EQT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Financial Statements
Nature of Operations. EQT Corporation is an integrated natural gas company with production, gathering and transmission operations focused in the Appalachian Basin.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, references to "EQT" refer to EQT Corporation and references to the "Company" refer to EQT Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, collectively, in each case unless otherwise noted or indicated.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, results of operations and changes in equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. In addition, as discussed further in Note 2, certain prior period amounts have been recast to reflect the Company's change in reportable segments from one reportable segment to three reportable segments consisting of Production, Gathering and Transmission.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in EQT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Principles of Consolidation and Noncontrolling Interests. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of EQT and all subsidiaries, ventures and partnerships in which EQT directly or indirectly holds a controlling interest and variable interest entities for which EQT is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company records noncontrolling interest in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for any non-wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information. The following table summarizes net cash paid for interest and income taxes and non-cash activity included in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows.

EQT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to improve income tax disclosure requirements. Under this ASU, public business entities must annually (i) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (ii) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2023-09 to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, to improve the disclosures about a public business entity's expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion) in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales; selling, general and administrative expense; and research and development). This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The requirements should be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
2. Financial Information by Business Segment
Prior to the completion of the Equitrans Midstream Merger (defined in Note 11), the Company's operations consisted of one reportable segment. Historically, the Company administered all properties as a whole rather than by discrete operating segments and measured financial performance as a single enterprise.
As a result of the completion of the Equitrans Midstream Merger, the Company adjusted its internal reporting structure and the Company's chief operating decision maker, Toby Rice, President and Chief Executive Officer, changed the manner in which he measures financial performance and allocates resources to incorporate the gathering and transmission assets acquired by the Company in the Equitrans Midstream Merger. Hence, the Company's operations expanded to comprise three discrete operating segments reflective of its three lines of business consisting of Production, Gathering and Transmission.
The Company's Production segment comprises the Company's natural gas, NGLs and oil extraction, development and production business and supporting operations. The Company's Gathering segment owns and operates the Company's gathering system, which has extensive overlap with the Company's Production segment operations, and processing facility. The Company's Transmission segment operates the Company's Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulated, interstate transmission and storage system, which has multiple interconnect points to other interstate pipelines and local distribution companies. In addition, the Transmission segment holds the Company's investment in the MVP Joint Venture (defined in Note 8). Certain amounts, including cash and cash equivalents, debt, income taxes and other amounts related to the Company's headquarters function as well as amounts related to the Company's energy transition initiatives are managed on a consolidated basis and, as such, have not been allocated to the Company's segments and have been presented as "Other."
As a result of the Company's change in reportable segments from one reportable segment to three reportable segments, certain prior period amounts have been recast.
The accounting policies of the Company's segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in EQT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
For all of the Company's segments, the chief operating decision maker uses operating income as the profitability metric to measure financial performance and allocate resources. The chief operating decision maker considers actual-to-forecast variances for operating income when allocating capital and personnel to the Company's segments and compares operating income and return on assets of each segment to assess segment performance. In addition to operating income, the chief operating decision maker reviews equity earnings recognized from, and the carrying value of the Company's investment in, the MVP Joint Venture when measuring the financial performance of, and allocating resources to, the Company's Transmission segment.
Substantially all of the Company's operating revenues and assets are generated and located in the United States.

3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Sales of natural gas, NGLs and oil. Under the Company's natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and oil sales contracts, the Company generally considers the delivery of each unit (million British thermal units (MMBtu) or barrel (Bbl)) to be a separate performance obligation that is satisfied upon delivery. These contracts typically require payment within 25 days of the end of the calendar month in which the commodity is 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. Other contracts, such as fixed price contracts or contracts with a fixed differential to New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) or index prices, contain fixed consideration. The Company allocates the fixed consideration 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 contracts are representative of the standalone selling price.
Based on management's judgment, the performance obligations for the sale of natural gas, NGLs and oil are satisfied at a point in time because the customer obtains control and legal title of the asset when the natural gas, NGLs or oil is delivered to the designated sales point.
EQT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The sales of natural gas, NGLs and oil presented in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations represent the Company's share of revenues net of royalties and exclude revenue interests owned by others. When selling natural gas, NGLs and oil on behalf of royalty or working interest owners, the Company acts as an agent and, thus, reports the revenue on a net basis.
