Cautionary Statements EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT) EQT Plaza 625 Liberty Avenue, Suite 1700 Pittsburgh, PA 15222 Blake McLean – Senior Vice President, Investor Relations and Strategy – 412.395.3561 The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that a company anticipates as of a given date to be economically and legally producible and deliverable by application of development projects to known accumulations. We use certain terms in this presentation, such as “EUR” (estimated ultimate recovery) and total resource potential, that the SEC’s rules strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. We caution you that the SEC views such estimates as inherently unreliable and these estimates may be misleading to investors unless the investor is an expert in the natural gas industry. We also note that the SEC strictly prohibits us from aggregating proved, probable and possible (3P) reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category. Disclosures in this presentation contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts are forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this presentation specifically include the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and growth and anticipated financial and operational performance of EQT Corporation and its subsidiaries (EQT), including guidance regarding EQT’s strategy to develop its reserves; drilling plans and programs (including the number, type, depth, spacing, lateral lengths, and locations of wells to be drilled, number of frac crews and number and type of rigs); projected natural gas prices, liquids price impact, basis, premium and average differential; total resource potential, well production and drilling inventory duration, reserves and EUR; projected production and sales volumes and growth rates (including liquids production and sales volumes and growth rates); internal rate of return (IRR), compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and expected after-tax returns per well; technology (including drilling and completion techniques); projected drilling and completions (D&C) costs, other well costs, unit costs and G&A expenses; projected reductions in expenses and capital and well costs; projected frac stage lengths, and market mix; infrastructure programs; the cost, capacity, and timing of regulatory approvals; acquisition transactions; the projected capital efficiency savings and other operating efficiencies associated with EQT’s shift to a steady operating cadence and EQT’s ability to achieve such efficiencies; EQT’s ability to mitigate curtailments; the projected capital efficiency savings and other operating efficiencies and synergies resulting from EQT’s acquisition of Rice Energy Inc. (Rice); EQT’s ability to achieve the anticipated synergies and efficiencies from its acquisition of Rice; monetization transactions, including asset sales, joint ventures or other transactions involving EQT’s assets; EQT’s ability to achieve the anticipated operational, financial and strategic benefits of the spin-off of Equitrans Midstream Corporation (ETRN) from EQT; the timing and structure of any dispositions of EQT’s approximately 19.9% retained common stock of ETRN and EQT's planned use of the proceeds from any such dispositions; the amount and timing of any repurchases of EQT’s common stock, including whether EQT will institute a share repurchase program; dividend amounts and rates; projected cash flows, including the ability to fund the 2019 drilling program through cash from operations; projected adjusted free cash flow, adjusted operating cash flow, net marketing services revenue, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, including EQT’s ownership of approximately 19.9% of ETRN’s common stock; projected capital expenditures; projected adjusted EBITDA; liquidity and financing requirements, including funding sources and availability; EQT’s ability to maintain or improve its credit ratings, leverage levels and financial profile; potential future impairments of EQT’s assets; EQT’s hedging strategy; the effects of government regulation and litigation; and tax position and the expected impact of changes to tax laws. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. EQT has based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events taking into account all information currently known to EQT. While EQT considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond EQT’s control. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of EQT’s business and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of EQT’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC and as updated by any subsequent Form 10-Qs and in other documents EQT files with the SEC from time to time. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and EQT does not intend to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. 32

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Adjusted EBITDA As used in this presentation, adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income from continuing operations, plus interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and depletion, amortization of intangible assets, long-lived asset and goodwill impairments, lease impairments and expirations, the revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement, unrealized (gain) loss on EQT’s investment in Equitrans Midstream Corporation, proxy and transaction costs and certain other items that impact comparability between periods. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and external users of EQT’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, lenders and ratings agencies use to assess EQT’s earnings trends. EQT believes that adjusted EBITDA is an important measure used by EQT’s management and investors in evaluating period-over-period comparisons of earnings trends. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to EQT’s net income presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA excludes the revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement and other items that affect the comparability of results and are not trends in the ongoing business. Management utilizes adjusted EBITDA to evaluate earnings trends because the measure reflects only the impact of settled derivative contracts and thus the income from natural gas is not impacted by the often-volatile fluctuations in fair value of derivatives prior to settlement. EQT has not provided projected net income or a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, because EQT does not provide guidance with respect to depletion and depreciation expense, income tax expense, the revenue impact of changes in the projected fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement or unrealized gains and losses on its investments in equity securities. Therefore, projected net income and a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income, are not available without unreasonable effort. 33

