EQT Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
The pro forma financial statements have been prepared to reflect the effects of the Acquisition on the consolidated financial statements of EQT. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet (the “pro forma balance sheet”) is presented as if the Acquisition and the Notes Offering, including the application of the net proceeds therefrom, had occurred on March 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations (the “pro forma statements of operations”) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 are presented as if the Acquisition and the Notes Offering, including the application of the net proceeds therefrom, had occurred on January 1, 2020. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to reflect factually supportable items that are directly attributable to the Acquisition.
The pro forma financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting using the accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, with EQT treated as the acquirer. The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measure. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary, have been made solely for the purpose of providing pro forma financial information and are subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value as of the closing date of the Acquisition. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final allocation of the consideration to be paid to Alta Resources for the Acquisition (the “Purchase Price”) may have a material impact on the accompanying pro forma financial statements.
Alta Resources’ historical amounts have been derived from Alta Resources' audited and unaudited financial statements included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by EQT on July 22, 2021. As Alta Resources prepares its annual financial statements on a fiscal year basis, the amounts reflected in the pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 for Alta Resources have been adjusted to a calendar year end to conform with EQT’s financial presentation. Certain of Alta Resources’ historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the financial presentation of EQT. The pro forma financial statements are provided for informational purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of EQT would have been had the Acquisition occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
| 2. | Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions |
The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions that EQT believes are reasonable. The actual effects of the Acquisition and the Notes Offering will differ from the pro forma adjustments. A general description of the pro forma adjustments are provided below.
| (a) | These adjustments reflect the estimated value of net consideration to be paid by the Company in the Acquisition and the adjustment of the historical book values of Alta Resources’ assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2021 to their estimated fair values. The following table represents the preliminary Purchase Price allocation to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from Alta Resources. This preliminary Purchase Price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma balance sheet and the pro forma statements of operations. The final Purchase Price allocation will be determined when EQT has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations subsequent to closing the Acquisition. The final Purchase Price allocation will differ from these estimates and could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments. |
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, consideration for the Acquisition will consist of (i) $1.0 billion in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), a portion of which will be utilized to extinguish Alta Marcellus’ indebtedness consisting of balances outstanding under its revolving credit facility and the 7.75% Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes due 2024 (the “Second Lien Notes”) (as further described in (b) below) and (ii) a number of shares of common stock, no par value, of EQT (“Common Stock”) to be determined by dividing $1,925 million of base consideration, plus or minus certain Purchase Price adjustments (as described in the Purchase Agreement), by the volume-weighted average per share price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the 30-day trading period prior to the execution date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Consideration”). As of March 31, 2021, the calculation would result in the issuance of approximately 97,750,995 shares of Common Stock valued at $1,816 million (based on the closing price of the Common Stock as of March 31, 2021 of $18.58 and after giving effect to approximately $132.2 million of certain Purchase Price adjustments which would reduce the Purchase Price).
The preliminary Purchase Price allocation is subject to change as a result of several factors, including, but not limited to:
| ◾ | changes in the market value of the shares of Common Stock issued as the Stock Consideration, with the number of such shares being calculated based on the volume-weighted average per share price of the Common Stock for the 30-day trading period prior to the execution date of the Purchase Agreement; |
| ◾ | changes in the Purchase Price adjustments set forth in the Purchase Agreement increasing or decreasing the $1,925 million of Stock Consideration; and |
| ◾ | changes in the estimated fair value of the Alta Resources’ assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the Acquisition, which could result from changes in future commodity prices, reserve estimates, cost assumptions, interest rates and other facts and circumstances existing as of the closing date of the Acquisition compared to the pro forma financial statements included herein. |

The final value of the Purchase Price to be paid by the Company will be determined based on the actual number of shares of Common Stock issued and the market price of the Common Stock at the closing date of the of the Acquisition. A 10% increase or decrease in the closing price of the Common Stock, as compared to the March 31, 2021 closing price of $18.58, would increase or decrease the total Purchase Price by approximately $181.6 million, assuming all other factors are held constant. The estimated fair value of property, plant and equipment to be acquired based on information available as of the preparation of the pro forma financial statements included the following:
| | Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation | |
| | (Thousands) | |
Natural gas and oil proved properties | | $ | 2,184,114 | |
Natural gas and oil unproved properties | | | 433,432 | |
Other property, plant and equipment | | | 255,026 | |
Pro forma fair value of property, plant and equipment | | $ | 2,872,572 | |
The pro forma fair value of natural gas properties was measured using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows into a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation of natural gas and oil properties include estimates of: (i) recoverable reserves; (ii) production rates; (iii) future operating and development costs; (iv) future commodity prices; and (v) a market-based weighted average cost of capital. NYMEX strip pricing as of March 31, 2021 was utilized in determining the pro forma fair value of reserves at a discount rate of 9.5%, after adjustment for expenses and basis differential. An increase or decrease in commodity prices, recoverable reserves, future operating or development costs or any of the other inputs noted above, as of the closing date, will result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the fair value of natural gas properties.

