EXHIBIT 99.1
SM ENERGY REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2024 RESULTS AND
ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF ADDITIONAL UINTA BASIN ASSETS;
HIGHLIGHTS EXCELLENT OPERATIONAL EXECUTION, SIGNIFICANT PORTFOLIO EXPANSION AND INCREASED RETURN OF CAPITAL
DENVER, CO August 7, 2024 - SM Energy Company (the “Company”) (NYSE: SM) today reported operating and financial results for the second quarter 2024, provided certain full year and third quarter 2024 guidance, and announced that the Company has exercised its option to acquire assets located adjacent to its recently announced XCL Acquisition.
Excellent operational execution supported strong second quarter results including:
•Net production was 14.4 MMBoe, or 158.5 MBoe/d, at 46% oil or 72.7 MBbls/d, which exceeded guidance. Higher than expected oil production and total production were driven largely by better than expected performance from Midland Basin wells and higher than expected oil content from new South Texas wells.
•Return of capital to stockholders during the quarter totaled $71.9 million through the repurchase of 1,058,956 shares of common stock and payment of the Company’s $0.18 per share quarterly dividend on May 3, 2024. In June 2024, the Board approved an 11% increase in the Company’s fixed quarterly dividend policy, from $0.18 to $0.20 per share, expected to commence in the fourth quarter 2024, and reloaded the Company’s existing stock repurchase program to $500 million, following repurchases totaling $369.1 million in shares through the second quarter, and extended the program through December 31, 2027.
•Net income was $210.3 million, or $1.82 per diluted common share, Adjusted net income(1) was $1.85 per diluted common share, net cash provided by operating activities was $476.4 million and Adjusted EBITDAX(1) was $485.9 million, all of which benefited from strong oil production and higher than expected oil and NGL prices.
•Net cash provided by operating activities of $476.4 million before net change in working capital of $(50.2) million totaled $426.2 million(1) and capital expenditures of $322.7 million adjusted for a change in capital expenditure accruals of $5.1 million were $327.8 million.(1) Capital expenditures include approximately $12.0 million for an opportunistic bulk pre-purchase of pipe that was not considered in guidance.
•Adjusted free cash flow(1) was $98.4 million, up 45% from the first quarter 2024.
Agreements to acquire assets totaling $2.1 billion expand the Company’s top-tier portfolio of low breakeven assets, add approximately 63,300 net acres and 465 net locations, and are expected to be accretive on all key financial metrics:
•On August 5, 2024, the Company exercised its option to acquire 80% of certain additional assets adjacent to the XCL Resources, LLC asset acquisition in the core of the Uinta Basin for approximately $70.0 million (together with the XCL Acquisition, the “Uinta Basin Acquisitions”). The assets include, net to the Company’s 80% interest, approximately 26,100 net acres, approximately 1 MBoe per day production (based on September 2024 projection) that is 75% oil, and an estimated 75 net drilling locations (normalized to 10,000 feet).
•As previously announced, the Company executed and delivered a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire an 80% undivided interest in the oil and gas assets of XCL Resources, LLC, and
affiliated entities (the “XCL Acquisition”). The assets include, net to the Company’s 80% interest, 37,200 net acres in the Uinta Basin, 43 MBoe/d net production (based on September 2024 projection) that is 88% oil, 107 MMBoe preliminary estimated net proved reserves and an estimated 390 net drilling locations (normalized to 10,000 feet). The transaction has a May 1, 2024, effective date and is expected to close on October 1, 2024. There can be no assurance that this transaction will close on time or at all.
•In addition, the Company confirmed that two initial Woodford-Barnett wells at Sweetie Peck were successfully brought on-line during the second quarter. These wells, together with offset operator wells, indicate more than 20,000 net acres at Sweetie Peck that are prospective for Woodford-Barnett development (inclusive of the previously announced acreage additions to the west).
•Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company issued and sold $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior notes due 2029 and $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.000% senior notes due 2032. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the notes offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under its Credit Agreement, to fund the Uinta Basin Acquisitions, redeem all of its outstanding 5.625% Notes due in 2025, and to pay related fees and expenses.
•On July 25, 2024, the Company issued a notice of redemption to the holders of the 2025 Senior Notes, notifying such holders that the Company intends to redeem the $349.1 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 2025 Senior Notes on August 26, 2024.
President and Chief Executive Officer Herb Vogel comments: “Successful operational execution once again this quarter tops off a great first half of 2024. Second quarter results were driven by strong performance from both core areas. In the Midland Basin, well performance exceeded expectations, while in South Texas performance from recent, fully bounded wells is expected to deliver payout in approximately six months. In addition, preliminary results from two Woodford-Barnett test wells in the Sweetie Peck area look very strong.
“We are excited to significantly expand our top-tier portfolio through the acquisition of assets in the core of the Uinta Basin. The scale of the combined acquisitions, adding approximately 63,300 net acres and 465 net locations, positions the Company for substantial growth in oil rich production and Adjusted free cash flow(1) plus extends the inventory runway. Purchased for less than a three-times Adjusted EBITDAX multiple,(1) the acquisitions offer value creation opportunity and support the increased return of capital program.”

