What's Driving EXE's Business? Latest 10-Q Breakdown

24/24 datapoints verified

AI-extracted from EXPAND ENERGY Corp's 10-Q filed 2026-04-28 — Q1 2026 (quarter ended March 31, 2026). Every figure is machine-verified against the filing text on SEC EDGAR.

Expand Energy reported $4.4B in total revenues for Q1 2026, driven by $3.3B in natural gas, oil and NGL sales (+44% YoY) amid Winter Storm Fern pricing spike and higher production volumes.

Biggest Revenue Drivers

Total revenue: $4.4B+100% YoY

Natural gas, oil and NGL sales$3.3B+44% YoY

Higher average gas prices from Winter Storm Fern and increased volumes across all operating areas from new well production.

Marketing$1.2B+33% YoY

Increased marketed volumes, higher prices amid natural gas price volatility and optimization efforts.

Losses on derivatives($129M)-87% vs. prior year loss

Natural gas unrealized gains of $301M partially offset realized losses of $401M.

Largest Expense Items

Gathering, processing and transportation$690M+23% YoY

Increased volumes, annual fee escalations and NG3 pipeline going into service.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization$711MFlat YoY

Per-unit decrease due to lower depletion rates from higher reserve valuations.

Production expenses$185M+26% YoY

Increased salt water disposal and workover expenses in Haynesville from higher production activity.

Marketing expenses$1.1B+22% YoY

Increased marketed volumes and higher prices.

Margins: Gross margin expanded significantly with operating income of $1.5B vs. a loss of $268M in prior year, driven by higher commodity prices and volume growth. Net income of $1.2B reflected the strong operational performance, though partially offset by $129M in derivative losses.

Watch Items from the Filing

  • Commodity price volatility: Winter Storm Fern drove $807M of the $1.0B revenue increase; without such temporary weather events, underlying pricing and demand structures face pressures from mild weather domestically.
  • Derivative hedge effectiveness: $401M in realized natural gas derivative losses during Q1 show hedging costs; current positions provide floor on 65% of projected 2026 gas volumes but limit upside.
  • Debt redemptions post-quarter: $847M (6.75% notes) and $440M (5.875% notes) redeemed in April 2026 using cash, reducing debt burden but also liquidity from $2.2B cash on hand.
  • NG3 pipeline capital intensity: $18M in quarterly GP&T fees to Momentum joint venture; $301M equity investment carries fair value risk and ongoing ~900 MMcf/day commitment for 12 years.