| (b) | Pro forma adjustments related to the planned extinguishment of the Second Lien Notes and credit facility of Alta Marcellus (the “Alta Resources Debt”) at or near the closing date, and the elimination of the associated interest rate swaps, including: |
| | |
| i. | A decrease in cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments of $12.2 million reflecting the settlement of the interest rate hedges in a net liability position ahead of closing the Acquisition. |
| | |
| ii. | A decrease in credit facility borrowings of $435.0 million and Second Lien Notes of $85.9 million reflecting the carrying value of the Alta Resources Debt. |
| | |
| iii. | A decrease in other current liabilities of $0.9 million for the settlement of accrued interest. |
| | |
| iv. | A decrease in dividend and other income of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to the elimination of the gain on the interest rate hedges. |
| | |
| v. | A decrease in interest expense of $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflecting the elimination of Alta Resources’ historical interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees. |
| | |
| vi. | An increase in dividend and other income of $11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 due to the elimination of the loss on the interest rate hedges. |
| | |
| vii. | A decrease in interest expense of $30.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 consisting of the elimination of Alta Resources’ historical interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees. |
| | |
| (c) | The following pro forma adjustments eliminate historical transactions between Alta Resources and the Company that would be treated as intercompany transactions on a consolidated basis. |
| | |
| i. | Elimination of $2.6 million of receivables and corresponding payables for gas sales and transmission transactions on the pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2021. |
| | |
| ii. | Elimination of $9.6 million in derivative liabilities and $8.9 million in derivative assets related to the elimination of open gas purchase and sale positions that are accounted for as derivative instruments by EQT. |
| | |
| iii. | These historical transactions did not have a material impact on the pro forma statements of operations and thus no pro forma adjustments were included on the pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020. |
| | |
| (d) | Pro forma reclassifications made to conform to EQT’s presentation, including: |
| | �� |
| i. | the reclassification of derivative assets and liabilities from long-term to current; and |
| | |
| ii. | to remove certain net marketing services amounts from revenue and expense for net presentation. |
| | |
| (e) | Pro forma adjustments to capitalize the right-of-use assets and related current and non-current lease liabilities for assumed lease obligations pursuant to ASC 842, which had not yet been adopted by Alta Resources as of March 31, 2021 in accordance with applicable private company accounting standards. |
| | |
| (f) | Pro forma adjustment for estimated transaction costs of $23.1 million related to the Acquisition, including underwriting, banking, legal and accounting fees that are not capitalized as part of the Acquisition. |
| | |
| (g) | Pro forma adjustments to reflect delay rental lease payments and other exploratory costs capitalized by Alta Resources under the full cost method of accounting that would have been expensed to exploration expense under the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas properties. |
| | |

Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
| (h) | Pro forma adjustments to eliminate Alta Resources’ historical impairment charges recorded under the ceiling test of the full cost method of accounting to conform to EQT’s successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas properties. |
| | |
| (i) | Pro forma adjustment to show the elimination of the Alta Resources equity on the pro forma balance sheet and other equity impacts from the estimated transaction costs, the adjustment of historical transactions between Alta and the Company and adjustments related to deferred income taxes. |
| | |
| (j) | Pro forma adjustment to increase depreciation and depletion expense due to the following: |
| | |
| i. | the increase in the estimated fair value of property, plant and equipment; |
| | |
| ii. | the depreciation of gathering pipelines over a 50-year useful life and the depreciation of compression and measurement assets over a 25-year useful life separate from the upstream oil and gas assets; and |
| | |
| iii. | the increase in accretion expense related to the higher asset retirement obligation liability which was adjusted to reflect EQT’s internal plugging cost estimates, discount rate and useful life estimates. |
| | |
| (k) | The pro forma income tax adjustments included in the pro forma statements of operations and pro forma balance sheet reflect the income tax effects of Alta Resources’ historical information as well as the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments presented herein. The pro forma income tax adjustments related to Alta Resources’ historical information are to conform Alta Resources’ historical information, which is derived based on a non-taxable corporate structure, with EQT’s taxable corporate structure. The tax rate applied to the pro forma adjustments was the statutory federal and apportioned statutory state tax rate, net of the federal benefit of state taxes, applied to pre-tax income. The pro forma statements of operations also reflect the following non-recurring adjustments to arrive at a net deferred tax liability balance of $1,350.2 million for the pro forma balance sheet: |
| | |
| i. | income tax expense of $20 million due to a remeasurement of deferred income taxes to reflect the combined state apportionment rates; and |
| | |
| ii. | income tax benefit of $22 million due to a reduction of the Company’s deferred tax valuation allowance. Since Alta will be included in the Company’s consolidated tax return following the Acquisition, it has determined that the resulting reversal of taxable temporary differences related to the Acquisition allows the Company to realize a portion of its state deferred tax assets that were previously valued. |
| | |
| (l) | The following pro forma adjustments reflect the impact of the Notes Offering, the proceeds of which will be used to fund a portion of the Cash Consideration: |
| | |
| i. | An increase in cash and cash equivalents and senior notes of $984.4 million reflecting the issuance of $1.0 billion aggregate principal of the notes, net of $15.6 million of issuance costs and debt discounts. |
| | |
| ii. | An increase in interest expense of $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $36.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 relating to the expected issuance of the notes. A one percent change in the assumed interest rate of the notes would increase or decrease the interest expense by $2.5 million and $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. |
| | |
The pro forma financial statements do not reflect any compensation-related adjustments as certain personnel matters are evolving and any recurring impact from compensation adjustments would not be factually supportable.

| 3. | Supplemental Pro Forma Natural Gas, NGLs and Crude Oil Reserves Information |
The following tables present the estimated pro forma combined net proved developed and undeveloped, natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and crude oil reserves as of December 31, 2020, along with a summary of changes in quantities of net remaining proved reserves during the year ended December 31, 2020. The pro forma reserve information set forth below gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2020.
The following estimated pro forma reserve information is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the Acquisition taken place on January 1, 2020 and is not intended to be a projection of future results. Future results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors.
For all tables presented, NGLs and crude oil were converted at a rate of one million barrels (“MMbbl”) to approximately six billion cubic feet (“Bcf”).
