Appendix A: In-Depth Analysis of The Rice Assertions 20

 

EQT Has Conducted a Deep Dive Analysis We disagree with the Rice assertions The Rice Claims  After careful analysis, the Rice claims…    Ignore current market conditions Are built on a small subset of wells Neglect asset specific operational dynamics Fail to account for key well cost components   Lack a detailed plan for execution 21  Conversely, New EQT Management’s plan is transparent and achievable Laser-focused on cost reductions and operating efficiencies Unlocks free cash flow through initiatives that are already underway The Rice claim of $400 – $600 MM of annual incremental free cash flow is fundamentally flawed

Why Is Fresh and Produced Water Usage Important? 3 Critical implications for well costs and trickle-down effect on operations  The Rice publicized results are based on a small subset of  EQT produces ~70,000 bbls a day of produced water – ~$4.00/bbl PA Marcellus Completion Operations  Geographic proximity, physical water access, infrastructure Rice Claim 26 Produced Water Delivery ~35% ~$7.25/bbl Fresh Water Delivery ~55% ~$2.50/bbl ~10% wells utilizingfor completions Much cheaper from a capitalized D&C perspective Not practical across EQT’s larger geographic footprint the water has to go somewhere Any operator of these assets must move this water to disposal or frac operations Most cost-efficient treatment is recycling Not utilizing produced water negatively impacts operating costs and water handling costs govern EQT’s water usage mix EQT’s geographic footprint and produced water dynamics require an incremental ~$1.75/bbl or ~$70 / ft. vs. 100%-piped fresh water 100% pipeline-delivered fresh water EQT’s % Mix of Water Usage in the PA Marcellus Water usage and associated cost treatment must be considered when analyzing comparative well costs

Cautionary Statements EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT) EQT Plaza 625 Liberty Avenue, Suite 1700 Pittsburgh, PA 15222 Blake McLean – Senior Vice President, Investor Relations and Strategy – 412.395.3561 The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that a company anticipates as of a given date to be economically and legally producible and deliverable by application of development projects to known accumulations. We use certain terms in this presentation, such as “EUR” (estimated ultimate recovery) and total resource potential, that the SEC’s rules strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. We caution you that the SEC views such estimates as inherently unreliable and these estimates may be misleading to investors unless the investor is an expert in the natural gas industry. We also note that the SEC strictly prohibits us from aggregating proved, probable and possible (3P) reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category. Disclosures in this presentation contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts are forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this presentation specifically include the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and growth and anticipated financial and operational performance of EQT Corporation and its subsidiaries (EQT), including guidance regarding EQT’s strategy to develop its reserves; drilling plans and programs (including the number, type, depth, spacing, lateral lengths, and locations of wells to be drilled, number of frac crews and number and type of rigs); projected natural gas prices, liquids production, liquids price impact, basis, premium and average differential; total resource potential, reserves and EUR; projected EQT and third party production sales volumes and growth rates (including liquids sales volumes and growth rates); internal rate of return (IRR), compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and expected after-tax returns per well; technology (including drilling and completion techniques); projected drilling and completions (D&C) costs, other well costs, unit costs and G&A expenses; projected reductions in expenses and capital and well costs and projected frac stage lengths, projected market mix; infrastructure programs; the cost, capacity, and timing of regulatory approvals; acquisition transactions; the projected capital efficiency savings and other operating efficiencies associated with EQT’s shift to a steady operating cadence and EQT’s ability to achieve such efficiencies; EQT’s ability to mitigate curtailments; the projected capital efficiency savings and other operating efficiencies and synergies resulting from EQT’s acquisition of Rice Energy Inc. (Rice); EQT’s ability to achieve the anticipated synergies and efficiencies from its acquisition of Rice; monetization transactions, including asset sales, joint ventures or other transactions involving EQT’s assets; EQT’s ability to achieve the anticipated operational, financial and strategic benefits of the spin-off of Equitrans Midstream Corporation (ETRN) from EQT; the timing and structure of any dispositions of EQT's 19.9% retained common stock of ETRN and EQT's planned use of the proceeds from any such dispositions; the amount and timing of any repurchases of EQT’s common stock, including whether EQT will institute a share repurchase program; dividend amounts and rates; projected cash flows, including the ability to fund the 2019 drilling program through cash from operations; projected Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, net marketing services revenue, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, including EQT’s ownership of 19.9% of ETRN’s common stock; projected capital contributions and capital expenditures; projected Adjusted EBITDA; liquidity and financing requirements, including funding sources and availability; EQT’s ability to maintain or improve its credit ratings, leverage levels and financial profile; potential future impairments of EQT’s assets; EQT’s hedging strategy; the effects of government regulation and litigation; and tax position and the expected impact of changes to tax laws. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. EQT has based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events. While EQT considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond EQT’s control. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of EQT’s business and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of EQT’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC and as updated by any subsequent Form 10-Qs. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and EQT does not intend to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 38

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow As used in this presentation, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow is defined as EQT’s net cash provided by operating activities less changes in other assets and liabilities plus dividends received from Equitrans Midstream Corporation (ETRN). Free Cash Flow is defined as EQT’s net cash provided by operating activities less changes in other assets and liabilities, less accrual-based capital expenditures. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Free Cash Flow plus dividends received from ETRN. Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of EQT’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, lenders and ratings agencies use to assess EQT’s liquidity. EQT believes that Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow provide useful information to management and investors in assessing the impact of EQT’s ability to generate cash flow in excess of capital requirements and return cash to shareholders. Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EQT is unable to project net cash provided by operating activities for any of the forecasted periods presented and has not provided a related reconciliation of projected Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to projected net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, because net cash provided by operating activities includes the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities. Changes in operating assets and liabilities relate to the timing of EQT’s cash receipts and disbursements that may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred, and EQT is unable to project these timing differences with any reasonable degree of accuracy to a specific day in advance of finalizing its financial results for the applicable period. 39

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Adjusted EBITDA As used in this presentation, Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation depletion and amortization expense, amortization of intangible assets, long-lived asset and goodwill impairments, lease impairments and expirations, loss (gain) on derivatives not designated as hedges, net cash settlements received (paid) on derivatives not designated as hedges, premiums received (paid) for derivatives that settled during the period, and unrealized loss (gain) on EQT’s investment in ETRN. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and external users of EQT’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, lenders and ratings agencies use to assess EQT’s earnings trends. EQT believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an important measure used by EQT’s management and investors in evaluating period-over-period comparisons of earnings trends. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to EQT’s net income presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement and other items that affect the comparability of results and are not trends in the ongoing business. Management utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate earnings trends because the measure reflects only the impact of settled derivative contracts and thus the income from natural gas is not impacted by the often-volatile fluctuations in fair value of derivatives prior to settlement. EQT has not provided projected net income or a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to projected net income, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, because EQT does not provide guidance with respect to depletion and amortization expense beyond the current year, income tax expense, the revenue impact of changes in the projected fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement or unrealized gains and losses on its investments in equity securities. EQT does not provide projections for its year-end reserves, as they are impacted by SEC prescribed pricing that is not known until the end of a given year, along with other factors such as drilling and completion costs in future periods. As reserves are a key component of the depletion calculation, EQT cannot project depletion and amortization expense within a reasonable range. Therefore, projected net income and a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA to projected net income, are not available without unreasonable effort. 40
