Executive summary

  • Achieved strong operational and financial performance in 1Q26, leveraging disciplined execution and favorable pricing, with milestones in exploration, production, refining, and international expansion.

  • Maintained production at 725 mboed, with robust refining and transportation throughput, and advanced strategic growth initiatives including the Brava Energia transaction in Brazil and expanded gas infrastructure.

  • Focused on energy transition, expanding gas supply, renewable energy projects, LNG import partnerships, and infrastructure for regasification and transmission.

  • Board changes and dividend distribution of COP 4.4 trillion (55.1% of 2025 net income) were approved.

Financial highlights

  • Q1 2026 revenues reached COP 28.6 trillion, EBITDA COP 13.5 trillion, and net income between COP 2.9 trillion and 3.1 trillion, with EBITDA margin at 47%.

  • Revenue declined 8.7% year-over-year, but EBITDA rose 1.5% and net income margin declined due to higher taxes and financial expenses.

  • Refining margin rose 60% year-over-year to $17.3 per barrel; refining EBITDA nearly tripled versus Q1 2025.

  • Cash balance at quarter-end was COP 14 trillion, with positive free cash flow and 59% held in USD.

  • Downstream segment contributed an additional 10 percentage points to EBITDA versus 1Q25.

Outlook and guidance

  • Full-year production target maintained at 730,000–740,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, with CapEx guidance for 2026 at $5.4–$6.7 billion, trending toward the upper end, and Brent base case at $83/bbl.

  • Sensitivity: $1 change in Brent impacts EBITDA by COP 1.6 trillion and net profit by COP 800 million; FX and external risks such as weather events and asset blockades are key variables.

  • Continued investment in operational reliability, value generation, and portfolio diversification.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
