1.    Financial Statements
 
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals, unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of EQT Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the results of its operations and equity for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 20212022 and 20202021 and its cash flows for the six month periods ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to "EQT," "EQT Corporation" and "the Company" refer collectively to EQT Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived fromThese financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2019,August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU simplifies accounting for income taxes by eliminating certain exceptions to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes, related to the general approach for intraperiod tax allocation, methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and recognition of deferred taxes when there are investment ownership changes. In addition, this ASU simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes and interim period effects of enacted changes in tax laws or rates and provides clarification on accounting for transactions that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill and allocation of consolidated income tax expense to separate financial statements of entities not subject to income tax. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2021 with no material changes to its financial statements or disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity. This ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing certain separation models for convertible instruments. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not accounted for as derivatives under ASCAccounting Standards Codification 815 or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the convertible instrument's embedded conversion features are no longer separated from the host contract. Consequently, and as long as no other feature requires bifurcation and recognition as a derivative, the convertible instrument is accounted for as a single liability measured at its amortized cost. ThisUnder ASU also amends2020-06, entities are required to use the if-converted method to calculate the impact of convertible instruments on the calculation of diluted earnings per share (EPS) and. The if-converted method assumes share settlement of the instrument, which increases the number of potentially dilutive securities used to calculate diluted EPS. This ASU also adds several new disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

The Company plans to adoptadopted this ASU oneffective as of January 1, 2022 using the full retrospective method of adoption. The Company is evaluatingfollowing tables present the impact this standard will haveof the adoption of ASU 2020-06 on its financial statements and disclosures.the Company's previously reported historical results.

2.    Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Under the Company's natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and oil sales contracts, the Company generally considers the delivery of each unit (MMBtu or Bbl) to be a separate performance obligation that is satisfied upon delivery. These contracts typically require payment within 25 days of the end of the calendar month in which the commodity is delivered. A significant number of these contracts contain variable consideration because the payment terms refer to market prices at future delivery dates. In these situations, the Company has not identified a standalone selling price because the terms of the variable payments relate specifically to the Company's efforts to satisfy the performance obligations. Other contracts, such as fixed price contracts or contracts with a fixed differential to New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) or index prices, contain fixed consideration. The fixed consideration is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis, which requires judgment from management. For these contracts, the Company generally concludes that the fixed price or fixed differentials in the contracts are representative of the standalone selling price.

Based on management's judgment, the performance obligations for the sale of natural gas, NGLs and oil are satisfied at a point in time because the customer obtains control and legal title of the asset when the natural gas, NGLs or oil is delivered to the designated sales point.

The sales of natural gas, NGLs and oil presented in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations represent the Company's share of revenues net of royalties and exclude revenue interests owned by others. When selling natural gas, NGLs and oil on behalf of royalty or working interest owners, the Company acts as an agent and, thus, reports the revenue on a net basis.

For contracts with customers where the Company's performance obligations had been satisfied and an unconditional right to consideration existed as of the balance sheet date, the Company recorded amounts due from contracts with customers of $471.5$1,558.1 million and $394.1$1,093.9 million in accounts receivable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

3.    Derivative Instruments
 
The Company's primary market risk exposure is the volatility of future prices for natural gas and NGLs, which can affect the Company's operating results. The Company uses derivative commodity instruments to hedge its cash flows from sales of produced natural gas and NGLs. The overall objective of the Company's hedging program is to protect cash flows from undue exposure to the risk of changing commodity prices.

The derivative commodity instruments used by the Company are primarily swap, collar and option agreements. These agreements may require payments to, or receipt of payments from, counterparties based on the differential between two prices for the commodity. The Company uses these agreements to hedge its NYMEX and basis exposure. The Company may also use other contractual agreements when executing its commodity hedging strategy. The Company typically enters into over the counter (OTC) derivative commodity instruments with financial institutions, and the creditworthiness of all counterparties is regularly monitored.

The Company does not designate any of its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges; therefore, all changes in fair value of the Company's derivative instruments are recognized in operating revenues in loss on derivatives in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations. Because the Company does not designate any of its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges, the Company has changed the references to "derivatives not designated as hedges" to "derivatives" throughout the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on a gross basis. These derivative instruments are reported as either current assets or current liabilities due to their highly liquid nature. The Company can net settle its derivative instruments at any time.

EQT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Contracts that result in physical delivery of a commodity expected to be sold by the Company in the normal course of business are generally designated as normal sales and are exempt from derivative accounting. Contracts that result in the physical receipt or delivery of a commodity but are not designated or do not meet all of the criteria to qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale scope exception are subject to derivative accounting.

The Company's OTC derivative instruments generally require settlement in cash. The Company also enters into exchange traded derivative commodity instruments that are generally settled with offsetting positions. Settlements of derivative commodity instruments are reported as a component of cash flows from operating activities in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows.

With respect to the derivative commodity instruments held by the Company, the Company hedged portions of its expected sales of production and portions of its basis exposure covering approximately 2,773 Bcf2,227 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas and 7,687 Mbbl1,830 thousand barrels (Mbbl) of NGLs as of June 30, 20212022 and 1,9552,184 Bcf of natural gas and 3,4623,055 Mbbl of NGLs as of December 31, 2020.2021. The open positions at both June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 had maturities extending through December 2027 and December 2024, respectively.2027.

