Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of EQT Corporation and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the results of its operations and equity for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and its cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to "EQT," "EQT Corporation" and "the Company" refer collectively to EQT Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

These financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. This ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models for convertible instruments. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not accounted for as derivatives under Accounting Standards Codification 815 or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the convertible instrument's embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract. Consequently, and as long as no other feature requires bifurcation and recognition as a derivative, the convertible instrument is accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. Under ASU 2020-06, entities are required to use the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on diluted earnings per share (EPS). The if-converted method assumes share settlement of the instrument, which increases the number of potentially dilutive securities used to calculate diluted EPS. This ASU also adds several new disclosure requirements.

The Company adopted this ASU effective as of January 1, 2022 using the full retrospective method of adoption. The following tables present the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on the Company's previously reported historical results. See Note 6 for discussion of the Convertible Notes (defined in Note 6).

Loss per share of common stock attributable to EQT Corporation	$	(5.55)	$	0.01	$	(5.54)

(a)For the three months ended September 30, 2021, diluted weighted average common stock outstanding did not change because the potentially dilutive securities had an anti-dilutive effect on loss per share.

(a)Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes indenture, a sale price condition for conversion of the Convertible Notes was satisfied as of December 31, 2021, and, accordingly, holders of the Convertible Notes were permitted to convert any of their Convertible Notes at their option at any time during the three months ended March 31, 2022, subject to all terms and conditions set forth in the Convertible Notes indenture. Therefore, as of December 31, 2021, the net carrying value of the Convertible Notes was included in current portion of debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Certain line items in the Statement of Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were adjusted to reflect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-06; however, the adoption did not impact cash and did not change net cash provided by operating, investing or financing activities.

2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Under the Company's natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and oil sales contracts, the Company generally considers the delivery of each unit (MMBtu or Bbl) to be a separate performance obligation that is satisfied upon delivery. These contracts typically require payment within 25 days of the end of the calendar month in which the commodity is delivered. A significant number of these contracts contain variable consideration because the payment terms refer to market prices at future delivery dates. In these situations, the Company has not identified a standalone selling price because the terms of the variable payments relate specifically to the Company's efforts to satisfy the performance obligations. Other contracts, such as fixed price contracts or contracts with a fixed differential to New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) or index prices, contain fixed consideration. The fixed consideration is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis, which requires judgment from management. For these contracts, the Company generally concludes that the fixed price or fixed differentials in the contracts are representative of the standalone selling price.

Based on management's judgment, the performance obligations for the sale of natural gas, NGLs and oil are satisfied at a point in time because the customer obtains control and legal title of the asset when the natural gas, NGLs or oil is delivered to the designated sales point.

The sales of natural gas, NGLs and oil presented in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations represent the Company's share of revenues net of royalties and exclude revenue interests owned by others. When selling natural gas, NGLs and oil on behalf of royalty or working interest owners, the Company acts as an agent and, thus, reports the revenue on a net basis.

For contracts with customers where the Company's performance obligations had been satisfied and an unconditional right to consideration existed as of the balance sheet date, the Company recorded amounts due from contracts with customers of $1,486.8 million and $1,093.9 million in accounts receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

3. Derivative Instruments

The Company's primary market risk exposure is the volatility of future prices for natural gas and NGLs, which can affect the Company's operating results. The Company uses derivative commodity instruments to hedge its cash flows from sales of produced natural gas and NGLs. The overall objective of the Company's hedging program is to protect cash flows from undue exposure to the risk of changing commodity prices.

The derivative commodity instruments used by the Company are primarily swap, collar and option agreements. These agreements may require payments to, or receipt of payments from, counterparties based on the differential between two prices for the commodity. The Company uses these agreements to hedge its NYMEX and basis exposure. The Company may also use other contractual agreements when executing its commodity hedging strategy. The Company typically enters into over the counter (OTC) derivative commodity instruments with financial institutions, and the creditworthiness of all counterparties is regularly monitored.

The Company does not designate any of its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges; therefore, all changes in fair value of the Company's derivative instruments are recognized in operating revenues in loss on derivatives in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on a gross basis. These derivative instruments are reported as either current assets or current liabilities due to their highly liquid nature. The Company can net settle its derivative instruments at any time.

Contracts that result in physical delivery of a commodity expected to be sold by the Company in the normal course of business are generally designated as normal sales and are exempt from derivative accounting. Contracts that result in the physical receipt or delivery of a commodity but are not designated or do not meet all of the criteria to qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale scope exception are subject to derivative accounting.

The Company's OTC derivative instruments generally require settlement in cash. The Company also enters into exchange traded derivative commodity instruments that are generally settled with offsetting positions. Settlements of derivative commodity instruments are reported as a component of cash flows from operating activities in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows.

With respect to the derivative commodity instruments held by the Company, the Company hedged portions of its expected sales of production and portions of its basis exposure covering approximately 1,587 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas and 1,517 thousand barrels (Mbbl) of NGLs as of September 30, 2022 and 2,184 Bcf of natural gas and 3,055 Mbbl of NGLs as of December 31, 2021. The open positions at both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 had maturities extending through December 2027.

Certain of the Company's OTC derivative instrument contracts provide that, if the Company's credit rating assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's), S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Fitch Ratings Service (Fitch) is below the agreed-upon credit rating threshold (typically, below investment grade) and if the associated derivative liability exceeds the agreed-upon dollar threshold for such credit rating, the counterparty to such contract can require the Company to deposit collateral. Similarly, if such counterparty's credit rating assigned by Moody's, S&P or Fitch is below the agreed-upon credit rating threshold and if the associated derivative liability exceeds the agreed-upon dollar threshold for such credit rating, the Company can require the counterparty to deposit collateral with the Company. Such collateral can be up to 100% of the derivative liability. Investment grade refers to the quality of a company's credit as assessed by one or more credit rating agencies. To be considered investment grade, a company must be rated "Baa3" or higher by Moody's, "BBB–" or higher by S&P and "BBB–" or higher by Fitch. Anything below these ratings is considered non-investment grade. As of September 30, 2022, the Company's senior notes were rated "Ba1" by Moody's, "BBB–" by S&P and "BBB–" by Fitch.

