MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Ronald J. Tanski, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Fuel Gas Company, stated: "Each of our business segments contributed to a very good quarter of operations for the Company. In our upstream segment, Seneca's Marcellus production grew by an impressive 25 percent due to increased takeaway capacity on National Fuel pipelines and improved pricing in Appalachia. This higher production also contributed to the increased throughput we achieved in our Gathering and Pipeline and Storage segments. While commodity pricing in the Appalachian basin has improved, the methodology imposed under the full-cost accounting rules required us to once again incur a non-cash impairment charge. We expect that the pricing curve will level out and soon bring an end to these impairment charges.

"The steps we have taken in fiscal 2016 have positioned National Fuel well financially and operationally. In fiscal 2017, we plan to execute our integrated strategy to grow our upstream and midstream businesses in Appalachia. We are pleased that IOG elected to continue participating with us in drilling additional Marcellus wells over the next year, allowing us to dedicate capital to our midstream pipeline businesses while maintaining activity levels upstream. We recently received a positive Environmental Assessment from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for our Northern Access Project and remain on schedule to obtain the additional regulatory approvals to build the project to meet the anticipated November 2017 in-service date. While we continue to be encouraged by firming natural gas prices, we will maintain the current pace of our drilling program over the next year in order to grow production into the Northern Access capacity as efficiently as possible. This strategy should result in steady, but significant, growth across our upstream and midstream businesses.”

Upstream Business

Exploration and Production Segment

The Exploration and Production segment operations are carried out by Seneca Resources Corporation ("Seneca"). Seneca explores for, develops and produces natural gas and oil reserves, primarily in Pennsylvania and California.

Quarter Ended

June 30, 2015

Variance Net Income / (Loss) $ (19,165 ) $ (323,113 ) $ 303,948 Net Income / (Loss) Per Share (Diluted) $ (0.22 ) $ (3.79 ) $ 3.57 Adjusted EBITDA $ 97,924 $ 93,662 $ 4,262  

The quarter over quarter variance in the Exploration and Production segment's net loss is mainly due to lower impairment charges that were recorded to write down the value of Seneca’s oil and natural gas reserves under the full cost method of accounting. The non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge recorded in the current year's third quarter was $82.7 million ($47.9 million after-tax) versus $588.7 million ($339.8 million after-tax) in the prior year. The full cost method of accounting requires that Seneca perform a quarterly “ceiling test” to compare the present value of future revenues from its oil and natural gas reserves based on an unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month oil and gas prices for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period (“the ceiling”) with the book value of those reserves at the balance sheet date. If the book value of the reserves exceeds the ceiling, a non-cash impairment charge must be recorded in order to reduce the book value of the reserves to the calculated ceiling. Unless oil and gas prices improve, Seneca expects to incur an additional impairment charge in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016.

Seneca also incurred $3.2 million ($1.8 million after tax) of professional and legal expenses during the third quarter relating to the extension of the joint development agreement that Seneca entered into in June 2016. These transaction costs were recorded to general and administrative ("G&A") expense.

Excluding these items, Operating Results in the Exploration and Production segment in the current year’s third quarter were $30.6 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to $16.7 million, or $0.20 per share, in the prior year’s third quarter, an increase of $13.9 million or $0.16 per share. The increase in Operating Results is mainly due to higher natural gas production and lower operating expenses, offset partially by lower realized natural gas and crude oil prices after hedging, lower oil production and higher interest expense.

Seneca's net third quarter fiscal 2016 production was 44.0 billion cubic feet equivalent ("Bcfe"), an increase of 7.8 Bcfe, or 22 percent, from the prior fiscal year's third quarter, and an increase of 4.8 Bcfe, or 12 percent, versus the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Net natural gas production for the quarter was 39.6 Bcf, an increase of 8.0 Bcf, or 25 percent, versus prior year due mainly to new incremental firm transportation capacity that became available to Seneca during the first quarter of fiscal 2016. In addition, improved local spot pricing in Pennsylvania allowed Seneca to sell approximately 6.4 Bcf of net production in local spot markets during the quarter, the first meaningful spot production volumes Seneca has sold since the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Seneca's voluntary production curtailments decreased 7.1 Bcf from the estimated 11.8 Bcf of net production curtailed in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 and 4.4 Bcf from the estimated 9.1 Bcf curtailed during the second quarter of fiscal 2016.

