| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $11.6B | +176.0% | -32.7% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $1.8B | +354.8% | -55.0% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +46.5% | +72.1% | +47.6% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +17.5% | +191.9% | -35.9% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +15.6% | +192.3% | -33.1% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $1.8B | +22887.5% | -79.8% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +15.8% | +8230.2% | -69.9% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 27.2% | -17.9% | -25.8% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 1.01x | +57.2% | -13.7% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $28.3B | +1.4% | -5.1% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |

Operator: Good day, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Expand Energy Corporation's Second Quarter 2026 Earnings Conference Call. As a reminder, this conference call is being recorded. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to Ms. Brittany Raiford. Ma'am, please begin. Brittany Raiford: Thank you, Howard. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining our call today to discuss Expand Energy's 2026 second quarter financial and operating results. Hopefully, you've had a chance to review our press release and updated investor presentation that we posted to our website yesterday. During this morning's call, we will make forward-looking statements, which consist of statements that cannot be confirmed by reference to existing information, including statements regarding our beliefs, goals, expectations, forecasts, projections and future performance and the assumptions underlying such statements. Please note that there are a number of factors that will cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements, including the factors identified and discussed in our press release yesterday and in other SEC filings.

With me on the call today are Mike Wichterich, Josh Viets, Marcel Teunissen and Daniel Turco. Mike will give a brief overview of our results and then we will open up the line for Q&A. So with that, thank you again. I'll now turn over the conference to Mike. Michael Wichterich: Thanks, Brittany. Good morning, and thank you for joining our call. It's now been 6 months since taking the role of Interim CEO. I told you last quarter that I couldn't be more optimistic about the future of Expand. Today's quarterly results are a testament to why I was optimistic then and why my optimism today continues to grow. Let's talk about why. First, the Expand team has earned a well-deserved reputation for operational excellence and execution. This quarter was no exception. Our Southwest App team had a particularly good quarter. The team has consistently delivered tremendous operating results conducted with a safety-first mindset. Our employee and contractor safety is job #1. Second, we embrace that to be a great company, we need to be a disciplined allocator of capital. This year has been a clear reflection of that commitment. In the first quarter, our free cash flow surged as a result of high natural gas prices. We were able to capture this volatility and prudently chose to pay down $1.3 billion in gross debt. This was intentionally done to put us in a position to capitalize on times …
