Delivering What We Promise
Joint venture partner
Joint ventures with BG Group position EXCO for dramatic upstream
and midstream growth
Combined JV’s netted $1.8 billion of cash and $550 million carry on future drilling through
sale of 50% in all production, acreage and associated midstream assets in JV areas
Asset sales
Closed ~$1.1 billion in additional divestitures during 2009
Debt reduction
(1)
Reduced debt by approximately $2.1 billion or ~67%
Increased liquidity to ~$1.2 billion
Shifted strategy
Strategic
shift
from
acquisition
focus
to
organic
growth
through
development
of
existing assets
Focus on core areas of our shale plays
All drilling and acreage additions in specific areas of the plays
Since
late
2008,
we
have
spud
more
than
100
wells
and
produced
over
100
Bcf
of
gross
natural gas to sales in the Haynesville shale
Recently added 47,600 net acres (23,800 net to EXCO) in the Shelby Trough; we believe a
majority of the acreage is comparable to our DeSoto
Parish position

Pro forma for $750 million bond issuance

Forward Looking Statements
This
presentation
contains
forward-looking
statements,
as
defined
in
Section
27A
of
the
Securities
Act
and
Section
21E
of
the
Securities
Exchange
Act
of
1934,
or
the
Exchange
Act.
These
forward-looking
statements relate to, among other things, the following:
our future financial and operating performance and results;
our business strategy;
market prices;
our future use of derivative financial instruments; and
our plans and forecasts.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events.
We use the words "may," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue," "intend," "plan," "budget" and other similar words to identify forward-looking statements. You should read statements that
contain these words carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of our financial condition and/or state other "forward-looking" information. We do not
undertake
any
obligation
to
update
or
revise
publicly
any
forward-looking
statements,
except
as
required
by
law.
These
statements
also
involve
risks
and
uncertainties
that
could
cause
our
actual
results
or
financial condition to materially differ from our expectations in this presentation, including, but not limited to:
fluctuations in prices of oil and natural gas;
imports of foreign oil and natural gas, including liquefied natural gas;
future capital requirements and availability of financing;
continued disruption of credit and capital markets;
estimates of reserves and economic assumptions;
geological concentration of our reserves;
risks associated with drilling and operating wells;
exploratory risks, including our Marcellus shale play in Appalachia and our Haynesville and Bossier shale plays in East Texas/North Louisiana;
risks associated with operation of natural gas pipelines and gathering systems;
discovery, acquisition, development and replacement of oil and natural gas reserves;
cash flow and liquidity;
timing and amount of future production of oil and natural gas;
availability of drilling and production equipment;
marketing of oil and natural gas;
developments in oil-producing and natural gas-producing countries;
title to our properties;
competition;
litigation;
general economic conditions, including costs associated with drilling and operation of our properties;
environmental or other governmental regulations, including legislation to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, legislation of derivative financial instruments, regulation of hydraulic fracture
stimulation and elimination of income tax incentives available to our industry;
receipt and collectibility
of amounts owed to us by purchasers of our production and counterparties to our derivative financial instruments;
decisions whether or not to enter into derivative financial instruments;
potential acts of terrorism;
actions of third party co-owners of interests in properties in which we also own an interest;
fluctuations in interest rates; and
our ability to effectively integrate companies and properties that we acquire..

Barclay’s September 2010
Forward Looking Statements (continued)
We believe that it is important to communicate our expectations of future performance to our investors.  However, events may occur in the future that we are unable to accurately predict, or over which we have no
control.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on a forward-looking statement.  When considering our forward-looking statements, keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in this
presentation, and the risk factors included in our Registration Statement on form S-3 with respect to the senior notes, our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Our
revenues,
operating
results,
financial
condition
and
ability
to
borrow
funds
or
obtain
additional
capital
depend
substantially
on
prevailing
prices
for
oil
and
natural
gas,
the
availability
of
capital
from
our
revolving
credit
facilities
and
liquidity
from
capital
markets.
Declines
in
oil
or
natural
gas
prices
may
materially
adversely
affect
our
financial
condition,
liquidity,
ability
to
obtain
financing
and
operating
results.
Lower
oil
or
natural gas prices also may reduce the amount of oil or natural gas that we can produce economically.  A decline in oil and/or natural gas prices could have a material adverse effect on the estimated value and
estimated
quantities
of
our
oil
and
natural
gas
reserves,
our
ability
to
fund
our
operations
and
our
financial
condition,
cash
flow,
results
of
operations
and
access
to
capital.
Historically,
oil
and
natural
gas
prices
and markets have been volatile, with prices fluctuating widely, and they are likely to continue to be volatile.
Effective January 1, 2010, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose not only "proved" reserves (i.e., quantities of oil
and
gas
that
are
estimated
to
be
recoverable
with
a
high
degree
of
confidence),
but
also
"probable"
reserves
(i.e.,
quantities
of
oil
and
gas
that
are
as
likely
as
not
to
be
recovered)
as
well
as
"possible"
reserves
(i.e.,
additional
quantities
of
oil
and
gas
that
might
be
recovered,
but
with
a
lower
probability
than
probable
reserves).
As
noted
above,
statements
of
reserves
are
only
estimates
and
may
not
correspond
to
the
ultimate quantities of oil and gas recovered. Any reserve estimates provided in this presentation that are not specifically designated as being estimates of proved reserves may include estimated reserves not
necessarily
calculated
in
accordance
with,
or
contemplated
by,
the
SEC's
latest
reserve
reporting
guidelines.
Investors
are
urged
to
consider
closely
the
disclosure
in
our
Registration
Statement
on
form
S-3
with
respect
to
the
senior
notes,
our
Annual
Report
on
Form
10-K
for
the
fiscal
year
ended
December
31,
2009,
