SOUTHWESTERN ENERGY ANNOUNCES

2013 FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

Houston, Texas – February 27, 2014...Southwestern Energy Company (NYSE: SWN) today announced its financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2013. Calendar year 2013 highlights include:

· Record gas and oil production of 656.8 Bcfe, up 16%  compared to 2012 levels;

· Record total proved reserves of approximately 7.0 Tcf, up 74% compared to 2012 levels;

· Record adjusted net income of $703.9 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, up 45%  compared to 2012 levelswhen excludinggains on derivative contracts, net of settlements,  non-cash ceiling test impairments of natural gas and oil propertiesand other discrete income tax adjustments(a non-GAAP measure reconciled below);

· Record net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $2.0 billion, up 24%  compared to 2012 levels(a non-GAAP measure reconciled below);

· Finding and development costs of $0.56 per Mcfe,  including reserve revisions (a non-GAAP measure computed below);

· Reserve replacement of 550%,  including reserve revisions;

· Marcellus Shale production up 181% compared to 2012 levels; gross operated production reaches nearly 700 MMcf per day; Susquehanna County well reaches a peak production rate over 32 MMcf per day; and

· Cumulative gross operated production of 3 Tcf from the Fayetteville Shale; record well initial production rate over 12 MMcf per day in the Fayetteville Shale.

“2013 was an outstanding year for Southwestern Energy,” remarked Steve Mueller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Southwestern Energy. “We set records in production, reserves, net income, EBITDA and cash flow, and all of this was achieved in a gas price environment below $4.00 per Mcf. Our Marcellus Shale division drove our overall production growth, with gross operated production reaching nearly 700 MMcf per day at year-end 2013 compared to 300 MMcf per day at year end 2012. Our production in the Marcellus nearly tripled while total proved reserves more than doubled.

“OurFayetteville Shale division had one of its best years ever in 2013, not only by surpassing the milestone of 3 Tcf of cumulative gross operated production, but also by achieving our highest average initial production rate per wellat the lowest average cost per well since we began drilling in the Fayetteville in 2004.

“We have also had a strong start in 2014, with gas prices beginning the year well above the $4.00 per Mcf level. Our focus, however, remains the same – to add more value every day through our current drilling programs while keeping our costs low,all the while building for the future with new exploration ideas.  I want to thank all of our employees for our record-setting performance in 2013.  It looks like Southwestern Energy will be setting new records again in 2014.”

Fourth Quarter of 2013 Financial Results

For the fourth quarter of 2013, Southwestern reported adjusted net income of $188.4 million, or $0.54 per diluted share, when excluding a  $51.3 million ($30.9 million net of taxes)  loss on derivative contracts, net of settlements, and other discrete income tax expense adjustments totaling $13.0 million. Including these adjustments, net income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $144.5 million, or $0.41 per diluted share (reconciled below). For the fourth quarter of 2012, Southwestern reported adjusted net income of $156.7 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, when excluding an $849.3 million non-cash ceiling test impairment ($510.4 million net of taxes) of the company’s natural gas and oil properties resulting from lower natural gas prices and a$3.0 million ($1.9 million net of taxes)  loss on derivative contracts, net of settlements. Including these adjustments, Southwestern reported a net loss of $355.6 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012 (reconciled below).

Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities(reconciled below) was $538.3million for the fourth quarter of 2013,  up 18%  compared to  $456.9  million for the same period in 2012.

E&P Segment–  Operating income from the company’s E&P segment (reconciled below) was $227.7million for the fourth quarter of 2013,  compared to $198.5million for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to higher production volumes,partially offset by slightly lowerrealized natural gas prices andincreased operating costs and expenses from higher activity levels.

Gas and oil production totaled 176.6 Bcfe in the fourth quarter of 2013, up 18% from 149.9 Bcfe in the fourth quarter of 2012, and included 123.2 Bcf from the Fayetteville Shale, compared to125.1 Bcf in the fourth quarter of 2012.  Gas production from the Marcellus Shale was 48.5 Bcf in the fourth quarter of 2013,  more than double its production of19.3 Bcf in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Including the effect of hedges, Southwestern’s average realized gas price in the fourth quarter of 2013 was $3.68per Mcf, down slightly from $3.74per Mcf in the fourth quarter of 2012. The company’s commodity hedging activities increased its average gas price by $0.53per Mcf during the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to an increase of $0.78per Mcf during the same period in 2012. As of February 24, 2014,  the company had approximately 456Bcf of its 2014 forecasted gas production hedged at an average price of $4.34per Mcf and approximately 120 Bcf of its 2015 forecasted gas production hedged at an average price of $4.40 per Mcf.As of February 24, 2014, the company had protected approximately 249Bcf of its 2014 expected gas production from the potential of widening basis differentials through hedging activities and sales

arrangements at an average basis differential to NYMEX gas prices of approximately ($0.08) per Mcf.

