Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31
— view filing on EDGAR →
The company's risk profile deteriorated across multiple fronts in 2025, led by a sharp reserve replacement collapse (244% to 80%), pervasive restructuring activity totaling ~$1B+ in costs, and a commodity price environment that drove realized prices down 19%. Long-term LNG payment obligations more than doubled to $23B+ and debt load rose 25%, materially increasing balance sheet leverage at a time of compressed earnings. Partial relief from Canadian federal carbon tax elimination is real but insufficient to offset the breadth of worsening.
