NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form ~~10-Q~~10-Q and Article 108-03 of Regulation ~~S-X.~~S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, ~~2019~~2020 has been derived from the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. This Form ~~10-Q~~10-Q report should be read in conjunction with CONSOL Energy Inc.'s Annual Report on Form ~~10-K~~10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019.~~

2020.

Basis of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CONSOL Energy Inc. and its wholly-owned and majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. The portion of these entities that is not owned by the Company is presented as non-controlling interest. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In ~~March 2020,~~ January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ~~2020-04~~2021-01 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic ~~848)~~848) to clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. Specifically, certain provisions in Topic 848, if elected by an entity, apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. Amendments in this Update to the expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 capture the incremental consequences of the scope clarification and tailor the existing guidance to derivative instruments affected by the discounting transition. CONSOL Energy adopted this guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2021, and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this Update provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates (IBORs), and, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. This Update also provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this Update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. ~~Management has elected to apply this Update subsequent to March 12, 2020. Management is currently evaluating the impact of~~CONSOL Energy adopted this guidance ~~but does not expect this update to have a~~during the three months ended March 31, 2021, and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU ~~2020-01~~2020-01 - Investments - Equity Securities (Topic ~~321)~~321), Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic ~~323)~~323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic ~~815)~~815). The amendments in this Update clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the guidance in Topic 815, which could change how an entity accounts for an equity security under the measurement alternative or a forward contract or purchased option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the fair value option in accordance with Topic 825, Financial Instruments. These amendments improve current GAAP by reducing diversity in practice and increasing comparability of the accounting for these interactions. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. ~~Management does not expect~~CONSOL Energy adopted this ~~update to have a~~guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2021, and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Table of Contents

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU ~~2019-12~~2019-12 - Income Taxes (Topic ~~740)~~740) to reduce the complexity of accounting for income taxes while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The amendments in Update ~~2019-12 will remove~~2019-12 removed the following exceptions: ~~(1)~~(1) the exception to the incremental approach for intra-period tax allocation; ~~(2)~~(2) exceptions to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and ~~(3)~~(3) the exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. The amendments in Update ~~2019-12 will~~2019-12 also ~~simplify~~simplified the accounting for income taxes in the areas of franchise tax, step up in the tax basis of goodwill associated with a business combination, allocation of current and deferred tax expense to a legal entity that is not subject to tax in its separate financial statements, and presentation of the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The Update ~~adds~~added minor codification improvements for income taxes related to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for using the equity method. These changes will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Management does not expect this update to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. The amendments in Update 2018-15 align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements of capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. These changes are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2019, including~~2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. CONSOL Energy adopted this guidance during the three months ended March 31, ~~2020,~~ 2021, and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 - Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP. The amendments modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. These changes will be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 - Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP. The amendments modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements including the consideration of costs and benefits. These changes are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. CONSOL Energy adopted this guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income attributable to CONSOL Energy Inc. shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive earnings per share are computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average number of shares outstanding ~~are~~is increased to include additional shares from restricted stock units and performance share units, if dilutive. The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding restricted stock units and performance share units were released, and that the proceeds from such activities were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period.

The table below sets forth the share-based awards that have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive:

Reclassifications

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company added the CONSOL Marine Terminal to its reportable segments disclosed in Note 16 - Segment Information. As a result, certain reclassifications of 2020 segment information have been made to conform to the 2021 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total assets, net income, stockholders' equity or cash flows from operating activities.

NOTE 2—2—MAJOR TRANSACTIONS:

Merger with CONSOL Coal Resources LP

On October 22, 2020, CONSOL Energy, the Partnership, the General Partner, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CONSOL Energy, and Merger Sub entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving as an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of CONSOL Energy (the “Merger”). On December 30, 2020, the Merger was completed and CONSOL Energy issued 7,967,690 shares of common stock to acquire the 10,912,138 common units of CCR not owned by CONSOL Energy prior to the Merger at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.73 shares of CONSOL Energy common stock for each CCR unit, for total implied consideration of $51,710. As a result of the Merger, CCR's common units are no longer publicly traded.

Except for the Partnership's incentive distribution rights, which were automatically canceled immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger for no consideration in accordance with CCR's partnership agreement, the interests in CCR owned by CONSOL Energy and its subsidiaries remain outstanding as limited partner interests in the surviving entity. The General Partner will continue to own the non-economic general partner interest in the surviving entity.

Since CONSOL Energy controlled CCR prior to the Merger and continues to control CCR after the Merger, CONSOL Energy accounted for the change in its ownership interest in CCR as an equity transaction, which was reflected as a reduction of noncontrolling interest with corresponding increases to common stock and capital in excess of par value. No gain or loss was recognized in CONSOL Energy's Consolidated Statements of Income as a result of the Merger. The tax effects of the Merger were reported as adjustments to deferred income taxes and capital in excess of par value.

Prior to the effective date of the Merger, public unitholders held a 39.3% equity interest in CCR's outstanding common units and CONSOL Energy owned the remaining 60.7% equity interest. The earnings of CCR that were attributed to its common units held by the public prior to the Merger are reflected in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company incurred $9,822 of transaction costs directly attributable to the Merger during the year ended December 31, 2020, including financial advisory, legal service and other professional fees, which were recorded to Selling, General and Administrative Costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Settlement Transaction with Murray Energy

On September 16, 2020, CONSOL entered into a settlement transaction with (i) Murray Energy Holdings Co., Murray Energy Corporation, and their direct and indirect subsidiaries (such entities that are debtors in possession in Murray Energy Holdings Co.’s jointly administered Chapter 11 cases) and (ii) ACNR Holdings, Inc. to fully and finally resolve the disputes raised in the litigation captioned CONSOL Energy Inc. v Murray Energy Holdings Co., et al., Adversary Case 2:20-ap-02036, arising out of Murray Energy Holdings Co.'s bankruptcy proceedings and any and all other disputes, controversies, or causes of action between and among them. The underlying agreements and compromises, which have been memorialized in definitive documentation, were treated as a single, integrated transaction. As of March 31,2021, this single, integrated transaction resulted in $4,895 of Other Receivables, net, and $22,766 of Other Assets, net, included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2020, this single, integrated transaction resulted in $4,867 of Other Receivables, net, and $22,055 of Other Assets, net, included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 14 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities with respect to additional information relating to certain liabilities of the Company under the Coal Act (as defined below).

Coal Revenue

CONSOL Energy's coal revenue is generally recognized when title passes to the customer and the price is fixed and determinable. Generally, title passes when coal is loaded at the central preparation facility, the CONSOL Marine Terminal or, on occasion, other destinations. The ~~Company~~Company's coal contract revenue per ton is fixed and determinable and adjusted for nominal quality adjustments. Some coal contracts also contain positive electric power price-related adjustments, which represent market-driven price adjustments, wherein no additional value is exchanged, in addition to a fixed base price per ton. The Company’s coal contracts generally do not allow for retroactive adjustments to pricing after title to the coal has ~~determined that each ton of coal represents a separate and distinct performance obligation.~~passed. The Company's coal supply contracts and other sales and operating revenue contracts vary in length from short-term to long-term contracts and do not typically have significant financing components.

The estimated transaction price from each of the Company's contracts is based on the total amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled under the contract. Included in the transaction price for certain coal supply contracts is the impact of variable consideration, including quality price adjustments, handling services, per ton price fluctuations based on certain coal sales price indices and anticipated payments in lieu of shipments. The estimated transaction price for each contract is allocated to the Company's performance obligations based on relative stand-alone selling prices determined at contract inception.

~~Coal Revenue~~

~~Revenues are generally recognized when title passes to the customers~~ The Company has determined that each ton of coal represents a separate and the price is fixed and determinable. Generally, title passes when coal is loaded at the central preparation facility and, on occasion, at terminal locations or other customer destinations. The Company's coal contract revenue per ton is fixed and determinable and adjusted for nominal quality adjustments. Some coal contracts also contain positive electric power price-related adjustments, which represent market-driven price adjustments, wherein no additional value is exchanged, in addition to a fixed base price per ton. The Company’s coal contracts generally do not allow for retroactive adjustments to pricing after title to the coal has passed.

distinct performance obligation. Some of the Company's contracts span multiple years and have annual pricing modifications, based upon market-driven or inflationary adjustments, where no additional value is exchanged. Management believes that the invoice price is the most appropriate rate at which to recognize revenue.

While CONSOL Energy does, from time to time, experience costs of obtaining coal customer contracts with amortization periods greater than one year, those costs are generally immaterial to the Company's net income. At March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company did not have any capitalized costs to obtain customer contracts on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of and for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~ 2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, the Company has not recognized any amortization of previously existing capitalized costs of obtaining customer contracts. Further, the Company has not recognized any coal revenue in the current period that is not a result of current period performance.

Terminal Revenue

Terminal revenues are attributable to the Company's CONSOL Marine Terminal and include revenues earned from providing receipt and unloading of coal from rail cars, transporting coal from the receipt point to temporary storage or stockpile facilities located at the Terminal, stockpiling, blending, weighing, sampling, redelivery, and loading of coal onto vessels. Revenues for these services are ~~generally~~ earned on a ~~rateable~~ratable basis, and performance obligations are considered fulfilled as the services are performed.

The CONSOL Marine Terminal does not normally experience material costs of obtaining customer contracts with amortization periods greater than one year. At March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company did not have any capitalized costs to obtain customer contracts on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of and for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~ 2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, the Company has not recognized any amortization of previously existing capitalized costs of obtaining Terminal customer contracts. Further, the Company has not recognized any revenue in the current period that is not a result of current period performance.

Freight Revenue

Some of CONSOL Energy's coal contracts require that the Company sell its coal at locations other than its central preparation plant. The cost to transport the Company's coal to the ultimate sales point is passed through to the Company's customers and CONSOL Energy recognizes the freight revenue equal to the transportation costs when title of the coal passes to the customer.

Contract Balances

Contract assets are recorded separately from trade receivables in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reclassified to trade receivables as title passes to the customer and the Company's right to consideration becomes unconditional. Payments for coal shipments are typically due within two to four weeks from the invoice date. CONSOL Energy typically does not have material contract assets that are stated separately from trade receivables since the Company's performance obligations are satisfied as control of the goods or services passes to the customer, thereby granting the Company an unconditional right to receive consideration. Contract liabilities relate to consideration received in advance of the satisfaction of the Company's performance obligations. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue at the point in time when control of the good ~~or service~~ passes to the ~~customer.~~customer, or over time when services are provided.

NOTE 6—7—INCOME TAXES:

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $5,185, or 16.4% of earnings before income taxes based on the actual year-to-date effective rate for this period. The income tax provision for interim periods is generally determined using an estimate of the Company's annual effective tax rate, and adjusted for discrete items, if any, in the relevant period. However, given current and expected operating activities during the year, considering the significant benefit from excess percentage depletion, estimating a reliable annual effective tax rate has become difficult as small changes in forecasted results can produce significant changes to the Company's annual effective tax rate. Therefore, the Company has determined that the actual year-to-date effective tax rate is the best estimate for the reporting period ended March 31, 2021. The Company ~~has~~will continue to utilize this methodology until reliable estimates of the annual effective tax rate can be made. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the income tax benefit for excess percentage depletion, offset by the impact of tax expense related to compensation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company evaluated the impact of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which ~~was signed into law by the President of the United States in March 2020. The CARES Act has~~had various income tax related provisions, including temporary net operating loss carryback and limitation measures, a relaxation of the limitation on interest deductions, the postponement of statutory filing dates, and a technical correction of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act related to qualified improvement property.

The Company's effective tax rate is based on its estimated full year effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the income tax benefit for excess percentage depletion, offset by the impact of discrete tax expense related to equity compensation and the unfavorable impact on percentage depletion related to the additional interest deduction available under the CARES Act. The CARES Act increased the amount of deductible interest from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% for tax years 2019 and 2020, which ~~generates current~~generated a cash tax benefit, but also ~~reduces~~reduced the base of earnings upon which percentage depletion was computed. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 44.6%, ~~composed of a tax benefit of (3.1)% from operations and discrete tax expense of $902 related to equity compensation and $1,139 related to the effect of the CARES Act, as noted above.~~

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was (4.4)%, composed of a tax benefit of (2.5)% from operations and a discrete tax benefit of (1.9)% primarily related to equity compensation. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 differswhich differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to ~~the~~discrete income tax charges related to equity compensation and the effect of the CARES Act as noted above, partially offset by the benefit anticipated for excess percentage depletion.

The Company utilizes the “more likely than not” standard in recognizing a tax benefit in its financial statements. For the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. ~~If accrual for interest or penalties is required, it is the Company's policy to include these as a component of income tax expense.~~

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and its various states, as well as Canada and its various provinces. Under the provisions of the tax matters agreement entered into between the Company and its former parent on November 28, 2017 ~~(the~~(the “TMA”), certain subsidiaries of the Company are subject to examination for ~~tax years for the~~ period January 1, ~~2016~~ 2017 through ~~the three months ended March 31, 2020 for certain state and foreign returns. Further,~~November 28, 2017. Furthermore, the Company is subject to examination for the period November 28, 2017 through ~~the three months ended March~~December 31, 2020 for federal and ~~certain~~ state returns.

NOTE 7—8—CREDIT LOSSES:

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU ~~2016-013,~~ 2016-013,Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic ~~326)~~326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments using a modified retrospective approach. This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss impairment model for financial instruments, including trade and other receivables. The amendment requires entities to consider forward-looking information to estimate expected credit losses, resulting in earlier recognition of losses for receivables that are current or not yet due, which were not considered under previous accounting guidance. The Company recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the amount of $3,298, net of $1,109 of income taxes, for expected credit losses on financial assets at the adoption date.

The following table illustrates the impact of ASC 326.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Receivables	$	7,218	$	2,811	$	4,407

The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The Company's expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade and other accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on an aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company's monitoring activities include timely account reconciliations, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions.

Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the novel coronavirus ~~(COVID-19)~~(COVID-19) pandemic and determined that the estimate of credit losses was not significantly impacted.

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for changes to the assessment of anticipated payment, changes in economic conditions, current industry trends in the markets the Company serves, and changes in the financial health of the Company's counterparties.

NOTE 9—10—ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION:

CONSOL Energy and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries are parties to a trade accounts receivable securitization facility with financial institutions for the sale on a continuous basis of eligible trade accounts receivable. In March 2020, the securitization facility was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date from August 30, 2021 to March 27, 2023.

Pursuant to the securitization facility, CONSOL Thermal Holdings LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, sells current and future trade receivables to CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company ~~LLC.~~LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. CONSOL Marine Terminals LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC sell and/or contribute current and future trade receivables (including receivables sold to CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC by CONSOL Thermal Holdings LLC) to CONSOL Funding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “SPV”). The SPV, in turn, pledges its interests in the receivables to PNC Bank, N.A., which either makes loans or issues letters of credit on behalf of the SPV. The maximum amount of advances and letters of credit outstanding under the securitization facility may not exceed $100 million.

Loans under the securitization facility accrue interest at a reserve-adjusted LIBOR market index rate equal to the ~~one-month~~one-month Eurodollar rate. Loans and letters of credit under the securitization facility also accrue a program fee and a letter of credit participation fee, respectively, ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum depending on the total net leverage ratio of CONSOL Energy. In addition, the SPV paid certain structuring fees to PNC Capital Markets LLC and ~~will pay~~pays other customary fees to the lenders, including a fee on unused commitments equal to 0.60% per annum.

At March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company's eligible accounts receivable yielded ~~$30,258~~$25,197 of borrowing capacity. At March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the facility had 0 outstanding borrowings and ~~$30,919~~$25,500 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving 0no unused capacity. CONSOL Energy posted ~~$661~~$303 of cash collateral to secure the difference in the outstanding letters of credit and the eligible accounts receivable. Cash collateral of ~~$661~~$303 is included in Restricted Cash in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the Company's eligible accounts receivable yielded ~~$41,282~~$31,868 of borrowing capacity. At December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the facility had 0 outstanding borrowings and ~~$41,211~~$31,218 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving available borrowing capacity of ~~$71.~~$650.

In November 2017, CONSOL Energy entered into a revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, N.A. with commitments up to $300 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), a Term Loan A Facility of up to $100 million (the “TLA Facility”) and a Term Loan B Facility of up to $400 million (the “TLB Facility”, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility, the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). On March 28, 2019, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities ~~(the “amendment”)~~ to increase the borrowing commitment of the Revolving Credit Facility to $400 million and reallocate the principal amounts outstanding under the TLA Facility and TLB Facility. ~~As a result,~~ On March 29, 2021, the ~~principal amount outstanding~~Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities to revise the negative covenant with respect to other indebtedness to allow the Company to incur obligations under the tax-exempt solid waste disposal revenue bonds. On June 5, 2020, the Company amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “amendment”) to provide eight quarters of financial covenant relaxation, effect an increase in the rate at which borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA Facility ~~was $100 million~~bear interest, and ~~the principal amount outstanding under the TLB Facility was $275 million.~~add an anti-cash hoarding provision. Borrowings under the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate which can be, at the Company's option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (ii) an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility depends on the total net leverage ratio, whereas the applicable margin for the TLB Facility is fixed. The amendment ~~reduced~~increased the applicable margin by 50 basis points on both the Revolving Credit Facility and the TLA ~~Facility, and by 150 basis points on the TLB~~ Facility. ~~The amendment also extended the maturity dates of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.~~ The maturity date of the Revolving Credit and TLA Facilities ~~was extended from November 28, 2021 to~~ is March 28, 2023. The TLB Facility's maturity date ~~was extended from November 28, 2022 to~~ is September 28, 2024. Obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities ~~(Term Loan B and Term Loan A, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, on which there were 0 outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2020)~~ are guaranteed by (i) all owners of ~~the 75% undivided economic interest in~~ the PAMC held by the Company, (ii) any other members of the Company’s group that own any portion of the collateral securing the Revolving Credit Facility, and (iii) subject to certain customary exceptions and agreed materiality thresholds, all other existing or future direct or indirect wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries of the ~~Company (excluding the Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries).~~Company. The obligations are secured by, subject to certain exceptions (including a limitation of pledges of equity interests in certain subsidiaries and certain thresholds with respect to real property), a ~~first-priority~~first-priority lien on (i) the Company’s ~~75% undivided economic~~ interest in the PAMC, (ii) the limited partner units of the Partnership held by the Company, (iii) the equity interests in CONSOL Coal Resources GP LLC held by the Company, (iv) the CONSOL Marine Terminal, ~~and~~ (v) the Itmann Mine and (vi) the 1.5 billion tons of Greenfield Reserves.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of customary affirmative covenants. In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of negative covenants, including (subject to certain exceptions) limitations on (among other things): indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions, restricted payments, and prepayments of junior indebtedness. The amendment ~~expanded~~added additional conditions to be met for the covenants relating to ~~finance leases,~~investments in joint ventures, general investments, share repurchases, dividends, and repurchases of Second Lien Notes. The additional conditions require 0 outstanding borrowings and no more than $200 million of outstanding letters of credit on the Revolving Credit Facility. Further restrictions apply to investments in joint ~~venture investments~~ventures, share repurchases and ~~annual share repurchase baskets.~~ dividends that require the total net leverage ratio shall not be greater than 2.00 to 1.00.

The ~~amendment also amended the restricted payments covenant to permit up to a $50 million annual dividend.~~

~~The Senior Secured~~Revolving Credit ~~Facilities~~Facility and TLA Facility also include covenants relating to (i) a maximum first lien gross leverage ratio, (ii) a maximum total net leverage ratio, and (iii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. ~~CONSOL Energy must maintain a maximum first lien gross leverage ratio covenant of no more than 1.75 to 1.00.~~ The maximum first lien gross leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated First Lien Debt to Consolidated EBITDA, excluding the Partnership. The maximum first lien gross leverage ratio was 1.45 to 1.00 at March 31, 2020. CONSOL Energy must maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio covenant of no more than 2.75 to 1.00. The maximum total net leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated Indebtedness, minus Cash on Hand, to Consolidated EBITDA, excluding the Partnership. The maximum total net leverage ratio was 2.17 to 1.00 at March 31, 2020.EBITDA. Consolidated EBITDA, as used in the covenant calculation, excludes non-cash compensation expenses, non-recurring transaction expenses, extraordinary gains and losses, gains and losses on discontinued operations, non-cash charges related to legacy employee liabilities and gains and losses on debt extinguishment, and ~~includes cash distributions received from the Partnership and~~ subtracts cash payments related to legacy employee liabilities.

The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Fixed ~~Charges, excluding the Partnership.~~Charges. Consolidated Fixed Charges, as used in the covenant calculation, include cash interest payments, cash payments for income taxes, scheduled debt repayments, dividends paid, and Maintenance Capital Expenditures. The amendment revised the financial covenants applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility relating to the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio, maximum total net leverage ratio and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, so that for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 2.50 to 1.00, the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 3.75 to 1.00, and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio shall be 1.00 to 1.00; for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2021 through September 30, 2021, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 2.25 to 1.00 and the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 3.50 to 1.00; for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2021 through March 31, 2022, the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio shall be 1.05 to 1.00; for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2021 through March 31, 2022, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 2.00 to 1.00 and the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 3.25 to 1.00; and for the fiscal quarters ending on or after June 30, 2022, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 1.75 to 1.00, the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 2.75 to 1.00 and the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio shall be 1.10 to 1.00. The maximum first lien gross leverage ratio was 1.37 to 1.00 at March 31, 2021. The maximum total net leverage ratio was 1.97 to 1.00 at March 31, 2021. The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio was ~~1.27~~1.88 to 1.00 at March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The Company was in compliance with all of its ~~debt~~financial covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities as of March 31, ~~2020.~~

2021. The Company is continuing to actively monitor the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on its liquidity.

The TLB Facility also includes a financial covenant that requires the Company to repay a certain amount of its borrowings under the TLB Facility within ten business days after the date it files its Form ~~10-K~~10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission if the Company has excess cash flow (as defined in the credit agreement for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) during the year covered by the applicable Form ~~10-K.~~10-K. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~ 2021, CONSOL Energy made the required repayment of approximately ~~$110~~$5 million based on the amount of the Company's excess cash flow as of December 31, 2018. For fiscal year 2018, such repayment was equal to 75% of the Company's excess cash flow less any voluntary prepayments of its borrowings under the TLB Facility made by the Company during 2018. For all subsequent fiscal years, the2020. The required repayment is equal to a certain percentage of the Company’s excess cash flow for such year, ranging from 0% to 75% depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, less the amount of certain voluntary prepayments made by the Company, if any, under the TLB Facility during such fiscal year. The amendment reduced the maximum amount of the mandatory annual excess cash flow sweep under the TLB Facility by 25%. Based on the Company's excess cash flow calculation, no repayment was required with respect to the year ended December 31, 2019. As such, as of December 31, 2019, no amount related to the prepayment of the TLB Facility in connection with the excess cash flow requirement has been classified as Current Portion of Long-Term Debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of excess cash flow is a covenant feature only applicable as of the Company's year-end and will be calculated as of December 31, ~~2020.~~

2021.

At March 31, 2021, the Revolving Credit Facility had no borrowings outstanding and $145,656 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $254,344 of unused capacity. At December 31, 2020, the Revolving Credit Facility had 0 borrowings outstanding and ~~$79,880~~$125,938 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving ~~$320,120 of unused capacity. At December 31, 2019, the Revolving Credit Facility had 0 borrowings outstanding and $69,588 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $330,412~~$274,062 of unused capacity. From time to time, CONSOL Energy is required to post financial assurances to satisfy contractual and other requirements generated in the normal course of business. Some of these assurances are posted to comply with federal, state or other government agencies' statutes and regulations. CONSOL Energy sometimes uses letters of credit to satisfy these requirements and these letters of credit reduce the Company's borrowing facility capacity.

Table of Contents

In November 2017, CONSOL Energy issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025 (the “Second Lien Notes”) pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of November 13,2017, by and between the Company and UMB Bank, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee and collateral trustee (the “Trustee”). On November 28, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Company executed a supplement to the Indenture and became party to the Indenture as a guarantor (the “Guarantors”). The Second Lien Notes are secured by second priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors that are pledged ~~and~~ on a ~~first-priority~~first-priority basis as collateral securing the Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (described above), subject to certain exceptions under the Indenture. The Indenture contains covenants that will limit the ability of the Company and the Guarantors to (i) incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock; (ii) create liens to secure indebtedness; (iii) declare or pay dividends on the Company’s common stock, redeem stock or make other distributions to the Company’s stockholders; (iv) make investments; (v) restrict dividends, loans or other asset transfers from the Company’s restricted subsidiaries; (vi) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer, lease or dispose of substantially all of the Company’s assets; (vii) sell or otherwise dispose of certain assets, including equity interests in subsidiaries; (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (ix) create unrestricted subsidiaries. These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications. If the Second Lien Notes achieve an investment grade rating from both Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and no default under the Indenture exists, many of the foregoing covenants will terminate and cease to apply.

The only non-guarantor subsidiary of the Senior Credit Facilities is the SPV, which holds the assets pledged to the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. The SPV had total assets of $127,258 and $123,468, comprised mainly of $126,290 and $122,639 trade receivables, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Net income attributable to the SPV was $1,160 and $1,047 for three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which primarily reflected intercompany fees related to purchasing the receivables, which are eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this Form 10-Q. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no borrowings or payments under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility. See Note 10 - Accounts Receivable Securitization for additional information. All other subsidiaries are guarantors of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company spent $9,338 to retire $10,190 of its outstanding 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due in 2025 and made a required repayment of approximately $5 million on the TLB Facility (discussed above). During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company ~~repurchased~~spent $25,480 to retire $43,176 of its outstanding 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due in 2025. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company made a required repayment of approximately $110 million on the TLB Facility (discussed above) and amended the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Company also repurchased $7,000 of its outstanding 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due in 2025 during the three months ended March 31, 2019. As part of these transactions, ~~$16,833~~$683 and ~~$23,143~~$16,833 was included in ~~(Gain) Loss~~Gain on Debt Extinguishment on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~ 2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

The Company is a borrower under 2an asset-backed financing ~~arrangements~~arrangement related to certain equipment. The equipment, which ~~has~~had an approximate value of ~~$18,243,~~$2,632 and $2,813 at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectfully, fully collateralizes the ~~loans.~~loan.

2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into interest rate swaps, which effectively converted $150,000 of the TLB Facility's floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020 and 2021, and $50,000 of the TLB Facility's floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate for the twelve months ending December 31, 2022. The interest rate swaps qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment and as such, the change in the fair value of the interest rate swaps is recorded on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset or liability. The effective portion of the gains or losses is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and the ineffective portion is reported in earnings. At March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the interest rate swap contracts were reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value of ~~$3,861~~$2,275 and ~~$154,~~$2,834, respectively, which is recorded in Other Accrued Liabilities and Other Liabilities. The fair value of the interest rate swaps reflected an unrealized gain of $414 (net of $144 tax) at March 31, 2021 and an unrealized loss of $2,773 (net of ~~$(933)~~$933 tax) at March 31, 2020. The unrealized ~~loss~~gain (loss) is included on the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive loss, as well as on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as unrealized ~~loss~~gain (loss) on cash flow hedges. Some of the Company's interest rate swaps reached their effective date in the three months ~~ending~~ ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. As such, a loss of $532 and a gain of $4 was recognized in interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of ~~Income.~~Income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During ~~2020,~~2021, notional amounts of $150,000 will become effective.

NOTE ~~13—~~14—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

The Company and its former parent entered into a separation and distribution agreement on November 28, 2017 that implemented the legal and structural separation of the Company from its former parent. The separation and distribution agreement also identified the assets of the Coal Business that were transferred to the Company and the liabilities and contracts related to the Coal Business that were assumed by the Company as part of the separation and distribution, and provides post-closing indemnification obligations and procedures between the Company and its former parent relating to the liabilities of the Coal Business that the Company assumed.

The Company is subject to various lawsuits and claims with respect to such matters as personal injury, wrongful death, damage to property, exposure to hazardous substances, governmental regulations including environmental remediation, employment and contract disputes and other claims and actions arising out of the normal course of business. The Company accrues the estimated loss for these lawsuits and claims when the loss is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company’s estimated accruals related to these pending claims, individually and in the aggregate, are immaterial to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company as of March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. It is possible that the aggregate loss in the future with respect to these lawsuits and claims could ultimately be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows; however, such amounts cannot be reasonably estimated. The amount claimed against the Company as of March 31, ~~2020~~2021 is disclosed below when an amount is expressly stated in the lawsuit or claim, which is not often the case.

Fitzwater Litigation:Three ~~NaN~~ nonunion retired coal miners have sued Fola Coal Company LLC, Consolidation Coal Company (“CCC”) and CONSOL of Kentucky Inc. (“COK”) (as well as the Company's former parent) in West Virginia Federal Court alleging ERISA violations in the termination of retiree health care benefits. The Plaintiffs contend they relied to their detriment on oral statements and promises of “lifetime health benefits” allegedly made by various members of management during Plaintiffs’ employment and that they were allegedly denied access to Summary Plan Documents that clearly reserved the right to modify or terminate the Retiree Health and Welfare Plan subject to Plaintiffs’ claims. Pursuant to Plaintiffs’ amended complaint filed on April 24,2017, Plaintiffs request that retiree health benefits be reinstated and seek to represent a class of all nonunion retirees who were associated with AMVEST and COK areas of operation. On October 15, 2019, ~~Plantiffs’~~Plaintiffs’ supplemental motion for class certification was denied on all counts. On ~~April~~July 15, 2020, Plaintiffs filed an interlocutory appeal with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on the Order denying class certification. The Fourth Circuit denied Plaintiffs' appeal on August 14, 2020. On October 1, 2020, the District Court ~~issued~~entered a ~~revised scheduling~~pretrial order ~~for the remaining individual claims,~~ setting ~~August 4, 2020 as~~ the trial ~~date.~~date, which was held in February 2021. No ruling has been issued by the judge. The Company believes it has a meritorious defense and intends to vigorously defend this suit.

Casey Litigation: A class action lawsuit was filed on August 23, 2017 on behalf of 2two nonunion retired coal miners against CCC, COK, CONSOL Buchanan Mining Co., LLC and Kurt Salvatori in West Virginia Federal Court alleging ERISA violations in the termination of retiree health care benefits. Filed by the same lawyers who filed the Fitzwater litigation, and raising nearly identical claims, the Plaintiffs contend they relied to their detriment on oral promises of “lifetime health benefits” allegedly made by various members of management during Plaintiffs’ employment and that they were not provided with copies of Summary Plan Documents clearly reserving to the Company the right to modify or terminate the Retiree Health and Welfare Plan. Plaintiffs request that retiree health benefits be reinstated for them and their dependents and seek to represent a class of all nonunion retirees of any subsidiary of the Company's former parent that operated or employed individuals in McDowell or Mercer Counties, West Virginia, or Buchanan or Tazewell Counties, Virginia whose retiree welfare benefits were terminated. On December 1, 2017, the trial court judge in Fitzwater signed an order to consolidate Fitzwater with Casey. The Casey complaint was amended on March 1, 2018 to add new plaintiffs, add defendant CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company, LLC and eliminate defendant CONSOL Buchanan Mining Co., LLC in an attempt to expand the class of retirees. On October 15, 2019, ~~Plantiffs’~~Plaintiffs’ supplemental motion for class certification was denied on all counts. On ~~April~~July 15, 2020, Plaintiffs filed an interlocutory appeal with the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on the Order denying class certification. The Fourth Circuit denied Plaintiffs' appeal on August 14, 2020. On October 1, 2020, the District Court ~~issued~~entered a ~~revised scheduling~~pretrial order ~~for the remaining individual claims,~~ setting ~~August 4, 2020 as~~ the trial ~~date.~~date, which was held in February 2021. No ruling has been issued by the judge. The Company believes it has a meritorious defense and intends to vigorously defend this suit.

United Mine Workers of America 1992 Benefit Plan Litigation: In 2013, Murray Energy and its subsidiaries (“Murray”) entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Murray sale agreement”) with the Company's former parent pursuant to which Murray acquired the stock of CCC and certain subsidiaries and certain other assets and liabilities. At the time of sale, the liabilities included certain retiree medical liabilities under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 (“Coal Act”) and certain federal black lung liabilities under the Black Lung Benefits Act (“BLBA”). Based upon information available, the Company estimates that the annual servicing costs of these liabilities are approximately $10 million to $20 million per year for the next ten years. The annual servicing cost would decline each year since the beneficiaries of the Coal Act consist principally of miners who retired prior to 1994. Murray filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2019. As part of the ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, Murray entered into a settlement with the United Mine Workers of America 1992 Benefit Plan (“1992 Plan”) to transfer retirees in the Murray Energy Section 9711 Plan into the 1992 Plan, which the bankruptcy court approved on April 30, 2020. The 1992 Plan recently filed an action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia asking the court to make a determination whether the Company's former parent or the Company has any continuing retiree medical liabilities under the Coal Act. The Murray sale agreement includes indemnification by Murray with respect to the Coal Act and BLBA liabilities. In addition, the Company had agreed to indemnify its former parent relative to certain pre-separation liabilities. As of September 16, 2020, the Company has entered into a settlement agreement with Murray and has withdrawn its claims in bankruptcy. See Note 2 - Major Transactions for a discussion of this settlement agreement. The Company will continue to vigorously defend any claims that attempt to transfer any of such liabilities directly or indirectly to the Company, including raising all applicable defenses against the 1992 Plan’s suit and those of any other party.

Other Matters: Various Company subsidiaries are defendants in certain other legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of the Coal Business prior to the separation and distribution, and the Company is also a defendant in other legal proceedings following the separation and distribution. In the opinion of management, based upon an investigation of these matters and discussion with legal counsel, the ultimate outcome of such other legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Table of Contents

As part of the separation and distribution, the Company assumed various financial obligations relating to the Coal Business and agreed to reimburse its former parent for certain financial guarantees relating to the Coal Business that its former parent retained following the separation and distribution. Employee-related financial guarantees have primarily been provided to support the ~~United Mine Workers’ of America’s~~ 1992 ~~Benefit~~ Plan and federal black lung and various state workers’ compensation self-insurance programs. Environmental financial guarantees have primarily been provided to support various performance bonds related to reclamation and other environmental issues. Other financial guarantees have been extended to support sales contracts, insurance policies, legal matters, full and timely payments of mining equipment leases, and various other items necessary in the normal course of business.

The following is a summary, as of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, of the financial guarantees, unconditional purchase obligations and letters of credit to certain third parties. These amounts represent the maximum potential of total future payments that the Company could be required to make under these instruments, or under the separation and distribution agreement to the extent retained by the Company's former parent on behalf of the Coal Business. Certain letters of credit included in the table below were issued against other commitments included in this table. These amounts have not been reduced for potential recoveries under recourse or collateralization provisions. Generally, recoveries under reclamation bonds would be limited to the extent of the work performed at the time of the default. ~~No amounts related to these financial guarantees and letters of credit are recorded as liabilities in the financial statements.~~ The Company’s management believes that these ~~guarantees will expire without being funded, and therefore, the~~ commitments will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Included in the above table are commitments and guarantees entered into in conjunction with the sale of Consolidation Coal Company and certain of its subsidiaries, which contain all 5five of its longwall coal mines in West Virginia and its river operations, to a third party. As part of the separation and distribution, the Company's former parent agreed to indemnify the Company and the Company agreed to indemnify its former parent in each case with respect to guarantees of certain equipment lease obligations that were assumed by the third party. In the event that the third party would default on the obligations defined in the agreements, the Company ~~would~~could be required to perform under the guarantees. ~~If the Company would be required to perform, the stock purchase agreement provides various recourse actions.~~ As of March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company has not been required to perform under these guarantees. The equipment lease obligations are collateralized by the underlying assets. The current maximum estimated exposure under these guarantees as of March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and December 31, ~~2019~~2020 is believed to be approximately ~~$20,000. At March 31, 2020~~$7,000 and December 31, 2019, the fair value of these guarantees was $444 and $482, respectively, and is included in Other Accrued Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of certain of the guarantees was determined using the Company’s risk-adjusted interest rate. Significant increases or decreases in the risk-adjusted interest rates may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. No other amounts related to financial guarantees and letters of credit are recorded as liabilities in the financial statements. Significant judgment is required in determining the fair value of these guarantees. The guarantees of the leases are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

$8,000, respectively.

The Company regularly evaluates the likelihood of default for all guarantees based on an expected loss analysis and records the fair value, if any, of its guarantees as an obligation in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE ~~14—~~15—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

CONSOL Energy determines the fair value of assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair values are based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations. The fair value hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources (including LIBOR-based discount rates), while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions of what market participants would use.

The fair value hierarchy includes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as described below.

Level One - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level Two - The fair value of the assets and liabilities included in Level 2 are based on standard industry income approach models that use significant observable inputs, including LIBOR-based discount rates.

Level Three - Unobservable inputs significant to the fair value measurement supported by little or no market activity. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s ~~third-party~~third-party guarantees are the credit risk of the ~~third-party~~third-party and the ~~third-party~~third-party surety bond markets. A significant increase or decrease in these values, in isolation, would have a directionally similar effect resulting in higher or lower fair value measurement of the Company’s Level 3 guarantees.

In those cases when the inputs used to measure fair value meet the definition of more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its totality determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy.

The financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

(1) Interest rate swaps are valued based on observable market swap rates and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value for which the fair value option was not elected:

Long-term debt: The fair value of long-term debt is measured using unadjusted quoted market prices or estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discounted cash flow analyses are based on current market rates for instruments with similar cash flows.

The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments for which the fair value option was not elected are as follows:

NOTE ~~15—~~16—SEGMENT INFORMATION:

The Company reports segment information based on the “management” approach. The management approach designates the internal reporting used by management to make decisions on and assess performance of the Company’s reportable segments. CONSOL Energy ~~Inc.~~ consists of 12 reportable ~~segment:~~segments, the ~~Pennsylvania Mining Complex, which~~PAMC and the CONSOL Marine Terminal. The PAMC includes the Bailey Mine, the Enlow Fork Mine, the Harvey Mine and ~~the Central Preparation Plant.~~a centralized preparation plant. The PAMC segment’s principal activities ofinclude the ~~PAMC are~~ mining, preparation and marketing of thermal coal, sold primarily to industrial end-users, power ~~generators. It also includes selling,~~generators and metallurgical end-users. The CONSOL Marine Terminal provides coal export terminal services through the Port of Baltimore. Selling, general and administrative ~~activities, as well as various other activities assigned~~costs are allocated to the ~~PAMC.~~

Company’s segments based on a percentage of resources utilized, a percentage of total revenue and a percentage of total projected capital expenditures. CONSOL Energy’s Other ~~division~~segment includes revenue and expenses from various corporate and diversified business activities that are not allocated to the PAMC ~~division.~~or the CONSOL Marine Terminal segments. The diversified business activities include the ~~CONSOL Marine Terminal,~~ development of the Itmann Mine, the Greenfield Reserves, closed and idle mine activities, ~~selling, general~~other income, gain on asset sales related to non-core assets, and ~~administrative activities,~~gain/loss on debt extinguishment. Additionally, interest expense and income taxes, as well as various other non-operated activities, none of which are individually significant to the ~~Company.~~

Company, are also reflected in CONSOL Energy's Other segment and are not allocated to the PAMC and CONSOL Marine Terminal segments.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments utilizing Adjusted EBITDA and various sales and production metrics. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with GAAP, and items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant in understanding and assessing the Company's financial condition. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, nor as an alternative to net income, income from operations, or cash flows from operations, or as a measure of the Company's profitability, liquidity, or performance under GAAP. The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA to measure the operating performance of its segments and to allocate resources to its segments. Investors should be aware that the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The CONSOL Marine Terminal has been disclosed in CONSOL Energy’s Other segment during prior years due to its relative contribution to the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA. The recent COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the Company’s 2020 financial performance and influenced its outlook with respect to the importance of coal exports. Effective December 31, 2020, the Company disclosed the CONSOL Marine Terminal in a separate reportable segment due to its increased contribution to Adjusted EBITDA as well as the increased reliance on coal exports serviced by the CONSOL Marine Terminal in accordance with how the Company's chief operating decision maker receives and reviews financial information. The Company has revised the consolidated segment information for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect this reclassification.

~~On March 28, 2019,~~Merger, the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement was ~~amended to extend~~terminated, all obligations and guarantees thereunder repaid and discharged and all liens granted in connection therewith released. In connection with the maturity date from February 27, 2023 to December 28, 2024. Interest accrues at a rate ranging from 3.75% to 4.75%, subject to the Partnership's net leverage ratio. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, $2,114 and $1,796termination of ~~interest was incurred under~~ the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement ~~respectively. The collateral obligations under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement generally mirror the Original CCR Credit Facility, as does the list~~and in exchange for, and in satisfaction of, entities that will act as guarantors thereunder. The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement is subject to financial covenants relating to a maximum first lien gross leverage ratio and a maximum total net leverage ratio, which will be calculated on a consolidated basis for the Partnership and its restricted subsidiaries at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Partnership was in compliance with each of these financial covenants at March 31, 2020. The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement also contains a number of customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Partnership to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, and make investments, acquisitions, dispositions, restricted payments, and prepayments of junior indebtedness (subject to certain limited exceptions).

CCR is a party to a number of other agreements with CONSOL Energy, or its subsidiaries, that are described in detail in the section titled “Agreements with Affiliates” in Item 13 of CCR’s Form 10-K filed on February 14, 2020.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, CCR had a net payable to the Company in the amount of $4,279 and $1,419, respectively. This payable includes reimbursements for business expenses, executive fees, stock-based compensation and other items under the Omnibus Agreement.

In May 2019, CONSOL Energy Inc.'s Board of Directors approved an expansion of the stock, unit and debt repurchase program (see Note 18 - Stock, Unit and Debt Repurchases). The program expansion allows the Company to use up to $50 million of the program to purchase CCR's outstanding common units in the open market. None of the Partnership's common units were purchased under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

NOTE 18—STOCK ~~UNIT~~ AND DEBT REPURCHASES:

In December 2017, CONSOL Energy’s Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase, from time to time, the ~~Company’s~~Company's outstanding shares of common stock or its 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due ~~2025, in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million through~~2025. Since its inception, the period ending June 30, 2019. The program was subsequently amended by CONSOL Energy’s Board of Directors in July 2018 to allow up to $100 million of repurchases of the Company’s common stock or its 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025, subject to certain limitations in the Company’s current credit agreement and the TMA. The Company’s Board of Directors also authorized the Company to use up to $25 million of the program to purchase CONSOL Coal Resources LP’s outstanding common units in the open market. In May 2019, CONSOL Energy's Board of Directors approved an expansion of the program in the amount of $75 million, bringing the aggregate limit of the program to $175 million. The May 2019 expansion also increased the aggregate limit of the amount of CCR's common units that can be purchased under the program to $50 million, which is consistent with the Company's credit facility covenants that prohibit the Company from using more than $50 million for the purchase of CCR's outstanding common units.

Our Business

We are a leading, low-cost producer of high-quality bituminous coal, focused on the extraction and preparation of coal in the Appalachian Basin due to our ability to efficiently produce and deliver large volumes of high-quality coal at competitive prices, the strategic location of our mines and the industry experience of our management team.

Coal from the PAMC is valued because of its high energy content (as measured in Btu per pound), relatively low levels of sulfur and other impurities, and strong thermoplastic properties that enable it to be used in metallurgical as well as thermal applications. We take advantage of these desirable quality characteristics and our extensive logistical network, which is directly served by both the Norfolk Southern and CSX railroads, to aggressively market our product to a broad base of strategically selected, top-performing power plant customers in the eastern United States. We also capitalize on the operational synergies afforded by the CONSOL Marine Terminal to export our coal to ~~thermal~~industrial, power generation and metallurgical end-users ~~in Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa, as well as Canada.~~globally.

Table of Contents

Our operations, including the PAMC and the CONSOL Marine Terminal, have consistently generated strong cash ~~flows.~~flows, even through the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the PAMC controls ~~669.4~~657.9 million tons of high-quality Pittsburgh seam reserves, enough to allow for ~~approximately 23.5~~more than 20 years of full-capacity production. In addition, we own or control approximately 1.5 billion tons of Greenfield Reserves located in the Northern Appalachian (“NAPP”), the Central Appalachian (“CAPP”) and the Illinois Basins (“~~ILB��~~ILB”), which we believe provide future growth and monetization opportunities. Our vision is to maximize cash flow generation through the safe, compliant, and efficient operation of this core asset base, while strategically reducing debt, returning capital through share buybacks or dividends, and, when prudent, allocating capital toward compelling growth and diversification opportunities.

Our core businesses consist of our:

•

Pennsylvania Mining Complex: The PAMC, which includes the Bailey Mine, the Enlow Fork Mine, the Harvey Mine and the Central Preparation Plant, has extensive high-quality coal reserves. We mine our reserves from the Pittsburgh No. 8 Coal Seam, which is a large contiguous formation of high-Btu coal that is ideal for high productivity, low-cost longwall operations. The design of the PAMC is optimized to produce large quantities of coal on a cost-efficient basis. We can sustain high production volumes at comparatively low operating costs due to, among other things, our technologically advanced longwall mining systems, logistics infrastructure and safety. All our mines at the PAMC utilize longwall mining, which is a highly automated underground mining technique that produces large volumes of coal at lower costs compared to other underground mining methods.

•

CONSOL Marine Terminal: Through our subsidiary CONSOL Marine Terminals LLC, we provide coal export terminal services through the Port of Baltimore. The terminal can either store coal or load coal directly into vessels from rail cars. It is also the only major east coast United States coal terminal served by two railroads, Norfolk Southern Corporation and CSX Transportation Inc.

•

Itmann Mine: Construction of the Itmann Mine, located in Wyoming County, West Virginia, began in the second half of 2019; development mining began in April 2020, and full production is expected upon the completion of a new preparation plant. When fully operational, the Company anticipates approximately 900 thousand tons per year of high-quality, low-vol coking coal capacity.

These low-cost longwall operations. The design of the PAMC is optimized to produce large quantities of coal on a cost-efficient basis. We are able to sustain high production volumes at comparatively low operating costs due to, among other things, our technologically advanced longwall mining systems, logistics infrastructure and safety. All of the PAMC mines utilize longwall mining, which is a highly automated underground mining technique that produces large volumes of coal at lower costs compared to other underground mining methods. We own a 75% undivided interest in the PAMC, and the remaining 25% is owned by CCR, as discussed below.

CCR Ownership: CONSOL Energy owns, directly or indirectly, through CCR's general partner, 61.4% of the partnership, which is comprised of a 1.7% general partner interest and a 59.7% limited partner interest. At March 31, 2020, CCR's assets included a 25% undivided interest in, and full operational control over, the PAMC.

Itmann Mine: Construction of the Itmann Mine, located in Wyoming County, West Virginia, began in the second half of 2019. Full production from the mine is expected upon completion of a new preparation plant, and could begin by the end of 2021, depending on market conditions. When fully operational, the Company anticipates approximately 900 thousand tons per year of high-quality, low-vol coking coal capacity.

~~Greenfield Reserves: We own approximately 1.5 billion tons of high-quality, undeveloped coal reserves located in NAPP, CAPP and the ILB.~~

~~These~~ assets and the diverse markets they serve provide ~~robust flexibility for generating~~us opportunities to generate cash across a wide variety of demand and pricing scenarios. ~~This flexibility begins with the low-cost structure and optionality afforded by the PAMC.~~ The three mines at the PAMC, which include the Bailey, Enlow Fork and Harvey mines, produce coal from the Pittsburgh No. 8 Coal Seam using longwall mining, a highly automated underground mining technique that produces large volumes of coal at lower costs compared to alternative mining methods. These three mines ~~collectively~~typically operate four to five longwalls, and the production from all three mines is processed at a single, centralized preparation plant, which is connected via conveyor belts to each mine. The Central Preparation Plant, which can clean and process up to 8,200 raw tons of coal per hour, provides economies of scale while also maintaining the ability to segregate and blend coal based on quality. This infrastructure enables us to tailor our production levels and quality specifications to meet market demands. It also results in a highly productive, low-cost operation as compared to other NAPP coal mines. ~~In 2019,~~The PAMC is the ~~PAMC operated three of the top four~~ most productive ~~longwall mines~~and efficient coal mining complex in NAPP. For the year ending December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, productivity averaged ~~7.10~~7.21 tons of coal per employee hour, compared with an average of ~~5.28~~4.90 tons per employee hour for all other currently-operating NAPP longwalls. Our high productivity helps drive a ~~low cost~~low-cost structure. Our efficiency strengthens our margins throughout the commodity cycle and has allowed us to continue to generate positive margins even in challenging pricing environments.

Coal from the PAMC is versatile in that it can be sold either domestically or abroad, in ~~the thermal coal market~~industrial applications and power generation or as a crossover product in the high-volatile metallurgical coal market. ~~We have a well-established and diverse customer base, comprised primarily~~During the first quarter of ~~domestic electric-power-producing companies located~~2021, we were successful in ~~the eastern United States.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Our management team uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability. The metrics include: (i) coal production, sales volumes and average revenue per ton; (ii) cost of coal sold, a non-GAAP financial measure; (iii) cash cost of coal sold, a non-GAAP financial measure; ~~and~~ (iv) average ~~cash~~ margin per ton sold, an operating ratio derived from non-GAAP financial ~~measures.~~

measures; (v) average cash margin per ton sold, an operating ratio derived from non-GAAP financial measures; and (vi) adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure.

Cost of coal sold, cash cost of coal sold, average margin per ton sold and average cash margin per ton sold normalize the volatility contained within comparable GAAP measures by adjusting certain non-operating or non-cash transactions. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides a helpful measure of comparing our operating performance with the performance of other companies that have different financing, capital structures and tax rates than ours. Each of these non-GAAP metrics are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, industry analysts, lenders and ratings agencies, to assess:

~~our operating performance as compared to the operating performance of other companies in the coal industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure;~~

~~the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow;~~

~~our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures;~~

~~the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities; and~~

~~the attractiveness of capital projects and acquisitions and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.~~

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to total costs, total coal revenue, net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures exclude some, but not all, items that affect ~~net income or net cash,~~measures presented in accordance with GAAP, and these measures and the way we calculate them may vary from those of other companies. As a result, the items presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We evaluate our cost of coal sold and cash cost of coal sold on an aggregate basis. We define cost of coal sold as operating and other production costs related to produced tons sold, along with changes in coal inventory, both in volumes and carrying values. The cost of coal sold includes items such as direct operating costs, royalty and production taxes, direct administration costs, and depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on production assets. Our costs exclude any indirect costs, such as selling, general and administrative costs, freight expenses, interest expenses, depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on non-production assets and other costs not directly attributable to the production of coal. The cash cost of coal sold includes cost of coal sold less depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on production assets. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to cost of coal sold and cash cost of coal sold is total costs and expenses.

Coal production was 7.0 million tons for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 6.0 million tons for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020, compared~~2020. Coal production increased at the Bailey and Harvey mines primarily due to ~~6.8 million tons~~improved demand for the Company's coal. This increase was offset, in part, by a decrease in coal production at the Enlow Fork mine due to operating only one of its two longwalls for the majority of the three months ended March 31, 2019. The PAMC division's coal production decreased mainly in response to weakened customer demand as a result of a warmer than normal winter, followed by a decline in global demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic and, in response, the widespread government-imposed shut-downs, which have significantly reduced electricity consumption and, therefore,2021. Overall demand for the Company's ~~coal.~~

coal during the three months ended March 31, 2020 was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, demand has steadily improved since the low point in the second quarter of 2020. The first quarter of 2021 contained no longwall moves, which allowed the Company to match production with demand.

Coal Revenue

Coal revenue was $284 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $255 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020, compared~~2020. Total tons sold increased in the period-to-period comparison primarily due to ~~$333 million~~a significant improvement in demand for the Company's coal as a result of improved weather, natural gas prices and tightness in the supply of NAPP coal. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2019. Total tons sold decreased in the period-to-period comparison in response to weakened customer demand due to~~2020 a warmer than normal winter followed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and in response, the widespread government-imposed shut-downs ~~which have~~ significantly reduced electricity consumption and, therefore, demand for the Company's coal. ~~The decrease in customer demand resulted in lower pricing received on netback contracts and export sales.~~

Freight Revenue and Freight Expense

Freight revenue is the amount billed to customers for transportation costs incurred. This revenue is based on the weight of coal shipped, negotiated freight rates and method of transportation, primarily rail, used by the customers to which the Company contractually provides transportation ~~services.~~services to move its coal from the mine to the ultimate sales point. Freight revenue is completely offset by freight expense. Freight revenue and freight expense were both $27 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $3 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020, compared to $7~~2020. The $24 million ~~for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The $4 million decrease~~increase was due to ~~decreased~~increased shipments to customers where the Company was contractually obligated to provide transportation services.

The $11 million decrease in miscellaneous other income was ~~$11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The $6 million increase was primarily~~ the result of ~~additional~~ customer contract buyouts in the three months ended March 31, 2020, ~~offset, in part, by a decrease in sales~~none of ~~externally purchased coal to blend and resell. These contract buyouts involved~~which occurred during the ~~negotiation of early terminations of several customer contracts in exchange for payment of certain fees to the Company.~~

three months ended March 31, 2021.

Cost of Coal Sold

Cost of coal sold is comprised of operating costs related to produced tons sold, along with changes in both the volumes and carrying values of coal inventory. The costs of coal sold include items such as direct operating costs, royalties and production taxes, direct administration costs and depreciation, depletion, and amortization costs on production assets. Total cost of coal sold was $219 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, or $18 million lower than the $237 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020, or $5 million lower than the $242 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.~~2020. Average cost of coal sold per ton was $31.85 for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $40.04 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020, compared to $35.92 for the three months ended March 31, 2019.~~2020. The decrease in the total cost of coal sold was primarily driven by decreased production-related expenses, as less coal was mined in response to weakened commodity markets. This was partially offset by an increase in subsidence expense, primarily due to the timing and ~~nature of the properties undermined. On a per unit basis, the decreased production and higher subsidence costs resulted in an overall increase in~~ the average cost of coal sold per ~~ton.~~

ton was primarily driven by tight cost control measures, no longwall moves in the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to one longwall move during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as well as a significant improvement in the Company's operating leverage, as production volumes increased to match demand.

Other Costs

Other costs include items that are assigned to the PAMC division but are not included in unit costs, such as idle mine costs, coal reserve holding costs and purchased coal costs. Total other costs ~~decreased $7 million~~remained consistent in the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in costs related to externally purchased coal to blend and resell.

Selling, General, and Administrative Costs

The amount of selling, general and administrative costs related to the PAMC division was $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $14 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020, compared to $21~~2020. The $5 million ~~for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The $7 million decrease~~increase in the period-to-period comparison was primarily related to ~~accelerated non-cash amortization recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2019 for retiree-eligible employees who received awards under the Company's Performance Incentive Plan, and lower~~higher short-term incentive compensation earned in the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to achieving certain financial metrics, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

CONSOL Energy's potential sources of liquidity include cash generated from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under the revolving credit facility and securitization facility (which are discussed below), and, if necessary, the ability to issue additional equity or debt securities. The Company believes that cash generated from these sources ~~will~~should be sufficient to meet its short-term working capital requirements, long-term capital expenditure requirements, and debt servicing obligations, as well as to provide required letters of credit.

The demand for coal experienced an unprecedented decline ~~starting at~~toward the end of the first quarter ~~ended March 31,~~of 2020, ~~and~~but has steadily improved since the ~~unprecedented decline~~significant COVID-related demand trough in ~~coal demand is continuing into~~ the second quarter of 2020 driven by widespread government-imposed lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This decline in coal demand has negatively impacted our operational, sales and financial performances year-to-date and we expect that this negative impact will continue as the pandemic continues.2020. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company ~~completed a number~~made principal repayments or repurchases of ~~liquidity-enhancing transactions that boosted liquidity despite a large drop in organic free cash flow versus the year-ago period. We closed~~$9 million, $6 million, $9 million and $6 million on ~~the refinancing of a shield rebuild through a~~its finance ~~lease transaction, which generated cash proceeds of $16.3 million, secured a commitment to provide $20.0 million for future equipment~~leases and asset-backed financing ~~needs, and successfully amended and extended our accounts receivable securitization facility, as discussed below.

In March 2020, the President of the United States signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) into law. The CARES Act has various liquidity boosting provisions that affect the Company related to income taxes and employee taxes. The Company has evaluated the various provisions, particularly the increased amount of deductible interest from 30% of adjusted taxable income to 50% for tax years 2019 and 2020. This is expected to reduce the Company's cash burden for 2019 and 2020, resulting in additional free cash flow. In addition to a decrease in the cash paid for income taxes, the Company is expecting additional free cash flow by deferring the Company's payment of its portion of the Social Security payroll taxes in accordance with the provisions of the CARES Act. These sources of cash flow will aid in reducing uncertainty over the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19.

The Company expects to ~~generate~~maintain adequate liquidity through its operating cash flow and revolving credit facility to fund its working capital and capital expenditures requirements.

The Company started a capital construction project on the coarse refuse disposal area in 2017, which is expected to continue through 2021. The construction on the coarse refuse disposal area is now funded, in part, by the $75 million of tax-exempt solid waste disposal revenue bonds, the proceeds of which the Company expects to expend over approximately the next two years, as qualified work is completed.

Uncertainty in the financial markets brings additional potential risks to CONSOL Energy. These risks include a reduction of our ability to raise capital in the equity markets due to declines in the Company's stock price, less availability and higher costs of additional credit, potential counterparty defaults, and commercial bank failures. Financial market disruptions may impact the Company's collection of trade receivables. As a result, CONSOL Energy regularly monitors the creditworthiness of its customers and counterparties and manages credit exposure through payment terms, credit limits, prepayments and security.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of customary affirmative covenants. In addition, the Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain a number of negative covenants, including (subject to certain exceptions) limitations on (among other things): indebtedness, liens, investments, acquisitions, dispositions, restricted payments, and prepayments of junior indebtedness. The amendment ~~expanded~~added additional conditions to be met for the covenants relating to ~~finance leases,~~investments in joint ventures, general investments, share repurchases, dividends, and repurchases of the Second Lien Notes (as defined below).

The TLB Facility also includes a financial covenant that requires the Company to repay a certain amount of its borrowings under the TLB Facility within ten business days after the date it files its Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) if the Company has excess cash flow (as defined in the credit agreement for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities) during the year covered by the applicable Form 10-K. During the three months ended March 31, ~~2019,~~2021, CONSOL Energy made the required repayment of approximately ~~$110~~$5 million based on the amount of the Company's excess cash flow as of December 31, 2018. For fiscal year 2018, such repayment was equal to 75% of the Company’s excess cash flow less any voluntary prepayments of its borrowings under the TLB Facility made by the Company during 2018. For all subsequent fiscal years, the2020. The required repayment is equal to a certain percentage of the Company’s excess cash flow for such year, ranging from 0% to 75% depending on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, less the amount of certain voluntary prepayments made by the Company, if any, under the TLB Facility during such fiscal year. The amendment reduced the maximum amount of the mandatory annual excess cash flow sweep under the TLB Facility by 25%. Based on the Company's excess cash flow calculation, no repayment was required with respect to the year ended December 31, 2019. As such, as of December 31, 2019, no amount related to the prepayment of the TLB Facility in connection with the excess cash flow requirement has been classified as Current Portion of Long-Term Debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of excess cash flow is a covenant feature only applicable as of the Company's year-end and will be calculated as of December 31, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into interest rate swaps, which effectively converted $150 million of the TLB Facility's floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate for the twelve months ending December 31, 2020 and 2021, and $50 million of the TLB Facility's floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate for the twelve months ending December 31, 2022.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities contain customary events of default, including with respect to a failure to make payments when due, cross-default and cross-judgment default and certain bankruptcy and insolvency events.

At March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Revolving Credit Facility had no borrowings outstanding and ~~$80~~$146 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving ~~$320~~$254 million of unused capacity. From time to time, CONSOL Energy is required to post financial assurances to satisfy contractual and other requirements generated in the normal course of business. Some of these assurances are posted to comply with federal, state or other government agencies' statutes and regulations. CONSOL Energy sometimes uses letters of credit to satisfy these requirements and these letters of credit reduce the Company's borrowing facility capacity.

In addition, on November 30, 2017, the SPV entered into a Receivables Financing Agreement (the “Receivables Financing Agreement”) by and among (i) the SPV, as borrower, (ii) CONSOL Pennsylvania, as initial servicer, (iii) PNC Bank, as administrative agent, LC Bank and lender, and (iv) the additional persons from time to time party thereto as lenders. Together, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Sub-Originator PSA and the Receivables Financing Agreement establish the primary terms and conditions of an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization”). In March 2020, the securitization facility was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity date from August 30, 2021 to March 27, 2023.

Pursuant to the Securitization, (i) the Sub-Originator sells current and future trade receivables to CONSOL Pennsylvania and (ii) the Originators sell and/or contribute current and future trade receivables (including receivables sold to CONSOL Pennsylvania by the Sub-Originator) to the SPV and the SPV, in turn, pledges its interests in the receivables to PNC Bank, which either makes loans or issues letters of credit on behalf of the SPV. The maximum amount of advances and letters of credit outstanding under the Securitization may not exceed $100 million.

Loans under the Securitization accrue interest at a reserve-adjusted LIBOR market index rate equal to the one-month Eurodollar rate. Loans and letters of credit under the Securitization also accrue a program fee and a letter of credit participation fee, respectively, ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum depending on the total net leverage ratio of CONSOL Energy. In addition, the SPV paid certain structuring fees to PNC Capital Markets LLC and will pay other customary fees to the lenders, including a fee on unused commitments equal to 0.60% per annum.

The SPV’s assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations owed to the creditors of CONSOL Energy, the Sub-Originator or any of the Originators. The Sub-Originator, the Originators and CONSOL Pennsylvania as servicer are independently liable for their own customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. In addition, CONSOL Energy has guaranteed the performance of the obligations of the Sub-Originator, the Originators and CONSOL Pennsylvania as servicer, and will guarantee the obligations of any additional originators or successor servicer that may become party to the Securitization. However, neither CONSOL Energy nor its affiliates will guarantee collectability of receivables or the creditworthiness of obligors thereunder.

The agreements comprising the Securitization contain various customary representations and warranties, covenants and default provisions which provide for the termination and acceleration of the commitments and loans under the Securitization in certain circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, breach of representation, warranty or covenant, certain insolvency events or failure to maintain the security interest in the trade receivables, and defaults under other material indebtedness.

11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025

On November 13, 2017, the Company issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025 (the “Second Lien Notes”) pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) dated as of November 13, 2017, by and between the Company and UMB Bank, N.A., a national banking association, as trustee and collateral trustee (the “Trustee”). On November 28, 2017, certain subsidiaries of the Company executed a supplement to the Indenture and became party to the Indenture as a guarantor (the “Guarantors”). The Second Lien Notes are secured by second priority liens on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Guarantors that are pledged ~~and~~ on a first-priority basis as collateral securing the Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (described above), subject to certain exceptions under the Indenture.

On or after November 15, 2021, the Company may redeem all or part of the Second Lien Notes at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the rights of holders of the Second Lien Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), beginning on November 15 of the years indicated:

Year		Percentage
2021		105.50%

The Indenture also contains customary events of default, including (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of principal or premium, if any, on the Notes at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise; (iii) covenant defaults; (iv) cross-defaults to certain indebtedness, and (v) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any of the Guarantors. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Second Lien Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. If an event of default arises from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency, with respect to the Company, any restricted subsidiary of the Company that is a significant subsidiary or any group of restricted subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a significant subsidiary, all outstanding Second Lien Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.

If the Company experiences certain kinds of changes of control, holders of the Second Lien Notes will be entitled to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of that holder’s Second Lien Notes pursuant to an offer on the terms set forth in the Indenture. The Company will offer to make a cash payment equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Second Lien Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of holders of the Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

The Second Lien Notes were issued in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A and to persons outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act.

~~Affiliated Company Credit Agreement with Partnership~~

~~On November 28, 2017, the Company also entered into an Affiliated Company Credit Agreement with the Partnership and certain~~Table of its subsidiaries (the “Partnership Credit Parties”) under which the Company provides as lender a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $275 million to the Partnership Credit Parties. In connection with the completion of the separation, the Partnership drew an initial $201 million, the net proceeds of which were used to repay the Original CCR Credit Facility and to provide working capital for the Partnership following the separation and for other general corporate purposes.

On March 28, 2019, the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date from February 27, 2023 to December 28, 2024. The collateral obligations under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement generally mirror the Original CCR Credit Facility, as does the list of entities that will act as guarantors thereunder. The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement is subject to financial covenants relating to a maximum first lien gross leverage ratio and a maximum total net leverage ratio, which will be calculated on a consolidated basis for the Partnership and its restricted subsidiaries at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Partnership was in compliance with each of these financial covenants at March 31, 2020. The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement also contains a number of customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Partnership to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, and make investments, acquisitions, dispositions, restricted payments, and prepayments of junior indebtedness (subject to certain limited exceptions).

Stock ~~Unit~~ and Debt Repurchases

In December 2017, CONSOL Energy’s Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase, from time to time, the Company's outstanding shares of common stock or its 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due ~~2025, in an aggregate amount of up to $50 million through~~2025. Since its inception, the period ending June 30, 2019. The program was subsequently amended by CONSOL Energy's Board of Directors in July 2018 to allow up to $100 million of repurchases of the Company's common stock or its 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025, subject to certain limitations in the Company's current credit agreement and that certain tax matters agreement entered into by and between the Company and its former parent on November 28, 2017 (the “TMA”). The Company's Board of Directors ~~also authorized the Company to use up to $25 million of~~has subsequently amended the program ~~to purchase CONSOL Coal Resources LP's outstanding common units~~several times, the most recent of which amendment in ~~the open market. In May 2019, CONSOL Energy's Board of Directors approved an expansion of the program in the amount of $75 million, bringing~~April 2021 raised the aggregate limit of the ~~program~~Company's repurchase authority to ~~$175 million. The May 2019 expansion also increased the aggregate limit of the amount of CONSOL Coal Resources LP's common units that can be purchased under~~$320 million and extended the program to $50 million, which is consistent with the Company's credit facility covenants that prohibit the Company from using more than $50 million for the purchase of CONSOL Coal Resources LP's outstanding common units. The Company's Board of Directors also approved extending the termination date of the program from June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2020. In July 2019, CONSOL Energy's Board of Directors approved an expansion of the program in the amount of $25 million, bringing the aggregate limit of the program to $200 million. On May 8, 2020, CONSOL Energy Inc.'s Board of Directors approved an expansion of the stock, unit and debt repurchase program. The aggregate amount of the program's expansion is $70 million, bringing the total amount of the Company's stock, unit and debt repurchase program to $270 million. The Company's Board of Directors also approved extending the termination date of the program, from June 30, 2020 to June 30,until December 31, 2022. ~~The program's available capacity as of May 11, 2020 is $100,622.~~

Under the terms of the program, CONSOL Energy is permitted to make repurchases in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, accelerated repurchase programs or in structured share repurchase programs. CONSOL Energy is also authorized to enter into one or more 10b5-1 plans with respect to any of the repurchases. Any repurchases of common stock ~~notes~~ or ~~units~~notes are to be funded from available cash on hand or short-term borrowings. The program does not obligate CONSOL Energy to acquire any particular amount of its common stock ~~notes~~ or ~~units,~~notes, and can be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. The program is conducted in compliance with applicable legal requirements and within the limits imposed by any credit agreement, receivables purchase agreement, indenture or the TMA and is subject to market conditions and other factors.

During the three months ended March 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company ~~repurchased~~spent approximately ~~$43~~$9 million to retire $10 million of its 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due ~~2025.~~2025, which continued to trade below par value. No common shares were repurchased ~~and no common Partnership units were purchased~~ under this program during the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Total Equity and Dividends

Total equity attributable to CONSOL Energy was ~~$571~~$583 million at March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~$572~~$554 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. See the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional details.

The declaration and payment of dividends by CONSOL Energy is subject to the discretion of CONSOL Energy's Board of Directors, and no assurance can be given that CONSOL Energy will pay dividends in the future. The determination to pay dividends in the future will depend upon, among other things, general business conditions, CONSOL Energy's financial results, contractual and legal restrictions regarding the payment of dividends by CONSOL Energy, planned investments by CONSOL Energy and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. The Company's Senior Secured Credit Facilities limit CONSOL Energy's ability to pay dividends up to $25 million annually, which increases to $50 million annually when the Company's total net leverage ratio is less than 1.50 to 1.00 and subject to an aggregate amount up to a cumulative credit calculation set forth in the ~~facilities.~~facilities, with additional conditions of no outstanding borrowings and no more than $200 million of outstanding letters of credit on the Revolving Credit Facility, and the total net leverage ratio shall not be greater than 2.00 to 1.00. The total net leverage ratio was ~~2.17~~1.97 to 1.00 and the cumulative credit was approximately ~~$11~~$55 million at March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The cumulative credit starts with $50 million and builds with excess cash flow commencing in 2018. ~~The calculation of the total net leverage ratio excludes the Partnership.~~ The Senior Secured Credit Facilities do not permit dividend payments in the event of default. The Indenture to the 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes limits dividends when the Company's total net leverage ratio exceeds 2.00 to 1.00 and ~~subject~~limits dividends to an amount not to exceed an annual rate of 4.0% of the quoted public market value per share of such common stock at the time of the declaration. The Indenture does not permit dividend payments in the event of default.

In connection with the separation and distribution, the Partnership entered into an intercompany loan arrangement with the Company with an initial outstanding balance of $201 million. The Partnership used the initial loan to repay outstanding borrowings under the prior revolving credit facility, which was then terminated. The new intercompany loan arrangement similarly limits the Partnership's ability to pay distributions to its unitholders (including the Company) when the Partnership's net leverage ratio exceeds 3.25 to 1.00 or the Partnership's first lien gross leverage ratio exceeds 2.75 to 1.00.

