CNX Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Results and
Provides Updated 2020 Guidance
PITTSBURGH (January 30, 2020) - CNX Resources Corporation (NYSE: CNX) ("CNX" or "the company") reports the following financial results, which are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the U.S.:
During the fourth quarter of 2019:
• | The company reported a net loss attributable to CNX shareholders of $271 million, or a loss of $1.45 per diluted share, largely due to a $327 million non-cash impairment charge related to exploration and production properties and a $119 million non-cash impairment charge related to unproved properties and expirations, both of which were associated with the company's Central Pennsylvania (CPA) acreage. In the fourth quarter of 2018 the company reported net income attributable to CNX shareholders of $102 million, or earnings of $0.50 per diluted share. During the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2018, there was an unrealized gain on commodity derivative instruments of $93 million and an unrealized loss on commodity derivative instruments of $37 million, respectively. |
• | The company reported total production costs of $1.97 per Mcfe, including $0.86 per Mcfe of Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (DD&A), compared to $1.89 per Mcfe, including $0.89 per Mcfe of DD&A, in the year-earlier quarter. |
• | On a consolidated basis, the company reported a net loss of $240 million for the 2019 fourth quarter, largely due to a $327 million non-cash impairment charge related to exploration and production properties and a $119 million non-cash impairment charge related to unproved properties and expirations, both of which were associated with the company's CPA acreage. This compares to net income of $129 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. |
• | Consolidated capital expenditures were $228 million, compared to $322 million spent in the year-earlier quarter. |
• | The company had total weighted-average diluted shares of common stock outstanding of 186,615,121, compared to 203,741,408 shares in the fourth quarter of 2018. |
Fourth Quarter Highlights
CNX's management uses 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. Stand-alone results include both CNX's Exploration & Production (E&P) and Unallocated segments (but not the Midstream segment) plus distributions CNX receives from CNX Midstream Partners LP ("CNXM"). CNX believes that providing stand-alone results provides investors with more transparency and a better ability to compare CNX's financial results to those of our peer group. The term "consolidated" includes 100% of the results of CNX, CNX Gathering LLC, and CNXM on a consolidated basis. For the fourth quarter of 2019, the company:
• | Had sales volumes of 143.4 Bcfe, or an increase of 5.4% from the 136.1 Bcfe sold in the fourth quarter of 2018. |
• | Had stand-alone capital expenditures of $156 million, or a decrease of 41% from the $266 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. For full year 2019, stand-alone capital expenditures were $876 million, which is below the previously stated guidance range of $890-$915 million. |
• | Turned-in-line five wells and drilled 12 wells. |

"During the fourth quarter, our team continued to deliver excellent results with our 2019 capital program coming in $27 million and $14 million below the midpoint and low end of the previously stated guidance range, respectively," commented Nicholas J. DeIuliis, president and CEO. "The team accomplished this while working on our RHL 71 wells that included a state record for lateral length, making the capital efficiency even more impressive. For the year, we ended 2019 at the high end of our production guidance range, above the high end of our EBITDAX guidance range, and well below the low end of our capital guidance range. Also, we were nearly free cash flow (FCF) neutral in 2019 when including the $45 million in assets sales we completed."
Mr. DeIuliis continued, "Looking towards the future, based on the current macro conditions we have decided to reduce our drilling and completion (D&C) capital program even further, and now expect our production to be approximately flat in 2020. We believe that this activity set will help us generate organic FCF (a non-GAAP measure)(a) of approximately $200 million in 2020 and will position the business to have an even better 2021 where we expect to grow annual production volumes approximately 5% and generate over $200 million in organic FCF. When coupled with regular ongoing asset sales, however, we currently expect total FCF close to $250 million for both 2020 and 2021, which will be used for debt reduction and/or go towards D&C investments. This would allow us to reduce our absolute debt and leverage ratio in both 2020 and 2021 without major asset sales. This is a unique position to be in within our peer group. Despite our near-term focus on the balance sheet, we continue to see a long-term opportunity to reduce our share count meaningfully in the future, and we remain steadfastly committed to maximizing the NAV per share of the company."