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Adjusted Operating Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow As used in this presentation, adjusted operating cash flow is defined as EQT’s net cash provided by operating activities less changes in other assets and liabilities, less EBITDA attributable to discontinued operations (a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure defined herein), plus interest expense attributable to discontinued operations and cash distributions from discontinued operations. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as adjusted operating cash flow less accrual-based capital expenditures attributable to continuing operations. Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that EQT's management and external users of EQT’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, lenders and ratings agencies use to assess EQT’s liquidity. EQT believes that adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow provide useful information to management and investors in assessing the impact of EQT’s ability to generate cash flow in excess of capital requirements and return cash to shareholders. Adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow should not be considered as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EQT has not provided projected net cash provided by operating activities or reconciliations of projected adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to projected net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. EQT is unable to project net cash provided by operating activities for any future period because this metric includes the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities related to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. EQT is unable to project these timing differences with any reasonable degree of accuracy without unreasonable efforts such as predicting the timing of its and customers’ payments, with accuracy to a specific day months in advance. Furthermore, EQT does not provide guidance with respect to its average realized price, among other items, that impact reconciling items between net cash provided by operating activities and adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, as applicable. Natural gas prices are volatile and out of EQT’s control, and the timing of transactions and the income tax effects of future transactions and other items are difficult to accurately predict. Therefore, EQT is unable to provide projected net cash provided by operating activities, or the related reconciliations of projected adjusted operating cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to projected net cash provided by operating activities, without unreasonable effort. 35

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Adjusted SG&A per unit Adjusted SG&A per unit is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that is presented because it is an important measure used by EQT’s management to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of earnings trends.

EQT Video Transcript — Janet Carrig

 

I’m Janet Carrig, and it’s my pleasure to have been nominated to EQT’s Board of Directors for the Company’s upcoming Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

 

By way of background, I have served as General Counsel to various Fortune 100 and Fortune 300 companies for over 20 years. For over the last ten of those, I was General Counsel and Corporate Secretary to ConocoPhillips.

 

My most recent work at ConocoPhillips focused on compliance, ESG, legal oversight, and strategy. At ConocoPhillips, I worked closely with the Board and management on evaluation and subsequent decision to spin-off Phillips 66, the company’s downstream business, in 2012.

 

Following the spin, I saw first-hand that cultural changes are essential at a recently transformed, pure-play E&P company. That experience, in addition to my extensive legal, regulatory, and governance expertise, gives me a unique perspective that I look forward to bringing to EQT, another recently transformed company.

 

Earlier in my career, I gained experience outside of the E&P business, with responsibilities in HR, government affairs, public relations, and internal audit. With my HR experience, I have learned to look at things from different perspectives, including cultural changes, compensation structure, and managerial oversight.

 

I joined Kellogg as General Counsel at a time when the Board was demanding change and brought in an entirely new management team. Kellogg was going through a difficult time, and the new team was tasked with driving meaningful improvement quickly. As part of the new team, I played a role in the bold actions the company took to ensure it was best positioned for the future.

 

I have also served on various mutual fund boards for over 20 years. As someone who has been on the shareholder side of the table, and an advocate for improving ESG policies, I appreciate the steps EQT has taken.

 

EQT’s recent decision to adopt a universal proxy card for the Annual Meeting, one of the first U.S. companies to do so, is very bold and shareholder-friendly. It underscores EQT’s commitment to best-in-class corporate governance.

 

I am particularly proud to be on EQT’s slate of director nominees in light of its gender diversity. If all 12 EQT nominees are elected by shareholders, the Board will have female representation of more than 40% — a true differentiator, especially in this industry.

 

I look forward to bringing my shareholders perspective to the boardroom and working with the talented and diverse team EQT has assembled.

 

Another thing that attracted me to EQT is its proud history, but I share the Board’s and management team’s view that more can be — and is being — done to strengthen EQT.

 

The new management team has significantly improved EQT’s financial and operational results while reducing costs, driving enhanced shareholder value. I believe I can be a valuable contributor to EQT’s continuing sustainable cash flow growth.

