Key Details

• Filing date: May 6, 2026 (Form 8-K Item 2.02: Results of Operations and Financial Condition).
• Press release title: "SM Energy Reports First Quarter 2026 Results" (furnished as Exhibit 99.1).
• Webcast/conference call: May 7, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. MT / 10:00 a.m. ET; live and replay access via SM’s website and telephone dial-in.
• Per General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the furnished press release is not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act and is not automatically incorporated by reference into other filings.

Why It Matters

• Investors should review the press release and attend or replay the webcast to hear management’s discussion of quarterly earnings, revenues, production and guidance (if provided), which can affect near-term share performance.
• The filing being “furnished” (not “filed”) limits legal liability under Section 18 and means the release isn’t automatically incorporated into other SEC filings unless explicitly referenced.
