FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISKS

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this report, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected costs, and plans and objectives of management for future operations and capital returns framework, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s examination of historical operating trends, the information that was used to prepare its estimate of proved reserves as of December 31, 2025, and other data in the Company’s possession or available from third parties. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “target,” “believe,” “continue,” “seek,” “guidance,” “goal,” “might,” “outlook,” “possibly,” “potential,” “predict,” “prospect,” “should,” “would,” or similar terminology or the negative of these terms, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward looking. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable under the circumstances, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations include, but are not limited to, its assumptions about:

•changes in local, regional, national, and international economic conditions;

•the market prices of oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and other products or services, including the prices received for natural gas purchased from third parties to sell and deliver to a U.S. LNG export facility;

•the Company’s commodity hedging arrangements;

•the supply and demand for oil, natural gas, NGLs, and other products or services;

•production and reserve levels;

•drilling risks;

•economic and competitive conditions, including market and macro-economic disruptions resulting from trade tensions between the U.S. and other countries;

•actions taken by foreign oil and gas producing nations, including the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC members that participate in OPEC initiatives (OPEC+), and the impact of any nation exiting OPEC;

•the impact and duration of armed conflicts, including those involving Iran, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Lebanon, and Gaza;

•the availability of capital resources;

•capital expenditures and other contractual obligations;

•asset retirement and decommissioning obligations, including changes to applicable regulatory and industry standards, the timing of related activities, and potential obligations to decommission previously owned assets;

•currency exchange rates;

•weather conditions;

•inflation rates;

•the impact of changes in tax legislation;

•the impact of international or domestic trade policy changes, including tariffs, import/export controls, and sanctions;

•the availability of goods and services;

•cyberattacks and terrorism;

•the impact of political pressure and the influence of environmental groups and other stakeholders on decisions and policies related to the industries in which the Company and its affiliates operate;

•legislative, regulatory, or policy changes, including initiatives addressing the impact of global climate change or further regulating hydraulic fracturing, methane emissions, flaring, or water disposal;

•liabilities, injunctive relief, corrective actions, or other adverse outcomes resulting from pending or future litigation, governmental investigations, regulatory proceedings, or alleged violations of laws, regulations, permits, or contractual obligations;

•market-related risks, such as general credit, liquidity, and interest-rate risks;

•the ability to retain and hire key personnel;

•property acquisitions or divestitures;

•the integration of acquisitions;

•other factors disclosed under Items 1 and 2—Business and Properties—Estimated Proved Reserves and Future Net Cash Flows, Item 1A—Risk Factors, Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Item 7A—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk and elsewhere in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025;

•other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the Company’s first-quarter 2026 earnings release;

•other factors disclosed under Part II, Item 1A—Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and

•other factors disclosed in the other filings that the Company makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other factors or events that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such factors or events. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise these statements, whether based on changes in internal estimates or expectations, new information, future developments, or otherwise.

APA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared by APA Corporation (APA or the Company) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). They reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements, with the exception of any recently adopted accounting pronouncements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information, accounting policies, and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read along with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which contains a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies and other disclosures.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

As of March 31, 2026, the Company's significant accounting policies are consistent with those discussed in Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The Company’s financial statements for prior periods may include reclassifications that were made to conform to the current-year presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of APA and its subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions.

The Company’s undivided interests in oil and gas exploration and production ventures and partnerships are proportionately consolidated. The Company consolidates all other investments in which, either through direct or indirect ownership, it has more than a 50 percent voting interest or controls the financial and operating decisions.

Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation (Sinopec) owns a one-third minority participation in the Company’s consolidated Egypt oil and gas business as a noncontrolling interest, which is reflected as a separate noncontrolling interest component of equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company has determined that a limited partnership and APA subsidiary, which has control over APA’s Egyptian operations, qualifies as a variable interest entity (VIE). Apache consolidates the activities of APA’s Egyptian operations because it has concluded that a wholly owned subsidiary has a controlling financial interest in APA’s Egyptian operations and was determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE.

Use of Estimates

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the Company’s financial statements, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.

Significant estimates with regard to these financial statements include the estimates of fair value for long-lived assets (refer to “Fair Value Measurements” and “Property and Equipment” sections in this Note 1 below), the fair value determination of acquired assets and liabilities, the assessment of asset retirement obligations (refer to Note 7—Asset Retirement Obligation), the estimate of income taxes (refer to Note 9—Income Taxes), the estimation of the contingent liability representing Apache’s potential decommissioning obligations on sold properties in the Gulf of America (refer to Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies), and the estimate of proved oil and gas reserves and related present value estimates of future net cash flows therefrom.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a recurring basis in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10-35, “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820), provides a hierarchy that prioritizes and defines the types of inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs, which consist of unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 inputs consist of quoted prices for similar instruments. Level 3 valuations are derived from inputs that are significant and unobservable; hence, these valuations have the lowest priority.

The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value include a market approach, an income approach, and a cost approach. A market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. An income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations, including present value techniques, option-pricing models, and the excess earnings method. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

Refer to Note 4—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and Note 8—Debt and Financing Costs for further detail regarding the Company’s fair value measurements recorded on a recurring basis.

The Company also uses fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis when certain qualitative assessments of its assets indicate a potential impairment or when allocating the purchase price for acquired assets and liabilities in a business combination. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature and maturities of these instruments.

During each of the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the Company recorded no asset impairments in connection with fair value assessments.

Revenue Recognition

Receivables from contracts with customers, including receivables for purchased oil and gas sales and net of allowance for credit losses, were $1.2 billion and $826 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Payments under all contracts with customers are typically due and received within a short-term period of one year or less, after physical delivery of the product or service has been rendered. The Company monitors its receivable balance and exposure as part of its ongoing credit risk management process.

Oil and gas production revenues include income taxes that will be paid to the Arab Republic of Egypt by Egypt General Petroleum Corporation on behalf of the Company. Revenue and associated expenses related to such tax volumes are recorded as “Oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids production revenues” and “Current income tax provision,” respectively, in the Company’s statement of consolidated operations.

Refer to Note 12—Business Segment Information for a disaggregation of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids production revenue by product and reporting segment.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” variable market prices for each short-term commodity sale are allocated entirely to each performance obligation as the terms of payment relate specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy its obligations. As such, the Company has elected the practical expedients available under the standard to not disclose the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied, or partially unsatisfied, performance obligations as of the end of the reporting period.

