Specific operational synergies include: asset optimization, directing capital to high-return manufacturing-style projects and utilizing shared infrastructure systems. The present value of corporate and operational synergies is expected to exceed $2 billion.
• The acquisition is expected to be accretive in the first year to Concho's key per-share metrics, including net asset value, earnings, cash flow and debt-adjusted growth. In addition, the transaction is expected to enhance Concho's three-year outlook for annualized production growth on a capital program within cash flow from operations.
