and our oil and gas sales in the quarter increased 8% to $364,000,000 in the fourth quarter this year despite the lower production number. EBITDAX for the quarter was $277,000,000. We generated $222,000,000 of cash flow in the fourth quarter. We reported a $281,000,000 profit for the quarter or $0.97 per share. Included in that number were some unusual items, including the pretax gain on the asset sales of $294,000,000, a $37,000,000 mark-to-market unrealized gain on our hedge positions, and a $29,000,000 impairment on our nonoperated Eagle Ford Shale acreage. Excluding these items and exploration expense and the related income tax related to these items, we reported adjusted net income of $46,000,000 for the quarter or $0.16 per diluted share, the same as the adjusted net income in last year's fourth quarter. Slide six is the financial results for the full year 2025. For the full year in 2025, our production averaged 1.2 Bcfe per day, which is 14% lower than production in 2024. The improved natural gas prices we had in 2025 increased our oil and gas sales by 15% to $1,400,000,000 compared to 2024. EBITDAX for 2025 totaled $1,100,000,000 and we generated $861,000,000 of cash flow last year. For the year, we reported a $396,000,000 profit or $1.43 per share. That also includes the unusual items, including a pretax gain of $292,000,000 on the 2025 property sales, a $62,000,000 mark-to-market unrealized gain on the hedges, and that $29,000,000 impairment. Excluding these items and exploration expense, related income taxes, we reported adjusted net income of $160,000,000 for 2025 or $0.54 per diluted share compared to a net loss 2024. On Slide seven, we break down our natural gas price realizations. The quarterly NYMEX settlement price in the quarter averaged $3.55 in the fourth quarter. The average Henry Hub spot price in the quarter averaged $3.69, approximately 4% above the NYMEX settlement price. Twenty-seven percent of our gas was sold in the spot market in the quarter, so the appropriate NYMEX reference price for our production would have been $3.58. Our realized gas price during the fourth quarter averaged $3.29, reflected a $0.26 basis differential compared to the NYMEX settlement price and a $0.29 differential compared to that reference price for the quarter. Also in the fourth quarter, we were 57% hedged, which decreased our realized price to $3.27. Slide eight, we detailed our operating cost per Mcfe and our EBITDAX margin. Our operating cost per Mcfe averaged $0.77 in the fourth quarter, pretty much unchanged from the rate we had in the third quarter. Our EBITDAX margin was 77% in the fourth quarter, up 3% from the third quarter. In the quarter, our lifting cost improved by $0.01 in the quarter, and our production and ad valorem taxes also decreased by $0.03 in the quarter. That was offset by increases in both our gathering cost and cash G&A cost, which both increased by $0.02 in the quarter.