NET INCOME, NET INCOME PER SHARE AND NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Second quarter 2024 net income was $210.3 million, or $1.82 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $149.9 million, or $1.25 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2023. The primary drivers of increased net income were higher production volumes and realized prices per Boe combined with lower LOE and transportation costs per Boe. On a per share basis, the Company’s stock repurchase program contributed to a 4.4 million decrease in the weighted-average diluted share count from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024, further boosting EPS. For the first six months of 2024, net income was $341.5 million, or $2.94 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $348.4 million, or $2.88 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2023.

The $64.7 million, or 18%, increase in the current year period is primarily due to the higher revenue and lower costs described above. For the first six months of 2024, net cash provided by operating activities of $752.4 million before net change in working capital of $47.5 million totaled $799.9 million(1) compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $714.9 million before net change in working capital of $4.4 million that totaled $719.3 million(1) for the same period in 2023.

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company issued and sold $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior notes due 2029, and $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.000% senior notes due 2032. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the notes offering, together with cash on hand and borrowings under its Credit Agreement, to fund the Uinta Basin Acquisitions, redeem all of its
outstanding 5.625% Notes due in 2025, and pay related fees and expenses. The notes were issued at par, and the 2029 notes have a mandatory redemption provision should the pending XCL Acquisition not close on or before July 1, 2025.
COMMODITY DERIVATIVES
As of July 31, 2024, commodity derivative positions for the third through fourth quarters of 2024 include:
SWAPS AND COLLARS:
•Oil: Approximately 5,830 MBbls, or 40-45% of expected 3Q-4Q 2024 net oil production before consideration of the Uinta Basin Acquisitions, is hedged to benchmark prices at an average price of $70.77/Bbl (weighted-average of collar floors and swaps) to $79.93/Bbl (weighted-average of collar ceilings and swaps), excluding basis swaps.
•Natural gas: Approximately 16,430 BBtu, or 20-25% of expected 3Q-4Q 2024 net natural gas production before consideration of the Uinta Basin Acquisitions, is hedged to benchmark prices at an average price of $3.40/MMBtu (weighted-average of collar floors and swaps, excluding basis swaps).

•Gas, HSC differential: Approximately 9,180 BBtu of expected 3Q-4Q 2024 net South Texas natural gas production are hedged to HSC at a weighted-average price of ($0.35)/MMBtu.
A detailed schedule of these and additional derivative positions are provided in the 2Q24 accompanying slide deck.
2024 OPERATING PLAN AND GUIDANCE
The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP capital expenditures because components of the calculation are inherently unpredictable, such as changes to, and timing of, capital accruals. The inability to project certain components of the calculation would significantly affect the accuracy of a reconciliation.
UPDATED GUIDANCE FULL YEAR 2024:
Presented before consideration of Uinta Basin Acquisitions.
•Full year guidance for net production is unchanged at 57-60 MMBoe, or 156-164 MBoe/d.
•Oil production, as a percent of total production, is increased from 44% to 45%, or an average of 70-74 MBbls/d.
•Full year guidance for capital expenditures (net of the change in capital accruals),(1) excluding acquisitions, is unchanged at $1.14-$1.18 billion. The Company has increased the number of net wells drilled and completed in 2024 to approximately 123 and 125, respectively.
•Other expense line items remain unchanged.
Preliminary assumptions for consolidation of Uinta Basin assets for the fourth quarter only.
•Uinta Basin assets expected to add production volumes after close of 44 MBoe/d at 87% oil.
•Capital expenditures related to Uinta Basin assets are expected to add between $100-120 million.
GUIDANCE THIRD QUARTER 2024:
Presented without consideration of Uinta Basin Acquisitions, where expected closing is after quarter-end.
•Capital expenditures (net of the change in capital accruals),(1) excluding acquisitions: are expected to range between $300-$310 million. In the third quarter of 2024, the Company expects to drill approximately 33 net wells, of which 14 are planned for South Texas and 19 are planned for the Midland Basin, and turn-in-line approximately 39 net wells, of which 22 are planned for South Texas and 17 are planned for the Midland Basin. The increased third quarter completion activity in South Texas is expected to contribute to higher volumes and a slight reduction in the oil percentage in the fourth quarter.
•Production volumes are expected to range between 15.0-15.4 MMBoe, or 163-167 MBoe/d, up 0.8 MMBoe sequentially at the mid-point. Oil volumes are expected to be 45-46% of total volumes.

