Frequently Asked Questions
What caused the significant net loss in the current quarter?
The significant net loss of $249 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily driven by unrealized losses on derivative instruments totaling $977 million. While the company's underlying operations showed improved revenue and production, these derivative accounting impacts masked the operational performance.
How has the Southwestern Energy merger impacted the company's financial performance?
The merger with Southwestern Energy, completed on October 1, 2024, has significantly increased Expand Energy's scale. Revenues more than doubled compared to the prior year, driven by the addition of Southwestern's assets and higher commodity prices. Operating expenses, including production and gathering, processing, and transportation, also increased due to the larger operational footprint.

Expand Energy maintains strong liquidity with $2.8 billion available, including substantial credit facility capacity. The company repaid its 2025 and 2026 senior notes in early 2025, demonstrating a commitment to managing its debt obligations.
