Key Terms

hedge financial

A hedge is an action or arrangement investors use to reduce the chance of losing money from a specific risk, like a sudden price drop or currency move. Think of it as financial insurance or an umbrella: it may cost something up front and can limit upside gains, but it protects the portfolio from bigger losses by offsetting or balancing the unwanted exposure. Hedging matters because it helps manage volatility and preserve capital, especially when uncertainty is high.

MMBtu technical

A MMBtu is a unit of energy equal to one million British thermal units, commonly used to measure natural gas and other fuel quantities for trading and contracts. For investors, it translates raw energy into a standardized price metric—think of it like gallons for gasoline—so changes in the MMBtu price affect producer revenues, utility costs, commodity derivatives, and the profitability of energy-related investments.

Henry Hub technical

Henry Hub is a physical natural gas pipeline junction in Louisiana that serves as the standard pricing point for U.S. natural gas contracts and the benchmark used in major futures markets. Think of it as the central marketplace where a single quoted price is set; that price acts like a reference tag that influences energy company revenues, utility costs, commodity trading and related stock valuations, so movements there can ripple through broader markets.

When used in this release, words such as “may,” “assume,” “forecast,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “plan,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “budget” and similar expressions are used to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current belief, based on currently available information, as to the outcome and timing of future events at the time such statement was made.

Such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, including those incident to the development, production, gathering and sale of oil, natural gas and NGLs, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of the Company. These include, but are not limited to, our ability to complete the proposed Transaction on the proposed terms or anticipated timeline (or at all); risks related to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing the proposed Transaction, including receipt of clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act; our failure to realize, in full or at all, the anticipated benefits of the proposed Transaction, including synergies; business disruptions resulting from the proposed Transaction that could harm our business operations, including current plans and operations and the diversion of management's attention from our ongoing business operations; commodity price volatility; inflation; lack of availability and cost of drilling, completion and production equipment and services; supply chain disruption; project construction delays; environmental risks; drilling, completion and other operating risks; lack of availability or capacity of midstream gathering and transportation infrastructure; regulatory changes; the uncertainty inherent in estimating reserves and in projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to capital; the timing of development expenditures; the concentration of the Company’s operations in the Appalachian Basin; difficult and adverse conditions in the domestic and global capital and credit markets; impacts of geopolitical events and world health events, including trade wars; lack of transportation and storage capacity as a result of oversupply, government regulations or other factors; potential financial losses or earnings reductions resulting from the Company’s commodity price risk management program or any inability to manage its commodity risks; failure to realize expected value creation from property acquisitions and trades; weather related risks; competition in the oil and natural gas industry; loss of production and leasehold rights due to mechanical failure or depletion of wells and the Company’s inability to re-establish production; the Company’s ability to service its indebtedness; political and economic conditions and events in foreign oil and natural gas producing countries, including embargoes, continued hostilities in the Middle East and other sustained military campaigns, the armed conflict in Ukraine and associated economic sanctions on Russia, conditions in South America, Central America, China and Russia, and acts of terrorism or sabotage; evolving cybersecurity risks such as those involving unauthorized access, denial-of-service attacks, malicious software, data privacy breaches by employees, insiders or others with authorized access, cyber or phishing-attacks, ransomware, social engineering, physical breaches or other actions; risks related to the Company’s ability to expand its business, including through the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel; and the other risks described in our filings with the SEC, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K.

Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of hydrocarbons that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimates depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any future production and development program. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered.

Please read the Company’s filings with the SEC, including “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in our other filings we make with the SEC, for a discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those in such forward-looking statements. As a result, actual outcomes and results could materially differ from what is expressed, implied to forecast in such statements. Therefore, these forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of our performance, and you should not place undue reliance on such statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.
