Vista Energy reported strong third-quarter operating growth on October 28, 2026, with production and cash generation rising sharply from a year earlier. The results were released after the market close, followed by a conference call on October 29. MarketBeat reported quarterly revenue of 1.29 billion US dollars, above the 1.14 billion US dollar consensus estimate.
The company averaged 169,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, an increase of 33 percent year over year. Oil production reached 147,000 barrels per day, while adjusted EBITDA climbed 78 percent to 841 million US dollars. Free cash flow reached 334 million US dollars after capital expenditure of 460 million US dollars.
Higher output supports cash generation
Vista attributed the production increase to organic growth and the full-quarter consolidation of assets acquired from Equinor. Oil exports increased 56 percent year over year, and the company said realized oil prices were 84.20 US dollars per barrel, up from the prior-year quarter but below the second quarter.
Net leverage stood at 1.12 times adjusted EBITDA at the end of the quarter, down from 1.41 times in the previous quarter. Management said the company remains positioned to meet its 2026 production guidance and reiterated a 2027 production target of 185,000 barrels per day, alongside adjusted EBITDA guidance of 3.3 billion US dollars based on 80 US dollar Brent.
