Filing receipts
“The increase in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to a $164.5 million increase in average debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement, a $198.0 million increase in average debt outstanding under the San Mateo Credit Facility, and a $250.0 million increase in the weighted average of senior notes outstanding between the periods, partially offset by lower interest rates.”
“The increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily due to a $175.8 million increase in average debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement, a $200.5 million increase in average debt outstanding under the San Mateo Credit Facility, and a $158.9 million increase in the weighted average of senior notes outstanding between the periods, partially offset by lower interest rates.”
“The decrease in purchased natural gas expense was primarily due to a decline of approximately 910% in average Waha pricing resulting in negative prices during the current period, which was partially offset by a 55% increase in volumes purchased due to the weaker market pricing.”