Pipeline revenue. The Company provides gathering, transmission and storage services under firm and interruptible service contracts.
Firm service contracts generally require the customer to pay a firm reservation fee, which is a fixed, monthly fee to reserve an agreed upon amount of pipeline or storage capacity regardless of whether the customer uses the capacity. Under its firm service contracts, the Company has a stand-ready obligation to provide the firm service over the life of the contract. The performance obligation for revenue from firm reservation fees is satisfied over time as the pipeline capacity is made available to the customer. As such, the Company recognizes firm reservation fee revenue evenly over the contract period using a time-elapsed output method to measure progress.
Volumetric-based fees, which are charges based on the volume of gas gathered, transported or stored, can also be charged under firm service contracts for each firm contracted volume gathered, transported or stored as well as for volumes gathered, transported or stored in excess of the firm contracted volume so long as capacity exists.
Interruptible service contracts require the customer to pay volumetric-based fees and generally do not guarantee access to the pipeline or storage facility.
The performance obligation for revenue from volumetric-based fees is generally satisfied upon the Company's monthly invoicing to the customer for volumes gathered, transported or stored during the month. The amount invoiced generally corresponds directly to the value of the Company's performance to date as the customer obtains value as each volume is gathered, transported or stored. Gathering service contracts are invoiced on a one-month lag, with payment typically due within 21 days of the invoice date. Revenue for gathering services provided but not yet invoiced is estimated based on contract data, preliminary throughput and allocation measurements on a monthly basis. Transmission and storage service contracts are invoiced at the end of each calendar month, with payment typically due within 10 days of the invoice date.
For both firm reservation and volumetric-based fee revenues, the Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling price. Any excess of consideration received over revenue recognized results in the deferral of those amounts until future periods based on a units-of-production or straight-line methodology as these methods align with the consumption of services provided to the customer. The units-of-production methodology requires the use of judgment to estimate future production volumes.
Certain of the Company's gathering service agreements are structured with minimum volume commitments (MVCs), which specify minimum quantities that the customer will be charged regardless of whether such quantities are gathered. Revenue is recognized for MVCs when the performance obligation has been met, which is the earlier of when the gas is gathered or when the likelihood that the customer will be able to meet its MVC is remote. If a customer fails to meet its MVC for a specified period (thus not exercising all the contractual rights to gathering services within the specified period), the customer is obligated to pay a contractually-determined fee based on the shortfall between actual volume gathered and the MVC.

(a)July 1 through December 31.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had no remaining performance obligations on its natural gas sales contracts with fixed consideration.
Based on total projected contractual revenues, both the Company's firm gathering third-party contracts and firm transmission and storage third-party contracts had a weighted average remaining term of approximately 11 years as of June 30, 2025. Based on total projected contractual revenues, both the Company's firm gathering affiliate contracts and firm transmission and storage affiliate contracts had a weighted average remaining term of approximately 13 years as of June 30, 2025.
4. Derivative Instruments
The Company's primary market risk exposure is the volatility of future prices for natural gas and NGLs, which can affect the Company's operating results. The Company uses derivative commodity instruments to hedge its cash flows from sales of produced natural gas and NGLs. The overall objective of the Company's hedging program is to protect cash flows from undue exposure to the risk of changing commodity prices.
The derivative commodity instruments used by the Company are primarily swap, collar and option agreements. These agreements may result in payments to, or receipt of payments from, counterparties based on the differential between two prices for the commodity. The Company uses these agreements to hedge its NYMEX and basis exposure. The Company may also use other contractual agreements when executing its commodity hedging strategy. The Company typically enters into over the counter (OTC) derivative commodity instruments with financial institutions, and the creditworthiness of all counterparties is regularly monitored.
The Company does not designate any of its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges; therefore, all changes in fair value of the Company's derivative instruments are recognized in operating revenues in gain on derivatives in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on a gross basis. These derivative instruments are reported as either current assets or current liabilities due to their highly liquid nature. The Company can net settle its derivative instruments at any time.
