NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. This Form 10-Q report should be read in conjunction with CONSOL Energy Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

All dollar amounts discussed in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts, and unless otherwise indicated.

Basis of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CONSOL Energy Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-02 - Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). The amendments in this update permit reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The amendments in this update apply to all reporting entities that hold (1) tax equity investments that meet the conditions for and elect to account for them using the proportional amortization method or (2) an investment in a low-income-housing tax credit (LIHTC) structure through a limited liability entity that is not accounted for using the proportional amortization method and to which certain LIHTC-specific guidance removed from Subtopic 323-740, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures—Income Taxes, has been applied. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, but does not expect this update to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The amendments in this update eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments in this update require that an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance in the three months ended March 31, 2023, and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 - Business Combinations (Topic 805). The amendments in this update apply to all entities that enter into a business combination within the scope of Subtopic 805-10, Business Combinations—Overall. The amendments in this update require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The amendments in this update do not affect the accounting for other assets or liabilities that may arise from revenue contracts with customers in accordance with Topic 606. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance in the three months ended March 31, 2023, and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive earnings per share are computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include additional shares from restricted stock units and performance share units, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding restricted stock units and performance share units were released, and that the proceeds from such activities, as applicable, were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period.

The table below sets forth the share-based awards that have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023	2022
Anti-Dilutive Restricted Stock Units	67,420	952,942
Anti-Dilutive Performance Share Units	1,854	94,904
	69,274	1,047,846

The computations for basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per share are as follows:

Earnings (Loss) per Share:
Basic	$	6.67	$	(0.13)
Dilutive	$	6.55	$	(0.13)

*During periods in which the Company incurs a net loss, diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal to basic weighted average shares outstanding because the effect of all equity awards would be anti-dilutive.

As of March 31, 2023, CONSOL Energy has 500,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, none of which are issued or outstanding.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the report classifications of the current period. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total assets, stockholders' equity, net income or cash flows from operating activities.

NOTE 2—REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS:

The following tables disaggregate CONSOL Energy's revenue from contracts with customers to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the Company's revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors:

Total Revenue from Contracts with Customers					$	536,170

Coal Revenue

The Company has disaggregated its coal revenue, derived from the PAMC and Itmann Mining Complex, between domestic and export revenues, as well as industrial, power generation and metallurgical markets. Domestic coal revenue tends to be derived from contracts that typically have a term of one year or longer, and the pricing is typically fixed. Historically, export coal revenue tended to be derived from spot or shorter-term contracts with pricing determined closer to the time of shipment or based on a market index; however, the Company has recently begun to secure several long-term export contracts with varying pricing arrangements. Coal revenue derived from the Itmann Mining Complex consists primarily of metallurgical coal sales, while coal revenue derived from the PAMC services all markets due to the nature of its coal quality characteristics.

CONSOL Energy's coal revenue is recognized when the performance obligation has been satisfied, and the corresponding transaction price has been determined. Generally, title passes when coal is loaded at the coal preparation facilities, at terminal locations or other customer destinations. The Company's coal contract revenue per ton is fixed and determinable based upon either fixed forward pricing or pricing derived from established indices and adjusted for nominal quality characteristics. Some coal contracts also contain positive electric power price-related adjustments, which represent market-driven price adjustments, wherein no additional value is exchanged, in addition to a fixed base price per ton. The Company’s coal contracts generally do not allow for retroactive adjustments to pricing after title to the coal has passed and typically do not have significant financing components.

The estimated transaction price from each of the Company's contracts is based on the total amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled under the contract. Included in the transaction price for certain coal supply contracts is the impact of variable consideration, including quality price adjustments, handling services and per ton price fluctuations based on certain coal sales price indices. The estimated transaction price for each contract is allocated to the Company's performance obligations based on relative stand-alone selling prices determined at contract inception. The Company has determined that each ton of coal represents a separate and distinct performance obligation. Some of the Company's contracts span multiple years and have annual pricing modifications, based upon market-driven or inflationary adjustments, where no additional value is exchanged.

12

While CONSOL Energy does, from time to time, experience costs of obtaining coal customer contracts with amortization periods greater than one year, those costs are generally immaterial. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any capitalized costs to obtain customer contracts on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has not recognized any amortization of previously existing capitalized costs of obtaining customer contracts. Further, the Company has not recognized any coal revenue in the current period that is not a result of current period performance.

Terminal Revenue

Terminal revenues are attributable to the Company's CONSOL Marine Terminal and include revenues earned from providing receipt and unloading of coal from rail cars, transporting coal from the receipt point to temporary storage or stockpile facilities located at the Terminal, stockpiling, blending, weighing, sampling, redelivery, and loading of coal onto vessels. Revenues for these services are earned and performance obligations are considered fulfilled as the services are performed.

The CONSOL Marine Terminal does not normally experience material costs of obtaining customer contracts with amortization periods greater than one year. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any capitalized costs to obtain customer contracts on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has not recognized any amortization of previously existing capitalized costs of obtaining Terminal customer contracts. Further, the Company has not recognized any revenue in the current period that is not a result of current period performance.

Freight Revenue

Some of CONSOL Energy's coal contracts require that the Company sell its coal at locations other than its coal preparation plants. The cost to transport the Company's coal to the ultimate sales point is passed through to the Company's customers and CONSOL Energy recognizes the freight revenue equal to the transportation costs when title of the coal passes to the customer.

Contract Balances

Contract assets, when present, are recorded separately from trade receivables in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reclassified to trade receivables as title passes to the customer and the Company's right to consideration becomes unconditional. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition and a customer's ability to perform its obligations. CONSOL Energy typically does not have material contract assets that are stated separately from trade receivables since the Company's performance obligations are satisfied as control of the goods or services passes to the customer, thereby granting the Company an unconditional right to receive consideration. Contract liabilities relate to consideration received in advance of the satisfaction of the Company's performance obligations. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue at the point in time when control of the goods passes to the customer, or over time when services are provided.

NOTE 5—INCOME TAXES:

The Company recorded its provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $41,593, or 15.3%, of earnings before income taxes, based on its annual estimated income tax rate adjusted for discrete items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the tax benefit for excess percentage depletion and foreign derived intangible income. These tax provision amounts also include discrete tax adjustments primarily related to equity compensation.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of ($3,522), or 44.2%, of earnings before income taxes was based on the Company's annual estimated income tax rate adjusted for discrete items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to discrete tax benefits related to equity compensation, as well as effective tax rate impacts of excess percentage depletion and foreign derived intangible income, partially offset by compensation.

On August 16, 2022, the President of the United States signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This legislation does not have a material impact on the Company's current financial statements.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and certain of its various states, as well as Canada and certain of its various provinces. The Company is subject to examination for the tax periods 2018 through 2022 for federal and state returns.

NOTE 6—CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS:

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company purchased $75,000 in marketable debt securities, primarily comprised of highly liquid U.S. Treasury securities. The investments are held in the custody of a financial institution. These securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and have maturity dates ranging from June 2023 through September 2023, and thus are classified as current assets.

NOTE 7—CREDIT LOSSES:

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company markets its coal to top-performing rail-served power plants in its core market areas and to industrial and metallurgical consumers in international markets. The Company also provides terminal services to facilitate the exporting of coal from both Company coal sales and third-party transactions. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the importance of the customer or market for future business and a customer's ability to perform its obligations. Trade receivable balances are monitored against approved credit terms. Credit terms are reviewed and adjusted as considered necessary based on changes to a customer's credit profile. If a customer's credit deteriorates, the Company may reduce credit risk exposure by reducing credit terms, obtaining letters of credit, obtaining credit insurance, or requiring pre-payment for shipments. Other non-trade contractual arrangements consist primarily of overriding royalty agreements and other financial arrangements between the Company and various counterparties.

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The Company's expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade and other accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on an aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company's monitoring activities include timely account reconciliations, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible.

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for changes to the assessment of anticipated payment, changes in economic conditions, current industry trends in the markets the Company serves, and changes in the financial health of the Company's counterparties.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected.

	Trade Receivables		Other Non-Trade Contractual Arrangements
Beginning Balance, December 31, 2022	$	1,731	$	7,051
Provision for expected credit losses	257		182
Ending Balance, March 31, 2023	$	1,988	$	7,233

NOTE 8—INVENTORIES:

Inventory components consist of the following:

	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Coal	$	31,846	$	11,315
Supplies	63,789		54,975
Total Inventories	$	95,635	$	66,290

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of coal inventories is determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Coal inventory costs include labor, supplies, equipment costs, operating overhead, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other related costs. The cost of supplies inventory is determined by the average cost method and includes operating and maintenance supplies to be used in the Company's coal operations.

NOTE 9—ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION:

At March 31, 2023, CONSOL Energy and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries are parties to a trade accounts receivable securitization facility with financial institutions for the sale on a continuous basis of eligible trade accounts receivable. In March 2020, the securitization facility was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date from August 30, 2021 to March 27, 2023. In July 2022, the securitization facility was again amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date to July 29, 2025.

Pursuant to the securitization facility, CONSOL Thermal Holdings LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, sells current and future trade receivables to CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. CONSOL Marine Terminals LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC sell and/or contribute current and future trade receivables (including receivables sold to CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC by CONSOL Thermal Holdings LLC) to CONSOL Funding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “SPV”). The SPV, in turn, pledges its interests in the receivables to PNC Bank, N.A., which either makes loans or issues letters of credit on behalf of the SPV. The maximum amount of advances and letters of credit outstanding under the securitization facility may not exceed $100,000.

Loans under the securitization facility accrue interest at a reserve-adjusted market index rate equal to the applicable term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Loans and letters of credit under the securitization facility also accrue a program fee and a letter of credit participation fee, respectively, ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum depending on the total net leverage ratio of CONSOL Energy. In addition, the SPV paid certain structuring fees to PNC Capital Markets LLC and pays other customary fees to the lenders, including a fee on unused commitments equal to 0.60% per annum.

At March 31, 2023, the Company's eligible accounts receivable yielded $42,022 of borrowing capacity. At March 31, 2023, the facility had no outstanding borrowings and $40,922 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving available borrowing capacity of $1,100. At December 31, 2022, the Company's eligible accounts receivable yielded $85,179 of borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2022, the facility had no outstanding borrowings and $83,465 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving available borrowing capacity of $1,714. Costs associated with the receivables facility totaled $413 and $275 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has not derecognized any receivables due to its continued involvement in the collections efforts.

NOTE 10—PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:

Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:

	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Plant and Equipment	$	3,359,934	$	3,330,755
Coal Properties and Surface Lands	901,364		898,628

Total Property, Plant and Equipment - Net	$	1,940,349	$	1,960,082

Coal reserves are either owned in fee or controlled by lease. The duration of the leases vary; however, the lease terms are generally extended automatically to the exhaustion of economically recoverable reserves, as long as active mining continues. Coal interests held by lease provide the same rights as fee ownership for mineral extraction and are legally considered real property interests.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, property, plant and equipment includes gross assets under finance leases of $91,208 and $90,516, respectively. Accumulated amortization for finance leases was $60,928 and $54,028 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Amortization expense for assets under finance leases approximated $6,901 and $6,230 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is included in Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

In November 2017, CONSOL Energy entered into a revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A. with commitments up to $300,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a Term Loan A Facility of up to $100,000 (the “TLA Facility”) and a Term Loan B Facility of up to $400,000 (the “TLB Facility”, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). On March 28, 2019, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to increase the borrowing commitment of the Revolving Credit Facility to $400,000 and reallocate the principal amounts outstanding under the TLA Facility and the TLB Facility. On June 5, 2020, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “2020 amendment”) to provide eight quarters of financial covenant relaxation, effect an increase in the rate at which borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility bear interest, and add an anti-cash hoarding provision. On March 29, 2021, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to revise the negative covenant with respect to other indebtedness to allow the Company to incur obligations under the tax-exempt solid waste disposal revenue bonds. On April 13, 2021, the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority (“PEDFA”) Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds were issued. The Revolving Credit Facility was

18

further amended in July 2022 (the “2022 amendment”) to, among other things, extend the maturity date of $260,000 of borrowing commitments from March 28, 2023 to July 18, 2026. The Company maintained full access to the $400,000 available under the Revolving Credit Facility until March 28, 2023. As of March 28, 2023, the Company's borrowing limit under the Revolving Credit Facility was reduced to $260,000.

Borrowings under the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate that is, at the Company's option, either (i) SOFR plus the applicable SOFR adjustment (as defined therein) depending on the applicable interest period plus an applicable margin or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility depends on the total net leverage ratio, whereas the applicable margin for the TLB Facility is fixed. The 2020 amendment increased the applicable margin by 50 basis points on both the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility. The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility is July 18, 2026 and the maturity date of the TLA Facility was March 28, 2023. The TLA Facility was paid in full on June 30, 2022. The TLB Facility's maturity date is September 28, 2024. Obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by (i) all owners of the PAMC held by the Company, (ii) any other members of the Company’s group that own any portion of the collateral securing the Revolving Credit Facility, and (iii) subject to certain customary exceptions and agreed materiality thresholds, all other existing or future direct or indirect wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of the Company. The obligations are secured by, subject to certain exceptions (including a limitation of pledges of equity interests in certain subsidiaries and certain thresholds with respect to real property), a first-priority lien on (i) the Company’s interest in the PAMC, (ii) the equity interests in PA Mining Complex LP held by the Company, (iii) the CONSOL Marine Terminal, (iv) the Itmann Mining Complex and (v) the 1.4 billion tons of Greenfield Reserves and Resources.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of customary affirmative covenants. In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of negative covenants, including (subject to certain exceptions) limitations on (among other things): indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions, restricted payments and prepayments of junior indebtedness. The 2020 amendment added additional conditions to be met for the covenants relating to investments in joint ventures, general investments, share repurchases, dividends and repurchases of Second Lien Notes (as defined below). The additional conditions require that the Company have no outstanding borrowings and no more than $200,000 of outstanding letters of credit on the Revolving Credit Facility. Further restrictions apply to investments in joint ventures, share repurchases and dividends that require the Company's total net leverage ratio shall not be greater than 2.00 to 1.00.

The Revolving Credit Facility also includes covenants relating to (i) a maximum first lien gross leverage ratio, (ii) a maximum total net leverage ratio, and (iii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The maximum first lien gross leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA. Consolidated EBITDA, as used in the covenant calculation, excludes non-cash compensation expenses, non-recurring transaction expenses, extraordinary gains and losses, gains and losses on discontinued operations, non-cash charges related to legacy employee liabilities and gains and losses on debt extinguishment, and subtracts cash payments related to legacy employee liabilities. The maximum total net leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness, minus Cash on Hand, to Consolidated EBITDA. The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Fixed Charges. Consolidated Fixed Charges, as used in the covenant calculation, include cash interest payments, cash payments for income taxes, scheduled debt repayments, dividends paid and Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, for the fiscal quarters ending on or after June 30, 2022, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 1.50 to 1.00, the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 2.50 to 1.00 and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio shall be 1.10 to 1.00.