Inventories

Inventories consist principally of tubular goods and equipment and are stated at the lower of weighted-average cost or net realizable value. Oil produced but not sold, primarily in the North Sea, is also recorded to inventory and is stated at the lower of the cost to produce or net realizable value. No inventory impairments were recognized in either of the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

Property and Equipment

The carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment represents the cost incurred to acquire the property and equipment, including capitalized interest, net of any impairments. For business combinations and acquisitions, property and equipment cost is based on the fair values at the acquisition date.

Oil and Gas Property

The Company follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas property. Under this method of accounting, exploration costs, production costs, general corporate overhead, and similar activities are expensed as incurred. If an exploratory well provides evidence to justify potential development of reserves, drilling costs associated with the well are initially capitalized, or suspended, pending a determination as to whether a commercially sufficient quantity of proved reserves can be attributed to the area as a result of drilling. At the end of each quarter, management reviews the status of all suspended exploratory well costs in light of ongoing exploration activities, and if management determines that future appraisal drilling or development activities are unlikely to occur, associated suspended exploratory well costs are expensed.

Costs to develop proved reserves, including the costs of all development wells and related equipment used in the production of crude oil and natural gas, are capitalized. Depreciation of the cost of proved oil and gas properties is calculated using the unit-of-production (UOP) method. The UOP calculation multiplies the percentage of estimated proved reserves produced each quarter by the carrying value of associated proved oil and gas properties.

When circumstances indicate that the carrying value of proved oil and gas properties may not be recoverable, the Company compares unamortized capitalized costs to the expected undiscounted pre-tax future cash flows for the associated assets grouped at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are independent of cash flows of other assets. If the expected undiscounted pre-tax future cash flows, based on the Company’s estimate of future crude oil and natural gas prices, operating costs, anticipated production from proved reserves and other relevant data, are lower than the unamortized capitalized cost, the capitalized cost is reduced to fair value. The Company recorded no proved oil and gas property impairments during either of the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.

Unproved leasehold impairments are typically recorded as a component of “Exploration” expense in the Company’s statement of consolidated operations. Losses on divestitures of the Company’s oil and gas properties are recognized under “Loss on divestitures, net” in the statement of consolidated operations upon closing of the transaction.

Transaction, Reorganization, and Separation (TRS)

The Company recorded $7 million and $37 million of TRS costs during the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. TRS costs incurred in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025 comprised primarily employee separations, organization restructuring, and other cost-saving initiatives.

New Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

There were no changes in recently issued or adopted accounting standards from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 that would have an expected material effect on the Company.

2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

2026 Activity

Leasehold and Property Acquisitions

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company completed leasehold acquisitions, primarily in the Permian Basin, for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $4 million.

2025 Activity

Leasehold and Property Acquisitions

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company completed leasehold acquisitions, primarily in the Permian Basin, for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $13 million.

3. CAPITALIZED EXPLORATORY WELL COSTS

The Company’s capitalized exploratory well costs were $344 million and $338 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The increase is attributable to additional drilling activity partially offset by successful transfer of well costs in Egypt. No suspended exploratory well costs previously capitalized for greater than one year at December 31, 2025 were charged to dry hole expense during the first quarter of 2026. Similarly, during the first quarter of 2025, no such costs were charged to dry hole expense.

Projects with suspended exploratory well costs capitalized for a period greater than one year since the completion of drilling are those identified by management as exhibiting sufficient quantities of hydrocarbons to justify potential development. Management is actively pursuing efforts to assess whether proved reserves can be attributed to these projects.

4. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Objectives and Strategies

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas prices on the majority of its worldwide production, as well as fluctuations in exchange rates in connection with transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The Company manages the variability in its cash flows by occasionally entering into derivative transactions on a portion of its crude oil and natural gas production and foreign currency transactions. The Company utilizes various types of derivative financial instruments, including forward contracts, futures contracts, swaps, and options, to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in commodity prices or foreign currency values. The Company has elected not to designate any of its derivative contracts as cash flow hedges.

Counterparty Risk

The use of derivative instruments exposes the Company to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty. To reduce the concentration of exposure to any individual counterparty, the Company utilizes a diversified group of investment-grade rated counterparties, primarily financial institutions, for its derivative transactions. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had derivative positions with 11 counterparties. The Company monitors counterparty creditworthiness on an ongoing basis; however, it cannot predict sudden changes in counterparties’ creditworthiness. In addition, even if such changes are not sudden, the Company may be limited in its ability to mitigate an increase in counterparty credit risk. Should one of these counterparties not perform, the Company may not realize the benefit of some of its derivative instruments resulting from lower commodity prices.

Indenture Debt Activity

On March 15, 2026, APA and Apache repaid in cash on maturity the outstanding $79 million aggregate principal amount of their respective 7.70% Notes due 2026, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the maturity date.

On January 10, 2025, APA settled its private exchange and cash tender offers for certain notes and debentures issued by Apache under its indentures. In settling these offers pursuant to their respective terms, APA paid a total of $869 million in cash in the tender offers (comprised of tender offer consideration, exchange consideration for tendered notes exchanged, early participation premium, and accrued interest) for the aggregate $1 billion in principal amount of Apache notes tendered and accepted in the cash tender offers. The Company recognized a gain of $135 million on these purchases, including broker fees and loan costs.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, Apache purchased in the open market and canceled senior notes issued under its indentures in an aggregate principal amount of $55 million for an aggregate purchase price of $50 million in cash, including accrued interest and broker fees, reflecting a discount to par of an aggregate $7 million. The Company recognized a $7 million gain on these repurchases. The repurchases were partially financed by APA’s borrowing under the Company’s commercial paper program.

Committed Credit Facilities

On January 15, 2025, the Company entered into two unsecured syndicated credit agreements for general corporate purposes:

•One agreement is denominated in US dollars (the USD Agreement) and provides for an unsecured five-year revolving credit facility for loans and letters of credit, with aggregate commitments of US$2.0 billion (including a letter of credit subfacility of up to US$750 million, of which US$250 million currently is committed). APA may increase commitments up to an aggregate US$2.5 billion by adding new lenders or obtaining the consent of any increasing existing lenders. This facility matures in January 2030, subject to the Company’s two, one-year extension options.

