Analyst PowerPoint presentation used for an analyst call on July 24, 2014 by EQT management. The deck contains a number of useful and interesting slides about EQT's drilling program and midstream (pipeline) operations. EQT continues to be a major player in the Marcellus. They plan to drill their very first Utica well later this year--in Greene County, PA.

The 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 in this presentation, such as “EUR” (estimated ultimate recovery) 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. We also note that the SEC strictly prohibits us from aggregating proved,
probable and possible (3P) reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category.
Disclosures in this presentation contain certain forward-looking statements. 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 presentation 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 strategy to develop its reserves; drilling plans and programs (including spacing and the number, type, average lateral length and location of wells to
be drilled); projected natural gas prices, including liquids price uplift and changes in basis; projected market mix and Permian Basin production mix; total
resource potential, reserves, EUR and expected decline curve; projected production sales volume and growth rates (including liquids sales volume and growth
rates); internal rate of return (IRR), compound annual growth rate (CAGR), and expected after-tax returns per well; technology (including drilling and
completion techniques); projected finding and development costs, operating costs, unit costs, well costs, and gathering and transmission revenue deductions;
projected gathering and transmission volumes and growth rates; the Company’s access to, and timing of, capacity on third-party pipelines; infrastructure
programs (including the timing, cost and capacity of such programs); the timing, cost and capacity of the Ohio Valley Connector (OVC) and Mountain Valley
Pipeline (MVP) projects; the expected terms and structure of the proposed joint venture related to the MVP project, including the affiliate(s) of the Company to
own and/or operate the MVP; projected EBITDA; projected cash flows resulting from, and the value of, the Company’s general partner and limited partner
interests and incentive distribution rights in EQT Midstream Partners, including the assumptions used in making such projections; monetization transactions,
including midstream asset sales (dropdowns) to EQT Midstream Partners and other asset sales and joint ventures or other transactions involving the
Company’s assets; the amount and timing of any repurchases under the Company’s share repurchase authorization; projected capital expenditures; liquidity
and financing requirements, including funding sources and availability; projected operating revenue and cash flows; hedging strategy; the effects of government
regulation and litigation; the Company dividend and EQT Midstream Partners distribution amounts and rates; and tax position. 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, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are
beyond the Company’s control. With respect to the proposed OVC and MVP projects, these risks and uncertainties include, among others, the ability to obtain
regulatory permits and approvals, the ability to secure customer contracts, the availability of skilled labor, equipment and materials, and, with respect to the
MVP, the risk that the parties may not consummate the joint venture. Additional risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance 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, 2013, 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.
EQT Cautionary Statements
3. 3
The Company uses Adjusted EQT Midstream EBITDA as a financial measure in this presentation.
Adjusted EQT Midstream EBITDA is defined as EQT Midstream operating income (loss) plus
depreciation and amortization expense less gains on dispositions. Adjusted EQT Midstream EBITDA
also excludes EQT Midstream results associated with the Big Sandy Pipeline and Langley processing
facility. Adjusted EQT Midstream EBITDA is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjusted EQT Midstream EBITDA is a non-GAAP
supplemental financial measure that Company management and external users of the Company’s
financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, use to assess:
(i) the Company’s performance versus prior periods; (ii) the Company’s operating performance as
compared to other companies in its industry; (iii) the ability of the Company’s assets to generate
sufficient cash flow to make distributions to its investors; (iv) the Company’s ability to incur and service
debt and fund capital expenditures; and (v) the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure
projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted EQT Midstream EBITDA in this presentation
provides useful information in assessing the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
Adjusted EQT Midstream EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to EQT Midstream
operating income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance
with GAAP. Adjusted EQT Midstream EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because
it excludes some but not all items that affect operating income. Additionally, because Adjusted EQT
Midstream EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in the Company’s industry, the
Company’s definition of Adjusted EQT Midstream EBITDA will most likely not be comparable to
similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing the utility of the measure. Please see
slide 49 in the Appendix for a reconciliation of Adjusted EQT Midstream EBITDA to EQT Midstream
operating income, its most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of projected EBITDA to projected operating income,
the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, due to the unknown
effect, timing and potential significance of certain income statement items.
Non-GAAP Measures
4. 4
Finding and development costs (F&D costs) from all sources for
peer companies presented in this presentation are calculated as
the cost incurred, relating to natural gas and oil activities in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
Accounting Standards Codification 932 (ASC 932), divided by the
sum of extensions, discoveries and other additions; purchase of
natural gas and oil in place; and revisions of previous estimates,
as provided for years 2011 – 2013 and derived from publicly
available information filed with the SEC.
Per unit operating expenses are calculated by dividing the sum of
lease operating expenses, production taxes and the gathering and
transmission costs for equity gas, by production sales volumes
for the same period. Per unit operating expenses in the
presentation are calculated from publicly available information
filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2013.