Certain of the Company's OTC derivative instrument contracts provide that, if the Company's credit rating assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's) or, S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Fitch Ratings Service (Fitch) is below the agreed-upon credit rating threshold (typically, below investment grade), and if the associated derivative liability exceeds the agreed-upon dollar threshold for such credit rating, the counterparty to such contract can require the Company to deposit collateral. Similarly, if such counterparty's credit rating assigned by Moody's, S&P or S&PFitch is below the agreed-upon credit rating threshold and if the associated derivative liability exceeds the agreed-upon dollar threshold for such credit rating, the Company can require the counterparty to deposit collateral with the Company. Such collateral can be up to 100% of the derivative liability. Investment grade refers to the quality of a company's credit as assessed by one or more credit rating agencies. To be considered investment grade, a company must be rated "Baa3" or higher by Moody's, "BBB–" or higher by S&P and "BBB–" or higher by Fitch Ratings Service (Fitch).Fitch. Anything below these ratings is considered non-investment grade. As of June 30, 2021,2022, the Company's senior notes were rated "Ba2""Ba1" by Moody's, and "BB""BBB–" by S&P.&P and "BBB–" by Fitch.

When the net fair value of any of the Company's OTC derivative instrument contracts represents a liability to the Company that is in excess of the agreed-upon dollar threshold for the Company's then-applicable credit rating, the counterparty has the right to require the Company to remit funds as a margin deposit in an amount equal to the portion of the derivative liability that is in excess of the dollar threshold amount. The Company records these deposits as a current asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the aggregate fair value of all OTC derivative instruments with credit rating risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position was $1,166.3$465.0 million and $137.7$594.9 million, respectively, for which the Company deposited and recorded current assets of $284.4$238.0 million and $21.1$0.1 million, respectively.

When the net fair value of any of the Company's OTC derivative instrument contracts represents an asset to the Company that is in excess of the agreed-upon dollar threshold for the counterparty's then-applicable credit rating, the Company has the right to require the counterparty to remit funds as a margin deposit in an amount equal to the portion of the derivative asset that is in excess of the dollar threshold amount. The Company records these deposits as a current liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of both June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, there were 0no such deposits recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

When the Company enters into exchange traded natural gas contracts, exchanges may require the Company to remit funds to the corresponding broker as good-faith deposits to guard against the risks associated with changing market conditions. The Company is required to make such deposits based on an established initial margin requirement and the net liability position, if any, of the fair value of the associated contracts. The Company records these deposits as a current asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the fair value of such contracts is in a net asset position, the broker may remit funds to the Company. The Company records these deposits as a current liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The initial margin requirements are established by the exchanges based on the price, volatility and the time to expiration of the contract. The margin requirements are subject to change at the exchanges' discretion. As of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company recorded $205.7$109.4 million and $61.5$147.7 million, respectively, of such deposits as current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Consolidated GGA (defined in Note 8) executed in connection with the Equitrans Share Exchange (defined in Note 8) provides for additional cash bonus payments (the Henry Hub Cash Bonus) payable by the Company during the period beginning on the first day of the quarter in which the Mountain Valley Pipeline is placed in service and ending on the earlier of 36 months thereafter or December 31, 2024. Such payments are conditioned upon the quarterly average of the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas settlement price exceeding certain price thresholds. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the derivative liability related to the Henry Hub Cash Bonus had a fair value of approximately $53 million and $111 million, respectively. The fair value of the derivative liability related to the Henry Hub Cash Bonus is based on significant inputs that are interpolated from observable market data and, as such, is a Level 2 fair value measurement. See Note 4 for a description of the fair value hierarchy.

During the second quarter of 2020, the Company closed a transaction to sell certain non-strategic assets located in Pennsylvania and West Virginia (the 2020 Divestiture), the purchase and sale agreement for which, among other things, provides for additional cash bonus payments (the Contingent Consideration) payable to the Company of up to $20 million, conditioned upon the three-month average of the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas settlement price relative to stated floor and target price thresholds beginning on August 31, 2020 and ending on November 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the derivative asset related to the Contingent Consideration had a fair value of approximately $3.9 million and $8.2 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company received cash from the Contingent Consideration of $4.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Changes in fair value are recorded in gain on sale/exchange of long-lived assets in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations. The fair value of the derivative asset related to the Contingent Consideration is based on significant inputs that are interpolated from observable market data and, as such, is a Level 2 fair value measurement. See Note 4 for a description of the fair value hierarchy.

4.    Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company records its financial instruments, which are principally derivative instruments, at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is based on models that use market-based parameters, including forward curves, discount rates, volatilities and nonperformance risk, as inputs. Nonperformance risk considers the effect of the Company's credit standing on the fair value of liabilities and the effect of the counterparty's credit standing on the fair value of assets. The Company estimates nonperformance risk by analyzing publicly available market information, including a comparison of the yield on debt instruments with credit ratings similar to the Company's or counterparty's credit rating and the yield on a risk-free instrument.

The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities recorded at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Assets and liabilities that use Level 2 inputs primarily include the Company's swap, collar and option agreements.