The Company's first lien gross leverage ratio was 0.06 to 1.00 at March 31, 2023. The Company's total net leverage ratio was 0.02 to 1.00 at March 31, 2023. The Company's fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.68 to 1.00 at March 31, 2023. The Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2023.

The TLB Facility also includes a financial covenant that requires the Company to repay a certain amount of its borrowings under the TLB Facility within ten business days after the date it files its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission if the Company has excess cash flow (as defined in the credit agreement for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) during the year covered by the applicable Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result of achieving certain financial metrics as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company was not required to make an excess cash flow payment with respect to the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The required repayment is equal to a certain percentage of the Company’s excess cash flow for such year, ranging from 0% to 75% depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, less the amount of certain voluntary prepayments made by the Company, if any, under the TLB Facility during such fiscal year.

At March 31, 2023, the Revolving Credit Facility had no borrowings outstanding and $145,176 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $114,824 of unused capacity. At December 31, 2022, the Revolving Credit Facility had no borrowings outstanding and $103,029 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $296,971 of unused capacity. From time to time,

19

CONSOL Energy is required to post financial assurances to satisfy contractual and other requirements generated in the normal course of business. Some of these assurances are posted to comply with federal, state or other government agencies' statutes and regulations. CONSOL Energy sometimes uses letters of credit to satisfy these requirements and these letters of credit reduce the Company's borrowing facility capacity.

Second Lien Notes

In November 2017, CONSOL Energy issued $300,000 in aggregate principal amount of 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025 (the “Second Lien Notes”) pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of November 13, 2017, by and between the Company and UMB Bank, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee and collateral trustee (the “Trustee”). On November 28, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Company executed a supplement to the Indenture and became party to the Indenture as a guarantor (the “Guarantors”). The Second Lien Notes are secured by second priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors that are pledged on a first-priority basis as collateral securing the Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (described above), subject to certain exceptions under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and the Guarantors to (i) incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; (ii) create liens to secure indebtedness; (iii) declare or pay dividends on the Company’s common stock, redeem stock or make other distributions to the Company’s stockholders; (iv) make investments; (v) restrict dividends, loans or other asset transfers from the Company’s restricted subsidiaries; (vi) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of the Company’s assets; (vii) sell or otherwise dispose of certain assets, including equity interests in subsidiaries; (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. If the Second Lien Notes achieve an investment grade rating from both Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and no default under the Indenture exists, many of the foregoing covenants will terminate and cease to apply.

The SPV is a non-guarantor subsidiary of the Second Lien Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and the SPV holds the assets pledged to the lender in the securitization facility. The SPV had total assets of $150,132 and $158,877, comprised mainly of $149,404 and $158,127 trade receivables, net, at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Net income attributable to the SPV was $2,622 and $684 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which primarily reflected intercompany fees related to purchasing the receivables, which are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no borrowings or payments under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. See Note 9 - Accounts Receivable Securitization for additional information.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company spent $51,375 to redeem $50,000 of its outstanding Second Lien Notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company spent $26,387 to repurchase $25,000 of its outstanding Second Lien Notes. As a result of these transactions, $1,375 and $2,122 was included in Loss on Debt Extinguishment on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

PEDFA Bonds

In April 2021, CONSOL Energy borrowed the proceeds received from the sale of tax-exempt bonds issued by PEDFA in an aggregate principal amount of $75,000 (the “PEDFA Bonds”). The PEDFA Bonds bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.00% for an initial term of seven years. The PEDFA Bonds mature on April 1, 2051 but are subject to mandatory purchase by the Company on April 13, 2028, at the expiration of the initial term rate period. The PEDFA Bonds were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “PEDFA Indenture”) dated as of April 1, 2021, by and between PEDFA and Wilmington Trust, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (the “PEDFA Notes Trustee”). PEDFA made a loan of the proceeds of the PEDFA Bonds to the Company pursuant to a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated as of April 1, 2021 between PEDFA and the Company. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company agreed to make all payments of principal, interest and other amounts at any time due on the PEDFA Bonds or under the PEDFA Indenture. PEDFA assigned its rights as lender under the Loan Agreement, excluding certain reserved rights, to the PEDFA Notes Trustee. Certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “PEDFA Notes Guarantors”) executed a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) dated as of April 1, 2021 in favor of the PEDFA Notes Trustee, guarantying the obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement to pay the PEDFA Bonds when and as due. The obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement and of the PEDFA Notes Guarantors under the Guaranty are secured by second priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the PEDFA Notes Guarantors on parity with the Second Lien Notes. The Loan Agreement and Guaranty incorporate by reference covenants in the Indenture under which the Second Lien Notes were issued (discussed above).

The Company started a capital construction project on the PAMC coarse refuse disposal area in 2017, which is now funded, in part, by the $75,000 of PEDFA Bond proceeds loaned to the Company. The Company expects to expend these

20

funds as qualified work is completed. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company utilized restricted cash in the amount of $3,244 and $3,031, respectively, for qualified expenses. Additionally, the Company had $32,645 and $35,516 in restricted cash at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, associated with this financing that will be used to fund future spending on the coarse refuse disposal area.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into interest rate swaps, which effectively converted $150,000 of the TLB Facility's floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020 and 2021, and $50,000 of the TLB Facility's floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate for the twelve months ending December 31, 2022. The $50,000 interest rate swap was settled in August 2022 with the change in the floating rate on the TLB Facility to SOFR from LIBOR. The interest rate swaps qualified for cash flow hedge accounting treatment and as such, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps was recorded on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset or liability. The effective portion of the gains or losses was reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. No ineffective gains or losses were reported in earnings during the year ended December 31, 2022.

NOTE 13—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

The Company is subject to various lawsuits and claims with respect to such matters as personal injury, wrongful death, damage to property, exposure to hazardous substances, governmental regulations including environmental remediation, employment and contract disputes and other claims and actions arising out of the normal course of business. The Company accrues the estimated loss for these lawsuits and claims when the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company’s estimated accruals related to these pending claims, individually and in the aggregate, are immaterial to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company as of March 31, 2023. It is possible that the aggregate loss in the future with respect to these lawsuits and claims could ultimately be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, such amounts cannot be reasonably estimated. The amount claimed against the Company as of March 31, 2023 is disclosed below when an amount is expressly stated in the lawsuit or claim, which is not often the case.

Fitzwater Litigation: Three nonunion retired coal miners have sued Fola Coal Company LLC, Consolidation Coal Company (“CCC”) and CONSOL of Kentucky Inc. (“COK”) (as well as the Company's former parent) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia alleging ERISA violations in the termination of retiree health care benefits. The Plaintiffs contend they relied to their detriment on oral statements and promises of “lifetime health benefits” allegedly made by various members of management during Plaintiffs’ employment and that they were allegedly denied access to Summary Plan Documents that clearly reserved to the Company the right to modify or terminate the Retiree Health and Welfare Plan subject to Plaintiffs’ claims. Pursuant to Plaintiffs’ amended complaint filed on April 24, 2017, Plaintiffs request that retiree health benefits be reinstated and seek to represent a class of all nonunion retirees who were associated with AMVEST and COK areas of operation. On October 15, 2019, Plaintiffs’ supplemental motion for class certification was denied on all counts. On July 15, 2020, Plaintiffs filed an interlocutory appeal with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on the Order denying class certification. The Fourth Circuit denied Plaintiffs' appeal on August 14, 2020. On October 1, 2020, the District Court entered a pretrial order setting the trial date, which was held in February 2021. No ruling has been issued by the judge. The Company believes it has a meritorious defense and intends to vigorously defend this suit.

Casey Litigation: A class action lawsuit was filed on August 23, 2017 on behalf of two nonunion retired coal miners against CCC, COK, CONSOL Buchanan Mining Co., LLC and Kurt Salvatori, the Company's Chief Administrative Officer, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia alleging ERISA violations in the termination of retiree health care benefits. Filed by the same lawyers who filed the Fitzwater litigation, and raising nearly identical claims, the Plaintiffs contend they relied to their detriment on oral promises of “lifetime health benefits” allegedly made by various members of management during Plaintiffs’ employment and that they were not provided with copies of Summary Plan Documents clearly reserving to the Company the right to modify or terminate the Retiree Health and Welfare Plan. Plaintiffs request that retiree health benefits be reinstated for them and their dependents and seek to represent a class of all nonunion retirees of any subsidiary of the Company's former parent that operated or employed individuals in McDowell or Mercer Counties, West Virginia, or Buchanan or Tazewell Counties, Virginia whose retiree welfare benefits were terminated. On December 1, 2017, the trial court judge in Fitzwater signed an order to consolidate Fitzwater with Casey. The Casey complaint was amended on March 1, 2018 to add new plaintiffs, add defendant CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company, LLC and eliminate defendant CONSOL Buchanan Mining Co., LLC in an attempt to expand the class of retirees. On October 15, 2019, Plaintiffs’ supplemental motion for class certification was denied on all counts. On July 15, 2020, Plaintiffs filed an interlocutory appeal with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on the Order denying class certification. The Fourth Circuit denied Plaintiffs' appeal on August 14, 2020. On October 1, 2020, the District Court

21

entered a pretrial order setting the trial date, which was held in February 2021. No ruling has been issued by the judge. The Company believes it has a meritorious defense and intends to vigorously defend this suit.

United Mine Workers of America 1992 Benefit Plan Litigation: In 2013, Murray Energy and its subsidiaries (“Murray”) entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Murray sale agreement”) with the Company's former parent pursuant to which Murray acquired the stock of CCC and certain subsidiaries and certain other assets and liabilities. At the time of sale, the liabilities included certain retiree medical liabilities under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 (“Coal Act”) and certain federal black lung liabilities under the Black Lung Benefits Act (“BLBA”). Based upon information available, the Company estimates that the annual servicing costs of these liabilities are approximately $10 million to $20 million per year for the next ten years. The annual servicing cost would decline each year since the beneficiaries of the Coal Act consist principally of miners who retired prior to 1994. Murray filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2019. As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, Murray unilaterally entered into a settlement with the United Mine Workers of America 1992 Benefit Plant (the “1992 Benefit Plan”) to transfer retirees in the Murray Energy Section 9711 Plan to the 1992 Benefit Plan. This was approved by the bankruptcy court on April 30, 2020. On May 2, 2020, the 1992 Benefit Plan filed an action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia asking the court to make a determination whether the Company's former parent or the Company has any continuing retiree medical liabilities under the Coal Act (the “1992 Plan Lawsuit”). The Murray sale agreement includes indemnification by Murray with respect to the Coal Act and BLBA liabilities. In addition, the Company had agreed to indemnify its former parent relative to certain pre-separation liabilities. As of September 16, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Murray and withdrew its claims in bankruptcy. On September 11, 2020, the Defendants in the 1992 Plan Lawsuit filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint which was denied by the Court on March 29, 2022. The Company will continue to vigorously defend any claims that attempt to transfer any of such liabilities directly or indirectly to the Company, including raising all applicable defenses against the 1992 Benefit Plan’s suit. With respect to this lawsuit, while a loss is possible, it is not probable and, as a result, no accrual has been recorded.

Other Matters: On July 27, 2021, the Company's former parent informed the Company that it had received a request from the UMWA 1974 Pension Plan for information related to the facts and circumstances surrounding the former parent's 2013 sale of certain of its coal subsidiaries to Murray (the “Letter Request”). The Letter Request indicates that litigation by the UMWA 1974 Pension Plan against the Company's former parent related to potential withdrawal liabilities from the plan created by the 2019 bankruptcy of Murray is reasonably foreseeable. There has been no indication of potential claims against the Company by the UMWA 1974 Pension Plan and, at this time, no liability of the Company's former parent has been assessed.

The Company and various subsidiaries are defendants in certain other legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, based upon an investigation of these matters and discussion with legal counsel, the ultimate outcome of such other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The following is a summary, as of March 31, 2023, of the financial guarantees, unconditional purchase obligations and letters of credit to certain third parties. Employee-related financial guarantees have primarily been provided to support the 1992 Benefit Plan and federal black lung and various state workers' compensation self-insurance programs. Environmental financial guarantees have primarily been provided to support various performance bonds related to reclamation and other environmental issues. Other financial guarantees have been extended to support sales contracts, insurance policies, surety indemnity agreements, legal matters, full and timely payments of mining equipment leases, and various other items necessary in the normal course of business. These amounts represent the maximum potential of total future payments that the Company could be required to make under these instruments. Certain letters of credit included in the table below were issued against other commitments included in this table. These amounts have not been reduced for potential recoveries under recourse or collateralization provisions. Generally, recoveries under reclamation bonds would be limited to the extent of the work performed at the time of the default. No amounts related to these commitments are recorded as liabilities in the financial statements. The Company's management believes that these commitments will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

	Amount of Commitment Expiration per Period
	Total Amounts Committed		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		Beyond 5 Years
Letters of Credit:

Total Surety Bonds	$	605,664	$	555,499	$	50,165	$	—	$	—

The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of default for all guarantees based on an expected loss analysis and records the fair value, if any, of its guarantees as an obligation in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 14—DERIVATIVES

Interest Rate Risk Management

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to manage exposures to interest rate risk on long-term debt in order to achieve a mix of fixed and variable rate debt that it deems appropriate. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of future variable interest payments. The $50,000 interest rate swap was settled in August 2022 with the change in the floating rate on the TLB Facility to SOFR from LIBOR. For additional information on these arrangements, refer to Note 12 - Long-Term Debt.

Coal Price Risk Management Positions

The Company may sell or purchase forward contracts, swaps and options in the over-the-counter coal market in order to manage its exposure to coal prices. The Company has exposure to the risk of fluctuating coal prices related to forecasted or index-priced sales of coal or to the risk of changes in the fair value of a fixed price physical sales contract. All of the Company's coal-related derivative contracts were settled as of December 31, 2022.

Tabular Derivatives Disclosures

The Company had master netting agreements with all of its counterparties which allowed for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. Such netting arrangements reduced the Company's credit exposure related to these counterparties to the extent the Company had any liability to such counterparties. For classification purposes, the Company recorded the net fair value of all the positions with a given counterparty as a net asset or liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of derivatives reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets are set forth in the table below.

	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Asset Derivatives		Liability Derivatives		Asset Derivatives		Liability Derivatives
Coal Swap Contracts	$	—	$	—	$	6,024	$	(21,166)
Effect of Counterparty Netting	—		—		(6,024)		6,024
Net Derivatives as Classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	(15,142)

The Company did not seek cash flow hedge accounting treatment for its commodity derivative financial instruments and therefore, changes in fair value were reflected in earnings throughout the terms of those instruments. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company settled a portion of its commodity derivatives at a loss of $86,252.

23

Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized adjustments to the fair value of its commodity derivatives of $101,902. These settlements and fair value adjustments were included in Loss on Commodity Derivatives, net on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company classified the cash effects of its derivatives within the Cash Flows from Operating Activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

NOTE 15—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

CONSOL Energy determines the fair value of assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair values are based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations. The fair value hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources (including LIBOR-based discount rates, SOFR-based discount rates and U.S. Treasury-based rates), while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions of what market participants would use.