The company typically sells its natural gas at a discount to NYMEX settlement prices. This discount includes a basis differential, third-party transportation charges and fuel charges. Disregarding the impact of hedges, the company’s average price received for its gas production during the fourth quarter of 2013 was approximately $0.45per Mcf lower than average NYMEX settlement prices, compared to approximately $0.44 per Mcf lower during the fourth quarter of 2012.  

Lease operating expenses per unit of production for the company’s E&P segment were $0.89per Mcfe in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $0.81 per Mcfe in the fourth quarter of 2012.  The increase was primarily due to increased third-party compression and gathering costs in the Marcellus Shaledue to higher activity levels.

General and administrative expenses per unit of production were $0.26 per Mcfe in the fourth quarter of 2013,  compared to $0.25 per Mcfe in the fourth quarter of 2012, up slightly due to higher personnel costs.

Taxes other than income taxes were $0.11per Mcfe in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $0.09per Mcfe in the fourth quarter of 2012. Taxes other than income taxes per Mcfe vary from period to period due to changes in severance and ad valorem taxes that result from the mix of the company’s production volumes and fluctuations in commodity prices.

The company’s full cost pool amortization rate decreased to $1.10per Mcfe in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $1.24 per Mcfe in the fourth quarter of 2012.  The amortization rate is impacted by the timing and amount of reserve additions and the costs associated with those additions, revisions of previous reserve estimates due to both price and well performance, write-downs that result from full cost ceiling tests, proceeds from the sale of properties that reduce the full cost pool and the levels of costs subject to amortization.The company cannot predict its future full cost pool amortization rate with accuracy due to the variability of each of the factors discussed above, as well as other factors.

Midstream Services– Operating income for the company’s Midstream Services segment, which is comprised of natural gas gathering and marketing activities, was $89.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2013, up 15% from $77.7 million for the same period in 2012.  The growth in operating income was primarily due to an increase in gas marketing margins and the increase in gathering activity from the company’s Fayetteville and Marcellus Shale properties, partially offset by increased operating costs and expensesdue to higher activity levels.  At December 31, 2013, the company’s midstream segment was gathering approximately 2.3 Bcf per day through 1,947 miles of gathering lines in the Fayetteville Shale and approximately 366MMcf per day from 90 miles of gathering lines in the Marcellus Shale. Gathering volumes, revenues and expenses for this segment are expected to grow over the next few years largely as a result of continued development of the company’s acreage in the Fayetteville Shale and Marcellus Shale and development activity being undertaken by other operators in those areas.

Full-Year 2013 Financial Results

For 2013, Southwestern reported adjusted net income of $703.9 million, or $2.00 per diluted share, when excluding a  $21.4 million ($12.6million net of taxes)  gain on derivative contracts, net of settlements, and other discrete income tax expense adjustments totaling $13.0 million. Including these adjustments, net income for 2013 was $703.5 million, or $2.00 per diluted share (reconciled below). For 2012, Southwestern reported adjusted net income of $486.7 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, when excluding a $1,939.7 million non-cash ceiling test impairment ($1,192.4 million net of taxes) of the company’s natural gas and oil properties resulting from lower natural gas prices and a$2.2 million ($1.3million net of taxes)  loss on derivative contracts, net of settlements. Including these adjustments, Southwestern reported a net loss of $707.1 million, or $2.03 per diluted share, in 2012 (reconciled below).

Net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities (reconciled below) was approximately $2.0billion in 2013,  up 24%  compared to  $1.6  billion for the same period in 2012.  

E&P Segment–  Operating income from the company’s E&P segment (reconciled below) was $878.7 million in 2013,up 62%  compared to $543.5 million in 2012.  The increase was primarily due to higher production volumesand higher realized natural gas prices, partially offset by higher operating costs and expenses due to increased activity levels.

Gas and oil production was 656.8 Bcfe in 2013, up 16% compared to 565.0 Bcfe in 2012, and included 486.0 Bcf from the company’s Fayetteville Shale division, up from 485.5 Bcf in 2012. Production from the Marcellus Shale was 150.6 Bcf in 2013,  more than double its production of 53.6 Bcf in 2012.

