FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

• This presentation includes "forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange

Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are statements other than statements of historical fact that give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. They

include production forecasts, estimates of operating costs, assumptions regarding future natural gas and liquids prices, planned drilling activity, anticipated asset sales

and related adjustments, reductions in leverage, estimates of future capital expenditures, estimates of recoverable resources, projected rates of return and expected

efficiency gains, as well as projected cash flow, inventory levels and capital efficiency, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations. Although

we believe the expectations and forecasts reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove to have been correct.

They can be affected by inaccurate or changed assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties.

• Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results include those described under "Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our annual report on

Form 10-K and any updates to those factors set forth in Chesapeake's subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K (available at

http://www.chk.com/investors/sec-filings). These risk factors include: the volatility of oil, natural gas and NGL prices; write-downs of our oil and natural gas carrying

values due to declines in prices; the availability of operating cash flow and other funds to finance reserve replacement costs; our ability to replace reserves and sustain

production; uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of oil, natural gas and NGL reserves and projecting future rates of production and the amount and timing of

development expenditures; our ability to generate profits or achieve targeted results in drilling and well operations; leasehold terms expiring before production can be

established; commodity derivative activities resulting in lower prices realized on oil, natural gas and NGL sales; the need to secure derivative liabilities and the inability

of counterparties to satisfy their obligations; adverse developments or losses from pending or future litigation and regulatory proceedings, including royalty claims; the

limitations our level of indebtedness may have on our financial flexibility; charges incurred in response to market conditions and in connection with actions to reduce

financial leverage and complexity; drilling and operating risks and resulting liabilities; effects of environmental protection laws and regulation on our business;

legislative and regulatory initiatives further regulating hydraulic fracturing; our need to secure adequate supplies of water for our drilling operations and to dispose of or

recycle the water used; federal and state tax proposals affecting our industry; potential OTC derivatives regulation limiting our ability to hedge against commodity price

fluctuations; impacts of potential legislative and regulatory actions addressing climate change; competition in the oil and gas exploration and production industry; a

deterioration in general economic, business or industry conditions; negative public perceptions of our industry; limited control over properties we do not operate;

pipeline and gathering system capacity constraints and transportation interruptions; cyber attacks adversely impacting our operations; and interruption in operations at

our headquarters due to a catastrophic event.

• Disclosures concerning the estimated contribution of derivative contracts to our future results of operations are based upon market information as of a specific date.

These estimates and underlying market prices are subject to significant volatility. Our production forecasts are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates

of production decline rates from existing wells and the outcome of future drilling activity. Expected asset sales may not be completed in the time frame anticipated or at

all. References to “EUR” (estimated ultimate recovery) and “resources” include estimates of quantities of natural gas, oil and NGL we believe will ultimately be

produced, but that are not yet classified as “proved reserves,” as defined in SEC regulations. Estimates of unproved resources are by their nature more speculative

than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of actually being realized by Chesapeake. We believe our estimates of

unproved resources are reasonable, but our estimates have not been reviewed by independent engineers. Estimates of unproved resources may change significantly

as development provides additional data, and actual quantities that are ultimately recovered may differ substantially from prior estimates.

• We caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation, and we undertake no obligation to

update any of the information provided in this presentation, except as required by applicable law.

(1) Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share assuming dilution are not measures of financial performance under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP), and should not be considered as an alternative to net income available to common stockholders or diluted earnings per share. Adjusted net income available to common stockholders and adjusted earnings per share assuming dilution exclude certain items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results. The company believes these adjusted financial measures are a useful adjunct to earnings calculated in accordance with GAAP because:

i. Management uses adjusted net income available to common stockholders to evaluate the company's operational trends and performance relative to other oil and natural gas producing companies.

ii. Adjusted net income available to common stockholders is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts. iii. Items excluded generally are one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, any guidance provided by the

company generally excludes information regarding these types of items. (2) Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding include shares that were considered antidilutive for calculating earnings per share in accordance with GAAP.

RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED EBITDA

(1) Operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before changes in assets and liabilities. Operating cash flow is presented because management believes it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP. Operating cash flow is widely accepted as a financial indicator of an oil and natural gas company's ability to generate cash that is used to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service debt. This measure is widely used by investors and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry. Operating cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity.

(2) Ebitda represents net income before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Ebitda is presented as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of our business. We believe that it provides additional information regarding our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. This measure is widely used by investors and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Ebitda is also a financial measurement that, with certain negotiated adjustments, is reported to our lenders pursuant to our bank credit agreements and is used in the financial covenants in our bank credit agreements. Ebitda is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for net income, income from operations or cash flow provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(3) Adjusted ebitda excludes certain items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are a useful adjunct to ebitda because:

(1) Management uses adjusted ebitda to evaluate the company's operational trends and performance relative to other oil and natural gas producing companies. (2) Adjusted ebitda is more comparable to estimates provided by securities analysts. (3) Items excluded generally are one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, any guidance provided by the company generally excludes information regarding these types of items.

Accordingly, adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute for net income, income from operations or cash flow provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.
