Net income attributable to EQT for the second quarter 2018 decreased due
to higher operating costs, including impairments of long-lived assets
and leases, transaction-related expenses, higher interest expense, and
losses on derivatives not designated as hedges – all of which
more-than-offset higher revenue that resulted from an 83% sales volume
increase, lower corporate income taxes, and higher pipeline, water, and
net marketing services revenue. Net cash provided by operating
activities was higher as a result of an increase in revenues, partly
offset by an increase in cash operating costs.
Adjusted net income attributable to EQT, which excludes non-cash
derivatives, asset and lease impairments, and transaction-related
expenses, increased $104.9 million for the second quarter 2018. Adjusted
operating cash flow attributable to EQT, which includes
transaction-related expenses and excludes the non-controlling interests
in EQT Midstream Partners, LP (EQM) and Rice Midstream Partners LP
(RMP), increased 128%.

The $132.7 million decrease in operating income in the quarter was
primarily due to higher operating expenses, which included an impairment
charge of $118.1 million associated with non-core production assets and
retained pipeline assets in the Huron and Permian plays; a loss on
derivatives not designated as hedges in the current quarter; and a lower
average realized price, partially offset by revenue from increased sales
volume of produced natural gas. The increase in sales of natural gas,
oil, and NGLs was primarily a result of the acquisition of Rice Energy
Inc. (Rice).
The decrease in the average realized price for the quarter was primarily
due to a decrease in the average NYMEX natural gas price, partly offset
by an improvement in the average natural gas differential and higher
liquids prices.
Operating expenses for the quarter were $452.3 million higher than the
same period last year. In addition to the impairment, depreciation and
depletion expense increased $155.6 million; gathering expense increased
$83.8 million; and transmission expense increased $70.9 million;
primarily due to increased produced volumes. Exploration expense
increased $17.7 million, primarily due to an increase in the number of
leases expiring in the second quarter of 2018. Per unit cash operating
expenses decreased 20%.
Adjusted operating income for the quarter, which excludes impairment
charges and non-cash derivatives, was $139.2 million higher, primarily
due to higher revenue, partially offset by higher expenses.

Operating income increased 46% in the second quarter 2018 compared to
second quarter 2017, primarily driven by higher revenue from the
acquisition of EQT’s retained midstream assets and production
development in the Marcellus Shale partly offset by higher operating
costs. Revenue from firm reservation fees represented 62% of total
revenue during the quarter.
Operating expenses were $30.3 million higher due to additional assets
acquired and placed in-service.

