Southwestern Energy Announces Second Quarter 2018 Results SPRING, Texas
Raises full year 2018 production guidance with no increase to capital
investment guidance Expects portfolio to generate modest free cash flow
in 2018
Southwestern Energy Company (NYSE: SWN) today announced its second
quarter financial and operating results. Unless noted, results are
compared to the second quarter of 2017.
“This quarter’s strong performance reflects increased margins, improved
capital efficiency, and higher production growth,” said Bill Way,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Southwestern Energy. “Our
strategy of delivering growing value from our high-return Appalachia
assets, and shift towards greater liquids while achieving greater
operational efficiencies, are creating enhanced returns for our
shareholders. This is underscored by our assets’ projected ability to
generate modest free cash flow in 2018 without raising capital guidance.”
Second Quarter Highlights
-
Generated net cash provided by operating activities of $300 million
and net cash flow of $280 million, up 13% and 12%, respectively
-
Delivered on previously announced cost initiatives, saving over
$110 million annually (beginning in 2019) through G&A and interest
reductions
-
Realized NGL and oil pricing, including hedges, of $15.05 and
$59.22 per barrel, up 34% and 46%, respectively
-
Increased margins in Southwest Appalachia by 76% to $1.60 per Mcfe
-
Exceeded production guidance, reporting net production of 234 Bcfe,
up 5%
-

Bcfe or 1.8 Bcfe per day, including 20% liquids production
-
Produced 44% higher natural gas liquids and oil of 61,370 barrels
per day
-
Improved well development efficiency driven by leading operational
execution, completing 56 wells, 13 ahead of original development plan
-
Added extended lateral inventory in the Tioga development area
through a joint development arrangement
-
Reported net income attributable to common stock of $51 million, or
$0.09 per diluted share, and adjusted net income attributable to
common stock of $105 million, or $0.18 per diluted share
Full Year Update
-
Maintaining full-year $1.15 - $1.25 billion capital investment
guidance; second quarter capital investment of $403 million,
consistent with front end loaded plan
-
Expecting existing portfolio to generate modest cash flow above
full year capital investment at current prices, with any excess cash
applied to outstanding borrowings on the revolving bank facility
-
Raising net production guidance to 955 - 970 Bcfe, up from 930 -
965 Bcfe (see Production Guidance table below)
-
Increasing Appalachia Basin net production guidance to 695 - 707
Bcfe, up 21% (based on midpoints) compared to 2017
The Company will invest within its original full-year capital investment
guidance of $1.15 to $1.25 billion. Capital investment for the second
quarter totaling $403 million was consistent with the Company’s planned
capital program, including $311 million related to drilling and
completion operations, primarily in the Appalachia Basin. Improved
operational efficiency gains and successful operational execution have
positively affected the pace of activity. The Company has been able to
accelerate completion of an additional 13 wells in the second quarter
compared to the original plan, which will result in a production benefit
throughout the year. The Company now expects to be toward the high end
of its total 2018 well count guidance of 105 to 125 completed wells. The
Company is progressing its previously announced water project in
Southwest Appalachia, which is expected to be operational by year end
with the majority of the capital to be invested during the second half
of the year.
The Company is raising full-year net production guidance to 955 - 970
Bcfe, driven by liquids growth in Southwest Appalachia and production
improvements in Northeast Appalachia. In Southwest Appalachia, the
Company continues to focus on liquids production and has raised total
NGL and oil barrels guidance by 5% (based on midpoints), or 2,700
barrels per day, compared to original guidance. Northeast Appalachia
production is expected to increase by 15 Bcf (based on midpoints) due to
the continued benefit from well outperformance, operational execution
and gathering capacity improvements.