Seneca produced 728 thousand barrels ("Mbbl") of crude oil during the third quarter, a decrease of 31 Mbbl, or 4.1 percent, when compared to the prior year due primarily to a temporary disruption in steam flood operations in North Midway Sunset and lower overall well workover activity in response to the decline in oil market prices.

Seneca's average realized natural gas price, after the impact of hedging, for the third quarter was $2.86 per thousand cubic feet ("Mcf"), a decrease of $0.46 per Mcf versus the prior year third quarter. Seneca's average realized oil price, after the impact of hedging, for the third quarter was $58.79 per barrel ("Bbl"), a decrease of $10.86 per Bbl when compared to the prior year third quarter. Seneca's average realized natural gas and oil prices benefited from a $1.11 per Mcf and $19.75 per Bbl uplift, respectively, from financial hedges settled during the quarter.

Lease operating and transportation ("LOE") expense decreased by $0.5 million versus the prior year third quarter due to lower per unit LOE offset partially by the impact of higher production. On a per unit of production basis, LOE for the third quarter decreased by $0.21 per Mcf equivalent ("Mcfe") to $0.88 per Mcfe. The decrease is largely due to a reduction in well maintenance and steam costs in Seneca's California division and lower salt water disposal and maintenance costs in Seneca's Appalachian division.

G&A expense, excluding the $3.2 million of professional fees related to the joint development agreement discussed above, was $13.4 million for the third quarter, a decrease of $3.7 million versus the prior year due primarily to lower personnel costs at Seneca.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense decreased $24.8 million versus the prior year third quarter due to lower per unit DD&A, offset partially by the impact of higher production. On a per unit of production basis, DD&A decreased $0.84 per Mcfe to $0.71 per Mcfe due primarily to a lower depletable fixed asset balance resulting from the ceiling test impairment charges recorded during the prior four quarters and higher natural gas reserve balances at September 30, 2015.

Property, franchise and other taxes decreased $2.3 million versus the prior year third quarter due primarily to reimbursements received from Seneca's joint development partner for its share of Pennsylvania impact fees and the general decline in oil and natural gas market prices, which have lowered the assessed values of Seneca's California oil properties and impact fee payments in Pennsylvania.

The $2.6 million increase in interest expense is due to the full quarter impact of the long-term debt issuance that occurred at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Midstream Businesses

Pipeline and Storage Segment

The Pipeline and Storage segment’s operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (“Supply Corporation”) and Empire Pipeline, Inc. (“Empire”). The Pipeline and Storage segment provides natural gas transportation and storage services to affiliated and non-affiliated companies through an integrated system of pipelines and underground natural gas storage fields in western New York and Pennsylvania.

Variance Net Income / (Loss) $ 17,323 $ 17,714 $ (391 ) Net Income / (Loss) Per Share (Diluted) $ 0.20 $ 0.21 $ (0.01 ) Adjusted EBITDA $ 48,515 $ 44,437 $ 4,078  

The Pipeline and Storage segment's third quarter earnings were relatively flat versus the prior year as the increase in operating revenues were offset by increases in Operation and Maintenance ("O&M"), DD&A and interest expenses. Operating revenues increased $6.9 million, or 10 percent, as a result of the three expansion projects - Northern Access 2015, Westside Expansion & Modernization, and Tuscarora Lateral - that were placed in service during the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

O&M expense increased $2.2 million versus prior year's third quarter due primarily to higher post-retirement benefit costs and expenses associated with the operation of new and expanded compression assets. DD&A expense for the quarter increased $1.4 million due to higher gross plant in service, which was largely attributable to the expansion projects that were placed in service within the last year. The $1.9 million increase in interest expense is due to the full quarter impact of the long-term debt issuance that occurred at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2015, coupled with lower capitalized interest resulting from the decline in pipeline expansion construction work in progress during the current quarter.

