As Andrew Phillips, President and CEO, stated, "With 98% operating margins and unmatched duration, PrairieSky is positioned to provide strong returns to its owners in the coming years."

PrairieSky is poised for continued growth, driven by strong drilling activity on its lands. The company expects significant growth in the Duvernay, with volumes doubling in 2025. The Mannville Stack and Basal Quartz are also expected to see strong growth, with the Mannville Stack growing to just under 1,000 net royalty barrels and the Basal Quartz expected to see double-digit growth. Analysts estimate revenue growth of 9.9% for the next year, driven by these factors.
