ITEM 7.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The information provided below supplements, but does not form part of, CNX's financial statements. This discussion contains forward‐looking statements that are based on the views and beliefs of management, as well as assumptions and estimates made by management. Actual results could differ materially from such forward‐looking statements as a result of various risk factors, including those that may not be in the control of management. For further information on items that could impact future operating performance or financial condition, please see “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” and the section entitled “Forward‐Looking Statements.” CNX does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements except as otherwise required by applicable law.

General

CNX continually monitors factors that could cause actual results of operations to differ from historical results or current expectations. Examples include the conflict between Russia and Ukraine that has had an impact on global commodity prices. More information regarding these considerations is located in Item 1A Risk Factors. These and other factors could affect the Company’s operations, earnings and cash flows for any period and could cause such results to not be comparable to those of the same period in previous years. The results presented in this Form 10-K are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Natural gas, NGL, and Oil Pricing

Prices for natural gas, NGLs and oil that CNX produces significantly impact revenue and cash flows. Natural gas, NGL and oil benchmark prices increased significantly during the year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. As a result, CNX experienced a significant increase in revenue and cash flows during the year ended December 31, 2022. In the current economic environment, CNX expects that commodity prices for some or all of the commodities we produce will remain volatile. In order to manage the market risk exposure of volatile natural gas prices in the future, CNX enters into various physical natural gas supply transactions with both gas marketers and end users for terms varying in length as well as financial hedges. However, this market volatility is beyond our control and may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and future cash flows.

Inflation

Heightened levels of inflation, primarily related to steel, diesel fuel and labor, continue to present risk for CNX and the broader natural gas industry. CNX experienced higher capital costs from inflation during the year ended December 31, 2022. If inflation continues at its current levels or increases further for any extended period of time, and CNX is unable to successfully mitigate the impact, our costs could increase further, having a greater impact on our financial position. Rising interest rates could also increase our borrowing costs on new debt and our current revolver and could affect the fair value of our investments. CNX remains committed to our ongoing efforts to increase the efficiency of our operations and improve costs, which may, in part, offset cost increases from inflation.

2022 Highlights:

•Proved developed reserves of 6.2 Tcfe, 5% higher than 2021.

•Total gas production of 580.2 Bcfe.

•Shale production of 536.1 Bcfe.

•Repurchased $568 million or 33.5 million shares of CNX common stock on the open market.

•Reduced long-term debt by $8 million.

2023 Outlook:

•Our 2023 annual production is expected to be approximately 555-575 Bcfe.

•Our 2023 capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $575-$675 million.

Results of Operations:

The following discussion and analysis of our Results of Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources includes a comparison of the year ended December 31, 2022 to the year ended December 31, 2021. A similar discussion and analysis that compares year ended December 31, 2021 to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 is omitted from this Form 10-K and may be found in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Net Loss Attributable to CNX Resources Shareholders

CNX reported a net loss attributable to CNX Resources shareholders of $142 million, or a loss per diluted share of $0.75, for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to a net loss attributable to CNX Resources shareholders of $499 million, or a loss per diluted share of $2.31, for the year ended December 31, 2021. Included in the loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 was an unrealized loss on commodity derivative instruments of $851 million. Included in the loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 was an unrealized loss on commodity derivative instruments of $1,094 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

CNX's management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures for planning, forecasting and evaluating business and financial performance, and believes that they are useful for investors in analyzing the Company. Although these are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, management believes that these financial measures are useful to an investor in evaluating CNX because these metrics are widely used to evaluate a natural gas company’s operating performance. Sales of Natural Gas, NGL and Oil, including cash settlements is a non-GAAP measure that excludes the impacts of changes in the fair value of commodity derivative instruments prior to settlement, which are often volatile, and only includes the impact of settled commodity derivative instruments. Sales of Natural Gas, NGL and Oil, including cash settlements also excludes purchased gas revenue and other revenue and operating income, which are not directly related to CNX’s natural gas producing activities. Natural Gas, NGL and Oil Production Costs is a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain expenses that are not directly related to CNX’s natural gas producing activities and are managed outside our production operations (See Note 21 – Segment Information in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information). These expenses include, but are not limited to, interest expense, other operating expense and other corporate expenses such as selling, general and administrative costs. We believe that Sales of Natural Gas, NGL and Oil, including cash settlements, Natural Gas, NGL and Oil Production Costs and Natural Gas, NGL and Oil Production Margin (which is derived by subtracting Natural Gas, NGL and Oil Production Costs from Sales of Natural Gas, NGL and Oil, including cash settlements) provide useful information to investors for evaluating period-to-period comparisons of earnings trends. These metrics should not be viewed as a substitute for measures of performance that are calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because all companies do not calculate these measures identically, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

*NGLs and Oil/Condensate are converted to Mcfe at the rate of one barrel equals six Mcf based upon the approximate relative energy content of oil and natural gas, which is not indicative of the relationship of NGL, condensate, and natural gas prices.

The 10.0 Bcfe decrease in volumes in the period-to period comparison was primarily due to various operational delays and challenges, including a loss related to the abandonment of a Shale wellbore (see Gain on Asset Sales and Abandonments, net for more information). The decrease was also due to normal production declines, offset in part by the turn-in-line of new

46

wells throughout 2022.

Changes in the average costs per Mcfe were primarily related to the following items:

•Lease operating expense increased on a per unit basis as a result of an increase in repairs and maintenance expense, including both routine and water storage system maintenance, and an increase in water disposal costs driven by more produced water being taken to disposal instead of being reused in well completions.

•Production, ad valorem and other fees increased on a per unit basis as a result of increased realized prices on natural gas and NGLs.

•Transportation, gathering and compression expense increased on a per unit basis primarily due to increased processing costs due to a wetter production mix, increased electrical compression expense, increased repairs and maintenance expense and lower volumes.

•Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense decreased on a per unit basis due to a lower annual depletion rate primarily resulting from low-cost reserve additions from development during the 2021 period.

The increase in gross revenue was primarily the result of the $2.72 per Mcf increase in natural gas prices, when excluding the impact of hedging, and the $4.26 per Bbl increase in NGL prices. These increases were offset, in part, by the impact of the change in the realized loss on commodity derivative instruments related to the Company's hedging program and the 10.0 Bcfe decrease in sales volumes.

SHALE SEGMENT

The Shale segment had earnings before income tax of $940 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to earnings before income tax of $774 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

For the Years Ended December 31,

Oil/Condensate Sales Volumes (Bcfe)* 1.4 2.4 (1.0) (41.7) %

Average Sales Price - Gas (per Mcf) $ 6.19 $ 3.51 $ 2.68 76.4 %

Total Average Shale Production Costs (per Mcfe) $ 1.48 $ 1.49 $ (0.01) (0.7) %

Total Average Shale Production Margin (per Mcfe) $ 1.62 $ 1.28 $ 0.34 26.6 %

*NGLs and Oil/Condensate are converted to Mcfe at the rate of one barrel equals six Mcf based upon the approximate relative energy content of oil and natural gas, which is not indicative of the relationship of oil, NGLs, condensate, and natural gas prices.

The Shale segment had natural gas, NGLs and oil/condensate revenue of $3,335 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $1,989 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The $1,346 million increase was due primarily to a 76.4% increase in the average sales price for natural gas and a 12.6% increase in the average sales price of NGLs, offset in part by a 0.8% decrease in total Shale gas sales volumes. The decrease in total Shale gas sales volumes was primarily due to various operational delays and challenges including a loss related to the abandonment of a Shale wellbore (see Gain on Asset Sales and Abandonments, net for more information). The decrease was also due to normal production declines, offset in part by the turn-in-line of new wells throughout 2022.

The increase in total average Shale sales price was primarily due to a $2.68 per Mcf increase in average gas sales price and a $0.71 per Mcfe increase in the average NGL sales price. These increases were offset in part by a $2.39 per Mcf change in the realized loss on commodity derivative instruments. The notional amounts associated with these financial hedges represented approximately 424.7 Bcf of the Company's produced Shale gas sales volumes for the year ended December 31, 2022 at an average loss of $3.94 per Mcf hedged. For the year ended December 31, 2021, these financial hedges represented approximately 429.4 Bcf at an average loss of $1.15 per Mcf hedged.

Total operating costs and expenses for the Shale segment were $791 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $804 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decreases in total dollars and unit costs for the Shale segment were due to the following items:

•Shale lease operating expenses were $50 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $34 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increases in total dollars and unit costs were primarily related to an increase in repairs and maintenance expense, including both routine and water storage system maintenance, and an increase in water disposal costs as more water had to be taken to disposal instead of being reused in well completions.