Southwestern’s average realized gas price was $3.65 per Mcf, including the effect of hedges, in 2013 compared to $3.44 per Mcf in 2012. The company’s hedging activities increased the average gas price realized in 2013 by $0.48 per Mcf, compared to anincrease of $1.10 per Mcf in 2012. Disregarding the impact of hedges, the average price received for the company’s gas production during 2013 was approximately $0.48per Mcf lower than average NYMEX settlement prices, compared to approximately $0.45per Mcf lower than NYMEX settlement prices in 2012.  For 2014,  the company expectsits total gas sales discount to NYMEX to range from $0.55 to $0.60 per Mcf.

Lease operating expenses for the company’s E&P segment were $0.86 per Mcfe in 2013,  up from $0.80 per Mcfe in 2012.  The increase was primarily due to higherthird-party gathering costsin the Marcellus Shaledue to higher activity levels, offset slightly by a decrease in salt water disposal costs in the Fayetteville Shale.

General and administrative expenses were $0.24 per Mcfe in 2013,  down from $0.26 per Mcfe in 2012.  

Taxes other than income taxes were $0.10 per Mcfein 2013 and 2012.

The company’s full cost pool amortization rate decreased to $1.08per Mcfe in 2013, compared to $1.31 per Mcfe in 2012.

Midstream Services– Operating income for the company’s midstream activities was $325.4million in 2013,  up 11%  compared to $294.3 million in 2012.  The growth in operating income was primarily due to an increase in gas marketing margins and the increase in gathering activity from the company’s Fayetteville and Marcellus Shale properties, partially offset by increased operating costs and expenses due to higher activity levels.

Capital Structure and Investments – At December 31, 2013, the company had approximately $2.0 billion in long-term debt and its long-term debt-to-total capitalization ratio was35%.  On December 16, 2013, the company expanded its revolving credit facility to a borrowing capacity of $2.0 billion, which can be increased by $500 million in the future upon the agreement of the company and participating lenders. The company’s revolving credit facility has a maturity date of December 14, 2018 with options for two one-year extensions with the approval of participating lenders. At December 31, 2013, the company had approximately $283 million borrowed on its revolving credit facility at an interest rate 150 basis points over the London Interbank Offered Rate, and had cash and cash equivalents of $23 million.

In 2013, Southwestern’s capital investments totaledapproximately  $2.2billion, compared to  $2.1 billion in 2012,  and included $2.1billion forits E&P segment, $158million for its Midstream Services segment and $25million for corporate and other purposes.  

2013 Gas and Oil Reservesand Operational Review

Southwestern’s estimated proved gas and oil reserves increased by 74% toapproximately 6,976 Bcfe at December 31, 2013,  compared to 4,018 Bcfe at the end of 2012.  The significant increase in reserves in 2013 was primarily due to the company’s successful development drilling programs in the Fayetteville and Marcellus Shales and a  higher natural gas price environment compared to 2012.  The average prices utilized to value the company’s estimated proved natural gas and oil reserves at December 31, 2013 were $3.67 per MMBtu for natural gas and $93.42 per barrel for oil, compared to $2.76 per MMBtu for natural gas and $91.21 per barrel for oil at December 31, 2012.  Approximately 100% of the company’s estimated proved reserves were natural gas and 61% were classified as proved developed at year-end 2013, compared to 100% and 80%, respectively, at year-end 2012.

The net increase in reserves included reserve additions of 2,087 Bcf, upward price revisions of 191 Bcf, 16 Bcf of upward revisions due to well performance, and production of 486 Bcf.  The average gross proved reserves for the company’s undeveloped wells included in its2013year-end reserves was approximately 2.5Bcf per well, compared to 2.8 Bcf per well in 2012, as over 800 proven undeveloped locations with lower estimated ultimate recoveries were added in 2013 due to the higher gas price environment.

Southwestern’soperated horizontal wells had an average completed well cost of $2.4 million per well, average horizontal lateral length of 5,356feet and average time to drill to total depth of 6.2 days from re-entry to re-entry in 2013. This compares to an average completed operated well cost of $2.5 million per well, average horizontal lateral length of 4,833 feet and average time to drill to total depth of 6.7 days from re-entry to re-entry in 2012.

Southwestern placed 414 operated wells on production during 2013with average initial production rates of 4,041Mcf per day, compared to 493 operated wells with average initial production rates of 3,629 Mcf per day in 2012. The increase in initial production rates in 2013 was primarily due to longer lateral lengths, improved well bore placement and further refined completion and flowback techniques. During 2013,  the company placed 91operated wells on production with initial production rates that exceeded 5,000 Mcf per day, compared to 60 wells in 2012. Of those 91 wells, 60 wells exceeded 6,000 Mcf per day. Nine of the company’s ten highest initial production rate wells in the history of the Fayetteville Shale were drilled and placed on production during the third and fourth quarters of 2013.

