Obsidian Energy Ltd. (NYSE: OBE) reported Q1 EPS of ($0.11), $0.07 worse than the analyst estimate of ($0.04).

Michael Faust, Interim President and CEO commented "Stepping into my role at Obsidian Energy, I am focusing my attention on three main areas. First, I will ensure we continue to deliver strong and repeatable well results from our Cardium asset, focused on growing our light oil production, consistent with the recent performance of the first 19 well program. Second, I will prioritize the strength of our balance sheet by ensuring we are spending within funds flow from operations and seek to divest non-core properties, if the market conditions are favorable, to reduce our overall leverage profile. My third priority will be to conduct a thorough review of our cost structure to identify areas for improvement, aiming to bring our costs in line with peers. This initiative will be focused on both capital expenditures and expenses. This will include streamlining internal processes, improving operational productivity, and enhancing capital efficiencies. Details of the cost reduction initiatives will be presented at the Annual General Meeting."