The fair value hierarchy includes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as described below.

Level One - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. The Company's Level 1 assets include marketable debt securities, primarily highly liquid U.S. Treasury securities.

Level Two - The fair value of the assets and liabilities included in Level 2 are based on standard industry income approach models that use significant observable inputs, including LIBOR-based discount rates, SOFR-based discount rates and U.S. Treasury-based rates. The Company's Level 2 assets and liabilities include coal commodity contracts with fair values derived from quoted prices in over-the-counter markets.

Level Three - Unobservable inputs significant to the fair value measurement supported by little or no market activity.

In those cases when the inputs used to measure fair value meet the definition of more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its totality determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy.

The financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

	Fair Value Measurements at						Fair Value Measurements at
	March 31, 2023						December 31, 2022
Description	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Commodity Derivatives	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	(15,142)	$	—
U.S. Treasury Securities	$	75,310	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value for which the fair value option was not elected:

Long-term debt: The fair value of long-term debt is measured using unadjusted quoted market prices or estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discounted cash flow analyses are based on current market rates for instruments with similar cash flows.

The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments for which the fair value option was not elected are as follows:

	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Long-Term Debt (Excluding Debt Issuance Costs)	$	260,409	$	276,346	$	350,572	$	365,789

24

Certain of the Company’s debt is actively traded on a public market and, as a result, constitutes Level 1 fair value measurements. The portion of the Company’s debt obligations that is not actively traded is valued through reference to the applicable underlying benchmark rate and, as a result, constitutes Level 2 fair value measurements.

NOTE 16—SEGMENT INFORMATION:

The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management to make decisions on and assess performance of the Company’s reportable segments. CONSOL Energy presently consists of two reportable segments, the PAMC and the CONSOL Marine Terminal. The PAMC includes the Bailey Mine, the Enlow Fork Mine, the Harvey Mine and a centralized preparation plant. The PAMC segment’s principal activities include the mining, preparation and marketing of bituminous coal, sold primarily to power generators, industrial end-users and metallurgical end-users. The CONSOL Marine Terminal provides coal export terminal services through the Port of Baltimore. General and administrative costs are allocated to the Company’s segments based on a percentage of resources utilized, a percentage of total revenue and a percentage of total projected capital expenditures. CONSOL Energy’s Other segment includes revenue and expenses from various corporate and diversified business activities that are not allocated to the PAMC or the CONSOL Marine Terminal segments. The diversified business activities include the Itmann Mining Complex, the Greenfield Reserves and Resources, closed mine activities, other income, gain on asset sales related to non-core assets, and gain/loss on debt extinguishment. Additionally, interest expense and income taxes, as well as various other non-operated activities, none of which are individually significant to the Company, are also reflected in CONSOL Energy's Other segment and are not allocated to the PAMC and CONSOL Marine Terminal segments.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and various sales and production metrics. Adjusted EBITDA measures the operating performance of the Company's segments and is used to allocate resources to the Company's segments.

NOTE 17—STOCK AND DEBT REPURCHASES:

In December 2017, CONSOL Energy’s Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase, from time to time, the Company's outstanding shares of common stock or its Second Lien Notes. Since the program's inception, the Company's Board of Directors has subsequently amended the program several times, the most recent of which amendment in August 2022 raised the aggregate limit of the Company's repurchase authority to $600,000 and extended the program until December 31, 2024.

Under the terms of the program, CONSOL Energy is permitted to make repurchases in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, accelerated repurchase programs or in structured share repurchase programs. CONSOL Energy is also authorized to enter into one or more 10b5-1 plans with respect to any of the repurchases. Any repurchases of common stock or notes are to be funded from available cash on hand or short-term borrowings. The program does not obligate CONSOL Energy to acquire any particular amount of its common stock or notes, and the program can be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. The program is conducted in compliance with applicable legal requirements and within the limits imposed by any credit agreement, receivables purchase agreement or indenture.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not make any open market repurchases of its Second Lien Notes in accordance with this program. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company spent $26,387 to repurchase $25,000 of its Second Lien Notes in accordance with this program. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased and retired 1,207,409 shares of the Company's common stock at an average price of $55.60 per share. No shares of common stock were repurchased under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

NOTE 18—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

On April 26, 2023, CONSOL Energy issued a notice of partial redemption of its Second Lien Notes at 102.75% in the amount of $25 million. The redemption will take place on May 26, 2023.

On April 27, 2023, CONSOL Energy Inc.'s Board of Directors approved an expansion of the stock and debt repurchase program. The aggregate amount of the program's expansion is $400 million, bringing the total amount of the Company's stock and debt repurchase program to $1 billion. The program's available capacity as of May 2, 2023 is approximately $705 million.

On May 2, 2023, CONSOL Energy announced a $1.10/share dividend in an aggregate amount of approximately $37 million, payable on May 23, 2023 to all stockholders of record as of May 15, 2023.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and corresponding notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. In addition, this Form 10-Q report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022 included in CONSOL Energy Inc.'s Form 10-K, filed on February 10, 2023. This MD&A contains forward-looking statements and the matters discussed in these forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking statements. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

All amounts discussed are in millions of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. All tons discussed are on a clean coal equivalent basis.

Our Business

We are a leading, low-cost producer of high-quality bituminous coal, focused on the extraction and preparation of coal in the Appalachian Basin due to our ability to efficiently produce and deliver large volumes of high-quality coal at competitive prices, the strategic location of our mines and the industry experience of our management team.

Our most significant tangible assets are the PAMC and CONSOL Marine Terminal. Coal from the PAMC is valued because of its high energy content (as measured in Btu per pound), relatively low levels of sulfur and other impurities, and strong thermoplastic properties that enable it to be used in metallurgical, industrial and power generation applications. We take advantage of these desirable quality characteristics and our extensive logistical network, which is directly served by both the Norfolk Southern Corporation (“Norfolk Southern”) and CSX Transportation Inc. (“CSX”) railroads, to aggressively market our product to a broad base of strategically selected, top-performing power plant customers in the eastern United States. We also capitalize on the operational synergies afforded by the CONSOL Marine Terminal to export our coal to industrial, power generation and metallurgical end-users globally.

We are continuing to expand our presence in the metallurgical coal market through our Itmann Mining Complex in West Virginia. The Itmann Preparation Plant was constructed in 2022, began processing coal in late September 2022 and shipped its first train in October 2022. The plant includes a train loadout located on the Guyandotte Class I rail line, which can be served by both Norfolk Southern and CSX.

Our operations, including the PAMC and the CONSOL Marine Terminal, have consistently generated strong cash flows, even throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 31, 2022, the PAMC controls 622.1 million tons of high-quality Pittsburgh seam reserves, enough to allow for more than 20 years of full-capacity production, based on our current estimates. As of December 31, 2022, the Itmann Mining Complex includes 28.7 million tons of recoverable coal reserves that are sufficient to support more than 25 years of full-capacity production, based on our current estimates. In addition, we own or control approximately 1.4 billion tons of Greenfield Reserves and Resources located in the Northern Appalachian (“NAPP”), the Central Appalachian (“CAPP”) and the Illinois Basins (“ILB”). Our vision is to maximize cash flow generation through the safe, compliant, and efficient operation of this core asset base, while strategically reducing debt, returning capital through share buybacks and/or dividends, and, when prudent, allocating capital toward compelling growth and diversification opportunities.

Our core businesses consist of our:

•Pennsylvania Mining Complex: The PAMC, which includes the Bailey Mine, the Enlow Fork Mine, the Harvey Mine and the Central Preparation Plant, has extensive high-quality coal reserves. We mine our reserves from the Pittsburgh No. 8 Coal Seam, which is a large contiguous formation of high-Btu coal that is ideal for high productivity, low-cost longwall mining operations. The design of the PAMC is optimized to produce large quantities of coal on a cost-efficient basis. We can sustain high production volumes at comparatively low operating costs due to, among other things, our technologically advanced longwall mining systems, logistics infrastructure and safety. All our mines at the PAMC utilize longwall mining, which is a highly automated underground mining technique that produces large volumes of coal at lower costs compared to other underground mining methods.

•CONSOL Marine Terminal: Through our subsidiary CONSOL Marine Terminals LLC, we provide coal export terminal services through the Port of Baltimore. The terminal can either store coal or load coal directly into vessels from rail cars. It is also the only major east coast United States coal terminal served by two railroads, Norfolk Southern and CSX.

•Itmann Mining Complex: Construction of the Itmann No. 5 Mine, located in Wyoming County, West Virginia, began in the second half of 2019; development mining began in April 2020, but the pace of the project was intentionally slowed to minimize capital spending due to the uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The coal preparation plant was commissioned during the third quarter of 2022 and shipped its first train in October 2022. The Company anticipates approximately 900 thousand tons per year of high-quality, low-vol coking coal production from the Itmann No. 5 Mine once it achieves its full run rate, with an anticipated mine life of 25+ years. The preparation plant also includes a rail loadout and the capability for processing up to an additional 750 thousand to 1 million saleable tons annually from third-parties and mining of our surrounding reserves. This additional processing revenue is expected to provide an avenue of growth for the Company.

These low-cost assets and the diverse markets they serve provide us opportunities to generate cash across a wide variety of demand and pricing scenarios. The three mines at the PAMC typically operate four to five longwalls, and the production from all three mines is processed at a single, centralized preparation plant, which is connected via conveyor belts to each mine. The Central Preparation Plant, which can clean and process up to 8,200 raw tons of coal per hour, provides economies of scale while also maintaining the ability to segregate and blend coal based on quality. This infrastructure enables us to tailor our production levels and quality specifications to meet market demands. It also results in a highly productive, low-cost operation as compared to other NAPP coal mines. As of December 31, 2022, and based on production per employee, the PAMC is one of the most productive and efficient coal mining complex in NAPP, averaging 7.88 tons of coal production per employee hour for the past two years. Our high productivity helps drive a low-cost structure. Our efficiency strengthens our margins throughout the commodity cycle and has allowed us to continue to generate positive margins even in challenging pricing environments.

Q1 2023 Highlights:

•PAMC coal shipments of 6.7 million tons.

•CONSOL Marine Terminal throughput volume of 4.6 million tons.

•Debt repayments of $98.4 million – payments on Second Lien Notes, Term Loan B, and equipment-financed and other debt of $50.0 million, $40.0 million and $8.4 million, respectively.

•Announced a dividend of $1.10/share payable on May 23, 2023 to all stockholders of record as of May 15, 2023.

•Repurchased 1.2 million shares of CONSOL Energy common stock at a weighted average price of $55.60 per share.

Outlook for 2023:

Based on our current contracted position, estimated prices and production plans, we are providing the following updated financial and operating performance guidance for full fiscal year 2023:

•PAMC coal sales volume of 25.0-27.0 million tons

•PAMC average realized coal revenue per ton sold (1) of $76.00 - $81.00

•PAMC average cash cost of coal sold per ton (1) of $34.00-$36.00

•Itmann Mining Complex production volume of 400 thousand to 600 thousand tons

•Capital expenditures of $160 million to $185 million

(1) Average realized coal revenue per ton sold and average cash cost of coal sold per ton are operating ratios derived from non-GAAP financial measures. CONSOL Energy is unable to provide a reconciliation of this guidance to any measures calculated in accordance with GAAP due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of certain income statement items.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Our management team uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability. The metrics include: (i) coal production and sales volumes; (ii) realized coal revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure; (iii) cost of coal sold, a non-GAAP financial measure; (iv) cash cost of coal sold, a non-GAAP financial measure; (v) average realized coal revenue per ton sold, an operating ratio derived from non-GAAP financial measures; (vi) average cash cost of coal sold per ton, an operating ratio derived from non-GAAP financial measures; (vii) average cash margin per ton sold, an operating ratio derived from non-GAAP financial measures; (viii) adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure; and (ix) total recurring revenues, a non-GAAP financial measure.

We believe realized coal revenue, average realized coal revenue per ton sold, cost of coal sold, cash cost of coal sold, average cash cost of coal sold per ton, and average cash margin per ton sold normalize the volatility contained within comparable GAAP measures by adjusting for certain non-operating or non-cash transactions. We believe that adjusted

29

EBITDA provides a helpful measure of comparing our operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing, capital structures and tax rates than ours. We believe realized coal revenue and average realized coal revenue per ton sold provide useful information to investors because they better reflect our earnings by including the settled costs (or gains) of our commodity derivatives for the period. Each of these non-GAAP metrics are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, industry analysts, lenders and ratings agencies, to assess:

•our operating performance as compared to the operating performance of other companies in the coal industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis, tax rates or capital structure;

•the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow;

•our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures;

•the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities; and

•the attractiveness of capital projects and acquisitions and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to operating and other costs, total coal revenue, net income, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures exclude some, but not all, items that affect measures presented in accordance with GAAP, and these measures and the way we calculate them may vary from those of other companies. As a result, the items presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We evaluate our cost of coal sold and cash cost of coal sold on an aggregate basis by segment, and our average cash cost of coal sold per ton on a per-ton basis. Cost of coal sold includes items such as direct operating costs, royalty and production taxes, direct administration costs, and depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on production assets. Cost of coal sold excludes any indirect costs, such as general and administrative costs, freight expenses, (loss) gain on debt extinguishment, interest expenses, depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on non-production assets and other costs not directly attributable to the production of coal. The cash cost of coal sold includes cost of coal sold less depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on production assets. We define average cash cost of coal sold per ton as cash cost of coal sold divided by tons sold. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to cost of coal sold, cash cost of coal sold and average cash cost of coal sold per ton is operating and other costs.

The following table presents a reconciliation for the PAMC segment of cash cost of coal sold, cost of coal sold and average cash cost of coal sold per ton to operating and other costs, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a historical basis, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except per ton information).

Revenues from Contracts with Customers

Revenues from contracts with customers were $678 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $535 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

On a consolidated basis, coal revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $583 million, which consisted of $563 million from the Pennsylvania Mining Complex and $20 million from the Itmann Mining Complex. The $583 million of coal revenue was sold into the following markets: $300 million into power generation, $192 million into industrial, and $91 million into metallurgical. The Company had consolidated coal revenue of $476 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which consisted of $473 million from the Pennsylvania Mining Complex and $3 million from the Itmann Mining Complex. The $476 million of coal revenue was sold into the following markets: $344 million into power generation, $99 million into industrial, and $33 million into metallurgical.