Exchange traded commodity swaps have Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the commodity swaps with Level 2 inputs is based on standard industry income approach models that use significant observable inputs, including, but not limited to, NYMEX natural gas forward curves, LIBOR-based discount rates, basis forward curves and natural gas liquidsNGLs forward curves. The Company's collars and options are valued using standard industry income approach option models. The significant observable inputs used by the option pricing models include NYMEX forward curves, natural gas volatilities and LIBOR-based discount rates.

The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The December 31, 2021 carrying value of the Company's investment in Equitrans Midstream Corporation (Equitrans Midstream) approximates fair value as Equitrans Midstream is a publicly traded company. In April 2022, the Company sold the remaining balance of its Equitrans Midstream common stock for net proceeds of approximately $189 million. The carrying value of borrowings under the Company's credit facility approximates fair value as the interest rate is based on prevailing market rates. The Company considered all of these fair values to be Level 1 fair value measurements.

The Company has an investment in a fund (the Investment Fund) that invests in companies developing technology and operating solutions for exploration and production companies. The investment is valued using, as a practical expedient, the net asset value provided in the financial statements received from fund managers.

The Company estimates the fair value of its senior notes using established fair value methodology. Because not all of the Company's senior notes are actively traded, their fair value is a Level 2 fair value measurement. As of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company's senior notes had a fair value of approximately $6.5$5.4 billion and $5.2$6.5 billion, respectively, and a carrying value of approximately $5.4$4.8 billion and $4.5$5.5 billion, respectively, inclusive of any current portion. The fair value of the Company's note payable to EQM Midstream Partners, LP (EQM) is estimated using an income approach model with a market-based discount rate and is a Level 3 fair value measurement. As of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company's note payable to EQM had a fair value of approximately $123$102 million and $130$118 million, respectively, and a carrying value of approximately $102$97 million and $105$100 million, respectively, inclusive of any current portion. See Note 6 for further discussion of the Company's debt.

5.    Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the Company calculated the provision for income taxes for interim periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to "ordinary" income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring items) for the period. There were no material changes to the Company's methodology for determining unrecognized tax benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2021.2022.

The Company recorded income tax benefit at an effective tax rate of 27.0%20.2% and 14.0%27.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was lower compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to nondeductible repurchase premiums on the Convertible Notes, partly offset by state taxes, including valuation allowances limiting certain state tax benefits. The Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was higher compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate due primarily to state taxes, including valuation allowances limiting certain state tax benefits and West Virginia tax legislation enacted on April 13, 2021 that changed the way taxable income is apportioned to West Virginia for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

On July 8, 2022, the Pennsylvania General Assembly enacted House Bill 1342, which reduces the corporate net income tax rate from 9.99% to 8.99% in 2023 and continues to reduce that rate by 0.5% per year beginning in 2024 and ending at 4.99% in 2031 and thereafter. The Company is evaluating the impact this change in law will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

during the 5-business-day period after any 5-consecutive-trading-day period (the measurement period) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period is less than 98% of the product of the last reported price of EQT common stock and the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes on each such trading day;
if the Company calls any or all of the Convertible Notes for redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding such redemption date; and
upon the occurrence of certain corporate events set forth in the Convertible Notes indenture.

On or after February 1, 2026, holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time until the close of business on the second scheduled trading date immediately preceding May 1, 2026.

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes indenture, the Sale Price Condition for conversion of the Convertible Notes was satisfied as of June 30, 2021, and, accordingly, holders of Convertible Notes may convert any of their Convertible Notes, at their option, at any time during the quarter beginning on July 1, 2021 and ending on September 30, 2021, subject to all terms and conditions set forth in the Convertible Notes indenture.

The Company intends to use a combined settlement approach to satisfy its obligation by paying or delivering to holders of the Convertible Notes cash equal to the principal amount of the obligation and EQT common stock for amounts that exceed the principal amount of the obligation.

In connection with the Convertible Notes offering, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the Capped Call Transactions), the purpose of which is to reduce the potential dilution to EQT common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company is required to make in excess of the principal amount of such obligation, with such reduction and offset subject to a cap. The Capped Call Transactions have an initial strike price of $15.00 per share of EQT common stock and an initial capped price of $18.75 per share of EQT common stock, each of which are subject to certain customary adjustments.

For accounting purposes,adjustments, including adjustments as a result of the Company separated the Convertible Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of similar debt instruments that do not have associated convertible features. The carrying amount of the equity component, representing the conversion option, was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the principal value of the Convertible Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the condition for equity classification. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component overpaying a dividend on its carrying amount (the debt discount) will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes, which is approximately 6 years, at an effective interest rate of 8.4%. At inception, the Company

recorded the Convertible Notes at fair value of approximately $358.1 million, a net deferred tax liability of $41.0 million and an equity component of $100.9 million.

Issuance costs were allocated to the liability and equity components of the Convertible Notes based on their relative fair values. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component of $12.1 million were recorded as a reduction to the liability component of the Convertible Notes and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Convertible Notes at an effective interest rate of 8.4%. Issuance costs attributable to the equity component of $4.8 million, representing the conversion option, were netted with the equity component.common stock.