•Shale production, ad valorem and other fees were $33 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $27 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increases in total dollars and unit costs were primarily due to increased realized prices on natural gas and natural gas liquids.

49

•Shale transportation, gathering and compression costs were $319 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $303 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increases in total dollars and unit costs were primarily related to an increase in repairs and maintenance expense, an increase in processing costs due to a wetter production mix and increased electrical compression expense.

•Depreciation, depletion and amortization costs attributable to the Shale segment were $389 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $440 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. These amounts included depletion on a unit of production basis of $0.62 per Mcfe and $0.71 per Mcfe, respectively. The decrease in the units of production depreciation, depletion and amortization rate in the current period is primarily the result of a lower annual depletion rate related to low-cost reserve additions from development in the 2021 period. The remaining depreciation, depletion and amortization costs were either recorded on a straight-line basis or related to asset retirement obligations.

Total Shale other revenue and operating income relates to natural gas gathering services provided to third parties. The Shale segment had other revenue and operating income of $69 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $81 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in the period-to-period comparison was primarily due to lower third-party gathering volumes due to normal production declines.

COALBED METHANE (CBM) SEGMENT

The CBM segment had earnings before income tax of $44 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to earnings before income tax of $29 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

For the Years Ended December 31,

Average Sales Price - Gas (per Mcf) $ 7.20 $ 3.91 $ 3.29 84.1 %

Total Average CBM Sales Price (per Mcf) $ 4.01 $ 2.97 $ 1.04 35.0 %

Average CBM Lease Operating Expenses (per Mcf) 0.40 0.26 0.14 53.8 %

Total Average CBM Production Costs (per Mcf) $ 3.00 $ 2.38 $ 0.62 26.1 %

Total Average CBM Production Margin (per Mcf) $ 1.01 $ 0.59 $ 0.42 71.2 %

The CBM segment had natural gas revenue of $315 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $194 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The $121 million increase was primarily due to an 84.1% increase in the average sales price for natural gas in the current period. The natural gas price increases were partially offset by the 11.7% decrease in CBM gas sales volumes due to normal production declines.

The total average CBM sales price increased $1.04 per Mcf due to a $3.29 per Mcf increase in average gas sales price, offset in part by a $2.25 per Mcf change in the realized loss on commodity derivative instruments resulting from the Company's hedging program. The notional amounts associated with these financial hedges represented approximately 35.5 Bcf of the Company's produced CBM gas sales volumes for the year ended December 31, 2022 at an average loss of $3.92 per Mcf hedged. For the year ended December 31, 2021, these financial hedges represented approximately 40.4 Bcf at an average loss of $1.15 per Mcf hedged.

Total operating costs and expenses for the CBM segment were $132 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $118 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increases in total dollars and unit costs for the CBM segment were due to the following items:

•CBM lease operating expense was $17 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $13 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increases in total dollars and unit costs were primarily due to increases in repairs and maintenance expense.

50

•CBM production, ad valorem and other fees were $12 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increases in total dollars and unit costs were primarily due to increased realized prices on natural gas.

•CBM transportation, gathering and compression costs were $49 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $40 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increases in total dollars and unit costs were primarily due to an increase in repairs and maintenance expense and electrical compression expense.

•Depreciation, depletion and amortization costs attributable to the CBM segment were $54 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $58 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 due to lower volumes in the current period. These amounts included depletion on a unit of production basis of $0.65 per Mcfe and $0.66 per Mcfe, respectively. The remaining depreciation, depletion and amortization costs were either recorded on a straight-line basis or related to asset retirement obligations.

OTHER SEGMENT

The Other Segment includes nominal shallow oil and gas production which is not significant to the Company. It also includes the Company's purchased gas activities, unrealized gain or loss on commodity derivative instruments, new technologies, exploration and production related other costs, as well as various other expenses that are managed outside the Shale and CBM segments such as SG&A, interest expense and income taxes.

The Other Segment had a loss before income tax of $1,196 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to a loss before income tax of $1,440 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in total dollars is discussed below.

For the Years Ended December 31,

Other Gas Sales Volumes (Bcf) 0.4 0.3 0.1 33.3 %

Loss on Commodity Derivative Instruments

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Other Segment recognized an unrealized loss on commodity derivative instruments of $851 million, as well as cash settlements paid of $1 million. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Other Segment recognized an unrealized loss on commodity derivative instruments of $1,094 million. The unrealized loss on commodity derivative instruments represents changes in the fair value of all the Company's existing commodity hedges on a mark-to-market basis. See Note 19 – Derivative Instruments in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information related to the cash settlements.

Purchased Gas Revenue and Costs

Purchased gas volumes represent volumes of natural gas purchased at market prices from third parties and then resold in order to fulfill contracts with certain customers and to balance supply. Purchased gas revenue was $186 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $100 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. Purchased gas costs were $185 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $94 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The period-to-period increase in purchased gas revenue was due to an increase in average sales price and an increase in purchased gas sales volumes.

For the Years Ended December 31,

Purchased Gas Sales Volumes (in Bcf) 30.7 26.6 4.1 15.4 %

Purchased Gas Average Sales Price (per Mcf) $ 6.04 $ 3.75 $ 2.29 61.1 %

Total Other Operating Income $ 18 $ 25 $ (7) (28.0) %

•Equity income from affiliates primarily represents CNX’s share of earnings from a 50% interest in a power plant located within CNX’s CBM field. Power generated from the facility is sold into wholesale electricity markets during times of peak energy consumption. Due to the plant consuming coal mine methane gas, the plant qualifies for Pennsylvania Tier I Renewable Energy Credits.

•Water income decreased in the period-to-period comparison due to fewer third-party sales in the current period.

•Excess firm transportation income represents revenue from the sale of excess firm transportation capacity to third parties. The Company obtains firm pipeline transportation capacity to enable gas production to flow uninterrupted as sales volumes increase. In order to minimize this unutilized firm transportation expense, CNX is able to release (sell) unutilized firm transportation capacity to other parties when possible and when beneficial. The revenue from released capacity helps offset the Unutilized Firm Transportation and Processing Fees in Total Other Operating Expense.

•Exploratory well costs relate to the write-off of an exploratory well that was still being evaluated at the end of 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company determined it would be more economical to access the underlying reserves from a different location.

•Lease expiration costs relate to leases where the primary term expired or will expire within the next 12 months.

•Seismic activity expense for the current period primarily relates to the acquisition of three-dimensional seismic data.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”)

SG&A costs include costs such as overhead, including employee labor and benefit costs, short-term incentive compensation, costs of maintaining our headquarters, audit and other professional fees, charitable contributions and legal compliance expenses.

•CNX and its subsidiaries are subject to various lawsuits and claims in the normal course of business. CNX accrues the estimated loss for these lawsuits and claims as litigation settlements when the loss is probable and can be estimated. (See Note 20 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information). The decrease in the period-to-period comparison was the result of various items, none of which were individually material.

•Unutilized firm transportation and processing fees represent pipeline transportation capacity obtained to enable gas production to flow uninterrupted as sales volumes increase, as well as additional processing capacity for NGLs. In some instances, the Company may have the opportunity to realize more favorable net pricing by strategically choosing to sell natural gas into a market or to a customer that does not require the use of the Company’s own firm transportation capacity. Such sales would result in an increase in unutilized firm transportation expense. The Company attempts to minimize this expense by releasing (selling) unutilized firm transportation capacity to other parties when possible and when beneficial. The revenue received when this capacity is released (sold) is included in Excess Firm Transportation Income in Total Other Operating Income.

•Virginia flood expense includes cleanup and repair costs related to flooding that occurred in Buchanan County, Virginia in July 2022.

Gain on Asset Sales and Abandonments, net

A net gain on asset sales of $9 million was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to a gain of $42 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company sold various non-core assets, primarily rights-of-way, surface acreage and other non-core oil and gas interests, the gains from which were partially offset by costs related to the plugging and abandonment of a Shale wellbore. This well was originally part of the 2023 development plan, and in order to not delay other wells, CNX plugged the wellbore and plans on accessing the reserves at a future date. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold various non-core assets, primarily rights-of-way, surface acreage and other non-core oil and gas interests.

