Coterra Energy reports Q4 adjusted EPS 52c, consensus 55c

Reports Q4 revenue $1.6B, consensus $1.53B. Tom Jorden, Chairman, CEO and President of Coterra, noted, “Coterra’s outstanding 2023 results were driven by our commitment to operational excellence, coupled with strong execution in the field. The Company invested at the mid-point of capital guidance and beat the high-end of production guidance, which was driven by a combination of strong well productivity and field efficiency gains. As we look ahead, our 2024 capital plan underscores Coterra’s ability to pivot capital as fundamentals in the commodity markets dictate. Our disciplined, economically driven approach reduces total capital investment by roughly 12% year over year driven by lower natural-gas focused investments partially offset by a modest increase of investment in our liquids-rich basins. The company maintains optionality to further pivot capital in the future, should macro conditions warrant.”