When the net fair value of any of the Company's OTC derivative instrument contracts represents a liability to the Company that is in excess of the agreed-upon dollar threshold for the Company's then-applicable credit rating, the counterparty has the right to require the Company to remit funds as a margin deposit in an amount equal to the portion of the derivative liability that is in excess of the dollar threshold amount. The Company records these deposits as a current asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate fair value of all OTC derivative instruments with credit rating risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $679.5 million and $594.9 million, respectively, for which the Company deposited and recorded current assets of $142.7 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

When the net fair value of any of the Company's OTC derivative instrument contracts represents an asset to the Company that is in excess of the agreed-upon dollar threshold for the counterparty's then-applicable credit rating, the Company has the right to require the counterparty to remit funds as a margin deposit in an amount equal to the portion of the derivative asset that is in excess of the dollar threshold amount. The Company records these deposits as a current liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no such deposits recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

When the Company enters into exchange traded natural gas contracts, exchanges may require the Company to remit funds to the corresponding broker as good-faith deposits to guard against the risks associated with changing market conditions. The Company is required to make such deposits based on an established initial margin requirement and the net liability position, if any, of the fair value of the associated contracts. The Company records these deposits as a current asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the fair value of such contracts is in a net asset position, the broker may remit funds to the Company. The Company records these deposits as a current liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The initial margin requirements are established by the exchanges based on the price, volatility and the time to expiration of the contract. The margin requirements are subject to change at the exchanges' discretion. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded $45.2 million and $147.7 million, respectively, of such deposits as current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Consolidated GGA (defined in Note 8) executed in connection with the Equitrans Share Exchange (defined in Note 8) provides for additional cash bonus payments (the Henry Hub Cash Bonus) payable by the Company during the period beginning on the first day of the quarter in which the Mountain Valley Pipeline is placed in service and ending on the earlier of 36 months thereafter or December 31, 2024. Such payments are conditioned upon the quarterly average of the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas settlement price exceeding certain price thresholds. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the derivative liability related to the Henry Hub Cash Bonus had a fair value of approximately $53 million and $111 million, respectively. The fair value of the derivative liability related to the Henry Hub Cash Bonus is based on significant inputs that are interpolated from observable market data and, as such, is a Level 2 fair value measurement. See Note 4 for a description of the fair value hierarchy.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company closed a transaction to sell certain non-strategic assets located in Pennsylvania and West Virginia (the 2020 Divestiture), the purchase and sale agreement for which, among other things, provides for additional cash bonus payments (the Contingent Consideration) payable to the Company of up to $20 million, conditioned upon the three-month average of the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas settlement price relative to stated floor and target price thresholds beginning on August 31, 2020 and ending on November 30, 2022. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the derivative asset related to the Contingent Consideration had a fair value of approximately $2.0 million and $8.2 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company received cash from the Contingent Consideration of $6.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Changes in fair value are recorded in gain on sale/exchange of long-lived assets in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations. The fair value of the derivative asset related to the Contingent Consideration is based on significant inputs that are interpolated from observable market data and, as such, is a Level 2 fair value measurement. See Note 4 for a description of the fair value hierarchy.

4. Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its financial instruments, which are principally derivative instruments, at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is based on models that use market-based parameters, including forward curves, discount rates, volatilities and nonperformance risk, as inputs. Nonperformance risk considers the effect of the Company's credit standing on the fair value of liabilities and the effect of the counterparty's credit standing on the fair value of assets. The Company estimates nonperformance risk by analyzing publicly available market information, including a comparison of the yield on debt instruments with credit ratings similar to the Company's or counterparty's credit rating and the yield on a risk-free instrument.

The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities recorded at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Assets and liabilities that use Level 2 inputs primarily include the Company's swap, collar and option agreements.

Table of Contents

EQT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Exchange traded commodity swaps have Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the commodity swaps with Level 2 inputs is based on standard industry income approach models that use significant observable inputs, including, but not limited to, NYMEX natural gas forward curves, LIBOR-based discount rates, basis forward curves and NGLs forward curves. The Company's collars and options are valued using standard industry income approach option models. The significant observable inputs used by the option pricing models include NYMEX forward curves, natural gas volatilities and LIBOR-based discount rates.

The table below summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The December 31, 2021 carrying value of the Company's investment in Equitrans Midstream Corporation (Equitrans Midstream) approximates fair value as Equitrans Midstream is a publicly traded company. In April 2022, the Company sold the remaining balance of its Equitrans Midstream common stock for net proceeds of approximately $189 million. The carrying value of borrowings under the Company's credit facility approximates fair value as the interest rate is based on prevailing market rates. The Company considered all of these fair values to be Level 1 fair value measurements.

The Company has an investment in a fund (the Investment Fund) that invests in companies developing technology and operating solutions for exploration and production companies. The investment is valued using, as a practical expedient, the net asset value provided in the financial statements received from fund managers.

The Company estimates the fair value of its senior notes using established fair value methodology. Because not all of the Company's senior notes are actively traded, their fair value is a Level 2 fair value measurement. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company's senior notes had a fair value of approximately $5.2 billion and $6.5 billion, respectively, and a carrying value of approximately $4.7 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, inclusive of any current portion. The fair value of the Company's note payable to EQM Midstream Partners, LP (EQM) is estimated using an income approach model with a market-based discount rate and is a Level 3 fair value measurement. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company's note payable to EQM had a fair value of approximately $96 million and $118 million, respectively, and a carrying value of approximately $96 million and $100 million, respectively, inclusive of any current portion. See Note 6 for further discussion of the Company's debt.

The Company recognizes transfers between Levels as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the periods presented.

See Note 3 for a discussion of the fair value measurement of the derivative liability recorded in connection with the Equitrans Share Exchange and the embedded derivative recorded in connection with the 2020 Divestiture. See Note 8 for a discussion of the fair value measurement of the contract asset. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of the fair value measurement of the Company's oil and gas properties and other long-lived assets, including impairment and expiration of leases.

5. Income Taxes

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company calculated the provision for income taxes for interim periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to "ordinary" income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring items) for the period. There were no material changes to the Company's methodology for determining unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded income tax benefit at an effective tax rate of (8.5)% and 25.7%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was lower compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to a reduction to deferred state taxes from the Pennsylvania law change enacted on July 8, 2022 that lowered the corporate net income tax rate from 9.99% to 8.99% in 2023 and by 0.5% thereafter until the corporate net income tax rate reaches 4.99% in 2031, partly offset by nondeductible repurchase premiums on the Convertible Notes. The Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was higher compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to state taxes, including valuation allowances limiting certain state tax benefits and West Virginia tax legislation enacted on April 13, 2021 that changed the way taxable income is apportioned to West Virginia for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA). The IRA establishes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax for certain corporations and a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases made by publicly traded U.S. corporations. The IRA also includes new and renewed options for energy credits. These changes are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact these changes will have on its financial statements and disclosures.

The Company intends to maintain a valuation allowance on certain of its state net operating loss deferred tax assets (DTAs) until there is sufficient evidence to support a reversal of all or a portion of such allowance. However, given the Company's anticipated future earnings, the Company believes that there is a reasonable possibility that, in the near term, sufficient positive evidence may become available that supports the release of a portion of the Company's valuation allowance, which would result in the recognition of certain DTAs and a decrease to income tax expense for the period in which the release is recorded. The exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release would be subject to change based on the level of profitability that the Company can achieve.

