Summary
EQT Corporation reported a net loss of $300.8 million ($0.54 per diluted share) for the third quarter of 2024, a significant downturn from a net income of $81.3 million ($0.20 per diluted share) in the same period last year. This performance was impacted by increased operating expenses, including higher depreciation, depletion, and amortization, as well as increased transaction costs associated with the Equitrans Midstream Merger. Despite a rise in overall operating revenues due to the inclusion of acquired midstream assets, higher expenses led to an operating loss of $281.8 million for the quarter. For the first nine months of 2024, EQT reported a net loss of $187.8 million ($0.39 per diluted share), a sharp contrast to the $1.23 billion net income ($3.08 per diluted share) in the prior year. This was driven by a substantial decrease in derivative gains and lower sales of natural gas, NGLs, and oil, coupled with increased operating expenses and net interest expenses. The company did benefit from a gain on the NEPA Non-Operated Asset Divestiture and increased pipeline revenues, but these were not enough to offset the overall negative trends. EQT's balance sheet shows total assets of $39.9 billion and total liabilities of $19.5 billion as of September 30, 2024, with a significant increase in property, plant, and equipment and the addition of the MVP Joint Venture investment due to the Equitrans Midstream Merger.
