Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA (a) | $ | 1,203 | | | $ | 1,158"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
basis hedges financial
"Average Differential ($/Mcf, including basis hedges) | | ($0.75) – ($0.65)"
A basis hedge is a protection strategy that locks in the expected difference between two related prices — typically the local or physical market price and a reference price such as a futures contract or benchmark. Think of it like agreeing on the margin between what you sell in your local store and the price at the central market so you don’t get hurt if that gap widens or shrinks; for investors it reduces unpredictable profit swings from mismatches between the asset being hedged and the instrument used to hedge it.

EQT Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results
PITTSBURGH, July 21, 2026 -- EQT Corporation (NYSE: EQT) today announced financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2026.
Second Quarter 2026 Results:
•Production: Sales volume of 634 Bcfe, above the high-end of guidance due to strong well performance, system pressure optimization and lower-than-expected price related curtailments
•Capital Expenditures: $666 million, 9% below the low-end of guidance, benefiting from operational efficiency gains and lower-than-expected infrastructure spending
•Realized Pricing: Differential of $(0.67), 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 $1.03 per Mcfe, at the low end of guidance driven by lower-than-expected SG&A, transmission and LOE expenses
•Cash Flow: Net cash provided by operating activities of $1,048 million; generated free cash flow attributable to EQT(1) of $330 million
•Balance Sheet: Exited the quarter with $5.7 billion total debt and $5.5 billion net debt,(1) inclusive of $101 million of working capital usage(2) during the quarter; subsequent to the quarter end, repaid $115 million of 2026 debentures
Second Quarter 2026 and Recent Highlights:
•Record-Setting Operations: Drilled the longest lateral in the history of shale development at more than 29,000' while staying 100% in zone; set new basin-wide 24-hour drilling record and new EQT 48-hour drilling record in the process
•Raising Production Guidance: Raising 2026 production guidance by ~90 Bcfe due to better-than-expected benefits from compression investments improving both existing and new wells and shallowing decline rates; full-year capital spending guidance reduced by $25 million
•Premium Power Supply Deal: Signed 10-year definitive agreement with Competitive Power Ventures (CPV) to supply 325,000 Dth/d of natural gas to the CPV Shay Energy Center in Doddridge County, WV; pricing linked to PJM power prices, providing a substantial uplift relative to in-basin pricing
•Accelerating MVP Southgate: Secured all key regulatory approvals; electing to accelerate $85 million of capital contributions to de-risk and complete construction by year-end 2026
•LNG Offtake SPA: Signed 5-year offtake agreement with a large Asian integrated energy company for 0.5 million tonnes per annum of LNG sourced from various Gulf Coast LNG facilities beginning in 2028; deal is expected to increase 2028 free cash flow(1) by ~$45 million at recent strip pricing
•Blackline Midstream Acquisition: Closed on the $77 million acquisition of Blackline Midstream, consisting of two propane storage and distribution terminals in New England; advances vertical integration strategy at an attractive valuation with significant synergy potential and minimal capital requirements
President and CEO Toby Z. Rice stated, "EQT delivered outstanding operational and financial performance in the second quarter, driven by record-setting execution and strong well productivity that resulted in production well above the high end of guidance. Due to the sustained production outperformance resulting from our compression investments, we are raising 2026 production guidance by 90 Bcfe, while lowering our full-year CapEx guidance by $25 million. These results further demonstrate the strength of our low-cost operating model and our ability to consistently create value for shareholders."
Rice continued, "We also announced another long-term gas supply agreement supporting a new 2-gigawatt power generation facility in the heart of West Virginia, further validating our view that the next wave of natural gas demand growth is emerging in our backyard. This agreement provides EQT a substantial premium over in-basin pricing and is another example of how EQT is converting growing regional demand into durable shareholder value. As power generators and data center developers increasingly look to secure reliable, long-term energy supply, EQT has become the partner of choice in Appalachia, leveraging our scale, infrastructure footprint and commercial capabilities to capture an outsized share of this demand growth."

2
Gathering expense per Mcfe increased for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to higher volumes gathered by third parties from wells turned-in-line in the first quarter of 2026.
Transmission expense per Mcfe decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to higher sales volume.
Processing expense per Mcfe decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to decreased production of gas that requires processing and higher sales volume.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to higher long-term incentive compensation costs and higher professional service costs.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $52 million of borrowings outstanding under EQT Corporation's $3.5 billion revolving credit facility. Total liquidity, excluding available capacity under Eureka Midstream, LLC's (Eureka) revolving credit facility, as of June 30, 2026 was approximately $3.6 billion.
As of June 30, 2026, total debt and net debt(1) were $5.7 billion and $5.5 billion, respectively, compared to $7.8 billion and $7.7 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.

Blackline Midstream Acquisition
On July 21, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of all of the operating subsidiaries of Blackline Midstream, LLC (Blackline). Blackline owns and operates two strategically located propane storage and distribution terminals in New England, representing the largest propane facilities in the region with rail, waterborne and retail access. Collectively, the assets provide 46 million gallons of storage capacity, with the Company currently supplying ~60% of Blackline's propane volumes. The assets provide optionality for EQT's propane production, improve flow assurance, enhance the Company's ability to optimize pricing and create additional commercial opportunity through domestic and international supply channels. The $77 million purchase price equates to a ~20% free cash flow yield.(1)
(1)EQT expects the Blackline assets to generate average annual free cash flow over the next five years of approximately $15 million. The free cash flow yield referred to in this news release is derived by dividing the Blackline assets' projected 2027 – 2031 average annual free cash flow by the purchase price (assuming no adjustments thereto). Free cash flow and free cash flow yield are non-GAAP financial measures. See the Non-GAAP Disclosures section of this news release for important information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures.
Third Quarter 2026 Outlook
The Company is raising its full-year 2026 total sales volume guidance to 2,375 – 2,450 Bcfe, reflecting strong performance to date. The Company expects total sales volume of 570 – 620 Bcfe in the third quarter of 2026. The Company now expects its full-year 2026 maintenance capital expenditures to total $2,040 – $2,190 million, inclusive of $510 – $580 million in the third quarter of 2026. The Company expects growth capital expenditures of $200 – $240 million in the third quarter of 2026. The Company plans to turn-in-line (TIL) 34 – 50 net wells in the third quarter of 2026.