Loss on Debt Extinguishment

A loss on debt extinguishment of $23 million was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to a loss on debt extinguishment of $34 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022, CNX purchased a portion of the Convertible Notes due May 2026 and $350 million of the 7.25% Senior Notes due March 2027 at an average price equal to 102.5% of the principal amount. During the year ended December 31, 2021, CNXM purchased all of the 6.50% Senior Notes due March 2026 and CNX repaid in full and terminated the Cardinal States Gathering Company LLC and CSG Holdings II LLC non-revolving credit facilities. See Note 12 – Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

Interest Expense

For the Years Ended December 31,

(in millions) 2022 2021 Variance Percent Change

The $23 million decrease in total interest expense was primarily due to the purchase of the $400 million 6.500% CNXM Senior Notes due March 2026 during the year ended December 31, 2021, the purchase of the $350 million 7.25% Senior Notes due March 2027 during the year ended December 31, 2022, and lower borrowings on the CNX Credit Facility, offset, in part, by the issuance of $400 million of 4.750% CNXM Senior Notes due April 2030 during the year ended December 31, 2021 and the issuance of $500 million 7.375% Senior Notes due January 2031 during the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was also due to the Company adopting Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2020-06 - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity on January 1, 2022. As part of the adoption, total interest expense no longer includes a non-cash interest expense component related to the Convertible Notes due May 2026. Total interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 also included $16 million that was amortized as additional non-cash interest expense related to the equity component of the Convertible Notes due May 2026. See Note 12 – Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

The effective income tax rate was 33.0% for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to 21.7% for the year ended December 31, 2021. The effective rates for each of the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 differ from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to federal tax credits, state income taxes including tax rate changes, equity compensation, and the impact of certain state deferred tax asset valuation allowances as a result of the higher unrealized loss on commodity derivative instruments during each of the periods presented. The unrealized losses represent changes in the fair value of the Company’s existing commodity hedges on a mark-to-market basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview, Sources and Uses

CNX generally has satisfied its working capital requirements and funded its capital expenditures and debt service obligations with cash generated from operations and proceeds from borrowings. CNX currently believes that cash generated from operations, asset sales and the Company's borrowing capacity will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures (other than major acquisitions), scheduled debt payments, anticipated dividend payments, if any, and to provide required letters of credit for the current fiscal year. Nevertheless, the ability of CNX to satisfy its working capital requirements, to service its debt obligations, to fund planned capital expenditures, or to pay dividends will depend upon future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the natural gas industry and other financial and business factors, some of which are beyond CNX’s control.

From time to time, CNX 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. CNX sometimes uses letters of credit to satisfy these requirements and these letters of credit reduce the Company's borrowing facility capacity.

CNX continuously reviews its liquidity and capital resources. If market conditions were to change, for instance due to a significant decline in commodity prices and our revenue was reduced significantly or operating costs were to increase significantly, our cash flows and liquidity could be reduced.

As of December 31, 2022, CNX was in compliance with all of its debt covenants. After considering the potential effect of a significant decline in commodity prices, CNX currently expects to remain in compliance with its debt covenants.

CNX frequently evaluates potential acquisitions. CNX has historically funded acquisitions with cash generated from operations and a variety of other sources, depending on the size of the transaction, including debt and equity financing. There can be no assurance that additional capital resources, including debt and equity financing, will be available to CNX on terms which CNX finds acceptable, or at all.

Factors that may Impact our Liquidity

•The Company’s cash on hand and access to additional liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $21.3 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

•Accounts and notes receivable - trade as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $348.5 million and $330.1 million, respectively. Our accounts and notes receivable balance may fluctuate as of any balance sheet date depending on the prices we receive for our natural gas and NGLs and the volumes sold.

•Capital expenditures are expected to range between $575 million to $675 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to capital expenditures of $565.8 million in fiscal year 2022. Accelerated levels of inflation may lead to price increases beyond CNX’s control that could lead to CNX incurring an increase in costs in the future.

•Production volumes are expected to range between 555.0 Bcfe and 575.0 Bcfe for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to production volumes of 580.2 Bcfe in fiscal year 2022.

•Prices for natural gas and NGLs are volatile, and an extended decline in the prices we receive for our natural gas and NGLs will adversely affect our financial condition and cash flows.

•In order to manage the market risk exposure of volatile natural gas prices in the future, CNX enters into various physical natural gas supply transactions with both gas marketers and end users for terms varying in length. CNX also enters into various financial natural gas swap transactions to manage the market risk exposure to in-basin and out-of-basin pricing. The fair value of these contracts was a net liability of $1,905 million at December 31, 2022 and a net liability of $976 million at December 31, 2021. The Company has not experienced any issues of non-performance by derivative counterparties. See Item 7A., “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for further discussion of our commodity risk management.

Cash Flows (in millions)

For the Years Ended December 31,

Cash Provided by Operating Activities $ 1,235 $ 926 $ 309

Cash Used in Investing Activities $ (528) $ (421) $ (107)

Cash Used in Financing Activities $ (689) $ (524) $ (165)

Cash provided by operating activities changed in the period-to-period comparison primarily due to the following items:

•Net loss decreased $357 million in the period-to-period comparison.

•Adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash provided by operating activities primarily consisted of an $165 million net change in commodity derivative instruments, a $62 million change in deferred income taxes, a $54 million change in depreciation, depletion and amortization, a $33 million change in gain on asset sales and abandonments, net, and various other changes in working capital.

Cash used in investing activities changed in the period-to-period comparison primarily due to the following items:

•Capital expenditures increased $100 million primarily due to an increase in drilling and completions activity, midstream activity and an overall increase in costs related to inflation.

•Proceeds from asset sales decreased $8 million mainly due to decreased sales of non-core surface and oil and gas interests in the year ended December 31, 2022.

Cash used in financing activities changed in the period-to-period comparison primarily due to the following items:

•During the year ended December 31, 2022, CNX closed on $500 million aggregate principal amount of CNX 7.375% Senior Notes due January 2031 at a price of 98.8% for cash proceeds of $494 million. See Note 12 – Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

•During the year ended December 31, 2022, CNX paid $359 million to repurchase $350 million of CNX 7.25% Senior Notes due March 2027 at 102.5% of the principal amount.

•During the year ended December 31, 2021, CNXM paid $421 million to purchase $400 million of CNXM 6.50% Senior Notes due in March 2026 at 105.3% of the principal amount. See Note 12 – Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

•During the year ended December 31, 2021, CNXM completed a private offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of CNXM 4.75% Senior Notes due April 2030 at a price of 98.8% for cash proceeds of $395 million. See Note 12 – Long-Term Debt in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information.

•During the year ended December 31, 2021, there were $161 million of net payments on the Cardinal States Facility and CSG Holdings Facility compared to $159 million of net proceeds in the year ended December 31, 2020.

Commitments and Significant Contractual Obligations

The following is a summary of the Company's significant contractual obligations at December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

Payments due by Year

Less Than1 Year 1-3 Years 3-5 Years More Than5 Years Total

_________________________

(a)Employee related long-term liabilities include salaried retirement contributions and work-related injuries and illnesses.

(b)Other long-term liabilities include royalties and other long-term liability costs.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

CNX 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 the Company’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 Audited Consolidated Financial Statements. CNX uses a combination of surety bonds, corporate guarantees and letters of credit to secure the Company's financial obligations for employee-related, environmental, performance and various other items which are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022. Management believes these items will expire without being funded. See Note 20 – Commitments and Contingent Liabilities in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional details of the various financial guarantees that have been issued by CNX.

Debt

At December 31, 2022, CNX had total long-term debt of $2,220 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. This long-term debt consisted of:

•An aggregate principal amount of $500 million of 7.375% Senior Notes due January 2031, less $6 million of unamortized bond discount. Interest on the notes is payable January 15 and July 15 each year. Payment of the principal and interest on the notes is guaranteed by most of CNX’s subsidiaries but does not include CNXM (or its subsidiaries or general partner).

•An aggregate principal amount of $500 million of 6.00% Senior Notes due January 2029. Interest on the notes is payable January 15 and July 15 of each year. Payment of the principal and interest on the notes is guaranteed by most of CNX's subsidiaries but does not include CNXM (or its subsidiaries or general partner).

•An aggregate principal amount of $400 million of 4.75% Senior Notes due April 2030 issued by CNXM, less $4 million of unamortized bond discount. Interest on the notes is payable April 15 and October 15 of each year. Payment on the principal and interest on the notes is guaranteed by certain of CNXM's subsidiaries. CNX is not a guarantor of these notes.

