Executive Summary for 2023
Because our production is approximately 69% natural gas, natural gas prices are generally the primary variable in our financial results. Over the last few years, New York Mercantile Exchange ("NYMEX") natural gas prices have been volatile. Since the beginning of 2021, the monthly close for natural gas prices has been as low as $1.99 per Mmbtu and as high as $9.35 per Mmbtu. The prices we receive for all our products are largely based on current market prices which are beyond our control but are managed through diversity in our sales agreements combined with an active commodity price hedging program. Currently, our focus is on generating free cash flow through controlling costs and operational efficiencies, while strengthening our balance sheet and returning free cash flow to stockholders. During 2023, we:
realized cash flow from operating activities of $977.9 million;
realized an improvement in our debt metrics from year-end 2022;
made quarterly dividend payments in each quarter for a total distribution of $77.2 million;
repurchased approximately $19.0 million of our common stock;
