This is due to our inability to calculate the comparable GAAP projected metrics, including operating income, net cash provided by operating activities and total production costs, given the unknown effect, timing, and potential significance of certain income statement items.

For financial hedging, CNX utilizes over-the-counter swaps to manage its exposure to natural gas price
fluctuations. Typically, CNX “sells” swaps under which it receives a fixed price from counterparties and
pays a floating market price. In order to help gain additional flexibility to move production to higher price
periods, during the second quarter of 2020, CNX purchased, rather than sold, financial swaps for the
period May through November of 2020 under which CNX will pay a fixed price to and receive a floating
price from its hedge counterparties. Swaps purchased have the effect of reducing total hedged volumes
for the period of the swap.

Non-GAAP Measures (Definitions, Purpose, and Reconciliations)

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 generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), management believes that these financial measures are useful to an investor in evaluating CNX because (i) analysts utilize these metrics when evaluating company performance and have requested this information as of a recent practicable date, (ii) these metrics are widely used to evaluate a company’s operating performance, and (iii) we want to provide updated information to investors. Investors should not view these metrics 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.

Definitions: EBIT is defined as earnings before deducting net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) and income taxes. EBITDAX is defined as earnings before deducting net interest expense (interest expense less interest income), income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, and exploration. Adjusted EBITDAX is defined as EBITDAX after adjusting for the discrete items listed below. Although EBIT, EBITDAX, and adjusted EBITDAX are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, management believes that they are useful to an investor in evaluating CNX Resources because they are widely used to evaluate a company's operating performance. We exclude stock-based compensation from adjusted EBITDAX because we do not believe it accurately reflects the actual operating expense incurred during the relevant period and may vary widely from period to period irrespective of operating results. Investors should not view these metrics as a substitute for measures of performance that are calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, because all companies do not calculate EBIT, EBITDAX or adjusted EBITDAX identically, the presentation here may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliations of EBIT, EBITDAX, adjusted EBITDAX, adjusted net income, operating margins, cash operating margins, net debt, TTM EBITDAX, free cash flow and organic free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are as follows:

Net Debt: Management uses net debt to determine the company's outstanding debt obligations that would not be readily satisfied by its cash and cash equivalents on hand. Management believes that using net debt attributable to CNX Resources shareholders is useful to investors in determining the company's leverage ratio since the company could choose to use its cash and cash equivalents to retire debt.

Non-GAAP Measures
The Company's management believes that the following measures provide useful information to external users of the Company's consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, lenders and ratings agencies. Free cash flow and organic free cash flow should not be considered as alternatives to net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.
Free Cash Flow (FCF): Operating cash flow minus capex plus proceeds from asset sales.
Organic Free Cash Flow (FCF): Operating cash flow minus.
FCF Yield: Free cash flow per share divided by current market value.

Risk Factors

This presentation, including the oral statements made in connection herewith, contains forward-looking statements estimates and projections within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical are forward-looking and may include our operational and strategic plans; estimates of gas reserves and resources; 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 estimates and projections. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of future actual results. 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.

Specific factors that could cause future actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements are described in detail under the captions "Forward- Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as supplemented by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, and any subsequent reports filed with the SEC. Those risk factors discuss, among other matters, pricing volatility or pricing decline for natural gas and NGLs; the failure to realize the anticipated costs savings, synergies and other benefits of CNX’s purchase of the outstanding interests in CNXM not already owned by CNX; local, regional and national economic conditions and the impact they may have on our customers; the impact of outbreaks of communicable diseases such as COVID-19 on business activity, our operations and national and global economic conditions, generally; conditions in the oil and gas industry, including a sustained decrease in the level of supply or demand for oil or natural gas or a sustained decrease in the price of oil or natural gas; the financial condition of our customers; any non-performance by customers of their contractual obligations; changes in customer, employee or supplier relationships resulting from the proposed transaction; and changes in safety, health, environmental and other regulations.