The Capped Call Transactions are separate from the Convertible Notes. The Capped Call Transactions were recorded in shareholders' equity and were not accounted for as derivatives. The cost to purchase the Capped Call Transactions wereof $32.5 million was recorded as a reduction to equity and will not be remeasured.

For the second quarter of 2020, the Convertible Notes had a net shareholders' equity impact of $63.6 million, which consisted of the conversion option equity component of $100.9 million less the Capped Call Transactions costs of $32.5 million and issuance costs attributable to the equity component of $4.8 million.

7.    Earnings Per Share

In periods when the Company reports a net loss, all options, restricted stock, performance awards and stock appreciation rights are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding because of their anti-dilutive effect on loss per share. As a result, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, all such securities were excluded from potentially dilutive securities because of their anti-dilutive effect on EPS.loss per share. Such securities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were 6,855,482, and such securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were 7,679,584 and 7,712,354, respectively,respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, such potentially dilutive securities included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share were 4,132,337.

Additionally, the Company uses the if-converted method to calculate the impact of the Convertible Notes on diluted earnings (loss) per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 and such securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 20202021, all such if-converted securities were 6,769,822 and 6,739,305, respectively.

As discussed in Note 6, the Company issued the Convertible Notes during the second quarter of 2020 and, upon conversion of the Convertible Notes, intends to use a combined settlement approach to satisfy its obligation under the Convertible Notes. As such, there is no adjustment to the diluted EPS numerator for the cash-settled portion of the instrument. In addition, for the three and six

Such securities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were approximately 33.4 million, and such securities for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were approximately 33.3 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, such potentially dilutive securities included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share were 33.3 million. See Notes 1 and 6 for further discussion of the Convertible Notes.

8.    Equitrans Share ExchangeImpairment of Contract Asset

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company sold to Equitrans Midstream a totalapproximately 50% of 25,299,752 shares ofthe Company's then-owned equity interest in Equitrans Midstream's common stockMidstream in exchange for approximately $52 million ina combination of cash and rate relief under certain of the Company's gathering contracts with EQM, an affiliate of Equitrans Midstream (the Equitrans Share Exchange). The rate relief was effected through the execution of a consolidated gas gathering and compression agreement entered into between the Company and an affiliate of EQMEquitrans Midstream (the Consolidated GGA). TheIn addition, because the Mountain Valley Pipeline was not in service by January 1, 2022, the Consolidated GGA provides the Company with the option to forgo a portion of the gathering fee relief that would otherwise be applicable following the Mountain Valley Pipeline in-service date in exchange for a cash payment to the Company of approximately $196 million (the Cash Payment Option). On July 8, 2022, the Company delivered notice to Equitrans Midstream that it had elected to exercise the Cash Payment Option.

On the closing date of the Equitrans Share Exchange, the Company recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet a contract asset of $410 million representing the estimated fair value of the rate relief and, beginning oninclusive of the Cash Payment Option. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company identified indicators that the carrying value of the contract asset may not be fully recoverable, including increased uncertainty of the estimated timing of completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) in-service date, expectsdue to recognize amortizationrecent court rulings. As a result of the Company's impairment evaluation, the Company recognized impairment of $184.9 million in the Statement of Condensed Consolidated Operations. The impairment reduced the carrying value of the contract asset over a periodto its estimated fair value as of approximately four years in a manner consistent with the expected timingMarch 31, 2022 of the Company's realization$225 million, of the economic benefits of the rate relief.

The Consolidated GGA provides for additional cash bonus payments (the Henry Hub Cash Bonus) payable by the Company to EQM during the period beginning on the first day of the quarter in which the MVP is placed in service and ending on the earlier of 36 months thereafter or December 31, 2024. Such payments are conditioned upon the quarterly average of the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas settlement price exceeding certain price thresholds. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the derivative liability related$196 million was attributable to the Henry Hub Cash Bonus was approximately $97 million and $107 million, respectively. In addition,Payment Option provided by the Consolidated GGA provides a cash payment option that grants the Company the right to receive payments from EQMand presented in prepaid expenses and other in the event thatCondensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and $29 million was attributable to the MVPresidual rate relief realizable upon the in-service date has not occurred prior to January 1, 2022.

of the Mountain Valley Pipeline and presented in contract asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the contract asset was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and, as such, is a Level 3 fair value measurement. Key assumptions used in the fair value calculation included an estimated production volume forecast, a market-based discount rate and a probability-weighted estimate of the in-service date of the MVP. The fair value of the derivative liability related to the Henry Hub Cash Bonus was based on significant inputs that were interpolated from observable market data and, as such, is a Level 2 fair value measurement. See Note 4 for a description of the fair value hierarchy.

