Olympus Energy Acquisition.

On July 1, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition (the Olympus Energy Acquisition) of certain oil and gas properties and related upstream and midstream assets, including approximately 90,000 net acres with approximately 500 MMcf per day of net production, from Olympus Energy LLC, Hyperion Midstream LLC and Bow & Arrow Land Company LLC (collectively, Olympus Energy) pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated April 22, 2025 (the Olympus Energy Purchase Agreement), by and among EQT, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EQT and Olympus Energy.

As set forth in the Olympus Energy Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the Olympus Energy Acquisition consisted of 26,031,237 shares of EQT common stock and $500 million in cash, in each case subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The Company funded the cash consideration with cash on hand and borrowings under EQT's revolving credit facility, and the Company issued 25,229,166 shares of EQT common stock, as adjusted in accordance with closing purchase price adjustments, to Olympus Energy and its designees at closing. In connection with its entry into the Olympus Energy Purchase Agreement, EQT deposited $90 million of cash into an escrow account, a portion of which was released to Olympus Energy as closing cash consideration. The Olympus Energy Purchase Agreement has an economic effective date of March 31, 2025.

The Company expects to account for the Olympus Energy Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method. Certain information necessary to complete a preliminary purchase price allocation is not yet available, including, but not limited to, appraisal estimates of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Equitrans Midstream Merger

On July 22, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition (the Equitrans Midstream Merger) of Equitrans Midstream Corporation (Equitrans Midstream) pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger dated March 10, 2024 (the Merger Agreement), by and among EQT, certain of EQT's indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and Equitrans Midstream.

Upon the completion of the Equitrans Midstream Merger, each share of common stock, no par value, of Equitrans Midstream (Equitrans Midstream common stock) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Equitrans Midstream Merger was converted into the right to receive, without interest, 0.3504 shares of EQT common stock, which totaled 152,427,848 shares of EQT common stock with an aggregate value of $5.5 billion, based on an EQT common stock share price of $35.88. In addition, in connection with the closing of the Equitrans Midstream Merger, the Company paid an aggregate of $79.5 million of equity consideration to employees of Equitrans Midstream who did not continue with the Company following the Equitrans Midstream Merger closing date. Immediately prior to the completion of the Equitrans Midstream Merger, on July 22, 2024, the Company paid $685.3 million to effect the purchase and redemption of all of the issued and outstanding Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares, no par value, of Equitrans Midstream (the Equitrans Midstream preferred stock). Upon completion of the Equitrans Midstream Merger, the pre-existing contractual relationships between the Company, as producer, and Equitrans Midstream, as gathering and transmission services provider, as well as the pre-existing note payable between EQT and EQM are treated as intercompany transactions on a consolidated basis and, as such, were effectively settled on July 22, 2024.
Allocation of Purchase Price. The Equitrans Midstream Merger was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method. The Company completed the purchase price allocation for the Equitrans Midstream Merger during the second quarter of 2025. The table below summarizes the final purchase price and estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of July 22, 2024, with the excess of purchase price over estimated fair value of the identified net assets recognized as goodwill. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded purchase accounting adjustments primarily related to deferred income taxes based on updated income tax computations as well as investments in unconsolidated entities and property, plant and equipment based on updated appraisal estimates.

Asset retirement obligations and other liabilities152,271 
Amount attributable to liabilities assumed$9,249,046 
Goodwill$2,062,462 
Goodwill is attributable to the Company's qualitative assumptions of long-term value that the Equitrans Midstream Merger creates for EQT shareholders. Of the total goodwill, the Company attributed $1,232 million to synergies expected from the vertical integration of the business, including from the elimination of contracted transportation and processing costs with Equitrans Midstream as the Company is unable to recognize intangible assets related to its significant long-term customer contracts with Equitrans Midstream, as such contracts became intercompany transactions upon the closing of the Equitrans Midstream Merger. In addition, the Company attributed $831 million of total goodwill to additional deferred tax liabilities that arose from the differences between the purchase price allocation based on fair value and tax basis that carried over from Equitrans Midstream to the Company. The Company allocated all of the goodwill from the Equitrans Midstream Merger to the Company's Transmission segment.

See Note 5 for a description of the fair value hierarchy.

The NEPA Gathering System Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition, and, as such, its purchase price was allocated to property, plant and equipment.