Historically, the majority of the Company's production was directed toward its established base of domestic power plant customers, many of which were secured through spot, annual or multi-year contracts. The domestic power generation market has experienced a lack of growth in recent years. The Company maintains flexibility to diversify its portfolio by placing a growing portion of its production in the export markets, where it sells to power generation, industrial, and metallurgical end-users. These markets tend to provide the Company with pricing upside when markets are strong and with volume stability when markets are weak. In the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company placed 3.9 million tons of coal, or 58% of its total tons sold, into the export market. Comparatively, in the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company placed 2.8 million tons of coal, or 43% of its total tons sold, into the export market. Furthermore, when excluding fair value adjustments of commodity derivatives and gains/losses on sales of assets, 56% of the Company's recurring revenues (a non-GAAP measure; see “How We Evaluate Our Operations - ‘Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures’” above for an explanation and reconciliation of these amounts to the nearest GAAP measure) were derived from non-power generation applications during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 24% for the three months ended March 31, 2022. See “Operational Performance” for further information about segment results.

33

The Company’s Terminal revenue consists of fees charged for coal loaded at the CONSOL Marine Terminal, which is located in the Port of Baltimore, Maryland and provides access to international coal markets. Terminal revenues are generated from providing transloading services from rail to vessel or barge, temporary storage or stockpile facilities, as well as blending, weighing, and sampling. Terminal revenues were $27 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. See “Operational Performance - CONSOL Marine Terminal Analysis” for further information about segment results.

The Company recognizes freight revenue as the amount billed to customers for transportation costs incurred. This revenue is based on the weight of coal shipped, negotiated freight rates and method of transportation, primarily rail, used by the customers to which the Company contractually provides transportation services to move its coal from the mine to the ultimate sales point. Freight revenue is completely offset by freight expense. Freight revenue and freight expense were both $68 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $38 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $30 million increase was primarily related to increased transportation costs associated with the aforementioned increase of sales into the export market.

Loss on Commodity Derivatives, net

As of December 31, 2022, all of the Company's coal-related derivative contracts have settled and the Company has not entered into any additional coal-related derivative contracts. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company settled a portion of its coal-related derivatives at a loss of $86 million and recognized fair value adjustments of its commodity derivative instruments of $102 million, driven by increases in forward API2 coal prices during that period. See “Operational Performance - PAMC Analysis” for further information about segment results.

Miscellaneous Other Income

Miscellaneous other income was $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The change is due to the following items:

	Three Months Ended March 31,

Operating and Other Costs

On a consolidated basis, operating and other costs were $261 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $219 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Operating and other costs increased in the period-to-period comparison due to the following items:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		Variance
Operating Costs - PAMC	$	222	$	195	$	27
Operating Costs - Itmann Mining Complex	23		3		20

Closed and Idle Mines	1		1		—
Other	4		9		(5)
Operating and Other Costs	$	261	$	219	$	42

34

Operating costs for the Pennsylvania Mining Complex include items such as direct operating costs, royalties and production taxes and direct administration costs. In the period-to-period comparison, operating costs - PAMC increased $27 million, primarily due to additional production, as the fifth longwall was brought online in the fourth quarter of 2022. See “Operational Performance - PAMC Analysis” for further information on segment operating costs.

Operating costs for the Itmann Mining Complex primarily consist of costs related to produced tons sold, development costs absorbed by the coal revenue generated during development, and costs incurred to purchase third-party metallurgical coal to blend with Itmann coal. Operating costs - Itmann Mining Complex include items such as direct development and operating costs, royalties and production taxes, hauling of raw coal and direct administration costs. The $20 million increase in operating costs - Itmann Mining Complex is primarily due to an increase in the volume of coal as the operations continue to transition from development mining to full production.

Operating costs - Terminal primarily consist of costs related to throughput tons at the CONSOL Marine Terminal, which were consistent in the period-to-period comparison. See “Operational Performance - CONSOL Marine Terminal Analysis” for further information on segment operating costs.

Other costs consist of items that are not related to the Company's mining or terminal operations. The decrease was primarily attributable to fewer expenses incurred in the current quarter across various categories, none of which were individually material.

Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization

On a consolidated basis, depreciation, depletion and amortization costs were $60 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $56 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Depreciation, depletion and amortization increased $4 million in the period-to-period comparison primarily due to the commissioning of the Itmann Preparation Plant and the transition from development mining to full production in late 2022.

General and Administrative Costs

On a consolidated basis, general and administrative costs were $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $37 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The $20 million decrease in the period-to-period comparison was primarily related to decreased expense under the long-term incentive compensation plan incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to substantial fluctuations in the Company's share price during each of the respective periods.

Interest Expense

On a consolidated basis, interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, was $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in the period-to-period comparison was primarily due to the Company's continued de-leveraging efforts.

Operational Performance: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 Compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

CONSOL Energy presently consists of two reportable segments, the PAMC and the CONSOL Marine Terminal. The PAMC includes the Bailey Mine, the Enlow Fork Mine, the Harvey Mine and a centralized preparation plant. The PAMC segment's principal activities include the mining, preparation and marketing of bituminous coal, sold primarily to power generators, industrial end-users and metallurgical end-users. The segment also includes general and administrative activities and interest expense, as well as various other activities assigned to the PAMC segment, but not included in the cost components on a per unit basis. The CONSOL Marine Terminal segment provides coal export terminal services through the Port of Baltimore. The segment also includes general and administrative activities and interest expense, as well as various other activities assigned to the CONSOL Marine Terminal segment.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and various sales and production metrics. Adjusted EBITDA measures the operating performance of the Company's segments and is used to allocate resources to the Company's segments.

See “How We Evaluate Our Operations - ‘Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures’” above for an explanation and reconciliation of these amounts to the nearest GAAP measures.

PAMC ANALYSIS:

Coal Production

The table below presents total tons produced (in thousands) from the Pennsylvania Mining Complex for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
Mine	2023	2022	Variance
Bailey	3,273	3,020	253
Enlow	2,406	1,776	630
Harvey	1,358	1,560	(202)
Total	7,037	6,356	681

Coal production was 7.0 million tons for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 6.4 million tons for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The PAMC's coal production increased in the period-to-period comparison primarily due to the completion of development of the Company's fifth longwall at the PAMC toward the end of the fourth quarter of 2022; it is now fully operational.

Coal Operations

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $331 million compared to $158 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The improvement was primarily attributable to a $24.72 increase in average realized coal revenue per ton sold, as well as a 0.2 million increase in tons sold, partially offset by a $3.70 increase in the average cash cost of coal sold per ton. The increase in average realized coal revenue per ton sold is directly attributable to the Company's flexibility to place its coal sales into the market that yields the best arbitrage for its product. Specifically, the mild winter weather in the three months ended March 31, 2023 led to softening demand for domestic electricity generation, which contributed to reduced prices for domestic natural gas, which is a competitor to the Company's coal product. The Company pivoted away from the domestic market and into stronger export markets, recognizing higher realized pricing compared to the prior year period. The Company's realized coal revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was also impacted by the settlement of certain commodity derivatives at a loss of $86 million. All of the Company's commodity derivatives were settled as of December 31, 2022 (see Note 14 - Derivatives in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). The increase in the average cash cost of coal sold per ton was primarily

36

due to ongoing inflationary pressures on supplies, maintenance costs and contractor labor compared to the prior-year period.

CONSOL MARINE TERMINAL ANALYSIS:

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $21 million compared to $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Throughput volumes at the CONSOL Marine Terminal were 4.6 million tons for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to 3.6 million tons for the three months ended March 31, 2022. CONSOL Marine Terminal revenue was $27 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as a result of this increased throughput tonnage and an increase in the rates charged to transload coal at the Terminal due to increased export demand and commodity pricing strength.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

CONSOL Energy's potential sources of liquidity include cash generated from operations, cash on hand, short-term investments of U.S Treasury securities, borrowings under the revolving credit facility and securitization facility (which are discussed below), and, if necessary, the ability to issue additional equity or debt securities. The Company believes that cash generated from these sources, without needing to issue additional equity or debt securities, will be sufficient to meet its short-term working capital requirements, long-term capital expenditure requirements, and debt servicing obligations, as well as to provide required letters of credit.

Despite a warmer-than-normal winter globally, we expect demand for our coal to remain elevated compared to historical norms. The higher prices resulting from this demand are bolstering the Company's cash flows, which has allowed the Company to accelerate debt reduction. As a result, interest expense and debt servicing costs are declining. These factors will allow the Company to continue to opportunistically reduce its debt levels and return capital to stockholders in the form of dividends and/or stock repurchases. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company generated cash flows from operating activities of approximately $249 million and utilized a portion of operating cash flows to retire outstanding indebtedness. More specifically, the Company made debt repayments of $50 million, $40 million, and $8 million on its Second Lien Notes (as defined below), Term Loan B Facility (as defined below), and equipment-financed and other debt, respectively. Despite the planned reduction of $140 million of revolver capacity from non-extending lenders under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below), our total liquidity was $384 million as of March 31, 2023, which comprises $193 million of cash and cash equivalents, $75 million of short-term investments into U.S Treasury securities, the remaining capacity of $115 million on our revolving credit facility and the remaining capacity of $1 million on our securitization facility.

Events that negatively impact our overall financial condition and liquidity could result in our inability to comply with our credit facility's financial covenants. This could limit our access to our credit facilities if we are unable to obtain waivers from our lenders or amend the credit facilities. Additionally, access to capital continues to tighten for the Company's industry as a result of banking, institutional and investor environmental, social and governance (ESG) requirements and limitations, which tend to discourage investment in coal and other fossil fuel companies. However, the Company expects to maintain adequate liquidity through its operating cash flow, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and short-term investments, as well as its revolving credit facility and securitization facility, to fund its working capital and capital expenditures in the short-term and long-term.

The Company started a capital construction project on the coarse refuse disposal area at the PAMC in 2017. The construction on the coarse refuse disposal area is now funded, in part, by the $75 million of tax-exempt solid waste disposal revenue bonds, the proceeds of which were loaned to the Company and which the Company expects to expend as qualified work is completed. To date through the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company utilized restricted cash held in escrow in the amount of $42 million for qualified expenses. The Company has $33 million remaining in restricted cash associated with this financing that will be used to fund future spending on the coarse refuse disposal area.

Uncertainty in the financial markets brings additional potential risks to CONSOL Energy. These risks include a reduction of our ability to raise capital in the equity markets, less availability and higher costs of additional credit and potential counterparty defaults. Overall market disruptions, including as a result of recent or additional bank failures, rising interest rates and sustained high inflation, may impact the Company's collection of trade receivables. As a result, CONSOL Energy regularly monitors the creditworthiness of its customers and counterparties and manages credit exposure through payment terms, credit limits, prepayments and security.

Over the past few years, the insurance and surety markets have been increasingly challenging, particularly for coal companies. We have experienced rising premiums, reduced coverage and/or fewer providers willing to underwrite policies and surety bonds. Terms have generally become more unfavorable, including increases in the amount of collateral required to secure surety bonds. However, more recently, we have seen insurance rates stabilize and even decrease on certain lines

of coverage, as new insurance carriers have entered the market. Further cost burdens on our ability to maintain adequate insurance and bond coverage may adversely impact our operations, financial position and liquidity.

CONSOL Energy participates in the United Mine Workers of America (the “UMWA”) Combined Benefit Fund and the UMWA 1992 Benefit Plan for which benefits are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements when paid. These benefit arrangements may result in additional liabilities that are not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2023. The various multi-employer benefit plans are discussed in Note 17—Other Employee Benefit Plans in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. CONSOL Energy's total contributions under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 were $1 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Based on available information at December 31, 2022, CONSOL Energy's aggregate obligation for the UMWA Combined Benefit Fund and 1992 Benefit Plan is estimated to be approximately $39 million. CONSOL Energy also uses a combination of surety bonds, corporate guarantees and letters of credit to secure its financial obligations for employee-related, environmental, performance and various other items which are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2023. Management believes these items will expire without being funded. See Note 13— Commitments and Contingent Liabilities in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional details of the various financial guarantees that have been issued by CONSOL Energy.

Cash Used in Financing Activities	$	(226)	$	(46)	$	(180)

Cash provided by operating activities increased $101 million in the period-to-period comparison, primarily due to a $177 million increase in adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, offset by other working capital changes that occurred throughout both periods.

Cash used in investing activities increased $72 million in the period-to-period comparison, primarily due to $75 million in purchases of short-term investments into U.S Treasury securities during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Capital expenditures decreased $3 million primarily due to the completion of construction of a preparation plant near the Itmann No. 5 Mine, which was commissioned during the third quarter of 2022, partially offset by an increase in equipment-related expenditures. Further details regarding the Company's capital expenditures are set forth below.

Cash flows used in financing activities increased $180 million in the period-to-period comparison primarily driven by $75 million in CONSOL Energy share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2023, including $8 million for the settlement of shares repurchased on December 29 and 30, 2022. No such repurchases were made during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Additionally, there was a $60 million increase in net payments on indebtedness due to the Company's ongoing de-leveraging efforts and $38 million in dividend payments were made during the three months ended March 31, 2023. No such dividend payments were made during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

In November 2017, CONSOL Energy entered into a revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A. with commitments up to $300 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a Term Loan A Facility of up to $100 million (the “TLA Facility”) and a Term Loan B Facility of up to $400 million (the “TLB Facility”, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). On March 28, 2019, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to increase the borrowing commitment of the Revolving Credit Facility to $400 million and reallocate the principal amounts outstanding under the TLA Facility and the TLB Facility. On June 5, 2020, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “2020 amendment”) to provide eight quarters of financial covenant relaxation, effect an increase in the rate at which borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility bear interest, and add an anti-cash hoarding provision. On March 29, 2021, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to revise the negative covenant with respect to other indebtedness to allow the Company to incur obligations under the tax-exempt solid waste disposal revenue bonds. On April 13, 2021, the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority ("PEDFA") Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds were issued. The Revolving Credit Facility was further amended in July 2022 (the “2022 amendment”) to, among other things, extend the maturity date of $260 million of borrowing commitments from March 28, 2023 to July 18, 2026. The Company maintained full access to the $400 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility until March, 28, 2023. As of March 28, 2023, the Company's borrowing limit under the Revolving Credit Facility was reduced to $260 million.

Borrowings under the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate that is, at the Company's option, either (i) SOFR plus the applicable SOFR adjustment (as defined therein) depending on the applicable interest period plus an applicable margin or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin.

The applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility depends on the total net leverage ratio, whereas the applicable margin for the TLB Facility is fixed. The 2020 amendment increased the applicable margin by 50 basis points on both the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility. The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility is July 18, 2026 and the maturity date of the TLA Facility was March 28, 2023. The TLA Facility was paid in full on June 30, 2022. The TLB Facility's maturity date is September 28, 2024. In June 2019, the TLA Facility began amortizing in equal quarterly installments of (i) 3.75% of the original principal amount thereof, for four consecutive quarterly installments commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019, (ii) 6.25% of the original principal amount thereof for the subsequent eight quarterly installments commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and (iii) 8.75% of the original principal amount thereof for the quarterly installments thereafter, and the remaining balance was to have been due at final maturity. In June 2019, the TLB Facility began amortizing in equal quarterly installments in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the amended principal amount thereof, with the remaining balance due at final maturity.

Obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by (i) all owners of the PAMC held by the Company, (ii) any other members of the Company’s group that own any portion of the collateral securing the Revolving Credit Facility, and (iii) subject to certain customary exceptions and agreed materiality thresholds, all other existing or future direct or indirect wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of the Company. The obligations are secured by, subject to certain exceptions (including a limitation of pledges of equity interests in certain subsidiaries and certain thresholds with respect to real property), a first-priority lien on (i) the Company’s interest in the Pennsylvania Mining Complex, (ii) the equity interests in PA Mining Complex LP held by the Company, (iii) the CONSOL Marine Terminal, (iv) the Itmann Mining Complex, and (v) the 1.4 billion tons of Greenfield Reserves and Resources. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of customary affirmative covenants. In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of negative covenants, including (subject to certain exceptions) limitations on (among other things): indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions, restricted payments, and prepayments of junior indebtedness. The 2020 amendment added additional conditions to be met for the covenants relating to investments in joint ventures, general investments, share repurchases, dividends, and repurchases of the Second Lien Notes (as defined below). The additional conditions require no outstanding borrowings and no more than $200 million of outstanding letters of credit on the Revolving Credit Facility. Further restrictions apply to investments in joint ventures, share repurchases and dividends that require the total net leverage ratio shall not be greater than 2.00 to 1.00.

The Revolving Credit Facility also includes financial covenants, including (i) a maximum first lien gross leverage ratio, (ii) a maximum total net leverage ratio, and (iii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The maximum first lien gross leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA. Consolidated EBITDA, as used in the covenant calculation, excludes non-cash compensation expenses, nonrecurring transaction expenses, extraordinary gains and losses, gains and losses on discontinued operations, non-cash charges related to legacy employee liabilities and gains and losses on debt extinguishment, and subtracts cash payments related to legacy employee liabilities. The maximum total net leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness, minus Cash on Hand, to Consolidated EBITDA. The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Fixed Charges. Consolidated Fixed Charges, as used in the covenant calculation, include cash

39

interest payments, cash payments for income taxes, scheduled debt repayments, dividends paid, and Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, for the fiscal quarters ending on or after June 30, 2022, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 1.50 to 1.00, the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 2.50 to 1.00 and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio shall be 1.10 to 1.00.

The Company's first lien gross leverage ratio was 0.06 to 1.00 at March 31, 2023. The Company's total net leverage ratio was 0.02 to 1.00 at March 31, 2023. The Company's fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.68 to 1.00 at March 31, 2023. Accordingly, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2023.

The TLB Facility also includes a financial covenant that requires the Company to repay a certain amount of its borrowings under the TLB Facility within ten business days after the date it files its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) if the Company has excess cash flow (as defined in the credit agreement for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) during the year covered by the applicable Annual Report on Form 10-K. The required repayment is equal to a certain percentage of the Company’s excess cash flow for such year, ranging from 0% to 75% depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, less the amount of certain voluntary prepayments made by the Company, if any, under the TLB Facility during such fiscal year. As a result of achieving certain financial metrics, the Company is not required to make an excess cash flow payment with respect to the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary events of default, including with respect to a failure to make payments when due, cross-default and cross-judgment default and certain bankruptcy and insolvency events.

At March 31, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility and the facility is currently only used for providing letters of credit, with $145 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $115 million of unused capacity. From time to time, CONSOL Energy is required to post financial assurances to satisfy contractual and other requirements generated in the normal course of business. Some of these assurances are posted to comply with federal, state or other government agencies' statutes and regulations. CONSOL Energy sometimes uses letters of credit to satisfy these requirements and these letters of credit reduce the Company's borrowing facility capacity.

Securitization Facility

On November 30, 2017, (1)(i) CONSOL Marine Terminals LLC, as an originator of receivables, (ii) CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC (“CONSOL Pennsylvania”), as an originator of receivables and as initial servicer of the receivables for itself and the other originators (collectively, the “Originators”), each a wholly-owned subsidiary of CONSOL Energy, and (iii) CONSOL Funding LLC (the “SPV”), a Delaware special purpose entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of CONSOL Energy, as buyer, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) and (2)(i) CONSOL Thermal Holdings LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of PA Mining Complex LP, as sub-originator (the “Sub-Originator”), and (ii) CONSOL Pennsylvania, as buyer and as initial servicer of the receivables for itself and the Sub-Originator, entered into a Sub-Originator Sale Agreement (the “Sub-Originator PSA”). In addition, on November 30, 2017, the SPV entered into a Receivables Financing Agreement (the “Receivables Financing Agreement”) by and among (i) the SPV, as borrower, (ii) CONSOL Pennsylvania, as initial servicer, (iii) PNC Bank, as administrative agent, LC Bank and lender, and (iv) the additional persons from time to time party thereto as lenders. Together, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Sub-Originator PSA and the Receivables Financing Agreement establish the primary terms and conditions of an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization”). In March 2020, the securitization facility was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date from August 30, 2021 to March 27, 2023. In July 2022, the securitization facility was again amended to extend the maturity date to July 29, 2025.

Pursuant to the Securitization, (i) the Sub-Originator sells current and future trade receivables to CONSOL Pennsylvania and (ii) the Originators sell and/or contribute current and future trade receivables (including receivables sold to CONSOL Pennsylvania by the Sub-Originator) to the SPV and the SPV, in turn, pledges its interests in the receivables to PNC Bank, N.A., which either makes loans or issues letters of credit on behalf of the SPV. The maximum amount of advances and letters of credit outstanding under the Securitization may not exceed $100 million.

Loans under the Securitization accrue interest at a reserve-adjusted market index rate equal to the applicable term SOFR rate. Loans and letters of credit under the Securitization also accrue a program fee and a letter of credit participation fee, respectively, ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum depending on the total net leverage ratio of CONSOL Energy. In addition, the SPV paid certain structuring fees to PNC Capital Markets LLC and pays other customary fees to the lenders, including a fee on unused commitments equal to 0.60% per annum.

The SPV’s assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations owed to the creditors of CONSOL Energy, the Sub-Originator or any of the Originators. The Sub-Originator, the Originators and CONSOL Pennsylvania as servicer are independently liable for their own customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. In

40

addition, CONSOL Energy has guaranteed the performance of the obligations of the Sub-Originator, the Originators and CONSOL Pennsylvania as servicer, and will guarantee the obligations of any additional originators or successor servicer that may become party to the Securitization. However, neither CONSOL Energy nor its affiliates will guarantee collectability of receivables or the creditworthiness of obligors thereunder.

The agreements comprising the Securitization contain various customary representations and warranties, covenants and default provisions which provide for the termination and acceleration of the commitments and loans under the Securitization in certain circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, breach of representation, warranty or covenant, certain insolvency events or failure to maintain the security interest in the trade receivables, and defaults under other material indebtedness.

At March 31, 2023, eligible accounts receivable yielded $42 million of borrowing capacity. At March 31, 2023, the facility had no outstanding borrowings and approximately $41 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $1 million of unused capacity. Costs associated with the receivables facility were less than $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company has not derecognized any receivables due to its continued involvement in the collections efforts.

11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025

On November 13, 2017, the Company issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025 (the “Second Lien Notes”) pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of November 13, 2017, by and between the Company and UMB Bank, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee and collateral trustee (the “Trustee”). On November 28, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Company executed a supplement to the Indenture and became party to the Indenture as a guarantor (the “Guarantors”). The Second Lien Notes are secured by second priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors that are pledged on a first-priority basis as collateral securing the Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (described above), subject to certain exceptions under the Indenture.

Since November 15, 2021, the Company has been permitted to redeem all or part of the Second Lien Notes at the redemption prices set forth below beginning on November 15 of the years indicated, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the rights of holders of the Second Lien Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date):

Year	Percentage
2021	105.50%
2022	102.75%
2023 and thereafter	100.00%

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company partially redeemed its Second Lien Notes at a redemption price of 102.75% of the stated principal outstanding in the amount of $50 million and announced an additional $25 million redemption at 102.75% that will settle on May 26, 2023. Prior to November 15, 2021, the Company was permitted to redeem all or a part of the Second Lien Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium, as defined in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the rights of holders of the Second Lien Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and the Guarantors, to (i) incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; (ii) create liens to secure indebtedness; (iii) declare or pay dividends on the Company’s common stock, redeem stock or make other distributions to the Company’s stockholders; (iv) make investments; (v) restrict dividends, loans or other asset transfers from the Company’s restricted subsidiaries; (vi) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of the Company’s assets; (vii) sell or otherwise dispose of certain assets, including equity interests in subsidiaries; (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. If the Second Lien Notes achieve an investment grade rating from both Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and no default under the Indenture exists, many of the foregoing covenants will terminate and cease to apply. The Indenture also contains customary events of default, including (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Second Lien Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal or premium, if any, on the Second Lien Notes at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (iii) covenant defaults; (iv) cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, and (v) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of the Guarantors. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Second Lien

41

Notes may declare all the Second Lien Notes to be due and payable immediately. If an event of default arises from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Company, any restricted subsidiary of the Company that is a significant subsidiary or any group of restricted subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a significant subsidiary, all outstanding Second Lien Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.

If the Company experiences certain kinds of changes of control, holders of the Second Lien Notes will be entitled to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of that holder’s Second Lien Notes pursuant to an offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture. The Company will offer to make a cash payment equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Second Lien Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of holders of the Second Lien Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

The Second Lien Notes were issued in a private offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A and to persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority Bonds

In April 2021, CONSOL Energy borrowed the proceeds received from the sale of tax-exempt bonds issued by PEDFA in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million (the “PEDFA Bonds”). The PEDFA Bonds bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.00% for an initial term of seven years. The PEDFA Bonds mature on April 1, 2051 but are subject to mandatory purchase by the Company on April 13, 2028, at the expiration of the initial term rate period. The PEDFA Bonds were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “PEDFA Indenture”) dated as of April 1, 2021, by and between PEDFA and Wilmington Trust, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (the “PEDFA Notes Trustee”). PEDFA made a loan of the proceeds of the PEDFA Bonds to the Company pursuant to a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated as of April 1, 2021 between PEDFA and the Company. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company agreed to make all payments of principal, interest and other amounts at any time due on the PEDFA Bonds or under the PEDFA Indenture. PEDFA assigned its rights as lender under the Loan Agreement, excluding certain reserved rights, to the PEDFA Notes Trustee. Certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “PEDFA Notes Guarantors”) executed a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) dated as of April 1, 2021 in favor of the PEDFA Notes Trustee, guarantying the obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement to pay the PEDFA Bonds when and as due. The obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement and of the PEDFA Notes Guarantors under the Guaranty are secured by second priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the PEDFA Notes Guarantors on parity with the Second Lien Notes. The Loan Agreement and Guaranty incorporate by reference covenants in the Indenture under which the Second Lien Notes were issued (discussed previously).

Material Cash Requirements

CONSOL Energy expects to make payments of $90 million on its long-term debt obligations, including interest and discretionary accelerated debt repayments, in the next 12 months. Refer to Note 13 – Long-Term Debt of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information concerning material cash requirements in future years.

CONSOL Energy expects to make payments of $27 million on its operating and finance lease obligations, including interest, in the next 12 months. Refer to Note 14 – Leases of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information concerning material cash requirements in future years.

CONSOL Energy expects to make payments of $49 million on its employee-related long-term liabilities in the next 12 months. Refer to Note 15 – Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans and Note 16 – Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis and Workers’ Compensation of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional information concerning material cash requirements in future years.

CONSOL Energy believes it will be able to satisfy these material requirements with cash generated from operations, cash on hand, short-term investments, borrowings under the revolving credit facility and securitization facility, and, if necessary, cash generated from its ability to issue additional equity or debt securities.

Debt

At March 31, 2023, CONSOL Energy had total long-term debt and finance lease obligations of $290 million outstanding, including the current portion of long-term debt of $25 million. This long-term debt consisted of:

•An aggregate principal amount of $103 million of industrial revenue bonds which were issued to finance the Baltimore port facility, which bear interest at 5.75% per annum and mature in September 2025. Interest on the industrial revenue bonds is payable March 1 and September 1 of each year. Payment of the principal and interest on the notes is guaranteed by CONSOL Energy.

•An aggregate principal amount of $75 million of PEDFA Bonds, which were issued to finance the ongoing expansion of the coal refuse disposal area at the Central Preparation Plant, which bear interest at 9.00% per annum for an initial term of seven years and mature in April 2051. Interest on the PEDFA Bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year.

•An aggregate principal amount of $49 million of Second Lien Notes. Interest on the notes is payable May 15 and November 15 of each year.

•An aggregate principal amount of $30 million of finance leases with a weighted average interest rate of 6.62%

•An aggregate principal amount of $24 million in connection with the TLB Facility, due in September 2024. Borrowings under the TLB Facility bear interest at a floating rate.

•Advanced royalty commitments of $8 million with a weighted average interest rate of 8.09% per annum.

•An aggregate principal amount of $1 million of other debt arrangements.

At March 31, 2023, CONSOL Energy had no borrowings outstanding and approximately $145 million of letters of credit outstanding under the $260 million senior secured Revolving Credit Facility. At March 31, 2023, CONSOL Energy had no borrowings outstanding and approximately $41 million of letters of credit outstanding under the $100 million Securitization Facility.

Stock and Debt Repurchases

In December 2017, CONSOL Energy’s Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase, from time to time, the Company's outstanding shares of common stock or its Second Lien Notes. Since the program's inception, the Company's Board of Directors has subsequently amended the program several times, the most recent of which amendment in April 2023 raised the aggregate limit of the Company's repurchase authority to $1 billion. The program expires on December 31, 2024.

Under the terms of the program, CONSOL Energy is permitted to make repurchases in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, accelerated repurchase programs or in structured share repurchase programs. CONSOL Energy is also authorized to enter into one or more 10b5-1 plans with respect to any of the repurchases. Any repurchases of common stock or notes are to be funded from available cash on hand or short-term borrowings. The program does not obligate CONSOL Energy to acquire any particular amount of its common stock or notes, and the program can be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. The program is conducted in compliance with applicable legal requirements and within the limits imposed by any credit agreement, receivables purchase agreement or indenture.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not make any open market repurchases of its Second Lien Notes in accordance with this program. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased and retired 1,207,409 shares of the Company's common stock at an average price of $55.60 per share.

Total Equity and Dividends

Total equity attributable to CONSOL Energy was $1,281 million at March 31, 2023 and $1,166 million at December 31, 2022. See the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional details.

The declaration and payment of dividends by CONSOL Energy is subject to the discretion of CONSOL Energy's Board of Directors, and no assurance can be given that CONSOL Energy will pay dividends in the future. The determination to pay dividends in the future will depend upon, among other things, general business conditions, CONSOL Energy's financial results, contractual and legal restrictions regarding the payment of dividends by CONSOL Energy, planned investments by CONSOL Energy and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. The Company's Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Indenture to the Second Lien Notes limit CONSOL Energy's ability to pay dividends based on certain covenants. At March 31, 2023, the available capacity from which the Company can pay dividends was approximately $362 million. The capacity available to pay future dividends will increase as the Company generates earnings and free cash flow, as defined within the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Indenture to the Second Lien Notes.

