- The company has successfully integrated the Maverick acquisition and is on track to close the Canvas Energy acquisition, enhancing operational leverage and cash flow.
- DEC has demonstrated disciplined capital allocation, reducing debt by $203 million and returning $146 million to shareholders in the first three quarters of 2025.
- The company is moving its primary equity listing to the New York Stock Exchange, which is expected to enhance trading liquidity and increase exposure to US investors.
