Southwestern Energy Announces Second Quarter 2023 Results

Reduces full-year capital investment guidance ~10%

Southwestern Energy Company (NYSE: SWN) today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

  • Generated $231 million net income, $95 million adjusted net income (non-GAAP), $484 million adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) and $425 million net cash provided by operating activities
  • Reported total net production of 423 Bcfe, or 4.6 Bcfe per day, including 4.0 Bcf per day of gas and 106 MBbls per day of liquids
  • Invested $595 million of capital and placed 50 wells to sales, including 28 in Appalachia and 22 in Haynesville
  • Reduced full-year capital investment guidance $200 million, or approximately 10%, due to activity reductions, moderating inflation, and operational efficiencies
  • Closed divestiture of non-core Pennsylvania Utica assets, applying $123 million of net proceeds to debt reduction

“Southwestern Energy continues to improve the resilience and free cash flow generation capacity of our business. With our successes mitigating inflationary pressures and driving operational efficiencies, we expect to deliver our 2023 plan with less activity and corresponding investment. Debt reduction remains our top capital allocation priority, which we accelerated with a non-core asset sale. Our disciplined strategy to manage through the commodity price cycle maintains the Company’s financial strength and productive capacity. We are well positioned to increase shareholder value in the supportive longer-term natural gas environment,” said Bill Way, Southwestern Energy President and Chief Executive Officer.

Capital investments include a decrease of $22 million and an increase of $34 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and a decrease of $28 million and an increase of $77 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, relating to the change in capital accruals between periods.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, Southwestern Energy recorded net income of $231 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, including a gain on mark-to-market of unsettled derivatives. Excluding this and other one-time items, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $95 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $484 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $425 million, net cash flow (non-GAAP) was $453 million and total capital investments were $595 million.

As of June 30, 2023, Southwestern Energy had total debt of $4.05 billion and net debt to adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of 1.4x. At the end of the quarter, the Company had $310 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility and $25 million in outstanding letters of credit.

As indicated in the table below, second quarter 2023 weighted average realized price was $1.84 per Mcfe, excluding the impact of derivatives and net of $0.25 per Mcfe of transportation expenses. Including derivatives, weighted average realized price for the second quarter was down 23% from $3.04 per Mcfe in 2022 to $2.33 per Mcfe in 2023 primarily due to lower commodity prices including a 71% decrease in NYMEX Henry Hub and a 32% decrease in WTI.

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, management believes certain non-GAAP performance measures may provide financial statement users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results, the results of the Company’s peers and of prior periods.

One such non-GAAP financial measure is net cash flow. Management presents this measure because (i) it is accepted as an indicator of an oil and gas exploration and production company’s ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt, (ii) changes in operating assets and liabilities relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements which the Company may not control and (iii) changes in operating assets and liabilities may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred.

Additional non-GAAP financial measures the Company may present from time to time are free cash flow (deficit), net debt, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA and net debt to adjusted EBITDA, all of which exclude certain charges or amounts. Management presents these measures because (i) they are consistent with the manner in which the Company’s position and performance are measured relative to the position and performance of its peers, (ii) these measures are more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts, and (iii) charges or amounts excluded cannot be reasonably estimated and guidance provided by the Company excludes information regarding these types of items. These adjusted amounts are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP.
