      HOUSTON, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chord Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CHRD) ("Chord", "Chord Energy" or the "Company") today reported financial and operating results for the third quarter 2025.

      Key Takeaways and Updates:

      • Strong Execution: Efficient execution and strong asset performance in 3Q25 delivered oil volumes above midpoint of guidance, with E&P and other CapEx below midpoint of guidance;
      • Updated FY25 Outlook: Raised oil volume guidance and maintained CapEx guidance excluding XTO impacts;
      • 4-Mile Lateral Update: TIL'd three additional 4-mile laterals since August. Wells executed faster and below initial cost estimates, with encouraging early time production;
      • Shareholder Returns: Returned 69% of Adjusted FCF(1) to shareholders through the base dividend of $1.30 per share and $83.0MM of share repurchases;
      • Marketing Optimization: Executed numerous agreements YTD expected to deliver $30MM-$50MM annualized FCF savings. See "Marketing Optimization Update" below for additional information; and
      • XTO Acquisition: Completed acquisition of Williston Basin assets from XTO Energy Inc. and affiliates (collectively "XTO"), subsidiaries of Exxon Mobil Corporation, on October 31, 2025 (the "XTO Acquisition"). Total cash consideration paid was $542.2MM, including a $55MM deposit paid in 3Q25. See "2025 Outlook Update" below for additional information.

      3Q25 Operational and Financial Highlights:

      • Production: 155.7 MBopd (280.9 MBoepd), above midpoint of guidance;
      • CapEx: $321.9MM (excluding $11.7MM of reimbursed non-op CapEx), below midpoint of guidance reflecting program timing;
      • LOE: $9.62/Boe, towards high-end of guidance reflecting curtailment of Marcellus volumes and activity timing;
      • GAAP Results: Net cash from operations $559.0MM; net income $130.1MM ($2.26/diluted share); and
      • Non-GAAP Results(1): Adjusted EBITDA $577.8MM; Adjusted FCF $218.6MM ($230.3MM, excluding $11.7MM of reimbursed non-op CapEx); Adjusted Net Income $134.5MM ($2.35/diluted share).

      (1) Non-GAAP financial measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable financial measures under United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").

      "Chord's operational momentum continues and the team delivered solid results in the third quarter," said Danny Brown, Chord Energy's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Third quarter oil volumes and capital were favorable to guidance and Chord raised FY25 oil volume guidance for the second time this year, excluding impacts from the recent acquisition. In addition, the purchase of certain XTO assets closed at the end of October, which extends our inventory runway in core areas while allowing for further capital efficiency through longer lateral development. Chord's strategy revolves around strong capital allocation and continuous improvement. On that front, we're pleased to announce continued progress in de-risking the 4-mile program, including the successful execution on three incremental 4-mile wells. Chord continues to drive efficiency through every aspect of the business which puts the Company in a strong position to lengthen inventory and enhance economics amidst persistent commodity volatility."

      (3)

      Cash taxes paid during the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $7.0MM, or 1.2% of Adjusted EBITDA. Guidance range based on NYMEX WTI between $60/Bbl – $80/Bbl.

      Chord had 25.0 gross (17.0 net) operated TILs in 3Q25.

      Return of Capital:

      Chord declared a base dividend of $1.30 per share of common stock. The dividend will be payable on December 5, 2025 to shareholders of record as of November 19, 2025. Details regarding the Return of Capital calculation can be found in the Company's most recent investor presentation located on its website at https://ir.chordenergy.com/presentations.

      The Company repurchased 788,444 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $105.27 per share totaling $83.0MM in 3Q25, representing 100% of shareholder returns after the base dividend. Shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2025 were 56.9MM (57.3MM on a fully-diluted basis), compared to 57.6MM (58.1MM on a fully-diluted basis) as of June 30, 2025.

      Marketing Optimization Update:

      Chord has executed numerous marketing agreements year-to-date expected to deliver $30MM-$50MM of annualized FCF savings. These agreements encompass crude oil, natural gas and water marketing and midstream services across the Company's Williston Basin acreage position, reflecting Chord's ongoing commitment to continuous improvement, cost efficiency and value creation.

