Summary
EOG Resources, Inc. (EOG) reported its third-quarter and year-to-date results for the period ending September 29, 2019. For the third quarter, the company saw a decrease in operating revenues to $4.3 billion from $4.8 billion in the prior year, largely due to lower commodity prices for crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and natural gas. Despite lower revenues, EOG demonstrated strong operational execution with increased production volumes across its key commodities, particularly in the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford plays. Net income for the quarter was $615 million, down from $1.2 billion in Q3 2018, reflecting the challenging price environment. For the nine-month period, operating revenues increased slightly to $13.1 billion from $12.7 billion in the prior year. This growth was driven by a significant increase in crude oil and NGL production volumes, which offset lower commodity prices. Net income for the nine months was $2.1 billion, compared to $2.5 billion in the same period last year. EOG maintained a strong balance sheet with a debt-to-total capitalization ratio of 20% as of September 30, 2019, and continued to focus on capital discipline and efficient operations.
