In its third quarter earnings report for 2024, Expand Energy Corporation highlighted its financial results post-merger with Southwestern Energy, unveiling a substantial net cash flow from operating activities while also providing insights into its preliminary 2025 capital and operating plan. Notable steps have been taken to enhance shareholder returns through a new capital return framework.

The company reported a net cash provided by operating activities of $422 million and an adjusted net income of $22 million despite a net loss of $114 million. Expand Energy also achieved an adjusted EBITDAX of $365 million and increased its annual synergy target by $100 million, expecting $225 million in synergies for 2025 and $500 million by 2027. Furthermore, it upgraded its credit rating to Investment Grade and authorized a $1 billion share repurchase plan.

Operationally, the company is running 12 rigs and expects to reduce this number in 2025, with projected capital expenditures of $2.7 billion. Expand Energy aims for a production yield of approximately 7 bcf/day, predominantly natural gas. The enhanced capital return framework prioritizes dividends and debt reduction while allocating remaining free cash flow to share repurchases and additional dividends.

Looking forward, Expand Energy is poised to leverage its scale and financial strength to maintain its leadership in the natural gas sector, focusing on operational efficiency and market responsiveness to drive shareholder value and meet global energy demands sustainably.
