New York, NY, May 7, 2026 - Acacia Research Corporation (Nasdaq: ACTG) (“Acacia” or the “Company”), which acquires and operates businesses across the industrial, energy and technology sectors, today reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company also posted its first quarter 2026 earnings presentation on its website at www.acaciaresearch.com under Quarterly Results.
Martin (“MJ”) D. McNulty, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Acacia delivered strong financial and operating results for the first quarter, generating total revenue of $54.2 million, Operated Segment Adjusted EBITDA of $6.8 million and Total Company Adjusted EBITDA of $1.6 million. Operationally, our companies continued to execute on our strategic objectives, including targeted pricing strategies, cost savings initiatives and continued tariff countermeasures. We are pleased to announce that our Energy Operations subsidiary, Benchmark Energy, delivered its strongest revenue quarter under Acacia ownership driven by favorable oil prices and continued investments in new well development. Given the constructive commodity price environment and the early success with Benchmark’s recently completed Cherokee well, drilling in both our Cherokee and Cleveland acreage has become more attractive and we are in advanced stages of evaluating additional projects. Our Deflecto subsidiary completed its facility consolidation, which we expect to drive meaningful cost synergies on an annualized basis.
As we look ahead to the remainder of 2026, our strategic focus is centered on leveraging our significant capital base and experienced management team to drive long-term growth across our operating businesses. As of the end of the first quarter, cash, cash equivalents, equity securities and loans receivable was approximately $329.9 million, or $3.41 per share. Our acquisition pipeline remains very active, and our strong cash position and balance sheet provide us with the flexibility to execute on accretive organic and inorganic growth opportunities, driving differentiated value for our shareholders.”
