News Release Coterra Energy Reports Second-Quarter 2025 Results, Announces Quarterly Dividend, and Provides Guidance Update HOUSTON, August 4, 2025 - Coterra Energy Inc. (NYSE: CTRA) (“Coterra” or the “Company”) today reported second-quarter 2025 financial and operating results and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.22 per share. Additionally, the Company provided third-quarter production and capital guidance and updated full-year 2025 guidance. Tom Jorden, Chairman, CEO and President of Coterra, noted, "We are pleased to report an excellent quarter with strong capital efficiency driven by lower than expected capital expenditures and higher than expected production. We are expecting to run consistent activity in the second half of 2025, with nine rigs in the Permian, two rigs in the Marcellus, and one to two rigs in the Anadarko. Our high-quality assets provide robust returns in the current environment and remain durable through the cycles. While we maintain significant operational flexibility, we expect our steady activity cadence to support a highly capital efficient 2026. Coterra provides a unique and compelling investment opportunity, with durable cash flows supported by the Company's diversified commodity mix and differentiated inventory depth and quality, all supported by a peer-leading balance sheet." Key Takeaways & Updates • For the second quarter of 2025, total BOE (barrels of oil equivalent) and natural gas production exceeded the high-end of our guidance ranges while oil volumes beat the midpoint by approximately 2%. Capital expenditures (non-GAAP) were below the low-end of our guidance range. • Increasing full-year 2025 total equivalent and natural gas production guidance, maintaining oil production midpoint. • Expect 2025 capital expenditures (non-GAAP) to be approximately $2.3 billion, which assumes consistent activity in the second half of the year with nine rigs in the Permian, two rigs in the Marcellus, and one to two rigs in the Anadarko. • Expect 2025 Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP) to total $2.1 billion, at recent strip prices. • Second-quarter 2025 direct shareholder returns totaled approximately 58% of Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP), which includes our declared dividend of $0.22 per share, or approximately $168 million, and $23 million of share repurchases. Additionally, the Company repaid $100 million of term loans bringing total returns to 89% of Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP). In 2025, Coterra remains committed to reducing leverage and executing opportunistic share repurchases. • Announcing a new power netback gas sale agreement in the Permian, expected to start in 2028, further diversifying our natural gas marketing portfolio. • Coterra published its 2025 Sustainability Report on August 4, 2025. The report can be found under "Sustainability" on the Company's website. 1 Second-Quarter 2025 Highlights • Net Income (GAAP) totaled $511 million, or $0.67 per share. Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) was $367 million, or $0.48 per share. • Cash Flow From Operating Activities (GAAP) totaled $937 million. Discretionary Cash Flow (non-GAAP) totaled $949 million. Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP) totaled $329 million. • Cash paid for capital expenditures for drilling, completion and other fixed asset additions (GAAP) totaled $620 million. Incurred capital expenditures from drilling, completion and other fixed asset additions (non-GAAP) totaled $569 million, below the low end of our guidance range of $575 to $650 million. • Unit operating cost (reflecting costs from direct operations, transportation, production taxes and G&A) totaled $9.34 per BOE, near the mid-point of our annual guidance range. • Total equivalent production of 783.9 MBoepd (thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day), above the high end of guidance (710 to 760 MBoepd). ◦ Oil production averaged 155.4 MBopd (thousand barrels of oil per day), near the high end of our guidance range (147 to 157 MBopd). ◦ Natural gas production averaged 2,998.6 MMcfpd (million cubic feet of gas per day), exceeding the high end of guidance (2,700 to 2,850 MMcfpd). ◦ NGLs production averaged 128.7 MBopd. • Realized average prices: ◦ Oil was $62.80 per Bbl (barrel), excluding the effect of commodity derivatives, and $64.01 per Bbl, including the effect of commodity derivatives. ◦ Natural Gas was $2.20 per Mcf (thousand cubic feet), excluding the effect of commodity derivatives, and $2.27 per Mcf, including the effect of commodity derivatives. ◦ NGLs were $18.72 per Bbl. 2 Shareholder Return Highlights • Common Dividend : On August 4, 2025, Coterra's Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.22 per share, equating to a 3.6% annualized yield, based on the Company's $24.39 closing share price on July 31, 2025. The dividend will be paid on August 28, 2025 to holders of record on August 14, 2025. • Share Repurchases : During the quarter, the Company repurchased 0.9 million shares for $23 million, leaving $1.1 billion remaining as of June 30, 2025 on its $2.0 billion share repurchase authorization. • Shareholder Returns: During the quarter, direct shareholder returns amounted to approximately $191 million, comprised of approximately $168 million of declared dividends and $23 million of share repurchases, totaling approximately 58% of Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP).The Company also repaid $100 million of debt during the quarter. • Reiterate Shareholder Return Strategy: Coterra expects to return 50% or greater of annual Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP) to shareholders through the cycles via its base dividend and share repurchases. However, in 2025, after payment of its base dividend, the Company is prioritizing debt reduction as it looks to retire the outstanding $650 million term loans, associated with the Company's Delaware Basin acquisition in first quarter. Coterra retired $350 million of term loans in the first half of 2025. Guidance Updates • Expect 2025 capital expenditures (non-GAAP) of approximately $2.3 billion. • Announcing third-quarter 2025 guidance, including total equivalent production of 740 to 790 MBoepd, oil production of 158 to 168 MBopd, natural gas production of 2,750 to 2,900 MMcfpd, and capital expenditures (non-GAAP) of $625 to $675 million. • Estimate full-year 2025 effective tax rate of 22%, which we expect to be 40% to 60% current tax. • For more details on annual and third-quarter 2025 guidance, see 2025 Guidance Section in the tables below. Announcing New Power Sales Agreement in the Permian Coterra is announcing a new power netback gas sale agreement with CPV Basin Ranch Energy Center, a proposed 1,350 megawatt (MW) combined-cycle natural gas power plant designed with the option to include a carbon capture system. The agreement to sell 50 MMcf per day for a seven-year term is expected to start in 2028, and will be indexed to ERCOT West pricing, adding to the Company’s two existing power netback deals in the Marcellus which currently comprise 330 MMcf per day. Coterra has also secured a right to purchase up to 250 MW per day of power from the facility, located in Ward County, Texas. This is the first power netback deal secured by Coterra in the Permian Basin. Coterra will continue to explore ways to further diversify its gas sales portfolio across all three of its operating basins through power, LNG, data centers and other long-term opportunities. Strong Financial Position In conjunction with the closing of the Franklin Mountain Energy and Avant Natural Resources acquisitions in late January, Coterra issued $1.0 billion of new debt through its term loan agreements. Subsequently, Coterra has paid down $350 million of the term loans year-to-date, including an incremental $100 million during the second quarter, 3 leaving $650 million of term loan debt outstanding. As of June 30, 2025, Coterra had total debt outstanding of $4.15 billion (principal balance). The Company exited the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $192 million, and no debt outstanding under its $2.0 billion revolving credit facility, resulting in total liquidity of approximately $2.19 billion. Coterra's Net Debt to trailing twelve-month Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDAX ratio (non-GAAP) at June 30, 2025 was 0.9x, pro forma for the Franklin and Avant acquisitions. The Company remains committed to near-term debt reduction.