 

The management team understands that to win in the current operating environment you have to be the most responsible, lowest cost operator.

 

Time and again, EQT has shown that it takes action to address the opinions and concerns of its investors — from the transactions to address the sum-of-the-parts discount to their ongoing operational enhancements to the Company’s corporate governance profile.

 


 

An effective board includes independent, active, and engaged directors with broad experience and expertise relevant to the needs of the business and the company’s strategies.

 

EQT’s director nominees meet these qualifications. In fact, I believe the individual strengths of these nominees create one of — if not the most — experienced boards among EQT’s peers.

 

If elected, I will work to ensure that EQT continues to prioritize best-in-class corporate governance while focusing on enhancing returns to all of its stakeholders.

 

I look forward to supporting the development, oversight, and execution of EQT’s new strategies and further enhancing shareholder value.

 

I want to encourage all EQT shareholders to vote on the GOLD universal proxy card for all of EQT’s director nominees. I am confident that with new leadership and a new plan, the best is yet to come.

 


 

EQT Video Transcript — James McManus

 

Hello, I’m James McManus, and I am delighted and honored to be nominated on the EQT slate for this year’s Annual Meeting.

 

I had a long career at Energen Corporation, holding numerous senior-level positions. I served as Chief Operating Officer from 1995 until 1997, and then President and Chief Operating Officer from 1997 until 2007. In 2007, I became Chief Executive Officer and President, and Chairman in 2008.

 

To give you a little feel for Energen, in 2018, Energen was running 10 horizontal rigs and four frac crews, had a capital budget in the range of $1.1 to $1.3 billion and were on track to produce 100,000 mboe per day. At Energen, I developed substantial executive leadership and operations experience as we successfully transformed the company into one of the nation’s top independent oil and gas producers.

 

During my tenure and senior roles at Energen, we were able to dramatically increase the value of the company, culminating in the sale to Diamondback Energy for approximately $9.2 billion. The sale process was also a tremendous learning opportunity and enhanced my M&A experience.

 

In addition to my public company board experience at Energen and Questar Corporation, I have also served on several industry boards, including the Independent Producers Association of America, the American Exploration Production Council, and the National Petroleum Council.

 

Over the course of my career, I have made many difficult decisions with the ultimate purpose of maximizing value for shareholders. I believe it is important for a board and management team to constantly evaluate its operations and portfolio and not be afraid to disrupt the status quo. And that is exactly what is going on at EQT.

 

I was recently asked about how I think about serving on a board. For me, there are three boxes that need to be checked.

 

First — the quality of the assets that the company has needs to be strong. EQT checks this box with its core position in the heart of the Marcellus.

 

Second — I look for a strong CEO with integrity. I believe Rob is a very smart, proactive, and engaged CEO, so I can check that second box.

 

And third — who else is on the board? I recently met and spoke with the directors on the EQT Board and I truly believe that this will be an incredibly insightful group of leaders. Check box number three.

 

Obviously something else I liked about EQT is the Company’s potential to generate substantial free cash flow and return significant capital to investors.

 

EQT is clearly executing well and on a positive trajectory, as evidenced by its strong fourth quarter and first quarter results.

 

As a testament to the strength of EQT’s team, I recently acquired 15,000 shares of EQT stock in the open market. This was an “out of pocket” investment — not a grant — which demonstrates my confidence in the upside to EQT’s stock under the leadership of the new Board and management team. I strongly believe that the Company is well positioned for even greater success.

 

Based on my experience over the years, I understand the value added by an engaged board. I believe the role of any board member is to ensure transparency and management accountability for shareholders.

 


 

At Energen I was accustomed to a very active Board that appropriately challenged and supported management with the goal of achieving outstanding results for shareholders, and that’s what I intend to do if elected by EQT shareholders.

 

The quality of EQT’s asset base is unparalleled and, with a continued focus on operational excellence, the Company will drive further value.

 

I am confident that I can provide experience, insight, and skills to contribute to the success of EQT.

 

Please join me in voting on the GOLD universal proxy card for all 12 of EQT’s director nominees. Your vote will ensure the Company has a world-class Board, a dedicated management team, and a proven strategy. The Company is on the right track — there is no reason to disrupt the positive momentum with wholesale changes.