Gathering Segment

The Gathering segment’s operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas Midstream Corporation’s subsidiary limited liability companies. The Gathering segment constructs, owns and operates natural gas gathering pipelines and compression facilities in the Appalachian region which currently delivers Seneca’s gross Appalachian production to the interstate pipeline system.

The increase in the Gathering segment's third quarter earnings is due primarily to higher gathering revenues, offset partially by higher O&M, DD&A and interest expenses. Operating revenues increased $8.6 million, or 51 percent, versus prior year's third quarter mainly due to a 15.0 Bcf increase in gathered volume on the Clermont Gathering System ("Clermont"), a result of Seneca's increased gross production volumes. O&M expense increased $0.7 million due to higher costs associated with operating various Clermont compression projects placed in service during the current fiscal year. DD&A expense increased $1.4 million due to higher gross plant in service during the quarter.

The $2.0 million increase in interest expense is due to the full quarter impact of the long-term debt issuance that occurred at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2015, coupled with lower capitalized interest resulting from the Clermont projects being placed in service.

Downstream Businesses

Utility Segment

The Utility segment operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation (“Distribution”), which sells or transports natural gas to customers located in western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania.

The decrease in the Utility segment's third quarter earnings was largely attributable to the impact of higher O&M expenses, which increased $2.5 million versus the prior year due to higher personnel costs and expenses relating to the implementation of the new customer information system that went in service during the quarter. The Utility segment's earnings were further reduced by higher DD&A expense and lower margins.

Energy Marketing Segment

The Energy Marketing segment's operations are carried out by National Fuel Resources, Inc. (“NFR”). NFR markets natural gas to industrial, wholesale, commercial, public authority and residential customers primarily in western and central New York and northwestern Pennsylvania, offering competitively priced natural gas to its customers.

The decrease in the Energy Marketing segment's third quarter earnings is due primarily to lower margins, which were negatively impacted by changes in natural gas prices at local purchase points relative to NYMEX-based customer sales contracts.

Corporate and All Other

The Corporate and All Other category net loss of $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compares to a net loss of $1.2 million in the prior year’s third quarter. The $0.3 million decrease in the net loss impacted consolidated earnings by less than $0.01 per share.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE

The Company is updating and narrowing earnings guidance for fiscal 2016 to a range of $2.90 to $3.00 per share exclusive of any ceiling test impairment charges. These charges were $531 million after-tax, or $6.26 per share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2016. While the Company expects to incur an additional ceiling test impairment charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the amount of this charge is not reasonably determinable at this time. The amount of any ceiling test charge is determined at the end of the applicable quarter and will depend on many factors, including additions to or subtractions from proved reserves, fluctuations in oil and gas prices, and income tax effects related to the differences between the book and tax basis of the Company’s oil and gas properties. Some or all of these factors are likely to be significant. Because the amount of the expected ceiling test impairment charges is not reasonably determinable at this time, the Company is unable to provide earnings guidance other than on a non-GAAP basis that excludes those charges.

The Company's updated fiscal 2016 guidance reflects actual third quarter results and the following revised forecast assumptions:

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release contains information regarding Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide an alternative method for assessing the Company's ongoing operating results and for comparing the Company’s financial performance to other companies. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for the same purpose, and for planning and forecasting purposes. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be a substitute for financial measures in accordance with GAAP.

Management defines Operating Results as reported GAAP earnings before items impacting comparability. The table at page 1 of this report reconciles National Fuel's reported GAAP earnings to Operating Results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as reported GAAP earnings before the following items: interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, interest and other income, impairments, items impacting comparability and income taxes.

The following tables reconcile National Fuel's reported GAAP earnings to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:
