The independent oil and gas producer reported adjusted earnings of $1.76 per diluted share, exceeding the $1.62 consensus estimate by 8.80%, while revenue of $844.54 million topped forecasts by 2.52% and surged 50.9% year-over-year. The Uinta integration was the central driver, pushing total daily production to 197.3 MBoe/d, at the high end of guidance and representing a 36% increase from the prior-year quarter, with daily oil volumes climbing 63%. Adjusted EBITDAX grew 44% year-over-year to $588.92 million, and net debt leverage improved to 1.3x as the company advances toward its one-times target. Looking ahead, SM maintained full-year 2025 guidance with one exception, raising its LOE outlook to roughly $5.90 per Boe, while projecting Q2 production of 197 to 203 MBoe/d at 54% to 55% oil.
Key Takeaways
- • Successful integration of Uinta Basin assets driving production to high end of guidance at 53% oil
- • Total daily production increased 36% and daily oil production increased 63% year-over-year, largely from addition of Uinta Basin assets
- • Higher realized pricing including effect of net derivative settlements
- • Adjusted EBITDAX up 44% year-over-year to $588.9 million
- • Cash flow from operations before working capital changes increased 38% year-over-year to $514.5 million
