Earnings Conference Call Q2 2016
Cautionary Language
2
This presentation contains statements, estimates and projections which are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Statements that are not historical, are forward-looking, and include our operational and strategic plans; estimates of
coal and gas reserves and resources; the projected timing and rates of return of future investments; and projections and estimates of future production,
revenues, income and capital spending. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those statements, plans, estimates and projections. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a
prediction of future actual results. Factors that could cause future actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements included in our
earnings release, and include risks, contingencies and uncertainties that relate to, among other matters, the following: we may not receive the prices we
expect to receive for our natural gas and coal; we may not obtain on a timely basis the permits required for drilling and mining; we may not accurately
estimate our economically recoverable natural gas, oil and condensate; we may encounter unexpected operational issues when we drill and mine, including
equipment failures, geological conditions and higher than expected costs for equipment, supplies, services and labor; we may not achieve the efficiencies we
expect to realize in our drilling and completion operations, and as a result, our projected cost savings may not be fully realized; our joint venture partners,
who operate assets in which we have a significant interest, may not perform as we expect; we may not be able to sell non-core assets on acceptable terms;
we may be unable to incur indebtedness on reasonable terms; failure by Murray Energy to satisfy liabilities it acquired from us, or failure to perform its
obligations under various arrangements, which we guaranteed, could materially or adversely affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash
flows; with respect to the sale of the Buchanan and Amonate mines and other coal assets to Coronado IV LLC - disruption to our business, including
customer, employee and supplier relationships resulting from this transaction, and the impact of the transaction on our future operating results; and other
factors, many of which are beyond our control. Additional factors are described in detail under the captions "Forward Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors"
in CONSOL Energy Inc.’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as
updated by any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Qs. The forward-looking statements in this presentation speak only as of the date of this
presentation; we disclaim any obligation to update the statements, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly.
The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible oil and gas 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
may use certain terms in this presentation, such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery), unproved reserves 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. 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. We also note that the SEC strictly prohibits us from
aggregating proved, probable and possible reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category.
Except for proved reserve data, the information included in this presentation is based on a summary review of the title to the gas rights we hold. As is
customary in the gas industry, prior to the commencement of gas drilling operations on our properties, we conduct a thorough title examination and perform
curative work with respect to significant defects. We are typically responsible for curing any title defects at our expense. As a result of our title review or
otherwise, we may be required to acquire property rights from third parties at our expense in order to effectively drill and produce the oil and gas rights we
control and third parties may participate in the wells we drill, thereby reducing our working interest in those wells.
This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of offers to buy securities of CONSOL Energy Inc. or CNX Coal Resources LP.

$1.5 million in severance expense
Q2 2016 production of 99.3 Bcfe, up approximately 23.8 Bcfe from Q2 2015, a 32% increase
Production volumes expected to grow to approximately 380-385 Bcfe in 2016
2016 E&P capital budget guidance reduced 25% to $190 – $205 million, based on the midpoint of the
guidance range, while adding back two rigs in second half of 2016, which will result in drilling 10 wells
throughout rest of year

Note: The terms "adjusted net loss attributable to continuing operations," "adjusted EBITDA," “adjusted EBITDA attributable to continuing operations,” "free cash flow," and "organic

The Gaut 4IH well has produced 4.4 Bcf through June 30, 2016, while average
flowing casing pressure remains strong at approximately 6,100 psi 11
Utica Shale: Gaut 4IH Westmoreland County, PA
Expected to produce at flat rate for approximately 400 days until hitting line pressure in February 2017
Establishing reaction to reaching line pressure based on extensive JV / NonOp / Partner data set of 28 wells
We are following a managed pressure drawdown where we are currently dropping pressure at 20 psi/day
Note: Production data has been normalized for temporary/short-term draw-downs and shut-ins due to maintenance.
Expected to CUM 8.4 BCF at

Milestones:
Improving E&P performance from high-grading activities, improving completion techniques, reducing cycle times, and
service cost deflation
Adding two rigs while maintaining disciplined on capital expenditures
Benefits from recent long-term contracting activities and operating cost reductions
CONE MLP growth – July 22nd announced 3.7% increase to quarterly distribution to $0.254 per unit, the 5th consecutive
increase since July 2015
Positive initial well results from operated dry Utica (Gaut 4IH, GH9, and Switz 6D)– sets up future stacked pay
opportunities
Improved free cash flow and opportunistic asset sales to de-lever
- Continued focus on zero-based budgeting – expecting significantly reduced costs and improved balance sheet
- Improving price realizations – anticipate excess Appalachian firm transportation capacity above production to drive
narrowing basis differential by year-end 2016. This should help both natural gas and thermal coal prices.
Our management team is motivated and incentivized to generate FCF and NAV/share, which is consistent with the
metrics used in the short and long term incentive programs for 2016
Plans and Goals Aligned to Drive Increased Valuation
We will continue to be focused on increasing shareholder value while staying within
our core values of safety, compliance, and continuous improvement
