This presentation contains statements, estimates and projections which are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the SecuritiesExchange Act of 1934, as amended). Statements that are not historical are forward-looking, and include, without limitation, projections andestimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and the future production, revenues, income and capital spending of CONSOLEnergy, Inc.

When we use the words “anticipate,”“believe,” “could,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” or their negatives, or other similarexpressions, the statements which include those words are usually forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve risks anduncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those statements, plans, estimates and projections. Accordingly, investorsshould not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of future actual results. We have based these forward-lookingstatements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations andassumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingenciesand uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Factors that could cause future actual results todiffer materially from the forward-looking statements include risks, contingencies and uncertainties that are described in detail under the captions“Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in our public filings with the Securities and ExchangeCommission.

Earnings Results

(1) “Average cash cost per ton sold” & “average cash margin per ton sold” are operating ratios derived from non-GAAP financial measures, each of which are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the appendix.

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see the appendix for a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation to net income.(3) Organic Free Cash Flow Net to CEIX Shareholders, a non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as Net Cash Provided by Operations less Capital Expenditures, less Distributions to Noncontrolling

Significant Opportunities in Improving Export Markets

Growing demand from India and other developing countries has created new opportunities for NAPP coal and pulled traditional

Selectively pursue open market equity (CEIX common shares and CCR units) and debt repurchases under the previously announced Board authorization

Improve return on capital over time through disciplined capital allocation

Maintain strong liquidity

Disciplined use of

capital

Strong liquidity position of $496 million including $250 million of cash and cash equivalents provides flexibility in volatile commodity markets

CEIX cash flow expected to be augmented by CCR via pro rata distributions to unitholders (on ~60% ownership interest), interest payments and any potential principal paydown on Affiliate Loan

Expecting to further improve cash flows due to the implementation of tax reform

Continue to operate assets with disciplined approach to capital expenditures

Evaluate other investment opportunities in light of cost of capital, B/S and sector and commodity price outlook

Ability to fund opportunistic, and accretive growth investments while maintaining leverage targets

Greenfield reserves provide attractive monetization opportunities for efficient growth through asset sales and JVs

(1) Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less capital expenditures

Some numbers may not foot due to rounding.

(1) “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Bank EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Attributable to CONSOL Energy Shareholders” and “EBITDA Per Affiliated Company Credit Agreement” are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the appendix for a reconciliation to net income.

(2) Adjusted Method is based on “Adjusted EBITDA” and Bank Method is based on “Bank EBITDA”. Please see the Disclaimer for a definition of “Bank EBITDA”.(3) See appendix for a reconciliation.(4) Calculated as consolidated net debt of ~$634 million less the 38.7% public ownership of CCR’s Affiliate Loan of $167 million.(5) TLB requires CEIX to make a mandatory prepayment of outstanding principal when CEIX has “excess cash flow” (which is defined in the credit facility documents filed with the SEC). Refer to slide 24.(6) Calculated as CEIX cash and equivalents of $250 million as of 9/30/2018 less CCR cash and equivalents of $1 million as of 9/30/2018.

Debt Repayment/Equity Purchase Update and 1Q19 TLB Sweep

Note: Chart values in millions except leverage ratios.Debt repayment excludes capital lease principal payments of $11 million YTD September 30, 2018.

For the nine months-ended September 30, 2018, CEIX has reduced total debt by $50 million through payments on TLA /TLB and repurchases of outstanding CEIX second lien debt.

For the nine months-ended September 30, 2018, CEIX has purchased CEIX common shares of $11 million and CCRcommon units of more than $1 million.

As of September 30, 2018, $397 million in principal, less $7 million of unamortized bond discount, was outstanding underCEIX’s TLB.

TLB requires CEIX to make a mandatory prepayment of outstanding principal when CEIX has “excess cash flow” (which isdefined in the credit facility documents filed with the SEC).

For fiscal year 2018, such repayment shall be equal to 75% of the Company’s excess cash flow for 2018 less any voluntaryprepayments of its borrowings under the TLB Facility made by the Company, if any, during 2018. If this covenant wasapplicable as of September 30, 2018, management estimates the repayment under this covenant would be approximately$100 million, subject to fourth quarter performance and other discretionary uses of cash.

CEIX must make any required prepayment of excess cash flow on TLB no later than 10 business days after it reports itsannual results for an applicable year.

Return on Capital Highlights the Need for Rising Commodity Prices

The goal is to raise CEIX’s Return on Capital over time while lowering its WACC.

Focused on margins and corporate returns instead of just growth.

Low production decline coal assets vs. very steep initial decline for the natural gas shale assets.

Ability to export a high percentage of production to capture the highest BTU value chain.

Use our free cash flow generation to improve our cost of capital and increase returns to shareholders over time.

Source: CONSOL Energy Inc. management and Factset(1) CEIX return on capital has been adjusted to exclude legacy liability expense in the numerator as it is already captured as a liability in the denominator. Return on capital is an operating ratio derived

from a non-GAAP financial measure which is reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the appendix.(2) Calculated as the weighted average interest expense for TLA, TLB, 2nd Lien Notes and Baltimore Bonds multiplied by their respective interest rates. Assumed LIBOR of 2.25% for TLA and TLB.(3) Return on capital for E&P is defined as EBIT/(Total Assets – Current Liabilities). No adjustment has been made to exclude E&P group companies’ legacy liability expense.(4) Comparable E&P universe = CHK, COG, RRC, SWN, EQT, REP, EOG, AR, and GPOR.

CEIX Peer Valuation vs API#2 and Coking Coal Price Performance

Source: FactSetNote: Peer group includes: ARCH, BTU, HCC, CLD, ARLP, FELP, HNRG and CNTE. CEIX not included.

Consensus is based on analyst EBITDA forecasts of then-listed peers for each period.

While the coal landscape has evolved over time, there are many similarities to the early 2000s.

Peer coal companies’ balance sheets are much healthier today than they were historically.

Valuations do not reflect the full potential of undeveloped reserves and the use of significant free cash flow generation.

We believe that the coal sector has significant upside from current levels.