Credit Facility. The Company has a $2.5 billion credit facility. On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Third Amendment) with the lenders party thereto and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer, amending and restating the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2017 (the Credit Agreement). The Third Amendment, among other things, (i) extends the maturity date of the commitments and loans under the Credit Agreement to June 28, 2027 and provides, at the Company's option, two one-year extensions thereafter, subject to the approval of the lenders, (ii) allows for commitment increases of up to $500 million, subject to the agreement of the Company and new or existing lenders and (iii) allows for Base Rate Loans, Term SOFR Rate Loans and Swing Line Loans (each defined in the Third Amendment).

The Company had approximately $27 million and $440 million of letters of credit outstanding under its credit facility as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Under the Company's credit facility, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the maximum amount of outstanding borrowings was $1,216 million and $1,652 million, respectively, the average daily balances were approximately $717 million and $813 million, respectively, and interest was incurred at a weighted average annual interest rate of 3.8% and 1.9%, respectively. Under the Company's credit facility, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the maximum amount of outstanding borrowings was $1,300 million and $1,652 million, respectively, the average daily balances were approximately $624 million and $525 million, respectively, and interest was incurred at a weighted average annual interest rate of 2.8% and 2.0%, respectively.

3.125% Senior Notes and 3.625% Senior Notes. On May 17, 2021, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.125% senior notes due May 15, 2026 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior notes due May 15, 2031. After deducting offering costs of $15.6 million, net proceeds from the sale of the notes of $984.4 million were used to partly fund the Alta Acquisition (defined in Note 9). The covenants of the 3.125% senior notes and 3.625% senior notes are consistent with the Company's existing senior unsecured notes; however, the 3.125% senior notes and 3.625% senior notes include an offer to repurchase provision applicable upon the occurrence of certain change of control events specified in the applicable indentures.

Convertible Notes. In April 2020, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 1.75% convertible senior notes (the Convertible Notes) due May 1, 2026 unless earlier redeemed, repurchased or converted.

Holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on January 30, 2026 under the following circumstances:

•during any quarter as long as the last reported price of EQT common stock for at least 20 trading days (consecutive or otherwise) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each such trading day (the Sale Price Condition);

•during the five-business-day period after any five-consecutive-trading-day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period is less than 98% of the product of the last reported price of EQT common stock and the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes on each such trading day;

•if the Company calls any or all of the Convertible Notes for redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding such redemption date; and

•upon the occurrence of certain corporate events set forth in the Convertible Notes indenture.

On or after February 1, 2026, holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading date immediately preceding May 1, 2026.

The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to May 5, 2023. On or after May 5, 2023 and prior to February 1, 2026, the Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Convertible Notes at its option at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest up to the redemption date as long as the last reported price per share of EQT common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price in effect for at least 20 trading days (consecutive or otherwise) during any 30-consecutive-trading-day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company delivers notice of redemption. A sinking fund is not provided for the Convertible Notes.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was 66.6667 shares of EQT common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of $15.00 per share of EQT common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of 20% to the $12.50 per share closing price of EQT common stock on April 23, 2020. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to May 1, 2026 or if the Company delivers notice of redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Convertible Notes in connection with such corporate event or notice of redemption.

As a result of the cash dividend the Company paid on its common stock in the first quarter of 2022, effective February 11, 2022, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was adjusted to 67.0535 shares of EQT common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes. As a result of the cash dividend the Company paid on its common stock in the second quarter of 2022, effective May 10, 2022, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was adjusted to 67.2836 shares of EQT common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes. As a result of the cash dividend paid by the Company on its common stock in the third quarter of 2022, effective August 8, 2022, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was adjusted to 67.5232 shares of EQT common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes. Future dividend payments by the Company will result in further adjustments to the conversion rate per share of EQT common stock.

The Sale Price Condition for conversion of the Convertible Notes was satisfied as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, and, accordingly, holders of the Convertible Notes are permitted to convert any of their Convertible Notes at their option at any time beginning on January 1, 2022 and continuing until December 31, 2022, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Convertible Notes indenture. Therefore, as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2022, the net carrying value of the Convertible Notes was included in current portion of debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes Convertible Notes conversion right exercises from issuance through October 21, 2022. The Company elected to settle all such conversions by issuing to the converting holders shares of EQT common stock.


Settlement Month	Principal Converted		Shares Issued	Average Conversion Price

	(Thousands)
September 2021	$	9	599	$	19.64
March 2022	8		536	33.65
April 2022	26		1,742	34.78
July 2022	5		335	36.91
October 2022	10		674	40.14

Upon conversion of the remaining outstanding Convertible Notes, the Company may satisfy its conversion obligation by paying and/or delivering at the Company's election, in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Convertible Notes indenture, cash, shares of EQT common stock or a combination thereof. The Company intends to use a combined settlement approach to satisfy its obligation by paying or delivering to holders of the Convertible Notes cash equal to the principal amount of the obligation and EQT common stock for amounts that exceed the principal amount of the obligation.

In connection with the Convertible Notes offering, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the Capped Call Transactions), the purpose of which is to reduce the potential dilution to EQT common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such obligation, with such reduction and offset subject to a cap. The Capped Call Transactions have an initial strike price of $15.00 per share of EQT common stock and an initial capped price of $18.75 per share of EQT common stock, each of which are subject to certain customary adjustments, including adjustments as a result of the Company paying a dividend on its common stock.

The Capped Call Transactions are separate from the Convertible Notes. The Capped Call Transactions were recorded in shareholders' equity and were not accounted for as derivatives. The cost to purchase the Capped Call Transactions of $32.5 million was recorded as a reduction to equity and will not be remeasured.

Based on the closing stock price of EQT common stock of $40.75 on September 30, 2022 and excluding the impact of the Capped Call Transactions, the if-converted value of the Convertible Notes exceeded the principal amount by $727 million.

5.678% Senior Notes and 5.700% Senior Notes. On October 4, 2022, the Company issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.678% senior notes due October 1, 2025 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.700% senior notes due April 1, 2028. The Company intends to use the estimated net proceeds from the sale of the notes of $989.5 million (after deducting estimated offering costs of $10.5 million) to partly fund the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition (defined in Note 9). The covenants of the 5.678% senior notes and 5.700% senior notes are consistent with the Company's existing senior unsecured notes. The 5.678% senior notes and 5.700% senior notes have a special mandatory redemption provision that provides that if the consummation of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition does not occur on or before June 30, 2023 or if the Company notifies the trustee of the notes that it will not pursue consummation of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, the Company is required to redeem the notes of each series then outstanding at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Term Loan Facility and Bridge Loan Facility. In connection with the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Purchase Agreement (defined in Note 9), on September 6, 2022, the Company entered into a debt commitment letter, which was amended and restated on September 20, 2022. Pursuant to such amended and restated debt commitment letter, Royal Bank of Canada, PNC Bank, National Association, Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and certain other financial institutions committed to provide the Company with an unsecured bridge loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion (the Bridge Loan Facility) and an unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion (the Term Loan Facility), subject to satisfaction of standard conditions. In connection with the closing of the offering of the Company’s 5.678% senior notes and 5.700% senior notes on October 4, 2022, the commitments under the Bridge Loan Facility were automatically reduced by $989.5 million (the estimated net proceeds from the sale of the notes) in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Loan Facility. As of September 30, 2022, neither the Bridge Loan Facility nor the Term Loan Facility had closed, and, accordingly, commitments thereunder remained undrawn.

7. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, potentially dilutive securities, composed of the Company's options, restricted stock, performance awards and stock appreciation rights, of 5,879,634 and 5,719,990, respectively, were included in the Company's calculation of diluted earnings per share.

In periods when the Company reports a net loss, all options, restricted stock, performance awards and stock appreciation rights are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because of their anti-dilutive effect on loss per share. As a result, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, all such securities of 7,506,075 and 7,642,451, respectively, were excluded from potentially dilutive securities because of their anti-dilutive effect on loss per share.

EQT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

In addition, the Company uses the if-converted method to calculate the impact of the Convertible Notes on diluted earnings (loss) per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, such potentially dilutive securities of approximately 28.0 million were included in the Company's calculation of diluted earnings per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, such if-converted securities of approximately 31.6 million were excluded from potentially dilutive securities because of their anti-dilutive effect on loss per share when considering the numerator adjustments. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, such if-converted securities of approximately 33.3 million were excluded from potentially dilutive securities because of their anti-dilutive effect on loss per share. See Notes 1 and 6 for further discussion of the Convertible Notes.

8. Impairment of Contract Asset

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company sold to Equitrans Midstream approximately 50% of the Company's then-owned equity interest in Equitrans Midstream in exchange for a combination of cash and rate relief under certain of the Company's gathering contracts with an affiliate of Equitrans Midstream (the Equitrans Share Exchange). The rate relief was effected through the execution of a consolidated gas gathering and compression agreement entered into between the Company and an affiliate of Equitrans Midstream (the Consolidated GGA).

In addition, because the Mountain Valley Pipeline was not in service by January 1, 2022, the Consolidated GGA provided the Company the option to forgo a portion of the gathering fee relief that would otherwise be applicable following the Mountain Valley Pipeline in-service date in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $196 million (the Cash Payment Option). During the third quarter of 2022, the Company elected to exercise the Cash Payment Option, and, on October 4, 2022, the Company received the cash proceeds from the Cash Payment Option.

On the closing date of the Equitrans Share Exchange, the Company recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet a contract asset of $410 million representing the estimated fair value of the rate relief inclusive of the Cash Payment Option. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company identified indicators that the carrying value of the contract asset may not be fully recoverable, including increased uncertainty of the estimated timing of completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline due to recent court rulings. As a result of the Company's impairment evaluation, the Company recognized impairment of $184.9 million in the Statement of Condensed Consolidated Operations. The impairment reduced the carrying value of the contract asset to its estimated fair value as of March 31, 2022 of $225 million, of which $196 million was attributable to the Cash Payment Option provided by the Consolidated GGA and presented in prepaid expenses and other in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and $29 million was attributable to the residual rate relief realizable upon the in-service date of the Mountain Valley Pipeline and presented in contract asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the contract asset was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, as such, is a Level 3 fair value measurement. See Note 4 for a description of the fair value hierarchy. Key assumptions used in the fair value calculation included the following: (i) a probability-weighted estimate of the in-service date of the Mountain Valley Pipeline; (ii) an estimate of the potential exercise and timing of the Cash Payment Option; (iii) an estimated production volume forecast and (iv) a market-based weighted average cost of capital.

9. Acquisitions

Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition. On September 6, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with EQT Production Company (a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company), THQ Appalachia I, LLC (Tug Hill) and THQ-XcL Holdings I, LLC (XcL Midstream) (the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Purchase Agreement), pursuant to which the Company and EQT Production Company agreed to acquire Tug Hill's upstream assets and XcL Midstream's gathering and processing assets through the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of each of THQ Appalachia I Midco, LLC and THQ-XcL Holdings I Midco, LLC (the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition) for consideration of approximately $2.6 billion in cash and 55.0 million shares of EQT common stock, as adjusted pursuant to customary closing purchase price adjustments. The Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Purchase Agreement has an effective date of July 1, 2022. The Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approvals. Upon execution of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Purchase Agreement, the Company deposited $150 million into an escrow account, which will be credited toward the cash consideration upon closing of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition and is recorded in other assets in the September 30, 2022 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Alta Acquisition. On July 21, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition (the Alta Acquisition) of Alta Marcellus Development, LLC and ARD Operating, LLC and subsidiaries (together, the Alta Target Entities), pursuant to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated May 5, 2021 (the Alta Purchase Agreement), by and among the Company, EQT Acquisition HoldCo LLC (a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company), Alta Resources Development, LLC (Alta Resources) and the Alta Target Entities. The Alta Target Entities collectively held all of Alta Resources' upstream and midstream assets and liabilities. The purchase price for the Alta Acquisition consisted of approximately $1.0 billion in cash and 98,789,388 shares of EQT common stock, as adjusted pursuant to customary closing purchase price adjustments. The Alta Purchase Agreement has an effective date of January 1, 2021.

As a result of the Alta Acquisition, the Company acquired approximately 300,000 net Northeast Marcellus acres, approximately 1.0 Bcfe per day of current net production, approximately 300 miles of midstream gathering systems, approximately 100 miles of a freshwater system and a firm transportation portfolio to premium demand markets.

The Company completed the purchase price allocation for the Alta Acquisition during the second quarter of 2022, at which time the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were revised. The purchase accounting adjustments recorded in 2022 were not material to the Company's financial statements.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Consolidated Results of Operations

Net income attributable to EQT Corporation for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $683.7 million, $1.69 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to EQT Corporation for the same period in 2021 of $1,976.8 million, $5.54 per diluted share. The change was attributable primarily to increased sales of natural gas, NGLs and oil and a smaller loss on derivatives, partly offset by income tax expense, increased transportation and processing expense and decreased income from investments.

Net income attributable to EQT Corporation for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $59.0 million, $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net loss attributable to EQT Corporation for the same period in 2021 of $2,947.5 million, $9.67 per diluted share. The change was attributable primarily to increased sales of natural gas, NGLs and oil, partly offset by decreased income tax benefit, a greater loss on derivatives, increased transportation and processing expense, the impairment of our contract asset (discussed in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) and increased loss on debt extinguishment.