EQT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Contracts that result in physical delivery of a commodity expected to be sold by the Company in the normal course of business are generally designated as normal sales and are exempt from derivative accounting. Contracts that result in the physical receipt or delivery of a commodity but are not designated or do not meet all of the criteria to qualify for the normal purchase and normal sale scope exception are subject to derivative accounting.
The Company's OTC derivative instruments generally require settlement in cash. The Company also enters into exchange traded derivative commodity instruments that are generally settled with offsetting positions. Settlements of derivative commodity instruments are reported as a component of cash flows from operating activities in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows.
With respect to the derivative commodity instruments held by the Company, the Company hedged portions of its expected sales of production and portions of its basis exposure covering approximately 1,042 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas and 6,218 thousand barrels (Mbbl) of NGLs as of June 30, 2025 and 2,189 Bcf of natural gas and 2,562 Mbbl of NGLs as of December 31, 2024. The open positions at both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 had maturities extending through December 2027.
Certain of the Company's OTC derivative instrument contracts provide that, if EQT's credit rating assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's), S&P Global Ratings (S&P) or Fitch Ratings Service (Fitch) is below the agreed-upon credit rating threshold (typically, below investment grade) and if the associated derivative liability exceeds the agreed-upon dollar threshold for such credit rating, the counterparty to such contract can require the Company to deposit collateral. Similarly, if such counterparty's credit rating assigned by Moody's, S&P or Fitch is below the agreed-upon credit rating threshold and if the associated derivative liability exceeds the agreed-upon dollar threshold for such credit rating, the Company can require the counterparty to deposit collateral with the Company. Such collateral can be up to 100% of the derivative liability. Investment grade refers to the quality of a company's credit as assessed by one or more credit rating agencies. To be considered investment grade, a company must be rated "Baa3" or higher by Moody's, "BBB–" or higher by S&P and "BBB–" or higher by Fitch. Anything below these ratings is considered non-investment grade. As of June 30, 2025, EQT's senior notes were rated "Baa3" by Moody's, "BBB–" by S&P and "BBB–" by Fitch.
When the net fair value of any of the Company's OTC derivative instrument contracts represents a liability to the Company that is in excess of the agreed-upon dollar threshold for the Company's then-applicable credit rating, the counterparty has the right to require the Company to remit funds as a margin deposit in an amount equal to the portion of the derivative liability that is in excess of the dollar threshold amount. The Company records these deposits as a current asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the aggregate fair value of the Company's OTC derivative instruments with credit rating risk-related contingent features in a net liability position was $45.3 million and $61.9 million, respectively, for which no deposits were required or recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
When the net fair value of any of the Company's OTC derivative instrument contracts represents an asset to the Company that is in excess of the agreed-upon dollar threshold for the counterparty's then-applicable credit rating, the Company has the right to require the counterparty to remit funds as a margin deposit in an amount equal to the portion of the derivative asset that is in excess of the dollar threshold amount. The Company records these deposits as a current liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no such deposits recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
When the Company enters into exchange traded natural gas contracts, exchanges may require the Company to remit funds to the corresponding broker as good-faith deposits to guard against the risks associated with changing market conditions. The Company is required to make such deposits based on an established initial margin requirement and the net liability position, if any, of the fair value of the associated contracts. The Company records these deposits as a current asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the fair value of such contracts is in a net asset position, the broker may remit funds to the Company. The Company records these deposits as a current liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The initial margin requirements are established by the exchanges based on the price, volatility and the time to expiration of the contract. The margin requirements are subject to change at the exchanges' discretion. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there was $79.5 million and $87.0 million, respectively, of such deposits recorded as a current asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

5. Fair Value Measurements
The Company records its financial instruments, which are principally derivative instruments, at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, the fair value is based on models that use market-based parameters, including forward curves, discount rates, volatilities and nonperformance risk, as inputs. Nonperformance risk considers the effect of the Company's credit standing on the fair value of liabilities and the effect of the counterparty's credit standing on the fair value of assets. The Company estimates nonperformance risk by analyzing publicly available market information, including a comparison of the yield on debt instruments with credit ratings similar to EQT's or the counterparty's credit rating and the yield on a risk-free instrument.
The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities recorded at fair value into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Assets and liabilities that use Level 2 inputs primarily include the Company's swap, collar and option agreements.
