**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- **Financial Performance**: 
  - Q2 net debt $7.8B (down $350M QoQ), targeting $7.5B by year-end. Medium-term target: $5B net debt (~3x free cash flow at $2.75/MMBtu).
  - Free cash flow generation: ~$3B/year at $2.75/MMBtu, enabling debt reduction and growth reinvestment.
  - Growth CapEx: ~$1B over next several years, spaced out from 2026-2028, with initial spending on MVP Boost compression.
- **Hedging Strategy**: Added costless collars for Dec-Feb 2025 at $4.00 floor/$7.00 ceiling, covering 10% of production. Focus on opportunistic, index-plus contracts rather than broad hedging.
- **Macro Outlook**: Bullish on natural gas, citing slowing associated gas growth, LNG export expansion (30 Bcf/d by 2030), and delayed Qatar capacity. Near-term storage surplus (~6% above normal) expected to self-correct.
