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.

million and an increase of $77 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, relating to the change in

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

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

As indicated in the table below, second quarter 2023 weighted
average realized price was $1.84 per Mcfe, excluding the impact of

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.