      Chord remains focused on further optimizing its marketing and midstream cost structure by streamlining contract structures and partnering with high-quality service providers. These efforts support the Company's broader continuous improvement initiatives to reduce controllable costs and enhance sustainable FCF generation.

      Operations Update:

      • 4-Mile Laterals: Chord advanced its 4-mile lateral program, with three new 4-mile wells TIL'd since August—each ahead of schedule and under budget. The State Line well in Montana is demonstrating encouraging early production performance, with tracer data indicating contribution from the full lateral. The Violet-Olson wells in the Wheelock area of North Dakota are free-flowing and also showing encouraging early results after successful post-frac cleanouts and tracer data indicating contribution from the full lateral. Chord's first 4-mile well (Rystedt) has matched production from two 2-mile well analogs after only six months. Year-to-date, Chord has TIL'd four 4-mile laterals and expects to TIL a total of seven 4-mile laterals in FY25. Operational efficiency and strong performance support the potential for substantially more 4-mile wells in the 2026 program.
      • Execution: In 2025, the Chord team improved operations, driving efficiencies which led to higher volumes for lower capital spending, while achieving an excellent safety record. Drilling days have dropped from 2024 levels, simulfrac increased daily lateral footage completed, and post-frac cleanouts are now more efficient. The facilities team also lowered costs by using modular prefabricated designs and optimizing wells per facility.
      • Production/LOE: Chord continues to lower failure rates, supported by autonomous rod lift operations, while also shortening cycle-times and reducing costs associated with restoring down wells. Chord has lowered downtime year-over-year, which has driven higher free cash flow from both higher volumes and lower costs. 3Q25 LOE was towards the upper-end of guidance largely reflecting the curtailment of volumes in the Marcellus and activity timing.

      2025 Outlook Update: 

      Chord expects to bring back a second completions crew in 4Q25. Guidance outlined below reflects this outlook and also the impact from the XTO Acquisition. The Company continues to monitor the macro environment and retains flexibility to reduce activity if conditions warrant.

      Chord expects to generate Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $2.4B and Adjusted FCF of approximately $840MM at midpoint of guidance ($60/Bbl WTI and $3.75/MMBtu Henry Hub in 4Q25). Chord plans to TIL115 – 125 gross operated wells (~80% working interest) in FY25, with 23 – 33 gross operated TILs planned in 4Q25 (~80% working interest).     

      Highlights of Chord's updated FY25 guidance include:  

      • Volumes: Excluding the impacts of the XTO Acquisition, 4Q25 oil volumes are increasing 1.0 MBopd vs August outlook to 147.0 MBopd at midpoint of guidance. Excluding the XTO Acquisition, FY25 oil volumes are increasing to 153.3 MBopd at midpoint of guidance. Oil volumes associated with the XTO Acquisition are expected to contribute approximately 4.0 MBopd in 4Q25 leading to total 4Q25 volumes of 151.0 MBopd at midpoint of guidance. FY25 total volumes were adjusted to reflect production curtailments in the Marcellus;
      • CapEx: Adding $15MM of CapEx to FY25 to support maintaining XTO volumes in 2026; otherwise, FY25 CapEx of $1.35B at midpoint of guidance is unchanged vs August outlook. Adjusting 4Q25 CapEx to reflect the XTO related capital and minor schedule shifting from 3Q25 to 4Q25;
      • Differentials: Adjusting to reflect 3Q performance and current market conditions;
      • LOE: Adjusting FY25 to $9.73/Boe at midpoint of guidance to reflect 3Q25 performance (affected by curtailed Marcellus volumes), the inclusion of XTO in 4Q25 and activity timing. 4Q25 adjusted to $9.70/Boe at midpoint of guidance to reflect continued curtailment of Marcellus volumes and impacts from the XTO Acquisition;
      • Cash G&A: Lowering FY25 to $90MM at midpoint of guidance to reflect YTD performance;
      • Cash Interest: Increasing FY25 to $79MM at midpoint of guidance to reflect the issuance of 2030 Senior Notes in September; and

