BKV Corporation

What they do

BKV produces natural gas, NGLs and oil and owns natural gas midstream infrastructure, alongside generation of gas-fired power through the BKV-BPP Power Joint Venture. It organizes operations in four business lines: upstream, midstream, power generation and CCUS, run as a closed-loop model in which produced gas is gathered and processed through company systems. Since the first quarter of 2026 it reports two segments, Upstream/Midstream and Power, plus a Corporate and Other 'All Other' category that includes CCUS.

Revenue drivers

• Upstream/Midstream — Sales of produced natural gas, NGLs and oil; the largest revenue line, with $221.9 million in Q2 2026 and $509.6 million in the first half of 2026.
• Power — Electricity generation, wholesale energy sales and purchases, and retail marketing through the BKV-BPP Power Joint Venture; $74.4 million in Q2 2026 and $143.4 million in the first half.
• CCUS — Carbon capture and sequestration operations reported within Corporate and Other; Q2 2026 sequestration was approximately 35,900 metric tons of CO2 equivalent.

Recent performance

For Q2 2026, BKV reported net income attributable to BKV of $75.8 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, with Adjusted EBITDAX attributable to BKV of $142.0 million and net cash from operations of $109.7 million. Production averaged 978.3 MMcfe/d and the Temple plants generated 2,222 GWh at a 69.6% capacity factor. First half 2026 net income was $119.9 million on production of 951.8 MMcfe/d and $181.7 million of operating cash flow. Accrued capital expenditures were $72.4 million for the quarter and $191.0 million for the six months. Full-year 2025 revenue was $1.14 billion with net income of $179.2 million.

Strategy

Management describes a closed-loop model linking upstream, midstream, power and CCUS to control gas from production through transportation, processing and power generation, with an aim of net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions from owned upstream and midstream in the early 2030s. The company closed the purchase of an additional 25% interest in the BKV-BPP Power Joint Venture on January 30, 2026, bringing its ownership to 75%, and changed segment reporting as a result. It has been adding carbon capture projects, with Cotton Cove commencing commercial sequestration on April 2, 2026 and Eagle Ford on June 10, 2026. Capital is being directed to development, power growth and CCUS, including $125.5 million of turbine and long-lead-item deposits in Q2 2026. CEO Chris Kalnin said the quarter advanced each strategic priority, including commercial discussions toward a long-term power purchase agreement.

Risks

• Commodity price volatility — Natural gas, NGL and power prices are highly volatile and BKV's realized prices and results move with them, with average realized product prices of $2.49 per Mcfe in Q2 2026.
• ERCOT power market exposure — Power prices in ERCOT fluctuate with weather, time of day and generation mix, and the Power segment operates with a different profile from the rest of BKV.
• Acquisition and integration risk — BKV has pursued transactions including the BKV-BPP Power Joint Venture Transaction and the Bedrock Acquisition, and lists integration of acquired businesses and realization of expected benefits among its risk factors.
• Capital needs and leverage — BKV carries $1.06 billion of long-term debt against $152.2 million of cash as of June 30, 2026, with a reported net leverage ratio of 1.78x and ongoing development, power and CCUS capital commitments.

Outlook

The company issued updated guidance for the third quarter and full year 2026 alongside Q2 results, and management points to advancing commercial discussions toward a long-term power purchase agreement. It expects the Cotton Cove and Eagle Ford CCUS projects combined to sequester more than 120,000 metric tons of CO2 waste annually. It also flagged future liquidity, leverage, reserves and CCUS project timing as items subject to its forward-looking statements.