•The second agreement is denominated in pounds sterling (the GBP Agreement) and provides for an unsecured five-year revolving credit facility, with aggregate commitments of £1.5 billion for loans and letters of credit. This facility matures in January 2030, subject to the Company’s two, one-year extension options.

As of March 31, 2026, there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the USD Agreement or the GBP Agreement. As of December 31, 2025, there were no borrowings or letters of credit outstanding under the USD Agreement and no borrowings and an aggregate £1.0 million in letters of credit outstanding under the GBP Agreement.

Uncommitted Lines of Credit

Each of the Company and Apache, from time to time, has and uses uncommitted credit and letter of credit facilities for working capital and credit support purposes. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities. As of March 31, 2026, there were £567 million and $10 million in letters of credit outstanding under these facilities. As of December 31, 2025, there were £901 million and $10 million in letters of credit outstanding under these facilities.

Commercial Paper Program

The Company has a commercial paper program under which it from time to time may issue in private placements exempt from registration under the Securities Act short-term unsecured promissory notes (CP Notes) up to a maximum aggregate face amount of $2.0 billion outstanding at any time. The maturities of CP Notes may vary but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. Outstanding CP Notes are supported by available borrowing capacity under the Company’s committed revolving credit facilities for general corporate purposes, which as of March 31, 2026, included the $2.0 billion USD Agreement.

The CP Notes are sold under customary market terms in the U.S. commercial paper market at a discount from par or at par and bear interest at rates determined at the time of issuance.

As of each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no CP Notes outstanding.

Subsequent Events—Indenture Debt Activity

On April 6, 2026, APA and Apache fully redeemed their respective 4.875% Notes due 2027 and 4.375% Notes due 2028. Note holders were paid an aggregate $425 million in cash (comprised of outstanding principal amounts and make-whole premiums), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

On April 15, 2026, APA and Apache repaid in cash on maturity the outstanding $132 million aggregate principal amount of their respective 7.95% Notes due 2026, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the maturity date.

9. INCOME TAXES

The Company estimates its annual effective income tax rate in recording its quarterly provision for income taxes in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Non-cash impairments on the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties, gains and losses on the sale of assets, statutory tax rate changes, and other significant or unusual items are recognized as discrete items in the quarter in which they occur.

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent due to taxes on foreign operations. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent due to taxes on foreign operations and a deferred tax expense related to the remeasurement of taxes in the U.K. as a result of the enactment of Finance Act 2025 on March 20, 2025.

On March 20, 2025, Finance Act 2025 was enacted, receiving Royal Assent, and included amendments to the Energy (Oil and Gas) Profits Levy Act of 2022, increasing the levy from a 35 percent rate to a 38 percent rate, among other changes, effective for the period of November 1, 2024 through March 31, 2030.

On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (OBBBA). Among other changes, the OBBBA expanded and made permanent 100 percent bonus depreciation for eligible assets acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, and aligned the treatment of intangible drilling costs for corporate alternative minimum tax (CAMT) purposes with regular tax treatment starting in 2026. The Company does not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on total tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2026, as impacts to current tax expense are offset by impacts to deferred tax expense.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income or capital taxes in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax reserves are related to tax years that may be subject to examination by the relevant taxing authority.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

The Company is party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, including litigation and governmental and regulatory controls, which also may include controls related to the potential impacts of climate change. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has an accrued liability of approximately $27 million for all legal contingencies that are deemed to be probable of occurring and can be reasonably estimated. The Company’s estimates are based on information known about the matters and its experience in contesting, litigating, and settling similar matters. Although actual amounts could differ from management’s estimate, none of the actions are believed by management to involve future amounts that would be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity after consideration of recorded accruals. With respect to material matters for which the Company believes an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, the Company has disclosed the nature of the matter and a range of potential exposure, unless an estimate cannot be made at this time. It is management’s opinion that the loss for any other litigation matters and claims that are reasonably possible to occur will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

For additional information on Legal Matters described below, refer to Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Australian Operations Divestiture Dispute

Pursuant to a Sale and Purchase Agreement dated April 9, 2015 (Quadrant SPA), the Company and its subsidiaries divested Australian operations to Quadrant Energy Pty Ltd (Quadrant). Closing occurred on June 5, 2015. In April 2017, the Company filed suit against Quadrant for breach of the Quadrant SPA. In its suit, the Company seeks approximately AUD $80 million. In December 2017, Quadrant filed a defense of equitable set-off to the Company’s claim and a counterclaim seeking approximately AUD $200 million in the aggregate. In 2018, Quadrant was acquired by Australian oil and gas company Santos, Ltd., who assumed Quadrant’s place in the ongoing litigation. In early 2025, Santos amended the pending counterclaims to abandon a number of claims that had been asserted against the Company but maintaining counterclaims for approximately AUD $57 million. Santos then filed a new lawsuit in the Supreme Court of Western Australia contending that it may be liable to the Australian Taxation Office for assessments, penalties, and interest related to the 2014 and 2015 tax years of approximately AUD $133 million and asserting that, if such amounts must be paid, the Company is liable to Santos for those amounts under the Quadrant SPA. All lawsuits related to the Quadrant SPA have now been consolidated into the same proceeding. The Company will vigorously prosecute its claim while vigorously defending against any counterclaims.

Delaware Litigation

On September 10, 2020, the State of Delaware filed suit, individually and on behalf of the people of the State of Delaware, against over 25 oil and gas companies alleging damages as a result of global warming. Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and abatement under various tort theories. The Company is vigorously defending the suit.

Environmental Matters

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an undiscounted reserve for environmental remediation of approximately $2 million.

The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of March 31, 2026, that have not been provided for or would otherwise have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. There can be no assurance, however, that current regulatory requirements will not change or past non-compliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Company’s properties.

