MANAGEMENT COMMENTS
Ronald J. Tanski, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Fuel Gas Company, stated: “Our 2017 fiscal year is off to a great start. Aside from our pipeline and storage segment, where earnings were down modestly, each of the other segments improved its financial performance over the prior year. We are particularly pleased that natural gas prices increased to levels that allowed Seneca to return wells to production. Seneca’s increased production, and the associated throughput on our gathering systems, were the main drivers that allowed us to exceed our guidance.
“We expect to keep moving forward with our plans to build our Northern Access pipeline by the middle of next fiscal year. In the meantime, our efforts will remain focused on the efficient development of our Marcellus acreage to prepare for the Northern Access capacity while continuing to evaluate our opportunities in the Utica Shale on the very same acreage. Together, these stacked formations provide plenty of running room on our acreage and will fuel our growth for an extended period."
DISCUSSION OF RESULTS BY SEGMENT
The following discussion of the earnings of each segment is summarized in a tabular form on pages 7 and 8 of this report. It may be helpful to refer to those tables while reviewing this discussion. Note that management defines Operating Results as reported GAAP earnings before items impacting comparability and Adjusted EBITDA as reported GAAP earnings before the following items: interest expense, depreciation and amortization, interest and other income, impairments, items impacting comparability, and income taxes.
Upstream Business
Exploration and Production Segment
The Exploration and Production segment operations are carried out by Seneca Resources Corporation ("Seneca"). Seneca explores for, develops and produces natural gas and oil reserves, primarily in Pennsylvania and California.

Net income in the Exploration and Production segment in the first quarter was $35.1 million or $0.41per share, compared to a net loss of $237.1 million or $2.80 per share in the prior year first quarter, an increase of $272.2 million, or $3.21 per share. Excluding the impact of last year's impairment charge, the increase in the Exploration and Production segment's first quarter earnings is mainly due to higher natural gas production and lower operating expenses, offset partially by a decrease in oil production and lower realized oil and natural gas prices after the impact of hedging. In the prior year first quarter, Seneca recorded a $435.5 million ($252.6 million after-tax) ceiling test impairment charge to reduce the value of Seneca’s oil and gas properties. There were no ceiling test impairment charges in this year’s first quarter.
The full cost method of accounting requires that Seneca perform a quarterly “ceiling test” to compare the present value of future revenues from its oil and natural gas reserves based on an unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month oil and gas prices for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period (“the ceiling”) with the book value of those reserves at the balance sheet date. If the book value of the reserves exceeds the ceiling, a non-cash impairment charge must be recorded in order to reduce the book value of the reserves to the calculated ceiling. At December 31, 2016, the ceiling exceeded the book value of the oil and gas properties by approximately $71.5 million. While possible, Seneca does not expect to incur any impairment charges in fiscal 2017 due to the improvement in oil and gas prices and lower lease operating expenses and development costs.
Seneca's first quarter net production was 44.9 billion cubic feet equivalent ("Bcfe"), an increase of 6.9 Bcfe or 18 percent versus the prior year first quarter, and 5.1 Bcfe or 13 percent versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Net natural gas production increased 7.0 Bcf or 21 percent versus the prior year due mainly to higher natural gas production in Appalachia. An improvement in local natural gas pricing in Pennsylvania allowed Seneca to produce most of its available production volumes since November
1, 2016, selling 8.6 Bcf (net) in the daily spot markets and under new seasonal firm sales agreements during the quarter. Seneca voluntarily curtailed a modest 3.5 Bcf (net) of natural gas production during the quarter, which was a decrease from the 14.6 Bcf (net) in the prior year first quarter. For the remainder of fiscal 2017, Seneca has entered into an additional 6.0 Bcf (net) of seasonal firm sales agreements that will further reduce its daily local spot market exposure.
Seneca’s crude oil production decreased 27 thousand barrels ("Mbbl") or 4 percent due mainly to the lingering impact of a disruption in steam flood operations in the North Midway Sunset field in early fiscal 2016. Field production at North Midway Sunset is expected to return to pre-disruption levels in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.
Seneca's average realized natural gas price, after the impact of hedging, for the first quarter was $2.97 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf"), a decrease of $0.19 per Mcf versus the prior year. Seneca's average realized oil price, after the impact of hedging, was $54.71 per barrel ("Bbl"), a decrease of $5.05 per Bbl. Seneca's average realized natural gas and oil prices benefited from an uplift of $0.58 per Mcf and $10.89 per Bbl, respectively, from financial hedges settled during the quarter. At the midpoint of Seneca’s fiscal 2017 production guidance range, Seneca is 82 percent and 55 percent hedged on projected natural gas and oil production, respectively, for the remainder of fiscal 2017 (see page 5 for earnings guidance update).
Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense decreased $15.0 million due to lower per unit DD&A, offset partially by the impact of higher production. Seneca’s per unit DD&A decreased by $0.51 per Mcf equivalent ("Mcfe") to $0.65 per Mcfe due to a lower depletable fixed asset balance resulting mainly from the ceiling test impairment charges recorded during the prior four quarters.
Seneca’s General & Administrative (“G&A”) expense decreased $7.0 million due to lower personnel costs and nonrecurring professional fees recorded in the prior year. In the prior year first quarter, Seneca incurred $4.7 million of professional and legal expenses relating to the joint development agreement that Seneca entered into in December 2015. Seneca’s per unit of production G&A expense for the quarter was $0.29 per Mcfe, a decrease of $0.23 per Mcfe or 44 percent from the prior year.
Lease operating and transportation expense ("LOE") increased $0.7 million due mainly to higher production, which was partially offset by lower per unit LOE expense. Per unit LOE expense decreased from $1.03 per Mcfe to $0.88 per Mcfe. The $0.15 per Mcfe improvement is largely the result of higher Appalachian natural gas production, which carries lower LOE costs relative to Seneca’s California oil production, as well as a general reduction in well repair and maintenance costs across Seneca's California and Appalachia divisions.
Midstream Businesses
Pipeline and Storage Segment
The Pipeline and Storage segment’s operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (“Supply Corporation”) and Empire Pipeline, Inc. (“Empire”). The Pipeline and Storage segment provides natural gas transportation and storage services to affiliated and non-affiliated companies through an integrated system of pipelines and underground natural gas storage fields in western New York and Pennsylvania.

