ESENTIA Energy Development, S.A.B. de C.V. reported its unaudited financial results for the third quarter of 2026, highlighting growth in Adjusted EBITDA, reduced leverage, and ongoing infrastructure expansion efforts. The reported figures indicate financial progress alongside strategic steps toward regional growth.

Financial Performance Highlights

According to the company's announcement issued on October 29, 2026, financial results for the period included the following metrics:

• Adjusted EBITDA: Reached US$86.0 million in 3Q26, reflecting a 1.3% increase compared to the third quarter of 2025. For the first nine months of the year, Adjusted EBITDA totaled US$262.5 million, up 3.5% year-over-year.
• Adjusted Revenues: Reported at US$111.7 million for the quarter.
• Leverage: The Net Debt to LTM Adjusted EBITDA ratio decreased to 3.9x as of September 30, 2026, down from 4.1x at the end of 2025, driven by EBITDA growth and a reduction in gross debt.
• Net Income: Totaled US$24.5 million for the quarter, marking a 13.1% decline from the same period in the prior year due to a higher tax burden. However, net income for the first nine months rose 18.9% to US$65.9 million.

Expansion Strategy and EOM Acquisition Agreement

ESENTIA is advancing its infrastructure expansion strategy, which includes an agreement to acquire EOM, the owner of the Guadalajara–Manzanillo gas pipeline. This planned acquisition is intended to extend the company's presence toward the Pacific region.

• Acquisition Terms: The company expects to finance the EOM acquisition entirely with its own funds without adding new debt. Completion is anticipated during the first half of 2027, pending regulatory approvals and closing conditions.
• Phase I and II Milestones: Phase I of the expansion plan remains on schedule to achieve mechanical completion of the Aguascalientes Compression Station in the first quarter of 2027 within budget, with 100% of its capacity covered by firm contracts. Phase II is expected to enter service in the second quarter of 2028, with 56% of capacity currently covered by firm contracts.
