- Quarterly sales volumes of 4.8 MMboe
- Sales revenue of $400 million, down 5% on Q3 FY26

What else do investors need to know?
Beach Energy marked a record 18 months without a recordable injury, highlighting its operational safety focus. The company completed the successful sale of its operated interest in VIC/L35, providing an upfront cash injection of $70 million and a future gas production royalty.
Oil prices provided a boost this quarter, but overall sales volumes were down 11% from Q3 mainly due to the timing of Cooper Basin oil shipments. A review of Beach's capital management framework is underway, with an update expected at the full year results.
What did Beach Energy management say?
Brett Woods, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Beach Energy, commented:
Beach finished FY26 with strong operational momentum, delivering quarterly production of 4.9 MMboe while recording no recordable injuries and no Tier 1 or 2 process safety events in the quarter. Achieving a record 18 months recordable-injury free while safely executing major offshore activities, active drilling campaigns in the Cooper Basin and daily operations across all sites, is an exceptional outcome… Quarterly revenue of $400 million, supported by strong oil pricing and another LNG cargo, further strengthened Beach's available liquidity to $983 million and a reduction in net gearing to 10.6%, providing financial flexibility.
What's next for Beach Energy?
Looking ahead, Beach plans to prioritise higher-return growth opportunities, with a focus on the Western Flank oil campaign, further appraisal in the Perth Basin, and new exploration targets in Otway and the Taroom Trough. The company expects further improvements in Waitsia Gas Plant production in FY27 as technical issues are addressed.
Investors can expect more detail with the full year FY26 results and FY27 guidance, scheduled for release on 6 August 2026.