During the fourthquarter of 2013, the company’s horizontal wells had an average completed well cost of $2.6million per well, average horizontal lateral length of 5,976feet and average time to drill to total depth of 6.9days from re-entry to re-entry. This compares to an average horizontal lateral length of 5,490 feet and average time to drill to total depth of 6.5 days from re-entry to re-entry for an average completed well cost of $2.6 million per well in the third quarter of 2013.  In the fourth quarter of 2013, the company had 25operated wells placed on production which had average times to drill to total depth of 5 days or less from re-entry to re-entry. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2013, the company had 410wells drilled to total depth in 5 days or less from re-entry to re-entry in the Fayetteville Shale.  

In the fourth quarter of 2013, Southwestern placed on production its three highest initial production rate wells since the inception of its drilling program in the Fayetteville Shale. The company’s Ledbetter 07-16 13-14H, 14-14H and 15-14H wells located in Conway County achieved peak 24-hour production rates of 12,173,  11,919 and 12,207 Mcf per day, respectively. The company’s wells placed on production during the fourth quarter of 2013 averaged initial production rates of 4,877Mcf per day. Results from the company’s drilling activities since the first quarter of 2007 are shown below.

Note: Results as of December 31, 2013. 

(1) The significant increase in the average initial production rate for the fourth quarter of 2008 and the subsequent decrease for the first quarter of 2009 is primarily due to an operational delay of the Boardwalk Pipeline. 

(2) In the first quarter of 2010, the company’s results were impacted by the shift of all wells to “green completions” and the mix of wells, as a large percentage of wells were placed on production in the shallower northern and far eastern borders of the company’s acreage.

At December 31, 2013,  Southwestern held leases for approximately 905,684net acres in the Fayetteville Shale area, compared to approximately 913,502 net acres at year-end 2012.In 2014,  Southwestern plans to invest approximately $900million in the Fayetteville Shale and drill approximately 460 to 470gross horizontal wells, allof which will be operated by the company.

Marcellus Shale–  In 2013,  Southwestern invested $872 million in the Marcellus Shale,  which included $676 million to spud 108 operated wells.  Total capital investments in the Marcellus Shale during 2013 also included$111 million for the acquisition of properties, $9 million for seismic and $76 million in facilities, capitalized costs and other expenses.

Southwestern’s net gas production from the Marcellus Shale was 150.6 Bcf in 2013, up 181% from 53.6 Bcf in 2012. Gross operated production in the Marcellus Shale wasapproximately 698 MMcf per day at the end of 2013compared to approximately 300 MMcf per day at the end of 2012. During 2013,  the company placed 8 operated wells on production with 24-hour production rates that exceeded 10,000 Mcf per day, compared to 4 wells in 2012.

Southwestern’soperated horizontal wells had an average completed well cost of $7.0 million per well, average horizontal lateral length of 4,982 feet and an average of 18 fracture stimulation stages in 2013. This compares to an average completed operated well cost of $6.1 million per well, average horizontal lateral length of 4,070 feet and an average of 12 fracture stimulation stages in 2012.

As of December 31, 2013,  Southwestern had spud 269 operated wells, 172 of which were on production and 77 were in progress.  Of the 171 operated horizontal wells on production, 83were located in Bradford County, 14 were located in Lycoming County and 74 were located in Susquehanna County. Of the 77wells in progress, 41were either waiting on completion or waiting to be placed to sales, including 11  in Bradford County, 2in Lycoming County and 28 in Susquehanna County.

A notable well placed on production during the fourth quarter of 2013 was the company’s Seamen 2H horizontal well, located in northern Susquehanna County, which was placed on production in November and reached a peak 24-hour initial production rate of 32.2MMcf of gas per day. This well had a lateral length of 6,194 feet with 20 stages stimulated and flowed up casing.Results from the company’s drilling activities since the third quarter of 2010 are shown below.

At December 31, 2013,  Southwestern held leases for approximately 292,446 net acres in the Marcellus Shale area, compared to approximately 176,298net acres at year-end 2012.In 2014, Southwestern plans to invest approximately $760 million in the Marcellus Shale and expects to participate in a total of 80 to 85 gross operated wells in 2014.

Ark-La-Tex –In 2013,  Southwestern invested $7 million in its Ark-La-Tex division. Net production from these assets was 18 Bcfe in 2013, compared to 26 Bcfe in 2012, and total proved net reserves were approximately 216 Bcfe at December 31, 2013, compared to 213 Bcfe at year-end 2012.  In 2014,  the company expects to invest approximately $7million in itsArk-La-Tex program.