•An aggregate principal amount of $350 million of 7.25% Senior Notes due March 2027 plus $2 million of unamortized bond premium. Interest on the notes is payable March 14 and September 14 of each year. Payment of the principal and interest on the notes is guaranteed by most of CNX's subsidiaries but does not include CNXM (or its subsidiaries or general partner).

•An aggregate principal amount of $331 million of 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes due May 2026, unless earlier redeemed, repurchased, or converted, less $7 million of unamortized discount and issuance costs. Interest on the notes

57

is payable May 1 and November 1 of each year. Payment of the principal and interest on the notes is guaranteed by most of CNX's subsidiaries but does not include CNXM (or its subsidiaries or general partner).

•An aggregate principal amount of $154 million in outstanding borrowings under the CNXM Credit Facility. Payment of the principal and interest on the CNXM Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of CNXM's subsidiaries. CNX is not a guarantor of the CNXM Facility.

Total Equity and Dividends

CNX had total equity of $2,950 million at December 31, 2022 compared to $3,700 million at December 31, 2021. See the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional details.

On September 28, 2020, the Merger of CNXM was completed (See Note 4 – Acquisitions and Dispositions in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information). CNX accounted for the change in our ownership interest in CNXM as an equity transaction which was reflected as a reduction of noncontrolling interest with corresponding increases to common stock and capital in excess of par value.

The declaration and payment of dividends by CNX is subject to the discretion of CNX's Board of Directors, and no assurance can be given that CNX will pay dividends in the future. CNX has not paid dividends on its common stock since 2016. The determination to pay dividends in the future will depend upon, among other things, general business conditions, CNX's financial results, contractual and legal restrictions regarding the payment of dividends by CNX, planned investments by CNX, and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. CNX's Credit Facility limits its ability to pay dividends in excess of an annual rate of $0.10 per share when the Company's net leverage ratio exceeds 3.00 to 1.00 and is subject to availability under the Credit Facility of at least 20% of the aggregate commitments and there being no borrowing base deficiency. The Credit Facility does not permit such dividend payments when an event of default has occurred and is continuing. The indentures to the 7.25% Senior Notes due March 2027, the 6.00% Senior Notes due January 2029, and the 7.375% Senior Notes due January 2031 limit dividends to $0.50 per share annually unless several conditions are met. These conditions include no defaults, ability to incur additional debt and other payment limitations under the indentures. There were no defaults in the year ended December 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Financial Statements and at the date of the financial statements. See Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for further discussion. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making the judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We evaluate our estimates on an on-going basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates upon the subsequent resolution of identified matters. Management believes that the estimates utilized are reasonable. The following critical accounting policies are materially impacted by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations requires that the fair value of an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The present value of the estimated asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. Asset retirement obligations primarily relate to the closure of gas wells and the reclamation of land upon exhaustion of gas reserves. Changes in the variables used to calculate the liabilities can have a significant effect on the gas well closing liability. The amounts of assets and liabilities recorded are dependent upon a number of variables, including the estimated future retirement costs, estimated proved reserves, assumptions involving profit margins, inflation rates and the assumed credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate.

The Company believes that the accounting estimates related to asset retirement obligations are “critical accounting estimates” because the Company must assess the expected amount and timing of asset retirement obligations. In addition, the Company must determine the estimated present value of future liabilities. Future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions.

58

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized using enacted tax rates for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative, must be considered in determining the need for a valuation allowance. At December 31, 2022, prior to consideration of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, CNX had deferred tax liabilities in excess of deferred tax assets of approximately $148 million. At December 31, 2022, CNX had a valuation allowance of $85 million on deferred tax assets.

CNX evaluates all tax positions taken on the state and federal tax filings to determine if the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. For positions that meet the more likely than not to be sustained criteria, an evaluation of the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement is determined. A previously recognized tax position is reversed when it is subsequently determined that a tax position no longer meets the more likely than not threshold to be sustained. The evaluation of the sustainability of a tax position and the probable amount that is more likely than not is based on judgment, historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates, which are not readily apparent from other sources, form the basis for recognizing an uncertain tax liability. Actual results could differ from those estimates upon the subsequent resolution of identified matters. See Note 6 – Income Taxes in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Company’s uncertain tax liabilities.

The Company believes that accounting estimates related to income taxes are “critical accounting estimates” because the Company must assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and exercise judgment regarding the amount of financial statement benefit to record for uncertain tax positions. When evaluating whether or not a valuation allowance must be established on deferred tax assets, the Company exercises judgment in determining whether it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50%) that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of the evidence, a valuation allowance is needed, including carrybacks, tax planning strategies and reversal of deferred tax assets and liabilities. In making the determination related to uncertain tax positions, the Company considers the amounts and probabilities of the outcomes that could be realized upon ultimate settlement of an uncertain tax position using the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date to establish the appropriate amount of financial statement benefit. To the extent that an uncertain tax position or valuation allowance is established or increased or decreased during a period, the Company must include an expense or benefit within tax expense in the income statement. Future results of operations for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions.

Natural Gas, NGL, Condensate and Oil Reserve (“Natural Gas Reserve”) Values

Proved oil and gas reserves, as defined by SEC Regulation S-X Rule 4-10, are those quantities of oil and natural gas which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities and values of economically recoverable natural gas reserves, including many factors beyond our control. As a result, estimates of economically recoverable natural gas reserves are by their nature uncertain. Information about our reserves consists of estimates based on engineering, economic and geological data assembled and analyzed by our staff. Our natural gas reserves are reviewed by independent experts each year. Some of the factors and assumptions which impact economically recoverable reserve estimates include:

•geological conditions;

•historical production from the area compared with production from other producing areas;

•the assumed effects of regulations and taxes by governmental agencies;

•assumptions governing future prices; and

•future operating costs.

Each of these factors may in fact vary considerably from the assumptions used in estimating reserves. For these reasons, estimates of the economically recoverable quantities of gas attributable to a particular group of properties, and classifications of these reserves based on risk of recovery and estimates of future net cash flows, may vary substantially. Actual production,

59

revenues and expenditures with respect to our reserves will likely vary from estimates, and these variances may be material. See “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of this Form 10-K for a discussion of the uncertainties in estimating our reserves.

The Company believes that the accounting estimate related to oil and gas reserves is a “critical accounting estimate” because the Company must periodically reevaluate proved reserves along with estimates of future production rates, production costs and the estimated timing of development expenditures. Future results of operations and strength of the balance sheet for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions. See “Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” below for additional information regarding the Company’s oil and gas reserves.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The carrying values of the Company's proved oil and gas properties are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a property’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment tests require that the Company first compare future undiscounted cash flows by asset group to their respective carrying values. The Company groups its assets by geological and geographical characteristics. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, a reduction of the carrying amount of the natural gas properties to their estimated fair values is required, which is determined based on discounted cash flow techniques using a market-specific weighted average cost of capital. There were no impairments related to proved properties in the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

CNX evaluates capitalized costs of unproved gas properties for recoverability on a prospective basis. Indicators of potential impairment include, but are not limited to, changes brought about by economic factors, commodity price outlooks, our geologists’ evaluation of the property, favorable or unfavorable activity on the property being evaluated and/or adjacent properties, potential shifts in business strategy employed by management and historical experience. If it is determined that the properties will not yield proved reserves, the related costs are expensed in the period the determination is made. There were no impairments related to unproved properties in the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

The Company believes that the accounting estimates related to the impairment of long-lived assets are “critical accounting estimates” because the fair value estimation process requires considerable judgment and determining the fair value is sensitive to changes in assumptions impacting management’s estimates of future financial results. In addition, the Company must determine the estimated undiscounted future cash flows as well as the impact of commodity price outlooks. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in estimating the fair value are reasonable and appropriate; however, different assumptions and estimates, such as different assumptions in projected revenues, future commodity prices or the weighted average costs of capital, could materially impact the calculated fair value and the resulting determinations about the impairment of long-lived assets which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations and financial position. Additionally, future estimates may differ materially from current estimates and assumptions.

Impairment of Goodwill

In connection with the Midstream Acquisition that closed on January 3, 2018, CNX recorded $796 million of goodwill. See Note 9 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for more information.

Goodwill is not amortized, but rather it is evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if recent events or prevailing conditions indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. We may assess goodwill for impairment by first performing a qualitative assessment, which considers specific factors, based on the weight of evidence, and the significance of all identified events and circumstances in the context of determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount using the qualitative assessment, we perform a quantitative impairment test. From time to time, we may also bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative impairment test. Under the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying amount. If the quantitative goodwill impairment test indicates that the goodwill is impaired, an impairment loss is recorded, which is the difference between carrying value of the reporting unit and its fair value, with the impairment loss not to exceed the amount of goodwill recorded. The estimation of fair value of a reporting unit is determined using the income approach and/or the market approach as described below.

The income approach is a quantitative evaluation to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. Under the income approach we determine the fair value based on estimated future cash flows discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital plus a forecast risk, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of the reporting unit and the rate of return a market participant would expect to earn. The inputs used for the income approach were significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3

60

inputs, as described in the accounting fair value hierarchy. CNX determined the fair value based on estimated future cash flows and earnings before deducting net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) and income taxes (EBITDA - a non-GAAP financial measure) and also included estimates for capital expenditures, discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate, which management feels reflects the overall level of inherent risk of the reporting unit. Cash flow projections were derived from board approved budgeted amounts, a seven-year operating forecast and an estimate of future cash flows. Subsequent cash flows were developed using growth or contraction rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur.

The market approach measures the fair value of a reporting unit through the analysis of recent transactions and/or financial multiples of comparable businesses. Consideration is given to the financial conditions and operating performance of the reporting unit being valued relative to those publicly-traded companies operating in the same or similar lines of business.

The determination of the fair value requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions primarily include but are not limited to: the selection of appropriate peer group companies; control premiums appropriate for acquisitions in the industries in which we compete; discount rates; terminal growth rates; and forecasts of revenue, operating income, depreciation, depletion, and amortization and capital expenditures. The estimates of future cash flows and EBITDA are subjective in nature and are subject to impacts from business risks as described in Part I. Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K. The fair value estimation process requires considerable judgment and determining the fair value is sensitive to changes in assumptions impacting management’s estimates of future financial results. Although we believe our estimates of fair value are reasonable, actual financial results could differ from those estimates due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making such estimates. Changes in assumptions concerning future financial results or other underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on either the fair value of the reporting unit, the amount of any goodwill impairment charge, or both.

For the Company’s annual impairment assessment during the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company elected to perform a qualitative impairment test on its goodwill and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded the carrying value and goodwill was not impaired.

The Company believes that the accounting estimates related to goodwill are “critical accounting estimates” because the fair value estimation process requires considerable judgment and determining the fair value is sensitive to changes in assumptions impacting management’s estimates of future financial results. The fair value estimation process requires considerable judgment and determining the fair value is sensitive to changes in assumptions impacting management’s estimates of future financial results as well as other assumptions such as movement in the Company's stock price, weighted-average cost of capital, terminal growth rates, changes in the business climate, unanticipated changes in the competitive environment, adverse legal or regulatory actions or developments, changes in capital structure, cost of debt, interest rates, capital expenditure levels, operating cash flows, or market capitalization and industry multiples. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in estimating the fair value are reasonable and appropriate; however, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact the calculated fair value and the resulting determinations about goodwill impairment which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations and financial position. Additionally, future estimates may differ materially from current estimates and assumptions.

Impairment of Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives and they are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. Impairment tests require that the Company first compare future undiscounted cash flows to their respective carrying values. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, a reduction of the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value is required. There were no impairments related to definite-lived intangible assets in the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

The Company believes that the accounting estimates related to the impairment of definite-lived intangible assets are “critical accounting estimates” because the fair value estimation process requires considerable judgment and determining the fair value is sensitive to changes in assumptions impacting management’s estimates of future financial results. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in estimating the fair value are reasonable and appropriate; however, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact the calculated fair value and the resulting determinations about the impairment of definite-lived intangible assets which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations and financial position. Additionally, future estimates may differ materially from current estimates and assumptions.

61

Derivative Instruments.

We enter into derivative commodity instrument contracts primarily to reduce exposure to commodity price risk associated with future sales of natural gas production. See Note 18 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the fair value hierarchy. The values reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements change as these estimates are revised to reflect actual results or as market conditions or other factors, many of which are beyond our control, change.

We believe derivative instruments are "critical accounting estimates" because our financial condition and results of operations can be significantly impacted by changes in the market value of our derivative instruments due to the volatility of both NYMEX natural gas prices and basis. Future results of operations for any quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions. Refer to Item 7A., "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" of this Form 10-K for discussion of a hypothetical increase or decrease of 10% in the market price of natural gas.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

In addition to the risks inherent in operations, CNX is exposed to financial, market, political and economic risks. The following discussion provides additional detail regarding CNX's exposure to the risks of changing commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

CNX is exposed to market price risk in the normal course of selling natural gas and liquids. CNX uses fixed-price contracts, options and derivative commodity instruments (over-the-counter swaps) to minimize exposure to market price volatility in the sale of natural gas. Under our risk management policy, it is not our intent to engage in derivative activities for speculative purposes. Typically, CNX “sells” swaps under which it receives a fixed price from counterparties and pays a floating market price, but occasionally CNX may find it advantageous to purchase, rather than “sell”, financial swaps.

CNX has established risk management policies and procedures to strengthen the internal control environment of the marketing of commodities produced from its asset base. All of the derivative instruments without other risk assessment procedures are held for purposes other than trading. They are used primarily to mitigate uncertainty and volatility and cover underlying exposures. The Company's market risk strategy incorporates fundamental risk management tools to assess market price risk and establish a framework in which management can maintain a portfolio of transactions within predefined risk parameters.

CNX believes that the use of derivative instruments, along with our risk assessment procedures and internal controls, mitigates our exposure to material risks. The use of derivative instruments without other risk assessment procedures could materially affect the Company's results of operations depending on market prices; however, we believe that use of these instruments will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or liquidity due to our risk assessment procedures and internal controls.

For a summary of accounting policies related to derivative instruments, see Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

CNX’s open gas derivative instruments can cause earnings volatility relative to changes in market prices until the derivative contracts are either settled or are monetized prior to settlement. At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 our open derivative instruments were in a net liability position with fair values of $1,905 million and $976 million, respectively. A sensitivity analysis has been performed to determine the incremental effect on future earnings related to open derivative instruments at December 31, 2022 and 2021. A hypothetical 10 percent increase in future natural gas prices would have decreased the fair value by $816 million and $625 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. A hypothetical 10 percent decrease in future natural gas prices would have increased the fair value by $679 million and $607 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

CNX's interest expense is sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates in the United States. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage risk related to interest rates. These instruments change the variable-rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed cash flows. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, CNX had $2,055 million and $1,839 million, respectively, aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding under fixed-rate instruments, including unamortized debt issuance costs of $14 million and $17 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, CNX had $154 million and $377 million, respectively, of debt outstanding under variable-rate instruments. CNX’s primary exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to CNX’s revolving credit facility, under which there were no borrowings at December 31, 2022 and $192 million at December 31, 2021, and CNXM's revolving credit facility, under which there were $154 million of borrowings at December 31, 2022 and $185 million at December 31, 2021. A hypothetical 100 basis-point increase in the average rate for CNX's variable-rate instruments would decrease pre-tax future earnings as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 by $2 million and $4 million, respectively, on an annualized basis.

All of CNX's transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars, and, as a result, it does not have material exposure to currency exchange-rate risks.

CNX RESOURCES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

NOTE 1—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

A summary of the significant accounting policies of CNX Resources Corporation and subsidiaries (“CNX” or “the Company”) is presented below. These, together with the other notes that follow, are an integral part of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Basis of Consolidation:

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CNX Resources Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. Investments in business entities in which CNX does not have control but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies, are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in oil and natural gas producing entities are accounted for under the proportionate consolidation method.

In September 2020, the Merger (as defined in Note 4 – Acquisitions and Dispositions) of CNX Midstream Partners LP (CNXM) was completed. Prior to the Merger, public unitholders held a 46.9% equity interest in CNXM and CNX owned the remaining 53.1% equity interest. The earnings of CNXM that were attributed to its common units held by the public prior to the Merger are reflected in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no changes to our ownership interest in CNXM during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as various disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates included in, but not limited to, the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are related to long-lived assets (including intangible assets and goodwill), accounts receivable credit losses, the values of natural gas, NGLs, condensate and oil (collectively “natural gas”) reserves, asset retirement obligations, deferred income tax assets and liabilities, contingencies, fair value of derivative instruments, the fair value of the liability and equity components of the convertible senior notes prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06 - Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity on January 1, 2022, stock-based compensation and salary retirement benefits.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term securities with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted cash at December 31, 2020 consisted of cash that the Company was contractually obligated to maintain in accordance with theterms of the Cardinal States Gathering LLC and CSG Holdings II LLC Credit Agreements, each dated March 13, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2021, CNX repaid in full the outstanding principal on both of these non-revolving credit facilities and terminated the Credit Agreements (See Note 12 – Long-Term Debt for more information).

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash to amounts shown in the statement of cash flows:

December 31,

Restricted Cash, Current Portion — — 735

Restricted Cash, Less Current Portion — — 5,247

Total Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash $ 21,321 $ 3,565 $ 21,599

74

Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses:

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.

The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Management records an allowance for credit losses related to the collectability of third-party customers' receivables using the historical aging of the customer receivable balance. The collectability is determined based on past events, including historical experience, customer credit rating, as well as current market conditions. CNX monitors customer ratings and collectability on an on-going basis. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

There were no material financing receivables with a contractual maturity greater than one year at December 31, 2022 or 2021.

The following represents activity related to the allowance for credit losses for the years ended:

December 31,

Allowance for Credit Losses - Trade, Beginning of Year $ 84 $ 84

Provision for Expected Credit Losses — —

Allowance for Credit Losses - Trade, End of Period $ 84 $ 84

Provision for Expected Credit Losses (198) 104

Write-off of Uncollectible Accounts (187) (30)

Allowance for Credit Losses - Other Receivables, End of Period $ 2,937 $ 3,322

Inventories:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. 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 operations.

Property, Plant and Equipment:

CNX uses the successful efforts method of accounting for natural gas producing activities. Costs of property acquisitions, successful exploratory, development wells and related support equipment and facilities are capitalized. Periodic valuation provisions for impairment of capitalized costs of unproved mineral interests are expensed. Costs of unsuccessful exploratory wells are expensed when such wells are determined to be non-productive, or if the determination cannot be made after finding sufficient quantities of reserves to continue evaluating the viability of the project. The costs of producing properties and mineral interests are amortized using the units-of-production method. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense is calculated based on the actual produced sales volumes multiplied by the applicable rate per unit, which is derived by dividing the net capitalized costs by the number of units expected to be produced over the life of the reserves. Wells and related equipment and intangible drilling costs are also amortized on a units-of-production method. Proved developed reserves, as estimated by petroleum engineers, are used to calculate amortization of wells and related equipment and facilities and amortization of intangible drilling costs. Total proved reserves, also estimated by petroleum engineers, are used to calculate depletion on property acquisitions. Proved oil and natural gas reserve estimates are based on geological and engineering evaluations of in-place hydrocarbon volumes. Units-of-production amortization rates are revised at least once per year, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate an adjustment is necessary. Such revisions are accounted for prospectively as changes in accounting estimates. The Company recorded depreciation, depletion and amortization expense related to proved gas properties using the units-of-production method of $359,761, $415,069, and $400,948 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost upon acquisition. Expenditures which extend the useful lives of existing plant and equipment are capitalized. Interest costs applicable to major asset additions are capitalized during the construction

75

period. Planned major maintenance costs which do not extend the useful lives of existing plant and equipment are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives or lease terms, generally as follows:

Years

Buildings and Improvements 10 to 45

Machinery and Equipment 3 to 25

Gathering and Transmission 30 to 40

Leasehold Improvements Life of Lease

Costs for purchased software are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life which does not exceed seven years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:

Impairment of long-lived assets is recorded when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying value. The carrying value of the assets is then reduced to its estimated fair value which is usually measured based on an estimate of future discounted cash flows. Impairment of equity investments is recorded when indicators of impairment are present, and the estimated fair value of the investment is less than the assets' carrying value.

Impairment of Proved Properties:

CNX performs a quantitative impairment test whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an asset group's carrying amount may not be recoverable, over proved properties using the published NYMEX forward prices, timing, methods and other assumptions consistent with historical periods. When indicators of impairment are present, tests require that the Company first compare expected future undiscounted cash flows by asset group to their respective carrying values. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, a reduction of the carrying amount of the natural gas properties to their estimated fair values is required, which is determined based on discounted cash flow techniques using significant assumptions including projected revenues, future commodity prices and a market-specific weighted average cost of capital which are affected by expectations about future market and economic conditions.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, CNX recognized certain indicators of impairments specific to our Southwest Pennsylvania Coalbed Methane asset group and determined that the carrying value of that asset group was not recoverable. The fair value of the asset group was estimated by using level 3 inputs which consisted of discounting the estimated future cash flows using discount rates and other assumptions that market participants would use in their estimates of fair value. As a result, an impairment of $61,849 was recognized and is included in Impairment of Exploration and Production Properties in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The impairment was related to an economic decision to temporarily idle certain wells and the related processing facility during the first quarter.

Impairment of Unproved Properties:

Capitalized costs of unproved oil and gas properties are evaluated at least annually for recoverability on a prospective basis. Indicators of potential impairment include, but are not limited to, changes brought about by economic factors, commodity price outlooks, our geologists’ evaluation of the property, favorable or unfavorable activity on the property being evaluated and/or adjacent properties, potential shifts in business strategy employed by management and historical experience. The likelihood of an impairment of unproved oil and gas properties increases as the expiration of a lease term approaches if drilling activity has not commenced. If it is determined that the Company does not intend to drill on the property prior to expiration or does not have the intent and ability to extend, renew, trade, or sell the lease prior to expiration, an impairment expense is recorded. Expense for lease expirations that were not previously impaired are recorded as the leases expire.

Exploration expense, which is associated primarily with lease expirations, was $8,298, $20,626 and $14,994 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included in Exploration and Production Related Other Costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

76

Impairment of Goodwill:

In connection with the Midstream Acquisition (as defined in Note 4 – Acquisitions and Dispositions), CNX recorded $796,359 of goodwill through the application of purchase accounting (See Note 9 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for more information). The goodwill recorded was allocated in its entirety to the Midstream reporting unit within the Shale segment.

Goodwill is the cost of an acquisition less the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquired business. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather it is evaluated for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if recent events or prevailing conditions indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. These indicators include, but are not limited to, overall financial performance, industry and market considerations, anticipated future cash flows and discount rates, changes in the stock price with regards to CNX, regulatory and legal developments, and other relevant factors.

In connection with the annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment or earlier if an impairment indicator is identified, CNX may first consider qualitative factors to assess whether there are indicators that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit may not exceed its carrying amount. If after assessing such factors or circumstances, CNX determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, then a quantitative assessment is not required. If CNX chooses to bypass the qualitative assessment, or if it chooses to perform a qualitative assessment but is unable to qualitatively conclude that no impairment has occurred, then CNX will perform a quantitative assessment. In the case of a quantitative assessment, CNX estimates the fair value of the reporting unit with which the goodwill is associated using level 3 inputs and compares it to the carrying value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized for the excess of the reporting unit's carrying value over its fair value. The Company uses a combination of the income approach (generally a discounted cash flow method) and market approach (which may include the guideline public company method and/or the guideline transaction method) to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit.

The income approach is used to estimate value based on the present value of future economic benefits that are expected to be produced by an asset or business entity. This approach generally involves two general steps:

(i) The first step involves establishing a forecast of the estimated future net cash flows expected to accrue directly or indirectly to the owner of the asset over its remaining useful life or to the owner of the business entity (including a reporting unit).

(ii) The second step involves discounting these estimated future net cash flows to their present value using a market rate of return.

CNX determines the fair value based on estimated future revenues and earnings before deducting net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) and income taxes (EBITDA - a non-GAAP financial measure), and also includes estimates for capital expenditures, discounted to present value using an industry rate adjusted for company-specific risk, which management feels reflects the overall level of inherent risk of the reporting unit. These assumptions are affected by expectations about future market, industry and economic conditions. Cash flow projections are derived from board approved budgeted amounts and require us to make projections and assumptions for many years into the future for demand, competition and operating costs, among other variables. Subsequent cash flows are developed using growth or contraction rates that management believes are reasonably likely to occur.

The estimates of future cash flows and EBITDA are subjective in nature and are subject to impacts from business risks as described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Form 10-K. The fair value estimation process requires considerable judgment and determining the fair value is sensitive to changes in assumptions impacting management’s estimates of future financial results. Although CNX believes the estimates and assumptions used in estimating the fair value are reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact the estimated fair value. Future results could differ from our current estimates and assumptions.