Results of operations for 2022 and for the period beginning July 21, 2021 and ending September 30, 2021 include the results of our operation of assets acquired in the Alta Acquisition (defined and discussed in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

See "Sales Volume and Revenues" and "Operating Expenses" for discussions of items affecting operating income and "Other Income Statement Items" for a discussion of other income statement items. See "Investing Activities" under "Capital Resources and Liquidity" for a discussion of capital expenditures.

Average Realized Price Reconciliation

The following table presents detailed natural gas and liquids operational information to assist in the understanding of our consolidated operations, including the calculation of our average realized price ($/Mcfe), which is based on adjusted operating revenues, a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure. Adjusted operating revenues is presented because it is an important measure we use to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of earnings trends. Adjusted operating revenues should not be considered as an alternative to total operating revenues. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation" for a reconciliation of adjusted operating revenues with total operating revenues, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

The table below reconciles adjusted operating revenues, a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure, with total operating revenues, its most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted operating revenues (also referred to in this report as total natural gas and liquids sales, including cash settled derivatives) is presented because it is an important measure we use to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of earnings trends. Adjusted operating revenues excludes the revenue impacts of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement and net marketing services and other. We use adjusted operating revenues to evaluate earnings trends because, as a result of the measure's exclusion of the often-volatile changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement, the measure reflects only the impact of settled derivative contracts. Net marketing services and other consists of the costs of, and recoveries on, pipeline capacity releases, revenues for gathering services provided to third parties and other revenues. Because we consider net marketing services and other to be unrelated to our natural gas and liquids production activities, adjusted operating revenues excludes net marketing services and other. We believe that adjusted operating revenues provides useful information to investors for evaluating period-to-period comparisons of earnings trends.

Sales of natural gas, NGLs and oil. Sales of natural gas, NGLs and oil increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to a higher average realized price, partly offset by decreased sales volume.

Average realized price for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 increased due to higher NYMEX prices, partly offset by unfavorable cash settled derivatives and unfavorable differential. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we paid $2,033.7 million and $619.9 million, respectively, of net cash settlements on derivatives, which are included in average realized price but may not be included in operating revenues.

Sales volume decreased primarily as a result of sales volume decreases from natural decline of producing wells and fewer wells turned-in-line, partly offset by sales volume increases from the assets acquired in the Alta Acquisition. Sales volume for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was negatively impacted by fewer wells turned-in-line as a result of third-party supply chain constraints. Supply chain constraints may continue to impact our future operating revenues. The pending Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approvals, is expected to add approximately 800 MMcfe per day of sales volume, 20% of which is liquids sales volume.

Loss on derivatives. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized a loss on derivatives of $1,627.3 million and $3,257.2 million, respectively, related primarily to decreases in the fair market value of our NYMEX swaps and options due to increases in NYMEX forward prices.

Exploration. Exploration decreased on an absolute and per Mcfe basis for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due primarily to our prior year purchase of seismic data following the completion of the Alta Acquisition.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased on an absolute and per Mcfe basis for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due primarily to higher long-term incentive compensation costs as a result of changes in the fair value of awards. Long-term incentive compensation may fluctuate with changes in our stock price and performance conditions.

Depreciation and depletion. Production depletion expense decreased on an absolute and per Mcfe basis for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to a lower annual depletion rate and decreased sales volume.

Impairment and expiration of leases. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized impairment and expiration of leases of $20.5 million and $41.1 million, respectively, related to leases that we no longer expect to extend or develop prior to their expiration based on our development plan.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $15.5 million were attributable primarily to changes in legal reserves as well as transaction costs associated with the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition.

Gain on sale/exchange of long-lived assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized a gain on sale of long-lived assets of $2.5 million and $18.4 million, respectively, related primarily to changes in the fair value of the Contingent Consideration (defined in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Impairment of contract asset. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized impairment of our contract asset of $184.9 million. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Impairment and expiration of leases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized impairment and expiration of leases of $97.5 million and $83.5 million, respectively, related to leases that we no longer expect to extend or develop prior to their expiration based on our development plan.

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 of $39.0 million were attributable primarily to changes in legal and environmental reserves as well as transaction costs associated with the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition. Other operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 of $53.4 million were attributable primarily to transaction costs associated with the Alta Acquisition and our acquisition of upstream assets from Chevron U.S.A. Inc. in November 2020.

Other Income Statement Items

(Income) loss from investments. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized income from investments due to equity earnings on our equity method investments, partly offset by a loss on our investment in the Investment Fund (defined in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). For the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized income from investments due primarily to a gain on our investment in Equitrans Midstream.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a loss from investments due to a loss on the sale of our investment in Equitrans Midstream, which resulted from a decrease in Equitrans Midstream's stock price to $8.65 as of April 20, 2022, the date of the final sale of our investment, from $10.34 as of December 31, 2021, partly offset by equity earnings on our equity method investments and a gain on our investment in the Investment Fund. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized income from investments due primarily to a gain on our investments in Equitrans Midstream and the Investment Fund.

Dividend and other income. Dividend and other income decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due primarily to decreased dividends received on our investment in Equitrans Midstream, which was fully disposed in April 2022.

Loss on debt extinguishment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $27.8 million and $139.1 million, respectively, due to the debt repayment and repurchases discussed in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $9.8 million due to fees incurred for a bridge-loan commitment related to the Alta Acquisition and the repayment of our 4.875% senior notes.

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due primarily to reduced interest expense on our senior notes driven by lower balances and lower interest rates as well as reduced interest expense due to a reduction of letters of credit balances, partly offset by increased interest expense due primarily to increased interest rates on borrowings under our credit facility. Interest expense decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due primarily to reduced interest expense on our senior notes driven by lower interest rates and lower balances as well as reduced interest expense due to a reduction of letters of credit balances, partly offset by increased interest expense due primarily to increased interest rates and higher borrowings under our credit facility. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income tax expense (benefit). See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Although we cannot provide any assurance, we believe cash flows from operating activities and availability under our credit facility should be sufficient to meet our cash requirements inclusive of, but not limited to, normal operating needs, debt service obligations, planned capital expenditures and commitments for at least the next twelve months and, based on current expectations, for the long term.

Planned Capital Expenditures and Sales Volume. In 2022, we expect to spend approximately $1.400 billion to $1.475 billion in total capital expenditures, excluding amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest and amounts attributable to the assets expected to be acquired in the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition. We expect to fund our capital expenditures with cash generated from operations and, if required, borrowings under our credit facility. Because we are the operator of a high percentage of our developed acreage, the amount and timing of these capital expenditures are largely discretionary. We could choose to defer a portion of these planned 2022 capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including prevailing and anticipated prices for natural gas, NGLs and oil; the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital; the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals; and drilling, completion and acquisition costs. In 2022, we expect our sales volume to be 1,925 Bcfe to 1,975 Bcfe, excluding amounts attributable to the assets expected to be acquired in the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,402 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $492 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was due primarily to higher cash operating revenues and favorable changes in working capital, partly offset by higher net cash settlements paid on derivatives and higher cash operating expenses.