Southwestern Energy recorded net income attributable to common stock of
$51 million or $0.09 per diluted share. Compared to the second quarter
of 2017, net income attributable to common stock was lower primarily due
to an unrealized marked to market loss (non-cash) on hedging positions
of $56 million in 2018 compared to a $173 million gain in 2017.
Adjusted net income attributable to common stock was $105 million, or
$0.18 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2018 and adjusted
earnings before interest, taxes and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) was
$317 million, a 13% increase compared to the second quarter of 2017. The
primary components of adjusted EBITDA included $195 million from
Appalachia operations, $56 million from Fayetteville operations, and $45
million from Midstream operations. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was
primarily due to a 44% increase in liquids production along with
stronger realized oil and NGL pricing and a 1% increase in gas
production, partially offset by lower natural gas prices.
Weighted average realized pricing, including derivatives, transportation
and the benefit of higher NGL and oil pricing, was $2.30 per Mcfe
compared to a NYMEX gas price of $2.80 per Mcf. The Company was able to
mitigate the effect of a $0.38 per Mcf lower NYMEX gas price compared to
the same period in 2017 through improvement in differentials, growth in
liquids pricing and production, along with a realized hedge gain of
$0.09 per Mcfe in 2018.
At June 30, 2018, the Company had liquidity of $1.5 billion and debt of
$3.6 billion. During the quarter, the Company’s credit ratings were
upgraded one notch by S&P and Moody’s to BB and Ba2, respectively.
Southwestern Energy continues to execute a disciplined hedging program
with physical, financial and basis hedges on its forecasted natural gas,
natural gas liquids and oil production. In line with the Company’s focus
on increased liquids exposure, the majority of hedging activity during
the quarter was focused on ethane and propane fixed price swaps. A
summary of the Company’s financial hedging position is provided in the
attached financial tables. Additional information on physical
derivatives, natural gas liquids and oil financial derivatives can be
found in the 10-Q.
E&P Operational Review
Improvement in operational cycle times, increased gathering capacity and
stronger well results drove higher net production volumes of 234 Bcfe,
including 5,585 MBbls, or 61,370 barrels per day, from natural gas
liquids and condensate. Liquids production exceeded the top end of
guidance by 9%. Appalachia Basin production totaled 167 Bcfe, a 19%
increase. The Company invested $396 million in E&P capital and drilled
37 wells, completed 56 wells and placed 45 wells to sales.

Northeast Appalachia – Total net production of 112
Bcf, or 1.2 Bcf per day, was 15% higher than the second quarter of 2017.
The Company placed 17 wells to sales in the second quarter, 11 of which
were online for at least 30 days and utilized the latest completion and
flowback design and had an average 30-day rate of 17.2 MMcf per day.
The Company has expanded its core position in Tioga to 37,500 net acres.
In July, the Company entered into a joint development agreement with a
private firm, adding 23 future drilling locations with projected lateral
lengths averaging 11,000 feet.
The Company is continuing to enhance returns in Tioga, by coupling
additional cost savings with improving well results. In the second
quarter, a three-well pad in Tioga utilized water from the previously
announced water project and benefited from eight completion stages per
day, reducing completion costs by 12% compared to the first development
pad in that area. Eight wells were placed to sales and are outperforming
historical offsets due to operational improvements including optimized
completion designs, targeted drilling zones and the benefit of
field-wide compression. Of note, a two-well pad had an average lateral
length of 7,250 feet and an average 30-day rate of 23.9 MMcf per day,
outperforming the initial Tioga development pad by 49%.
Southwest Appalachia – Total net production was 55
Bcfe, or 604 MMcfe per day, including 60% liquids. Natural gas liquids
and oil production averaged 53,300 and 7,800 barrels per day,
respectively, representing increases of 47% and 31% compared to the
second quarter of 2017.
During the quarter, the Company continued to focus on the rich gas area
in West Virginia, which provides some of the highest margins in the
Company, bringing 26 wells online. Southwest Appalachia’s margin in the
second quarter of 2018 was 76% higher, at $1.60 per Mcfe, compared to
the same period in 2017. The margin improvement was primarily driven by
higher liquids production and prices, which provided a $0.77 per Mcfe
uplift in realized pricing. The weighted average realized price was
$3.00 per Mcfe compared to a realized natural gas prices of $2.23 per
Mcf.
The Company’s rich gas wells account for approximately 75% of the
Company’s drilling efforts in Southwest Appalachia in 2018. Two wells on
a recently developed pad are still producing 1,500 barrels of condensate
per day after 90 days of production and are among the highest condensate
producers reported in the Basin.
The Company continues to realize the benefits of improving capital
efficiencies as evidenced by a three-well pad that was drilled and
completed at approximately $940 per foot. The pad benefited from
increased completion stages pumped per day and reduced cycle times,
which decreased costs and accelerated production. The three wells
averaged an extended lateral length of over 10,700 feet and proppant
loading of 2,500 pounds per foot with an average cost of $10.1 million
per well.
Fayetteville Shale – During the second quarter of 2018,
the Company produced 67 Bcf of natural gas from the Fayetteville Shale,
compared to 82 Bcf in the second quarter of 2017, while generating
positive net cash provided by operating activities, net of capital
investments, of $78 million for its E&P and midstream business.
The Company placed two redevelopment wells online in mid-April, which
utilize advanced completion designs and optimized landing zones. These
wells have been online over 90 days, and in addition the initial
redevelopment well has been online over 275 days. All of these wells
continue to outperform offset well EURs by 25% to 50%. In addition, the
Company is continuing to focus on its base production optimization
efforts to manage the impact of natural decline.

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, adjusted EBITDA and its E&P and Midstream segment operating
income, 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.
See the reconciliations throughout this release of GAAP financial
measures to non-GAAP financial measures for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, as applicable. Non-GAAP financial
measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for
the Company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
