EQT Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

News provided by EQT Corporation (EQT-IR)

Jul 22, 2025, 16:30 ET

PITTSBURGH, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT) today announced financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2025.

Second Quarter 2025 Results:Production: Sales volume of 568 Bcfe, at the high-end of guidance driven by strong well performance and compression project outperformance, underscoring continued synergy capture momentum from the Company's acquisition of Equitrans Midstream Corporation (the Equitrans Midstream Merger)
Capital Expenditures: $554 million, 15% below the mid-point of guidance due to continued efficiency gains and midstream project optimization
Realized Pricing: Differential in-line with mid-point of guidance despite much wider-than-expected local basis as tactical curtailment strategy continues to optimize value
Operating Costs: Total per unit operating costs of $1.08 per Mcfe, below the low-end of guidance driven by lower-than-expected LOE and SG&A expense
Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,242 million; generated $240 million of free cash flow attributable to EQT,(1) after the impact of $134 million of net expense related to a securities class action settlement
Balance Sheet: Exited the quarter with $8.3 billion total debt and $7.8 billion net debt,(1) with net debt down approximately $1.4 billion from year-end 2024
Updated Guidance: Updating 2025 guidance to reflect Olympus Acquisition; increasing annual production guidance by 100 Bcfe, lowering full-year per-unit operating cost guidance by 6 cents per Mcfe with no change to 2025 capital spending as efficiency gains offset added Olympus activity

Recent Highlights:In-Basin Demand Growth: Working to finalize agreement to supply natural gas for the 800 MMcf/d Shippingport Power Station;(2) working to finalize agreement to supply natural gas and provide midstream infrastructure for the 665 MMcf/d Homer City Redevelopment project;(2) signed agreement to be the exclusive provider of midstream infrastructure for West Virginia's first large-scale natural gas power plant; secured third-party gathering contract to expand Saturn pipeline system in West Virginia
MVP Projects: Launched open season for MVP Boost project to provide 500 MMcf/d of incremental takeaway capacity into strong demand markets; advancing MVP Southgate project to provide 550 MMcf/d into the Carolinas
Olympus Acquisition: Closed the acquisition (the Olympus Acquisition) of Olympus Energy's upstream and midstream assets on July 1st; integration off to a fast start with the majority of operations expected to be integrated within the next 30 days

President and CEO Toby Z. Rice stated, "Second quarter results highlight a continuation of operational excellence and robust financial performance at EQT. Production was at the high-end of guidance, benefiting from strong well productivity and compression project outperformance. Capital spending came in well below the low-end of guidance, driven by another record-setting quarter for completion efficiency and lower well costs. EQT has generated approximately $3.7 billion of cumulative net cash provided by operating activities and nearly $2 billion of cumulative free cash flow attributable to EQT(1) over the past three quarters during which natural gas prices averaged $3.30 per MMBtu, underscoring the differentiated earnings power of our low-cost, integrated platform."

Rice continued, "We also announced multiple in-basin supply and midstream growth projects, taking a material step forward in our strategy to create low-risk pathways for value-enhancing sustainable growth. We are seeing tremendous momentum for in-basin natural gas power and data center demand and EQT is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this set up due to our production scale, inventory duration, world-class integrated infrastructure, investment grade credit ratings and low emissions credentials."

References in this release to the "Company" refer to EQT Corporation together with its consolidated subsidiaries. As used throughout this release, per unit operating costs reflect, for each period presented, the consolidated amount of such operating cost for the Company (aggregated irrespective of business segment) divided by total sales volume (Mcfe).


Gathering expense per Mcfe decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due primarily to the Company's ownership of the gathering, transmission and storage assets acquired in the Equitrans Midstream Merger completed in the third quarter of 2024 and the Company's ownership of additional interest in gathering assets located in Northeast Pennsylvania acquired in the second quarter of 2024. In addition, gathering expense per unit decreased due to the Company's divestitures of assets in Northeast Pennsylvania completed during 2024 (the NEPA Non-Operated Asset Divestitures).

Transmission expense per Mcfe increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due primarily to capacity charges on the Mountain Valley Pipeline (the MVP) and additional contracted capacity on the Transco pipeline, partly offset by capacity released in connection with the NEPA Non-Operated Asset Divestitures.

Processing expense per Mcfe increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due primarily to increased production of gas requiring processing from wells turned-in-line during and subsequent to the second quarter of 2024.

O&M expense per Mcfe increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 as a result of the Company's operation of the gathering, transmission and storage assets acquired in the Equitrans Midstream Merger.

Production depletion expense per Mcfe increased for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 due to increased sales volume and higher annual depletion rate.