9.    Asset Exchange Transactions and Divestiture

2020 Asset Exchange Transactions. During the first and second quarters of 2020, the Company closed on various acreage trade agreements (collectively, the 2020 Asset Exchange Transactions), pursuant to which the Company exchanged approximately 11,700 aggregate net revenue interest acres across Greene, Allegheny and Westmoreland Counties, Pennsylvania and Wetzel and Marshall Counties, West Virginia for approximately 11,700 aggregate net revenue interest acres across Greene and Washington Counties, Pennsylvania and Wetzel County, West Virginia. As a result of the 2020 Asset Exchange Transactions, the Company recognized a loss of $6.7 million and $55.6 million in (gain) loss on sale/exchange of long-lived assets in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The fair value of leases acquired were based on inputs that are not observable in the market and, as such, is a Level 3 fair value measurement. See Note 4 for a description of the fair value hierarchy. Key assumptions used in the fair value calculation included the following: (i) a probability-weighted estimate of the in-service date of the Mountain Valley Pipeline; (ii) an estimate of the potential exercise and timing of the Cash Payment Option; (iii) an estimated production volume forecast and (iv) a market-based prices for comparable acreage.weighted average cost of capital.

2020 Divestiture. On May 11, 2020, the Company closed a transaction to sell certain non-strategic assets located in Pennsylvania and West Virginia (the 2020 Divestiture) for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $125 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments and the Contingent Consideration defined and discussed below. The Pennsylvania assets sold included 80 Marcellus wells and approximately 33 miles of gathering lines; the West Virginia assets sold included 809 conventional wells and approximately 154 miles of gathering lines. In addition, the 2020 Divestiture relieved the Company of approximately $49 million in asset retirement obligations and other liabilities associated with the sold assets. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay down the Company's term loan facility.
20

The purchase and sale agreement for the 2020 Divestiture provides for additional cash bonus payments (the Contingent Consideration) payable to the Company of up to $20 million. Such Contingent Consideration is conditioned upon the three-month average of the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas settlement price relative to stated floor and target price thresholds beginning on August 31, 2020 and ending on November 30, 2022. The Contingent Consideration represents an embedded derivative that is recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Contingent Consideration had a fair value of $17.5 million and $1.9 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Changes in fair value are recorded in (gain) loss on sale/exchange of long-lived assets in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations. The fair value of the

As a result of the 2020 Divestiture, the Company recognized a loss of $42.5 million in (gain) loss on sale/exchange of long-lived assets in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations during the second quarter of 2020.

10.    Acquisitions

Reliance Asset Acquisition. On April 1, 2021, the Company closed on the acquisition of certain oil and gas assets (the Reliance Asset Acquisition) from Reliance Marcellus, LLC (Reliance), pursuant to the Company's exercise of a preferential purchase right that was triggered by Northern Oil and Gas, Inc.'s acquisition of Reliance's Marcellus assets. The total purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $69 million, and the assets acquired consisted of approximately 40 MMcfe per day of current production and 4,100 net acres located in southwest Pennsylvania. The Reliance Asset Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition and not a business combination and, as such, its proceeds were allocated to property, plant and equipment.

The Alta Target Entities collectively holdheld all of Alta Resources' upstream and midstream assets and liabilities. The purchase price for the Alta Acquisition consisted of approximately $1.0 billion in cash and 98,789,388 shares of the Company'sEQT common stock, as adjusted pursuant to customary closing purchase price adjustments set forth in the Alta Purchase Agreement. The Alta Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, indemnification and termination provisions and has an effective date of January 1, 2021.

As a result of the Alta Acquisition, the Company acquired approximately 300,000 net Northeast Marcellus acres, approximately 1.0 Bcfe per day of current net production, approximately 300 miles of midstream gathering systems, approximately 100 miles of a freshwater system and a firm transportation portfolio to premium demand markets. In May 2021, upon execution

The Company completed the purchase price allocation for the Alta Acquisition during the second quarter of 2022, at which time the value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were revised. The purchase accounting adjustments recorded in 2022 were not material.

Average Realized Price Reconciliation
 
The following table presents detailed natural gas and liquids operational information to assist in the understanding of our consolidated operations, including the calculation of our average realized price ($/Mcfe), which is based on adjusted operating revenues, a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure. Adjusted operating revenues is presented because it is an important measure we use to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of earnings trends. Adjusted operating revenues should not be considered as an alternative to total operating revenues. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation" for a reconciliation of adjusted operating revenues with total operating revenues, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

The table below reconciles adjusted operating revenues, a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure, with total operating revenues, its most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted operating revenues (also referred to in this report as total natural gas and liquids sales, including cash settled derivatives) is presented because it is an important measure we use to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of earnings trends. Adjusted operating revenues excludes the revenue impacts of changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement and net marketing services and other. We use adjusted operating revenues to evaluate earnings trends because, as a result of the measure's exclusion of the often-volatile changes in the fair value of derivative instruments prior to settlement, the measure reflects only the impact of settled derivative contracts. Net marketing services and other primarily includesconsists of the costs of, and recoveries on, pipeline capacity releases.releases, revenues for gathering services provided to third parties and other revenues. Because we consider net marketing services and other to be unrelated to our natural gas and liquids production activities, adjusted operating revenues excludes net marketing services and other. We believe that adjusted operating revenues provides useful information to investors for evaluating period-to-period comparisons of earnings trends.

Sales of natural gas, NGLs and oil. Sales of natural gas, NGLs and oil increased for the three months ended June 30, 20212022 compared to the same period in 20202021 due to increased sales volume and a higher average realized price. price and increased sales volume.

