Diversified Energy’s performance in the first quarter of 2025 delivered exactly 
what shareholders hoped for, impressive financial growth paired with strategic execution.
The company announced a 79% surge in total revenue, reaching $346.9 million compared
to $193.6 million in the same quarter last year. This exceptional increase highlights
the strength of its operational model and its ability to capitalise on favourable
market conditions.

The company’s adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation
rose by 35% to $138.2 million, up from $102.1 million a year ago. Despite significant
revenue expansion, Diversified Energy maintained a healthy EBITDA margin of 47%,
demonstrating its operational discipline and cost management capabilities.

Investors took special notice of the company’s recent acquisition of Maverick Natural
Resources, finalised in March. This move significantly expands Diversified Energy’s
portfolio and is expected to contribute meaningfully to full-year earnings. With
a nine-month contribution from Maverick anticipated, the acquisition stands as a
pivotal step in strengthening the company’s market presence and long-term earnings
potential.

Reaffirming its confidence in future performance, the company reiterated its full-
year EBITDA guidance of between $825 million and $875 million. This forward-looking
statement reflects both strategic clarity and operational strength as Diversified
Energy integrates Maverick’s assets into its already robust portfolio.

Shareholder value remains a central focus, with the board maintaining its quarterly
dividend at 29 US cents per share. By preserving this consistent payout, the company
underscores its financial resilience and commitment to rewarding investors.

Chief Executive Rusty Hutson praised the team’s execution, noting that Diversified
Energy had not only navigated a complex macroeconomic landscape but had also strengthened
its growth platform with the Maverick acquisition. He highlighted that the company
continues to deliver solid results while building long-term value through disciplined
operations and enhanced cash flow.

The market responded quickly and positively, with shares climbing 5.4% on the day
of the announcement. This investor reaction reflects growing confidence in Diversified
Energy’s ability to deliver on its strategic promises while navigating industry 
volatility.
