CONSOL ENERGY INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

On November 28, 2017, CONSOL Energy was separated from its former parent to become an independent, publicly-traded coal company. As part of the separation, the following assets of the Company's former parent were transferred to CONSOL Energy (collectively, the “Coal Business”): (i) its interest in the Pennsylvania Mining Complex, and certain related coal assets, (ii) its ownership interest in CNX Coal Resources LP, which owns a 25% undivided interest in PAMC, (iii) the CONSOL Marine Terminal and, (iv) undeveloped coal reserves (Greenfield Reserves) located in the Northern Appalachian, Central Appalachian and Illinois basins and certain related coal assets and liabilities. Following the separation, shares of the Company's common stock began “regular-way” trading on the New York Stock Exchange on November 29, 2017 under the symbol “CEIX”.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Unaudited 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 and Article 10 of Regulation 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, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.

The Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 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 report should be read in conjunction with CONSOL Energy Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Basis of Consolidation

The Unaudited 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 August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, 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 2018-14 - 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 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amendments in this update seek to simplify accounting for non-employee share-based payments by clarifying and improving the areas of the overall measurement objective, measurement date, and awards with performance conditions. For public business entities, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. CONSOL Energy adopted this guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2019, and there was no material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 - Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this, the amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The measurement of expected credit losses will be based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount. The amendments in this Update will be applied using a modified-retrospective approach and, for public entities, are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. Management does not expect this update to have a 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 shares outstanding during the reporting period. Dilutive earnings per share are computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average shares outstanding are 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:



	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2019	2018
Anti-Dilutive Restricted Stock Units	—	—
Anti-Dilutive Performance Share Units	8,086	96,508
	8,086	96,508

The computations for basic and dilutive earnings per share are as follows:



	For the Three Months Ended
Dollars in thousands, except per share data	March 31,
	2019		2018
Numerator:
Net Income	$	20,303	$	70,958

Earnings per Share:
Basic	$	0.52	$	2.23
Dilutive	$	0.52	$	2.20

As of March 31, 2019, CONSOL Energy had 500,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which were issued or outstanding.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the report classifications of the current period, including the reclassification of restricted cash, previously included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as the reclassification of amortization of debt issuance costs and loss on debt extinguishment within the Operating Activities section of the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported total assets, net income or stockholders' equity.

NOTE 2—REVENUE:

The following table disaggregates CONSOL Energy's revenue by major source to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of the Company's revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors:



	Three Months Ended		Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2019		March 31, 2018
Coal Revenue	$	332,502	$	351,009
Terminal Revenue	17,818		15,221
Freight Revenue	6,662		17,887
Total Revenue from Contracts with Customers	$	356,982	$	384,117

CONSOL Energy's revenue is recognized when title passes to the customer. The Company has determined that each ton of coal represents a separate and distinct performance obligation. 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 standalone selling prices determined at contract inception.

Coal Revenue

Revenues are recognized at a point in time, which is generally when title passes to the customers 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 in addition to a fixed base price per ton. None of the Company’s coal contracts allow for retroactive adjustments to pricing after title to the coal has passed.

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. Also, some of the Company's contracts contain favorable electric power price related adjustments, which represent market-driven price adjustments, wherein there is no additional value being 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 immaterial to the Company's net income. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any capitalized costs to obtain customer contracts on its Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company has not recognized any amortization of previously existing capitalized costs of obtaining customer contracts. Further, the Company has not recognized any 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 basis, and performance obligations are considered fulfilled as the services are performed.

CONSOL Marine Terminal does not normally experience material costs of obtaining customer contracts with amortization periods greater than one year. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any capitalized costs to obtain customer contracts on its Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 as trade receivables and reported separately in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets from other contract assets 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 as 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.

NOTE 6—INCOME TAXES:

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was (4.4)%. This rate is 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 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the income tax benefit for excess percentage depletion. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 8.0%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the income tax benefit 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, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, 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, as well as various states, and Canada, as well as various provinces. Under the provisions of the tax matters agreement entered into between the Company and its former parent on November 28, 2017 (the “TMA”), certain subsidiaries of the Company are subject to examination for tax years for the period January 1, 2015 through the three months ended March 31, 2019 for certain state and foreign returns. Further, the Company is subject to examination for the period November 28, 2017 through the three months ended March 31, 2019 for federal and certain state returns.

NOTE 7—INVENTORIES:

Inventory components consist of the following:



	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Coal	$	8,853	$	4,642
Supplies	46,035		44,004
Total Inventories	$	54,888	$	48,646

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of coal inventories is determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Coal inventory costs include labor, supplies, equipment costs, operating overhead, depreciation, depletion, amortization and other related costs. The cost of supplies inventory is determined by the average cost method and includes operating and maintenance supplies to be used in the Company's coal operations.

