Post Period End Highlights:
· Spud the first horizontal well, AB HZ4, in the Alberta Llanos field in the Tapir block.
· CN HZ 10 and CN 11 brought on production.
· Entered into a $20 million prepayment agreement with an integrated energy company.
Upcoming Drilling
The rig has spud the AB HZ 4 well, the first horizontal well in the Alberta Llanos field, which is expected to be on production in June. Thereafter, the Company expects to drill another horizontal well on the Alberta Llanos pad.
Arrow has also secured a second rig that will mobilize to the Rio Cravo Este (RCE) field to drill up to four development wells in RCE and will then mobilize to the Carrizales Norte pad for further development drilling. The first RCE well is expected to spud in early June.
Total budgeted capital expenditures planned for 2025 is approximately $50 million, net to Arrow, of which $11.4 million was spent in Q1 2025. The capital program is expected to result in production for 2025 being significantly higher than current levels.
Prepayment Agreement
The Company has entered into a two-year crude prepayment agreement with an integrated energy major to market its oil production in Colombia. In exchange for the exclusive right to market the Company's oil production, the agreement provides access of up to US$20 million in prepaid crude sales in year one with the limit reducing to US$15 million in prepaid sales in year two at attractive interest rates.
As at May 1, the Company's cash balances were $24 million.
Marshall Abbott, CEO of Arrow Exploration Corp., commented:
"The first quarter of 2025 has been exciting for Arrow. The two wells, AB 2 and AB 3 at Alberta Llanos, have highlighted the potential for horizontal development in the Ubaque as well as follow up zones in the C7 and Guadalupe."
"During the dry summer months in the Llanos basin, the Company has developed a new road system from the Carrizales Norte pad to the Capullo pad, the Mateguafa Oeste pad and the Mateguafa Attic pad. These pads will be utilized in the Company's planned drilling program for the remainder of 2025. The Company has secured a second rig which is expected to spud the first of four wells at RCE in early June."
"The Company completed a 90 km2 3D seismic program in the southeast section of the Tapir block. The seismic has been processed and is now being analyzed to help develop prospects for the 2026 drilling program."
"In the first quarter of 2025, the Company put in place additional water disposal infrastructure in the form of the conversion of AB 2 into a water disposal well and the workover of RCE 1 and CN 4. We are also working towards the conversion of CN 5 into a water disposal well. AB 2 should be in operation in late Q2 and CN 5 in Q3. The wells at Carrizales Norte and Alberta Llanos have begun to produce more water than previously modeled, resulting in curtailment of production. The new water infrastructure is expected to create excess disposal capacity to allow for increases in pump speed on currently curtailed production and for the next development stage of 2025 budgeted projects."
"Arrow is pleased to announce that it has entered into a prepayment financing agreement with an integrated energy major. The two-year agreement provides Arrow with access to up to US$20 million in prepaid crude sales, with the limit reducing to US$15 million after the first year. This facility provides Arrow with significant financial flexibility, allowing Arrow to pursue growth opportunities from acquisitions to expanded capital programs. In conjunction with the financing, the integrated energy major, through its Colombian subsidiaries, will become the exclusive marketer for all of Arrow's oil production."
"Both Brent and AECO prices have been impacted by the volatility experienced in early 2025 but the Company still has very healthy netbacks from its Colombian oil production. Arrow's 2025 capital budget is expected to be paid for by available cash and cash flow from operations. Our focus for the remainder of 2025 will be to grow production, continue development at the Carrizales Norte, Rio Cravo Este and Alberta Llanos fields and explore low risk new prospects in the Tapir block."

Discussion of Operating Results
During Q1 2025, the Company's production has decreased due to natural declines and increasing water cuts across its fields in the Tapir block. Production growth is expected to resume once the Company develops additional water handling capacity and executes on the 2025 budget. Nevertheless, the Company has maintained good operating results and healthy EBITDA.
Average Production by Property
| Average Production Boe/d | Q1 2025 | FY 2024 | Q4 2024 | Q3 2024 | Q2 2024 | Q1 2024 |