On May 2, 2023, CONSOL Energy announced a $1.10/share dividend in an aggregate amount of approximately $37 million, payable on May 23, 2023 to all stockholders of record as of May 15, 2023.

Critical Accounting Estimates

CONSOL Energy prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There have been no material changes to the Company's critical accounting estimates from the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from results expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. The forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, revenues, income and capital spending. When we use the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or their negatives, or other similar expressions, the statements which include those words are usually forward-looking statements. When we describe strategy that involves risks or uncertainties, we are making forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by securities law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties relate to, among other matters, the following:

•deterioration in economic conditions or changes in consumption patterns of our customers may decrease demand for our products, impair our ability to collect customer receivables and impair our ability to access capital;

•volatility and wide fluctuation in coal prices based upon a number of factors beyond our control;

•an extended decline in the prices we receive for our coal affecting our operating results and cash flows;

•significant downtime of our equipment or inability to obtain equipment, parts or raw materials;

•decreases in the availability of, or increases in the price of, commodities or capital equipment used in our coal mining operations;

•our reliance on major customers, our ability to collect payment from our customers and uncertainty in connection with our customer contracts;

•our inability to acquire additional coal reserves or resources that are economically recoverable;

•the availability and reliability of transportation facilities and other systems that deliver our coal to market and fluctuations in transportation costs;

•a loss of our competitive position;

•foreign currency fluctuations that could adversely affect the competitiveness of our coal abroad;

44

•the risks related to the fact that a significant portion of our production is sold in international markets and our compliance with export control and anticorruption laws;

•coal users switching to other fuels in order to comply with various environmental standards related to coal combustion emissions;

•the impact of current and future regulations to address climate change, the discharge, disposal and clean-up of hazardous substances and wastes and employee health and safety on our operating costs as well as on the market for coal;

•the risks inherent in coal operations, including being subject to unexpected disruptions caused by adverse geological conditions, equipment failure, delays in moving out longwall equipment, railroad derailments, security breaches or terroristic acts and other hazards, delays in the completion of significant construction or repair of equipment, fires, explosions, seismic activities, accidents and weather conditions;

•failure to obtain or renew surety bonds or insurance coverages on acceptable terms;

•the effects of coordinating our operations with oil and natural gas drillers and distributors operating on our land;

•our inability to obtain financing for capital expenditures on satisfactory terms;

•the effect of new or existing tariffs and other trade measures;

•our inability to find suitable acquisition targets or integrating the operations of future acquisitions into our operations;

•obtaining, maintaining and renewing governmental permits and approvals for our coal operations;

•the effects of asset retirement obligations, employee-related long-term liabilities and certain other liabilities;

•uncertainties in estimating our economically recoverable coal reserves;

•the outcomes of various legal proceedings, including those which are more fully described herein;

•defects in our chain of title for our undeveloped reserves or failure to acquire additional property to perfect our title to coal rights;

•the risk of our debt agreements, our debt and changes in interest rates affecting our operating results and cash flows;

•information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss resulting from a terrorist attack or cyber incident;

•the potential failure to retain and attract qualified personnel of the Company;

•failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting;

•uncertainty with respect to the Company’s common stock, potential stock price volatility and future dilution;

•uncertainty regarding the timing and value of any dividends we may declare;

•uncertainty as to whether we will repurchase shares of our common stock or outstanding debt securities;

•inability of stockholders to bring legal action against us in any forum other than the state courts of Delaware; and

•other unforeseen factors.

The above list of factors is not exhaustive or necessarily in order of importance. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include those discussed under “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this report and the other filings we make with the SEC. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's exposures to market risk have not materially changed since December 31, 2022. Please see these quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk in Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

CONSOL Energy, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including CONSOL Energy's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, CONSOL Energy's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2023 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by CONSOL Energy in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and includes controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by CONSOL Energy in such reports is accumulated and communicated to CONSOL Energy's management, including CONSOL Energy's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

45

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Our operations are subject to a variety of risks and disputes normally incidental to our business. As a result, we may, at any given time, be a defendant in various legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. However, we are not currently subject to any material litigation, except as disclosed in Note 13 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, incorporated herein by this reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, you should carefully consider the factors described in “Part 1 - Item 1A. Risk Factors” of CONSOL Energy's 2022 Form 10-K. These described risks are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to CONSOL Energy or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect CONSOL Energy's business, financial condition and/or operating results.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The following table sets forth repurchases of the Company's common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2023:

	(a)	(b)		(c)	(d)
Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased (1)	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares that May Yet be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (000s omitted) (2)
January 1, 2023 - January 31, 2023	—	$	—	—	$	372,569	(3)
February 1, 2023 - February 28, 2023	541,471	$	54.61	541,471	$	342,998	(3)
March 1, 2023 - March 31, 2023	665,938	$	56.41	665,938	$	305,436	(3)

(1) In December 2017, CONSOL Energy's Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase, from time to time, the Company's outstanding shares of common stock or its 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025. Since the inception of the program, CONSOL Energy Inc.'s Board of Directors has amended the program on several separate occasions. As a result of such amendments, the Company may now repurchase up to $1 billion of its stock and debt until December 31, 2024. As of May 2, 2023, approximately $705 million remained available under the stock and debt repurchase program. The repurchases will be effected from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions or under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. The program does not obligate CONSOL Energy to acquire any particular amount of its common stock or notes, and the program can be modified or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion.

(2) Management cannot estimate the number of shares that will be repurchased because purchases are made based upon the Company's stock price, the Company's financial outlook and alternative investment options.

(3) In the three months ended March 31, 2023, CONSOL Energy executed approximately $67.133 million of repurchases of its common stock.

46

Dividends

In the third quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Company initiated an enhanced shareholder capital return program. The Company currently intends, subject to the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors, to return a planned aggregate of approximately 75% of the Company's quarterly free cash flow in the form of dividends and/or repurchases of shares of common stock. However, the declaration and payment of dividends by CONSOL Energy is subject to the discretion of CONSOL Energy's Board of Directors, and no assurance can be given that CONSOL Energy will continue to pay dividends in the future. The determination to pay dividends in the future will depend upon, among other things, general business conditions, CONSOL Energy's financial results, contractual and legal restrictions regarding the payment of dividends by CONSOL Energy, planned investments by CONSOL Energy and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. The Company's Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Indenture to the Second Lien Notes limit CONSOL Energy's ability to pay dividends based on certain covenants.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

The information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.104) is included in Exhibit 95 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Exhibit 95

Mine Safety and Health Administration Safety Data

We believe that CONSOL Energy is one of the safest mining companies in the world. The Company has in place health and safety programs that include extensive employee training, accident prevention, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation, regulatory compliance and program auditing. The objectives of our health and safety programs are to eliminate workplace incidents, comply with all mining-related regulations and provide support for both regulators and the industry to improve mine safety.

The operation of our mines is subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act). MSHA inspects our mines on a regular basis and issues various citations, orders and violations when it believes a violation has occurred under the Mine Act. We present information below regarding certain mining safety and health violations, orders and citations, issued by MSHA and related assessments and legal actions and mine-related fatalities with respect to our coal mining operations. In evaluating this information, consideration should be given to factors such as: (i) the number of violations, orders and citations will vary depending on the size of the coal mine, (ii) the number of violations, orders and citations issued will vary from inspector to inspector and mine to mine, and (iii) violations, orders and citations can be contested and appealed, and in that process, are often reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed.

The table below sets forth for the three months ended March 31, 2023 for each coal mine of CONSOL Energy and its subsidiaries, the total number of: (i) violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a coal or other mine safety or health hazard under section 104 of the Mine Act for which the operator received a citation from MSHA; (ii) orders issued under section 104(b) of the Mine Act; (iii) citations and orders for unwarrantable failure of the mine operator to comply with mandatory health or safety standards under section 104(d) of the Mine Act; (iv) flagrant violations under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act; (v) imminent danger orders issued under section 107(a) of the Mine Act; (vi) the total dollar value of proposed assessments from MSHA (regardless of whether CONSOL Energy has challenged or appealed the assessment); (vii) the total number of mining-related fatalities; (viii) notices from MSHA of a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of coal or other mine health or safety hazards under section 104(e) of the Mine Act; (ix) notices from MSHA regarding the potential to have a pattern of violations as referenced in (viii) above; and (x) pending legal actions before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (as of March 31, 2023) involving such coal or other mine, as well as the aggregate number of legal actions instituted and the aggregate number of legal actions resolved during the reporting period.

(a) Represents (if any) contests of citations and orders, which typically are filed prior to an operator's receipt of a proposed penalty assessment from MSHA or relate to orders for which penalties are not assessed (such as imminent danger orders under Section 107 of the Mine Act). This category includes: (i) contests of citations or orders issued under section 104 of the Mine Act, (ii) contests of imminent danger withdrawal orders under section 107 of the Mine Act, and (iii) Emergency response plan dispute proceedings (as required under the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006, Pub. L. No. 109-236, 120 Stat. 493).

(b) Represents (if any) contests of proposed penalties, which are administrative proceedings before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (“FMSHRC”) challenging a civil penalty that MSHA has proposed for the violation contained in a citation or order.

(c) Represents (if any) complaints for compensation, which are cases under section 111 of the Mine Act that may be filed with the FMSHRC by miners idled by a closure order issued by MSHA who are entitled to compensation.

(d) Represents (if any) complaints of discharge, discrimination or interference under section 105 of the Mine Act, which cover: (i) discrimination proceedings involving a miner's allegation that he or she has suffered adverse employment action because he or she engaged in activity protected under the Mine Act, such as making a safety complaint, and (ii) temporary reinstatement proceedings involving cases in which a miner has filed a complaint with MSHA stating that he or she has suffered such discrimination and has lost his or her position. Complaints of Discharge, Discrimination, or Interference are also included in Contests of Proposed Penalties, Column B.

(e) Represents (if any) applications for temporary relief, which are applications under section 105(b)(2) of the Mine Act for temporary relief from any modification or termination of any order or from any order issued under section 104 of the Mine Act (other than citations issued under section 104(a) or (f) of the Mine Act).

(f) Represents (if any) appeals of judges' decisions or orders to the FMSHRC, including petitions for discretionary review and review by the FMSHRC on its own motion.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022 has been derived from the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. This Form 10-Q report should be read in conjunction with CONSOL Energy Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

All dollar amounts discussed in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are in thousands of U.S. dollars, except for per share amounts, and unless otherwise indicated.

Basis of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CONSOL Energy Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-02 - Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). The amendments in this update permit reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The amendments in this update apply to all reporting entities that hold (1) tax equity investments that meet the conditions for and elect to account for them using the proportional amortization method or (2) an investment in a low-income-housing tax credit (LIHTC) structure through a limited liability entity that is not accounted for using the proportional amortization method and to which certain LIHTC-specific guidance removed from Subtopic 323-740, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures—Income Taxes, has been applied. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, but does not expect this update to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The amendments in this update eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments in this update require that an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance in the three months ended March 31, 2023, and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 - Business Combinations (Topic 805). The amendments in this update apply to all entities that enter into a business combination within the scope of Subtopic 805-10, Business Combinations—Overall. The amendments in this update require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The amendments in this update do not affect the accounting for other assets or liabilities that may arise from revenue contracts with customers in accordance with Topic 606. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance in the three months ended March 31, 2023, and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive earnings per share are computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include additional shares from restricted stock units and performance share units, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding restricted stock units and performance share units were released, and that the proceeds from such activities, as applicable, were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period.

The table below sets forth the share-based awards that have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023	2022
Anti-Dilutive Restricted Stock Units	67,420	952,942
Anti-Dilutive Performance Share Units	1,854	94,904
	69,274	1,047,846

The computations for basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per share are as follows:

Dilutive	$	6.55	$	(0.13)

*During periods in which the Company incurs a net loss, diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal to basic weighted average shares outstanding because the effect of all equity awards would be anti-dilutive.

As of March 31, 2023, CONSOL Energy has 500,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, none of which are issued or outstanding.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the report classifications of the current period. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total assets, stockholders' equity, net income or cash flows from operating activities.

Coal Revenue

The Company has disaggregated its coal revenue, derived from the PAMC and Itmann Mining Complex, between domestic and export revenues, as well as industrial, power generation and metallurgical markets. Domestic coal revenue tends to be derived from contracts that typically have a term of one year or longer, and the pricing is typically fixed. Historically, export coal revenue tended to be derived from spot or shorter-term contracts with pricing determined closer to the time of shipment or based on a market index; however, the Company has recently begun to secure several long-term export contracts with varying pricing arrangements. Coal revenue derived from the Itmann Mining Complex consists primarily of metallurgical coal sales, while coal revenue derived from the PAMC services all markets due to the nature of its coal quality characteristics.

CONSOL Energy's coal revenue is recognized when the performance obligation has been satisfied, and the corresponding transaction price has been determined. Generally, title passes when coal is loaded at the coal preparation facilities, at terminal locations or other customer destinations. The Company's coal contract revenue per ton is fixed and determinable based upon either fixed forward pricing or pricing derived from established indices and adjusted for nominal quality characteristics. Some coal contracts also contain positive electric power price-related adjustments, which represent market-driven price adjustments, wherein no additional value is exchanged, in addition to a fixed base price per ton. The Company’s coal contracts generally do not allow for retroactive adjustments to pricing after title to the coal has passed and typically do not have significant financing components.

The estimated transaction price from each of the Company's contracts is based on the total amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled under the contract. Included in the transaction price for certain coal supply contracts is the impact of variable consideration, including quality price adjustments, handling services and per ton price fluctuations based on certain coal sales price indices. The estimated transaction price for each contract is allocated to the Company's performance obligations based on relative stand-alone selling prices determined at contract inception. The Company has determined that each ton of coal represents a separate and distinct performance obligation. Some of the Company's contracts span multiple years and have annual pricing modifications, based upon market-driven or inflationary adjustments, where no additional value is exchanged.

While CONSOL Energy does, from time to time, experience costs of obtaining coal customer contracts with amortization periods greater than one year, those costs are generally immaterial. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any capitalized costs to obtain customer contracts on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has not recognized any amortization of previously existing capitalized costs of obtaining customer contracts. Further, the Company has not recognized any coal revenue in the current period that is not a result of current period performance.

Terminal Revenue

Terminal revenues are attributable to the Company's CONSOL Marine Terminal and include revenues earned from providing receipt and unloading of coal from rail cars, transporting coal from the receipt point to temporary storage or stockpile facilities located at the Terminal, stockpiling, blending, weighing, sampling, redelivery, and loading of coal onto vessels. Revenues for these services are earned and performance obligations are considered fulfilled as the services are performed.

The CONSOL Marine Terminal does not normally experience material costs of obtaining customer contracts with amortization periods greater than one year. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any capitalized costs to obtain customer contracts on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has not recognized any amortization of previously existing capitalized costs of obtaining Terminal customer contracts. Further, the Company has not recognized any revenue in the current period that is not a result of current period performance.