Potential Decommissioning Obligations on Sold Properties

In 2013, Apache sold its Gulf of America (GOA) Shelf operations and properties and its GOA operating subsidiary, GOM Shelf LLC (GOM Shelf) to Fieldwood Energy LLC (Fieldwood). Fieldwood assumed the obligation to decommission the properties held by GOM Shelf and the properties acquired from Apache and its other subsidiaries (collectively, the Legacy GOA Assets). On February 14, 2018, Fieldwood filed for (and subsequently emerged from) Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. On August 3, 2020, Fieldwood filed for (and subsequently emerged from) Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for a second time. Upon emergence from this second bankruptcy, the Legacy GOA Assets were separated into a standalone company, which was subsequently merged into GOM Shelf. Under GOM Shelf’s limited liability company agreement, the proceeds of production of the Legacy GOA Assets are to be used to fund the operation of GOM Shelf and the decommissioning of Legacy GOA Assets. The decommissioning obligations for the Legacy GOA Assets are partially secured by a trust account of which Apache is a beneficiary and which is funded by net profits interests (NPIs) depending on future oil prices. In addition, as part of the resolution of Fieldwood’s second bankruptcy, Apache agreed to loan GOM Shelf up to $400 million to perform decommissioning, with such loans extended from time to time and when funds in the trust account are exhausted. Such loans and related obligations are secured by first and prior liens on the Legacy GOA Assets.

By letter dated April 5, 2022 (replacing two earlier letters) and by subsequent letter dated March 1, 2023, GOM Shelf notified the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) that it was unable to fund the decommissioning obligations that it was obligated to perform on certain of the Legacy GOA Assets. As a result, Apache and other current and former owners in these assets have received orders from BSEE and demands from third parties to decommission certain of the Legacy GOA Assets included in GOM Shelf’s notifications to BSEE. Apache expects to receive similar orders and demands on the other Legacy GOA Assets included in GOM Shelf’s notification letters. Apache has also received orders to decommission other Legacy GOA Assets that were not included in GOM Shelf’s notification letters. Further, Apache anticipates that GOM Shelf may send additional such notices to BSEE in the future and that it may receive additional orders from BSEE requiring it to decommission other Legacy GOA Assets.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company recorded an asset of $41 million representing the remaining amount the Company expects to be reimbursed from security related to these decommissioning costs.

The Company has also recorded contingent liabilities in the amounts of $878 million and $881 million for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, representing the estimated costs of decommissioning it may be required to perform on the Legacy GOA Assets. There have been no other changes in estimates from December 31, 2025 that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

11. CAPITAL STOCK

Net Income per Common Share

The following table presents a reconciliation of the components of basic and diluted net income per common share in the consolidated financial statements:


	For the Quarter Ended March 31,
	2026					2025
	Income		Shares	Per Share		Income		Shares	Per Share

	(In millions, except per share amounts)
Basic:
Income attributable to common stock	$	446	354	$	1.26	$	347	364	$	0.96


Diluted:
Income attributable to common stock	$	446	354	$	1.26	$	347	364	$	0.96

The diluted earnings per share calculation excludes options and restricted stock units that were anti-dilutive of 2.8 million and 3.6 million during the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Stock Repurchase Program

The Company did not purchase any shares during the first quarter of 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase up to 21.9 million shares. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased 4.4 million shares at an average price of $22.87 per share.

The Company is not obligated to acquire any additional shares. Shares may be purchased either in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

Common Stock Dividend

For the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the Company paid $88 million and $91 million, respectively, in dividends on its common stock.

12. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are engaged in exploration, development, and/or production across four operating segments: the U.S., Egypt, North Sea, and Suriname. The Company’s business explores for, develops, and produces crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids. The Company also has exploration interests in Alaska, Uruguay, and other international locations that may, over time, result in reportable discoveries and development opportunities.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is a function (not necessarily an individual) that allocates the resources of the reporting entity and assesses the performance of its segments. Decisions to assess performance and allocate resources are made by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr. John J. Christmann, IV. Therefore, management has concluded that the CEO of the Company is the CODM. The information regularly reviewed by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources is primarily associated with operating income from each segment and the resulting free cash flow, amongst other metrics. The Company concluded that the most comparable measure under U.S. GAAP is operating income.

Financial information for each segment is presented below:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion relates to APA Corporation (APA or the Company) and its consolidated subsidiaries and should be read together with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in Part I, Item 1—Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as related information set forth in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Overview

APA is an independent energy company that owns subsidiaries that explore for, develop, and produce crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The Company’s business has oil and gas operations in three geographic areas: the U.S., Egypt, and offshore the U.K. in the North Sea (North Sea). APA also has active development, exploration and appraisal operations ongoing in Suriname, as well as exploration interests in Uruguay, Alaska, and other international locations that may, over time, result in reportable discoveries and development opportunities. As a holding company, APA Corporation’s primary assets are its ownership interests in its consolidated subsidiaries.

APA believes energy underpins global progress, and the Company wants to be a part of the solution as society works to meet growing global demand for reliable and affordable energy. APA strives to meet those challenges while creating value for all its stakeholders.

Uncertainties in the global supply chain and financial markets impact oil supply and demand and contribute to commodity price volatility. These uncertainties include the impacts and duration of armed conflicts involving Iran, Russia, Ukraine, Israel, Lebanon, and Gaza, inflation, current and potential tariffs or other trade barriers, global trade policies, and disputes, and actions taken by foreign oil and gas producing nations, including OPEC+. Despite these uncertainties, the Company is focused on its longer-term objectives: (1) to remain committed to providing affordable, reliable, and responsibly produced energy; (2) to deliver top operational performance across safety, environmental responsibility, execution, and risk management measures; (3) to maintain financial discipline by managing costs, protecting the balance sheet to underpin the generation of cash flow in excess of its upstream exploration, appraisal, and development capital program that can be directed to debt reduction, share repurchases, and other return of capital to its shareholders; and (4) to build and grow a diverse and balanced high-quality portfolio with scale through acquisitions, exploration, and organic opportunities.

The Company closely monitors hydrocarbon pricing fundamentals to reallocate capital as part of its ongoing planning process. APA’s diversified asset portfolio and operational flexibility provide the Company the ability to timely respond to near-term price volatility and effectively manage its investment programs accordingly. For additional detail on the Company’s forward capital investment outlook, refer to “Capital Resources and Liquidity” below.

In the first quarter of 2026, the Company continued its cost reduction efforts to drive sustainable cost savings for the long-term. The Company remained focused on reducing overhead costs, improving the capital cost structure for its drilling, completions, and facility investments, and driving efficiencies of day-to-day field operating practices. The Company expects an additional $100 million of annualized savings to be achieved by the end of 2026, adding to the $350 million of annualized savings across G&A, LOE, and capital captured during the prior year.

