Vermilion Energy ( (TSE:VET) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Vermilion Energy reported record 2025 production of nearly 120,000 boe/d, driven by strong growth in its North American and international gas-weighted portfolio. The company realized natural gas prices multiple times above AECO, underscoring the value of its diversified market access and premium international exposure, even as non-cash impairments and asset sales produced an accounting net loss.
The company generated over $1 billion in fund flows from operations and $375 million in free cash flow last year, fully funding capital spending while cutting net debt by more than $700 million and returning $116 million to shareholders. Vermilion also delivered a 36% increase in 2P reserves, strong reserve recycle ratios and expanded Deep Basin and Montney activity, reinforcing its balance-sheet strength and long reserve life despite legacy asset write-downs.
Fourth-quarter 2025 results showed production above guidance and solid cash generation, with Q4 fund flows of $241 million and free cash flow of $49 million supporting further deleveraging and payouts. Operational highlights included record output from the Montney Mica asset, high-performing Deep Basin wells and progress on European gas projects in the Netherlands and Germany that are expected to underpin future growth and cash flows.
The most recent analyst rating on (TSE:VET) stock is a Hold with a C$14.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vermilion Energy stock, see the TSE:VET Stock Forecast page.
