Infinity Natural Resources, Inc. reported a total derivative gain of approximately $57.5 million for the second quarter of 2026. The company recognized realized losses of approximately $6.4 million associated with settled derivative contracts, primarily involving crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and regional basis differentials. These realized losses were more than offset by non-cash mark-to-market unrealized gains of approximately $63.9 million in its outstanding derivative portfolio, arising from the revaluation of open positions using prevailing forward commodity price curves as of June 30, 2026.
The derivative contracts were entered into pursuant to the company's board-approved hedging strategy. The unrealized adjustments reflect changes in the market value of open contracts and do not represent current-period cash inflows or outflows.
