How did capital expenditures this quarter compare to the Company’s budget and to prior quarters?

Answer

The news release you referenced (Petrus Resources Ltd. – “Second Quarter 2025 Financial & Operating Results”) does not contain any specific figures or commentary about capital expenditures (CapEx) for the quarter ended June 30 2025, nor does it provide a comparison of those expenditures to the Company’s budget or to prior quarters.

What this means for your question

  • No CapEx figures are disclosed in the excerpt you provided.
  • No comparison to the budget (e.g., “in‑line with, above, or below the budget”) is mentioned.
  • No historical comparison (e.g., “up/down from the prior quarter or year‑over‑year”) is presented.

What to do next

To obtain the precise information you’re looking for, you’ll need to:

  1. Locate the full press release (typically available on the company’s investor‑relations website or via the GlobeNewswire link). The full document usually contains a “Capital Expenditures” line item in the financial tables and a narrative discussion in the “Operations” or “Financial Review” sections.
  2. Check the “Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A)” section of the release. Companies often comment on whether CapEx was on‑track with the budget, any overruns, and reasons for variance.
  3. Compare the disclosed CapEx with the figures from the previous quarter’s release (Q1 2025) or with the budgeted amount for Q2 2025, which should be listed in the same release or in the Company’s quarterly financial statements.

If you retrieve the full release and can share the specific CapEx figures (e.g., “C$ X million for Q2 2025, versus a budget of C$ Y million and C$ Z million in Q1 2025”), I can help interpret those numbers and provide a detailed analysis of how the current quarter’s spending compares to the budget and prior periods.