Freight Revenue

Some of CONSOL Energy's coal contracts require that the Company sell its coal at locations other than its coal preparation plants. The cost to transport the Company's coal to the ultimate sales point is passed through to the Company's customers and CONSOL Energy recognizes the freight revenue equal to the transportation costs when title of the coal passes to the customer.

Contract Balances

Contract assets, when present, are recorded separately from trade receivables in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reclassified to trade receivables as title passes to the customer and the Company's right to consideration becomes unconditional. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition and a customer's ability to perform its obligations. CONSOL Energy typically does not have material contract assets that are stated separately from trade receivables since the Company's performance obligations are satisfied as control of the goods or services passes to the customer, thereby granting the Company an unconditional right to receive consideration. Contract liabilities relate to consideration received in advance of the satisfaction of the Company's performance obligations. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue at the point in time when control of the goods passes to the customer, or over time when services are provided.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

INCOME TAXES:

The Company recorded its provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of $41,593, or 15.3%, of earnings before income taxes, based on its annual estimated income tax rate adjusted for discrete items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the tax benefit for excess percentage depletion and foreign derived intangible income. These tax provision amounts also include discrete tax adjustments primarily related to equity compensation.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of ($3,522), or 44.2%, of earnings before income taxes was based on the Company's annual estimated income tax rate adjusted for discrete items. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to discrete tax benefits related to equity compensation, as well as effective tax rate impacts of excess percentage depletion and foreign derived intangible income, partially offset by compensation.

On August 16, 2022, the President of the United States signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This legislation does not have a material impact on the Company's current financial statements.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and certain of its various states, as well as Canada and certain of its various provinces. The Company is subject to examination for the tax periods 2018 through 2022 for federal and state returns.

Credit Loss [Abstract]

Credit Losses

CREDIT LOSSES:

Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company markets its coal to top-performing rail-served power plants in its core market areas and to industrial and metallurgical consumers in international markets. The Company also provides terminal services to facilitate the exporting of coal from both Company coal sales and third-party transactions. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer's financial condition, the importance of the customer or market for future business and a customer's ability to perform its obligations. Trade receivable balances are monitored against approved credit terms. Credit terms are reviewed and adjusted as considered necessary based on changes to a customer's credit profile. If a customer's credit deteriorates, the Company may reduce credit risk exposure by reducing credit terms, obtaining letters of credit, obtaining credit insurance, or requiring pre-payment for shipments. Other non-trade contractual arrangements consist primarily of overriding royalty agreements and other financial arrangements between the Company and various counterparties.

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The Company's expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade and other accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on an aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company's monitoring activities include timely account reconciliations, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible.

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for changes to the assessment of anticipated payment, changes in economic conditions, current industry trends in the markets the Company serves, and changes in the financial health of the Company's counterparties.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected.

Accounts Receivable Securitization

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION:

At March 31, 2023, CONSOL Energy and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries are parties to a trade accounts receivable securitization facility with financial institutions for the sale on a continuous basis of eligible trade accounts receivable. In March 2020, the securitization facility was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date from August 30, 2021 to March 27, 2023. In July 2022, the securitization facility was again amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date to July 29, 2025.

Pursuant to the securitization facility, CONSOL Thermal Holdings LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, sells current and future trade receivables to CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. CONSOL Marine Terminals LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC sell and/or contribute current and future trade receivables (including receivables sold to CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC by CONSOL Thermal Holdings LLC) to CONSOL Funding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “SPV”). The SPV, in turn, pledges its interests in the receivables to PNC Bank, N.A., which either makes loans or issues letters of credit on behalf of the SPV. The maximum amount of advances and letters of credit outstanding under the securitization facility may not exceed $100,000.

Loans under the securitization facility accrue interest at a reserve-adjusted market index rate equal to the applicable term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Loans and letters of credit under the securitization facility also accrue a program fee and a letter of credit participation fee, respectively, ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum depending on the total net leverage ratio of CONSOL Energy. In addition, the SPV paid certain structuring fees to PNC Capital Markets LLC and pays other customary fees to the lenders, including a fee on unused commitments equal to 0.60% per annum.

At March 31, 2023, the Company's eligible accounts receivable yielded $42,022 of borrowing capacity. At March 31, 2023, the facility had no outstanding borrowings and $40,922 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving available borrowing capacity of $1,100. At December 31, 2022, the Company's eligible accounts receivable yielded $85,179 of borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2022, the facility had no outstanding borrowings and $83,465 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving available borrowing capacity of $1,714. Costs associated with the receivables facility totaled $413 and $275 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company has not derecognized any receivables due to its continued involvement in the collections efforts.

Coal reserves are either owned in fee or controlled by lease. The duration of the leases vary; however, the lease terms are generally extended automatically to the exhaustion of economically recoverable reserves, as long as active mining continues. Coal interests held by lease provide the same rights as fee ownership for mineral extraction and are legally considered real property interests.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, property, plant and equipment includes gross assets under finance leases of $91,208 and $90,516, respectively. Accumulated amortization for finance leases was $60,928 and $54,028 at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Amortization expense for assets under finance leases approximated $6,901 and $6,230 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is included in Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

In November 2017, CONSOL Energy entered into a revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A. with commitments up to $300,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a Term Loan A Facility of up to $100,000 (the “TLA Facility”) and a Term Loan B Facility of up to $400,000 (the “TLB Facility”, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). On March 28, 2019, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to increase the borrowing commitment of the Revolving Credit Facility to $400,000 and reallocate the principal amounts outstanding under the TLA Facility and the TLB Facility. On June 5, 2020, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “2020 amendment”) to provide eight quarters of financial covenant relaxation, effect an increase in the rate at which borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility bear interest, and add an anti-cash hoarding provision. On March 29, 2021, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to revise the negative covenant with respect to other indebtedness to allow the Company to incur obligations under the tax-exempt solid waste disposal revenue bonds. On April 13, 2021, the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority (“PEDFA”) Solid Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds were issued. The Revolving Credit Facility was

further amended in July 2022 (the “2022 amendment”) to, among other things, extend the maturity date of $260,000 of borrowing commitments from March 28, 2023 to July 18, 2026. The Company maintained full access to the $400,000 available under the Revolving Credit Facility until March 28, 2023. As of March 28, 2023, the Company's borrowing limit under the Revolving Credit Facility was reduced to $260,000.

Borrowings under the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate that is, at the Company's option, either (i) SOFR plus the applicable SOFR adjustment (as defined therein) depending on the applicable interest period plus an applicable margin or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility depends on the total net leverage ratio, whereas the applicable margin for the TLB Facility is fixed. The 2020 amendment increased the applicable margin by 50 basis points on both the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility. The maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility is July 18, 2026 and the maturity date of the TLA Facility was March 28, 2023. The TLA Facility was paid in full on June 30, 2022. The TLB Facility's maturity date is September 28, 2024. Obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are guaranteed by (i) all owners of the PAMC held by the Company, (ii) any other members of the Company’s group that own any portion of the collateral securing the Revolving Credit Facility, and (iii) subject to certain customary exceptions and agreed materiality thresholds, all other existing or future direct or indirect wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of the Company. The obligations are secured by, subject to certain exceptions (including a limitation of pledges of equity interests in certain subsidiaries and certain thresholds with respect to real property), a first-priority lien on (i) the Company’s interest in the PAMC, (ii) the equity interests in PA Mining Complex LP held by the Company, (iii) the CONSOL Marine Terminal, (iv) the Itmann Mining Complex and (v) the 1.4 billion tons of Greenfield Reserves and Resources.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of customary affirmative covenants. In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of negative covenants, including (subject to certain exceptions) limitations on (among other things): indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions, restricted payments and prepayments of junior indebtedness. The 2020 amendment added additional conditions to be met for the covenants relating to investments in joint ventures, general investments, share repurchases, dividends and repurchases of Second Lien Notes (as defined below). The additional conditions require that the Company have no outstanding borrowings and no more than $200,000 of outstanding letters of credit on the Revolving Credit Facility. Further restrictions apply to investments in joint ventures, share repurchases and dividends that require the Company's total net leverage ratio shall not be greater than 2.00 to 1.00.

The Revolving Credit Facility also includes covenants relating to (i) a maximum first lien gross leverage ratio, (ii) a maximum total net leverage ratio, and (iii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. The maximum first lien gross leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA. Consolidated EBITDA, as used in the covenant calculation, excludes non-cash compensation expenses, non-recurring transaction expenses, extraordinary gains and losses, gains and losses on discontinued operations, non-cash charges related to legacy employee liabilities and gains and losses on debt extinguishment, and subtracts cash payments related to legacy employee liabilities. The maximum total net leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness, minus Cash on Hand, to Consolidated EBITDA. The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Fixed Charges. Consolidated Fixed Charges, as used in the covenant calculation, include cash interest payments, cash payments for income taxes, scheduled debt repayments, dividends paid and Maintenance Capital Expenditures. Under the Revolving Credit Facility, for the fiscal quarters ending on or after June 30, 2022, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 1.50 to 1.00, the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 2.50 to 1.00 and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio shall be 1.10 to 1.00.

The Company's first lien gross leverage ratio was 0.06 to 1.00 at March 31, 2023. The Company's total net leverage ratio was 0.02 to 1.00 at March 31, 2023. The Company's fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.68 to 1.00 at March 31, 2023. The Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as of March 31, 2023.

The TLB Facility also includes a financial covenant that requires the Company to repay a certain amount of its borrowings under the TLB Facility within ten business days after the date it files its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission if the Company has excess cash flow (as defined in the credit agreement for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) during the year covered by the applicable Annual Report on Form 10-K. As a result of achieving certain financial metrics as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company was not required to make an excess cash flow payment with respect to the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021. The required repayment is equal to a certain percentage of the Company’s excess cash flow for such year, ranging from 0% to 75% depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, less the amount of certain voluntary prepayments made by the Company, if any, under the TLB Facility during such fiscal year.

At March 31, 2023, the Revolving Credit Facility had no borrowings outstanding and $145,176 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $114,824 of unused capacity. At December 31, 2022, the Revolving Credit Facility had no borrowings outstanding and $103,029 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $296,971 of unused capacity. From time to time,

CONSOL Energy is required to post financial assurances to satisfy contractual and other requirements generated in the normal course of business. Some of these assurances are posted to comply with federal, state or other government agencies' statutes and regulations. CONSOL Energy sometimes uses letters of credit to satisfy these requirements and these letters of credit reduce the Company's borrowing facility capacity.

Second Lien Notes

In November 2017, CONSOL Energy issued $300,000 in aggregate principal amount of 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025 (the “Second Lien Notes”) pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of November 13, 2017, by and between the Company and UMB Bank, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee and collateral trustee (the “Trustee”). On November 28, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Company executed a supplement to the Indenture and became party to the Indenture as a guarantor (the “Guarantors”). The Second Lien Notes are secured by second priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors that are pledged on a first-priority basis as collateral securing the Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (described above), subject to certain exceptions under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and the Guarantors to (i) incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; (ii) create liens to secure indebtedness; (iii) declare or pay dividends on the Company’s common stock, redeem stock or make other distributions to the Company’s stockholders; (iv) make investments; (v) restrict dividends, loans or other asset transfers from the Company’s restricted subsidiaries; (vi) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of the Company’s assets; (vii) sell or otherwise dispose of certain assets, including equity interests in subsidiaries; (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. If the Second Lien Notes achieve an investment grade rating from both Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and no default under the Indenture exists, many of the foregoing covenants will terminate and cease to apply.

The SPV is a non-guarantor subsidiary of the Second Lien Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and the SPV holds the assets pledged to the lender in the securitization facility. The SPV had total assets of $150,132 and $158,877, comprised mainly of $149,404 and $158,127 trade receivables, net, at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Net income attributable to the SPV was $2,622 and $684 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which primarily reflected intercompany fees related to purchasing the receivables, which are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no borrowings or payments under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. See Note 9 - Accounts Receivable Securitization for additional information.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company spent $51,375 to redeem $50,000 of its outstanding Second Lien Notes. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company spent $26,387 to repurchase $25,000 of its outstanding Second Lien Notes. As a result of these transactions, $1,375 and $2,122 was included in Loss on Debt Extinguishment on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

PEDFA Bonds

In April 2021, CONSOL Energy borrowed the proceeds received from the sale of tax-exempt bonds issued by PEDFA in an aggregate principal amount of $75,000 (the “PEDFA Bonds”). The PEDFA Bonds bear interest at a fixed rate of 9.00% for an initial term of seven years. The PEDFA Bonds mature on April 1, 2051 but are subject to mandatory purchase by the Company on April 13, 2028, at the expiration of the initial term rate period. The PEDFA Bonds were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “PEDFA Indenture”) dated as of April 1, 2021, by and between PEDFA and Wilmington Trust, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee (the “PEDFA Notes Trustee”). PEDFA made a loan of the proceeds of the PEDFA Bonds to the Company pursuant to a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) dated as of April 1, 2021 between PEDFA and the Company. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company agreed to make all payments of principal, interest and other amounts at any time due on the PEDFA Bonds or under the PEDFA Indenture. PEDFA assigned its rights as lender under the Loan Agreement, excluding certain reserved rights, to the PEDFA Notes Trustee. Certain subsidiaries of the Company (the “PEDFA Notes Guarantors”) executed a Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty”) dated as of April 1, 2021 in favor of the PEDFA Notes Trustee, guarantying the obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement to pay the PEDFA Bonds when and as due. The obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement and of the PEDFA Notes Guarantors under the Guaranty are secured by second priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the PEDFA Notes Guarantors on parity with the Second Lien Notes. The Loan Agreement and Guaranty incorporate by reference covenants in the Indenture under which the Second Lien Notes were issued (discussed above).

The Company started a capital construction project on the PAMC coarse refuse disposal area in 2017, which is now funded, in part, by the $75,000 of PEDFA Bond proceeds loaned to the Company. The Company expects to expend these

funds as qualified work is completed. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company utilized restricted cash in the amount of $3,244 and $3,031, respectively, for qualified expenses. Additionally, the Company had $32,645 and $35,516 in restricted cash at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, associated with this financing that will be used to fund future spending on the coarse refuse disposal area.

Other Indebtedness

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into interest rate swaps, which effectively converted $150,000 of the TLB Facility's floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020 and 2021, and $50,000 of the TLB Facility's floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate for the twelve months ending December 31, 2022. The $50,000 interest rate swap was settled in August 2022 with the change in the floating rate on the TLB Facility to SOFR from LIBOR. The interest rate swaps qualified for cash flow hedge accounting treatment and as such, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps was recorded on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset or liability. The effective portion of the gains or losses was reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. No ineffective gains or losses were reported in earnings during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

The Company is subject to various lawsuits and claims with respect to such matters as personal injury, wrongful death, damage to property, exposure to hazardous substances, governmental regulations including environmental remediation, employment and contract disputes and other claims and actions arising out of the normal course of business. The Company accrues the estimated loss for these lawsuits and claims when the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company’s estimated accruals related to these pending claims, individually and in the aggregate, are immaterial to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company as of March 31, 2023. It is possible that the aggregate loss in the future with respect to these lawsuits and claims could ultimately be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, such amounts cannot be reasonably estimated. The amount claimed against the Company as of March 31, 2023 is disclosed below when an amount is expressly stated in the lawsuit or claim, which is not often the case.

