23RD ANNUAL ENERGY SUMMIT
Vail, Colorado | February 13, 2018
Nick Dell’Osso
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer
Exhibit 99.1
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Forward-looking statements are statements other than statements of historical fact. They include statements that give our current expectations, guidance or forecasts of
future events, production and well connection forecasts, estimates of operating costs, anticipated capital and operational efficiencies, planned development drilling and expected
drilling cost reductions, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, the timing of anticipated asset sales and proceeds to be received therefrom, projected cash
flow and liquidity, our ability to enhance our cash flow and financial flexibility, plans and objectives for future operations, and the assumptions on which such statements are
based. Although we believe the expectations and forecasts reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove to have been
correct. They can be affected by inaccurate or changed assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include those described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K and
any updates to those factors set forth in Chesapeake‟s subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K (available at http://www.chk.com/investors/
sec-filings). These risk factors include: the volatility of oil, natural gas and NGL prices; the limitations our level of indebtedness may have on our financial flexibility; our inability
to access the capital markets on favorable terms; the availability of cash flows from operations and other funds to finance reserve replacement costs or satisfy our debt
obligations; our credit rating requiring us to post more collateral under certain commercial arrangements; write-downs of our oil and natural gas asset carrying values due to low
commodity prices; our ability to replace reserves and sustain production; uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of oil, natural gas and NGL reserves and projecting
future rates of production and the amount and timing of development expenditures; our ability to generate profits or achieve targeted results in drilling and well operations;
leasehold terms expiring before production can be established; commodity derivative activities resulting in lower prices real ized on oil, natural gas and NGL sales; the need to
secure derivative liabilities and the inability of counterparties to satisfy their obligations; adverse developments or losses from pending or future litigation and regulatory
proceedings, including royalty claims; charges incurred in response to market conditions and in connection with our ongoing actions to reduce financial leverage and complexity;
drilling and operating risks and resulting liabilities; effects of environmental protection laws and regulation on our business; legislative and regulatory initiatives further regulating
hydraulic fracturing; our need to secure adequate supplies of water for our drilling operations and to dispose of or recycle the water used; impacts of potential legislative and
regulatory actions addressing climate change; federal and state tax proposals affecting our industry; potential OTC derivatives regulation limiting our ability to hedge against
commodity price fluctuations; competition in the oil and gas exploration and production industry; a deterioration in general economic, business or industry conditions; negative
public perceptions of our industry; limited control over properties we do not operate; pipeline and gathering system capacity constraints and transportation interruptions; terrorist
activities and/or cyber-attacks adversely impacting our operations; potential challenges by SSE‟s former creditors of our spin-off of in connection with SSE‟s recently completed
bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code; an interruption in operations at our headquarters due to a catastrophic event; the continuation of suspended
dividend payments on our common stock; the effectiveness of our remediation plan for a material weakness; certain anti-takeover provisions that affect shareholder rights; and
our inability to increase or maintain our liquidity through debt repurchases, capital exchanges, asset sales, joint ventures, farmouts or other means.
In addition, disclosures concerning the estimated contribution of derivative contracts to our future results of operations are based upon market information as of a specific date.
These market prices are subject to significant volatility. Our production forecasts are also dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates
from existing wells and the outcome of future drilling activity. Expected asset sales may not be completed in the time frame anticipated or at all. We caution you not to place
undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation, and we undertake no obligation to update any of the information
provided in this presentation, except as required by applicable law. In addition, this presentation contains time-sensitive information that reflects management‟s best judgment
only as of the date of this presentation.
We use certain terms in this presentation such as “Resource Potential,” “Net Reserves” and similar terms that the SEC‟s guide lines strictly prohibit us from including in filings
with the SEC. These terms include reserves with substantially less certainty, and no discount or other adjustment is included in the presentation of such reserve numbers. U.S.
investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, File No. 1-13726 and in our other filings with the SEC, available
from us at 6100 North Western Avenue, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73118. These forms can also be obtained from the SEC by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
