Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

In the recent Chord Energy second quarter 2025 earnings call, the company provided robust guidance characterized by several key metrics. Chord reported adjusted free cash flow of approximately $141 million for the quarter, returning 92% of this to shareholders, primarily through share repurchases after paying a base dividend of $1.30 per share. Operational efficiencies allowed the company to reduce its full-year capital expenditure by $50 million below the original budget while exceeding production expectations. The company also highlighted significant improvements in free cash flow outlook, which has risen by 20% since February, and free cash flow per share, which has grown by 25% during the same period. Chord's strategic focus remains on optimizing operations, with plans to redeploy a second frac crew in the fourth quarter to set the stage for early 2026 growth and leverage their improved program efficiencies. The company is also pursuing continuous improvement initiatives, such as employing data analytics and artificial intelligence, to drive further cost reductions and operational enhancements.
