Operator

Good day, and welcome to VAALCO Energy's First Quarter of 2026 Earnings Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Also, please be aware that today's call is being recorded. I would now like to turn the call over to Investor Relations Coordinator, Chris Delange. Please go ahead.

Chris Delange

Thank you, operator. Welcome to VAALCO Energy's First Quarter 2026 Conference Call. After I cover the forward-looking statements, George Maxwell, our CEO, will review key highlights of the first quarter. Ron Bain, our CFO, will then provide a more in-depth financial review.

George will then return for some closing comments before we take your questions. [Operator Instructions] I would like to point out that we posted a supplemental investor deck on our website that has additional financial analysis, comparisons and guidance that should be helpful. With that, let me proceed with our forward-looking statement comments.

During the course of this conference call, the company will be making forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and thus actual results or developments may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. VAALCO disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These and other risks are described
