How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

non-gaap financial measure financial

"A non-GAAP financial measure."

A non-GAAP financial measure is a way companies present their financial results that excludes certain expenses or income to show how they believe their core business is performing. It matters because it can give a clearer picture of how the company is really doing, but it can also be used to make results look better than they actually are.

derivative instruments financial

"The Company also entered into derivative instruments to hedge basis."

Contracts whose value is tied to the price or performance of something else—like a stock, bond, commodity, currency or market index. Think of them as a bet or an insurance policy that lets investors gain exposure, hedge risk, or speculate without owning the asset itself; their use can amplify gains or losses and affect a portfolio’s risk profile, liquidity and potential returns.

lng technical

"Signed 10-year LNG sales agreement with Ignitis Group"

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled into a liquid so it takes up far less space for transport and storage, like turning a bulky bundle into a compact package for shipping. Investors care because LNG enables gas trade across regions without pipelines, so changes in production, export capacity, shipping, or demand can quickly affect energy company revenues, infrastructure operators and commodity prices, amplifying both opportunity and risk.

CANONSBURG, Pa., Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT) today announced financial and operational results for the third quarter of 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Results:

• Production: Sales volume of 583 Bcfe, inclusive of 21 Bcfe of strategic curtailments
• Capital Expenditures: $638 million, 10% below the low-end of guidance, driven by lower-than-expected upstream and midstream spending and continued benefit from operational efficiency gains
• Realized Pricing: Differential of $(0.64) favorable to guidance despite widening basis during the quarter due to benefits from marketing optimization and curtailment strategy
• Operating Costs: Total per unit operating costs of $1.09 per Mcfe, at the low end of guidance driven by lower-than-expected LOE and production tax
• Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,083 million; generated free cash flow attributable to EQT⁽¹⁾ of $283 million
• Balance Sheet: Exited the quarter with $5.6 billion total debt and just under $5.5 billion net debt⁽¹⁾

Third Quarter 2026 and Recent Highlights:

• Range Acquisition: Announced strategic acquisition of Range Resources Corporation, which will create America's largest and only vertically integrated natural gas producer with leading inventory depth, lowest cost structure, a fortress balance sheet and the largest natural gas marketing platform in the country
• POWER Pipeline: Launched open season for new 42-inch POWER Pipeline project connecting EQT's core Marcellus assets in Pennsylvania to growing demand at the Clarington hub in Ohio
• LNG Sales Contract: Signed 10-year LNG sales agreement with Ignitis Group, the largest supplier of electricity and natural gas in Lithuania
• Gulf Coast Storage: Contracted for 7 Bcf of storage capacity at Leaf River Energy Center's salt dome expansion project along the Gulf Coast; increases EQT's Gulf Coast storage capacity up to 11 Bcf and provides optimization flexibility to support the LNG business
• Dividend Increase: Increased dividend by 3% to $0.68 per share annualized; compounded annual dividend growth rate of ~7% since 2022 with durability underpinned by material cost structure improvements and synergy capture over this period

President and CEO Toby Z. Rice stated, "Third quarter results built on what has been an exceptional year of execution at EQT. Despite downward pressure on natural gas prices during the quarter, our marketing efforts drove stronger realized pricing, operating expenses came in at the low end of guidance and capital spending was well below expectations as efficiencies continue to accrue. This resulted in yet another quarter of greater-than-expected free cash flow generation."

Rice added, "We also announced our strategic combination with Range Resources, pairing two of the highest-quality, longest-duration asset bases in North America and creating a company uniquely positioned for the next era of natural gas. Our expanded resource base solidifies EQT as the operator of choice for premium, long-term supply arrangements and provides unique growth optionality underpinned by contractual demand. We believe this combination creates a must-own energy company capable of generating durable, through-cycle free cash flow while compounding value for shareholders for decades to come."

Non-GAAP Disclosures
This news release includes the non-GAAP financial measures described below. These non-GAAP measures are defined and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information only and should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income attributable to EQT Corporation, diluted EPS, net income, net cash provided by operating activities, total Upstream operating revenues, total debt or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from these non-GAAP measures are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital, tax structure and historic costs of depreciable assets.

Adjusted Net Income Attributable to EQT and Adjusted EPS
Adjusted net income attributable to EQT is defined as net income attributable to EQT Corporation, excluding (gain) loss on sale/exchange of long-lived assets, impairments, the revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement and certain other items that the Company's management believes do not reflect the Company's core operating performance. Adjusted EPS is defined as adjusted net income attributable to EQT divided by diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

The Company's management believes that adjusted net income attributable to EQT and adjusted EPS provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because it helps facilitate comparisons of operating performance and earnings trends across periods by excluding the impact of items that, in their opinion, do not reflect the Company's core operating performance. For example, adjusted net income attributable to EQT and adjusted EPS reflect only the impact of settled derivative contracts; thus, the measures exclude the often-volatile revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement.