However, we believe certain non-GAAP performance measures may provide financial statement users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods. In addition, we believe these measures are used by analysts and others in the valuation, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry. See the reconciliations below that compare GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures for the periods indicated. We have also included herein certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, including, among others, the reinvestment rate, which is defined as capital expenditures (non-GAAP) as a percentage of Discretionary Cash Flow (non-GAAP). We believe the reinvestment rate provides investors with useful information on management's projected use and reinvestment of its future cash flows back into Coterra's operations. Due to the forward-looking nature of these non-GAAP financial measures, we cannot reliably predict certain of the necessary components of the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP measures, such as changes in assets and liabilities (including future impairments) and cash paid for certain capital expenditures. Accordingly, we are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of such forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures. Reconciling items in future periods could be significant. Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are presented based on our management's belief that these non-GAAP measures enable a user of financial information to understand the impact of identified adjustments on reported results. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income plus gain and loss on sale of assets, non-cash gain and loss on derivative instruments, stock-based compensation expense, severance expense, and tax effect on selected items. Adjusted Earnings per Share is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted-average common shares outstanding. Additionally, we believe these measures provide beneficial comparisons to similarly adjusted measurements of prior periods and use these measures for that purpose. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income and earnings per share, as defined by GAAP.

Discretionary Cash Flow is widely accepted as a financial indicator of an oil and gas company’s ability to generate available cash to internally fund exploration and development activities, return capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, and service debt and is used by our management for that purpose. Discretionary Cash Flow is presented based on our management’s belief that this non-GAAP measure is useful information to investors when comparing our cash flows with the cash flows of other companies that use the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities or have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. Discretionary Cash Flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or net income, as defined by GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity. Free Cash Flow is defined as Discretionary Cash Flow less cash paid for capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow is an indicator of a company’s ability to generate cash flow after spending the money required to maintain or expand its asset base, and is used by our management for that purpose. Free Cash Flow is presented based on our management’s belief that this non-GAAP measure is useful information to investors when comparing our cash flows with the cash flows of other companies. Free Cash Flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or net income, as defined by GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDAX is presented on our management’s belief that this non-GAAP measure is useful information to investors when evaluating our ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur debt without regard to financial or capital structure. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDAX for that purpose. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or net income, as defined by GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity.

Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDAX represents the effects of the Franklin Mountain Energy and Avant Natural Resources acquisitions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2024. Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDAX is presented on our management’s belief that this non-GAAP measure is useful information to investors when evaluating our ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur debt after the acquisitions without regard to financial or capital structure. Our management uses Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDAX for that purpose. Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDAX is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, pro forma net income or net income, as defined by GAAP, or as a measure of liquidity.

This ratio is a measurement which is presented in our annual and interim filings and our management believes this ratio is useful to investors in assessing our leverage. Net Debt is calculated by subtracting cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments from total debt. The Net Debt to Adjusted Capitalization ratio is calculated by dividing Net Debt by the sum of Net Debt and total stockholders’ equity. Net Debt and the Net Debt to Adjusted Capitalization ratio are non-GAAP measures which our management believes are also useful to investors when assessing our leverage since we have the ability to and may decide to use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments to retire debt. Our management uses these measures for that purpose. Additionally, as our planned expenditures are not expected to result in additional debt, our management believes it is appropriate to apply cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments to reduce debt in calculating the Net Debt to Adjusted Capitalization ratio.