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 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.
5
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 June 30, 2026.

In addition, other expenses for both the three and six months ended June 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 23.6% and 22.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 23.6% and 25.9% for the six months ended June 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, 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).

(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, Free Cash Flow Attributable to EQT and Free Cash Flow Yield
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. Free cash flow yield is defined as free cash flow divided by market capitalization.
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.

(c)Adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT and free cash flow attributable to EQT are 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 these measures best reflect the economic impact of the Company's investment in the Midstream JV on adjusted operating cash flow, free cash flow and earnings trends.
In this news release, the Company has disclosed certain projections of free cash flow, including the average annual free cash flow expected to be generated by the Blackline assets during 2027 – 2031. The Company has not provided projected net cash provided by operating activities or reconciliations of projected free cash flow to projected net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company is unable to project net cash provided by operating activities for any future period because this metric includes the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities related to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that may not relate to the period in which the operating activities occurred. The Company is unable to project these timing differences with any reasonable degree of accuracy without unreasonable efforts such as predicting the timing of its payments and its customers' payments, with accuracy to a specific day, months in advance. Furthermore, the Company does not provide guidance with respect to its average realized price, among other items, that impact reconciling items between net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow. Natural gas prices are volatile and out of the Company's control, and the timing of transactions and the income tax effects of future transactions and other items are difficult to accurately predict. Therefore, the Company is unable to provide projected net cash provided by operating activities, or the related reconciliations of projected free cash flow to projected net cash provided by operating activities, without unreasonable effort.
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 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 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 June 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.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this news release or made during the above referenced conference call specifically include the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and growth and anticipated financial and operational performance of EQT Corporation (EQT) and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), including guidance regarding the Company's strategy to develop its reserves; drilling plans and programs (including the number and type of drilling rigs and the number of frac crews to be utilized by the Company, the projected amount of wells to be turned-in-line and the timing thereof); projected natural gas prices, basis and average differential; the impact of commodity prices on the Company's business; total resource potential; projected production and sales volumes, including projected strategic curtailments and the timing, duration and volume thereof; projected capital expenditures and per unit operating costs; the amount and timing of distributions to and from the Company's joint venture arrangements; the projected timing of development of MVP Southgate; the Company's ability to successfully implement and execute its operational and organizational initiatives, the timing thereof and the Company's ability to achieve the anticipated results of such initiatives; the Company's plans, objectives, expectations, goals and projections relating to the Company's LNG offtake and tolling agreements and growth projects, including statements relating to the anticipated in-service dates, volume, duration, cost, anticipated impacts to free cash flow and investment returns thereof; the Company's ability to achieve the intended operational, financial and strategic benefits from any proposed and recently completed strategic transactions, and the timing thereof, including the Company's acquisition of all of the operating subsidiaries of Blackline Midstream, LLC and related financial projections associated with such acquisition; the amount and timing of any redemptions, repayments or repurchases of EQT's common stock, the Company's outstanding debt securities or other debt instruments; the Company's ability to reduce its debt and the timing of such reductions, if any; projected free cash flow; liquidity and financing requirements, including funding sources and availability; the Company's hedging strategy and projected margin posting obligations; the Company’s tax position and projected effective tax rate; and the expected impact of changes in laws.
The forward-looking statements included in this news release or made during the above referenced conference call involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events, taking into account all information currently known by the Company. While the Company considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond the Company’s control. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, volatility of commodity prices; the costs and results of drilling and operations; uncertainties about estimates of reserves, identification of drilling locations and the ability to add proved reserves in the future; the assumptions underlying production forecasts; the quality of technical data; the Company's ability to appropriately allocate capital and other resources among its strategic opportunities; access to and cost of capital; the Company's hedging and other financial contracts; inherent hazards and risks normally incidental to drilling for, producing, transporting, storing and processing natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and oil; operational risks and hazards incidental to the gathering, transmission and storage of natural gas as well as unforeseen interruptions; cyber security risks and acts of sabotage; availability and cost of drilling rigs, completion services, equipment, supplies, personnel, oilfield services and pipe, sand and water required to execute the Company's exploration and development plans, including as a result of inflationary pressures or tariffs; risks associated with operating primarily in the Appalachian Basin; the ability to obtain environmental and other permits and the timing thereof; construction, business, economic, competitive, regulatory, judicial, environmental, political and legal uncertainties related to the development and construction by the Company or its joint ventures of pipeline and storage facilities and transmission assets and the optimization of such assets; the Company's ability to renew or replace expiring gathering, transmission or storage contracts at favorable rates, on a long-term basis or at all; risks relating to the Company's joint venture arrangements; government regulation or action, including regulations pertaining to methane and other greenhouse gas emissions; negative public perception of the fossil fuels industry; increased consumer demand for alternatives to natural gas; environmental and weather risks, including the possible impacts of climate change; and disruptions to the Company's business due to recently completed or pending divestitures, acquisitions and other significant strategic transactions. These and other risks and uncertainties are described under the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in EQT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other documents EQT subsequently files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the Company may be subject to currently unforeseen risks that may have a materially adverse impact on it.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by law, EQT does not intend to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
