Magnolia Oil & Gas Corporation (NYSE:MGY) announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share of Class A common stock, and a cash distribution of $0.15 per Class B unit, payable on March 3, 2025, to shareholders of record as of February 14, 2025. Today's announcement represents a 15 percent increase to Magnolia's quarterly dividend rate and provides an annualized dividend of $0.60 per share. This is the fourth consecutive year that Magnolia has increased its dividend rate since initiating a dividend payment in 2021. Magnolia expects to declare its next quarterly dividend in May for payment in June.

"The increase in the dividend is supported by Magnolia's achievements during 2024 which included total production growth of 9 percent, a 5 percent reduction in the total shares outstanding, and strong progress on lowering our field-level cash operating costs," said Chris Stavros, Magnolia's President and CEO. "Magnolia continues to execute its business plan of maintaining low leverage with disciplined capital spending, while generating modest annual production growth, sustaining high pre-tax margins and delivering steady and consistent free cash flow. These guiding principles together with last year's accomplishments have further improved Magnolia's dividend per share payout capacity, leading to the 15 percent dividend increase we announced today. Magnolia's dividend is secure at significantly lower product prices which appeals to long-term investors who value dividend safety through commodity cycles. Delivering a sustainable, safe, and growing dividend is a key component of Magnolia's total shareholder return strategy."
