Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company follows the authoritative guidance for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities in its financial statements. For further information regarding the fair value hierarchy, refer to Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K. Financial Assets and Liabilities The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: (In millions) Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Balance at Assets Deferred compensation plan $ 16 $ — $ — $ 16 Derivative instruments — — 25 25 $ 16 $ — $ 25 $ 41 Liabilities Deferred compensation plan $ 16 $ — $ — $ 16 Derivative instruments — — 11 11 $ 16 $ — $ 11 $ 27 (In millions) Quoted Prices in Significant Other Significant Balance at Assets Deferred compensation plan $ 33 $ — $ — $ 33 Derivative instruments — — 93 93 $ 33 $ — $ 93 $ 126 Liabilities Deferred compensation plan $ 33 $ — $ — $ 33 Derivative instruments — — 1 1 $ 33 $ — $ 1 $ 34 The Company’s investments associated with its deferred compensation plans consist of mutual funds that are publicly traded and for which market prices are readily available. The derivative instruments were measured based on quotes from the Company’s counterparties. Such quotes have been derived using an income approach that considers various inputs, including current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, quoted forward commodity prices, basis differentials, volatility factors and interest rates for a similar length of time as the derivative contract term as applicable. Estimates are derived from, or verified using, relevant NYMEX futures contracts, are compared to multiple quotes obtained from counterparties and third-party valuation services, or a combination of the foregoing. The determination of the fair values presented above also incorporates a credit adjustment for non-performance risk. The Company measured the non-performance risk of its counterparties by reviewing credit default swap spreads for the various financial institutions with which it has derivative contracts while non-performance risk of the Company is evaluated using credit default swap spreads for various similarly rated companies in the same sector as the Company. The Company has not incurred any losses related to non-performance risk of its counterparties and does not anticipate any material impact on its financial results due to non-performance by third parties. The most significant unobservable inputs relative to the Company’s Level 3 derivative contracts are basis differentials and volatility factors. An increase (decrease) in these unobservable inputs would result in an increase (decrease) in fair value, respectively. The Company does not have access to the specific assumptions used in its counterparties’ or third-party valuation service provider’s valuation models. Consequently, additional disclosures regarding significant Level 3 unobservable inputs were not provided. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy: Six Months Ended (In millions) 2024 2023 Balance at beginning of period $ 92 $ 146 Total gain (loss) included in earnings (16) 126 Settlement (gain) loss (62) (184) Transfers in and/or out of Level 3 — — Balance at end of period $ 14 $ 88 Change in unrealized gains (losses) relating to assets and liabilities still held at the end of the period $ (26) $ 42 Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities The Company discloses or recognizes its non-financial assets and liabilities, such as impairments of oil and gas properties or acquisitions, at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As none of the Company’s other non-financial assets and liabilities were measured at fair value as of June 30, 2024, additional disclosures were not required. The estimated fair value of the Company’s asset retirement obligations at inception is determined by utilizing the income approach by applying a credit-adjusted risk-free rate, which considers the Company’s credit risk, the time value of money, and the current economic state to the undiscounted expected abandonment cash flows. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the measurement of the asset retirement obligations was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of other financial instruments is the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged currently between willing parties. The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for short-term investments approximate fair value, due to market yields being unchanged from stated yields. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, and the remaining financial instruments are classified as Level 2.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Contractual Obligations The Company has various contractual obligations in the normal course of its operations. There have been no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations described under “Gathering, Processing and Transportation Agreements” and “Lease Commitments” as disclosed in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Form 10-K. Legal Matters Securities Litigation In October 2020, a class action lawsuit styled Delaware County Emp. Ret. Sys. v. Cabot Oil and Gas Corp., et. al. (U.S. District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania), was filed against the Company, Dan O. Dinges, its then-Chief Executive Officer, and Scott C. Schroeder, its then-Chief Financial Officer, alleging that the Company made misleading statements in its periodic filings with the SEC in violation of Section 10(b) and Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The suit was subsequently transferred to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and the plaintiffs amended the complaint to add claims against Phillip L. Stalnaker, the Company’s then-Senior Vice President of Operations. The claims against Mr. Stalnaker, however, were later dismissed. The current amended complaint was filed on January 9, 2024 and alleges that the Company and the individual defendants made material misstatements and omissions regarding the Company’s 2019 production growth guidance and the status of certain environmental matters in Pennsylvania, including alleged violations of the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law and the remediation status of certain gas wells. The plaintiffs allege claims under Section 10(b) and Section 20 of the Exchange Act and seek monetary damages, interest, and attorney’s fees. The court has certified a class consisting of persons and entities who purchased the Company’s common stock between February 22, 2016, and June 12, 2020, inclusive. On April 29, 2024, the Company and plaintiffs reached a settlement in principle, with most of the settlement amount to be paid by the Company’s insurance carriers. The formal settlement agreement was filed with the court on June 3, 2024. On June 27, 2024, the court granted preliminary approval of the settlement and scheduled a final approval hearing for October 24, 2024. This settlement agreement remains subject to final approval by the court. Also in October 2020, a stockholder derivative action styled Ezell v. Dinges, et. al. (U.S. District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania) was filed against Messrs. Dinges and Schroeder and the Board of Directors of the Company serving at that time. Several additional derivative complaints were also filed and have been consolidated with the Ezell suit, which was later transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The most recent consolidated amended derivative complaint asserted claims for alleged securities violations under Section 10(b) and Section 21D of the Exchange Act arising from some of the same alleged misleading statements that form the basis of the class action lawsuit described above, as well as claims based on alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and statutory contribution theories. On January 2, 2024, the court issued an order and final judgment granting the Company’s and defendants’ motion to dismiss and dismissing the consolidated derivative case in its entirety with prejudice. The derivative plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal regarding the final judgment on February 1, 2024. The Company intends to vigorously defend any further proceedings in the derivative lawsuit. On March 21, 2024, one of the plaintiffs in the above consolidated derivative action served a demand letter on the Company’s current Board of Directors. The letter demanded that the Board of Directors pursue legal claims against various current and former officers and directors of the Company based on similar factual allegations as contained in the securities class action and consolidated shareholder derivative action described above. On June 11, 2024, the individual who made the demand filed a stockholder derivative lawsuit styled Fischer v. Dinges et. al. (U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas). The Board of Directors has formed a committee to advise it in addressing each of the demand and the lawsuit. Other Legal Matters The Company is a defendant in various other legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. All known liabilities are accrued when management determines they are probable and the potential loss is estimable. While the outcome and impact of these legal proceedings on the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of these proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Contingency Reserves When deemed necessary, the Company establishes reserves for certain legal proceedings. The establishment of a reserve is based on an estimation process that includes the advice of legal counsel and subjective judgment of management. While management believes these reserves to be adequate, it is reasonably possible that the Company could incur additional losses with respect to those matters for which reserves have been established. The Company believes that any such amount above the amounts accrued would not be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Future changes in facts and circumstances not currently known or foreseeable could result in the actual liability exceeding the estimated ranges of loss and amounts accrued.

Restricted Stock Units - Employees During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 574,697 restricted stock units to employees of the Company with a weighted average grant date value of $26.16 per unit. The fair value of restricted stock unit grants is based on the closing stock price on the grant date. Restricted stock units generally vest at the end of a three-year service period. The Company assumed a zero percent annual forfeiture rate for purposes of recognizing stock-based compensation expense for awards granted in 2024, based on the Company’s actual forfeiture history and expectations for this type of award. Restricted Stock Units - Non-Employees Directors In May 2024, the Company granted 64,107 restricted stock units, with a weighted-average grant date value of $28.08 per unit, to the Company’s non-employee directors. The fair value of these units is measured based on the closing stock price on grant date. These units will vest on the earlier of April 2025 or upon the director’s separation from the Company. Accordingly, the Company recognized compensation expense immediately. Performance Share Awards Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) Performance Share Awards . During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company granted 541,865 TSR Performance Share Awards, which are earned or not earned, based on the comparative performance of the Company’s common stock measured against a predetermined group of companies in the Company’s peer group and certain industry-related indices over a three-year performance period, which commenced on February 1, 2024 and ends on January 31, 2027. These awards have both an equity and liability component, with the right to receive up to the first 100 percent of the award in shares of common stock and the right to receive up to an additional 100 percent of the value of the award in excess of the equity component in cash. These awards also include a feature that will reduce the potential cash component of the award if the actual performance is negative over the three-year period and the base calculation indicates an above-target payout. The equity portion of these awards is valued on the grant date and is not marked-to-market, while the liability portion of the awards is valued as of the end of each reporting period on a mark-to-market basis. The Company calculates the fair value of the equity and liability portions of the awards using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Company assumed a zero percent annual forfeiture rate for purposes of recognizing stock-based compensation expense for these awards based on the Company’s actual forfeiture history and expectations for this type of award. The following assumptions were used to determine the grant date fair value of the equity component and the period-end fair value of the liability component of the TSR Performance Share Awards: Grant Date February 21, 2024 June 30, 2024 Fair value per performance share award $ 19.38 $3.18 - $9.67 Assumptions: Stock price volatility 38.0 % 22.1%- 36.2% Risk-free rate of return 4.39 % 4.55% - 5.22%

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similarly calculated, except that the shares of common stock outstanding for the period is increased using the treasury stock and as-if converted methods to reflect the potential dilution that could occur if outstanding stock awards were vested or exercised at the end of the applicable period. Anti-dilutive shares represent potentially dilutive securities that are excluded from the computation of diluted income or loss per share as their impact would be anti-dilutive. The following is a calculation of basic and diluted net earnings per share under the two-class method: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In millions, except per share amounts) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Income (Numerator) Net income $ 220 $ 209 $ 572 $ 886 Less: dividends attributable to participating securities (1) (1) (1) (3) Net income available to common stockholders $ 219 $ 208 $ 571 $ 883 Shares (Denominator) Weighted average shares - Basic 742 755 746 760 Dilution effect of stock awards at end of period 6 5 6 4 Weighted average shares - Diluted 748 760 752 764 Earnings per share Basic $ 0.30 $ 0.28 $ 0.77 $ 1.16 Diluted $ 0.29 $ 0.27 $ 0.76 $ 1.16 The following is a calculation of weighted-average shares excluded from diluted EPS due to the anti-dilutive effect: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In millions) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Weighted-average stock awards excluded from diluted EPS due to the anti-dilutive effect calculated using the treasury stock method — — — 1