New Ventures–As of December 31, 2013,  Southwestern held 3,972,732net undeveloped acres in connection with its New Ventures prospects, of which 2,518,518 net acres were located in New Brunswick, Canada. This compares to 3,819,128net undeveloped acres held at year-end 2012.  

Southwestern has459,321net acres targeting the Lower Smackover Brown Dense formation, an unconventional liquids rich play that ranges in vertical depths from 8,000 to 11,000 feet and appears to be laterally extensive over a large area ranging in thickness from 300 to 550 feet, located in southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana.  

The company has drilled 13 operated wells in the play area to date, of which 3 wells are expected to payout the drilling and completion investments.  One of those wells, the Sharp 22-22-1 #1 vertical well in Union Parish, Louisiana, achieved a peak 24-hour production rate of approximately 600 barrels of condensate and 1.3 MMcf per day and

is expected to have a high rate of return. It is currently shut-in waiting for a gas pipeline connection and is expected to be placed back on production in April 2014.

A total of five wells have been drilled since the Sharp well. Three of the wells,  the Hollis 27-22-3 #1, the McMahen 19-21 #1-7 and the Plum Creek 13-23-2 #1, were drilled from  9 to 58 miles away from the Sharp well to test different geologic concepts which, in turn, would help to answeracreage capture decisions in 2014 and 2015.  The Plum Creek well is still testing, but none of the wells have yet to reach peak 24-hour production rates of 100 barrels of oil per day. The company’s Milstead 15-22-1 #1 vertical well in Union Parish, located one mile north of the company’s Sharp well, was completed with 6 stages and is currently in the initial stages of being tested. Oil production in this well is mainly coming from the upper Brown Dense interval compared to the middle interval in the Sharp well and early flow back data indicates the oil rate is not increasing as fast as was seen the Sharp well. The company’s Plum Creek 23-22-1 #1 vertical well in Union Parish is planned to be completed with 6 stages in March.  In 2013, Southwestern invested $84 million in its Lower Smackover Brown Dense exploration program and currently plans to invest approximately $178 millionin 2014.

Southwestern has302,243 net acres in the Denver-Julesburg Basin in eastern Colorado and has drilled two test wells to test multiple intervals. The company will continue to test the Marmaton formationwith up to two additional wells in the first half of2014.

Excluding the company’s Lower Smackover Brown Dense activities, Southwestern invested $107 million in its New Ventures program in 2013 and currently plans to invest approximately $190millionin New Ventures in 2014.

Explanation and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company reportsits financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). However, management believes certain non-GAAP performance measures may provide financial statement users with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and the results of its peers and of prior periods. 

One such non-GAAP financial measure is net cash provided by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities. Management presents this measure because (i) it is accepted as an indicator of an oil and gas exploration and production company’s ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service or incur additional debt, (ii) changes in operating assets and liabilities relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements which the company may not control and (iii) changes in operating assets and liabilities may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred.

Additional non-GAAP financial measures the company may present from time to time are adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and its E&P segment operating income, all which exclude certain charges or amounts. Management presents these measures because (i) they are consistent with the manner in which the company’s performance is measured relative to the performance of its peers, (ii) these measures are more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts,

- MORE -

and (iii) charges or amounts excluded cannot be reasonably estimated and guidance provided by the company excludes information regarding these types of items. These adjusted amounts are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP.

See the reconciliations below of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company's reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The company believes that providing a measure of F&D costs is useful for investors as a means of evaluating a company’s cost to add proved reserves, on a per thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent basis.  These measures are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for the financial statements, including the notes thereto, contained in Southwestern’s Annual Report. Due to various factors, including timing differences, F&D costs do not necessarily reflect precisely the costs associated with particular reserves. For example, exploration costs may be recorded in periods prior to the periods in which related acquisitions and increases in reserves are recorded and development costs, including future development costs for proved undeveloped reserve additions, may be recorded in periods subsequent to the periods in which related increases in reserves are recorded. In addition, changes in commodity prices can affect the magnitude of recorded increases in reserves independent of the related costs of such increases.As a result of the foregoing factors and various factors that could materially affect the timing and amounts of future increases in reserves and the timing and amounts of future costs, including factors disclosed in Southwestern’s filings with the SEC, future F&D costs may differ materially from those set forth above. Further, the methods used by Southwestern to calculate its F&D costs may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures and, as a result, Southwestern’s F&D costs may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies.

Southwestern management will host a teleconference call on Friday, February 28,  2014at 10:00 a.m. EST to discuss its fourth quarter and year-end 2013 results.