During the third quarter of 2022, we elected to exercise the Cash Payment Option pursuant to the Consolidated GGA (each defined and discussed in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), and, on October 4, 2022, we received the cash proceeds from the Cash Payment Option.

Our cash flows from operating activities are affected by movements in the market price for commodities. We are unable to predict such movements outside of the current market view as reflected in forward strip pricing. Refer to Item 1A., "Risk Factors – Natural gas, NGLs and oil price volatility, or a prolonged period of low natural gas, NGLs and oil prices, may have an adverse effect on our revenue, profitability, future rate of growth, liquidity and financial position" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,017 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1,715 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was due to cash paid for acquisitions in 2021 and proceeds from the sale of our remaining investment in Equitrans Midstream common stock in 2022, partly offset by increased capital expenditures and a deposit on acquisition in 2022.

(a)Capital expenditures attributable to noncontrolling interest were $6.6 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $11.0 million and $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(b)Represents the net impact of non-cash capital expenditures, including the effect of timing of receivables from working interest partners, accrued capital expenditures and capitalized share-based compensation costs. The impact of accrued capital expenditures includes the current period estimate, net of the reversal of the prior period accrual.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $1,411 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,228 million for the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the primary uses of financing cash flows were repayment and retirement of debt, repurchase and retirement of EQT common stock and payment of dividends. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the primary sources of financing cash flows were net proceeds from the issuance of debt and credit facility borrowings, and the primary use of financing cash flows was net repayments of debt.

See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our debt and borrowings under our credit facility.

On October 20, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of EQT common stock, payable on December 1, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 9, 2022.

Depending on our actual and anticipated sources and uses of liquidity, prevailing market conditions and other factors, we may from time to time seek to redeem or repurchase our outstanding debt or equity securities through tender offers or other cash purchases in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. The amounts involved in any such transactions may be material. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of redemptions and repurchases of debt.

Material Cash Requirements. On September 6, 2022, we entered into the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Purchase Agreement (defined in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire THQ Appalachia I, LLC's upstream assets and THQ-XcL Holdings I, LLC's gathering and processing assets through the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of each of THQ Appalachia I Midco, LLC and THQ-XcL Holdings I Midco, LLC for consideration of approximately $2.6 billion in cash and 55.0 million shares of EQT common stock, as adjusted pursuant to customary closing purchase price adjustments. Upon execution of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Purchase Agreement, we deposited $150 million into an escrow account, which will be credited toward the cash consideration upon closing of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition. On October 4, 2022, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.678% senior notes due October 1, 2025 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.700% senior notes due April 1, 2028. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes, together with borrowings under the Term Loan Facility (defined in Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), cash on hand and/or borrowings under our credit facility, to fund the cash consideration for the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition. The Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approvals.

Security Ratings and Financing Triggers

The table below reflects the credit ratings and rating outlooks assigned to our debt instruments as of October 21, 2022. Our credit ratings and rating outlooks are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency, and each rating should be evaluated independent from any other rating. We cannot ensure that a rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn by a rating agency if, in the rating agency's judgment, circumstances so warrant. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of what is deemed investment grade.

Changes in credit ratings may affect our access to the capital markets, the cost of short-term debt through interest rates and fees under our credit facility, the interest rate on our senior notes with adjustable rates, the rates available on new long-term debt, our pool of investors and funding sources, the borrowing costs and margin deposit requirements on our over the counter (OTC) derivative instruments and credit assurance requirements, including collateral, in support of our midstream service contracts, joint venture arrangements or construction contracts. Margin deposits on our OTC derivative instruments are also subject to factors other than credit rating, such as natural gas prices and credit thresholds set forth in the agreements between us and our hedging counterparties.

As of October 21, 2022, we had sufficient unused borrowing capacity, net of letters of credit, under our credit facility to satisfy any requests for margin deposit or other collateral that our counterparties are permitted to request of us pursuant to our OTC derivative instruments, midstream services contracts and other contracts. As of October 21, 2022, such assurances could be up to approximately $0.7 billion, inclusive of letters of credit, OTC derivative instrument margin deposits and other collateral posted of approximately $0.3 billion in the aggregate. See Notes 3 and 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Our debt agreements and other financial obligations contain various provisions that, if not complied with, could result in default or event of default under our credit facility, mandatory partial or full repayment of amounts outstanding, reduced loan capacity or other similar actions. The most significant covenants and events of default under the debt agreements relate to maintenance of a debt-to-total capitalization ratio, limitations on transactions with affiliates, insolvency events, nonpayment of scheduled principal or interest payments, acceleration of other financial obligations and change of control provisions. Our credit facility contains financial covenants that require us to have a total debt to total capitalization ratio no greater than 65%. As of September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all debt provisions and covenants under our debt agreements.

See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of borrowings under our credit facility.

Commodity Risk Management

The substantial majority of our commodity risk management program is related to hedging sales of our produced natural gas. The overall objective of our hedging program is to protect cash flows from undue exposure to the risk of changing commodity prices. The derivative commodity instruments that we use are primarily swap, collar and option agreements. The following table summarizes the approximate volume and prices of our NYMEX hedge positions as of October 21, 2022. The difference between the fixed price and NYMEX price is included in average differential presented in our price reconciliation in "Average Realized Price Reconciliation." The fixed price natural gas sales agreements can be physically or financially settled.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

We have also entered into derivative instruments to hedge basis. We may use other contractual agreements to implement our commodity hedging strategy from time to time.

See Item 3., "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our hedging program.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, various legal and regulatory claims and proceedings are pending or threatened against us. While the amounts claimed may be substantial, we are unable to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of such claims and proceedings. We accrue legal and other direct costs related to loss contingencies when actually incurred. We have established reserves that we believe to be appropriate for pending matters and, after consultation with counsel and giving appropriate consideration to available insurance, we believe that the ultimate outcome of any pending matter involving us will not materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 3., "Legal Proceedings" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a discussion of our commitments and contingencies.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Our recently issued accounting standards are described in Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies, including a discussion regarding the estimation uncertainty and the impact that our critical accounting estimates have had, or are reasonably likely to have, on our financial condition or results of operations, are described in Item 7., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The application of our critical accounting policies may require us to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We use historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments. Different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk and Derivative Instruments. Our primary market risk exposure is the volatility of future prices for natural gas and NGLs. Due to the volatility of commodity prices, we are unable to predict future potential movements in the market prices for natural gas and NGLs at our ultimate sales points and, thus, cannot predict the ultimate impact of prices on our operations. Prolonged low, or significant, extended declines in, natural gas and NGLs prices could adversely affect, among other things, our development plans, which would decrease the pace of development and the level of our proved reserves. Increases in natural gas and NGLs prices may be accompanied by, or result in, increased well drilling costs, increased production taxes, increased LOE, increased volatility in seasonal gas price spreads for our storage assets and increased end-user conservation or conversion to alternative fuels. In addition, to the extent we have hedged our production at prices below the current market price, we will not benefit fully from an increase in the price of natural gas, and, depending on our then-current credit ratings and the terms of our hedging contracts, we may be required to post additional margin with our hedging counterparties.

