Risk Factors. This presentation, including the oral statements made in connection herewith, contains forward-looking statements, estimates and projections within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
Statements that are not historical are forward-looking and may include our operational and strategic plans; estimates of gas reserves and resources; projected timing and rates of return of future investments; and
projections and estimates of future production, revenues, income and capital spending. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
statements, estimates and projections. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of future actual results. The forward-looking statements in this presentation speak only
as of the date of this presentation; we disclaim any obligation to update the statements, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly.
Specific factors that could cause future actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are described in detail under the captions "Forward Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC, as supplemented by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Those risk factors discuss, among other matters, pricing volatility or pricing
decline for natural gas and NGLs; operational risks relating to midstream facilities, pipeline systems, drilling natural gas wells, access to key services and equipment, access to adequate water sources and customer
interactions; the impact of laws and regulations on our business and industry; competitive and economic concerns; risks associated with our debt and hedging strategy; our ability to acquire economically recoverable
natural gas reserves; challenges associated with strategic determinations, including the allocation of capital to strategic opportunities; our development and exploration projects and potential acquisitions or
divestitures, as well as CNXM's midstream system development.
Reserves. Currently, the SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible oil and gas reserves that a company anticipates as of a given date to be
economically and legally producible and deliverable by application of development projects to known accumulations. We may use certain terms in this presentation, such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery),
unproved reserves and total resource potential, that the SEC's rules strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. We caution you that the SEC views such estimates as inherently unreliable and these
estimates may be misleading to investors unless the investor is an expert in the natural gas industry. These measures are by their nature more speculative than estimates of reserves prepared in accordance with SEC
definitions and guidelines and accordingly are less certain. We also note that the SEC strictly prohibits us from aggregating proved, probable and possible reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of
certainty associated with each reserve category.
Title. Except for proved reserve data, the information included in this presentation is based on a summary review of the title to the gas rights we hold. As is customary in the gas industry, prior to the commencement
of natural gas drilling operations on our properties, we conduct a thorough title examination and perform curative work with respect to significant defects. We are typically responsible for curing any title defects at our
expense. As a result of our title review or otherwise, we may be required to acquire property rights from third parties at our expense in order to effectively drill and produce the gas rights we control and third parties
may participate in the wells we drill, thereby reducing our working interest in those wells.
Reconciliation. As it relates to the disclosures within this presentation of projected Adjusted EBITDA, projected EBITDAX, projected cash flow and other projected non-GAAP metrics for fiscal or quarterly periods in
2019 or beyond, for CNX or CNXM, CNX is unable to provide a reconciliation of such metrics to projected operating income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, due to
its inability to calculate projected operating income due to the unknown effect, timing, and potential significance of certain income statement items for each of CNX and CNXM, respectively.
Data. This presentation has been prepared by CNX and includes market data and other statistical information from sources believed by CNX to be reliable, including independent industry publications, government
publications and other published independent sources. Some data are also based on CNX’s good faith estimates, which are derived from its review of internal sources as well as the independent sources described
above. Although CNX believes these sources are reliable, it has not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy or completeness.
Trademarks. CNX owns or has rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that it uses in connection with the operation of its business. This presentation also contains trademarks, service marks
and trade names of third parties, which are the property of their respective owners. CNX’s use or display of third parties’ trademarks, service marks, trade names or products in this presentation is not intended to, and
does not imply, a relationship with CNX or an endorsement or sponsorship by or of CNX. Solely for convenience, the trademarks, service marks and trade names referred to in this presentation may appear without the
®, TM or SM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that CNX will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, its rights or the right of the applicable licensor to these
trademarks, service marks and trade names.
Not an Offer. This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of offers to buy securities of CNX Resources Corporation or CNX Midstream Partners LP.
Executive Summary

Q1 2019 EXPECTATION
STRATEGIC THEME
Operational Execution and
Strong Cost and Margin
Performance(1)
▪ Production cash costs down 8% Y/Y and fully-burdened
margins up 6% Y/Y; LOE and low transportation and
gathering fees create advantage
▪ Bought back additional 3.7 million shares from 1Q19
start through 4/15/19 and reduced leverage to 2.1x
▪ Minimal firm transportation commitments, operational
initiatives, and robust hedge book to drive margins and
risk-adjusted returns through the backwardated price cycle
Adding Incremental Activity Set
to Benefit 2020 Program
▪ Supported by strong rates of return and robust hedge
book, 2019 activity increase driven by improved
confidence in Utica after quality assurance/quality
control initiative and decision to pull forward activity in
face of lower strip beyond 2020
▪ Benefit of additional activity primarily to impact 2020
production and development program
▪ Future development decisions will continue to be evaluated
against all capital allocation options
Updating 2019 Capital Budget
Guidance Based on Incremental
Activity
▪ 2019 minimum D&C capex guidance increasing by
$120 million to $695-$745 million to support incremental
TILs in 2020E
▪ Carryover D&C capex in 2020 to finish 2019 program of
~$165 would be enough to drive significant production
growth by itself in 2020
2019 Setting Up Capital
Allocation Options for 2020
▪ Total company guided capex spend including 2019 non-
D&C (water/land) and CNX Midstream buildout set
stage for 2020 production growth and optionality
▪ As the program stands, CNX would generate substantial
free cash flow in 2020 spending only what is necessary to
finish the 2019 program; de-risked by hedge book
Shaw Event Resolved with
Minimal Impact to Program and
Several Key Lessons Learned
▪ Shaw 1G well remediated following January event
▪ Operational reevaluation led to the identification and
development of a number of best practices
▪ Long-term benefit of broad-based risk mitigation positively
benefiting company’s NAV per share

▪ Marcellus Shale costs were $2.02 per Mcfe in Q1 2019, a decrease of
$0.28 from $2.30 per Mcfe vs. Q1 2018, or a 12% decline
- Driven primarily by decreases in LOE
▪ Utica Shale costs were $1.64 per Mcfe in Q1 2019, an increase of $0.04,
or 3%, from $1.60 per Mcfe in Q1 2018
- Excluding DD&A, Utica production cash costs were $0.47 per Mcfe in
Q1 2019
- The modest increase in Utica costs was driven by lower y/y production
volumes following the divestiture of OH joint venture assets
▪ E&P capital expenditures decreased 16% Q/Q to $223 million in Q1
2019 from $266 million spent in Q4 2018(1) Average sales prices for 1Q2019, 1Q2018, and 4Q2018 include (loss) / gain on commodity derivative instruments

Updated 2019 Guidance
CNX Resources Corporation is unable to provide a reconciliation of projected stand-alone or consolidated adjusted EBITDAX to projected operating income, the most
comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. This is due to our inability to calculate GAAP projected operating income given the unknown effect,
timing, and potential significance of certain income statement items.

CNX Resources Corporation is unable to provide a reconciliation of projected stand-alone or consolidated adjusted EBITDAX to projected operating income, the most
comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. This is due to our inability to calculate GAAP projected operating income given the unknown effect,
timing, and potential significance of certain income statement items.
