Southwestern Energy Announces Third Quarter 2022 Results


Southwestern Energy Company (NYSE: SWN) today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.

"During the third quarter, the Company executed on its plan, progressed debt repayment and achieved our target leverage range. This was complemented by continued return of capital to our shareholders, bringing total share repurchases to date to 10% of the authorized amount. With an increasing and resilient free cash flow generation profile, a strengthening balance sheet, near investment grade credit ratings, and advantaged access to the LNG Corridor and other growing demand centers, Southwestern Energy offers a differentiated rate of change investment opportunity to what we believe is a structurally constructive long-term natural gas outlook," said Bill Way, Southwestern Energy President and Chief Executive Officer.

Capital investments include a decrease of $33 million and an increase of $34 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and increases of $44 million and $63 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, relating to the change in accrued expenditures between periods.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, Southwestern Energy recorded net income of $450 million, or $0.40 per diluted share. Adjusting for the impact of the Company's valuation allowance and other one-time items, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $360 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $824 million. Net cash provided by operating activities was $797 million, net cash flow (non-GAAP) was $765 million and free cash flow (non-GAAP) was $222 million.

The Company primarily utilized free cash flow generated in the third quarter of 2022 to reduce the balance of its revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2022, Southwestern Energy had total debt of $4.9 billion and net debt to adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) of 1.4x. At the end of the quarter, the Company had $180 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility and $109 million in outstanding letters of credit. In August 2022, the Company received an upgrade to its long-term debt issuer rating from Fitch to BB+, placing the Company one notch below an investment grade credit rating by all three credit agencies.

During the third quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 10.8 million shares for a total cost of approximately $80 million at an average price of $7.41 per share.

As indicated in the table below, third quarter 2022 weighted average realized price, including $0.26 per Mcfe of transportation expenses, was $7.33 per Mcfe excluding the impact of derivatives. Including derivatives, weighted average realized price (including transportation) for the third quarter was up 23% from $2.49 per Mcfe in 2021 to $3.06 per Mcfe in 2022 primarily due to higher commodity prices including a 104% increase in NYMEX Henry Hub and a 30% increase in WTI. Third quarter 2022 weighted average realized price before transportation expense and excluding the impact of derivatives was $7.59 per Mcfe.

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 the Company's 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 free cash flow, 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.