Impairment of Exploration and Production Properties
In the fourth quarter of 2019, CNX recorded a non-cash $327 million pre-tax impairment in the carrying value of the company's CPA Marcellus Shale assets largely due to the continuation of depressed NYMEX forward prices. Using the same NYMEX forward prices, no other regions or gas types were impaired.
Impairment of Unproved Properties and Expirations
Capitalized costs of unproved oil and gas properties are evaluated for recoverability on a prospective basis. CNX recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $119 million related to unproved properties in the fourth quarter of 2019. These properties are adjacent to the CPA Marcellus properties that were impaired.
Incentive Distribution Rights (IDRs) Elimination Transaction
On January 29, 2020, CNX and CNXM entered into and closed definitive agreements to eliminate CNXM’s IDRs held by its general partner and to convert the 2.0% general partner interest in CNXM into a non-economic general partnership interest (collectively, the "IDR Elimination Transaction").
Pursuant to the IDR Elimination Transaction agreements, CNX will receive the following consideration in exchange for the IDRs and the 2% general partner interest:
• | 26 million CNXM common units to CNX; |
• | 3 million new CNXM Class B units. The newly issued Class B units will not receive or accrue distributions until January 1, 2022, at which time they will automatically convert into CNXM common units; and |
• | $135 million cash, payable in three installments of $50 million on December 31, 2020, $50 million on December 31, 2021 and $35 million on December 31, 2022. |
As a result of the IDR Elimination Transaction, CNX now owns 47.7 million common units, or approximately 53.1%, of the outstanding limited partner interests in CNXM, excluding the Class B units. Upon conversion of the Class B units to CNXM common units on January 1, 2022, CNX's ownership will increase to 50.7 million units on a proforma basis.
The boards of directors of CNX and CNXM, as well as the CNXM Conflicts Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors of CNXM, unanimously approved the IDR Elimination Transaction. Commenting on the transaction, Nicholas DeIuliis, chief executive officer of CNX and CNXM, said: “This transaction simplifies our corporate structure and sets up the midstream company to excel during its next chapter, of which CNX now owns approximately 53% of the LP units. This deal is also accretive to distributable cash flow per unit."

Operations:
During the quarter, CNX used up to two horizontal rigs and drilled 12 wells. The company currently has two rigs in operation, which it expects to run into 2020, along with one frac crew. During the quarter, the company utilized one all-electric frac crew to complete seven wells, which included six Marcellus Shale wells and one Utica Shale well. In the fourth quarter, CNX turned-in-line five wells.
CNX's natural gas and liquids production in the quarter came from the following categories:

Note: "Total Production Costs" excludes Selling, General, and Administration and Other Operating Expenses.
In the fourth quarter of 2019, total production costs were higher, compared to the year-earlier quarter, due to increased transportation, gathering, and compression costs, offset in part by improvements to LOE, production taxes, and DD&A. The primary driver to the increased transportation, gathering, and compression costs was higher firm transportation costs associated with new transportation contracts and CNXM fees, partially offset by an improvement in processing fees due to a drier production mix. The improvement to LOE was driven by decreased employee costs and increased production volumes.
Marketing:
For the fourth quarter of 2019, CNX's average sales price for natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), oil, and condensate was $2.54 per Mcfe. The average realized price for all liquids for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $20.49 per barrel.
CNX's weighted average differential from NYMEX in the fourth quarter of 2019 was negative $0.51 per MMBtu. CNX's average sales price for natural gas before hedging increased 4.9% to $2.14 per Mcf compared with the average sales price of $2.04 per Mcf in the third quarter of 2019. This improvement results from a higher Henry Hub price. Including the impact of cash settlements from hedging, CNX's average sales price for natural gas was $0.04 per Mcf, or 1.6%, lower than the third quarter of 2019 and $0.56 per Mcf, or 18.5%, lower than last year's fourth quarter.
Total hedged natural gas production in the 2020 first quarter is 118.4 Bcf. The annual gas hedge position is shown in the table below:

Volumes Hedged (Bcf), as of 1/8/20 | 490.8* | 417.0 |

CNX’s hedged gas volumes include a combination of NYMEX financial hedges, index (NYMEX and basis) financial hedges, and physical fixed price sales. In addition, to protect the NYMEX hedge volumes from basis exposure, CNX enters into basis-only financial hedges and physical sales with fixed basis at certain sales points. CNX’s gas hedge position through 2024 as of January 8, 2020, is shown in the table below:

During the fourth quarter of 2019, CNX added additional NYMEX natural gas hedges of 17.9 Bcf, 24.9 Bcf, and 20.6 Bcf for 2023, 2024, and 2025, respectively. To help mitigate basis exposure on NYMEX hedges, in the fourth quarter CNX added 1.1 Bcf, 13.2 Bcf, 18.6 Bcf, 35.3 Bcf, 37.5 Bcf, 45.1 Bcf, 4.3 Bcf, and 0.4 Bcf of basis hedges for 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026, respectively.
Finance:
At December 31, 2019, CNX's Stand-alone net debt to trailing-twelve-months (TTM) adjusted Stand-alone EBITDAX (including distributions from CNXM) (a non-GAAP measure)(1) was 2.63x. On a consolidated basis, CNX's net debt to TTM adjusted EBITDAX (a non-GAAP measure)(1) was 2.86x.
At December 31, 2019, CNX's credit facility had $661 million of borrowings outstanding and $205 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $1,234 million of unused capacity. Following the IDR Elimination Transaction, CNX now holds 47.7 million CNXM limited partnership units, with a current market value of approximately $732 million as of January 24, 2020. This does not include the additional 3.0 million class B limited partnership units that will convert to CNXM common units on January 1, 2022.
No shares were repurchased during the fourth quarter of 2019.

The company increased 2020 adjusted Stand-Alone EBITDAX guidance despite an anticipated reduction in volumes, which the company expects to be offset by an increase in expected total realized price and payment associated with the IDR Elimination Transaction. The updated guidance assumes 10 Bcfe less production volumes in 2020, compared to the previous guidance update.

Total Consolidated Capital | $570 | - | $650 | $530 | - | $610 |
For 2020, the company is reducing its full-year capital guidance by $40 million, primarily due to plan optimization and streamlined activity.
For full year 2019, the company had stand-alone capital expenditures of approximately $876 million, or $27 million less than the midpoint of the previously stated guidance. For 2019 and 2020 combined, the company expects stand-alone capital expenditures to be approximately $67 million less than previously announced, resulting in approximately 6 Bcfe less production, after accounting for the 4 Bcfe accelerated from 2020 into 2019.
The company expects to generate organic FCF(a) of approximately $200 million in 2020. In 2021, CNX expects to grow annual production volumes approximately 5% and generate over $200 million in organic FCF(a). When coupled with approximately $50 million of regular ongoing annual asset sales, however, the company expects total FCF to be close to $250 million for both 2020 and 2021(a). We anticipate that the bulk of the proceeds in both 2020 and 2021 will be used to reduce the company's absolute debt and leverage ratio and/or go towards D&C investments. The company expects that the 2021 development plan will set up 2022 for additional production growth.
_______________
(a) | CNX is unable to provide a reconciliation of projected financial results contained in this release, including FCF, adjusted EBITDAX, fully burdened cash costs and other metrics 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 and total production costs, given the unknown effect, timing, and potential significance of certain income statement items. |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 consolidated is defined as EBITDAX after adjusting for the discrete items listed below. Stand-alone EBITDAX is defined as the adjusted EBITDAX related to both CNX's E&P and Unallocated segments (See Note 24 - Segment Information in CNX's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information) plus the distributions CNX receives during the current period from CNXM related to its limited partnership units, general partner units, and incentive distribution rights (IDRs). Although EBIT, EBITDAX, Stand-alone EBITDAX and adjusted EBITDAX consolidated 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, Stand-alone EBITDAX or adjusted EBITDAX consolidated identically, the presentation here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDAX per outstanding share, adjusted net income per outstanding share, Stand-alone EBITDAX and adjusted EBITDAX consolidated, with shares measured as of January 20, 2020, are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management believes that these financial measures are useful to an investor in evaluating CNX Resources because (i) analysts utilize these metrics when evaluating company performance and, (ii) given that we have an active share repurchase program, analysts have requested this information as of a recent practicable date, and we want to provide updated information to investors.
Reconciliation of EBIT, EBITDAX, adjusted EBITDAX consolidated, Stand-alone EBITDAX, adjusted net income, net debt and TTM EBITDAX to financial net income is as follows:

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 attributable to CNX Resources shareholders 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.