Exchange traded commodity swaps have Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the commodity swaps with Level 2 inputs is based on standard industry income approach models that use significant observable inputs, including, but not limited to, NYMEX natural gas forward curves, SOFR-based discount rates, basis forward curves and NGLs forward curves. The Company's collars and options are valued using standard industry income approach option models. The significant observable inputs used by the option pricing models include NYMEX forward curves, natural gas volatilities and SOFR-based discount rates.

The carrying value of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of borrowings under EQT's and Eureka Midstream, LLC's (Eureka) revolving credit facilities approximates fair value as each facility's interest rate is based on prevailing market rates. The Company considers all of these fair values to be Level 1 fair value measurements.
The Company estimates the fair value of its senior notes using established fair value methodology. Because not all of the Company's senior notes are actively traded, their fair value is a Level 2 fair value measurement. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company's senior notes had a fair value of approximately $8.2 billion and $8.8 billion, respectively, and a carrying value of approximately $8.0 billion and $8.9 billion, respectively, inclusive of any current portion. See Note 7 for further discussion of the Company's debt.
The Company recognizes transfers between Levels as of the actual date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the periods presented.
See Note 8 for a discussion of the fair value measurement of the Company's investment in the Investment Fund (defined in Note 8). See Note 11 herein and Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in EQT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of the fair value measurement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Equitrans Midstream Merger. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in EQT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of the fair value measurement of the assets received as consideration for the First NEPA Non-Operated Asset Divestiture (defined in Note 12). See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in EQT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of (i) the fair value measurement and impairment of the Company's property, plant and equipment, (ii) impairment of the Company's contract asset, investments in unconsolidated entities, net intangible assets and goodwill and (iii) fair value measurement of the Company's asset retirement obligations.

6. Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company calculated the provision for income taxes by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year to "ordinary" income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring items) for the period. Any refinements to prior period taxes made in the current period due to new information are reflected as adjustments in the current period. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, modest fluctuations in estimated ordinary income resulted in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate, which made the annual effective tax rate method unreliable; as such, the Company calculated the provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2024 using the discrete effective tax rate method. There were no material changes to the Company's methodology for determining unrecognized tax benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
The Midstream Joint Venture (defined in Note 9) and Eureka Midstream Holdings, LLC (Eureka Midstream Holdings), both of which are consolidated subsidiaries of the Company, are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes and are not separately subject to U.S. federal or state income taxes. The Midstream Joint Venture's and Eureka Midstream Holdings' income is included in the Company's pre-tax income; however, the Company does not record income tax expense on income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Midstream Joint Venture and Eureka Midstream Holdings, which reduces the Company's effective tax rate in periods when the Company has consolidated pre-tax income and increases the effective tax rate in periods when the Company has consolidated pre-tax losses.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense (benefit) at an effective tax rate of 21.1% and (21.6)%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was higher compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of state taxes, partly offset by the Midstream Joint Venture's and Eureka Midstream Holdings' income attributable to the noncontrolling interests and excess tax benefits from share-based payments. The Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was lower compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily as a result of the Company's utilization of some of its capital loss carryforwards with the capital gain generated from the First NEPA Non-Operated Asset Divestiture, which results in the release of the associated valuation allowance, as well as from excess tax benefits from share-based payments.
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act into law. The Company is evaluating the potential tax impacts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act on the Company.

EQM Exchange Offers. On February 24, 2025, the Company commenced private offers (the EQM Exchange Offers) to certain eligible holders of EQM's senior notes to exchange any and all outstanding notes issued by EQM (the Existing EQM Notes), including outstanding principal of EQM's 6.500% senior notes due 2027 that remained outstanding following settlement of the Tender Offers, for up to $4,541.8 million aggregate principal amount of new notes issued by EQT (the New EQT Notes) and cash consideration equal to $1.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Existing EQM Notes exchanged. Pursuant to the EQM Exchange Offers, for each $1,000 principal amount of Existing EQM Notes validly tendered on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 7, 2025 (the Early Tender Date), the holder thereof received $1,000 principal amount of New EQT Notes; for each $1,000 principal amount of Existing EQM Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 28, 2025 (as extended, the Expiration Date), the holder thereof received $950 principal of New EQT Notes.