The overall objective of our hedging program is to protect cash flows from undue exposure to the risk of changing commodity prices. Our use of derivatives is further described in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and "Commodity Risk Management" under "Capital Resources and Liquidity" in Item 2., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Our OTC derivative commodity instruments are placed primarily with financial institutions and the creditworthiness of those institutions is regularly monitored. We primarily enter into derivative instruments to hedge forecasted sales of production. We also enter into derivative instruments to hedge basis. Our use of derivative instruments is implemented under a set of policies approved by our management-level Hedge and Financial Risk Committee and is reviewed by our Board of Directors.

For derivative commodity instruments used to hedge our forecasted sales of production, which are at, for the most part, NYMEX natural gas prices, we set policy limits relative to the expected production and sales levels that are exposed to price risk. We have an insignificant amount of financial natural gas derivative commodity instruments for trading purposes.

Table of Contents

The derivative commodity instruments we use are primarily swap, collar and option agreements. These agreements may require payments to, or receipt of payments from, counterparties based on the differential between two prices for the commodity. We use these agreements to hedge our NYMEX and basis exposure. We may also use other contractual agreements when executing our commodity hedging strategy.

We monitor price and production levels on a continuous basis and make adjustments to quantities hedged as warranted.

A hypothetical decrease of 10% in the NYMEX natural gas price on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 would increase the fair value of our natural gas derivative commodity instruments by approximately $500 million and $577 million, respectively. A hypothetical increase of 10% in the NYMEX natural gas price on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 would decrease the fair value of our natural gas derivative commodity instruments by approximately $604 million and $581 million, respectively. For purposes of this analysis, we applied the 10% change in the NYMEX natural gas price on September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 to our natural gas derivative commodity instruments as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 to calculate the hypothetical change in fair value. The change in fair value was determined using a method similar to our normal process for determining derivative commodity instrument fair value described in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The above analysis of our derivative commodity instruments does not include the offsetting impact that the same hypothetical price movement may have on our physical sales of natural gas. The portfolio of derivative commodity instruments held to hedge our forecasted produced gas approximates a portion of our expected physical sales of natural gas; therefore, an adverse impact to the fair value of the portfolio of derivative commodity instruments held to hedge our forecasted production associated with the hypothetical changes in commodity prices referenced above should be offset by a favorable impact on our physical sales of natural gas, assuming that the derivative commodity instruments are not closed in advance of their expected term and the derivative commodity instruments continue to function effectively as hedges of the underlying risk.

If the underlying physical transactions or positions are liquidated prior to the maturity of the derivative commodity instruments, a loss on the financial instruments may occur or the derivative commodity instruments might be worthless as determined by the prevailing market value on their termination or maturity date, whichever comes first.

Interest Rate Risk. Changes in market interest rates affect the amount of interest we earn on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and the interest rate we pay on borrowings under our credit facility. None of the interest we pay on our senior notes fluctuates based on changes to market interest rates. A 1% increase in interest rates on the borrowings under our credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 would have increased interest expense by approximately $6 million.

Interest rates on our 6.125% senior notes due 2025 and 7.00% senior notes due 2030 fluctuate based on changes to the credit ratings assigned to our senior notes by Moody's, S&P and Fitch. Interest rates on our other outstanding senior notes do not fluctuate based on changes to the credit ratings assigned to our senior notes by Moody's, S&P and Fitch. For a discussion of credit rating downgrade risk, see Item 1A., "Risk Factors – Our exploration and production operations have substantial capital requirements, and we may not be able to obtain needed capital or financing on satisfactory terms" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. Changes in interest rates affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our debt and Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of fair value measurements, including the fair value measurement of our debt.

Other Market Risks. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to our derivative contracts. This credit exposure is limited to derivative contracts with a positive fair value, which may change as market prices change. Our OTC derivative instruments are primarily with financial institutions and, thus, are subject to events that would impact those companies individually as well as the financial industry as a whole. We use various processes and analyses to monitor and evaluate our credit risk exposures, including monitoring current market conditions and counterparty credit fundamentals. Credit exposure is controlled through credit approvals and limits based on counterparty credit fundamentals. To manage the level of credit risk, we enter into transactions primarily with financial counterparties that are of investment grade, enter into netting agreements whenever possible and may obtain collateral or other security.

Approximately 22%, or $1,151 million, of our OTC derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2022 had a positive fair value. Approximately 17%, or $477 million, of our OTC derivative contracts outstanding at December 31, 2021 had a positive fair value.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2022, we were not in default under any derivative contracts and had no knowledge of default by any counterparty to our derivative contracts. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we made no adjustments to the fair value of our derivative contracts due to credit related concerns outside of the normal non-performance risk adjustment included in our established fair value procedure. We monitor market conditions that may impact the fair value of our derivative contracts.

We are exposed to the risk of nonperformance by credit customers on physical sales of natural gas, NGLs and oil. Revenues and related accounts receivable from our operations are generated primarily from the sale of produced natural gas, NGLs and oil to marketers, utilities and industrial customers located in the Appalachian Basin and in markets that are accessible through our transportation portfolio, which includes markets in the Gulf Coast, Midwest and Northeast United States and Canada. We also contract with certain processors to market a portion of NGLs on our behalf.

No one lender of the large group of financial institutions in the syndicate for our credit facility holds more than 10% of the financial commitments under such facility. The large syndicate group and relatively low percentage of participation by each lender are expected to limit our exposure to disruption or consolidation in the banking industry.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the third quarter of 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, various legal and regulatory claims and proceedings are pending or threatened against us. While the amounts claimed may be substantial, we are unable to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of such claims and proceedings. We accrue legal and other direct costs related to loss contingencies when actually incurred. We have established reserves in amounts that we believe to be appropriate for pending matters and, after consultation with counsel and giving appropriate consideration to available insurance, we believe that the ultimate outcome of any pending matter involving us will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

There have been no material updates to the matters previously disclosed in Item 3, "Legal Proceedings" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A., "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 other than those listed in this section.

Completion of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition is subject to conditions, including certain conditions that may not be satisfied or completed on a timely basis or at all. Failure to complete the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition could have material and adverse effects on us.