| TOTAL (Boe/d) | 4,085 | 3,542 | 4,738 | 4,124 | 2,546 | 2,730 |
The Company's average production for the three months March 31, 2025 was 4,085 boe/d which consisted of crude oil production in Colombia of 3,770 bbl/d, natural gas production of 1,851 Mcf/d, and minor amounts of natural gas liquids. The Company's Q1 2025 production was 50% higher than its Q1 2024 production and 14% lower than Q4 2024 due to natural declines and water handling capability.
Discussion of Financial Results
During Q1 2025 the Company experienced a reduction in both crude oil and gas prices, as summarized below:
| Three months ended March 31 | |||
| 2025 | 2024 | Change | |
| Benchmark Prices | |||
| AECO (C$/Mcf) | $2.19 | $2.55 | (14%) |

| Natural Gas ($/Mcf) | ||
| Revenue, net of transportation expense | $1.51 | $1.87 |

| Operating expenses | ($14.63) | ($8.40) |
| Corporate operating netback (1) | $38.66 | $50.10 |
(1) Non-IFRS measure
The operating netbacks of the Company have been affected in 2025 due to increasing water production from its Colombian assets and decreased crude oil prices.
During Q1 2025, the Company incurred $11 million of capital expenditure, primarily in connection with the drilling of additional Alberta Llanos wells in the Tapir block. This tempo is expected to continue during the remainder of 2025, funded by cash on hand and cashflow.
The Company also confirms that its audited financial statements and MD&A for the year ended 31 December 2024 were posted to UK shareholders on May 29, 2025 and are also available on its website.

About Arrow Exploration Corp.
Arrow Exploration Corp. (operating in Colombia via a branch of its 100% owned subsidiary Carrao Energy S.A.) is a publicly traded company with a portfolio of premier Colombian oil assets that are underexploited, under-explored and offer high potential growth. The Company ' s business plan is to expand oil production from some of Colombia ' s most active basins, including the Llanos, Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV) and Putumayo Basin. The asset base is predominantly operated with high working interests, and the Brent-linked light oil pricing exposure combines with low royalties to yield attractive potential operating margins. Arrow ' s 50% interest in the Tapir Block is contingent on the assignment by Ecopetrol SA of such interest to Arrow. Arrow ' s seasoned team is led by a hands-on executive team supported by an experienced board. Arrow is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange and on TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "AXL".

Non‐IFRS Measures
The Company uses non-IFRS measures to evaluate its performance which are measures not defined in IFRS. Working capital, funds flow from operations, realized prices, operating netback, adjusted EBITDA, and net debt as presented do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. The Company considers these measures as key measures to demonstrate its ability to generate the cash flow necessary to fund future growth through capital investment, and to repay its debt, as the case may be. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than net income (loss) or cash provided by operating activities or net loss and comprehensive loss as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance. The Company's determination of these measures may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.

12. Risk Management
The Company holds various forms of financial instruments. The nature of these instruments and the Company's operations expose the Company to commodity price, credit and foreign exchange risks. The Company manages its exposure to these risks by operating in a manner that minimizes its exposure to the extent practical.
(a) Commodity price risk
The Company's principal operation is the production and sale of crude oil and natural gas. Fluctuations in prices of these commodities directly impact the Company's financial performance. Commodity price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in commodity prices. Lower commodity prices can also impact the Company's ability to raise capital. Commodity prices for crude oil are impacted by world economic events that dictate the levels of supply and demand. There were no derivative contracts during 2025.
(b) Credit Risk
Credit risk reflects the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a contract fails to fulfill their contractual obligations. It arises mostly from the Company's cash balances and accounts receivable. The Company's cash balances are held with six counterparties, large reputable financial institutions, and management has therefore concluded that credit associated is low. The majority of the Company's account receivable balances relate to petroleum and natural gas sales. The Company's policy is to enter into agreements with customers that are well established entities in the oil and gas industry such that the level of risk is mitigated. In Colombia, a significant portion of the sales is with producing companies and commodities trader under existing sale/offtake agreements with prepayment provisions and priced using the Brent benchmark. The Company's trade account receivables primarily relate to sales of crude oil and natural gas, which are normally collected within 25 days (in Canada) and up to 15 days (in Colombia) after the month of production.
Other accounts receivable mainly relate to balances owed by the Company's partner in one of its blocks, and are mainly recoverable through joint billings. The Company has historically not experienced any significant collection issues with its customers and partners.
(c) Market Risk
Market risk is comprised of two components: foreign currency exchange risk and interest rate risk.
i) Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
The Company operates on an international basis and therefore foreign exchange risk exposures arise from transactions denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. The Company is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations as it holds cash and incurs expenditures in exploration and evaluation and administrative costs in foreign currencies.
The Company incurs expenditures in Canadian dollars, United States dollars, British Pounds and the Colombian peso and is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates in these currencies. There are no exchange rate contracts in place.
ii) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates. The Company is not currently exposed to interest rate risk.
(d) Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk includes the risk that, as a result of the Company's operational liquidity requirements:
· The Company will not have sufficient funds to settle a transaction on the due date;
· The Company will be forced to sell financial assets at a value which is less than what they are worth; or
· The Company may be unable to settle or recover a financial asset.
The Company's approach to managing its liquidity risk is to ensure, within reasonable means, sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and unusual conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or jeopardizing the Company's business objectives. The Company prepares annual capital expenditure budgets which are monitored regularly and updated as considered necessary. Petroleum and natural gas production is monitored daily to provide current cash flow estimates and the Company utilizes authorizations for expenditures on projects to manage capital expenditures. Any funding shortfall may be met in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, the issuance of new debt or equity instruments, further expenditure reductions and/or the introduction of joint venture partners.
(e) Capital Management
The Company's objective is to maintain a capital base sufficient to provide flexibility in the future development of the business and maintain investor, creditor and market confidence. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company considers its capital structure to include share capital, bank debt (when available), promissory notes and working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities. From time to time the Company may issue common shares or other securities, sell assets or adjust its capital spending to manage current and projected debt levels. The Company adjusts its capital structure based on its net debt level. Net debt is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as the principal amount of its outstanding debt, less working capital items. The Company prepares annual budgets, which are updated as necessary including current and forecast crude oil prices, changes in capital structure, execution of the Company's business plan and general industry conditions. The annual budget is approved by the Board of Directors. The Company's capital includes the following:
| March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
| Working capital | $11,036,334 | $ 11,646,169 |

Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
Non‐IFRS Measures
The Company uses non-IFRS measures to evaluate its performance which are measures not defined in IFRS. Working capital, funds flow from operations, realized prices, operating netback, adjusted EBITDA, and net debt as presented do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other entities. The Company considers these measures as key measures to demonstrate its ability to generate the cash flow necessary to fund future growth through capital investment, and to repay its debt, as the case may be. These measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than net income or cash provided by (used in) operating activities or net income and comprehensive income as determined in accordance with IFRS as an indicator of the Company's performance. The Company's determination of these measures may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.
Adjusted working capital is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities, excluding non-cash liabilities; funds from operations is calculated as cash flows provided by operating activities adjusted to exclude changes in non-cash working capital balances; realized price is calculated by dividing gross revenue by gross production, by product, in the applicable period; operating netback is calculated as total natural gas and crude revenues minus royalties, transportation costs and operating expenditures; adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other similar non-recurring or non-cash charges; and net debt (net cash) is defined as the principal amount of its outstanding debt, less working capital items excluding non-cash liabilities.
The Company also presents funds from operations per share, whereby per share amounts are calculated using weighted- average shares outstanding consistent with the calculation of net income per share.
A reconciliation of the non-IFRS measures is included as follows:
| (in United States dollars) | Three months ended March 31, 2025 | Three months ended March 31, 2024 |

The term barrel of oil equivalent ("boe") is used in this MD&A. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of 6 thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas to one barrel of oil ("bbl") is used in the MD&A. This conversion ratio of 6:1 is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead.

The Company
Arrow is a junior oil and gas company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties in Colombia and Western Canada. The Company's shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange and the London AIM exchange under the symbol AXL.
The Company and Arrow Exploration Ltd. entered into an arrangement agreement dated June 1, 2018, as amended, whereby the parties completed a business combination pursuant to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) ("ABCA") on September 28, 2018. Arrow Exploration Ltd. and Front Range's then wholly-owned subsidiary, 2118295 Alberta Ltd., were amalgamated to form Arrow Holdings Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Arrangement"). On May 31, 2018, Arrow Exploration Ltd. entered in a share purchase agreement, as amended, with Canacol Energy Ltd. ("Canacol"), to acquire Canacol's Colombian oil properties held by its wholly-owned subsidiary Carrao Energy S.A. ("Carrao"). On September 27, 2018, Arrow Exploration Ltd. closed the agreement with Canacol, and during 2024 Carrao changed its name to Arrow Exploration Switzerland GmbH.
On May 31, 2018, Arrow Exploration Ltd., entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire a 50% beneficial interest in a contract entered into with Ecopetrol S.A. pertaining to the exploration and production of hydrocarbons in the Tapir block from Samaria Exploration & Production S.A. ("Samaria"). On September 27, 2018, Arrow Exploration Ltd. closed the agreement with Samaria. As at March 31, 2025 the Company held an interest in four oil blocks in Colombia and oil and natural gas leases in five areas in Canada as follows:
| Gross Acres | Working Interest | Net Acres | ||
| COLOMBIA | ||||
| Tapir | Operated 1 | 65,125 | 50% | 32,563 |
| Oso Pardo | Operated | 672 | 100% | 672 |
| Ombu | Non-operated | 56,482 | 10% | 5,648 |
| COR-39 | Operated | 95,111 | 100% | 95,111 |
| Total Colombia | 217,390 | 133,994 | ||
| CANADA | ||||

