CNX Gas Reports Net Income of $35.5 Million

CNX Gas Reports Record Quarterly Production of 24.8 Bcf

2009 Production Guidance Raised to 92 Bcf

Marcellus Shale Success Continues

Pittsburgh, PA (October 22, 2009) – CNX Gas Corporation (NYSE: CXG) reported net income attributable to CNX Gas shareholders of $35.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. This compares to $67.4 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Production was 24.8 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or 269 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. This was another quarterly production record, and 26% higher than the 19.7 Bcf, or 214 MMcf per day, for the year-ago quarter. It was also 10% higher than the 22.5 Bcf produced in the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

“We are pleased to announce that CNX Gas set another quarterly production record, and did it safely,” said J. Brett Harvey, chairman and chief executive officer. “With our increasing Virginia coalbed methane production and our Marcellus Shale success, we are again raising our 2009 production guidance. If you recall, our original 2009 production guidance was 85 Bcf. In July, we raised it to 89 Bcf. And now, we’ve raised it by another 3 Bcf, to 92 Bcf. If achieved, this would represent a 20% increase in production from the 76.6 Bcf we produced in 2008. While our quarterly earnings are lower because of weak spot gas prices, we’ve been successful in lowering unit costs.

“CNX Gas is growing production faster than most of the competition, is reporting better earnings than most of the competition, and is continuing to invest in its significant growth prospects, especially in coalbed methane and the Marcellus Shale. I believe that investors will increasingly recognize CNX Gas as a core holding for their energy portfolios.”

Unit lifting costs were lower, in part, because of fewer workovers conducted in the just-ended quarter. Water volumes from CBM production were down, as were water handling rates. Lower water volumes also contributed to lower road maintenance costs. Higher gas production volumes also helped to lower unit lifting costs.

Unit production taxes were much lower in the just-ended quarter because they are calculated on average realized price before the effect of hedging. Due to market conditions, these prices were significantly lower in the just-ended quarter.

Unit production DD&A was higher in the just-ended quarter as more plant assets in Northern Appalachia were placed into service.

Unit gathering operating costs were lower partly as the result of turn backs of rented compressors, as the pace of drilling slowed for low-pressure coalbed methane wells. Higher production volumes also helped to lower unit costs.

 

- 2 -


Unit firm transportation costs have increased due to acquiring additional capacity in the Northern Appalachian region in anticipation of greater production volumes.

In the just-ended quarter, CNX Gas had (pre-tax) dry hole expense of $4.9 million. Of this, $2.3 million was related to a non-operated dry hole targeting the Trenton Black River formation in Upstate New York. An additional $2.4 million was attributable to the surrender of a CBM lease in Virginia on the fringe of the company’s core CBM position.

Also in the just-ended quarter, CNX Gas had (pre-tax) other corporate expenses of $7.2 million, versus $0.2 million in the year-earlier quarter. The expenses were higher because the September 2008 quarter showed a reversal of stock-based compensation due to a declining stock price. The performance share program was converted into the CONSOL Energy restricted stock program. The September 2009 quarter includes $2.7 million of allocated expense from CONSOL Energy related to stock-based compensation expense.

Safety

During the third quarter, CNX Gas employees worked another quarter without incurring a lost time accident. This raises the cumulative time worked by employees without a lost time incident to over 3.9 million hours.

Central Appalachia Operations

Total production in Central Appalachia, which includes Virginia CBM and Chattanooga Shale, was 18.7 Bcf in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. This was 2.2 Bcf higher than the 16.5 Bcf produced in the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The Central Appalachia September run rate was 207 MMcf per day.

CNX Gas drilled 45 vertical frac wells in its Virginia CBM Operations during the third quarter and 163 wells in the first nine months. CNX Gas expects to drill 175 wells in Virginia in 2009.

CNX Gas continues to be encouraged by its early Chattanooga Shale results. The company has been pursuing a delineation program across its position, which now stands at 268,000 mostly contiguous acres. One well, which came online on October 21, 2008, has produced over 140 MMcf, and is now producing at a daily rate of 861 Mcf, plus a few barrels of oil. A four-stage nitrogen foam frac was employed on this well. CNX Gas continues to acquire acreage in the Chattanooga Shale.

