Read MoreHide Full Article

Crescent Energy Company (CRGY - Free Report) is slated to report second-quarter 2024 results on Aug 5, after market close.   

In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 155.56%. It also delivered a trailing four-quarter average earnings surprise of 112.25%.

Factors to Note

Crescent Energy generates revenues primarily from the sale of its oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) production. Therefore, the improved sales volume of these products is expected to have boosted its quarterly top-line performance.

To this end, the consensus estimate for CRGY’s daily net sales volumes of oil, natural gas and NGL reflects a year-over-year improvement of 10.3%, 14.2% and 33.4%, respectively, for the second quarter. Notably, the Western Eagle Ford acquisition, made in July 2023, is anticipated to have been the key growth driver for the increased sales volume. 

In terms of revenue expectations, solid sales volume, along with the soaring price of oil as well as NGL, must have boosted CRGY’s oil and NGL revenues in the second quarter.  However, persistently low natural gas prices might have adversely impacted the revenue performance of its natural gas unit amid the benefits of improved sales volume. 

Consequently, the consensus estimate for second-quarter revenues from oil, natural gas and NGL reflects a year-over-year improvement of 16%, 23.9% and 0.8%, respectively.

Q2 Expectations

Positive revenue growth projections from CRGY’s oil, natural gas and NGL units, which account for approximately 95% of the company’s total revenues, can be expected to have bolstered the overall top-line performance.  The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $611.3 million, indicating a 24.2% improvement from the prior-year quarter’s reported number.

Solid sales growth expectations, along with the company’s ongoing efforts to reduce its operating costs, are likely to have bolstered its bottom-line performance. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for second-quarter earnings is pegged at 26 cents per share, implying an improvement of 73.3% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
