CNX Update: Production Slipped in 2022, Better Days Ahead in 2023

|
And so begins the quarterly earnings report season. Yesterday CNX Resources issued its fourth quarter and full-year 2022 update. The company doubled its profits in 4Q22, making $1.2 billion, versus a profit of $630 million in 4Q21. However, as big as the profit was in 4Q, CNX still lost $142 million for the entire year--mainly due to $2.6 billion in losses on derivatives for the year. CNX generated $270 million in free cash flow for 4Q and cumulatively generated $707 million of free cash flow for the entire year. Production took a hit, down to 1.53 MMcfe/d (million cubic feet equivalent per day), compared to 1.72 MMcfe/d in 4Q21. The stated reason for the drop in production was a bad well and the cold snap (freeze-offs) during 4Q.