| Total Canada | 39,363 | 32,602 | ||
| TOTAL | 256,753 | 166,596 |
The Company's primary producing assets are located in Colombia in the Tapir, Oso Pardo and Ombu blocks, with natural gas production in Canada at Fir and Pepper, Alberta.
Llanos Basin
Within the Llanos Basin, the Company is engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil within the Tapir block. In the Llanos Basin most oil accumulations are associated with three-way dip closure against NNE-SSW trending normal faults and can have pay within multiple reservoirs. The Tapir block contain large areas not yet covered by 3D seismic, and in Management's opinion offer substantial exploration upside.
1 The Company's interest in the Tapir block is held through a private contract with Petrolco, who holds a 50% participating interest in, and is the named operator of, the Tapir contract with Ecopetrol. The formal assignment to the Company is subject to Ecopetrol's consent. The Company is the de facto operator pursuant to certain agreements with Petrolco (details of which are set out in Paragraph 16.13 of the Company's AIM Admission Document dated October 20, 2021).
Middle Magdalena Valley ("MMV") Basin
Oso Pardo Field
The Oso Pardo Field is located in the Santa Isabel Block in the MMV Basin. It is a 100% owned property operated by the Company. The Oso Pardo field is located within a Production Licence covering 672 acres. Three wells have been drilled to date within the licensed area.
Ombu E&P Contract - Capella Conventional Heavy Oil Discovery
The Caguan Basin covers an area of approximately 60,000 km2 and lies between the Putumayo and Llanos Basins. The primary reservoir target is the Upper Eocene aged Mirador formation. The Capella structure is a large, elongated northeast-southwest fault-related anticline, with approximately 17,500 acres in closure at the Mirador level. The field is located approximately 250 km away from the nearest offloading station at Neiva, where production from Capella is trucked.
The Capella No. 1 discovery well was drilled in July 2008 and was followed by a series of development wells. The Company earned a 10% working interest in the Ombu E&P Contract by paying 100% of all activities associated with the drilling, completion, and testing of the Capella No. 1 well. The Capella field is currently suspended and temporarily shut in.
Fir, Alberta
The Company has an average non-operated 32% WI in 12 gross (3.84 net) sections of oil and natural gas rights and 17 gross (4.5 net) producing natural gas wells at Fir. The wells produce raw natural gas into the Cecilia natural gas plant where it is processed.
Pepper, Alberta
The Company holds a 100% operated WI in 37 sections of Montney P&NG rights on its Pepper asset in West Central Alberta. The 6-26-53-23W5M Montney gas well (West Pepper) is tied into the Galloway gas plant for processing. The 3-21-52-22W5M Montney gas well (East Pepper) is currently tied into the Sundance gas plant for processing. The majority of lands have tenure extending into 2025.
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights
· Arrow recorded $19,506,125 in revenues, net of royalties, on crude oil sales of 337,697 bbls, 554 bbls of natural gas liquids ("NGL's") and 166,590 Mcf of natural gas sales;
· Funds flow from operations of $9,745,553;
· Net income of $2,663,764 and adjusted EBITDA was $11,531,548;
Results of Operations
During Q1 2025, the Company's production has decreased due to natural declines and increasing water cuts across its fields in the Tapir block. Production growth is expected once the Company develops water handling capability and executes on the 2025 budget. Nevertheless, the Company has maintained good operating results and healthy EBITDA.

(1)Non-IFRS measure
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Arrow incurred operating expenses of $5,356,599 (2024: $2,069,011). This increase in operating costs is mainly due to increased production in the Company's Carrizales Norte and Alberta Llanos fields, including trucking water production to disposal wells at Company owned disposal wells or third-party disposal facilities. The Company is developing water pipelines additional disposal wells and fields to bring down costs associated with water disposal.
