Southwestern Energy Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results

Strategically positioned to capture sustainable value from increasing scale and responsible development

Southwestern Energy Company (NYSE: SWN) today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

  • Integration planning for scale-enhancing acquisition and Haynesville entry ahead of schedule; shareholder vote set for August 27th;
  • Implemented basin-wide project to certify and continuously monitor potential emissions from all Appalachia unconventional wells;
  • Further reduced leverage ratio by 0.4x to 2.6x; sustainable 2x leverage expected in late 2021;
  • Generated $270 million net cash provided by operating activities; invested $259 million consistent with our maintenance capital plan; expect free cash flow to ramp in second half 2021;
  • Captured promised $100 per foot well costs savings on first three Ohio Utica wells;
  • Reported total production of 276 Bcfe, or 3.0 Bcfe per day, including 2.4 Bcf per day of gas and 104 MBbls per day of liquids;
  • Received weighted average realized price (excluding impact of transportation and hedges) of $2.92 per Mcfe; and
  • Approximately 90% of remaining 2021 Appalachia natural gas basis protected; annual differential guidance range remains unchanged.

“Southwestern Energy meaningfully advanced its strategic value-creation objectives during the quarter. The Company announced a significant acquisition that we believe is highly accretive across both equity and credit metrics. The addition of Indigo further positions SWN as a leading natural gas company; it expands our investment opportunities across the nation’s top two natural gas basins and enhances our margins while reducing basis volatility. Additionally, in alignment with our ESG strategy, we initiated the certification and continuous monitoring of all Appalachia unconventional wells. These two strategic actions enhance sustainable and responsible value creation for all stakeholders,” said Bill Way, Southwestern Energy President and Chief Executive Officer.

Capital investments include a decrease of $9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and increases of $29 million and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, relating to the change in accrued expenditures between periods. There was no change in the capital accrual for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, Southwestern Energy recorded net loss of $609 million, or ($0.90) per diluted share, compared to a net loss in 2020 of $880 million, or ($1.63) per diluted share. The quarter ended June 30, 2021 included a $772 million loss on unsettled derivatives and the same period for 2020 included a $655 million non-cash impairment and a $229 million loss on unsettled derivatives.

Adjusted net income was $129 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2021, compared to a loss of $1 million, or ($0.00) per diluted share, for the prior year period. The increase was primarily related to a 33% increase in the weighted average realized price including derivatives and a 37% increase in production volumes, largely due to the Montage acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $300 million, net cash provided by operating activities was $270 million and net cash flow (non-GAAP) was $272 million.

As indicated in the table below, second quarter 2021 weighted average realized price, including $0.37 per Mcfe of transportation expenses, was $2.55 per Mcfe excluding the impact of derivatives. Including derivatives, weighted average realized price (including transportation) for the quarter was up 33% from $1.65 per Mcfe in 2020 to $2.20 per Mcfe in 2021 primarily due to higher commodity prices including a 65% increase in NYMEX Henry Hub and a 137% increase in WTI. Second quarter 2021 weighted average realized price before transportation expense and excluding the impact of derivatives was $2.92 per Mcfe.

At quarter end, the Company had hedges in place for 88% of its remaining 2021 expected natural gas production, 71% of its 2021 expected natural gas liquids (NGLs) production and 89% of its 2021 expected oil production. The Company also has approximately 90% of its remaining 2021 expected natural gas production protected from the impact of widening basis differentials through transportation capacity and basis hedges.

As of June 30, 2021, Southwestern Energy had total debt of $3.0 billion and a leverage ratio of 2.6x, an improvement of 0.4x compared to last quarter. At quarter end, the Company had $568 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility with $233 million in letters of credit and ample liquidity of $1.2 billion.

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, management believes certain non-GAAP performance measures may provide financial statement users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results, the results of its peers and of prior periods.

One such non-GAAP financial measure is net cash flow. Management presents this measure because (i) it is accepted as an indicator of an oil and gas exploration and production company’s ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt, (ii) changes in operating assets and liabilities relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements which the Company may not control and (iii) changes in operating assets and liabilities may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred.

Additional non-GAAP financial measures the Company may present from time to time are net debt, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA, all which exclude certain charges or amounts. Management presents these measures because (i) they are consistent with the manner in which the Company’s position and performance are measured relative to the position and performance of its peers, (ii) these measures are more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts, and (iii) charges or amounts excluded cannot be reasonably estimated and guidance provided by the Company excludes information regarding these types of items. These adjusted amounts are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP.