 

Please vote GOLD today and join me in supporting the new EQT.

 


 

EQT Video Transcript — Valerie Mitchell

 

Hi, I’m Valerie Mitchell.

 

For the last 20 years, I have been actively involved in the development of tight sand and shale plays. I have participated in or overseen the drilling of at least one thousand wells.

 

The fundamentals I learned at Shell while drilling South Texas wells to the early days of horizontal drilling, completion, and production in the Granite Wash and Arkoma Basins helped prepare me for the rapid pace of development in SCOOP and STACK in the Mid-Continent.

 

I bring over 15 years of leadership experience in the E&P industry. I spent much of my career running the Mid-Continent region at Newfield Exploration, managing over $1 billion in annual investments.

 

Drilling to full-scale development in the SCOOP and STACK plays came from having a well thought out plan and from technical support for pad drilling, completion optimization, well spacing, and water infrastructure.

 

Recently, I’ve served as the Chief Executive Officer of Corterra Energy for the last three years. Corterra is an exploration and production company focused on the acquisition and development of oil and gas in Oklahoma.

 

During my last couple of years at Newfield, I helped develop and execute a strategic vision to navigate the Mid-Continent through a low commodity environment.

 

We protected margins and returns while testing plays and driving assets toward full scale development. We also took a technological approach, improving digital tools and leveraging big data. We utilized this along with a grassroots effort to simplify processes and designs.

 

I believe my background in exploration and production, with years of direct field experience enables me to bring to EQT significant insight into driving sustainable growth.

 

When it comes to operations and field development, I have always believed the most important component is having the right team. From a leadership perspective, your entire team needs to be focused on returns, not just geologic wins — from the gauger in the field to the CEO of the company.

 

Transformational change comes from having the right team laser-focused on the same ideas and executing on the same plan. When this happens within organizations, the results can be amazing.

 

Today, EQT has a world-class asset in the core of Appalachia basin. The potential for cash flow generation is enormous. The Company is strong, focused, and positioned for success.

 

I have great confidence in Rob, Gary, and the EQT team. Everything EQT has done over the last two quarters and is continuing to do is focused on value creation and operational success. Adding Gary, as well as the new board members, gives EQT unprecedented access to best practices across the lower forty-eight.

 

One of things that has most impressed me about EQT is their outstanding safety record as well as their environmental stewardship.

 

While it’s important for EQT to be focused on operational excellence and returns, it’s another to ensure that every person that works for us comes home safely, and that our communities are well cared for, and that we protect the environment in the process.

 

Producing oil and gas safely, responsibly, and profitably should be at the heart of EQT, and it is. It’s how I’ve run every team, every department, and every organization, including Corterra.

 


 

I look forward to working with the EQT team, contributing technical expertise and perspectives that I have learned over the course of my career.

 

I am a firm believer in the use of technology and data analytics to push accountability down to all parts of an organization as well as the importance of consistently driving down costs and improving operating efficiencies. Finding the places you can create value across the life cycle of a well, like efficient sourcing of water and its disposal, helps with both initial returns and long-term margin.

 

To ensure that EQT continues to build on its momentum and remains on the right track, vote the GOLD universal proxy card today for all 12 of the Company’s director nominees.

The increase was primarily attributable to an impairment charge recorded in the first quarter 2018. Adjusted net income from continuing operations, which excludes impairment charges, non-cash derivatives and other items impacting comparability between periods, was $33 million higher than the same quarter last year. Sales of natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs) increased $45 million as a result of a 7% increase in sales volumes in 2019, which was more than offset by a loss on derivatives not designated as hedges in 2019. Adjusted for volumes from the divestitures of the Company's Huron and Permian assets in 2018, sales volumes increased 13% in the first quarter 2019. 383 357 26 7%

................................ NEWS RELEASE .............................................................................................................................................. Compared to the same quarter last year, average realized price was 5% lower at $3.16 per Mcfe, primarily on a lower average natural gas differential as a result of lower gas daily prices during the first quarter 2019 at sales points off the Company's Northeast capacity. Lower gas daily pricing also negatively impacted the Company's first quarter average natural gas differential compared to guidance; however, the Company reiterates its full-year 2019 average differential guidance. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by 4% and adjusted free cash flow increased 92%. Adjusted free cash flow in the first quarter 2019 was $171 million, unadjusted for an $8 million litigation reserve and $4 million of proxy and transaction costs. The Non-GAAP Disclosures section of this news release provides reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures, as well as important disclosures regarding certain projected non-GAAP financial measures.

