Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On March 19, 2026, PEDEVCO Corp. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing certain preliminary financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

These preliminary financial results are based on the Company’s current estimate of its results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, have not been reviewed or audited by the Company’s independent registered accounting firm who does not express an opinion or provide any other form of assurance with respect to these preliminary financial results, which remain subject to the Company’s financial statement closing procedures. The press release does not present all necessary information for an understanding of the Company’s financial condition as of the date of the release, or its results of operations for the quarter or year ended December 31, 2025. As the Company completes its quarter-end/year-end financial close process and finalizes its financial statements for the quarter/year, it will be required to make significant judgments in a number of areas. It is possible that the Company may identify items that require it to make adjustments to the preliminary financial information in the press release and those changes could be material. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on this preliminary data. The Company does not intend to update such financial information prior to the release of its final quarter-end/year-end financial statement information for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

The information furnished in this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1, will not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and will not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Forward-Looking Statements

The press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions under the federal securities laws, including The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and, as such, may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These forward-looking statements relate to the Company’s current expectations and are subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the press release as well as in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, the Company’s preliminary results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, and whether actual financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025, will differ materially from the preliminary results, and that actual events and/or results may differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements. These statements also involve known and unknown risks, which may cause the results of the Company and its subsidiaries to be materially different than those expressed or implied in such statements, as described in greater detail in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include comments as to the Company’s beliefs and expectations as to future financial performance, events and trends affecting its business and are necessarily subject to uncertainties, many of which are outside the Company’s control. More information on potential factors that could affect the Company’s financial results is included from time to time in the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the Company’s periodic and current filings with the SEC, including the Form 10-Qs and Form 10-Ks, filed with the SEC and available at www.sec.gov and the Company’s website at https://www.PEDEVCO.com/ped/sec_filings, and specifically including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise that occur after that date, except as otherwise provided by law.
