APA Corp says Q3 net debt and free cash flow were below earlier expectations

Mixed earnings Written later 2.02

APA Corporation issued supplemental third-quarter 2025 information on October 8, 2025, saying net debt and free cash flow were both lower than it previously expected after substantial payments from the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation. The company paid $173 million in distributions to its non-controlling partner in Egypt during the quarter and curtailed some U.S. natural gas and natural gas liquids output because of weak or negative Waha hub prices. Because APA's free cash flow definition excludes working capital changes, the Egypt receipts do not raise free cash flow, and the full third-quarter results call is set for November 6.

  • Egypt partner distributions totaled $173 million in Q3, up from $126 million in Q1 and $91 million in Q2
  • APA curtailed about 20 MMcf/d of U.S. natural gas and 1,400 barrels per day of U.S. NGL production in Q3
  • Estimated net gain on oil and gas purchases and sales is $177 million before tax, including realized commodity derivative gains and losses
  • Third-quarter results conference call is set for Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. Central Time

The company also accelerated its cost-reduction program to $350 million in run-rate savings by 2026 and reduced net debt by more than $850 million during the quarter, which matters to shareholders because it bears on both earnings quality and balance-sheet strength.
