Management Commentary

Vivakor Chairman and Chief Executive Officer James Ballengee commented, "This past year we completed the second phase of our transformation of Vivakor, fortifying our evolution as a diversified infrastructure company, with midstream assets in logistics, gathering and storage, as well as sustainable assets in environmental services, remediation and processing solutions. We are pleased with our 2024 financial results, with the fourth quarter of 2024 representing our first consolidated quarter, putting us on the path for approximately $160 million projected annualized revenue."

Ballengee concluded, "Our midstream crude oil logistics, storage and gathering operations are a solid platform from which to build upon. Contracted revenue is at its highest level in company history and provides us a predictable financial model. Based on this contracted revenue and track record of strategic growth, Vivakor believes 2025 could shape up to be another record year. By maintaining a strong focus on financial responsibility and operational efficiency, we aim to maximize shareholder value, while advancing our growth mission to expand organically and through acquisitions in 2025 and thereafter."
