First Quarter 2025 and Recent Highlights:

  • Production: Sales volume of 571 Bcfe, at the high-end of guidance driven by strong well performance and minimal winter weather impact from integrated midstream coordination

  • Capital Expenditures: $497 million, 19% below the mid-point of guidance due to lower-than-expected completions, land and midstream spending

  • Realized Pricing: Differential $0.16 per Mcf tighter than mid-point of guidance due to tactical production response from opening chokes into strong winter pricing

  • Operating Expenses: Total per unit operating costs of $1.05 per Mcfe, 8% below the mid-point of guidance driven by lower-than-expected LOE and gathering expense

  • Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,741 million; generated $1,036 million of free cash flow attributable to EQT(1)

  • Balance Sheet: Exited the quarter with $8.4 billion total debt and $8.1 billion of net debt,(1) down approximately $1 billion from year-end 2024

  • Increasing Annual Guidance: Raising 2025 production guidance by 25 Bcfe and lowering the mid-point of 2025 capital spending by $25 million due to continued efficiency gains, strong well performance and additional synergy capture from the Company's ownership of the gathering, transmission and storage assets acquired from Equitrans Midstream Corporation (Equitrans Midstream)

  • Accretive Bolt-On Acquisition: Announcing agreement to acquire upstream and midstream assets of Olympus Energy for $1.8 billion(2); purchase price equates to ~3.4x adjusted EBITDA multiple(3) and ~15% unlevered free cash flow yield(4); pro-forma year-end 2025 net debt(1) forecasted to be ~$7 billion at recent strip, comfortably below $7.5 billion target

President and CEO Toby Z. Rice stated, "EQT is off to an exceptional start in 2025, with the first quarter generating the strongest financial results in recent company history. Seamless coordination across our integrated midstream and upstream assets resulted in volumes at the high end of guidance, and our tactical production response opening chokes into peak winter prices drove higher realizations. Along with lower-than-expected capital spending, EQT generated more than $1 billion of free cash flow(1) in the first quarter alone."

Rice continued, "We are raising 2025 production guidance by 25 Bcfe while reducing the mid-point of 2025 capital spending by $25 million due to strong well performance, ongoing efficiency gains and additional Equitrans Midstream synergy capture. This underscores the tremendous momentum we're experiencing at EQT and we see no signs of slowing down as we look ahead."