Average realized price for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 increased due to higher NYMEX prices and higher liquids prices, partly offset by lowerunfavorable cash settled derivatives and unfavorable differential. For the three months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020,2021, we paid $71.4$1,753.7 million and received $315.4$71.4 million, respectively, of net cash settlements on derivatives, not designated as hedges, which are included in average realized price but may not be included in operating revenues.

Sales volume increased primarily as a result of prior period sales volume decreases of 36 Bcfe from the 2020 Strategic Production Curtailments (defined below) and sales volume increases of 33 Bcfe from the assets acquired from the Chevron Acquisition (defined below). The 2020 Strategic Production Curtailments refers to our strategic decision to temporarily curtail approximately 1.4 Bcfe per day of gross production, equivalent to approximately 1.0 Bcfe per day of net production, beginning in May 2020 and ending in July 2020, at which time we began a moderated approach to bringing back on-line production that had been curtailed. The Chevron Acquisition refers to our acquisition of upstream assets from Chevron U.S.A. Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2020.Alta Acquisition.

The loss on derivatives not designated as hedges. The 2021 loss wasfor 2022 related primarily to decreases in the fair market value of our NYMEX swaps and options due to increases in NYMEX forward prices.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased on an absolute basis for thethree months ended June 30, 20212022 compared to the same period in 20202021 due primarily to higher long-term incentive compensation costs due toas a result of changes in the fair value of awards. Long-term incentive compensation may fluctuate with changes in our stock price and performance conditions.

Depreciation and depletion. Production depletion expense increased on an absolute basis for the three months ended June 30, 20212022 compared to the same period in 20202021 due to increased sales volume, partly offset by a lower annual depletion rate. Production depletion expense decreased on a per Mcfe basis for the three months ended June 30, 20212022 compared to the same period in 20202021 due to a lower annual depletion rate.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assetsfor the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $7.5 million. Our intangible assets were fully amortized in the fourth quarter of 2020.

(Gain) lossGain on sale/exchange of long-lived assets. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a gain on sale of long-lived assets of $16.8 million related primarily to changes in the fair value of the Contingent Consideration from the 2020 Divestiture (defined and discussed in Note 93 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized a loss on sale/exchange of long-lived assets of $49.2 million, of which $6.7 million related to the 2020 Asset Exchange Transactions and $42.5 million related to the 2020 Divestiture.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Although we cannot provide any assurance, we believe cash flows from operating activities and availability under our credit facility should be sufficient to meet our cash requirements inclusive of, but not limited to, normal operating needs, debt service obligations, planned capital expenditures and commitments for at least the next twelve months and, based on current expectations, for the long term.

Planned Capital Expenditures and Sales Volume. In 2021,2022, we expect to spend approximately $1,100 million$1.4 billion to $1,175 million$1.5 billion in total capital expenditures, excluding amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, which are expectedinterest. We expect to be funded by operatingfund our capital expenditures with cash flowgenerated from operations and, if required, borrowings under our credit facility. Because we are the operator of a high percentage of our developed acreage, the amount and timing of these capital expenditures are largely discretionary. We could choose to defer a portion of these planned 2022 capital expenditures depending on a variety of factors, including prevailing and anticipated prices for natural gas, NGLs and oil; the availability of necessary equipment, infrastructure and capital; the receipt and timing of required regulatory permits and approvals; and drilling, completion and acquisition costs. Sales volume in 20212022 is expected to be 1,8001,950 Bcfe to 1,8752,050 Bcfe. The planned capital expenditures and expected sales volume include amounts attributable to the assets acquired from the Alta Acquisition, which closed on July 21, 2021.
 
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $443$1,252 million for the six months ended June 30, 20212022 compared to $947$443 million for the same period in 2020.2021. The decreaseincrease was due primarily to decreasedhigher cash operating revenues, partly offset by net cash settlements receivedpaid on derivatives, not designatedhigher cash operating expenses and unfavorable changes in working capital due to higher natural gas prices as hedges andwell as unfavorable timing of working capital payments including increased collateral and margin deposits associated with the Company's over the counter derivative instrument contracts and exchange traded natural gas contracts, partly offset by higher cash operating revenues.payments.

Our cash flows from operating activities are affected by movements in the market price for commodities. We are unable to predict such movements outside of the current market view as reflected in forward strip pricing. Refer to Item 1A., "Risk Factors – Natural gas, NGLs and oil price volatility, or a prolonged period of low natural gas, NGLs and oil prices, may have an adverse effect on our revenue, profitability, future rate of growth, liquidity and financial position" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $675$508 million for the six months ended June 30, 20212022 compared to $349$675 million for the same period in 2020.2021. The increasedecrease was due primarily to cash paid for acquisitions in 2021 and cash received in 2020proceeds from the sale of assets and theour remaining investment in Equitrans Share Exchange,Midstream common stock, partly offset by lowerincreased capital expenditures.

On July 20, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per share of EQT common stock, payable on September 1, 2022, to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 9, 2022.

On July 8, 2022, we delivered notice to Equitrans Midstream that we have elected to exercise the Cash Payment Option (defined and discussed in Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).

Depending on our actual and anticipated sources and uses of liquidity, prevailing market conditions and other factors, we may from time to time seek to retireredeem or repurchase our outstanding debt or equity securities through tender offers or other cash purchases in the open market or privately negotiated transactions. The amounts involved in any such transactions may be material.