Fitzwater Litigation: Three nonunion retired coal miners have sued Fola Coal Company LLC, Consolidation Coal Company (“CCC”) and CONSOL of Kentucky Inc. (“COK”) (as well as the Company's former parent) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia alleging ERISA violations in the termination of retiree health care benefits. The Plaintiffs contend they relied to their detriment on oral statements and promises of “lifetime health benefits” allegedly made by various members of management during Plaintiffs’ employment and that they were allegedly denied access to Summary Plan Documents that clearly reserved to the Company the right to modify or terminate the Retiree Health and Welfare Plan subject to Plaintiffs’ claims. Pursuant to Plaintiffs’ amended complaint filed on April 24, 2017, Plaintiffs request that retiree health benefits be reinstated and seek to represent a class of all nonunion retirees who were associated with AMVEST and COK areas of operation. On October 15, 2019, Plaintiffs’ supplemental motion for class certification was denied on all counts. On July 15, 2020, Plaintiffs filed an interlocutory appeal with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on the Order denying class certification. The Fourth Circuit denied Plaintiffs' appeal on August 14, 2020. On October 1, 2020, the District Court entered a pretrial order setting the trial date, which was held in February 2021. No ruling has been issued by the judge. The Company believes it has a meritorious defense and intends to vigorously defend this suit.

Casey Litigation: A class action lawsuit was filed on August 23, 2017 on behalf of two nonunion retired coal miners against CCC, COK, CONSOL Buchanan Mining Co., LLC and Kurt Salvatori, the Company's Chief Administrative Officer, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia alleging ERISA violations in the termination of retiree health care benefits. Filed by the same lawyers who filed the Fitzwater litigation, and raising nearly identical claims, the Plaintiffs contend they relied to their detriment on oral promises of “lifetime health benefits” allegedly made by various members of management during Plaintiffs’ employment and that they were not provided with copies of Summary Plan Documents clearly reserving to the Company the right to modify or terminate the Retiree Health and Welfare Plan. Plaintiffs request that retiree health benefits be reinstated for them and their dependents and seek to represent a class of all nonunion retirees of any subsidiary of the Company's former parent that operated or employed individuals in McDowell or Mercer Counties, West Virginia, or Buchanan or Tazewell Counties, Virginia whose retiree welfare benefits were terminated. On December 1, 2017, the trial court judge in Fitzwater signed an order to consolidate Fitzwater with Casey. The Casey complaint was amended on March 1, 2018 to add new plaintiffs, add defendant CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company, LLC and eliminate defendant CONSOL Buchanan Mining Co., LLC in an attempt to expand the class of retirees. On October 15, 2019, Plaintiffs’ supplemental motion for class certification was denied on all counts. On July 15, 2020, Plaintiffs filed an interlocutory appeal with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on the Order denying class certification. The Fourth Circuit denied Plaintiffs' appeal on August 14, 2020. On October 1, 2020, the District Court

entered a pretrial order setting the trial date, which was held in February 2021. No ruling has been issued by the judge. The Company believes it has a meritorious defense and intends to vigorously defend this suit.

United Mine Workers of America 1992 Benefit Plan Litigation: In 2013, Murray Energy and its subsidiaries (“Murray”) entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Murray sale agreement”) with the Company's former parent pursuant to which Murray acquired the stock of CCC and certain subsidiaries and certain other assets and liabilities. At the time of sale, the liabilities included certain retiree medical liabilities under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 (“Coal Act”) and certain federal black lung liabilities under the Black Lung Benefits Act (“BLBA”). Based upon information available, the Company estimates that the annual servicing costs of these liabilities are approximately $10 million to $20 million per year for the next ten years. The annual servicing cost would decline each year since the beneficiaries of the Coal Act consist principally of miners who retired prior to 1994. Murray filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2019. As part of the bankruptcy proceedings, Murray unilaterally entered into a settlement with the United Mine Workers of America 1992 Benefit Plant (the “1992 Benefit Plan”) to transfer retirees in the Murray Energy Section 9711 Plan to the 1992 Benefit Plan. This was approved by the bankruptcy court on April 30, 2020. On May 2, 2020, the 1992 Benefit Plan filed an action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia asking the court to make a determination whether the Company's former parent or the Company has any continuing retiree medical liabilities under the Coal Act (the “1992 Plan Lawsuit”). The Murray sale agreement includes indemnification by Murray with respect to the Coal Act and BLBA liabilities. In addition, the Company had agreed to indemnify its former parent relative to certain pre-separation liabilities. As of September 16, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Murray and withdrew its claims in bankruptcy. On September 11, 2020, the Defendants in the 1992 Plan Lawsuit filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint which was denied by the Court on March 29, 2022. The Company will continue to vigorously defend any claims that attempt to transfer any of such liabilities directly or indirectly to the Company, including raising all applicable defenses against the 1992 Benefit Plan’s suit. With respect to this lawsuit, while a loss is possible, it is not probable and, as a result, no accrual has been recorded.

Other Matters: On July 27, 2021, the Company's former parent informed the Company that it had received a request from the UMWA 1974 Pension Plan for information related to the facts and circumstances surrounding the former parent's 2013 sale of certain of its coal subsidiaries to Murray (the “Letter Request”). The Letter Request indicates that litigation by the UMWA 1974 Pension Plan against the Company's former parent related to potential withdrawal liabilities from the plan created by the 2019 bankruptcy of Murray is reasonably foreseeable. There has been no indication of potential claims against the Company by the UMWA 1974 Pension Plan and, at this time, no liability of the Company's former parent has been assessed.

The Company and various subsidiaries are defendants in certain other legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, based upon an investigation of these matters and discussion with legal counsel, the ultimate outcome of such other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The following is a summary, as of March 31, 2023, of the financial guarantees, unconditional purchase obligations and letters of credit to certain third parties. Employee-related financial guarantees have primarily been provided to support the 1992 Benefit Plan and federal black lung and various state workers' compensation self-insurance programs. Environmental financial guarantees have primarily been provided to support various performance bonds related to reclamation and other environmental issues. Other financial guarantees have been extended to support sales contracts, insurance policies, surety indemnity agreements, legal matters, full and timely payments of mining equipment leases, and various other items necessary in the normal course of business. These amounts represent the maximum potential of total future payments that the Company could be required to make under these instruments. Certain letters of credit included in the table below were issued against other commitments included in this table. These amounts have not been reduced for potential recoveries under recourse or collateralization provisions. Generally, recoveries under reclamation bonds would be limited to the extent of the work performed at the time of the default. No amounts related to these commitments are recorded as liabilities in the financial statements. The Company's management believes that these commitments will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.

	Amount of Commitment Expiration per Period
	Total Amounts Committed		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		Beyond 5 Years
Letters of Credit:

DERIVATIVES

Interest Rate Risk Management

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to manage exposures to interest rate risk on long-term debt in order to achieve a mix of fixed and variable rate debt that it deems appropriate. These interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges of future variable interest payments. The $50,000 interest rate swap was settled in August 2022 with the change in the floating rate on the TLB Facility to SOFR from LIBOR. For additional information on these arrangements, refer to Note 12 - Long-Term Debt.

Coal Price Risk Management Positions

The Company may sell or purchase forward contracts, swaps and options in the over-the-counter coal market in order to manage its exposure to coal prices. The Company has exposure to the risk of fluctuating coal prices related to forecasted or index-priced sales of coal or to the risk of changes in the fair value of a fixed price physical sales contract. All of the Company's coal-related derivative contracts were settled as of December 31, 2022.

Tabular Derivatives Disclosures

The Company had master netting agreements with all of its counterparties which allowed for the settlement of contracts in an asset position with contracts in a liability position in the event of default or termination. Such netting arrangements reduced the Company's credit exposure related to these counterparties to the extent the Company had any liability to such counterparties. For classification purposes, the Company recorded the net fair value of all the positions with a given counterparty as a net asset or liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of derivatives reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets are set forth in the table below.

	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Asset Derivatives		Liability Derivatives		Asset Derivatives		Liability Derivatives
Coal Swap Contracts	$	—	$	—	$	6,024	$	(21,166)
Effect of Counterparty Netting	—		—		(6,024)		6,024
Net Derivatives as Classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	(15,142)

The Company did not seek cash flow hedge accounting treatment for its commodity derivative financial instruments and therefore, changes in fair value were reflected in earnings throughout the terms of those instruments. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company settled a portion of its commodity derivatives at a loss of $86,252.

Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized adjustments to the fair value of its commodity derivatives of $101,902. These settlements and fair value adjustments were included in Loss on Commodity Derivatives, net on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company classified the cash effects of its derivatives within the Cash Flows from Operating Activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

CONSOL Energy determines the fair value of assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair values are based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations. The fair value hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources (including LIBOR-based discount rates, SOFR-based discount rates and U.S. Treasury-based rates), while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions of what market participants would use.

The fair value hierarchy includes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as described below.

Level One - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. The Company's Level 1 assets include marketable debt securities, primarily highly liquid U.S. Treasury securities.

Level Two - The fair value of the assets and liabilities included in Level 2 are based on standard industry income approach models that use significant observable inputs, including LIBOR-based discount rates, SOFR-based discount rates and U.S. Treasury-based rates. The Company's Level 2 assets and liabilities include coal commodity contracts with fair values derived from quoted prices in over-the-counter markets.

Level Three - Unobservable inputs significant to the fair value measurement supported by little or no market activity.

In those cases when the inputs used to measure fair value meet the definition of more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its totality determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy.

The financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

	Fair Value Measurements at						Fair Value Measurements at
	March 31, 2023						December 31, 2022
Description	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Commodity Derivatives	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	(15,142)	$	—
U.S. Treasury Securities	$	75,310	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value for which the fair value option was not elected:

Long-term debt: The fair value of long-term debt is measured using unadjusted quoted market prices or estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discounted cash flow analyses are based on current market rates for instruments with similar cash flows.

The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments for which the fair value option was not elected are as follows:

	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Long-Term Debt (Excluding Debt Issuance Costs)	$	260,409	$	276,346	$	350,572	$	365,789

Certain of the Company’s debt is actively traded on a public market and, as a result, constitutes Level 1 fair value measurements. The portion of the Company’s debt obligations that is not actively traded is valued through reference to the applicable underlying benchmark rate and, as a result, constitutes Level 2 fair value measurements.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

SEGMENT INFORMATION:

The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management to make decisions on and assess performance of the Company’s reportable segments. CONSOL Energy presently consists of two reportable segments, the PAMC and the CONSOL Marine Terminal. The PAMC includes the Bailey Mine, the Enlow Fork Mine, the Harvey Mine and a centralized preparation plant. The PAMC segment’s principal activities include the mining, preparation and marketing of bituminous coal, sold primarily to power generators, industrial end-users and metallurgical end-users. The CONSOL Marine Terminal provides coal export terminal services through the Port of Baltimore. General and administrative costs are allocated to the Company’s segments based on a percentage of resources utilized, a percentage of total revenue and a percentage of total projected capital expenditures. CONSOL Energy’s Other segment includes revenue and expenses from various corporate and diversified business activities that are not allocated to the PAMC or the CONSOL Marine Terminal segments. The diversified business activities include the Itmann Mining Complex, the Greenfield Reserves and Resources, closed mine activities, other income, gain on asset sales related to non-core assets, and gain/loss on debt extinguishment. Additionally, interest expense and income taxes, as well as various other non-operated activities, none of which are individually significant to the Company, are also reflected in CONSOL Energy's Other segment and are not allocated to the PAMC and CONSOL Marine Terminal segments.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and various sales and production metrics. Adjusted EBITDA measures the operating performance of the Company's segments and is used to allocate resources to the Company's segments.

Equity [Abstract]

Stock and Debt Repurchases

STOCK AND DEBT REPURCHASES:

In December 2017, CONSOL Energy’s Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase, from time to time, the Company's outstanding shares of common stock or its Second Lien Notes. Since the program's inception, the Company's Board of Directors has subsequently amended the program several times, the most recent of which amendment in August 2022 raised the aggregate limit of the Company's repurchase authority to $600,000 and extended the program until December 31, 2024.

Under the terms of the program, CONSOL Energy is permitted to make repurchases in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, accelerated repurchase programs or in structured share repurchase programs. CONSOL Energy is also authorized to enter into one or more 10b5-1 plans with respect to any of the repurchases. Any repurchases of common stock or notes are to be funded from available cash on hand or short-term borrowings. The program does not obligate CONSOL Energy to acquire any particular amount of its common stock or notes, and the program can be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. The program is conducted in compliance with applicable legal requirements and within the limits imposed by any credit agreement, receivables purchase agreement or indenture.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not make any open market repurchases of its Second Lien Notes in accordance with this program. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company spent $26,387 to repurchase $25,000 of its Second Lien Notes in accordance with this program. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company repurchased and retired 1,207,409 shares of the Company's common stock at an average price of $55.60 per share. No shares of common stock were repurchased under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-02 - Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). The amendments in this update permit reporting entities to elect to account for their tax equity investments, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received, using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The amendments in this update apply to all reporting entities that hold (1) tax equity investments that meet the conditions for and elect to account for them using the proportional amortization method or (2) an investment in a low-income-housing tax credit (LIHTC) structure through a limited liability entity that is not accounted for using the proportional amortization method and to which certain LIHTC-specific guidance removed from Subtopic 323-740, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures—Income Taxes, has been applied. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, but does not expect this update to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The amendments in this update eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. The amendments in this update require that an entity disclose current-period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance in the three months ended March 31, 2023, and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 - Business Combinations (Topic 805). The amendments in this update apply to all entities that enter into a business combination within the scope of Subtopic 805-10, Business Combinations—Overall. The amendments in this update require that an entity (acquirer) recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606. The amendments in this update do not affect the accounting for other assets or liabilities that may arise from revenue contracts with customers in accordance with Topic 606. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance in the three months ended March 31, 2023, and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive earnings per share are computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding is increased to include additional shares from restricted stock units and performance share units, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding restricted stock units and performance share units were released, and that the proceeds from such activities, as applicable, were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period.

The table below sets forth the share-based awards that have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023	2022
Anti-Dilutive Restricted Stock Units	67,420	952,942
Anti-Dilutive Performance Share Units	1,854	94,904
	69,274	1,047,846

The computations for basic and dilutive earnings (loss) per share are as follows:

*During periods in which the Company incurs a net loss, diluted weighted average shares outstanding are equal to basic weighted average shares outstanding because the effect of all equity awards would be anti-dilutive.

As of March 31, 2023, CONSOL Energy has 500,000 shares of preferred stock authorized, none of which are issued or outstanding.