The Company remains committed to its capital return framework for equity holders to participate more directly and materially in cash returns. The Company believes returning 60 percent of free cash flow through dividends and share repurchases creates a good balance for providing near-term cash returns to shareholders while still recognizing the importance of longer-term balance sheet strengthening.

•The Company pays a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share on its common stock.

•Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021 and through the end of the first quarter of 2026, the Company has repurchased 98.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock.

•From year-end 2021 through the date of this filing, the Company has repaid $3.6 billion of long-term debt, including $555 million repaid subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 2026.

Financial and Operational Highlights

In the first quarter of 2026, the Company reported net income attributable to common stock of $446 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $347 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in net income in the first quarter of 2026, compared to the first quarter of 2025, was primarily driven by improved margins on third-party purchased oil and gas activity and lower operating expenses driven by prior year cost savings initiatives.

The Company generated $554 million of cash from operating activities during the first three months of 2026, 49 percent lower than the first three months of 2025. APA’s lower operating cash flows for the first three months of 2026 were primarily driven by the collection of outstanding Egypt receivables in the prior year and timing of other working capital items. The Company paid $88 million in dividends to APA common stockholders during the first three months of 2026. The Company also repaid $79 million of long-term debt that matured during the quarter.

Key operational highlights include:

United States

•Daily boe production from the Company’s U.S. assets, which decreased 11 percent from the first quarter of 2025, accounted for 60 percent of the Company’s worldwide production during the first quarter of 2026. The Company averaged five drilling rigs in the Permian Basin, including four rigs in the Southern Midland Basin and one rig in the Delaware Basin in the first quarter of 2026. The Company brought online 19 operated wells during the quarter. The Company’s core Permian Basin development program continues to represent a key growth area for the U.S. assets.

•APA holds approximately 750,000 MMBtu/d of firm capacity on various pipelines in the Permian Basin. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had open basis swap contracts which purchased Waha and sold NYMEX Henry Hub on approximately one-third of its firm transport capacity for 2026, thereby locking in a significant portion of cash flows associated with its gas marketing activities for the near term. Refer to Note 4—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities for further discussion of these basis swap agreements.

International

•In Egypt, the Company averaged 12 drilling rigs and drilled 16 new productive wells during the first quarter of 2026. The Company also averaged 20 workover rigs as it continues to align its drilling and workover activity with a goal of driving improved capital efficiency. First quarter 2026 gross and net production from the Company’s Egypt assets increased 2 percent and 8 percent, respectively, from the first quarter of 2025.

•In Egypt, following the success of the 2025 gas program, the Company expects approximately one-half of its rig activities to be gas-focused and anticipates continued strong performance for the rest of the year, with realized gas prices increasing through the period.

First-Quarter 2026 compared to First-Quarter 2025

Crude Oil Crude oil revenues for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $1.6 billion, a $44 million increase from the comparative 2025 quarter. A 7 percent increase in average realized prices increased first-quarter 2026 oil revenues by $107 million compared to the first quarter of 2025, while 4 percent lower average daily sales volumes decreased revenues by $63 million. Crude oil accounted for 85 percent of total oil and gas production revenues and 52 percent of worldwide production in the first quarter of 2026.

The Company’s worldwide oil production decreased 4.5 Mb/d to 232 Mb/d during the first quarter of 2026 from the comparative prior-year period, primarily a result of natural production decline in the U.S. and North Sea, operational downtime, and the sale of non-core assets in the U.S. Also during the first quarter of 2026, the timing of liftings in the North Sea drove an additional 4.4 Mb/d decrease in sales volumes compared to the same prior-year period. These decreases were partially offset by drilling activity in the Permian Basin and improved well performance in the North Sea.

Natural Gas Natural gas revenues for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $157 million, a $76 million decrease from the comparative 2025 quarter. A 25 percent decrease in average realized prices, driven by periods of negative pricing across the Permian Basin, decreased first-quarter 2026 natural gas revenues by $57 million compared to the first quarter of 2025, while 11 percent lower average daily production decreased gas revenues by $19 million. Natural gas accounted for 8 percent of total oil and gas production revenues and 31 percent of worldwide production during the first quarter of 2026.

The Company’s worldwide natural gas production decreased 99.1 MMcf/d to 824.4 MMcf/d during the first quarter of 2026 from the comparative prior-year period, primarily a result of increased volume curtailments at Alpine High compared with the 2025 period in response to extreme Waha basis differentials, including periods of negative pricing. These curtailments were undertaken to mitigate the economic impact of selling gas into constrained markets at uneconomic or negative prices. Natural gas production was also lower as a result of the sale of non-core assets and operational downtime in the U.S., and natural production decline in the U.S. and North Sea. These decreases were partially offset by drilling activity in Egypt and the Permian Basin, with Egypt also benefitting from higher realized natural gas prices and improved well performance in the North Sea.

NGL NGL revenues for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $141 million, a $65 million decrease from the comparative 2025 quarter. A 27 percent decrease in average realized prices decreased first-quarter 2026 NGL revenues by $56 million compared to the first quarter of 2025, while 7 percent lower average daily production decreased revenues by $9 million. NGLs accounted for 7 percent of total oil and gas production revenues and 17 percent of worldwide production during the first quarter of 2026.

The Company’s worldwide NGL production decreased 5.6 Mb/d to 73.0 Mb/d during the first quarter of 2026 from the comparative prior-year period, primarily a result of increased volume curtailments and weather shut-ins compared with the 2025 period. NGL production was also lower as a result of the sale of non-core assets and operational downtime in the U.S. and natural production decline in the U.S. and North Sea. These decreases were partially offset by drilling activity in the Permian Basin and improved well performance in the North Sea.

Purchased Oil and Gas Sales

Purchased oil and gas sales represent volumes attributable to domestic oil and gas purchases that were sold by the Company primarily to fulfill oil and natural gas takeaway obligations and commitments, including deliveries under international LNG price-based contracts. Sales related to purchased volumes totaled $385 million and $597 million during the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Purchased oil and gas sales were partially offset by associated purchase costs of $75 million and $474 million during the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The higher margin between purchased volume sales compared to costs realized during the first quarter of 2026 was primarily attributable to extreme Permian Basin natural gas price differentials with Houston Ship Channel pricing.

