Peyto Exploration & Development Locks in Long-Term Gas Supply Deal with Centrica Energy

Peyto Exploration & Development (TSX:PEY) has confirmed its monthly dividend of $0.12 per common share for September 2026, to be paid on October 15th to shareholders recorded as of September 30th. The company's recent cash costs before royalties were $1.04 per Mcfe in Q2 2026.

The ten-year natural gas supply agreement with Centrica Energy, which begins in 2029 and targets premium European markets, is expected to support a more diversified revenue mix and consistent monthly payouts for Peyto Exploration & Development. The company's low-cost Deep Basin operations and active hedge book will also contribute to this goal.

The key risk remains concentrated Alberta gas reliance, where infrastructure constraints, regulatory changes, and local price discounts could quickly compress margins and test dividend flexibility. However, the Centrica agreement adds clearer visibility on potential future market diversification.
