Tamboran Resources Reports $39.6 Million Net Loss for Fiscal Year 2025, Progresses in Drilling Activities

Tamboran Resources Corporation, an independent natural gas exploration and production company, reported a net loss of $39.6 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $23.9 million in the previous fiscal year. The company has not yet commenced natural gas production, resulting in no revenue for both fiscal years 2025 and 2024. Operating costs increased significantly to $39.3 million in 2025 from $20.5 million in 2024, primarily due to higher compensation expenses, exploration activities, and costs associated with the development of the Sturt Plateau Compression Facility (SPCF) and the proposed Northern Territory LNG (NTLNG) facility.

In terms of operational developments, Tamboran has made significant progress in its drilling activities, having drilled and completed four wells as operator. The company holds a 25% non-operated working interest in EP 161 and a 38.75% working interest in EPs 76, 98, and 117, where it is the operator. The company is also the largest acreage holder in the Beetaloo Basin, with approximately 1.9 million net prospective acres. The Shenandoah South Pilot Project aims to achieve gas sales of up to 40 terajoules per day by mid-2026, contingent upon successful drilling and regulatory approvals.

Strategically, Tamboran underwent a Corporate Reorganization in December 2023, becoming the parent company of TR Ltd. This reorganization included the issuance of CHESS Depository Interests (CDIs) representing shares of common stock, which are now listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The company also entered into a Cooperation Agreement with Bryan Sheffield and his affiliated entities, resulting in the appointment of two new directors to its board. Additionally, the company has secured non-binding letters of intent from six major Australian energy retailers for the purchase of natural gas, totaling 875 million cubic feet per day over a period of 10 to 15 years.

Looking ahead, Tamboran's business plan includes the construction of a new high-capacity pipeline to connect the Beetaloo Basin to the Australian East Coast gas market, which is expected to reduce transportation costs significantly. The company anticipates that the demand for natural gas will increase, particularly in light of projected supply shortages in the East Coast market. However, the company faces challenges, including the need for substantial capital to fund its development activities and the potential for delays in securing necessary infrastructure and regulatory approvals. Tamboran's ability to achieve its production goals and financial targets will depend on the successful execution of its drilling programs and the establishment of commercial production by mid-2026.
