Pat Kane - Chief Investor Relations Officer (412) 553-7833

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that a company anticipates as of a given

date to be economically and legally producible and deliverable by application of development projects to known accumulations. We use certain terms in this presentation, such as “EUR” (estimated ultimate

recovery) and total resource potential, that the SEC’s rules strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. We caution you that the SEC views such estimates as inherently unreliable and these

estimates may be misleading to investors unless the investor is an expert in the natural gas industry. We also note that the SEC strictly prohibits us from aggregating proved, probable and possible (3P)

reserves on filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category.

Disclosures in this presentation contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of

1933, as amended. Statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts are forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this

presentation specifically include the expectations of plans, strategies, objectives and growth and anticipated financial and operational performance of EQT Corporation and its subsidiaries (EQT), including

guidance regarding EQT’s strategy to develop its reserves; drilling plans and programs (including the number, type, depth, lateral lengths, and locations of wells to be drilled, number of frac crews and number

and type of rigs); projected natural gas prices, liquids price impact, basis, premium and average differential; total resource potential, reserves and EUR; projected EQT and third party production sales

volumes and growth rates (including liquids sales volumes and growth rates); internal rate of return (IRR), compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and expected after-tax returns per well; technology (including

drilling and completion techniques); projected drilling and completions (D&C) costs, other well costs, G&A expenses, expense reductions and unit costs; projected frac stage lengths, proppant per foot and

water per foot; projected market mix; projected gathering and transmission volume, and growth rates; EQT’s access to, and timing of, capacity on pipelines; infrastructure programs (including the timing, cost

and capacity of expected gathering and transmission expansion projects); the cost, timing of regulatory approvals, and anticipated in-service date of the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) project; the ultimate

terms, partners, and structure of the MVP joint venture; acquisition transactions; EQT’s ability to achieve the anticipated synergies from its acquisition of Rice Energy Inc. (Rice); monetization transactions,

including asset sales, joint ventures or other transactions involving EQT’s assets, including the terms and timing of the anticipated sale of EQT’s retained Ohio gathering assets to EQT Midstream Partners,

LP (EQM); dividend and distribution amounts and rates, projected return of capital; the projected cash flows resulting from EQT’s limited partner interests in EQT GP Holdings, LP (EQGP) and limited partner

interests and incentive distribution rights in Rice Midstream Partners LP (RMP) and related growth rates; projected cash flows, including the ability to fund the 2018 drilling program through cash from

operations; projected adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT and adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT Production; projected capital contributions and capital expenditures; liquidity and

financing requirements, including funding sources and availability; changes in credit ratings; potential future impairments of EQT’s assets; hedging strategy; the effects of government regulation and litigation;

and tax position. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Accordingly, investors should not place undue

reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. EQT has based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and assumptions about future events. While EQT considers

these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to

predict and beyond EQT’s control. The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance and results of EQT’s business and forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those

set forth under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of EQT’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC and as updated by any subsequent Form 10-Qs. Any forward-looking statement

speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made and EQT does not intend to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Information in this presentation regarding EQGP and its subsidiaries, including EQM, and RMP and its subsidiaries, is derived from publicly available information published by EQGP, EQM and RMP, as

applicable.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT and adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT Production are non-GAAP supplemental

financial measures that are presented as indicators of an oil and gas exploration and production company’s ability to internally fund exploration and

development activities and to service or incur additional debt. EQT includes this information because management believes that changes in operating

assets and liabilities relate to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements and therefore may not relate to the period in which the operating activities

occurred. Adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT is EQT’s net cash provided by operating activities, less changes in other assets and

liabilities, adjusted to exclude EQM and RMP adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP supplemental financial measures described below), plus EQM and RMP

interest expense plus the EQGP and RMP cash distributions payable to EQT. Management believes that removing the impact on operating cash flows

of the public unitholders of EQM, EQGP and RMP that is otherwise required to be consolidated in EQT’s results provides useful information to an EQT

investor. As used in this news release, adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT Production means the EQT Production segment’s total

operating revenues less the EQT Production segment’s cash operating expense, less gains (losses) on derivatives not designated as hedges, plus net

cash settlements received (paid) on derivatives not designated as hedges, plus premiums received (paid) for derivatives that settled during the period,

plus EQT Production asset impairments (if applicable). Adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT and adjusted operating cash flow attributable

to EQT Production should not be considered as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities presented in accordance with GAAP.