Operating Expenses

The Company’s operating expenses were as follows and include costs attributable to a noncontrolling interest in Egypt:


	For the Quarter Ended March 31,
	2026		2025

	(In millions)
Lease operating expenses	$	362	$	407
Gathering, processing, and transmission	91		104

Other assets	7		7
Asset retirement obligation accretion	42		39

Financing costs, net	57		(57)
Total Operating Expenses	$	1,385	$	1,849

Lease Operating Expenses (LOE)

LOE decreased $45 million from the first quarter of 2025. On a per-unit basis, LOE decreased 5 percent in the first quarter of 2026 when compared to the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in absolute costs was primarily driven by the sale of non-core assets in the Permian Basin and continued cost reduction efforts across all operating areas.

Gathering, Processing, and Transmission (GPT)

GPT costs decreased $13 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by a decrease in production volumes in the U.S. compared to the same prior-year period.

Purchased Oil and Gas Costs

Purchased oil and gas costs decreased $399 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by decreased oil and gas volume purchases following the expiration of certain third-party contracts in 2025 and gas volumes purchased at significantly lower prices in the Permian Basin.

Taxes Other Than Income

Taxes other than income decreased $17 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily from lower severance taxes driven by decreased production volumes in the U.S. and lower ad valorem taxes compared to the same prior-year period.

Exploration Expenses

The Company’s exploration expenses were as follows:


	For the Quarter Ended March 31,
	2026		2025

	(In millions)
Unproved leasehold impairments	$	1	$	—
Dry hole expense	11		11
Geological and geophysical expense	2		4
Exploration overhead and other	12		15
Total Exploration	$	26	$	30

Exploration expenses decreased $4 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily the result of lower exploration overhead and geological and geophysical expense in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same prior-year period.

General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses

G&A expenses increased $17 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by higher cash-based stock compensation expense resulting from changes in the Company’s stock price during the period, partially offset by impacts from cost-reduction efforts on personnel and other overhead expenses.

Transaction, Reorganization, and Separation (TRS) Costs

TRS costs decreased $30 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily associated with employee separations and other cost-saving initiatives that occurred during the first quarter of 2025.

Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization (DD&A)

Total DD&A expenses decreased $90 million from the first quarter of 2025. The Company’s DD&A rate on its oil and gas properties decreased $1.21 per boe from the first quarter of 2025. The decrease in DD&A expense on an absolute basis and on a per boe basis was primarily driven by lower DD&A rates resulting from the sale of non-core assets in the Permian Basin during 2025.

Financing Costs, Net

The Company’s Financing costs were as follows:


	For the Quarter Ended March 31,
	2026		2025

	(In millions)
Interest expense	$	70	$	91
Amortization of debt issuance costs	1		2
Capitalized interest	(14)		(4)
Gain on extinguishment of debt	—		(142)
Interest income	—		(4)
Total Financing costs, net	$	57	$	(57)

Net financing costs increased $114 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily the result of gains on extinguishment of debt from the Company’s cash tender purchases during the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense from the associated lower long-term debt balance.

Provision for Income Taxes

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Operating cash flows are the Company’s principal source of liquidity. The Company’s short-term and long-term operating cash flows are impacted by highly volatile commodity prices, as well as production costs and sales volumes. The Company expects commodity prices to continue to be volatile in the near term as a result of geopolitical instability and tensions, including in the Middle East, macroeconomic uncertainty, current and potential tariffs or trade barriers, supply chain disruptions, and concerns over a potential economic recession. Significant changes in commodity prices impact the Company’s revenues, earnings, and cash flows. These changes potentially impact the Company’s liquidity if costs do not trend with commodity prices. Historically, costs have trended with commodity prices, albeit on a lag. Sales volumes also impact cash flows; however, they have a less volatile impact in the short term.

The Company’s long-term operating cash flows are dependent on reserve replacement and the level of costs required for ongoing operations. Cash investments are required to fund activity necessary to offset the inherent declines in production and proved crude oil and natural gas reserves. Future success in maintaining and growing reserves and production is highly dependent on the success of the Company’s drilling program and its ability to add reserves economically. Changes in commodity prices also impact estimated quantities of proved reserves.

At this time, the Company is unable to predict to what extent ongoing international conflicts in the Middle East, Russia, and Ukraine, and potential changes in trade restrictions and tariffs will impact its business. If inflationary pressures from these and other economic conditions persist or worsen, the Company may incur additional operating costs. The Company will continue to monitor the impact and consequences of these factors on its operations.

The Company plans to invest approximately $2.1 billion in upstream capital investment in 2026. The Company is committed to maintaining a safe, steady, and efficient level of activity as part of its planned capital investment program. For the rest of 2026, the Company will continue to budget its capital program at levels to fund activity necessary to offset inherent declines in production and proved oil and natural gas reserves, subject to prevailing commodity prices. Future rig activity levels and drilling targets will be dependent on the success of the Company’s drilling program and its ability to add reserves economically.

The Company believes its available liquidity and capital resource alternatives, combined with proactive measures to adjust its capital budget to reflect volatile commodity prices and anticipated operating cash flows, will be adequate to fund short-term and long-term operations, including the Company’s capital development program, repayment of debt maturities, payment of dividends, share buy-back activity, and amounts that may ultimately be paid in connection with commitments and contingencies.

The Company may also elect to utilize available cash on hand, committed borrowing capacity, access to both debt and equity capital markets, or proceeds from the sale of nonstrategic assets for all other liquidity and capital resource needs.

For additional information, refer to Part I, Items 1 and 2—Business and Properties, and Item 1A—Risk Factors, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Sources of Cash and Cash Equivalents

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Operating cash flows are the Company’s primary source of capital and liquidity and are impacted, both in the short term and the long term, by volatile commodity prices. The factors that determine operating cash flows are largely the same as those that affect net earnings, with the exception of non-cash expenses such as DD&A, exploratory dry hole expense, asset impairments, asset retirement obligation accretion, and deferred income tax expense.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the first three months of 2026 totaled $554 million, $542 million lower from the first three months of 2025, primarily due to lower revenues from decreased oil and gas production, lower natural gas prices, collection of outstanding Egypt receivables in 2025, and timing of other working capital items.

