Summary
Expand Energy Corp (EXE) reported a significant shift in its financial position during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The company experienced a substantial net loss of $5.306 billion, largely driven by a significant impairment charge of $9.721 billion related to natural gas and oil properties. This impairment was primarily a result of declining natural gas prices earlier in the year. Despite the net loss, the company's operational focus remained on natural gas and oil exploration and production. Cash flow from operations was $3.131 billion for the nine-month period, though this was a decrease from the prior year, attributed to lower commodity prices. The company also managed its debt levels, with long-term debt, net of discount, at $12.073 billion as of September 30, 2009. Significant hedging activities were in place to mitigate commodity price risk, with substantial natural gas and oil derivative assets noted.
