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."

(a)References in this release to the "Company" refer to EQT Corporation together with its consolidated subsidiaries. As used throughout this release, per unit operating costs reflect, for each period presented, the consolidated amount of such operating cost for the Company (aggregated irrespective of business segment) divided by total sales volume (Mcfe).
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.

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.
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.

| Adjusted EPS | $ | 0.39 | | | $ | 0.45 | | | $ | 2.72 | | | $ | 1.64 | |
(a)Consists primarily of transaction costs associated with acquisitions and other strategic transactions as well as costs related to exploring new venture opportunities. 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).
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 June 30, 2026.

(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.
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 June 30, 2026.

(a)Adjusted operating cash flow, adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT and free cash flow attributable to EQT for 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)A non-GAAP financial measure. See above for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most comparable financial measure as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
(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.