Liquidity
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under EQT Corporation's $3.5 billion revolving credit facility. Total liquidity, excluding available capacity under Eureka Midstream, LLC's (Eureka Midstream) revolving credit facility, as of June 30, 2025 was $4.1 billion.

As of June 30, 2025, total debt and net debt(1) were $8.3 billion and $7.8 billion, respectively, compared to $9.3 billion and $9.1 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2024.

2025 Outlook
The Company now expects total sales volume of 2,300 – 2,400 Bcfe in 2025, an increase of 100 Bcfe from its prior guidance. The Company is reducing its projected full-year 2025 per unit operating costs by 6 cents per Mcfe attributable to benefits from the Olympus Acquisition and upstream LOE outperformance. The Company reaffirms its total capital expenditures guidance of $2,300 – $2,450 million as efficiency gains offset activity adds related to the Olympus Acquisition. During 2025, the Company plans to turn-in-line (TIL) 95 – 120 net wells, including 24 – 36 net wells in the third quarter of 2025. Total sales volume in the third quarter of 2025 is expected to be 590 – 640 Bcfe.

Non-GAAP Disclosures
This news release includes the non-GAAP financial measures described below. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information only and should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income attributable to EQT Corporation, diluted EPS, net income, net cash provided by operating activities, total Production operating revenues, total debt, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from these non-GAAP measures are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital, tax structure, and historic costs of depreciable assets.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to EQT and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted net income attributable to EQT is defined as net income attributable to EQT Corporation, excluding loss (gain) on sale/exchange of long-lived assets, impairments, the revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement and certain other items that the Company's management believes do not reflect the Company's core operating performance. Adjusted EPS is defined as adjusted net income attributable to EQT divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

As a result of the Class B Unitholder's noncontrolling equity interest ownership in the Midstream JV that commenced on December 30, 2024, the Company has adjusted its non-GAAP measure of adjusted net income attributable to EQT. Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, adjusted net income attributable to EQT and the related non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted EPS are no longer adjusted for income from investments, distributions received from equity method investments or non-cash interest expense (amortization). Adjusted net income attributable to EQT and adjusted EPS presented in this news release for the comparative period have also been calculated based on the updated definition.

The Company's management believes adjusted net income attributable to EQT and adjusted EPS provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because it helps facilitate comparisons of operating performance and earnings trends across periods by excluding the impact of items that, in their opinion, do not reflect the Company's core operating performance. For example, adjusted net income attributable to EQT and adjusted EPS reflect only the impact of settled derivative contracts; thus, the measures exclude the often-volatile revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement.

The table below reconciles adjusted net income attributable to EQT and adjusted EPS with net income attributable to EQT Corporation and diluted EPS, respectively, the most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, each as derived from the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations to be included in EQT Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Other expenses consist primarily of transaction costs associated with acquisitions and other strategic transactions and costs related to exploring new venture opportunities. In addition, other expenses included net expense related to a securities class action settlement of $133.7 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and $17.5 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.


(b)

The tax impact of non-GAAP items represents the incremental tax expense/benefit that would have been incurred by the Company had these items been excluded from net income attributable to EQT Corporation, which resulted in a blended tax rate of 22.8% and (106.7)% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 25.9% and 33.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The blended tax rates differ from the Company's statutory tax rate due primarily to state taxes, including valuation allowances limiting certain state tax benefits.


Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to EQT
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, depletion and amortization, loss (gain) on sale/exchange of long-lived assets, impairments, the revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement and certain other items that the Company's management believes do not reflect the Company's core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to EQT is defined as adjusted EBITDA less adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests is defined as the proportionate share of adjusted EBITDA attributable to the third-party ownership interests in the Non-Wholly-Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries (defined below).

As a result of the Company's completion of the Equitrans Midstream Merger in July 2024, which meaningfully increased the Company's equity method investments, the Company adjusted its non-GAAP measure of adjusted EBITDA. Beginning in the third quarter of 2024, adjusted EBITDA was changed to include distributions received from equity method investments. In addition, as a result of the Class B Unitholder's noncontrolling equity interest ownership in the Midstream JV that commenced on December 30, 2024, beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests meaningfully impacted the Company's consolidated results, and, therefore the Company began presenting adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests presented in this news release for the prior comparative period has also been calculated based on the updated definition, and, certain prior period amounts have been recast for comparability.

The Company's management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because they help facilitate comparisons of operating performance and earnings trends across periods by excluding the impact of items that, in their opinion, do not reflect the Company's core operating performance. For example, adjusted EBITDA reflects only the impact of settled derivative instruments and excludes the often-volatile revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement. In addition, adjusted EBITDA includes the impact of distributions received from equity method investments, which excludes the impact of depreciation included within equity earnings from equity method investments and helps facilitate comparisons of the core operating performance of the Company's equity method investments.