................................ NEWS RELEASE .............................................................................................................................................. Per unit cash operating expenses decreased 5%, primarily as a result of increased sales volume. On a per unit basis, processing expense was $0.05 per Mcfe lower, lease operating expense (LOE) was $0.04 per Mcfe lower and production taxes were $0.02 per Mcfe lower, each of which were favorably impacted by the divestitures of the Company's Huron and Permian assets in 2018. Excluding the sales volumes related to the divestitures of the Huron and Permian assets in 2018, gathering expense per unit was $0.57 per Mcfe in 2018. When adjusting for the impact of an $8 million litigation reserve recorded during the first quarter 2019, selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) was $0.11 per Mcfe. Liquidity As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $350 million of credit facility borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under its $2.5 billion credit facility. As of March 31, 2019, net debt was lower by approximately $500 million compared to December 31, 2018 as a result of working capital dynamics and positive adjusted free cash flow over the past two quarters. Adjusted operating cash flow is forecasted to be $2.2 to $2.3 billion in 2019, which fully funds the Company's capital expenditure plan of $1.85 to $1.95 billion and is expected to deliver $300 to $400 million of adjusted free cash flow. Operational Update strong first quarter 2019 operational performance reflects the move to stable operations and the Compan the Company drilled 17 wells with total curve and lateral footage of greater than 14,000 feet in one-run, and surpassed the mile-per-day rate of penetration mark on 4 wells. The team also set a basin bit record for the longest one run at 19,426 feet. Horizontal drilling performance improved 32% when compared to November of 2018 to 0.79 days per 1,000 feet, down from 1.17 days per 1,000 feet. The Company's completions operation also saw significantly improved results, increasing frac stages per crew by 30% and decreasing non-productive time by 70% year-over-year. The Company's frac plug drill-out operations have also seen significant efficiency gains with a 71% improvement in the average number of plugs per day, reducing cycle times by nearly 3 days per -out operations completed 43 frac plugs and cleaned 7,550 feet in a 24-hour period - positioning the Company as one of the most efficient in the Appalachian basin and setting a Company record. As part of the Company's ongoing effort to increase operational efficiencies and reduce costs, the Company was also able to successfully negotiate a penalty-free, early reduction to its horizontal rig count that results in approximately 30 fewer horizontal wells being drilled during 2019 compared to the operational plan announced in January. The Company will also spud approximately 15 fewer wells. Additionally, as a result of the operational efficiency gains in completion operations, the Company now expects to frac an additional 10 wells in 2019. Finally, seven fewer wells are expected to be turned-in-line during 2019 as a result of non-operated activity by joint venture partners and timing. These operational changes will not impact full year 2019 volumes or capital expenditures; they represent an acceleration of the Company's optimization of resource count and development cadence that will enhance the Company's capital efficiency as it moves into 2020.

Management utilizes adjusted net income from continuing operations to evaluate earnings trends because the measure reflects only the impact of settled derivative contracts; thus, the income from natural gas sales is not impacted by the often-volatile fluctuations in the fair value of derivatives prior to settlement. The measure also excludes other items that affect the comparability of results or that are not indicative of trends in the ongoing business. Management believes that adjusted net income from continuing operations as presented provides useful information for investors for evaluating period-over-period earnings. The table below reconciles adjusted net income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS from continuing operations with income (loss) from continuing operations and diluted EPS from continuing operations, the most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, each as derived from the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations to be included in the Company's report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019.

Cautionary Statements The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that a company anticipates as of a given date to be economically and legally producible and deliverable by application of development projects to known accumulations. The Company uses possibl These measures are by their nature more speculative than estimates of reserves prepared in accordance with SEC definitions and guidelines and accordingly are less certain. Total sales volume per day (or daily production) is an operational estimate of the daily production or sales volume on a typical day (excluding curtailments). Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of natural gas, NGLs and oil that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. In addition, the results of drilling, testing and production activities may justify revisions of estimates that were made previously. If significant, such revisions would change the schedule of any further production and development program. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of natural gas, NGLs and oil that are ultimately recovered.