| | $ | (0.02 | ) |
| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 48,014 |
| | $ | 50,741 |
| | $ | (2,727 | ) |
The Pipeline and Storage segment's first quarter earnings decreased from the prior year due primarily to higher Operation and Maintenance ("O&M") expense and lower Other Income. O&M expense increased $2.6 million due to higher personnel costs and an increase in expenses associated with the operation of the segment’s expanded compressor facilities. Other Income decreased $0.9 million as the Company recorded lower allowance for funds used during construction (“AFUDC”) following the completion of the expansion projects that were placed in-service during the prior year first quarter.
Operating revenues for the Pipeline & Storage segment were relatively flat when compared to the prior year first quarter. The increase in revenues resulting from a full quarter of revenue from Supply Corporation’s Northern Access 2015 project and Empire’s Tuscarora Lateral Project, which were placed in-service during the prior year first quarter, were more than offset by a reduction in Supply Corporation and Empire’s rates that went into effect following recent rate case settlements.
Gathering Segment
The Gathering segment’s operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas Midstream Corporation’s subsidiary limited liability companies. The Gathering segment constructs, owns and operates natural gas gathering pipelines and compression facilities in the Appalachian region which currently delivers Seneca’s gross Appalachian production to the interstate pipeline system.

| | $ | 8,643 |
|
The Gathering segment’s first quarter earnings increased $6.1 million or 123 percent versus the prior year on higher revenues. Operating revenues increased $9.1 million as the increase in Seneca’s gross Appalachian natural gas production, which includes production from joint development wells, helped drive higher volumes across the Company’s gathering systems. The Gathering segment transported 50.6 Bcf on its systems in the first quarter, up 16.8 Bcf or 50 percent from the prior year. While operating revenues were up 48 percent for the quarter, operating expenses increased only 2 percent versus the prior year.
Downstream Businesses
Utility Segment
The Utility segment operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation (“Distribution”), which sells or transports natural gas to customers located in western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania.

| | $ | 0.03 |
|
| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 52,331 |
| | $ | 45,918 |
| | $ | 6,413 |
|
The Utility segment’s earnings increased $2.6 million or 14 percent due mainly to colder weather, higher customer usage and the positive impact of routine regulatory adjustments, offset partially by higher O&M and DD&A expenses. Weather in Distribution’s Pennsylvania service territory was 17.9 percent colder on average than last year, resulting in higher retail residential and transportation customer throughput and revenues. In New York, the impact of weather variations on earnings is largely mitigated by that jurisdiction’s weather normalization clause. O&M expense increased $2.9 million versus the prior year due mainly to higher personnel costs.
Energy Marketing Segment
The Energy Marketing segment's operations are carried out by National Fuel Resources, Inc. (“NFR”). NFR markets natural gas to industrial, wholesale, commercial, public authority and residential customers primarily in western and central New York and northwestern Pennsylvania, offering competitively priced natural gas to its customers.

| | $ | 1,000 |
|
The Energy Marketing segment's first quarter earnings increased $0.6 million or 46 percent due to higher margins. NFR’s margins were positively impacted by colder weather, which increased retail customer usage.
Corporate and All Other
The Corporate and All Other category earnings of $0.5 million or $0.00 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, compares to earnings of $2.0 million or $0.03 per share in the prior year first quarter. The decrease is due to higher corporate operating expenses and higher income taxes.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release contains information regarding Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide an alternative method for assessing the Company's ongoing operating results and for comparing the Company’s financial performance to other companies. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for the same purpose, and for planning and forecasting purposes. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be a substitute for financial measures in accordance with GAAP.
Management defines Operating Results as reported GAAP earnings before items impacting comparability. The table at page 1 of this report reconciles National Fuel's reported GAAP earnings to Operating Results for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as reported GAAP earnings before the following items: interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, interest and other income, impairments, items impacting comparability and income taxes.
