Cautionary Language

2

This presentation contains statements, estimates and projections which are forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Statements that are not historical, are forward-looking, and include our operational and strategic plans; estimates of coal and gas reserves and resources; the projected timing and rates of return of future investments; and projections and estimates of future production, revenues, income and capital spending. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those statements, plans, estimates and projections. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of future actual results. Factors that could cause future actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include risks, contingencies and uncertainties that relate to, among other matters, the following: we may not receive the prices we expect to receive for our natural gas, natural gas liquids, and coal, including due to oversupply relative to the demand available for our products; we may not obtain on a timely basis the permits required for drilling and mining; we may not accurately estimate the volume of hydrocarbons that are recoverable from our oil and natural gas assets; we may encounter unexpected operational issues or disruptions when we drill and mine, including equipment failures, geological conditions, and higher than expected costs for equipment, supplies, services and labor, including with respect to third-party contractors; we may not achieve the efficiencies we expect to realize in our drilling and completion operations, and as a result, our projected cost savings may not be fully realized; our participation in joint ventures may restrict our operational and corporate flexibility, and actions taken by a joint venture partner may impact our financial position and operational results; with respect to the termination of the joint venture with Noble, any disruption to our business, including customer and supplier relationships resulting from this transaction, and the impact of the transaction on our future operating and financial results; we may not be able to sell non-core assets on acceptable terms; acquisitions and divestitures that we anticipate making or have made may not occur or produce anticipated benefits, or may cause disruptions to our business operations; we may be subject to environmental and other government regulations that adversely impact our operating costs and the market for our natural gas and coal; failure by Murray Energy to satisfy liabilities it acquired from us, or failure to perform its obligations under various arrangements, which we guaranteed, could materially or adversely affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flows; we may be unable to incur indebtedness on reasonable terms; provisions in our multi-year coal sales contracts may provide limited protection and may result in economic penalties to us or permit the customer to terminate the contract; the majority of our common units in CNX Coal Resources LP are subordinated, and we may not receive related distributions; and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Additional factors are described in detail under the captions "Forward Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in CONSOL Energy Inc.’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as updated by any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Qs. The forward-looking statements in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation; we disclaim any obligation to update the statements, and we caution you not to rely on them unduly. Currently, the SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible oil and gas reserves that a company anticipates as of a given date to be economically and legally producible and deliverable by application of development projects to known accumulations. We may use certain terms in this presentation, such as EUR (estimated ultimate recovery), unproved reserves and total resource potential, that the SEC's rules strictly prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. We caution you that the SEC views such estimates as inherently unreliable and these estimates may be misleading to investors unless the investor is an expert in the natural gas industry. These measures are by their nature more speculative than estimates of reserves prepared in accordance with SEC definitions and guidelines and accordingly are less certain. We also note that the SEC strictly prohibits us from aggregating proved, probable and possible reserves in filings with the SEC due to the different levels of certainty associated with each reserve category. Except for proved reserve data, the information included in this presentation is based on a summary review of the title to the gas rights we hold. As is customary in the gas industry, prior to the commencement of natural gas drilling operations on our properties, we conduct a thorough title examination and perform curative work with respect to significant defects. We are typically responsible for curing any title defects at our expense. As a result of our title review or otherwise, we may be required to acquire property rights from third parties at our expense in order to effectively drill and produce the gas rights we control and third parties may participate in the wells we drill, thereby reducing our working interest in those wells. This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of offers to buy securities of CONSOL Energy Inc. or CNX Coal Resources LP.

Weathered Downturn Without Issuing Equity

5

Since the beginning of 2014, total follow-on equity issued by Appalachian peers totaled $10.6 billion:

• All seven Appalachian peers have issued follow-on equity since the beginning of 2014

• CONSOL was able to de-lever the balance sheet and improve liquidity through organically growing free cash flow (FCF) and monetizing assets

• Avoiding issuing equity has resulted in not diluting shareholders and providing further upside potential

Stacked pay development improves IRR by 10-20 percentage points

• Marginal horizons may be pulled into the development plan due to stacked pay economic improvement

• Stacked pay development concentrates large-scale operations in a small footprint

• Concurrently developing two horizons enables cost effective infrastructure build-out for both plays

• Significant reduction in both lifting and gathering operating costs due to higher volumes

Total Legacy Liabilities Total Annual Legacy Liabilities Cash Servicing Cost

Note: 12/31/16 liability balance includes approximately $27 million and $40 million in employee-related and environmental liabilities associated with Pennsylvania Mining Operation (PAMC), respectively. Future EBITDA loss and cash servicing costs related to these liabilities will run through the PAMC segment financial detail and therefore the cash servicing costs and EBITDA loss related to these liabilities are excluded from the 2017 & 2018 forecast presented above. For FY 2017, the cash servicing costs associated with PAMC long-term liabilities are forecasted to approximate $8 million, while the EBITDA loss associated thereto is forecasted to approximate $12 million. Excludes gas well closing.

Financial Outlook: NAV/Share Value Drivers Accelerating

We expect growth while generating free cash flow:

• Stringent focus on capital allocation to drive the highest NAV per share decisions

• Become a leader in capital allocation, when compared to the best global companies

• Invest when rates of return are meaningfully higher than the cost of capital

• Reduce capital intensity across the whole enterprise

We have improved transparency and predictability:

• Extending out public forecasts across all business units

• Providing the tools to build out the NAV of the company

- Asset development provides 22 years of core development with large upside – JV dissolution reset

- Fast delineation of our acreage position to capture large NAV optionality

Our plan forecasts strengthening financial metrics:

• Maintain strong liquidity above $1.5 billion

• Improving credit metrics and leverage ratio below 2.5x

• Provide flexibility to finish separating the E&P and coal businesses

• Use the approximately $1 billion of free cash flow through 2018 to reduce debt and equity

Finance: Leverage Ratio and Liquidity Projection

23

(1) Leverage ratio equals expected year-end net debt divided by expected EBITDA. CONSOL Energy is unable to provide a reconciliation of projected EBITDA to projected operating income, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, due to the unknown effect, timing, and potential significance of certain income statement items.

(2) Excludes letters of credit of $243 million Note: Guidance as of 1/31/2017. Assumes $400-$600 million in asset sales in 2017 and a 20% CNXC drop in 2018 Forecasts based on strip pricing for open volumes as of 1/3/2017

• Year-end 2016 leverage ratio below prior forecast; 2017E and 2018E targets reduced by 0.2x and 0.3x, respectively

• Path to reaching and maintaining a sub-2.5x leverage ratio

• Liquidity rises by estimated $1 billion in free cash flow by 2018

• Plan Upside: - Increased efficiencies - Rising commodity prices - Accelerated drops - Additional asset sales