On April 2, 2025, the Company issued approximately $3,868.9 million of New EQT Notes in exchange for the tender of approximately $3,869.5 million of Existing EQM Notes and paid to holders of the New EQT Notes cash consideration of approximately $3.9 million, which was capitalized as additional debt premium. In addition, the discount received by EQT from holders who validly tendered their Existing EQM Notes after the Early Tender Date but on or prior to the Expiration Date of approximately $0.6 million was capitalized as additional debt discount. In connection with the EQM Exchange Offers, the Company incurred non-lender expenses of approximately $8.6 million in loss on debt extinguishment in the Statement of Condensed Consolidated Operations during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The maturity date, interest rate and covenants of each New EQT Note are consistent with those of the corresponding Existing EQM Note exchanged.

(a)Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (the MVP Joint Venture) is a Delaware series limited liability company formed as a joint venture among (i) with respect to Series A, the Midstream Joint Venture and affiliates of NextEra Energy, Inc., Consolidated Edison, Inc., AltaGas Ltd. and RGC Resources, Inc. for the purpose of constructing, owning and operating the MVP (defined below); and (ii) with respect to Series B, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EQT and affiliates of NextEra Energy, Inc., AltaGas Ltd. and RGC Resources, Inc. for the purpose of constructing, owning and operating MVP Southgate (defined below).
(b)Laurel Mountain Midstream, LLC is a midstream company formed as a joint venture among a wholly-owned subsidiary of EQT, Williams Companies Inc. and certain other energy companies, to provide natural gas gathering and processing services.
The MVP. The Mountain Valley Pipeline (the MVP) is a 303-mile long, 42-inch diameter natural gas interstate pipeline with a total capacity of 2.0 Bcf per day that spans from the Company's transmission and storage system in Wetzel County, West Virginia to Pittsylvania County, Virginia. The MVP entered into service on June 14, 2024 and commenced long-term firm capacity obligations on July 1, 2024. A wholly-owned subsidiary of EQM is the operator of the MVP.
MVP Southgate. MVP Southgate is a contemplated interstate pipeline that was approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The pipeline was initially designed to extend approximately 75 miles from the MVP in Pittsylvania County, Virginia to new delivery points in Rockingham and Alamance Counties, North Carolina using 24-inch and 16-inch diameter pipe.
In December 2023, the MVP Joint Venture entered into precedent agreements with Public Service Company of North Carolina, Inc. and Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC that contemplate a modified project and, among other things, describe certain conditions precedent to the parties' respective obligations regarding MVP Southgate. As modified, the natural gas interstate pipeline would extend approximately 31 miles from the terminus of the MVP in Pittsylvania County, Virginia to planned new delivery points in Rockingham County, North Carolina using 30-inch diameter pipe and have a targeted capacity of 550,000 dekatherms per day. The proposed route passes through a portion of the Southern Virginia Mega Site at Berry Hill, which is one of the largest business parks on the East Coast.
On February 3, 2025, the MVP Joint Venture filed an application with the FERC seeking to amend its existing Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to reflect the amended project. The Company expects a wholly-owned subsidiary of EQM to operate MVP Southgate upon its completion, which is targeted for June 2028. MVP Southgate is estimated to have a total cost of approximately $370 million to $430 million, excluding allowance for funds used during construction and certain costs incurred for purposes of the originally certificated project, of which the Company will fund its proportionate share through capital contributions to the MVP Joint Venture.

9. Midstream Joint Venture
On September 24, 2024, the Company formed PipeBox LLC (the Midstream Joint Venture) as a wholly-owned subsidiary of EQM. On November 22, 2024, EQM entered into a contribution agreement (the Contribution Agreement) with an affiliate of Blackstone Credit & Insurance (the BXCI Affiliate).
On December 30, 2024, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, (i) EQM and certain of its affiliates contributed to the Midstream Joint Venture certain assets (including EQM's ownership interest in the MVP via EQM's Series A ownership interest in the MVP Joint Venture) in exchange for 364,285,715 Class A Units in the Midstream Joint Venture and (ii) the BXCI Affiliate contributed to the Midstream Joint Venture $3.5 billion of cash, net of certain transaction fees and expenses, in exchange for a noncontrolling equity interest of 350,000,000 Class B Units in the Midstream Joint Venture (such contributions, collectively, the Midstream Joint Venture Transaction).
