Arizona Tribune - Barnwell Industries Receives Cash Distribution from Its Interests in the Big Island of Hawaii Kaupulehu and Kukio Resort Partnerships, Highlighting the Company's Embedded Value Beyond Its Core Energy Operations

Barnwell holds minority partnership interests in the Kukio Resort development, a high-end residential community located on the Kona coast of Hawaii. These investments provide the Company with participation in the value created through the development and sale of luxury residential real estate within the Kukio project.

"This distribution underscores the continued value embedded in the investments in our Kukio real estate segment," said Philip Patman, Jr. Chief Financial Officer of Barnwell Industries. "While these cash flows can be episodic in nature, they represent an additional source of value alongside our core energy operations."

The Company continues to monitor and evaluate opportunities to maximize the value of its diverse asset base, including its real estate interests and Canadian energy assets.

As outlined in the Company's Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2026, Barnwell has commenced a process to solicit and evaluate indications of interest from potential counterparties, with the intention being to confirm and potentially realize fair value for those assets in light of current market conditions.

The Company remains committed to disciplined capital allocation and maximizing shareholder value, and will provide updates as appropriate.