The increase in operating income in the second quarter 2018 compared to
second quarter 2017 was primarily due to higher contractual rates on
existing contracts with third parties and affiliates. Revenue from firm
reservation fees represented 92% of total revenue during the quarter.
Operating expenses were $1.7 million higher, primarily as a result of
increased SG&A expense.
Mountain Valley Pipeline Update
Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP JV) has modified its construction
schedule for the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) and now anticipates a
first quarter 2019 in-service date. The 303-mile pipeline is estimated
to cost $3.5 - $3.7 billion, with EQM funding its 45.5% proportional
share.
OTHER BUSINESS
SpinCo Share Retention
EQT plans to retain 19.9% of the shares of the new midstream company
(SpinCo) that will be spun-off to EQT shareholders. EQT currently plans
to dispose its retained SpinCo shares after the spin-off. The proceeds
from the sale of SpinCo shares will be used to reduce EQT’s post-spin
debt and to fund the stock buyback program.
EQT Stock Buyback
During the second quarter 2018, EQT repurchased 700,000 shares of EQT
common stock at an average price of $55.25. The Board authorized an
additional $500 million EQT stock buyback program, effective immediately.
Streamlining Transactions
The Company completed its previously announced plan to streamline its
midstream structure, including:
-
On July 23, 2018, EQM acquired Rice Midstream Partners LP (RMP) in a
unit-for-unit merger at an exchange ratio of 0.3319x. EQM also repaid
$260 million of RMP debt.
-
On June 25, 2018, EQM completed its offering of $2.5 billion in
aggregate principal of three tranches of senior notes.
-
On May 22, 2018, EQT sold all of its RMP incentive distribution rights
to EQT GP Holdings, LP (EQGP) for 36.3 million EQGP common units.
-
On May 22, 2018, EQM acquired EQT’s retained midstream assets for
$1.15 billion in cash and 5.9 million EQM common units (May 2018
Acquisition).
-
On May 1, 2018, EQM acquired Gulfport Energy Corporation’s 25%
ownership interest in the Strike Force Gathering System for $175
million in cash.
As a result of the drop down of retained midstream assets to EQM, EQT
recast its segment information to retrospectively reflect the
pre-acquisition results as if the entities were owned by EQM as of
November 13, 2017, the date they were acquired from Rice.
Huron Sale
On July 18, 2018, EQT completed the sale of its non-core Huron assets
located in Southern Appalachia to Diversified Gas and Oil PLC, for $575
million cash. The transaction also relieved EQT of approximately $200
million of plugging and other liabilities associated with the assets.
EQT retained the deep drilling rights across the acreage. EQT is
reiterating 2018 production sales volume guidance after adjusting for
the approximately 35 Bcfe reduction related to this sale.
As a result of the Huron Sale, the Company expects to record an
additional impairment/loss on sale of long-lived assets of up to $275
million during the second half of 2018, associated with certain capacity
contracts that the Company will no longer have existing production to
satisfy and does not plan to utilize in the future.
Permian Sale
On June 19, 2018, EQT completed the sale of its Permian Basin assets
located in Texas for $64 million cash. The transaction also relieved EQT
of approximately $40 million of related plugging and other liabilities.
EQM and EQGP Distributions
On July 24, 2018, EQM approved a cash distribution to its unitholders of
$1.09 per unit for the second quarter 2018. The quarterly distribution
is 2% higher than the first quarter 2018 and 17% higher than the second
quarter 2017.
EQGP approved a cash distribution to its unitholders of $0.306 per unit
for the second quarter 2018. The quarterly distribution is 19% higher
than the first quarter 2018 and 46% higher than the second quarter 2017.
Due to the timing of the RMP merger, RMP will not declare a cash
distribution for the second quarter 2018.
Calculation of Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interest
(NCI)
The results of EQGP, EQM, RMP and Strike Force Midstream LLC (Strike
Force) are consolidated in EQT’s results. For the second quarter 2018,
EQT’s results reflected earnings of $118.5 million, or $0.45 per diluted
share, attributable to the publicly held partnership interests and the
minority interest in Strike Force.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURES
Adjusted Net Income Attributable to EQT and Adjusted Earnings per
Diluted Share (adjusted EPS)
Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to EQT and adjusted EPS are
non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that are presented because they
are important measures used by management to evaluate period-to-period
comparisons of earnings trends. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable
to EQT and adjusted EPS should not be considered as alternatives to net
income attributable to EQT or earnings per diluted share (EPS) presented
in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income (loss) attributable to EQT
as presented excludes the revenue impact of changes in the fair value of
derivative instruments prior to settlement, asset and lease impairments,
transaction costs and certain other items that impact comparability
between periods. Management utilizes adjusted net income (loss)
attributable to EQT 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 (loss) attributable to EQT
as presented provides useful information for investors for evaluating
period-over-period earnings.
The table below reconciles adjusted net income (loss) attributable to
EQT and adjusted EPS with net income attributable to EQT and EPS as
derived from the statements of consolidated operations.

Blended tax rates of 22.2% and 40.2% were applied to the items under
the caption “Add back (deduct)” for the three months ended June 30,
2018 and 2017, respectively. This represents the incremental tax
(expense) benefit that would have been incurred had these items been
excluded from net income attributable to EQT.

The tax benefit that may be recorded in any quarter is limited to
the amount of benefit expected for the entire year. As a result, the
tax benefit recorded in the first quarter 2018 was the entire
benefit forecast for the year at March 31, 2018. At June 30, 2018
the forecast tax benefit for year was higher than at March 31, 2018,
primarily as a result of lower commodity price forecasts for the
second half of the year. As a result, the Company recorded an
additional tax benefit in the second quarter.

