.7 million in the quarter compared to $25.5 million in 2025. We continue to manage the business with a focus on maximizing long-term cash flow while growing production and utilizing our NOLs to shield us from federal income taxes. At the end of the quarter, cash, including restricted cash, was approximately $104 million, which represents over $2.80 per common share outstanding. Cash was down compared to the prior quarter due to an increase in noncash working capital, primarily related to the timing of payables versus receivables from our one-rig drilling program. Working capital, as represented by current assets less current liabilities, was up by $3.7 million compared to the prior quarter. The company paid $4.4 million in dividends during the quarter, which includes $600 thousand of dividends to be paid in shares under our dividend reinvestment plan. On May 5, 2026, the Board of Directors increased the regular-way dividend by 8%, declaring a $0.13 dividend as well as a one-time special dividend of $0.20 per share, both of which are payable on June 1 to shareholders of record on May 20, 2026. Shareholders may elect to receive cash or additional shares of common stock through the company's dividend reinvestment p...

Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Production growth of 4% year-over-year was primarily driven by the company's operated development program, which fueled a 31% increase in oil production. Revenue benefited from a strategic shift to ethane rejection by a major purchaser in early Q1, allowing the company to sell more ethane as natural gas at higher relative prices and BTU factors. Management attributes its peer-leading G&A efficiency to a 'fit for purpose' model that outsources perfunctory functions like IT and HR while retaining core technical expertise. The company's extensive owned infrastructure, including 1,000 miles of SWD and electric lines, de-risks legacy well profitability at prices as low as $40 WTI and $2 Henry Hub. Operational execution in the Cherokee play reached a new milestone with the tenth well in the program being the fastest and lowest-cost to date due to team-driven technical efficiencies. Strategic positioning is anchored by a 'negative net leverage' balance sheet and approximately $1.5 billion in federal NOLs, which shield the company from federal income taxes. The 2026 capital program assumes a one-rig Cherokee development plan to drill 10 wells and complete eight, with two completions carrying over into the following year. Management plans to monitor the performance of a newly tested Red Fork formation well before committing to further development in that specific target area. Capital allocation will prioritize a regular-way dividend, with the board recently increasing the payout by 8% alongside a one-time special dividend of $0.20 per share. The company is maintaining a meaningful portion of production unhedged to participate in current high market prices while securing cash flows for the drilling program through swaps and collars. Future M&A strategy focuses on value-accretive opportunities that can leverage the company's significant NOL position or provide operational synergies in the Mid-Continent. One stock.

Adjusted net income(1) was $12.5 million, or $0.34 per basic share during the fourth quarter of 2025 (See table below for reconciliation of net income to adjusted net income) Generated adjusted EBITDA(1) of $101.1 million in 2025 Achieved a new Company record of more than four years without a recordable safety incident The Company's 2026 guidance reflects the continuation of its one-rig Cherokee development program and plan to drill ten and complete eight new SandRidge-operated wells during the year Grayson Pranin, SandRidge's President, Chief Executive Officer & Director, commented on 2025 results: "2025 was a strong year for SandRidge with the initiation of a new operated development program in the Cherokee, seeing production rates climb to a multi-year high at an average of 19.5 Boe/d in the fourth quarter of 2025 and setting a new safety reco...

Full-year 2025 production grew 12% overall and 32% for oil, primarily driven by the successful launch of the operated Cherokee Play development program. Management attributes record production levels of 19.5 MBoe per day in Q4 to strong well results and a focus on optimizing base production assets. The company maintains a lean organizational structure, utilizing outsourced functions for non-core administrative tasks to achieve peer-leading G&A efficiency of $1.50 per Boe. Operational success is supported by a robust infrastructure footprint, including over 1,000 miles of owned SWD and electric lines, which de-risks legacy well profitability down to $40 WTI. Strategic positioning is defined by a debt-free balance sheet and $1.6 billion in federal NOLs, providing a tax-advantaged framework for capital reinvestment and M&A. Management emphasizes 'drill schedule flexibility,' noting that the lack of near-term leasehold expirations allows them to defer projects if commodity prices weaken. The 2026 capital program assumes a one-rig continuous drilling schedule in the Cherokee Play, targeting 10 new wells with 8 expected completions within the calendar year. Oil production is projected to increase by approximately 20% in 2026, supported by high-return wells with breakevens at $35 WTI. Capital expenditure guidance of $76 million to $97 million includes $14 million to $17 million earmarked for 'ground game' leasing to extend the development runway beyond 2026. Guidance ranges account for variables in timing related to crew availability and weather, as well as potential fluctuations in working interest resulting from the Oklahoma pooling process. Management plans to prioritize a regular quarterly dividend while maintaining the flexibility for opportunistic share repurchases using the $68.3 million remaining authorization. Lease operating expenses (LOE) were 14% below guidance, partially due to a $4.3 million non-recurring, non-cash adjustment of operating accruals. The company reported a record of over four years without a recordable safety incident, which management cites as a key indicator of operational discipline during the Cherokee ramp-up. Natural gas realizations are expected to fluctuate between 50% and 70% of Henry Hub, depending on absolute price levels due to fixed deducts in the gas stream. Current hedging covers approximately 23% of 2026 guided production...
