Ǫ2 2026 Earnings Prepared Remarks
Overview
In the second quarter of 2026, CNX generated free cash flow (FCF)(1) of $138 million, marking our 26th consecutive quarter of FCF generation. Our unmatched track record of FCF generation highlights our high-quality asset base and industry-leading low-cost business structure. Since the inception of our 7-year plan in 2020, our differentiated business model has resulted in cumulative FCF of approximately $3.1 billion. We remain focused on successfully executing our Sustainable Business Model, which we expect will continue to create significant long-term per share value throughout the commodity cycle.
(1) Free Cash Flow (FCF): Net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures plus proceeds from asset sales and minus investments in equity affiliates.
Capital AllocationIn the second quarter, we repurchased approximately 5.6 million shares for $199 million at an average price of $35.28 per share, a price we believe reflects a discount to our intrinsic value per share. Following the end of the quarter, we repurchased an additional 1.2 million shares for $40 million at an average price of $33.03 per share.
Since our peak share count in the third quarter of 2020, we have repurchased approximately 106 million shares for $2.2 billion at an average price of $20.43 per share. This represents a market leading 34% cumulative reduction in our total shares outstanding inclusive of the effect of share issuances associated with our convertible notes settlement and equity compensation.
With respect to the balance sheet, we settled the remaining $209 million of outstanding convertible notes during the quarter by issuing approximately 12.6 million shares, inclusive of the impact of the capped call settlement. This transaction further strengthened our balance sheet, and year-to-date, we have reduced our net debt by
$193 million. We will continue to manage our total debt levels and maturity schedule as part of overall risk management strategy to ensure we maintain our significant capital allocation flexibility.
Our short-term capital allocation decisions will continue to be a fluid evaluation process that enables us to be opportunistic and nimble to respond to changing capital market conditions. Most importantly, our long-term capital allocation strategy remains focused on actions that will increase our long-term per share value.
