Diversified Energy Posts Record 2025 Results on Transformational Acquisitions and Strong Cash Flow

The latest update is out from Diversified Energy Company ( (DEC) ).

Diversified Energy reported record 2025 results, with revenue surging to $1.83 billion and net income reaching $342 million, driven by higher production and the integration of roughly $2 billion in acquisitions from Maverick Natural Resources and Canvas Energy. Adjusted EBITDA doubled to $956 million and free cash flow rose to $440 million, allowing the company to reduce leverage to 2.3 times, retire $277 million of asset-backed debt, and return more than $185 million to shareholders through dividends and buybacks.

The company’s acquisitions, combined with a strategic partnership with Carlyle to invest up to $2 billion in proved developed producing assets, position Diversified as a leading consolidator of mature U.S. energy assets with over 1.2 Bcfepd of low-decline output and strong hedging support. Management highlighted additional value levers from non-operated joint development programs, a portfolio optimization initiative that realized about $160 million from non-core divestitures, and expanded well-retirement capabilities, underscoring its focus on capital efficiency, environmental stewardship, and long-term cash generation.