NOTE 8—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 August 2018, the securitization facility was amended to, among other things, extend the term of the securitization facility for three years ending August 30, 2021.

Pursuant to the securitization facility, CONSOL Thermal Holdings LLC sells current and future trade receivables to CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC. CONSOL Marine Terminals LLC 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 (the “SPV”). 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 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 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 other customary fees to the lenders, including a fee on unused commitments equal to 0.60% per annum.

At March 31, 2019, the Company's eligible accounts receivable yielded $40,829 of borrowing capacity. At March 31, 2019, the facility had no outstanding borrowings and $47,735 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving no unused capacity. CONSOL Energy posted $6,906 of cash collateral to secure the difference in the outstanding letters of credit and the eligible accounts receivable. Cash collateral of $6,906 is included in Restricted Cash in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2018, the Company's eligible accounts receivable yielded $37,869 of borrowing capacity. At December 31, 2018, the facility had no outstanding borrowings and $52,536 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving no unused capacity. CONSOL Energy posted $14,667 of cash collateral to secure the difference in the outstanding letters of credit and the eligible accounts receivable. Cash collateral of $14,667 is included in Restricted Cash in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs associated with the receivables facility totaled $382 and $666 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These costs have been recorded as financing fees which are included in Operating and Other Costs in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company has not derecognized any receivables due to its continued involvement in the collections efforts.

NOTE 9—PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:

Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:



	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Plant and Equipment	$	2,922,041	$	2,890,970
Coal Properties and Surface Lands	858,153		858,153
Airshafts	428,387		419,100
Mine Development	342,489		342,405
Advance Mining Royalties	327,660		327,543
Total Property, Plant and Equipment	4,878,730		4,838,171
Less: Accumulated Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization	2,778,448		2,731,643
Total Property, Plant and Equipment, Net	$	2,100,282	$	2,106,528

Coal reserves are controlled either through fee ownership or by lease. The duration of the leases vary; however, the lease terms are generally extended automatically to the exhaustion of economically recoverable reserves, as long as active mining continues. Coal interests held by lease provide the same rights as fee ownership for mineral extraction and are legally considered real property interests.

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, property, plant and equipment includes gross assets under finance leases of $49,865 and $49,775, respectively. Accumulated amortization for finance leases was $19,700 and $15,973 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Amortization expense for assets under finance leases approximated $3,914 and $1,376 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is included in Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization in the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 10—LEASES:

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842 using the transition option, “Comparatives Under 840 Option,” established by ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements. As allowed under this guidance, the Company elected not to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to ASC 842. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, CONSOL Energy has taken a portfolio approach of applying its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date to calculate the present value of lease payments over the lease term. CONSOL Energy has elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the standard, which allows the Company (1) to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (2) to not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (3) to not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. CONSOL Energy has also elected the practical expedient to not evaluate land easements that existed or expired before the Company’s adoption of Topic 842 and the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components; that is, to account for lease and non-lease components in a contract as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Further, the Company made an accounting policy election to keep leases with an initial term of twelve months or less off the balance sheet. CONSOL Energy will recognize those lease payments in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income over the lease term. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, these short-term lease expenses were not material to the Company's financial statements.

Based on the Company's lease portfolio, the standard had a material impact on the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet but did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated net earnings and cash flows. The most significant impact was the recognition of Right of Use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while the accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged. The Company's bank covenants were not affected by this update. The Company recorded operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities of $92 million as of January 1, 2019, primarily related to mining equipment, based on the present value of the future lease payments on the date of adoption.

The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating or finance lease at inception of the applicable lease. For leases where the Company is the lessee, ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also consists of any prepaid lease

payments, lease incentives received, and costs which will be incurred in exiting a lease. The lease terms used to calculate the ROU asset and related lease liability include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expense while the expense for finance leases is recognized as depreciation expense and interest expense using the interest method of recognition.

The Company has operating leases for mining or other equipment used in operations and office space. Many leases include one or more options to renew, some of which include options to extend the leases, and some leases include options to terminate or buy out the leases within a set period of time. In certain of the Company’s lease agreements, the rental payments are adjusted periodically to reflect actual charges incurred for inflation and/or changes in other indexes. Many of the Company's operating lease payments for mining equipment contain a variable component which is calculated based upon production metrics such as feet of advance or raw tonnage mined. While most of the Company's leases contain clauses regarding the general condition of the equipment upon lease termination, they do not contain residual value guarantees.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the components of operating lease expense were as follows:



Fixed operating lease expense	$	6,857
Variable operating lease expense	3,052
Total operating lease expense	$	9,909

Supplemental cash flow information related to the Company's operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was as follows:

In November 2017, CONSOL Energy entered into a revolving credit facility 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, the principal amount outstanding under the TLA Facility is now $100 million and the principal amount outstanding under the TLB Facility is now $275 million. 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 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 March 28, 2023. The TLB Facility's maturity date was extended from November 28, 2022 to September 28, 2024. Obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities 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).

The Revolving Credit Facility and TLA Facility also include financial covenants, including (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 2.00 to 1.00, measured quarterly, stepping down to 1.75 to 1.00 in March 2020. 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 1.12 to 1.00 at March 31, 2019. CONSOL Energy must maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio covenant of no more than 3.00 to 1.00, measured quarterly, stepping down to 2.75 to 1.00 in March 2020. 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 1.71 to 1.00 at March 31, 2019. 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 facilities also include a minimum fixed charge coverage covenant of no less than 1.10 to 1.00, measured quarterly. The minimum fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Fixed Charges, excluding the Partnership. 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 minimum fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.79 to 1.00 at March 31, 2019.

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 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, CONSOL Energy made the required repayment of approximately $110 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, 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%.

At March 31, 2019, the Revolving Credit Facility had no borrowings outstanding and $50,744 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $349,256 of unused capacity. At December 31, 2018, the Revolving Credit Facility had no borrowings outstanding and $54,065 of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $245,935 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 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 basis as collateral securing the Company’s obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (described above), subject to certain exceptions under the Indenture.

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 million 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, $23,143 was included in Loss on Debt Extinguishment on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, CONSOL Energy made an accelerated payment of $11.25 million on its outstanding TLA Facility and purchased $10 million of its outstanding 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due in 2025. As part of these transactions, $1,426 was included in Loss on Debt Extinguishment on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 13—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, 2019. 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, 2019 is disclosed below when an amount is expressly stated in the lawsuit or claim, which is not often the case.

Fitzwater Litigation: Three 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. 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 two 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. The Company believes it has a meritorious defense and intends to vigorously defend this suit.

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.

As part of the separation and distribution, the Company assumed various financial obligations relating to the Coal Business or 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. Coal and other financial guarantees have primarily been provided to support various sales contracts. Other guarantees have been extended to support 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, 2019, 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. 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.



	Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Period
	Total Amounts Committed		Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		Beyond 5 Years

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 five 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 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, 2019, 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is believed to be approximately $26,000 and $28,000, respectively. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of these guarantees was $678 and $734, respectively, and is included in Other Accrued Liabilities on the Unaudited 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.

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—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 guarantees are the credit risk of the third party and the 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:



	Fair Value Measurements at March 31, 2019							Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2018
Description	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Lease Guarantees	$	—	$	—	$	(678	)	$	—	$	—	$	(734	)

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:



	March 31, 2019				December 31, 2018
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Long-Term Debt	$	746,027	$	789,965	$	842,899	$	881,711

Certain of the Company’s debt is actively traded on a public market and, as a result, constitutes Level 1 fair value measurements. The portion of the Company’s debt obligations that are not actively traded are valued through reference to the applicable underlying benchmark rate and, as a result, constitute Level 2 fair value measurements.

NOTE 17—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Transactions with the Company's Former Parent (2017)

Transition Services Agreements

The Company entered into a transition services agreement and certain other agreements in connection with the separation and distribution agreement with its former parent to cover certain continued corporate services provided by the Company and its former parent to each other following the completion of the separation and distribution. In connection with the separation and distribution, the Company began to set up its own corporate functions, and pursuant to the transition services agreement, its former parent provided various corporate support services, including certain accounting, human resources, information technology, office and building, risk, security, tax and treasury, building security and tax services, as well as certain regulatory compliance services required during the period in which the Company remained a majority-owned subsidiary of its former parent. The charges associated with these services were not material during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, and are consistent with expenses that the Company's former parent has historically allocated or incurred with respect to such services. The transition services agreement with the Company's former parent expired in February 2019.

Former Parent Receivables and Payables

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had a payable to its former parent of $109 and $235, respectively, recorded in Accounts Payable on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company also had a receivable from its former parent of $6,414 and $11,788, of which $6,414 and $5,500 was recorded in Other Receivables on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Additionally, $6,288 was included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018. These items relate to the reimbursement of the one-time transaction costs as well as other reimbursements per the terms of the separation and distribution agreement.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company paid its former parent $18,234 related to the final settlement of shared, spin-related fees. Per the separation and distribution agreement, these costs were split equally by the two companies. These costs consisted of consulting and professional fees associated with preparing for and executing the separation and distribution, as well as various other items.

CONSOL Coal Resources LP

CONSOL Energy, certain of its subsidiaries and the Partnership are party to an Omnibus Agreement, dated September 30, 2016, as amended on November 28, 2017 (the “Omnibus Agreement”). Under the Omnibus Agreement, CONSOL Energy provides the Partnership with certain services in exchange for payments by the Partnership for those services.

On November 28, 2017, the Company entered into an Affiliated Company Credit Agreement with the Partnership and certain 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 outstanding amounts under CCR's $400 million senior secured revolving credit facility with certain lenders and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), as administrative agent (the “Original CCR Credit Facility”), and to provide working capital for the Partnership following the separation and for other general corporate purposes. The Original CCR Credit Facility was then terminated.

On March 28, 2019, the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement was amended to extend 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, 2019 and 2018, $1,796 and $2,134 of interest expense is included in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income, respectively. 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, 2019. 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 8, 2019.

The Separation and Distribution

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. Our predecessors have been mining coal, primarily in the Appalachian Basin, since 1864.

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 and metallurgical end-users in Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa, as well as Canada.

Our operations, including the PAMC and the CONSOL Marine Terminal, have consistently generated strong cash flows. As of December 31, 2018, the PAMC controls 698.5 million tons of high-quality Pittsburgh seam reserves, enough to allow for approximately 25 years of full-capacity production. In addition, we own or control approximately 1.6 billion tons of Greenfield Reserves located in the Northern Appalachian (“NAPP”), the Central Appalachian (“CAPP”) and the Illinois Basins (“ILB”), which we believe could provide a solid growth platform in the future. 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 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 uniform, 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 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 our 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 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, 2019, CCR's assets included a 25% undivided interest in, and full operational control over, the PAMC.


•	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 one of the few terminals in the United States served by two railroads, Norfolk Southern Corporation and CSX Transportation Inc.


•	Itmann Mine: Construction of the Itmann Mine, located in Wyoming County, West Virginia, is expected to begin in late 2019 or early 2020; full production is expected in 2021 upon the completion of a new preparation plant. The Company anticipates 600+ thousand tons per year of high-quality, low-vol coking coal production.


•	Greenfield Reserves: We own approximately 1.6 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 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 operate 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. The PAMC is the most productive and efficient coal mining complex in NAPP. For the year ending December 31, 2018, productivity averaged 7.62 tons of coal per employee hour, compared with an average of 5.18 tons per employee hour for all other currently-operating NAPP longwalls. Our high productivity helps drive a 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 or as a crossover product in the high-volatile metallurgical coal market. We have a well-established and diverse blue chip customer base, comprised primarily of domestic electric-power-producing companies located in the eastern United States. For 2019 and 2020, our contracted position, as of May 8, 2019, is at >95% and 71%, respectively, assuming a 27 million ton annual coal sales volume. We believe our committed and contracted position is well-balanced in hedging against market downside risk while allowing us to continue to build out our customer portfolio strategically and opportunistically as the market evolves.

Q1 2019 Highlights:


•	PAMC employees improved their safety performance by 70% compared to the year-ago quarter. The central preparation plant and CONSOL Marine Terminal continued their strong safety performance with an incident-free quarter.


•	Net income of $20 million


•	Reduced total debt by $100 million during the quarter


•	Amended and paid down debt to lower the Company's annual expected interest expense by $15 million, improve operational and financial flexibility, extend maturities and boost liquidity

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, an operating ratio derived from non-GAAP financial measures.

Cost of coal sold, cash cost of coal sold, and average cash margin per ton normalize the volatility contained within comparable GAAP measures by adjusting certain non-operating or non-cash transactions. 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.

The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to total costs, 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, 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 a cost per ton basis. Our cost of coal sold per ton represents our costs of coal sold divided by the tons of coal we sell. 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 per ton 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 GAAP measure most directly comparable to cost of coal sold is total costs and expenses. The cash cost of coal sold includes cost of coal sold less depreciation, depletion and amortization cost on production assets. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to cash cost of coal sold is total costs and expenses.

The following table presents a reconciliation of cost of coal sold and cash cost of coal sold to total costs and expenses, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, on a historical basis for each of the periods indicated (in thousands).

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

Net Income Attributable to CONSOL Energy Inc. Shareholders

CONSOL Energy reported net income attributable to CONSOL Energy Inc. shareholders of $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to net income attributable to CONSOL Energy Inc. shareholders of $62 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

CONSOL Energy consists of the Pennsylvania Mining Complex, as well as various corporate and other business activities that are not allocated to PAMC. The other business activities include the CONSOL Marine Terminal, the Greenfield Reserves, closed and idle mine activities, selling, general and administrative activities, and income taxes, as well as various other non-operated activities.

PAMC ANALYSIS:

The PAMC division's principal activities consist of mining, preparation and marketing of thermal coal, sold primarily to power generators. The division also includes selling, general and administrative costs, as well as various other activities assigned to the PAMC division, but not included in the cost components on a per unit basis.

The PAMC division had earnings before income tax of $64 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to earnings before income tax of $98 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Variances are discussed below.

Coal Production

The table below presents total tons produced (in thousands) from the Pennsylvania Mining Complex for the periods indicated:



	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
Mine	2019	2018	Variance
Bailey	2,947	3,813	(866	)
Enlow Fork	2,830	2,017	813
Harvey	1,072	872	200
Total	6,849	6,702	147

Coal production was 6.8 million tons for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 6.7 million tons for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Coal production increased slightly, due to increased production at the Enlow Fork mine, as geological conditions improved compared to the year-ago quarter, and at the Harvey mine. This was partially offset by reduced production at the Bailey mine, resulting from a longwall move and other operational delays.

Coal Operations

The PAMC division's coal revenue and cost components on a per unit basis for these periods were as follows:



	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018		Variance
Total Tons Sold (in millions)	6.7		6.6		0.1

(1) Average cash margin per ton is an operating ratio derived from non-GAAP measures. See “How We Evaluate Our Operations - Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Coal Revenue

Coal revenue was $333 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $351 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The $18 million decrease was primarily attributable to a $3.60 lower average sales price per ton sold in the 2019 period, mainly driven by lower domestic netback pricing compared to the year-ago quarter.

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. Freight revenue is completely offset by freight expense. Freight revenue and freight expense were both $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The $11 million decrease was due to decreased shipments to customers where the Company was contractually obligated to provide transportation services.

Miscellaneous Other Income

Miscellaneous other income was $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The $4 million decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales of externally purchased coal to blend and resell.

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, employee-related expenses and depreciation, depletion, and amortization costs on production assets. Total cost of coal sold was $242 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, or $8 million higher than the $234 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Total costs per ton sold were $35.92 per ton for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $35.34 per ton for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in the total cost of coal sold was primarily driven by increased project expenses and gas well plugging activities, partially offset by reduced lease/rental expense, as two operating leases were refinanced as finance leases in the first quarter of 2018. Since the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company has seen modest inflation in the cost of supplies that contain steel and other commodities for which prices are strengthening, as well as in the cost of contract labor. The Company has been successful in managing these inflationary pressures and keeping its overall cost increase to a minimum through productivity gains and automation.

Other Costs

Other costs include items that are assigned to the PAMC division but are not included in unit costs, such as coal reserve holding costs and purchased coal costs. Total other costs decreased $6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in current quarter costs related to externally purchased coal to blend and resell and demurrage charges incurred in the year-ago quarter.

Selling, General, and Administrative Costs

At March 31, 2019, CONSOL Energy was party to a service agreement with CCR that required CONSOL Energy to provide certain selling, general and administrative services to CCR. These services are paid monthly based on an agreed-upon fixed fee that is reset at least annually. See Note 17 - Related Party Transactions of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information. An additional portion of CONSOL Energy's selling, general and administrative costs are allocated to the PAMC division, outside of the service agreement, based on a percentage of total revenue and a percentage of total projected capital expenditures. The amount of selling, general and administrative costs related to the PAMC division was $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The $10 million increase in the period-to-period comparison was primarily related to accelerated non-cash amortization recorded in the current period for retiree-eligible employees who received awards under the Company's Performance Incentive Plan, as well as an increase in expenditures related to the conversion to and implementation of a different Enterprise Resource and Planning software.

OTHER ANALYSIS:

The other division includes revenue and expenses from various corporate and diversified business activities that are not allocated to the PAMC division. The diversified business activities include coal terminal operations, closed and idle mine activities, selling, general and administrative activities, interest expense and income taxes, as well as various other non-operated activities.

Other business activities had a loss before income tax of $45 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to a loss before income tax of $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Variances are discussed below.

Terminal Revenue

Terminal revenue consists of sales from the CONSOL Marine Terminal, which is located on 200 acres in the Port of Baltimore, Maryland and provides access to international coal markets. CONSOL Marine Terminal sales were $18 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The $3 million increase in the period-to-period comparison was primarily attributable to additional revenue earned in the current period from one of the Company's customers. This customer's contractual arrangement contains a take-or-pay element, which provides a certain level of monthly throughput tons for a fixed amount.

Miscellaneous Other Income

Miscellaneous other income was $8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The $9 million decrease was primarily attributable to reduced royalty income related to non-operated coal properties as a result of a decrease in third party activity and lower coal prices during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Operating and Other Costs

Operating and other costs were $22 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Operating and other costs remained consistent in the period-to-period comparison as follows:



	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2019		2018		Variance
Terminal Operating Costs	$	6	$	5	$	1

Other	2		1		1
Total Operating and Other Costs	$	22	$	22	$	—

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased $1 million in the period-to-period comparison due to changes in the Company's asset retirement obligations.

Selling, General, and Administrative Costs

Selling, general, and administrative costs are allocated to the Company's Other division based on a percentage of total revenue and a percentage of total projected capital expenditures. The decrease of $1 million is a result of decreases in the portion of selling, general and administrative expenses allocated to the Other division due to various transactions that occurred throughout both periods, none of which were individually material.

Loss on Debt Extinguishment

Loss on debt extinguishment of $23 million was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2019 due to the open market repurchases of the 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025, the $110 million required repayment on the Term Loan B Facility, and the refinancing of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility. See Note 12 - Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information. Loss on debt extinguishment of $1 million was recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2018 due to accelerated payments made on the Term Loan A Facility and the open market repurchases of the 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, is comprised of interest on the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes and interest on the 5.75% MEDCO Revenue Bonds. Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, decreased $2 million in the period-to-period comparison, primarily related to the $110 million required repayment on the Term Loan B Facility, as well as the refinancing of the Company's Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility, both of which occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

CONSOL Energy expects its ongoing sources of liquidity to 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 issuance of additional equity or debt securities. The Company believes that cash generated from these sources will 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 Company expects to generate adequate cash flow from operations in 2019, through continued demand from the export and domestic thermal markets and consistent cost control measures. The Company started construction on the coarse refuse disposal area project in 2017, which is expected to continue through 2021. The Company's 2019 capital needs are expected to be between $155 million to $185 million, which is increased from 2018 levels due to additional expected capital expenditures related to the Itmann project, airshaft construction projects, as well as additional belt system related expenditures.

CONSOL Energy's coal is shipped to multiple geographies domestically and globally. From time to time, the Company changes its exposure to various countries depending on the economics and profitability of coal sales. Given that coal markets are global, the Company expects, if possible, to offset any potential adverse impact from tariffs that may be imposed by governments in the countries in which one or more of the Company's end users are located by reallocating its customer base to other countries or to the domestic U.S. markets.

CONSOL Energy believes its business will generate adequate cash flows and liquidity to meet reasonable increases in the cost of supplies that are passed on from suppliers. CONSOL Energy will also continue to seek alternate sources of supplies and replacement materials to offset any unexpected increase in the cost of supplies.

Uncertainty in the financial markets brings additional potential risks to CONSOL Energy. These risks include 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. CONSOL Energy believes that its current group of customers represents no abnormal business risk.

The Company owns an undivided interest in 75% of the PAMC and the Partnership owns the remaining undivided 25% interest of the PAMC. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had a 61.4% economic ownership interest in the Partnership through its various holdings of the general partner and limited partnership interests of the Partnership.

Cash Used in Investing Activities	$	(34	)	$	(22	)	$	(12	)
Cash Used in Financing Activities	$	(136	)	$	(56	)	$	(80	)

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $34 million in the period-to-period comparison, primarily due to a $51 million decrease in net income, offset by changes in stock/unit-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishment, deferred taxes and other working capital changes that occurred throughout both periods.

Cash used in investing activities increased $12 million in the period-to-period comparison. Capital expenditures increased primarily due to an increase in airshaft construction projects, additional belt system related expenditures, and expenditures related to the conversion to and implementation of a new Enterprise Resource and Planning software.

Cash used in financing activities increased $80 million in the period-to-period comparison. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, total payments of $129 million were made on the Company's Term Loan B Facility and 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes, which included the required excess cash flow repayment of $110 million on the Term Loan B Facility (see Note 12 - Long-Term Debt for additional information). The Company also received additional proceeds on its Term Loan A Facility in the amount of $26 million as a result of the debt refinancing that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019, which also included financing-related fees and charges of approximately $19 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, total payments of $26 million were made on the Company's Term Loan A Facility, Term Loan B Facility and 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes. Also during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company paid its former parent $18 million related to the final settlement of shared, spin-related fees.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

In November 2017, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility 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, the principal amount outstanding under the TLA Facility is now $100 million and the principal amount outstanding under the TLB Facility is now $275 million. 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 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 March 28, 2023. The TLB Facility's maturity date was extended from November 28, 2022 to September 28, 2024. Beginning in June 2019, the TLA Facility will be amortized in equal quarterly installments of (i) 3.75% of the original principal amount thereof, for the first four quarterly installments, (ii) 6.25% of the original principal amount thereof for the subsequent eight quarterly installments and (iii) 8.75% of the original principal amount thereof for the quarterly installments thereafter, with the remaining balance due at final maturity. Beginning in

June 2019, the TLB Facility will be amortized in equal quarterly installments in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the amended principal amount thereof, with the remaining balance due at final maturity.

Obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities 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). 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 lien on (i) the Company’s 75% undivided economic interest in the Pennsylvania Mining Complex, (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 1.6 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 the covenants relating to finance leases, general investments, joint venture investments and annual share repurchase baskets. The amendment also amended the restricted payments covenant to permit up to a $50 million annual dividend.

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, 2019, the Revolving Credit Facility had no borrowings outstanding and $51 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving $349 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.

Securitization Facility

On November 30, 2017, (1)(i) CONSOL Marine Terminals LLC, as an originator of receivables, (ii) CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC (“CONSOL Pennsylvania”), as an originator of receivables and as initial servicer of the receivables for itself and the other originators (collectively, the “Originators”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of CONSOL Energy, and (iii) CONSOL Funding LLC (the “SPV”), a Delaware special purpose entity and wholly owned subsidiary of CONSOL Energy, as buyer, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”) and (2)(i) CONSOL Thermal Holdings LLC, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, as sub-originator (the “Sub-Originator”), and (ii) CONSOL Pennsylvania, as buyer and as initial servicer of the receivables for itself and the Sub-Originator, entered into a Sub-Originator Sale Agreement (the “Sub-Originator PSA”). In addition, on that date, 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 August 2018, the securitization facility was amended to, among other things, extend the term of the securitization facility for three years ending August 30, 2021.

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.

At March 31, 2019, eligible accounts receivable totaled approximately $41 million. At March 31, 2019, the facility had no outstanding borrowings and $48 million of letters of credit outstanding, leaving no unused capacity. The Company posted $7 million of cash collateral to secure the difference in the outstanding letters of credit and the eligible accounts receivable. Cash collateral of $7 million is included in Restricted Cash in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. Costs associated with the receivables facility totaled $382 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019. These costs have been recorded as financing fees which are included in Operating and Other Costs in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company has not derecognized any receivables due to its continued involvement in the collections efforts.

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%
	2022	102.75%
	2023 and thereafter	100.00%

Prior to November 15, 2020, the Company may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes with an amount of cash not greater than the amount of the net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 111.00% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of redemption, as long as at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes originally issued on the issue date (excluding Second Lien Notes held by the Company and its subsidiaries) remains outstanding after each such redemption and the redemption occurs within less than 180 days after the date of the closing of the equity offering.

At any time or from time to time prior to November 15, 2021, the Company may also redeem all or a part of the Second Lien Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium, as defined in the Indenture, 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).

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 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 of 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 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, 2019. 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).

Contractual Obligations

CONSOL Energy is required to make future payments under various contracts. CONSOL Energy also has commitments to fund its pension plans, provide payments for other postretirement benefit plans, and fund capital projects. The following is a summary of the Company's significant contractual obligations at March 31, 2019 (in thousands):



	Payments due by Year
	Less Than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More Than 5 Years		Total

_________________________


(a)	Employee related long-term liabilities include other post-employment benefits and work-related injuries and illnesses. Estimated salaried retirement contributions required to meet minimum funding standards under ERISA are excluded from the pay-out table due to the uncertainty regarding amounts to be contributed. CONSOL Energy does not expect to contribute to the pension plan in 2019.


(b)	Other long-term liabilities include mine reclamation and closure and other long-term liability costs.


(c)	The significant obligations table does not include obligations to taxing authorities due to the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate settlement of amounts and timing of these obligations.

Debt

At March 31, 2019, CONSOL Energy had total long-term debt and finance lease obligations of $784 million outstanding, including the current portion of long-term debt of $35 million. This long-term debt consisted of:


•	An aggregate principal amount of $275 million in connection with the Term Loan B (TLB) Facility, due in September 2024, less $1 million of unamortized bond discount. Borrowings under the TLB Facility bear interest at a floating rate.


•	An aggregate principal amount of $267 million of 11.00% senior secured second lien notes due in November 2025. Interest on the notes is payable May 15 and November 15 of each year.


•	An aggregate principal amount of $100 million in connection with the Term Loan A (TLA) Facility, due in March 2023. Borrowings under the TLA Facility bear interest at a floating rate.


•	An aggregate principal amount of $103 million of industrial revenue bonds which were issued to finance the Baltimore port facility and bear interest at 5.75% per annum and mature in September 2025. Interest on the industrial revenue bonds is payable March 1 and September 1 of each year. Payment of the principal and interest on the notes is guaranteed by CONSOL Energy.


•	Advance royalty commitments of $2 million with an average interest rate of 8.57% per annum.


•	An aggregate principal amount of $38 million of finance leases with a weighted average interest rate of 5.38% per annum.

At March 31, 2019, CONSOL Energy had no borrowings outstanding and approximately $51 million of letters of credit outstanding under the $400 million senior secured revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2019, CONSOL Energy had no borrowings outstanding and approximately $48 million of letters of credit outstanding under the $100 million securitization facility.

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 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 common units in the open market.

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 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, 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, 2019, the Company repurchased approximately $7 million of its 11.00% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2025. No common shares were repurchased and no common Partnership units were purchased under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Total Equity and Dividends

Total equity attributable to CONSOL Energy was $572 million at March 31, 2019 and $552 million at December 31, 2018. See the Unaudited 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. The total net leverage ratio was 1.71 to 1.00 and the cumulative credit was approximately $92 million at March 31, 2019. 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 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 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.

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 Unaudited 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 Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2019. The various multi-employer benefit plans are discussed in Note 16—Other Employee Benefit Plans in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the December 31, 2018 Form 10-K. CONSOL Energy's total contributions under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 were $1,551 and $1,722 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Based on available information at December 31, 2018, CONSOL Energy's obligation for the UMWA Combined Benefit Fund and 1992 Benefit Plans is estimated to be approximately $70,859. 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 Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2019. Management believes these items will expire without being funded. See Note 13—Commitments and Contingent Liabilities in the Notes to the Unaudited 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.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. 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. The forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future production, revenues, income and capital spending. When we use the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” or their negatives, or other similar expressions, the statements which include those words are usually forward-looking statements. When we describe strategy that involves risks or uncertainties, we are making forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; we disclaim any obligation to update these statements unless required by securities law, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.

•	the impact of potential, as well as any adopted, regulations to address climate change, including any relating to greenhouse gas emissions on our operating costs as well as on the market for coal;


•	the effects of litigation seeking to hold energy companies accountable for the effects of climate change;

•

the risks inherent in coal operations, including our reliance upon third party contractors, being subject to unexpected disruptions, including geological conditions, equipment failure, delays in moving out longwall equipment, railroad derailments, security breaches or terroristic acts and other hazards, timing of completion of significant construction or repair of equipment, fires, explosions, seismic activities, accidents and weather conditions which could impact financial results;


•	decreases in the availability of, or increases in, the price of commodities or capital equipment used in our coal mining operations;

•	operating in a single geographic area;


•	the effects of coordinating our operations with oil and natural gas drillers and distributors operating on our land;


•	certain provisions in our multi-year coal sales contracts may provide limited protection during adverse economic conditions, and may result in economic penalties or permit the customer to terminate the contract;


•	the majority of our common units in the Partnership are subordinated, and we may not receive distributions from the Partnership;


•	the potential failure to retain and attract skilled personnel of the Company;


•	unfavorable terms in our separation from our former parent, related agreements and other transactions and the Company’s agreement to provide certain indemnification to our former parent following the separation;

•	adverse effect of cybersecurity threats;


•	recent action and the possibility of future action on trade made by U.S. and foreign governments;

•	uncertainty regarding the timing of any dividends we may declare;


•	uncertainty as to whether we will repurchase shares of our common stock or outstanding debt securities;


•	restrictions on the ability to acquire us in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law and the resulting effects on the trading price of our common stock;


•	inability of stockholders to bring legal action against us in any forum other than the state courts of Delaware; and


•	other unforeseen factors.

The above list of factors is not exhaustive or necessarily in order of importance. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include those discussed under “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this report. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. There have been no material changes to the Company's exposures to market risk since December 31, 2018.

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, 2019 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.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, there was no change 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 is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company completed the implementation of an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system and certain processes, and revised and updated the related controls. These changes did not materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting. As the Company implements the remaining functionality under this ERP system over the next year, it will continue to assess the impact on its internal control 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.
