Mexco Energy Corporation Reports Financial Results for First Six Months

MIDLAND, TX, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mexco Energy Corporation (NYSE American: MXC) today reported net income of $945,152, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the six months ended September 30, 2026. This compares to net income of $565,457, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the six months ended September 30, 2025, a 67% increase.

Operating revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2027 were $4,102,157, an increase of 21% from $3,386,580 for the first six months of fiscal 2026.

The Company currently expects to participate in the drilling of 55 horizontal wells and the completion of 20 horizontal wells at an estimated aggregate cost of approximately $1.8 million during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, of which approximately $900,000 has been expended to date. The Company continues to evaluate additional drilling prospects for participation during the remainder of the fiscal year.

The president of the Company, Tammy McComic, said, "During the first six months of fiscal year 2027, we invested approximately $3.2 million in our ongoing investment strategy of acquiring oil and gas royalty interests."
