Funds from operations increased by 32% to $78 million ($0.47/share) compared to Q1 2026.
Net debt reduced by $24 million, ending the quarter at $251 million.
Gross drilling activity increased by 35% from Q1 2026 to 300 wells, driven by U.S. activity and Canadian oil-weighted plays.

The big picture

Freehold Royalties' strong Q2 2026 performance reflects a constructive commodity price environment driving both revenue growth and increased drilling activity. The company's strategic focus on crude oil-weighted developments in North America, supported by a well-financed operator base and a strong balance sheet, positions it to continue delivering attractive long-term value. However, the company must navigate potential challenges such as natural gas egress constraints at the Waha hub and geopolitical risks affecting commodity prices.