In addition, on December 30, 2024, EQT (solely for the limited purposes set forth therein), EQM, the BXCI Affiliate and the Midstream Joint Venture entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of the Midstream Joint Venture (the JV Agreement). The JV Agreement provides, among other things, for the distribution of available cash flow to the Midstream Joint Venture's unitholders at least quarterly, with EQM, as Class A Unitholder, receiving 40% and the BXCI Affiliate, as Class B Unitholder, receiving 60% until the Base Return (as defined in the JV Agreement) is achieved. After the Base Return has been achieved and until the 8th anniversary of the closing of the Midstream Joint Venture Transaction of December 30, 2024, 100% of the Midstream Joint Venture's distributions, including in a liquidation or sale of the Midstream Joint Venture, will be distributed to EQM as Class A Unitholder and 0% will be distributed to the BXCI Affiliate as Class B Unitholder; after the Base Return has been achieved and from the 8th anniversary of December 30, 2024 and thereafter, no less than 95% of the Midstream Joint Venture's distributions, including in a liquidation or sale of the Midstream Joint Venture, will be distributed to EQM as Class A Unitholder, and up to 5% of the Midstream Joint Venture's distributions will be distributed to the BXCI Affiliate as Class B Unitholder (with specific distribution percentages determined based on the BXCI Affiliate's ownership of Class B Units as of the time of such distribution).
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Midstream Joint Venture paid $252.3 million of aggregate cash distributions, of which $152.0 million was paid to the BXCI Affiliate as Class B Unitholder. Distributions paid by the Midstream Joint Venture to EQM have been eliminated in consolidation.
Based on the governing provisions of the JV Agreement, EQT's management determined that the allocation of income between the Company and the BXCI Affiliate should be based on the change in the investor's claim on the Midstream Joint Venture's book value. Under this method, the Company recognizes net income/loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest based on changes to the amount that each member would hypothetically receive at each balance sheet date under the JV Agreement's liquidation provisions, assuming that the net assets of the Midstream Joint Venture were liquidated at the recorded amounts, after taking into account any capital transactions between the Company and the BXCI Affiliate.

EQT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Goodwill is attributable to the Company's qualitative assumptions of long-term value that the Equitrans Midstream Merger creates for EQT shareholders. Of the total goodwill, the Company attributed $1,232 million to synergies expected from the vertical integration of the business, including from the elimination of contracted transportation and processing costs with Equitrans Midstream as the Company is unable to recognize intangible assets related to its significant long-term customer contracts with Equitrans Midstream, as such contracts became intercompany transactions upon the closing of the Equitrans Midstream Merger. In addition, the Company attributed $831 million of total goodwill to additional deferred tax liabilities that arose from the differences between the purchase price allocation based on fair value and tax basis that carried over from Equitrans Midstream to the Company. The Company allocated all of the goodwill from the Equitrans Midstream Merger to the Company's Transmission segment.
See Note 5 for a description of the fair value hierarchy.
NEPA Gathering System Acquisition
In 2021, the Company acquired a 50% interest in and became the operator of certain gathering assets located in Northeast Pennsylvania (collectively, the NEPA Gathering System).
On April 11, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of a minority equity partner's 33.75% interest in the NEPA Gathering System for a purchase price of approximately $205 million (the NEPA Gathering System Acquisition), subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments. The NEPA Gathering System Acquisition was accounted for as an asset acquisition, and, as such, its purchase price was allocated to property, plant and equipment.
12. First NEPA Non-Operated Asset Divestiture
On May 31, 2024, the Company completed the divestiture (the First NEPA Non-Operated Asset Divestiture) of an undivided 40% interest in the Company's non-operated natural gas assets in northeast Pennsylvania to Equinor USA Onshore Properties Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, the Equinor Parties). In exchange, as consideration, the Company received from the Equinor Parties cash of $500 million, subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments, certain upstream assets and the remaining 16.25% equity interest in the NEPA Gathering System.
