Greenfire Resources Ltd. reported its third‑quarter 2025 results on November 4, 2025, showing revenue of CAD 126.79 million, a decline of 41.5% from CAD 214.87 million in Q3 2024, and a net loss of CAD 8.8 million versus a net income of CAD 58.9 million a year earlier. Production fell to 15,757 barrels per day, down 18.5% from 19,125 b/d in the same quarter last year, largely due to a failed steam generator and a planned turnaround at the Hangingstone expansion asset.
The company’s two operating segments – the Expansion Asset and the Demo Asset – contributed unevenly to the results. The Expansion Asset produced 12,300 b/d in Q3 2025, a 12% drop from 14,000 b/d in Q3 2024, while the Demo Asset maintained 3,457 b/d, a 5% decline. The lower output was driven by equipment outages and a scheduled maintenance shutdown, which also reduced operating margins from 9.2% to 7.8%. Cash flow from operations was CAD 4.2 million, a 60% drop from CAD 10.5 million in Q3 2024, reflecting higher operating costs and lower production.
Greenfire’s management highlighted a major refinancing initiative aimed at reducing debt and improving liquidity. The company secured a CAD 275 million revolving credit facility and announced a CAD 300 million equity rights offering, which together are expected to eliminate the company’s current debt load. President Colin Germaniuk said the recapitalization “will be a critical first step to embarking on our organic growth business plan to fill the plant capacity at the Hanging Stone facilities” and that the credit facility would remain undrawn once the plan is completed, positioning the company as debt‑free.
Guidance for the remainder of 2025 remains unchanged, with capital expenditures reaffirmed at CAD 130 million. For 2026, Greenfire approved a CAD 180 million capital budget and projected production of 15,500–16,500 b/d, noting that growth projects will not reach first oil until late Q4 2026 and that a major turnaround in May 2026 will temporarily halt production. Management emphasized that the flat production outlook reflects the timing of capital deployment rather than a decline in demand.
The market reaction was mixed. While the refinancing plan was welcomed for its debt‑reduction potential, the equity rights offering raised concerns about shareholder dilution. Investors weighed the benefits of a stronger balance sheet against the immediate dilution impact, leading to a cautious response. The company’s guidance signals confidence in maintaining production levels, but the headwinds of high leverage and operational outages remain a focus for analysts.
Overall, Greenfire’s Q3 2025 results illustrate a company in transition: declining revenue and production are offset by a strategic move to deleverage, positioning the firm for future growth once capital projects become operational. The company’s ability to manage cash flow and execute its turnaround plans will be critical to restoring profitability in the coming quarters.