(1) Represents a deposit held in a third-party escrow account related to the XCL Resources Acquisition and is included in the acquisition deposit held in escrow line item on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024. Please reference Note - 11 Acquisitions in Part I, Item II the Company’s Form 10-Q as of June 30, 2024 for additional discussion regarding the XCL Resources Acquisition.
DEFINITIONS OF NON-GAAP MEASURES AND METRICS AS CALCULATED BY THE COMPANY
To supplement the presentation of its financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company provides certain non-GAAP measures and metrics, which are used by management and the investment community to assess the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, as well as compare performance from period to period and across the Company’s peer group. The Company believes these measures and metrics are widely used by the investment community, including investors, research analysts and others, to evaluate and compare recurring financial results among upstream oil and gas companies in making investment decisions or recommendations. These measures and metrics, as presented, may have differing calculations among companies and investment professionals and may not be directly comparable to the same measures and metrics provided by others. A non-GAAP measure should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable GAAP measure or any other measure of a company’s financial or operating performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of the Company’s non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is presented below. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDAX: Adjusted EBITDAX is calculated as net income before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depletion, depreciation, amortization and asset retirement obligation liability accretion expense, exploration expense, property abandonment and impairment expense, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, derivative gains and losses net of settlements, gains and losses on divestitures, gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, and certain other items. Adjusted EBITDAX excludes certain items that the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results and can exclude items that are generally non-recurring in nature or whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP measure that the Company believes provides useful additional information to investors and analysts, as a performance measure, for analysis of the Company’s ability to internally generate funds for exploration, development, acquisitions, and to service debt. The Company is also subject to financial covenants under the Company’s Credit Agreement, a material source of liquidity for the Company, based on Adjusted EBITDAX ratios. Please reference the Company’s second quarter 2024 Form 10-Q and the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussion of the Credit Agreement and its covenants.
Adjusted free cash flow: Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by operating activities before net change in working capital less capital expenditures before changes in accruals. The Company uses this measure as representative of the cash from operations, in excess of capital expenditures that provides liquidity to fund discretionary obligations such as debt reduction, returning cash to stockholders or expanding the business.
Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted common share: Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income per diluted common share excludes certain items that the Company believes affect the comparability of operating results, including items that are generally non-recurring in nature or whose timing and/or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. These items include non-cash and other adjustments, such as derivative gains and losses net of settlements, impairments, net (gain) loss on divestiture activity, gains and losses on extinguishment of debt, and accruals for non-recurring matters. The Company uses these measures to evaluate the comparability of the Company's ongoing operational results and trends and believes these measures provide useful information to investors for analysis of the Company's fundamental business on a recurring basis.
Net debt: Net debt is calculated as the total principal amount of outstanding senior notes plus amounts drawn on the revolving credit facility less cash and cash equivalents (also referred to as total funded debt). The Company uses net debt as a measure of financial position and believes this measure provides useful additional information to investors to evaluate the Company's capital structure and financial leverage.
Net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDAX: Net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDAX is calculated as Net Debt (defined above) divided by Adjusted EBITDAX (defined above) for the trailing twelve-month period (also referred to as “leverage ratio” or “Adjusted EBITDAX multiple”). A variation of this calculation is a financial covenant under the Company’s Credit Agreement. The Company and the investment community may use this metric in understanding the Company’s ability to service its debt and identify trends in its leverage position. The Company reconciles the two non-GAAP measure components of this calculation.
Post-hedge: Post-hedge is calculated as the average realized price after the effects of commodity net derivative settlements. The Company believes this metric is useful to management and the investment community to understand the effects of commodity net derivative settlements on average realized price.
