MIDLAND, TX, Feb. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mexco Energy Corporation (NYSE American: MXC) today reported net income of $615,702, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the nine months ending December 31, 2025.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company reported net income of $50,245, or $0.02 per diluted share, a decrease of 89% when compared to $469,133, or $0.22 per diluted share, for the prior year quarter. This decrease is primarily due to the decline in oil prices. Operating revenues in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 were $1,383,887.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, operating revenues were $4,932,806, a decrease of 8% when compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average oil prices and production volumes partially offset by an increase in average natural gas prices and production volumes as well as an increase in income from the Company’s most recent limited liability company investment. Oil contributed to 77% of our operating revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2026.
The Company currently expects to participate in the drilling and completion of fifty horizontal wells at an estimated aggregate cost of approximately $1.6 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, of which $.9 million has been expended to date.
The Company has also expended approximately $650,000 to date for royalty and mineral interest acquisitions in approximately 100 producing wells generally with additional potential development located in seven counties in four states.
