The company’s San Mateo midstream business delivered particularly strong results, achieving record quarterly EBITDA helped by the Marlan Plant expansion. KeyBanc believes the unchanged 2025 segment EBITDA projection of $285 million appears conservative, especially considering the 8% reduction to 2025 midstream operating expenses reported with earnings.
KeyBanc highlighted $43 million in acquisitions during the second quarter but noted it was unclear whether these acquisitions included associated production that may have contributed to the strong volumes and modest guidance update.
The research firm suggested investors should watch for potential midstream developments, including a possible sale by Five Point of its 49% stake in San Mateo, or potentially an IPO of the midstream business.