For a detailed discussion of commodity prices, production, and operating expenses, refer to “Results of Operations” in this Item 2. For additional detail on the changes in operating assets and liabilities and the non-cash expenses that do not impact net cash provided by operating activities, refer to the Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows in the Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part I, Item 1, Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents

Additions to Oil & Gas Property During the first three months of 2026 and 2025, exploration and development cash expenditures were $542 million and $777 million, respectively. The decrease in capital investment compared to the prior-year period is directly related to the Company’s efficiency gains on drilling and completion activities in the Permian Basin and Egypt. The Company operated an average of approximately 17 drilling rigs during the first three months of 2026, compared to an average of approximately 22 drilling rigs during the first three months of 2025.

Leasehold and Property Acquisitions During the first three months of 2026 and 2025, the Company completed other leasehold and property acquisitions, primarily in the Permian Basin, for total cash consideration of $4 million and $13 million, respectively.

Payments on Fixed-Rate Debt During the first three months of 2026, the Company repaid in cash on maturity $79 million of long-term debt due during the quarter, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the maturity date.

During the first three months of 2025, the Company settled its private exchange and cash tender offers for certain notes and debentures of Apache and made open market repurchases for an aggregate cash payment amount of $905 million, reflecting principal amounts, discount to par, and associated fees.

The Company may, and expects that Apache will continue to, reduce debt outstanding under its indentures from time to time.

Dividends Paid to APA Common Stockholders During the first three months of 2026 and 2025, the Company paid $88 million and $91 million, respectively, for dividends on its common stock.

Distributions to Noncontrolling Interest Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation (Sinopec) holds a one-third minority participation interest in the Company’s oil and gas operations in Egypt. During the first three months of 2026 and 2025, the Company paid $65 million and $126 million, respectively, in cash distributions to Sinopec.

Debt As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $4.4 billion in total debt outstanding, which consisted of notes and debentures of APA and Apache and finance lease obligations. As of March 31, 2026, current debt included $2 million of finance lease obligations and $132 million of APA and Apache notes coming due within the next year.

Indenture Debt Activity On March 15, 2026, APA and Apache repaid in cash on maturity the outstanding $79 million aggregate principal amount of their respective 7.70% Notes due 2026, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the maturity date.

Committed Credit Facilities On January 15, 2025, the Company entered into two unsecured syndicated credit agreements for general corporate purposes:

Uncommitted Lines of Credit Each of the Company and Apache, from time to time, has and uses uncommitted credit and letter of credit facilities for working capital and credit support purposes. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities. As of March 31, 2026, there were £567 million and $10 million in letters of credit outstanding under these facilities. As of December 31, 2025, there were £901 million and $10 million in letters of credit outstanding under these facilities.

Commercial Paper Program The Company has a commercial paper program under which it from time to time may issue in private placements exempt from registration under the Securities Act short-term unsecured promissory notes (CP Notes) up to a maximum aggregate face amount of $2.0 billion outstanding at any time. The maturities of CP Notes may vary but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. Outstanding CP Notes are supported by available borrowing capacity under the Company’s committed revolving credit facilities for general corporate purposes, which as of March 31, 2026, included the $2.0 billion USD Agreement.

The CP Notes are sold under customary market terms in the U.S. commercial paper market at a discount from par or at par and bear interest at rates determined at the time of issuance.

As of each of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no CP Notes outstanding.

Subsequent Events—Indenture Debt Activity On April 6, 2026, APA and Apache fully redeemed their respective 4.875% Notes due 2027 and 4.375% Notes due 2028. Note holders were paid an aggregate $425 million in cash (comprised of outstanding principal amounts and make-whole premiums), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company enters into customary agreements in the oil and gas industry for drilling rig commitments, firm transportation agreements, and other obligations that may not be recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. For more information regarding these and other contractual arrangements, please refer to “Contractual Obligations” in Part II, Item 7 of APA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations described therein.

Potential Decommissioning Obligations on Sold Properties

In 2013, Apache sold its Gulf of America (GOA) Shelf operations and properties and its GOA operating subsidiary, GOM Shelf LLC (GOM Shelf) to Fieldwood Energy LLC (Fieldwood). Fieldwood assumed the obligation to decommission the properties held by GOM Shelf and the properties acquired from Apache and its other subsidiaries (collectively, the Legacy GOA Assets). On February 14, 2018, Fieldwood filed for (and subsequently emerged from) Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. On August 3, 2020, Fieldwood filed for (and subsequently emerged from) Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for a second time. Upon emergence from this second bankruptcy, the Legacy GOA Assets were separated into a standalone company, which was subsequently merged into GOM Shelf. Under GOM Shelf’s limited liability company agreement, the proceeds of production of the Legacy GOA Assets are to be used to fund the operation of GOM Shelf and the decommissioning of Legacy GOA Assets. The decommissioning obligations for the Legacy GOA Assets are partially secured by a trust account of which Apache is a beneficiary and which is funded by net profits interests (NPIs) depending on future oil prices. In addition, after such sources have been exhausted, Apache agreed upon resolution of GOM Shelf’s second bankruptcy to loan GOM Shelf of up to $400 million to perform decommissioning, with such loans and related obligations secured by first and prior liens on the Legacy GOA Assets.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company recorded an asset of $41 million, representing the remaining amount the Company expects to be reimbursed from security related to these decommissioning costs.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about the Company’s exposure to market risk. The term market risk relates to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in oil, natural gas, and NGL prices, interest rates, or foreign currency and adverse governmental actions. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. The forward-looking information provides indicators of how the Company views and manages its ongoing market risk exposures.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company’s revenues, earnings, cash flow, capital investments and, ultimately, future rate of growth are highly dependent on the prices the Company receives for its crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs, which have historically been very volatile because of unpredictable events such as economic growth or retraction, weather, political climate, and global supply and demand. The Company continually monitors its market risk exposure, as oil and gas supply and demand are impacted by uncertainties in the commodity and financial markets, actions taken by foreign oil and gas producing nations, including OPEC+, and other current events.