Operating Cash Flow, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow Attributable to EQT
and Adjusted Operating Cash Flow Attributable to EQT Production
Operating cash flow, adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT
and adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT Production are
non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that are presented as
indicators of an oil and gas exploration and production company’s
ability to internally fund exploration and development activities and to
service or incur additional debt. EQT includes this information because
management believes that changes in operating assets and liabilities
relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements and therefore
may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred.
Adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT is EQT’s net cash
provided by operating activities, less changes in other assets and
liabilities, adjusted to exclude EQM and RMP adjusted EBITDA, plus EQM
and RMP interest expense plus the EQGP, RMP and EQM cash distributions
payable to EQT. Prior to EQT’s 2018 operational forecast announcement in
December 2017, the Company’s calculation of adjusted operating cash flow
attributable to EQT did not include the addition of EQM’s and RMP’s
interest expense. The Company believes it is preferable to present this
non-GAAP supplemental financial measure with this adjustment as it
better reflects EQT’s cash flows by excluding the cost of debt for EQM
and RMP. EQT has recast all periods presented to be consistent with this
change in the definition of adjusted operating cash flow attributable to
EQT. Management believes that removing the impact on operating cash
flows of the public unitholders of EQGP, EQM and RMP that is otherwise
required to be consolidated in EQT’s results provides useful information
to an EQT investor. As used in this news release, adjusted operating
cash flow attributable to EQT Production means the EQT Production
segment’s total operating revenues less the EQT Production segment’s
cash operating expense, less gains (losses) on derivatives not
designated as hedges, plus net cash settlements received (paid) on
derivatives not designated as hedges, plus premiums received (paid) for
derivatives that settled during the period, plus EQT Production asset
impairments (if applicable). Operating cash flow, adjusted operating
cash flow attributable to EQT, and adjusted operating cash flow
attributable to EQT Production should not be considered as alternatives
to net cash provided by operating activities presented in accordance
with GAAP. The table below reconciles operating cash flow and adjusted
operating cash flow attributable to EQT with net cash provided by
operating activities, as derived from the statements of consolidated
cash flows to be included in EQT’s report on Form 10-Q for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2018.

EQT has not provided projected net cash provided by operating activities
or reconciliations of projected adjusted operating cash flow
attributable to EQT or EQT Production 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 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, three or more 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 attributable to EQT and EQT Production, 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
attributable to EQT and EQT Production to projected net cash provided by
operating activities, without unreasonable effort.
EQT Production Adjusted Operating Revenue
The table below reconciles EQT Production adjusted operating revenues, a
non-GAAP supplemental financial measure, to EQT Production total
operating revenue, as reported in the EQT Production Results of
Operations, its most directly comparable financial measure calculated in
accordance with GAAP. Refer to the Financial Information by Business
Segment footnote to be included in EQT’s report on Form 10-Q for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2018, for a reconciliation of EQT
Production total operating revenue to EQT Corporation total operating
revenue.
EQT Production adjusted operating revenue (also referred to as total
natural gas & liquids sales, including cash settled derivatives) is
presented because it is an important measure used by the Company’s
management to evaluate period-over-period comparisons of earnings
trends. EQT Production adjusted operating revenue as presented excludes
the revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative
instruments prior to settlement and the revenue impact of certain
pipeline and net marketing services. Management utilizes EQT Production
adjusted operating revenue to evaluate earnings trends because the
measure reflects only the impact of settled derivative contracts and
thus does not impact the revenue from natural gas sales with the
often-volatile fluctuations in the fair value of derivatives prior to
settlement. EQT Production adjusted operating revenue also excludes
"Pipeline and net marketing services" because management considers this
revenue to be unrelated to the revenue for its natural gas and liquids
production. EQT Production "Pipeline and net marketing services"
includes revenue for gathering services provided to third-parties, as
well as both the cost of and recoveries on third-party pipeline capacity
not used for EQT Production sales volume. Management further believes
that EQT Production adjusted operating revenue, as presented, provides
useful information to investors for evaluating period-over-period
earnings trends.