Cautionary Statements
We are including the following cautionary statement in this press release to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of us. With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this press release are forward-looking statements (as defined in 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) that 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. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, revenues, income and capital spending. When we use the words "believe," "intend," "expect," "may," "should," "anticipate," "could," "estimate," "plan," "predict," "project," "will," or their negatives, or other similar expressions, the statements which include those words are usually forward-looking statements. When we describe a strategy that involves risks or uncertainties, we are making forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this press release speak only as of the date of this press release; we disclaim any obligation to update these statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These risks, contingencies and uncertainties relate to, among other matters, the following: prices for natural gas and natural gas liquids are volatile and can fluctuate widely based upon a number of factors beyond our control including oversupply relative to the demand for our products, weather and the price and availability of alternative fuels; an extended decline in the prices we receive for our natural gas and natural gas liquids affecting our operating results and cash flows; our dependence on gathering, processing and transportation facilities and other midstream facilities owned by CNXM and others; disruption of, capacity constraints in, or proximity to pipeline systems that could limit sales of our natural gas and natural gas liquids, and decreases in availability of third-party pipelines or other midstream facilities interconnected to CNXM’s gathering systems; uncertainties in estimating our economically recoverable natural gas reserves, and inaccuracies in our estimates; the high-risk nature of drilling natural gas wells; our identified drilling locations are scheduled out over multiple years, making them susceptible to uncertainties that could materially alter the occurrence or timing of their drilling; the impact of potential, as well as any adopted environmental regulations including any relating to greenhouse gas emissions on our operating costs as well as on the market for natural gas and for our securities; environmental regulations introduce uncertainty that could adversely impact the market for natural gas with potential short and long-term liabilities; the risks inherent in natural gas operations, including our reliance upon third party contractors, being subject to unexpected disruptions, including geological conditions, equipment failure, timing of completion of significant construction or repair of equipment, fires, explosions, accidents and weather
11
conditions that could impact financial results; decreases in the availability of, or increases in the price of, required personnel, services, equipment, parts and raw materials to support our operations; if natural gas prices remain depressed or drilling efforts are unsuccessful, we may be required to record write-downs of our proved natural gas properties; a loss of our competitive position because of the competitive nature of the natural gas industry or overcapacity in this industry impairing our profitability; deterioration in the economic conditions in any of the industries in which our customers operate, a domestic or worldwide financial downturn, or negative credit market conditions; hedging activities may prevent us from benefiting from price increases and may expose us to other risks; our inability to collect payments from customers if their creditworthiness declines or if they fail to honor their contracts; existing and future government laws, regulations and other legal requirements that govern our business may increase our costs of doing business and may restrict our operations; significant costs and liabilities may be incurred as a result of pipeline and related facility integrity management program testing and any related pipeline repair or preventative or remedial measures; our ability to find adequate water sources for our use in natural gas drilling, or our ability to dispose of or recycle water used or removed from strata in connection with our gas operations at a reasonable cost and within applicable environmental rules; the outcomes of various legal proceedings, including those which are more fully described in our reports filed under the Exchange Act; acquisitions and divestitures we anticipate may not occur or produce anticipated benefits; risks associated with our debt; failure to find or acquire economically recoverable natural gas reserves to replace our current natural gas reserves; decrease in our borrowing base, which could decrease for a variety of reasons including lower natural gas prices, declines in natural gas proved reserves, and lending requirements or regulations; we may operate a portion of our business with one or more joint venture partners or in circumstances where we are not the operator, which may restrict our operational and corporate flexibility and we may not realize the benefits we expect to realize from a joint venture; changes in federal or state income tax laws, particularly in the area of intangible drilling costs; challenges associated with strategic determinations, including the allocation of capital and other resources to strategic opportunities; our development and exploration projects, as well as CNXM’s midstream system development, require substantial capital expenditures; terrorist attacks or cyber-attacks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations; construction of new gathering, compression, dehydration, treating or other midstream assets by CNXM may not result in revenue increases and may be subject to regulatory, environmental, political, legal and economic risks; our success depends on key members of our management and our ability to attract and retain experienced technical and other professional personnel; and CONSOL Energy may not be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations in the future and such indemnities may not be sufficient to hold us harmless from the full amount of liabilities for which CONSOL Energy has been allocated responsibility; Additional factors are described in detail under the captions "Forward Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as supplemented by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