As a result of the First NEPA Non-Operated Asset Divestiture, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $320 million in loss (gain) on sale/exchange of long-lived assets in the Statements of Condensed Consolidated Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Cash proceeds from the First NEPA Non-Operated Asset Divestiture were used to partly fund the Company's redemption of EQT's 6.125% senior notes.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal and Regulatory Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, various legal and regulatory claims and proceedings are pending or threatened against the Company. While the amounts claimed may be substantial, the Company is unable to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of such claims and proceedings.
The Company evaluates its legal proceedings, including litigation and regulatory and governmental investigations and inquiries, on a regular basis and accrues a loss for such matters when the Company believes that it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In such cases, if some amount within a range of loss appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued; however, when no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. Any such accruals are adjusted thereafter as appropriate to reflect changed circumstances. In the event the Company determines that (i) it is probable that a liability has been incurred but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, or (ii) it is less than probable but reasonably possible that a liability has been incurred, then the Company may be required to disclose the matter in its Annual Report on Form 10-K with any update thereto in an applicable Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, although the Company is not permitted to accrue for such loss.
EQT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
When able, the Company determines an estimate of reasonably possible losses or ranges of reasonably possible losses, whether in excess of any related accrued loss or where there is no accrued loss, for legal proceedings. In instances where such estimates can be made, any such estimates are based on the Company's analysis of currently available information and are subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and uncertainties and may change as new information is obtained.
The ultimate outcome of the matters described or referenced below is inherently uncertain. Furthermore, due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and unpredictability of outcomes of legal proceedings, any amounts accrued or estimated as possible losses may not represent the ultimate loss to the Company from the legal proceedings in question and the Company's exposure and ultimate losses may be higher, and possibly significantly so, than the amounts accrued or estimated.
Securities Class Action Litigation. On December 6, 2019, an amended putative class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania by Cambridge Retirement System, Government of Guam Retirement Fund, Northeast Carpenters Annuity Fund, and Northeast Carpenters Pension Fund, on behalf of themselves and all those similarly situated, against EQT and certain former executives and current and former board members of EQT (the Securities Class Action). The complaint alleges that certain statements made by EQT regarding its merger with Rice Energy Inc. in 2017 were materially false and violated various federal securities laws. Pursuant to the complaint, the plaintiffs seek compensatory or rescissory damages in an unspecified amount for all damages allegedly sustained by the class as a result of alleged negative impacts to EQT's common stock price in 2018 and 2019.
Additionally, following the filing of the Securities Class Action complaint, several other lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania and the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania by certain shareholders of EQT against EQT and certain former executives and current and former board members of EQT asserting substantially the same allegations as those raised in the Securities Class Action. These matters are currently pending, and the majority of them have been stayed pending a ruling on dispositive motions in the Securities Class Action. The settlement of the Securities Class Action referred to below does not resolve these matters.
Following the commencement of the Securities Class Action, the parties engaged in fact and expert discovery. In June 2024, the discovery phase of the Securities Class Action was completed. On June 27, 2024, the parties to the Securities Class Action participated in a mediation (the June 2024 Mediation), which did not result in resolution. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an accrual for estimated loss contingencies related to the Securities Class Action in an amount equal to the settlement offer the Company tendered at the June 2024 Mediation of $17.5 million.
Following the June 2024 Mediation, the parties filed various motions, including motions for summary judgement and motions to exclude expert testimony. While these motions remained pending, on May 12, 2025, the parties to the Securities Class Action participated in a second mediation, at which it was agreed that the Company would pay $167.5 million to the plaintiffs to settle the Securities Class Action. The settlement does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing or liability by the Company or the other defendants, who have agreed to the settlement to avoid further protracted and expensive litigation. As a result of such settlement, which remains subject to court approval, in the second quarter of 2025, the Company recorded an increase to its accrual for estimated loss contingencies related to the Securities Class Action of $150 million, resulting in a total reserve of $167.5 million, which reflects the settlement agreed upon at the May 12, 2025 mediation and is presented in other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2025. The Company expects to recover approximately $16 million of the estimated loss amount through insurance.
See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for additional discussion of the Company's commitments and contingencies, including certain other pending legal and regulatory proceedings and other contingent matters. As of June 30, 2025, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes to such matters disclose therein.