EQM Adjusted EBITDA
EQM adjusted EBITDA means EQM’s net income plus EQM’s net interest
expense, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, preferred
interest payments, non-cash long-term compensation expense and
transaction costs less EQM’s equity income, AFUDC-equity and adjusted
EBITDA of assets prior to acquisition. EQM adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP
supplemental financial measure that management and external users of
EQT’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts,
investors, lenders and rating agencies, use to assess the effects of the
noncontrolling interests in relation to:
-
EQT's operating performance as compared to other companies in its
industry;
-
the ability of EQT's assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make
distributions to its investors;
-
EQT's ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures;
and
-
the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects
and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
EQT believes that EQM adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to
investors in assessing the impact of the noncontrolling interest in EQM
on EQT's financial condition and results of operations. EQM adjusted
EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to EQM’s net income,
operating income, or any other measure of financial performance or
liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EQM adjusted EBITDA has
important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some,
but not all, items that affect EQM's net income. Additionally, because
adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in EQT's
or EQM's industries, the definition of EQM adjusted EBITDA may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby
diminishing the utility of the measure. The table below reconciles EQM
adjusted EBITDA with EQM’s net income, as derived from the statements of
consolidated operations to be included in EQM’s report on Form 10-Q for
the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the May 2018 Acquisition for the
period prior to May 1, 2018 was excluded from EQM's adjusted EBITDA
calculations as these amounts were generated by the May 2018
Acquisition prior to acquisition by EQM; therefore, the amounts
could not have been distributed to EQM's unitholders. Adjusted
EBITDA attributable to the May 2018 Acquisition for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2018 was calculated as net income of $11.4
million and $41.0 million, respectively, plus depreciation of $1.6
million and $5.8 million, respectively, plus amortization of
intangible assets of $3.5 million and $13.8 million, respectively,
less interest income of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million,
respectively.

RMP Adjusted EBITDA
RMP adjusted EBITDA means RMP’s net income plus RMP’s net interest
expense, depreciation expense, non-cash compensation expense and
transaction costs. RMP adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental
financial measure that management and external users of EQT’s
consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors,
lenders and rating agencies, use to assess the effects of the
noncontrolling interests in relation to:
-
EQT's operating performance as compared to other companies in its
industry;
-
the ability of EQT's assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make
distributions to its investors;
-
EQT's ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures;
and
-
the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects
and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
EQT believes that RMP adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to
investors in assessing the impact of the noncontrolling interest in RMP
on EQT's financial condition and results of operations. RMP adjusted
EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to RMP’s net income,
operating income, or any other measure of financial performance or
liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. RMP adjusted EBITDA has
important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some,
but not all, items that affect RMP's net income. Additionally, because
adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in EQT's
or RMP's industries, the definition of RMP adjusted EBITDA may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby
diminishing the utility of the measure. The table below reconciles RMP
adjusted EBITDA with RMP’s net income.

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. We use
certain terms, such as “EUR” (estimated ultimate recovery) and “3P”
(proved, probable and possible), that the SEC’s guidelines prohibit us
from including in filings with the SEC. 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).
Disclosures in this news release 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 news release
specifically include the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives
and growth and anticipated financial and operational performance of the
Company and its subsidiaries, including guidance regarding the Company’s

synergies and efficiencies; monetization transactions, including asset
sales, joint ventures or other transactions involving the Company’s
assets; the impact and outcome of pending and future litigation; whether
the separation of the Company’s production and midstream businesses (the
Separation) will be completed and the timing of the Separation; the
projected cash flows resulting from the Company’s partnership interests
in EQGP and EQM; internal rate of return (IRR) and returns per well;

amounts and rates; and tax position, projected effective tax rate and
the impact of changes in 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. The Company has based these forward-looking
statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events.
While the Company 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 the Company’s control.

and results of the Company’s business and forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A, “Risk
Factors,” of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2017 as filed with the SEC, as updated by any subsequent Form 10-Qs
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such
statement is made, and the Company does not intend to correct or update
any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
Information in this news release regarding EQGP and its subsidiaries,