Security Ratings and Financing Triggers
 
The table below reflects the credit ratings and rating outlooks assigned to our debt instruments as of July 27, 2021.22, 2022. Our credit ratings and rating outlooks are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency, and each rating should be evaluated independent from any other rating. We cannot ensure that a rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn by a rating agency if, in the rating agency's judgment, circumstances so warrant. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussiona description of what is deemed investment grade.

Moody's Investors Service (Moody's)Ba1 StablePositive
Standard & Poor's Ratings Service (S&P)BB+BBB– PositiveStable
Fitch Ratings Service (Fitch)BB+BBB– Stable
 
Changes in credit ratings may affect our access to the capital markets, the cost of short-term debt through interest rates and fees under our lines of credit facility, the interest rate on theour senior notes with adjustable rates, the rates available on new long-term debt, our pool of investors and funding sources, the borrowing costs and margin deposit requirements on our over the counter (OTC) derivative instruments and credit assurance requirements, including collateral, in support of our midstream service contracts, joint venture arrangements or construction contracts. Margin deposits on our OTC derivative instruments are also subject to factors other than credit rating, such as natural gas prices and credit thresholds set forth in the agreements between us and our hedging counterparties.

As of July 27, 2021,22, 2022, we had sufficient unused borrowing capacity, net of letters of credit, under our credit facility to satisfy any requests for margin deposit or other collateral that our counterparties are permitted to request of us pursuant to our OTC derivative instruments, midstream services contracts and other contracts. As of July 27, 2021,22, 2022, such assurances could be up to approximately $1.2$0.9 billion, inclusive of letters of credit, OTC derivative instrument margin deposits and other collateral posted of approximately $1.2$0.5 billion in the aggregate. See Notes 3 and 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Our debt agreements and other financial obligations contain various provisions that, if not complied with, could result in default or event of default under our credit facility, mandatory partial or full repayment of amounts outstanding, reduced loan capacity or other similar actions. The most significant covenants and events of default under the debt agreements relate to maintenance of a debt-to-total capitalization ratio, limitations on transactions with affiliates, insolvency events, nonpayment of scheduled principal or interest payments, acceleration of other financial obligations and change of control provisions. Our credit facility contains financial covenants that require us to have a total debt to total capitalization ratio no greater than 65%. The calculation of this ratio excludes the effects of accumulated other comprehensive income. As of June 30, 2021,2022, we were in compliance with all debt provisions and covenants under our debt agreements.

Commodity Risk Management

The substantial majority of our commodity risk management program is related to hedging sales of our produced natural gas. The overall objective of our hedging program is to protect cash flows from undue exposure to the risk of changing commodity prices. The derivative commodity instruments that we use are primarily swap, collar and option agreements.

Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, various legal and regulatory claims and proceedings are pending or threatened against us. While the amounts claimed may be substantial, we are unable to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of such claims and proceedings. We accrue legal and other direct costs related to loss contingencies when actually incurred. We have established reserves that we believe to be appropriate for pending matters and, after consultation with counsel and giving appropriate consideration to available insurance, we believe that the ultimate outcome of any pending matter currently pending againstinvolving us will not materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. See Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Part I, Item 3., "Legal Proceedings" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 for a discussion of our commitments and contingencies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our critical accounting policies, including a discussion regarding the estimation uncertainty and the impact that our critical accounting estimates have had, or are reasonably likely to have, on our financial condition or results of operations, are described in Item 7., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. The application of our critical accounting policies may require us to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We use historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments. Different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk and Derivative Instruments. Our primary market risk exposure is the volatility of future prices for natural gas and NGLs. Due to the volatility of commodity prices, we are unable to predict future potential movements in the market prices for natural gas and NGLs at our ultimate sales points and, thus, cannot predict the ultimate impact of prices on our operations. Prolonged low, or significant, extended declines in, natural gas and NGLs prices could adversely affect, among other things, our development plans, which would decrease the pace of development and the level of our proved reserves. Increases in natural gas and NGLs prices may be accompanied by, or result in, increased well drilling costs, increased production taxes, increased lease operating expenses,LOE, increased volatility in seasonal gas price spreads for our storage assets and increased end-user conservation or conversion to alternative fuels. In addition, to the extent we have hedged our production at prices below the current market price, we will not benefit fully from an increase in the price of natural gas.gas, and, depending on our then-current credit ratings and the terms of our hedging contracts, we may be required to post additional margin with our hedging counterparties.

The overall objective of our hedging program is to protect cash flows from undue exposure to the risk of changing commodity prices. Our use of derivatives is further described in Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and "Commodity Risk Management" under "Capital Resources and Liquidity" in Item 2., "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." Our OTC derivative commodity instruments are placed primarily with financial institutions and the creditworthiness of those institutions is regularly monitored. We primarily enter into derivative instruments to hedge forecasted sales of production. We also enter into derivative instruments to hedge basis. Our use of derivative instruments is implemented under a set of policies approved by our management-level Hedge and Financial Risk Committee and is reviewed by our Board of Directors.