EQT has not provided projected net cash provided by operating activities or a reconciliation of projected adjusted operating cash flow attributable to

EQT or projected adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT Production to projected net cash provided by operating activities, the most

comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. EQT is unable to project net cash provided by operating activities because this

metric includes the impact of changes in operating assets and liabilities related to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements that may not relate to

the period in which the operating activities occurred. EQT is unable to project these timing differences with any reasonable degree of accuracy without

unreasonable efforts such as predicting the timing of its and customers’ payments, with accuracy to a specific day, three or more months in advance.

Furthermore, EQT does not provide guidance with respect to its average realized price or income taxes, among other items, that are reconciling items

between net cash provided by operating activities and adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT and adjusted operating cash flow attributable to

EQT Production, as applicable. Natural gas prices are volatile and out of EQT’s control, and the timing of transactions and the income tax effects of

future transactions and other items are difficult to accurately predict. Therefore, EQT is unable to provide projected net cash provided by operating

activities, or the related reconciliation of projected adjusted operating cash flow attributable to EQT and projected operating cash flow attributable to

EQT Production to projected net cash provided by operating activities, without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EQT Midstream Partners adjusted EBITDA means EQM’s net income plus EQM’s net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense,

income tax expense (if applicable), preferred interest payments received post-conversion, and non-cash long-term compensation expense less

EQM’s equity income, AFUDC-equity, pre-acquisition capital lease payments for Allegheny Valley Connector, LLC (AVC), and adjusted EBITDA of

assets prior to acquisition. EQT Midstream Partners adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and

external users of EQT’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, use to assess the

effects of the noncontrolling interests in relation to:

EQT's operating performance as compared to other companies in its industry;

the ability of EQT's assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to its investors;

EQT's ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and

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

EQT believes that EQT Midstream Partners adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing EQT's financial condition and

results of operations. EQT Midstream Partners adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to EQM’s net income, operating

income, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EQT Midstream Partners adjusted

EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect EQM's net income. Additionally,

because EQT Midstream Partners adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in EQT's or EQM's industries, the definition of

EQT Midstream Partners adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing the utility

of the measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Rice Midstream Partners (RMP) adjusted EBITDA means RMP’s net income (loss) plus RMP’s net interest expense, depreciation expense,

amortization of intangible assets, non-cash equity compensation expense, amortization of deferred financing costs and other nonrecurring items.

RMP adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and external users of EQT’s consolidated financial

statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, use to assess the effects of the noncontrolling interests in relation

to:

EQT's operating performance as compared to other companies in its industry;

the ability of EQT's assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to its investors;

EQT's ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and

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

EQT believes that RMP adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing EQT's financial condition and results of operations.

RMP adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to RMP’s net income, operating income, or any other measure of financial

performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. RMP adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it

excludes some, but not all, items that affect RMP's net income. Additionally, because RMP adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other

companies in EQT's or RMP's industries, the definition of RMP adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other

companies, thereby diminishing the utility of the measure.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

As used in this presentation, Ohio retained midstream earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) means the earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation of EQT’s Ohio retained midstream assets. EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and external users of EQT’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, use to assess the potential contribution of the Ohio retained midstream assets to EQT’s future operating performance and cash flows.

EQT believes that the projected EBITDA of the Ohio retained midstream assets provides useful information to investors in assessing the present and future impact of the assets on EQT's financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, operating income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income. Additionally, because EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in EQT's industry, the definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing the utility of the measure.

EQT has not provided projected net income from the Ohio retained midstream assets, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, or a reconciliation of projected EBITDA to projected net income of the assets. The Ohio retained midstream assets are operated as part of the EQT Production business segment, and EQT does not allocate certain costs, such as interest and tax expenses, to individual assets within its business segments. Further, EQT has not completed its valuation of the assets it acquired in connection with the Rice acquisition, including theOhio retained midstream assets, and is therefore unable to calculate projected depreciation expense for the assets. Therefore, the projected net income of the Ohio retained midstream assets and a reconciliation of projected EBITDA of the assets to projected net income from those assets are not available without unreasonable effort.