Upon payment of the cash distribution with respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the financial requirements for the conversion of all CCR subordinated units were satisfied. As a result, on August 16, 2019, all 11,611,067 subordinated units, owned entirely by CONSOL Energy Inc., were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis. The conversion did not impact the amount of the cash distribution paid or the total number of CCR's outstanding units representing limited partner interests.

On April 23, 2020, the Board of Directors of CCR's general partner made the decision to temporarily suspend the quarterly cash distributions to all of CCR's unitholders due to the ongoing uncertainty in the commodity markets driven by the COVID-19 pandemic-related demand decline. Accordingly, CCR will focus on deleveraging its balance sheet by conserving cash, boosting liquidity and reducing its outstanding debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

CONSOL Energy does not maintain off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others that are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on CONSOL Energy’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources which are not disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q. CONSOL Energy participates in the United Mine Workers of America (the “UMWA”) Combined Benefit Fund and the UMWA 1992 Benefit Plan which generally accepted accounting principles recognize on a pay-as-you-go basis. These benefit arrangements may result in additional liabilities that are not recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. The various multi-employer benefit plans are discussed in Note ~~16—~~17—Other Employee Benefit Plans in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the December 31, ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K. CONSOL Energy's total contributions under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 were ~~$1,364~~$1,224 and ~~$1,551~~$1,364 for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. Based on available information at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2019,~~2021, CONSOL Energy's obligation for the UMWA Combined Benefit Fund and 1992 Benefit Plan is estimated to be approximately ~~$62,295.~~$56,039. CONSOL Energy also uses a combination of surety bonds, corporate guarantees and letters of credit to secure its financial obligations for employee-related, environmental, performance and various other items which are not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Management believes these items will expire without being funded. See Note ~~13—~~14—Commitments and Contingent Liabilities in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional details of the various financial guarantees that have been issued by CONSOL Energy.

With the exception of historical matters, the matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from results expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

CONSOL Energy, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including CONSOL Energy's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, CONSOL Energy's principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, ~~2020~~2021 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by CONSOL Energy in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and includes controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by CONSOL Energy in such reports is accumulated and communicated to CONSOL Energy's management, including CONSOL Energy's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Our operations are subject to a variety of risks and disputes normally incidental to our business. As a result, we may, at any given time, be a defendant in various legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. However, we are not currently subject to any material ~~litigation. Refer to~~litigation, except as disclosed in Note 1314 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part 1, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, incorporated herein by this reference.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, including the risk factor set forth below, you should carefully consider the factors described in “Part 1 - Item 1A. Risk Factors” of CONSOL Energy's ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K. These described risks are not the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to CONSOL Energy or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect CONSOL Energy's business, financial condition and/or operating results.

~~Our business, results~~

We depend on the services of ~~operations~~key executives and ~~financial condition may be adversely affected by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).~~

~~The COVID-19 pandemic began~~any inability to ~~adversely impact our business~~attract and ~~operations late in the first quarter of 2020 and is continuing to adversely affect our business, operations and liquidity. The effects of the continuing pandemic and related governmental response~~retain key management personnel could ~~include extended disruptions to supply chains and capital markets, reduced labor availability and productivity and a prolonged reduction in demand for coal and overall global economic activity.~~

The demand for coal experienced unprecedented decline starting at the end of the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and the unprecedented decline in coal demand is continuing into the second quarter of 2020 driven by the widespread government-imposed lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which have significantly reduced electricity consumption and, therefore, demand for our coal. This decline in coal demand has negatively impacted our operational, sales and financial performances year-to-date and we expect that this negative impact will continue as the pandemic continues. It is not clear how long the government-imposed shut-downs of non-essential businesses in the United States and abroad will last, and there is a possibility that such shut-downs may be re-imposed after being lifted if COVID-19 experiences a resurgence. We expect that depressed demand for our coal will continue for so long as there is a widespread, government-imposed shut-down of business activity. Additionally, some of our customers have already attempted, and may in the future attempt, to invoke force majeure or similar provisions in the contracts they have in place with us in order to avoid taking possession of and paying us for our coal that they are contractually obligated to purchase. Sustained decrease in demand for our coal and the failure of our customers to purchase coal from us that they are obligated to purchase pursuant to existing contracts would have a material adverse effect on our ~~results~~business.

Our future success depends upon the continued services of ~~operations~~our executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer and ~~financial condition. In addition, COVID-19 is present~~Chief Financial Officer, who have critical experience and relationships in ~~Pennsylvania. On March 30, 2020, we announced~~the coal industry that we ~~temporarily curtailed production at~~rely on to implement our business plan and growth strategy. Our ability to retain senior management has in the ~~Bailey Mine for~~past been, and may in the future be, impacted by volatility in commodity prices and uneven business performance, which have negatively impacted our stock price, and therefore, our ability to use equity compensation as a ~~two-week period and undertook a precautionary deep cleaning~~retention tool. Additionally, the recent efforts of certain members of the ~~facilities at~~investment community, including investment advisors, sovereign wealth funds, public pension funds, universities and other groups, to promote divestment of fossil fuel equities, to encourage the ~~Bailey Mine after two~~consideration of ~~our employees working at such facility tested positive for COVID-19. We may be forced~~environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) practices of companies in a manner that negatively affects coal companies and to ~~temporarily curtail production in our operations again if some of our employees test positive for COVID-19~~pressure lenders to limit funding to companies engaged in the ~~future. Such temporary curtailment~~extraction of fossil fuel reserves may also negatively impact our ability to attract and retain key management personnel. Accordingly, we have entered into, and may need to enter into additional retention or other arrangements that could be costly to maintain. While we have an employment agreement in place with our chief executive officer and change-in-control agreements with our senior executives, there can be no assurance we will continue to retain their services and we may become subject to significant severance payments if our relationship with these executives is terminated under certain circumstances. Further, turnover, planned or otherwise, in these or other key leadership positions may materially adversely affect our ability to manage our business efficiently and effectively, and such turnover can be disruptive and distracting to management, may lead to additional departures of existing personnel and could have a ~~significant impact~~material adverse effect on our ~~production~~operations and future profitability. Our ability to retain our key management personnel or to identify and attract additional management personnel or suitable replacements should any members of ~~coal. The continued spread~~the management team leave or be terminated is dependent on a number of ~~COVID-19 has caused increased volatility in~~factors, including the ~~global capital markets. Such volatility increases~~competitive nature of the ~~cost of,~~employment market and ~~decreases access~~our industry. Any failure to ~~capital. If the Company needs~~retain key management personnel or to ~~access the capital markets to fund its operations, such capital could be prohibitively expensive which~~attract additional or suitable replacement personnel could cause ~~the Company to pursue alternative sources of funding for its operations~~uncertainty among investors, employees, customers and ~~working capital. Finally, COVID-19 may cause some of~~others concerning our ~~suppliers to fail to deliver the quantities of supplies we need or fail to deliver such supplies in~~future direction and performance and could have a timely manner. The failure to receive any such supplies could inhibit our ability to operate our mines or otherwise run our business. Additionally, our ability to ship our coal domestically or abroad could be impaired by disruptions in our global transportation network resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

~~The extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact~~material adverse effect on our business, ~~depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain~~financial condition and unpredictable, including new information concerning the severity of the outbreak and the effectiveness of actions globally to contain or mitigate its effects. While we expect this matter to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, the current level of uncertainty over the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19 means the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The Company will continue to take the appropriate steps to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on the Company's operations, liquidity and financial condition.

operations.

~~As a result of the Murray Energy bankruptcy, the Company may be asked to pay for certain liabilities previously held by Murray in a 2013 transaction between Murray and our former parent.~~

In 2013, Murray Energy and its subsidiaries (“Murray”) entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Murray sale agreement”) with our former parent pursuant to which Murray acquired the stock of CCC and certain subsidiaries and certain other assets and liabilities. At the time of sale, the liabilities included certain retiree medical liabilities under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefits Act of 1992 (“Coal Act”) and certain federal black lung liabilities under the Black Lung Benefits Act (“BLBA”). Based upon information available to the Company, we estimate that the annual servicing costs of these liabilities are approximately $10 million to $20 million per year for the next ten years. The annual servicing cost would decline each year since the beneficiaries of the Coal Act consist principally of miners who retired prior to 1994.

Murray filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2019. As part of the ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, Murray entered into a settlement with the United Mine Workers of America 1992 Benefit Plan (“1992 Plan”) to transfer retirees in the Murray Energy Section 9711 Plan into the 1992 Plan, which the bankruptcy court approved on April 30, 2020. The 1992 Plan recently filed an action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia asking the court to make a determination whether our former parent or we have any continuing retiree medical liabilities under the Coal Act. The Murray sale agreement includes indemnification by Murray with respect to the Coal Act and BLBA liabilities. In addition, we had agreed to indemnify our former parent relative to certain pre-separation liabilities. In addition to pursuing all available claims against Murray in the bankruptcy, we are currently, and will continue to, vigorously defend any claims that attempt to transfer any of such liabilities directly or indirectly to us, including raising all applicable defenses against the 1992 Plan’s suit and those of any other party.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

There were no repurchases of the Company's equity securities during the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. Since the December 2017 inception of the Company's current stock ~~unit~~ and debt repurchase program, CONSOL Energy Inc.'s Board of Directors has approved a ~~$270~~$320 million stock ~~unit~~ and debt repurchase program, which terminates on ~~June 30,~~December 31, 2022. As of May ~~11, 2020,~~4, 2021, approximately ~~$100.6~~$132 million remained available under the stock ~~unit~~ and debt repurchase program. The program does not obligate CONSOL Energy to acquire any particular amount of its common stock ~~notes~~ or ~~units,~~notes, and can be modified or suspended at any time at the Company’s discretion. See Note 18 - Stock ~~Unit~~ and Debt Repurchases in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for more information.

Limitation Upon Payment of Dividends

The Indenture and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities include certain covenants limiting the Company's ability to declare and pay dividends.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

The information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K (17 CFR 229.104) is included in Exhibit 95 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