The Company’s average crude oil price realizations increased 7 percent from $73.73 per barrel to $78.69 per barrel during the first quarters of 2025 and 2026, respectively. The Company’s average natural gas price realizations decreased 25 percent from $2.81 per Mcf to $2.12 per Mcf during the first quarters of 2025 and 2026, respectively. The Company’s average NGL price realizations decreased 27 percent from $28.75 per barrel to $20.96 per barrel during the first quarters of 2025 and 2026, respectively. Based on average daily production for the first quarter of 2026, a $1.00 per barrel change in the weighted average realized oil price would have increased or decreased revenues for the quarter by approximately $21 million, a $0.10 per Mcf change in the weighted average realized natural gas price would have increased or decreased revenues for the quarter by approximately $7 million, and a $1.00 per barrel change in the weighted average realized NGL price would have increased or decreased revenues for the quarter by approximately $7 million.

The Company periodically enters into derivative positions on a portion of its projected crude oil and natural gas production through a variety of financial and physical arrangements intended to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from changes in commodity prices. Such derivative positions may include the use of futures contracts, swaps, and/or options. The Company does not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had open natural gas derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges in a liability position with a fair value of $122 million. A 10 percent increase in natural gas prices would decrease the liability by approximately $21 million, while a 10 percent decrease in prices would increase the liability by approximately $21 million. These fair value changes assume volatility based on prevailing market parameters at March 31, 2026. Refer to Note 4—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for notional volumes and terms with the Company’s derivative contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $4.4 billion, net, in outstanding notes and debentures, all of which was fixed-rate debt, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.62 percent. Although near-term changes in interest rates may affect the fair value of fixed-rate debt, such changes do not expose the Company to the risk of earnings or cash flow loss associated with that debt.

The Company is also exposed to interest rate risk related to its interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents balances and amounts outstanding under its term loan facility, commercial paper program, and syndicated credit facilities. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $293 million in cash and cash equivalents, approximately 93 percent of which was invested in money market funds and short-term investments with major financial institutions. As of March 31, 2026, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Company’s term loan facility, commercial paper program, and syndicated revolving credit facilities. Changes in the interest rate applicable to short-term investments, term loan facility, commercial paper program, and credit facility borrowings are expected to have an immaterial impact on earnings and cash flows but could impact interest costs associated with future debt issuances or any future borrowings.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The Company’s cash activities relating to certain international operations is based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of cash flows measured in foreign currencies. The Company’s North Sea production is sold under U.S. dollar contracts, while the majority of costs incurred are paid in British pounds. The Company’s Egypt production is sold under U.S. dollar contracts, and the majority of costs incurred are denominated in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in British pounds are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents based on the average exchange rates during the period. The Company monitors foreign currency exchange rates of countries in which it is conducting business and may, from time to time, implement measures to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Foreign currency gains and losses also arise when monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the end of each month. Foreign currency gains and losses are included as either a component of “Other” under “Revenues and Other” or, as is the case when the Company re-measures its foreign tax liabilities, as a component of the Company’s provision for income tax expense on the statement of consolidated operations. Foreign currency net gain or loss would not be material from a 10 percent weakening or strengthening, respectively, in the British pound as of March 31, 2026.

The Company is subject to increased foreign currency risk associated with the effects of decommissioning obligations in the North Sea. The Company has periodically entered into foreign exchange contracts in order to minimize the impact of fluctuating exchange rates for the British pound on the Company’s operating expenses. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding foreign exchange contracts with a total notional amount of £108 million that are used to reduce its exposure to fluctuating foreign exchange rates for the British Pound. A 10 percent strengthening of the British pound against the U.S. dollar would result in a foreign currency net gain of $6 million, while a 10 percent weakening of the British pound against the U.S. dollar would result in a loss of $14 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

John J. Christmann IV, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, in his capacity as principal executive officer, and Ben C. Rodgers, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, in his capacity as principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation and as of the date of that evaluation, these officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, providing effective means to ensure that the information the Company is required to disclose under applicable laws and regulations is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company periodically reviews the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls, including compliance with various laws and regulations that apply to its operations, both inside and outside the United States. The Company makes modifications to improve the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls, and may take other corrective action, if the Company’s reviews identify deficiencies or weaknesses in its controls.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Refer to Part I, Item 3—Legal Proceedings of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (which is hereby incorporated by reference herein), for a description of material legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except as set forth herein, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A—Risk Factors of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

RISKS RELATED TO INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS

Escalation of the current armed conflict involving Iran could further increase commodity price volatility, disrupt global energy markets and infrastructure, and adversely affect the Company’s operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

The ongoing conflict involving Iran has caused significant uncertainty in global energy and financial markets and disrupted supply chains. Escalation of the conflict or a broader regional conflict could further disrupt the production, transportation, and export of crude oil, natural gas (including liquefied natural gas), and NGLs, including through additional damage to or targeting of energy infrastructure, pipelines, refineries, export terminals, and related facilities. In addition, while not currently involving the Company’s assets or operations, instability affecting key transit routes, including the Strait of Hormuz, has resulted in shipping delays, rerouting, increased transportation and insurance costs, and reduced market access for the oil and gas industry in the Middle East, further contributing to commodity price volatility. The current elevated commodity price environment may increase input costs and contribute to broader inflationary pressures, including from the Company’s suppliers and contractors, and may reduce demand for the products the Company produces. Conversely, any resolution or de-escalation of the conflict could result in a rapid decline in commodity prices, which may adversely impact the Company’s revenues and operating results.

The conflict also heightens the risk of indirect impacts on the Company’s business. State or state-sponsored cyber actors may target energy companies, critical infrastructure, financial institutions, or service providers, which could result in operational disruptions, loss of data, or other adverse effects. Regional instability may also affect countries in which the Company operates, including Egypt, by impairing government finances, limiting access to foreign currency, or delaying payments, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to receive timely payment for production or repatriate funds. In addition, supply disruptions may increase reliance on domestically produced oil and natural gas in countries in which the Company operates, including Egypt, which could reduce volumes available for export and negatively impact realized prices. The occurrence of any of these events, individually or in combination, could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

During the third quarter of 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of 40 million shares of the Company’s common stock. Shares may be purchased either in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The Company is not obligated to acquire any specific number of shares and did not purchase any shares during the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the current authorization is 21.9 million.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, none of the Company’s officers or directors adopted or terminated any “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act).