Northern Appalachia Operations

Total production in Northern Appalachia, which includes Mountaineer CBM, Nittany CBM, and Marcellus Shale, was 6.0 Bcf in the quarter ended September 30, 2009. This was 2.9 Bcf more, or almost double, the 3.1 Bcf produced in the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The Northern Appalachia September run rate was 66 MMcf per day.

Of this Northern Appalachian production, 1.5 Bcf was from the Marcellus Shale in the just-ended quarter, versus zero in the same quarter last year.

No coalbed methane wells were drilled in Northern Appalachia in the just-ended quarter.

In the Marcellus Shale, CNX Gas drilled, completed, and brought three more horizontal wells online, raising the total to eleven. The peak daily production from well CNX#2B was 3.0 MMcf and from well GH34CV was 2.5 MMcf. The latest well to come online, GH15CV, has not yet reached its peak.

The latest well drilled, NV20CV, is located in northern Greene County, Pa. It is the first horizontal Marcellus Shale well that CNX Gas has drilled outside of its original Greene Hill area, in central Greene County. It is also the first in a set of six wells to be drilled on a single pad. NV20CV is currently awaiting hydraulic fracturing.

The cost of the horizontal wells drilled during this quarter averaged less than $3.5 million per well.

The company continues to be excited about its success in the Marcellus Shale play and, as a result, has increased its capital for lease and land acquisition.

The following table summarizes results since the inception of the company’s horizontal Marcellus Shale program. CNX Gas has a 100% working interest and a 100% net revenue interest in all of these wells.

Financial Update

The company continues to monitor and evaluate capital spending to ensure adequate liquidity and to preserve options for possible external investment. With regard to capital, CNX Gas intends to spend largely within its net cash from operating activities for the fourth quarter of 2009. Capital expenditures were $59.3 million during the third quarter.

The company ended the quarter with $73.1 million drawn on its $200 million credit facility. This is down $7.9 million from June 30, 2009. Cash on hand was $1.0 million.

CNX Gas also has outstanding letters of credit of $14.9 million. Total funds available are $113.0 million.

Return on capital employed for the quarter was 9.3%, on an after tax basis.

Guidance

The 2009 production guidance is raised by 3 Bcf to 92 Bcf. This guidance assumes no fourth quarter production curtailments due to above normal national storage levels or other factors. If the 92 Bcf is achieved, it means that CNX Gas will have produced 20% more than the 76.6 Bcf produced in 2008.

For 2010, CNX Gas is re-instating production guidance of 100 Bcf. The company expects to be able to achieve this production with one horizontal rig drilling in the Marcellus Shale, the continued drilling of CBM frac wells in Virginia, and some ancillary drilling. While 2010 plans are currently being formulated, the company views this as a realistic starting point.

CNX Gas locked in the pricing on more of its production for the 2009 fourth quarter during the just-ended quarter. Total hedged production in the 2009 fourth quarter is 15.25 Bcf, at an average price of $7.90 per Mcf. Some hedges were also added for 2011.

Outlook Summary

The United States economy may have bottomed in the third quarter. Due to the significant fiscal spending and relaxed monetary policy, a modest U.S. recovery appears likely in 2010. Depending on the pace and sustainability of the recovery, we believe tremendous opportunities exist for our natural gas business.

The U.S. natural gas market has shown signs of stability because the total rig count appears to have bottomed at approximately 700 rigs. The expectations of lower natural gas production, coupled with expectations of increased demand due to an improving economy and a return to normal weather patterns, has led to an improvement in pricing. With its low costs and rising production volumes, CNX Gas should benefit from improved pricing.

Definition: EBIT is defined as earnings (excluding cumulative effect of accounting change) before deducting net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) and income taxes. EBITDA is defined as earnings (excluding cumulative effect of accounting change) before deducting net interest expense (interest expense less interest income), income taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization. Although EBIT and EBITDA are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, management believes that they are useful to an investor in evaluating CNX Gas because they are widely used to evaluate a company’s operating performance before debt expense and its cash flow. EBIT and EBITDA do not purport to represent cash generated by operating activities and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, because all companies do not calculate EBIT and EBITDA identically, the presentation here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Although ROCE is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, management believes that ROCE is a useful measure because it indicates the return on all capital, which includes equity and debt, employed in the business. Management believes that ROCE is an additional measure of efficiency when considered in conjunction with return on equity, which measures the return on only the shareholders’ equity component of total capital employed.
