NOTE: Please note that CNX is unable to provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP projected financial results contained in this presentation, including the non-GAAP measures referenced above, to their respective comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. This is due to our inability to calculate the comparable GAAP projected metrics, including operating income, net cash provided by operating activities and total production costs, given the unknown effect, timing, and potential significance of certain income statement items.

Non-GAAP Measures (Definitions, Purpose, and Reconciliations)

CNX's management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, and believes that they are useful for investors in analyzing the company. Although these are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), management believes that these financial measures are useful to an investor in evaluating CNX because (i) analysts utilize these metrics when evaluating company performance and have requested this information as of a recent practicable date, (ii) these metrics are widely used to evaluate a company’s operating performance, and (iii) we want to provide updated information to investors. Investors should not view these metrics as a substitute for measures of performance that are calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because all companies do not calculate these measures identically, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Definitions: EBIT is defined as earnings before deducting net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) and income taxes. EBITDAX is defined as earnings before deducting net interest expense (interest expense less interest income), income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, and exploration. Adjusted EBITDAX is defined as EBITDAX after adjusting for the discrete items listed below. Although EBIT, EBITDAX, and adjusted EBITDAX are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, management believes that they are useful to an investor in evaluating CNX Resources because they are widely used to evaluate a company's operating performance. We exclude stock-based compensation from adjusted EBITDAX because we do not believe it accurately reflects the actual operating expense incurred during the relevant period and may vary widely from period to period irrespective of operating results. Investors should not view these metrics as a substitute for measures of performance that are calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, because all companies do not calculate EBIT, EBITDAX or adjusted EBITDAX identically, the presentation here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Sales of natural gas, NGL and oil, including cash settlements excludes the impacts of changes in the fair value of commodity derivative instruments prior to settlement, which are often volatile, and only includes the impact of settled commodity derivative instruments. Natural gas, NGL and oil production costs excludes certain expenses that are not directly related to CNX’s natural gas producing activities and are managed outside our production operations. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as Net Income (Loss) after adjusting for the discrete items listed below as well as the related tax effect. Operating Margins are defined as adjusted EBIT divided by Total Revenue and Other Operating Income after adjusting for unrealized (gain) loss on commodity derivative instruments. Adjusted Trailing-Twelve-Months (TTM) EBITDAX is defined as EBITDAX over the trailing-twelve-months after adjusting for the discrete items listed below. Cash Operating Margins are defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by Total Revenue and Other Operating Income after adjusting for unrealized (gain) loss on commodity derivative instruments, stock based compensation and the other discrete items listed below. Net Debt is defined as total long-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents. Adjusted Net Debt is defined as total long-term debt, plus the historical impact of recent accounting pronouncement, minus cash and cash equivalents. Free Cash Flow (FCF) is defined as operating cash flow minus capex plus proceeds from asset sales. Organic FCF is defined as operating cash flow minus capex.

Reconciliations of EBIT, EBITDAX, adjusted EBITDAX, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA, sales of natural gas, NGL and oil, including cash settlements, natural gas, NGL and oil production costs, adjusted net income, operating margins, cash operating margins, net debt, adjusted net debt, adjusted TTM EBITDAX, FCF and organic FCF to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are as follows:


Non-GAAP Measures

Sales of Natural Gas, NGL and Oil, including cash settlements excludes the impacts of changes in the fair value of commodity derivative instruments prior to settlement, which are often volatile, and only includes the impact of settled commodity derivative instruments. Sales of Natural Gas, NGL and Oil, including cash settlements is a non-GAAP measure that excludes purchased gas revenue and other revenue and operating income, which are not directly related to CNX’s natural gas producing activities. Natural Gas, NGL and Oil Production Costs is a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain expenses that are not directly related to CNX’s natural gas producing activities and are managed outside our production operations (See Note 21 - Segment Information of the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of CNX's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 9, 2023). These expenses include, but are not limited to, interest expense and other corporate expenses such as selling, general and administrative costs in the current periods presented.

Management uses net debt to determine the company's outstanding debt obligations that would not be readily satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand. Management believes that using net debt is useful to investors in determining the company's leverage ratio since the company could choose to use its cash and cash equivalents to retire debt.

Net Debt: Total long-term debt minus cash and cash equivalents.
Adjusted Net Debt : Total long-term debt, plus the historical impact of recent accounting pronouncement, minus cash and cash equivalents.

(2) On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06 - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity and upon adoption long-term debt increased by $82MM (See Note 10 - Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of CNX’s September 30, 2023 Form 10-Q for additional information). As this adjustment was recorded on a prospective basis, Management believes that presenting investors with the net debt on a historical basis would be beneficial.
