Egypt payments and impact on net debt and free cash flow
Based on the strong, longstanding partnership with the Government of Egypt, APA received substantial payments from the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) during the third quarter. Egypt receivables have now returned to normalized levels.
Following the payments from EGPC, APA made proportional distributions to its non-controlling interest partner in Egypt. Total distributions to the partner were $173 million during the third quarter, compared to $126 million and $91 million in the first and second quarters respectively. As a reminder, APA’s definition of free cash flow excludes changes in working capital, thus, these payments from Egypt do not increase APA’s free cash flow for the quarter. However, the definition of free cash flow does include partner distributions, which reduces free cash flow. As a result of these positive developments, net debt and free cash flow were both lower than previously expected.
Production update
APA curtailed approximately 20 MMcf/d of U.S. natural gas production and 1,400 barrels per day of U.S. natural gas liquids production in the third quarter in response to weak or negative Waha hub prices.
Weighted-average shares outstanding
The estimated weighted-average basic common shares for the third quarter is 357 million. APA repurchased 3.1 million shares at an average price of $20.78 per share during the third quarter.
