growth of our business and operations, plans, market conditions,
references to future success, references to intentions as to future
matters and other such matters are forward-looking statements. All
forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this
release. Although we believe that the plans, intentions and
expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking
statements are reasonable, there is no assurance that these plans,
intentions or expectations will be achieved. Therefore, actual
outcomes and results could materially differ from what is
expressed, implied or forecast in such statements.
We caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject
to risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict
and many of which are beyond our control, incident to the
exploration for and development, production, gathering and sale of
natural gas, NGLs and oil. These risks include, but are not limited
to: commodity price volatility; inflation; lack of availability of
drilling and production equipment and services; environmental
risks; drilling and other operating risks; regulatory changes; the
uncertainty inherent in estimating natural gas reserves and in
projecting future rates of production, cash flow and access to
capital; the timing of development expenditures; and risks related
to joint venture operations. Information concerning these and other
factors can be found in our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including our Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this
news release are qualified by these cautionary statements and there
can be no assurances that the actual results or developments
anticipated by us will be realized, or even if realized, that they
will have the expected consequences to or effects on us, our
business or operations. We have no intention, and disclaim any
obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future results or
otherwise.

Supplemental
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
Adjusted EBITDAX and Further Adjusted EBITDAX are supplemental
non-GAAP financial measures that are used by management and
external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as
industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. We
define Adjusted EBITDAX as net (loss) before non-controlling
interest; interest expense; income taxes; depreciation, depletion
and amortization; amortization of deferred financing costs;
amortization of intangible assets; derivative fair value (gain)
loss, excluding net cash receipts on settled derivative
instruments; non-cash stock compensation expense; non-cash
incentive unit expense; exploration expenses; and other
non-recurring items. We define Further Adjusted EBITDAX as Adjusted
EBITDAX after non-controlling interest and water revenue
adjustment. Neither Adjusted EBITDAX nor Further Adjusted EBITDAX
is a measure of net income as determined by United States generally accepted accounting
principles, or GAAP.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDAX is a useful measure to the
users of our financial statements because it allows them to more
effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the
results of our operations from period to period and against our
peers without regard to our financing methods or capital structure.
We exclude the items listed above from net income (loss) in
arriving at Adjusted EBITDAX because these amounts can vary
substantially from company to company within our industry depending
upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital
structures and the method by which the assets were acquired.
Management believes Further Adjusted EBITDAX is useful because it
allows them to assess the level of consolidated leverage of the
company and compare this level to peers. The adjustments made to
Adjusted EBITDAX to calculate Further Adjusted EBITDAX address the
intercompany eliminations of items impacting Adjusted EBITDAX as a
result of the consolidation of RMP, the outstanding indebtedness of
which is consolidated with that of the company without regard to
non-controlling interest. These adjustments include the addition of
non-controlling interest as well as the addition of a water revenue
adjustment attributable to charges for fresh water delivery
services and produced water hauling services provided by RMP to
RICE, a charge that generates revenue for RMP but does not have a
corresponding expense at the RICE level, as such costs are
capitalized.
Adjusted EBITDAX and Further Adjusted EBITDAX should not be
considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income
as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of our
operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from
Adjusted EBITDAX and Further Adjusted EBITDAX are significant
components in understanding and assessing a company's financial
performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure,
as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which
are components of Adjusted EBITDAX or Further Adjusted EBITDAX. Our
computations of Adjusted EBITDAX and Further Adjusted EBITDAX may
not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
companies. We believe that these measures are widely followed
measures of operating performance used by investors.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-GAAP
financial measure of Adjusted EBITDAX to the GAAP financial measure
of net income (loss).

The adjustments
for the derivative fair value (gains) losses and net cash receipts
on settled commodity derivative instruments have the effect of
adjusting net income (loss) for changes in the fair value of
derivative instruments, which are recognized at the end of each
accounting period because we do not designate commodity derivative
instruments as accounting hedges. This results in reflecting
commodity derivative gains and losses within Adjusted EBITDAX on a
cash basis during the period the derivatives
settled.
|
2.
|
Excluded from the
above Adjusted EBITDAX reconciliation is the impact of
non-controlling interest attributable to midstream entities and the
elimination of intercompany water revenues between Rice Energy
subsidiaries and Rice Midstream Partners of $39.8 million and $14.4
million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30,
2017, $101.5 million and $46.0 million, respectively, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2017, and $121.4 million and $64.7
million, respectively, for the twelve months ended September 30,
2017. When including these impacts, our Further Adjusted EBITDAX is
$288.1 million, $857.7 million and $1.1 billion for the three, nine and twelve
months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Our
consolidated net debt to last twelve months Further Adjusted
EBITDAX ratio is 1.4x. Also included in the above reconciliation is
the non-controlling interest attributable to Rice Energy Operating
LLC, as we view our business on a fully diluted
basis.

Supplemental
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(Unaudited)
Adjusted net income (loss) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial
measure that is used by management and external users of our
consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts,
investors, lenders and rating agencies. We define adjusted net
income (loss) as net income (loss) before impairment of gas
properties, impairment of fixed assets, derivative fair value
(gain) loss, net cash receipts on settled derivative instruments,
incentive unit expense, acquisition expense and other non-recurring
items. Adjusted net income (loss) is not a measure of net income as
determined by United States
generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.
We believe that many investors use adjusted net income (loss) in
making investment decisions and in evaluating our operational
trends and our performance relative to other oil and gas producing
companies.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the non-GAAP
financial measure of adjusted net income to the GAAP financial
measure of net income.