      Non-GAAP Financial Measures

      The following are non-GAAP financial measures not prepared in accordance with GAAP that are used by management and external users of the Company's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company believes that the foregoing are useful supplemental measures that provide an indication of the results generated by the Company's principal business activities. However, these measures are not recognized by GAAP and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. Therefore, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other issuers. From time to time, the Company provides forward-looking forecasts of these measures; however, the Company is unable to provide a quantitative reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures because management cannot reliably quantify certain of the necessary components of such forward-looking GAAP measures. The reconciling items in future periods could be significant. To see how the Company reconciles its historical presentations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please visit the Investors—Documents & Disclosures—Non-GAAP Reconciliation page on the Company's website at https://ir.chordenergy.com/non-gaap.

      Cash GPT

      The Company defines Cash GPT as total GPT expenses less non-cash valuation charges on pipeline imbalances and non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on transportation contracts accounted for as derivative instruments. Cash GPT is not a measure of GPT expenses as determined by GAAP. Management believes that the presentation of Cash GPT provides useful additional information to investors and analysts to assess the cash costs incurred to market and transport the Company's commodities from the wellhead to delivery points for sale without regard to the change in value of its pipeline imbalances, which vary monthly based on commodity prices, and without regard to the non-cash mark-to-market adjustments on transportation contracts classified as derivative instruments.

      The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of GPT expenses to the non-GAAP financial measure of Cash GPT for the periods presented:

      The Company had a buy/sell transportation contract that qualified as a derivative. The changes in the fair value of this contract were recorded to GPT expense. As of June 30, 2024, the term of this contract expired.

      Cash G&A

      The Company defines Cash G&A as total G&A expenses less G&A expenses directly attributable to certain merger and acquisition activity, non-cash equity-based compensation expenses and other non-cash charges. Cash G&A is not a measure of G&A expenses as determined by GAAP. Management believes that the presentation of Cash G&A provides useful additional information to investors and analysts to assess the Company's operating costs in comparison to peers without regard to the aforementioned charges, which can vary substantially from company to company.

      The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of G&A expenses to the non-GAAP financial measure of Cash G&A for the periods presented:

      Includes costs directly attributable to the arrangement with Enerplus for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

      Cash Interest

      The Company defines Cash Interest as interest expense plus capitalized interest less amortization of deferred financing costs. Cash Interest is not a measure of interest expense as determined by GAAP. Management believes that the presentation of Cash Interest provides useful additional information to investors and analysts for assessing the interest charges incurred on the Company's debt to finance its operating activities and the Company's ability to maintain compliance with its debt covenants.

      The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of interest expense to the non-GAAP financial measure of Cash Interest for the periods presented:

      Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow

      The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A"), merger costs, exploration expenses, impairment expenses, loss on debt extinguishment and other similar non-cash or non-recurring charges. The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less Cash Interest and E&P and other capital expenditures (excluding capitalized interest and acquisition capital).

      Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are not measures of net income or cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow provides useful additional information to investors and analysts for assessing the Company's results of operations, financial performance, ability to generate cash from its business operations without regard to its financing methods or capital structure and the Company's ability to maintain compliance with its debt covenants.

      The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measures of net income and net cash provided by operating activities to the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the periods presented:

      Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

      Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and external users of the Company's financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. The Company defines Adjusted Net Income as net income after adjusting for (1) the impact of certain non-cash items, including non-cash changes in the fair value of derivative instruments, non-cash changes in the fair value of the Company's investment in an unconsolidated affiliate, impairment, loss on debt extinguishment and other similar non-cash charges (2) merger costs and (3) the impact of taxes based on an estimated tax rate applicable to those adjusting items in the same period. Adjusted Net Income is not a measure of net income as determined by GAAP.

      The Company calculates earnings per share under the two-class method in accordance with GAAP. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that computes earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share is calculated as (i) Adjusted Net Income (ii) less distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities (iii) divided by the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding for the periods presented.

      The following table presents reconciliations of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Net Income and the GAAP financial measure of diluted earnings per share to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share for the periods presented:
