Forward guidance
Chord is updating its FY24 guidance to reflect the completion of the combination with Enerplus and remains on target with its 2024 plan. Chord expects to generate approximately $2.9B of Adjusted EBITDA and $1.2B of Adjusted Free Cash Flow on a pro forma basis in FY24, with a reinvestment rate of approximately 55%.