The table below reconciles adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA attributable to EQT with net income, the most comparable financial measure as calculated in accordance with GAAP, as reported in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations to be included in EQT Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

(a)

Adjusted EBITDA of the Non-Wholly-Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries attributable to EQT is calculated based on EQT Corporation's current 40% Class A Unitholder share of available cash flow distributions from the Midstream JV, 60% ownership interest in Eureka Midstream Holdings and approximate 34% ownership interest in Teralytic. The Company believes that using its distribution share from the Midstream JV in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA of the Non-Wholly-Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries attributable to EQT best reflects the economic impact of the Company's investment in the Midstream JV on adjusted EBITDA and earnings trends.


Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow Attributable to EQT, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Attributable to EQT and Unlevered Free Cash Flow
Adjusted operating cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less changes in other assets and liabilities. Adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT is defined as adjusted operating cash flow less adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests excluding net interest expense attributable to noncontrolling interests. Free cash flow is defined as adjusted operating cash flow less accrual-based capital expenditures and capital contributions to equity method investments. Free cash flow attributable to EQT is defined as adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT less accrual-based capital expenditures and capital contributions to equity method investments excluding the proportionate share of accrual-based capital expenditures and capital contributions to equity method investments attributable to the third-party ownership interests in the Non-Wholly-Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries. The Company's management believes adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT, free cash flow and free cash flow attributable to EQT provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's liquidity, including the Company's ability to generate cash flow in excess of its capital requirements and return cash to shareholders.

As a result of the Company's completion of the Equitrans Midstream Merger in July 2024, which meaningfully increased the Company's equity method investments, the Company adjusted its non-GAAP measure of free cash flow. Beginning in the third quarter of 2024, free cash flow was changed to exclude capital contributions to equity method investments. In addition, as a result of the Class B Unitholder's noncontrolling equity interest ownership in the Midstream JV that commenced on December 30, 2024, the amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests meaningfully impacted the Company's consolidated cash flows, and, therefore the Company began presenting free cash flow attributable to EQT. Free cash flow and free cash flow attributable to EQT presented in this news release for the prior comparative period has also been calculated based on the updated definition, and, certain prior period amounts have been recast for comparability.

The Company's management believes these measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's liquidity, including the Company's ability to generate cash flow in excess of its capital requirements and return cash to shareholders.

The tables below reconcile adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT, free cash flow and free cash flow attributable to EQT with net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, as derived from the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows to be included in EQT Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Production Adjusted Operating Revenues
Production adjusted operating revenues (also referred to as total natural gas and liquids sales, including cash settled derivatives; and, prior to the Equitrans Midstream Merger, was referred to as adjusted operating revenues) is defined as total Production operating revenues, less the revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement and Production other revenues. The Company's management believes that this measure provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because it helps facilitate comparisons of operating performance and earnings trends across periods. Production adjusted operating revenues reflects only the impact of settled derivative contracts; thus, the measure excludes the often-volatile revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement. The measure also excludes Production other revenues because it is unrelated to the revenue from the Company's natural gas and liquids production.

The table below reconciles Production adjusted operating revenues with total Production operating revenues, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, as reported in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations to be included in EQT Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Net Debt
Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Total debt includes the Company's current portion of debt, revolving credit facility borrowings and senior notes. The Company's management believes net debt provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and assists them in evaluating the Company's leverage since the Company could choose to use its cash and cash equivalents to retire debt.

The table below reconciles net debt with total debt, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, as derived from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to be included in EQT Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

As of December 31, 2024, the current portion of debt included borrowings outstanding under Eureka Midstream's revolving credit facility. Eureka Midstream is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eureka Midstream Holdings. See EQT Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 for further discussion.


(b)

As of June 30, 2025, revolving credit facility borrowings included borrowings outstanding under Eureka Midstream's revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2024, revolving credit facility borrowings included borrowings outstanding under EQT Corporation's revolving credit facility.


The Company has not provided a reconciliation of projected net debt to projected total debt, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company is unable to project total debt for any future period because total debt is dependent on the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that may not relate to the periods in which the operating activities occurred. The Company is unable to project these timing differences with any reasonable degree of accuracy and therefore cannot reasonably determine the timing and payment of revolving credit facility borrowings or other components of total debt without unreasonable effort. Furthermore, the Company does not provide guidance with respect to its average realized price, among other items that impact reconciling items between certain of the projected total debt and projected net debt, as applicable. Natural gas prices are volatile and out of the Company's control, and the timing of transactions and the distinction between cash on hand as compared to revolving credit facility borrowings are too difficult to accurately predict. Therefore, the Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of projected net debt to projected total debt, without unreasonable effort.
