Exhibit 99.1

SOUTHWESTERN ENERGY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of Southwestern Energy Company (including its subsidiaries, collectively “Southwestern” or the “Company”) are presented to illustrate the effect of the sale of 100% of the equity in SWN Production (Arkansas), LLC and DeSoto Gathering Company, LLC, the Company’s subsidiaries that owned and operated its Fayetteville Shale exploration and production (“E&P”) and related midstream gathering assets located in Arkansas, (the Fayetteville Shale sale) on its historical financial position and operating results.  On December 3, 2018, the Company closed on the Fayetteville Shale sale and received approximately $1,650 million, which included preliminary purchase price adjustments of $215 million related to the net cash flows from the effective date to the closing date and certain other working capital adjustments.    Consequently, the Company will repurchase $900 million principal amount of certain of its outstanding senior notes, under existing tender offers, on December 4, 2018, with a portion of the Fayetteville Shale sale proceeds.

The Fayetteville Shale sale constituted a significant disposition for purposes of Item 2.01 of Form 8-K.  As a result, the Company prepared the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.  This divestiture does not qualify as a discontinued operation as it does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on Southwestern’s operations or financial results.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2018 has been prepared to give effect to the divestiture as if it had occurred on September 30, 2018.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 have been prepared to give effect to the divestiture as if it had occurred on January 1, 2017.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations included herein are for information purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the divestiture taken place on the respective dates assumed.    Actual results may differ significantly from those reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial statements for various reasons, including but not limited to, the differences between the assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and actual results.  The pro forma adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and the statements of operations included herein include the use of estimates and assumptions as described in the accompanying notes.  The pro forma adjustments are based on information available to the Company at the time these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared.  The Company believes its current estimates provide a reasonable basis of presenting the significant effects of the transaction.    However, the estimates and assumptions are subject to change as additional information becomes available.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements only include adjustments related to the Fayetteville Shale sale and the repurchase of certain of the Company’s outstanding senior notes with a portion of the proceeds received.    

This pro forma information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Southwestern and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on October 25, 2018 and March 1, 2018, respectively.

Statements of Operations

Historical”   represents the historical consolidated statements of operations of Southwestern Energy Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017.

(d)

Adjustments are to eliminate revenues and costs of the Company’s E&P and related midstream gathering operations associated with the Fayetteville Shale sale from the Company’s consolidated operations.  This includes the impact of marketing the production from the Fayetteville Shale by the Company’s marketing subsidiary as well as the impact of certain derivative positions included in the Fayetteville Shale sale agreement.  Any deferred income tax effects for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, were offset by a change in our valuation allowance.



(e)

Interest expense is adjusted to show the impact of the planned repurchase of $900 million of certain of the Company’s outstanding senior notes on January 1, 2017.  Any deferred income tax effects for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and year ended December 31, 2017, were offset by a change in our valuation allowance.