For the Company’s annual impairment assessment during the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company elected to perform a qualitative impairment test on its goodwill and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded the carrying value and goodwill was not impaired.

In connection with CNX's assessment of goodwill in the first quarter of 2020 in relation to the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions, and the decline in the observable market value of CNXM securities both in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and the overall decline in the master limited partnership (MLP) market space, an impairment indicator was identified. CNX bypassed the qualitative assessment and performed a quantitative test that utilized a combination of the

77

income and market approaches to estimate the fair value of the Midstream reporting unit. As a result of this assessment, CNX concluded that the carrying value exceeded its estimated fair value, and as a result, an impairment of $473,045 was included in Impairment of Goodwill in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Impairment of Definite-Lived Intangible Assets:

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives and they are reviewed for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. Other intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships which are amortized on a straight-line basis over approximately 17 years.

Income Taxes:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year and the change in deferred taxes, excluding the effects of acquisitions during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax benefit will not be realized.

CNX evaluates all tax positions taken on the state and federal tax filings to determine if the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. For positions that do not meet the more likely than not to be sustained criteria, the Company determines, on a cumulative probability basis, the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. A previously recognized tax position is reversed when it is subsequently determined that a tax position no longer meets the more likely than not threshold to be sustained. The evaluation of the sustainability of a tax position and the probable amount that is more likely than not is based on judgment, historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates, that are not readily apparent from other sources, form the basis for recognizing an uncertain tax position liability. Actual results could differ from those estimates upon subsequent resolution of identified matters.

Asset Retirement Obligations:

CNX accrues the costs to dismantle and remove gas-related facilities upon exhaustion of mineral reserves and related surface reclamation using the accounting treatment prescribed by the Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This topic requires the fair value of an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Estimates are regularly reviewed by management and are revised for changes in future estimated costs and regulatory requirements. The present value of the estimated asset retirement costs is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. Amortization of the capitalized asset retirement cost is generally determined on a units-of-production basis. Accretion of the asset retirement obligation is recognized over time and generally will escalate over the life of the producing asset, typically as production declines. Accretion is included in Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Investment Plan:

CNX has an investment plan that is available to most employees. Throughout the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Company's matching contribution was 6% of eligible compensation contributed by eligible employees. The Company may also make discretionary contributions to the Plan ranging from 1% to 6% of eligible compensation for eligible employees (as defined by the Plan). There were no such discretionary contributions made by CNX for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. Total matching contribution payments and costs were $3,187, $2,937 and $2,976 for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Revenue Recognition:

Revenues are recognized when the recognition criteria of ASC 606 are met, which generally occurs at the point in which title passes to the customers. For natural gas, NGL and oil revenue, this occurs at the contractual point of delivery. For revenues generated from natural gas gathering services provided to third parties, this occurs when obligations under the terms of the contract with the shipper are satisfied.

CNX sells a portion of its natural gas to accommodate the delivery points of its customers. In general, this gas is purchased at market price and re-sold on the same day at market price less a small transaction fee. These matching buy/sell

78

transactions include a legal right of offset of obligations and have been simultaneously entered into with the counterparty. These transactions qualify for netting under the Nonmonetary Transactions Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and are, therefore, recorded net within the Consolidated Statements of Income in the Purchased Gas Revenue line.

CNX purchases natural gas produced by third parties at market prices less a fee. The gas purchased from third parties is then resold to end users or gas marketers at current market prices. These revenues and expenses are recorded gross as Purchased Gas Revenue and Purchase Gas Costs, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Purchased gas revenue is recognized when title passes to the customer. Purchased gas costs are recognized when title passes to CNX from the third party.

Contingencies:

From time to time, CNX, or its subsidiaries, are 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. Liabilities are recorded when it is probable that obligations have been incurred and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Estimates are developed through consultation with legal counsel involved in the defense of these matters and are based upon the nature of the lawsuit, progress of the case in court, view of legal counsel, prior experience in similar matters and management's intended response. Environmental liabilities are not discounted or reduced by possible recoveries from third parties. Legal fees associated with defending these various lawsuits and claims are expensed when incurred.

Stock-Based Compensation:

Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Compensation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. CNX recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the award's vesting term. See Note 15 – Stock-Based Compensation for more information.

Derivative Instruments:

CNX enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rate volatility. These swaps change the variable-rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed cash flows. The changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis with the changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings.

CNX enters into financial derivative instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price volatility. Natural gas commodity hedges are accounted for on a mark-to-market basis with changes in fair value recorded in current period earnings.

None of the Company's counterparty master agreements currently require CNX to post collateral for any of its positions. However, as stated in the counterparty master agreements, if CNX's obligations with any of its counterparties cease to be secured on the same basis as similar obligations with the other lenders under the credit facility, CNX would be required to post collateral for instruments in a liability position in excess of defined thresholds. All of the Company's derivative instruments are subject to master netting arrangements with the counterparties. CNX recognizes all financial derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis, generally measured based upon Level 2 inputs, which is further described in Note 18 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Each of the Company's counterparty master agreements allows, in the event of default, the ability to elect early termination of outstanding contracts. If early termination is elected, CNX and the applicable counterparty would net settle all open hedge positions.

CNX is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by counterparties. The creditworthiness of counterparties is subject to continuing review. The Company has not experienced any issues of non-performance by derivative counterparties.

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. No material recognized or non-recognizable subsequent events were identified.

NOTE 2—EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income or net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly to basic earnings per share, except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include, if dilutive, additional shares from stock options, restricted stock units, performance share units and shares issuable upon conversion of CNX's outstanding 2.25% convertible senior notes due May 2026 (“the Convertible Notes”) (See Note 12 – Long-Term Debt). The number of additional shares is calculated by assuming that outstanding stock options were exercised, that outstanding restricted stock units and performance share units were released, that the shares that are issuable from the conversion of the Convertible Notes are issued (subject to the considerations discussed further in the paragraph below), and that the proceeds from such activities were used to acquire shares of common stock at the average market price during the reporting period. In periods when CNX recognizes a net loss, the impact of outstanding stock awards and the potential share settlement impact related to CNX’s Convertible Notes are excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.

Pursuant to the Merger (See Note 4 – Acquisitions and Dispositions for more information), all outstanding phantom units previously granted under the CNXM long-term incentive plan were converted into the right to receive 0.88 shares of common stock of CNX. As such, all outstanding phantom units were converted, effective as of the closing of the Merger, into CNX restricted stock units. Each CNX restricted stock unit is subject to the same vesting, forfeiture and other terms and conditions applicable to the converted CNXM phantom units. Under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, it was determined that there was no additional compensation cost to record as the conversion of awards did not result in incremental fair value. CNXM's dilutive units did not have a material impact on the Company's earnings per share calculations for the period from January 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020.

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 Years Ended December 31,

The Convertible Notes, if converted by the holder, may be settled in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination thereof, at the Company's election. The Company expects to settle the principal amount of the Convertible Notes in cash. ASU 2020-06 amended the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method (See Note 12 – Long-Term Debt for more information). The if-converted method assumes the conversion of convertible instruments occurs at the beginning of the reporting period and diluted weighted average shares outstanding includes the common shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible instruments. In periods where CNX recognizes net income, the conversion spread has a dilutive impact on diluted earnings per share when the average market price of the Company’s common stock for a given period exceeds the initial conversion price of $12.84 per share for the Convertible Notes. In connection with the Convertible Notes’ issuance, the Company entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain counterparties (the “Capped Calls” and “Capped Call Transactions”), which were not included in calculating the number of diluted shares outstanding, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3—REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS:

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has elected to exclude all taxes from the measurement of transaction price.

For natural gas, NGL and oil, and purchased gas revenue, the Company generally considers the delivery of each unit (MMBtu or Bbl) to be a separate performance obligation that is satisfied upon delivery. Payment terms for these contracts typically require payment within 25 days of the end of the calendar month in which the hydrocarbons are delivered. A significant number of these contracts contain variable consideration because the payment terms refer to market prices at future delivery dates. In these situations, the Company has not identified a standalone selling price because the terms of the variable payments relate specifically to the Company’s efforts to satisfy the performance obligations. A portion of the contracts contain fixed consideration (i.e. fixed price contracts or contracts with a fixed differential to NYMEX or index prices). The fixed consideration is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis, which requires judgment from management. For these contracts, the Company generally concludes that the fixed price or fixed differentials in the

81

contracts are representative of the standalone selling price. Revenue associated with natural gas, NGL and oil as presented on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income represent the Company’s share of revenues net of royalties and excluding revenue interests owned by others. When selling natural gas, NGL and oil on behalf of royalty owners or working interest owners, the Company is acting as an agent and thus reports the revenue on a net basis.

Included in Other Revenue and Operating Income in the Consolidated Statements of Income and in the below table are revenues generated from natural gas gathering services provided to third parties. The gas gathering services are interruptible in nature and include charges for the volume of gas actually gathered and do not guarantee access to the system. Volumetric based fees are based on actual volumes gathered. The Company generally considers the interruptible gathering of each unit (MMBtu) of natural gas as a separate performance obligation. Payment terms for these contracts typically require payment within 25 days of the end of the calendar month in which the hydrocarbons are gathered.

Disaggregation of Revenue:

The following table is a disaggregation of revenue by major source:

Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

Other Sources of Revenue and Other Operating Income:

The disaggregated revenue information corresponds with the Company’s segment reporting found in Note 21 – Segment Information.

Contract Balances:

CNX invoices its customers once a performance obligation has been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, CNX's contracts with customers do not give rise to material contract assets or liabilities under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606. The Company has no contract assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations:

ASC 606 requires that the Company disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price that is allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied. However, the guidance provides certain practical expedients that limit this requirement, including when variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or to a wholly unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a series.

A significant portion of CNX's natural gas, NGL and oil and purchased gas revenue is short-term in nature with a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, CNX has utilized the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14 exempting the Company from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

For revenue associated with contract terms greater than one year, a significant portion of the consideration in those contracts is variable in nature and the Company allocates the variable consideration in its contract entirely to each specific performance obligation to which it relates. Therefore, any remaining variable consideration in the transaction price is allocated

82

entirely to wholly unsatisfied performance obligations. As such, the Company has not disclosed the value of unsatisfied performance obligations pursuant to the practical expedient.

For natural gas, NGL and oil revenue associated with contract terms greater than one year with a fixed price component, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $36,322 as of December 31, 2022. The Company expects to recognize net revenue of $18,275 in the next 12 months and $14,588 over the following 12 months, with the remainder recognized thereafter.

For revenue associated with CNX's midstream contracts, which also have terms greater than one year, the interruptible gathering of each unit of natural gas represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied, and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required.

Prior-Period Performance Obligations:

CNX records revenue in the month production is delivered to the purchaser. However, settlement statements for certain natural gas, NGL and oil revenue may not be received for 30 to 90 days after the date production is delivered, and as a result, the Company is required to estimate the amount of production delivered to the purchaser and the price that will be received for the sale of the product. CNX records the differences between the estimate and the actual amounts received in the month that payment is received from the purchaser. The Company has existing internal controls for its revenue estimation process and the related accruals, and any identified differences between its revenue estimates and the actual revenue received historically have not been significant. For each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, revenue recognized in the current reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior a reporting period was not material.

NOTE 4—ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS:

On July 26, 2020, CNX entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with CNXM, CNX Midstream GP LLC (the “General Partner”) and CNX Resources Holding LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of CNX (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into CNXM with CNXM surviving as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of CNX (the “Merger”). On September 28, 2020, the Merger was completed and CNX issued 37,054,223 shares of common stock to acquire the 42,107,071 common units of CNXM not owned by CNX prior to the Merger at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.88 shares of CNX common stock for each CNXM common unit, for total implied consideration of $384,623. As a result of the Merger, CNXM’s common units are no longer publicly traded.

Except for the Class B units of CNXM, which were automatically canceled immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger for no consideration in accordance with CNXM’s partnership agreement, the interests in CNXM owned by CNX and its subsidiaries remain outstanding as limited partner interests in the surviving entity. The General Partner will continue to own the non-economic general partner interest in the surviving entity.

Because CNX controlled CNXM prior to the Merger and continues to control CNXM after the Merger, CNX accounted for the change in its ownership interest in CNXM as an equity transaction which was reflected as a reduction of noncontrolling interest with corresponding increases to common stock and capital in excess of par value. No gain or loss was recognized in its condensed consolidated statements of operations as a result of the Merger.

The tax effects of the Merger were reported as adjustments to deferred income taxes and capital in excess of par value.

Prior to the effective time of the Merger on September 28, 2020, public unitholders held a 46.9% equity interest in CNXM and CNX owned the remaining 53.1% equity interest. The earnings of CNXM that were attributed to its common units held by the public prior to the Merger are reflected in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Statements of Income. There were no changes in CNX's ownership interest in CNXM during the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2021.

CNXM’s revolving credit facility (See Note 10 – Revolving Credit Facilities) and the CNXM Senior Notes due March 2026 (See Note 12 – Long-Term Debt) were not impacted by the Merger.

The Company incurred $11,271 of transaction costs directly attributable to the Merger during the year ended December 31, 2020, including financial advisory, legal service and other professional fees, which were recorded to Other Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

NOTE 5—STOCK REPURCHASE:

On January 26, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the aggregate amount of the previous $750,000 stock repurchase program plan to $900,000, and on October 25, 2021, the Board of Directors approved an additional increase in the aggregate amount of the stock repurchase program to $1,900,000. As of December 31, 2022 the amount available under the stock repurchase program is $446,808 and is not subject to an expiration date. The repurchases may be effected from time-to-time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, Rule 10b5-1 plans, accelerated stock repurchases, block trades, derivative contracts or otherwise in compliance with Rule 10b-18. The timing of any repurchases will be based on a number of factors, including available liquidity, the Company's stock price, the Company's financial outlook, and alternative investment options. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares and the Board may modify, suspend, or discontinue its authorization of the program at any time. The Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the size of the stock repurchase program based on CNX's free cash flow position, leverage ratio, and capital plans.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, 33,526,226 shares were repurchased and retired at an average price of $16.93 per share for a total cost of $568,128. During the year ended December 31, 2021, 18,284,598 shares were repurchased and retired at an average price of $13.17 per share for a total cost of $241,243. During the year ended December 31, 2020, 4,138,527 shares were repurchased and retired at an average price of $10.43 per share for a total cost of $43,247.

The components of the net deferred taxes are as follows:

Convertible Note Amortization 5,080 —

Deferred Tax Liabilities:

Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets (44,238) (14,985)

Discount on Convertible Notes — (15,864)

Deferred taxes are recorded for certain tax benefits, including net operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards, if management assesses the utilization of those assets to be more likely than not. A valuation allowance is required when it is not more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will be realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative, must be considered in determining the need for a valuation allowance. Positive evidence considered included financial earnings generated over the past three years for certain subsidiaries, reversals of financial to tax temporary differences and the implementation of and/or ability to employ various tax planning strategies. Negative evidence includes financial and tax losses generated in prior periods and the inability to achieve forecasted results for those periods.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has a deferred tax asset related to federal net operating losses of $187,154. The pre-2018 federal net operating losses will expire at various times between 2034 and 2037. Because of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) enacted on December 22, 2017 and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act enacted on March 27, 2020, the federal net operating losses (NOLs) generated in 2018 - 2021 do not expire but may only offset 80% of taxable income in any tax years beginning after 2020.

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has $34,317 and $33,034, respectively, of federal tax credits available to offset future federal tax. These credits expire between 2032 and 2042.

A valuation allowance on foreign tax credits of $7,738 and $39,404 has also been recorded at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These credits are fully valued because the Company does not expect income of the correct character to use

85

the credits before they expire. The valuation allowance was decreased by $31,666 in 2022 due to the expiration of a portion of the credits. The remaining foreign tax credits expire in 2023.

CNX has, on an after federal tax basis, a deferred tax asset related to state operating losses of $82,189 with a related valuation allowance of $76,871 at December 31, 2022. The deferred tax asset related to state operating losses, on an after-tax adjusted basis, was $128,592 with a related valuation allowance of $112,298 at December 31, 2021. A review of positive and negative evidence regarding these state tax attributes concluded that the valuation allowances for various CNX subsidiaries was warranted.

Pennsylvania enacted legislation in July 2022 that, among other things, gradually reduced the corporate net income tax rate over the next several years beginning in 2023 to 8.99% to ultimately 4.99% in 2031. The Company revised the deferred state income tax rates and apportionment factors for several states to reflect, among other things, the recent Pennsylvania rate reduction resulting in a benefit to income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The deferred tax benefit is also offset by an increase in deferred taxes relating to valuation allowance assertions against various state net operating losses due to the tax accounting treatment of unrealized losses on commodity derivative instruments.
