Filed July 29, 2024For Securities:EXEEXEELEXEEWEXEEZ

Summary

EXPAND ENERGY Corp (EXE) reported a net loss of $227 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a significant shift from the $391 million net income in the prior year period. This decline is largely attributable to lower natural gas and oil revenues, impacted by reduced commodity prices and lower sales volumes following strategic divestitures. Despite the quarterly loss, the company generated $761 million in cash flow from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, demonstrating operational cash generation capabilities, albeit lower than the prior year's $1.4 billion. The company is progressing with its planned all-stock merger with Southwestern Energy, which is targeted to close in the second half of 2024, pending regulatory approvals. This strategic move aims to combine operations in key shale plays. EXE also maintains a strong liquidity position with $1.0 billion in cash and $2.5 billion in unused borrowing capacity under its Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024.