For derivative commodity instruments used to hedge our forecasted sales of production, which are at, for the most part, NYMEX natural gas prices, we set policy limits relative to the expected production and sales levels that are exposed to price risk. We have an insignificant amount of financial natural gas derivative commodity instruments for trading purposes.

The derivative commodity instruments we use are primarily swap, collar and option agreements. These agreements may require payments to, or receipt of payments from, counterparties based on the differential between two prices for the commodity. We use these agreements to hedge our NYMEX and basis exposure. We may also use other contractual agreements when executing our commodity hedging strategy.

We monitor price and production levels on a continuous basis and make adjustments to quantities hedged as warranted.

A hypothetical decrease of 10% in the market price ofNYMEX natural gas price on June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 would increase the fair value of our natural gas derivative commodity instruments by approximately $728$535 million and $501$577 million, respectively. A hypothetical increase of 10% in the market price ofNYMEX natural gas price on June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 would decrease the fair value of our natural gas derivative commodity instruments by approximately $735$542 million and $495$581 million, respectively. For purposes of this analysis, we applied the 10% change in the market price ofNYMEX natural gas price on June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 to our natural gas derivative commodity instruments as of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 to calculate the hypothetical change in fair value. The change in fair value was determined using a method similar to our normal process for determining derivative commodity instrument fair value described in Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The above analysis of our derivative commodity instruments does not include the offsetting impact that the same hypothetical price movement may have on our physical sales of natural gas. The portfolio of derivative commodity instruments held to hedge our forecasted produced gas approximates a portion of our expected physical sales of natural gas; therefore, an adverse impact to the fair value of the portfolio of derivative commodity instruments held to hedge our forecasted production associated with the hypothetical changes in commodity prices referenced above should be offset by a favorable impact on our physical sales of natural gas, assuming that the derivative commodity instruments are not closed in advance of their expected term and the derivative commodity instruments continue to function effectively as hedges of the underlying risk.

If the underlying physical transactions or positions are liquidated prior to the maturity of the derivative commodity instruments, a loss on the financial instruments may occur or the derivative commodity instruments might be worthless as determined by the prevailing market value on their termination or maturity date, whichever comes first.

Interest Rate Risk. Changes in market interest rates affect the amount of interest we earn on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and the interest rate we pay on borrowings under our credit facility. None of the interest we pay on our senior notes fluctuatefluctuates based on changes to market interest rates. A 1% increase in interest rates on the borrowings under our credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 20212022 would have increased interest expense by approximately $2$6 million.

Interest rates on our 6.125% senior notes due 2025 and 7.00% senior notes due 2030 fluctuate based on changes to the credit ratings assigned to our senior notes by Moody's, S&P and Fitch. Interest rates on our other outstanding senior notes do not fluctuate based on changes to the credit ratings assigned to our senior notes by Moody's, S&P and Fitch. For a discussion of credit rating downgrade risk, see Item 1A., "Risk Factors – Our exploration and production operations have substantial capital requirements, and we may not be able to obtain needed capital or financing on satisfactory terms" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021. Changes in interest rates affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt. See Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our debt and Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of fair value measurements, including the fair value measurement of our debt.

Other Market Risks. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to our derivative contracts. This credit exposure is limited to derivative contracts with a positive fair value, which may change as market prices change. Our OTC derivative instruments are primarily with financial institutions and, thus, are subject to events that would impact those companies individually as well as the financial industry as a whole. We use various processes and analyses to monitor and evaluate our credit risk exposures, including monitoring current market conditions and counterparty credit fundamentals. Credit exposure is controlled through credit approvals and limits based on counterparty credit fundamentals. To manage the level of credit risk, we enter into transactions primarily with financial counterparties that are of investment grade, enter into netting agreements whenever possible and may obtain collateral or other security.

Approximately 22%20%, or $514$1,112 million, of our OTC derivative contracts outstanding at June 30, 20212022 had a positive fair value. Approximately 47%17%, or $456$477 million, of our OTC derivative contracts outstanding at December 31, 20202021 had a positive fair value.

As of June 30, 2021,2022, we were not in default under any derivative contracts and had no knowledge of default by any counterparty to our derivative contracts. During the three months ended June 30, 2021,2022, we made no adjustments to the fair value of our derivative contracts due to credit related concerns outside of the normal non-performance risk adjustment included in our established fair value procedure. We monitor market conditions that may impact the fair value of our derivative contracts.

We are exposed to the risk of nonperformance by credit customers on physical sales of natural gas, NGLs and oil. Revenues and related accounts receivable from our operations are generated primarily from the sale of produced natural gas, NGLs and oil to marketers, utilities and industrial customers located in the Appalachian Basin and in markets that are accessible through our transportation portfolio, which includes markets in the Gulf Coast, Midwest and Northeast United States and Canada. We also contract with certain processors to market a portion of NGLs on our behalf.

No one lender of the large group of financial institutions in the syndicate for our credit facility holds more than 10% of the financial commitments under such facility. The large syndicate group and relatively low percentage of participation by each lender are expected to limit our exposure to disruption or consolidation in the banking industry.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Conversion of Certain Convertible Notes

In June 2022, we received notices from holders of the Convertible Notes requesting the conversion of the aggregate principal of Convertible Notes stated in the table below (the Converted Notes).