The table below reconciles adjusted net income attributable to EQT and adjusted EPS with net income attributable to EQT Corporation and diluted EPS, respectively, the most comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, each as derived from the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations to be included in EQT Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Adjusted EPS	$          0.42		$          0.52		$          3.13		$          2.15

(a)

Consists primarily of transaction costs associated with acquisitions and other strategic transactions as well as costs related to exploring new venture opportunities. Other expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 included the impact of $21.0 million and $24.5 million, respectively, of cash transaction costs related to the Company's acquisition of Olympus Energy (the Olympus Energy Acquisition), and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included the impact of $133.7 million of net expense related to a securities class action settlement.

(b)

The tax impact of non-GAAP items represents the incremental tax expense/benefit that would have been incurred by the Company had these items been excluded from net income attributable to EQT Corporation. This approach resulted in a blended tax rate of 24.3% and 24.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 25.3% and 25.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The blended tax rates differ from the Company's statutory tax rate due primarily to state taxes, including valuation allowances limiting certain state tax benefits.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests and Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to EQT
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding net interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, (gain) loss on sale/exchange of long-lived assets, impairments, the revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement and certain other items that the Company's management believes do not reflect the Company's core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to EQT is defined as adjusted EBITDA less adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests is defined as the proportionate share of adjusted EBITDA attributable to the third-party ownership interests in the Non-Wholly Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries (defined below).

The Company's management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because they help facilitate comparisons of operating performance and earnings trends across periods by excluding the impact of items that, in their opinion, do not reflect the Company's core operating performance. For example, adjusted EBITDA reflects only the impact of settled derivative instruments and excludes the often-volatile revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement. In addition, adjusted EBITDA includes the impact of distributions received from equity method investments, which excludes the impact of depreciation included within equity earnings from equity method investments and helps facilitate comparisons of the core operating performance of the Company's equity method investments.

The table below reconciles adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA attributable to EQT with net income, the most comparable financial measure as calculated in accordance with GAAP, as reported in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations to be included in EQT Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Consists primarily of transaction costs associated with acquisitions and other strategic transactions as well as costs related to exploring new venture opportunities. Other expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 included the impact of $21.0 million and $24.5 million, respectively, of cash transaction costs related to the Olympus Energy Acquisition, and, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included the impact of $133.7 million of net expense related to a securities class action settlement.

(b)

A non-GAAP financial measure. See below for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable financial measure as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The Company consolidates its controlling equity interests in the Midstream JV and Eureka Midstream Holdings, LLC (Eureka Holdings and, together with the Midstream JV, the Non-Wholly Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries). The table below reconciles adjusted EBITDA of the Non-Wholly Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries and adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests with net income of the Non-Wholly Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries, the most comparable financial measure as calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management believes that adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests provides useful information to investors regarding the impact of the third-party ownership interest in the Non-Wholly Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

(a)

Adjusted EBITDA of the Non-Wholly Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries attributable to EQT is calculated based on EQT Corporation's current 40% Class A Unitholder share of available cash flow distributions from the Midstream JV and 60% ownership interest in Eureka Holdings. The Company believes that using its distribution share from the Midstream JV in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA of the Non-Wholly Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries attributable to EQT best reflects the economic impact of the Company's investment in the Midstream JV on adjusted EBITDA and earnings trends.

Adjusted Operating Cash Flow, Adjusted Operating Cash Flow Attributable to EQT, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Attributable to EQT
Adjusted operating cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less changes in other assets and liabilities. Adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT is defined as adjusted operating cash flow less adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests excluding net interest expense attributable to noncontrolling interests. Free cash flow is defined as adjusted operating cash flow less accrual-based capital expenditures and capital contributions to equity method investments. Free cash flow attributable to EQT is defined as adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT less accrual-based capital expenditures and capital contributions to equity method investments excluding the proportionate share of accrual-based capital expenditures and capital contributions to equity method investments attributable to the third-party ownership interests in the Non-Wholly Owned Consolidated Subsidiaries.

The Company's management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's liquidity, including the Company's ability to generate cash flow in excess of its capital requirements and return cash to shareholders.

The tables below reconcile adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT, free cash flow and free cash flow attributable to EQT with net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, as derived from the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows to be included in EQT Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Upstream Adjusted Operating Revenues
Upstream adjusted operating revenues (also referred to as total natural gas and liquids sales, including cash settled derivatives and previously referred to as Production adjusted operating revenues) is defined as total Upstream operating revenues, less the revenue impact of changes in the fair value of Upstream derivative instruments prior to settlement and Upstream other revenues. The Company's management believes that this measure provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations because it helps facilitate comparisons of operating performance and earnings trends across periods. Upstream adjusted operating revenues reflects only the impact of settled Upstream derivative contracts; thus, the measure excludes the often-volatile revenue impact of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement. The measure also excludes Upstream other revenues because it is unrelated to the revenue from the Company's natural gas and liquids production.

The table below reconciles Upstream adjusted operating revenues with total Upstream operating revenues, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, as reported in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations to be included in EQT Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Net Debt
Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Total debt includes the Company's current portion of debt, revolving credit facility borrowings and senior notes. The Company's management believes that net debt provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and assists them in evaluating the Company's leverage since the Company could choose to use its cash and cash equivalents to retire debt.

The table below reconciles net debt with total debt, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, as derived from the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to be included in EQT Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.
