SM Energy Company (the “
Company
”) is providing the following summary of earnings considerations that management believes will impact results for the third quarter of 2026. This summary is intended solely to provide information regarding preliminary, unaudited estimates of these factors. It is not comprehensive of all results for, or changes that have occurred during, the third quarter of 2026 and does not constitute an estimate of the Company’s third quarter 2026 earnings. In addition, this summary may not reflect all adjustments and charges required to fully account for changes in industry conditions, is preliminary in nature, and remains subject to completion of the Company’s financial reporting process for the third quarter of 2026.
The Company presents in this Item 2.02 certain information for the three months ended September 30, 2026, regarding its realized prices and commodity derivative activity.

Commodity Derivative Activity
For the third quarter of 2026, the Company anticipates a net derivative settlement loss of $207 million.