Completion of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the termination or expiration of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. Such conditions, some of which are beyond our control, may not be satisfied or waived in a timely manner or at all and therefore make the completion and timing of the completion of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition uncertain. In addition, the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for both us and THQ Appalachia I, LLC (Tug Hill) and THQ-XcL Holdings I, LLC (XcL Midstream and, together with Tug Hill, the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Sellers), which if exercised, will also result in the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition not being consummated. Furthermore, the governmental authorities from which the regulatory approvals are required may impose conditions on the completion of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition or require changes to the terms thereof. Such conditions or changes and the process of obtaining regulatory approvals could have the effect of delaying or impeding consummation of the transactions or of imposing additional costs or limitations on us following completion of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, any of which might have an adverse effect on us following completion of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition.

If the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition is not completed, our ongoing business may be adversely affected and, without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, we will be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

•we will be required to pay our costs relating to the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, such as legal, accounting and financial advisory expenses, whether or not the transactions are completed;

•time and resources committed by our management to matters relating to the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition could otherwise have been devoted to pursuing other beneficial opportunities; and

•the market price of EQT’s common stock could decline to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition will be completed.

In addition to the above risks, if the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Purchase Agreement is terminated and our Board of Directors seeks another acquisition, EQT’s shareholders cannot be certain that we will be able to find a party willing to enter into a transaction as attractive to us as the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition. Also, if the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Purchase Agreement is terminated under certain specified circumstances by the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Sellers, the $150.0 million deposit placed by us into escrow, to be credited toward the cash consideration payable at the closing of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, will be disbursed to the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Sellers.

If the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition is consummated, we may be unable to successfully integrate the Tug Hill assets or the XcL Midstream assets into our business or achieve the anticipated benefits of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition.

Our ability to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition will depend in part upon whether we can integrate the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream assets and their operations into our existing business in an efficient and effective manner. We may not be able to accomplish this integration process successfully. The successful acquisition of producing properties, including the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream assets, requires an assessment of several factors, including:

•recoverable reserves;

•future natural gas and oil prices and their appropriate differentials;

•availability and cost of transportation of production to markets;

•availability and cost of drilling equipment and of skilled personnel;

•development and operating costs including access to water and potential environmental and other liabilities; and

•regulatory, permitting and similar matters.

Table of Contents

The accuracy of these assessments is inherently uncertain. In connection with our assessment of Tug Hill’s assets, we have performed a review of the subject properties that we believe to be generally consistent with industry practices. The review was based on our analysis of historical production data, assumptions regarding capital expenditures and anticipated production declines without review by an independent petroleum engineering firm. Data used in such review was furnished by the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Sellers or obtained from publicly available sources. Our review may not reveal all existing or potential problems or permit us to fully assess the deficiencies and potential recoverable reserves for all of Tug Hill’s assets, and the reserves and production related to the Tug Hill assets may differ materially after such data is reviewed by an independent petroleum engineering firm or further by us. Inspections were not performed on every well, and environmental problems are not necessarily observable even when an inspection is undertaken.

The integration process may be subject to delays or changed circumstances, and we can give no assurance that the Tug Hill assets or the XcL Midstream assets will perform in accordance with our expectations or that our expectations with respect to integration or cost savings as a result of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition will materialize.

We and the subsidiaries of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Sellers that we intend to acquire in the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition (the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Companies) will be subject to business uncertainties while the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition is pending, which could adversely affect our business.

In connection with the pendency of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, it is possible that certain persons with whom we or the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Companies have a business relationship may delay or defer certain business decisions or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationships with us or the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Companies, as the case may be, as a result of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, which could negatively affect our or the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Companies’ revenues, earnings and cash flows as well as the market price of EQT’s common stock, regardless of whether the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition is completed. Also, our and the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Companies’ ability to attract, retain and motivate employees may be impaired until the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition is completed, and our ability to do so may be impaired for a period of time thereafter, as current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their roles within the company following the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition.

Under the terms of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Purchase Agreement, both we and the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Companies are subject to certain restrictions on the conduct of business prior to the effective time of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, which may adversely affect our and the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Companies’ ability to execute certain of our and their business strategies, including the ability in certain cases to modify or enter into certain contracts, acquire or dispose of certain assets, incur or prepay certain indebtedness, incur encumbrances, make capital expenditures or settle claims. Such limitations could negatively affect our and the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Companies’ businesses and operations prior to the completion of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition.

We will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition.

We have incurred, and are expected to continue to incur, a number of non-recurring costs associated with the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, combining the operations of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream assets with ours and achieving desired synergies. These costs have been, and will continue to be, substantial and, in many cases, will be borne by us whether or not the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition is completed. A substantial majority of non-recurring expenses will consist of transaction costs and include, among others, fees paid to financial, legal, accounting and other advisors and employee retention, severance and benefit costs. We will also incur costs related to formulating and implementing integration plans. Although we expect that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of synergies and efficiencies related to the integration of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream assets, should allow us to offset these transaction costs over time, this net benefit may not be achieved in the near term or at all.

Securities class action and derivative lawsuits may be brought against us in connection with the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition from being completed.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into acquisition, merger or other business combination agreements. Even if such a lawsuit is without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on our liquidity and financial condition.

Table of Contents

Lawsuits that may be brought against us or our or their directors could also seek, among other things, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, including a request to enjoin us from consummating the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition. One of the conditions to the closing of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition is that no court, tribunal or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction has issued a final and non-appealable order, decree, judgment or law prohibiting the consummation of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition. Consequently, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting completion of the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition, that injunction may delay or prevent the Tug Hill and XcL Midstream Acquisition from being completed within the expected timeframe or at all, which may adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operation.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Conversion of Certain Convertible Notes

In September 2022, we received notices from holders of the Convertible Notes requesting the conversion of the aggregate principal of Convertible Notes stated in the table below (the Converted Notes). We settled the conversion of the Converted Notes by issuing to the converting holders of the Converted Notes shares of EQT common stock. Such shares were issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) thereof, because no commission or other remuneration was paid in connection with conversion of the Converted Notes.

(c)On December 13, 2021, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $1 billion, excluding fees, commissions and expenses. On September 6, 2022, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a $1 billion increase to the share repurchase program announced on December 13, 2021, pursuant to which approval we are authorized to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $2 billion, excluding fees, commissions and expenses. Repurchases under the share repurchase program may be made from time to time in amounts and at prices we deem appropriate and will be subject to a variety of factors, including the market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other considerations. The share repurchase program expires December 31, 2023 but may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. As of September 30, 2022, we had purchased shares under this authorization for an aggregate purchase price of $304.2 million, excluding fees, commissions and expenses. The total number of shares purchased and the approximate dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under our repurchase authority reported in this table reflect shares purchased in each month based on the trade date; however, certain purchases may not have settled until the following month.
