Cautionary Language

2

This presentation contains statements, estimates and projections which are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Statements that are not historical are forward-looking, and include our operational and strategic plans; estimates of coal and gas reserves and resources; the 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, plans, estimates and projections. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of future actual results. Factors that could cause future actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include risks, contingencies and uncertainties that relate to, among other matters, the following: uncertainties as to the timing of the separation and whether it will be completed; the possibility that various closing conditions for the separation may not be satisfied; the impact of the separation on our business; the expected tax treatment of the separation; the risk that the coal and natural gas exploration and production businesses will not be separated successfully or such separation may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, which could result in additional demands on our resources, systems, procedures and controls, disruption of our ongoing business and diversion of management's attention from other business concerns; competitive responses to the separation; we may not receive the prices we expect to receive for our natural gas, natural gas liquids, and coal, including due to oversupply relative to the demand available for our products; we may not obtain on a timely basis the permits required for drilling and mining; we may not accurately estimate the volume of hydrocarbons that are recoverable from our oil and natural gas assets; we may encounter unexpected operational issues or disruptions when we drill and mine, including equipment failures, geological conditions, and higher than expected costs for equipment, supplies, services and labor, including with respect to third-party contractors; we may not achieve the efficiencies we expect to realize in our drilling and completion operations, and as a result, our projected cost savings may not be fully realized; our participation in joint ventures may restrict our operational and corporate flexibility, and actions taken by a joint venture partner may impact our financial position and operational results; we may not be able to sell non-core assets on acceptable terms; acquisitions and divestitures that we anticipate making or have made may not occur or produce anticipated benefits, or may cause disruptions to our business operations; we may be subject to environmental and other government regulations that adversely impact our operating costs and the market for our natural gas and coal; failure by Murray Energy to satisfy liabilities it acquired from us, or failure to perform its obligations under various arrangements, which we guaranteed, could materially or adversely affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows; we may be unable to incur indebtedness on reasonable terms; provisions in our multi-year coal sales contracts may provide limited protection and may result in economic penalties to us or permit the customer to terminate the contract; the majority of our common units in CNX Coal Resources LP are subordinated, and we may not receive related distributions; and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Additional factors are described in detail under the captions "Forward Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in CONSOL Energy Inc.’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as updated by any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Qs. 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.

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.

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.

This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of offers to buy securities of CONSOL Energy Inc. or CNX Coal Resources LP.

(3) Adjusted earnings before income tax for the E&P Division of $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 is calculated as GAAP earnings before income tax of $20.2 million less total pre-tax adjustments of $7.9 million. The $7.9 million of adjustments are $1.5 million of pre-tax gain related to the unrealized gain on commodity derivative instruments, $11.6 million of pre-tax gains on asset sales, a pre-tax charge of $4.8 million related to stock-based compensation and a pre-tax charge of $0.4 million related to severance expense.

(1) Average Sales Prices for 3Q2017, 3Q2016, and 2Q2017 include gains/(loss) on commodity derivative instruments (cash settlements) of $0.20, $0.47, and ($0.39), respectively. (2) Average Costs for 3Q2017, 3Q2016, and 2Q2017 include DD&A of $1.00, $1.05, and $0.98, respectively.

• Adjusted earnings before income tax for the E&P Division of $12.3 million(3)

• Marcellus Shale total average production costs were $2.20 per Mcfe in the third quarter, a decrease of $0.13 from $2.33 per Mcfe in the year-earlier quarter, or a 6% improvement

- Driven by reductions to production, ad valorem, and other fees, and DD&A

• Utica Shale total average production costs were $1.91 per Mcfe in the third quarter, an increase of $0.10 from $1.81 per Mcfe in the year-earlier quarter, or a 6% impairment

- Driven by lower Utica Shale volumes resulting in increases in lease operating expense as well as higher depreciation associated with higher capital costs in the PA deep dry Utica delineation wells

• E&P Division capital expenditures increased in Q3 2017 to $147.5 million, from $142.3 million spent in Q2 2017 due primarily to an increase in capital associated with additional completions activity

SWITZ Wells and Production FY2017

SWITZ Drilling Efficiency

• Monroe County online well counts and production expected to continue meaningful growth through the end of 2017

• SWITZ pads will make up a greater proportion of total production, total operating costs are forecasted to fall due to favorable gathering rates and LOE efficiencies:

- SWITZ wells set to have an outsized impact on EBITDA growth through 2018

- 2H2017 average monthly production rates will increase 800% over 1H2017

- Forecasted December 2017 exit rate of 394 MMcf/d compared to January 2017 exit rate of 20 MMcf/d

• Drilling efficiencies have improved significantly as the field has moved to full development

- Most recent 25 SWITZ wells all executed between 0.80-1.42 days/1000’

- These efficiencies directly correlate to cost savings for each additional well in a field
