Concentration of Credit Risk and Major Customers
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS:
CONSOL Energy primarily markets its thermal coal principally to electric utilities in the eastern United States. Substantially all revenues were generated from sales based in the United States for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. Less than 1% of the Company's revenues were generated from sales based in Canada for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. The Company has contractual relationships with certain coal exporters who distribute coal to international markets. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, approximately 29%, 31% and 16%, respectively, of the Company's coal revenues were derived from these exporters, in which the Company's coal was intended to be shipped to Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa.
