Diversified Energy Company PLC CEO Rusty Hutson Jr. joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company’s first-half 2025 results, which were in line with expectations and underscored strong strategic and financial progress.
For Q2 2025, Diversified reported $510 million in revenue and $280 million in adjusted EBITDA, generating $88 million in adjusted free cash flow. Production for the six-month period averaged 192,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
The integration of recently acquired Maverick Natural Resources assets remains on track, already delivering $60 million in synergy gains. Year-to-date, Diversified has returned $105 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. At quarter-end, the company reported $416 million in liquidity and a 2.6x leverage ratio.
A key milestone in the period was the strategic partnership with The Carlyle Group, bringing a $2 billion investment commitment. Hutson called it a “transformational milestone”, enabling the company to scale responsibly in a non-dilutive way while maintaining disciplined capital allocation.
The company’s Smarter Asset Management (SAM) program and targeted capital investments delivered $70 million in additional cash flow from asset optimization and high-return projects. Diversified is reiterating its full-year 2025 guidance, with expected operational synergies from Maverick enhancing efficiency and cost structure in Oklahoma while keeping the focus on returns and free cash flow generation.
