RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANC IAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1) SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Range Resources Corporation is a Fort Worth, Texas-based independent natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and oil company engaged in the exploration, development and acquisition of natural gas properties in the Appalachian region of the United States. Our objective is to build stockholder value through returns-focused development of natural gas properties. Range is a Delaware corporation with our common stock listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “RRC.”

(2) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

These consolidated financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed. These consolidated financial statements, including selected notes, have been prepared in accordance with the applicable rules of the Securities Exchange Commission (the SEC) and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) for complete financial statements.

These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022. The results of operations for three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

(3) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Not Yet Adopted

No accounting standards were adopted in first quarter 2022 that had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

(4) REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Disaggregation of Revenue

We have three material revenue streams in our business: natural gas sales, NGLs sales and condensate sales (referred to below as oil sales). Brokered revenue attributable to each product sales type is included here because the volume of product that we purchase is subsequently sold to separate counterparties in accordance with existing sales contracts under which we also sell our production. Accounts receivable attributable to our revenue contracts with customers was $416.2 million at March 31, 2022 and $460.2 million at December 31, 2021. Revenue attributable to each of our identified revenue streams is disaggregated below (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |

We evaluate and update our annual effective income tax rate on a quarterly basis based on current and forecasted operating results and tax laws. Consequently, based upon the mix and timing of our actual earnings compared to annual projections, our effective tax rate may vary quarterly and may make comparisons not meaningful. The effective income tax rate is influenced by a variety of factors including geographic sources and relative magnitude of these sources of income. Income taxes for discrete items are computed and recorded in the period that a specific transaction occurs. For the three months ended

9

March 31, 2022 and 2021, our overall effective tax rate was different than the federal statutory rate due primarily to state income taxes, equity compensation, valuation allowances and other tax items. Current income taxes reflect estimated state income taxes due for 2022 which is based on our estimated earnings, taking into account state tax rates and laws regarding NOL limitations.

(6) INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Basic income or loss per share attributable to common shareholders is computed as (1) income or loss attributable to common shareholders (2) less income allocable to participating securities (3) divided by weighted average basic shares outstanding. Diluted income or loss per share attributable to common shareholders is computed as (1) basic income or loss attributable to common shareholders (2) plus diluted adjustments to income allocable to participating securities (3) divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. The following sets forth a reconciliation of income or loss attributable to common shareholders to basic income or loss attributable to common shareholders to diluted income or loss attributable to common shareholders (in thousands, except per share amounts):

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Net (loss) income, as reported |  | $ | (456,808 | ) |  | $ | 27,151 |
Participating earnings (a) |  |  | — |  |  |  | (673 | )
Basic net (loss) income attributed to common shareholders |  |  | (456,808 | ) |  |  | 26,478 |

Basic |  | $ | (1.86 | ) |  | $ | 0.11 |
Diluted |  | $ | (1.86 | ) |  | $ | 0.11 |

(a) | Restricted Stock Awards represent participating securities because they participate in nonforfeitable dividends or distributions with common equity owners. Income allocable to participating securities represents the distributed and undistributed earnings attributable to the participating securities. Participating securities, however, do not participate in undistributed net losses.

The following details weighted average common shares outstanding and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic |  |  | 245,350 |  |  |  | 242,159 |
Effect of dilutive securities: |  |  |  |  |  |
Director and employee restricted stock and performance based equity awards |  |  | — |  |  |  | 5,368 |
Weighted average common shares outstanding – diluted |  |  | 245,350 |  |  |  | 247,527 |

Weighted average common shares outstanding-basic for first quarter 2022 excludes 6.2 million shares of restricted stock held in our deferred compensation plan compared to 6.2 million shares in first quarter 2021 (although all awards are issued and outstanding upon grant). Due to our loss in first quarter 2022, we excluded all outstanding equity grants from the computation of diluted loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive to the computations. For first quarter 2021, equity grants of 88,000 were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted net income per share because the grant prices were greater than the average market price of our common shares and would be anti-dilutive to the computation. Non-vested restricted stock and performance based equity awards are included in the computation using the treasury stock method with the deemed proceeds equal to the average unrecognized compensation during the period.

Bank Debt

In April 2018, we entered into an amended and restated revolving bank facility, which we refer to as our bank debt or our bank credit facility, which is secured by substantially all of our assets and has a maturity date of April 13, 2023. The bank credit facility provides for a maximum facility amount of $4.0 billion and an initial borrowing base of $3.0 billion. The bank credit facility also provides for a borrowing base subject to periodic redeterminations and for event-driven unscheduled redeterminations. As of March 31, 2022, our bank group was composed of twenty-six financial institutions. The borrowing base may be increased or decreased based on our request and sufficient proved reserves, as determined by the bank group. The commitment amount may be increased to the borrowing base, subject to payment of a mutually acceptable commitment fee to those banks agreeing to participate in the facility increase. Borrowings under the bank credit facility can either be at the alternate base rate (ABR, as defined in the bank credit facility agreement) plus a spread ranging from 0.75% to 1.75% or at the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the bank credit facility agreement) plus a spread ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%. The applicable spread is dependent upon borrowings relative to the borrowing base. We may elect, from time to time, to convert all or any part of our LIBOR loans to base rate loans or to convert all or any of the base rate loans to LIBOR loans. The weighted average interest rate was 2.5% for first quarter 2022 compared to 2.2% for first quarter 2021. A commitment fee is paid on the undrawn balance based on an annual rate of 0.30% to 0.375%. At March 31, 2022, the commitment fee was 0.30% and the interest rate margin was 1.75% on our LIBOR loans and 0.75% on our ABR loans.

On March 31, 2022, bank commitments totaled $2.4 billion and we had no borrowings outstanding on our bank credit facility. Additionally, we had $338.0 million of undrawn letters of credit, leaving $2.1 billion of committed borrowing capacity available under the facility.

On April 14, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated revolving bank facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent and other lenders and agents party thereto. The new facility has a maximum facility amount of $4.0 billion and a current elected borrowing base of $3.0 billion. On April 14, 2022, the bank commitments totaled $1.5 billion. The maturity of the new bank credit facility is April 14, 2027. The financial covenants include a maximum consolidated debt to EBITDAX ratio of 3.75 x and a minimum current ratio of 1.0 x (each ratio as defined in the bank credit facility). Revisions were also made to replace LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate with SOFR or the secured overnight financing rate. Our bank group is now composed of seventeen financial institutions.

New Senior Notes

In January 2022, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due 2030 (the "4.75% Notes") for net proceeds of $492.1 million after underwriting expenses and commissions of $7.9 million. The 4.75% Notes, issued at par, were offered to qualified institutional buyers and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in compliance with Rule 144A (for life) and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Interest due on the 4.75% Notes is payable semi-annually in February and August and is unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of our subsidiary guarantors. On or after February 1, 2027, we may redeem the 4.75% Notes, in whole or in part and from time to time, at 100% of the principal amounts plus accrued and unpaid interest. We may redeem the notes prior to their maturity at redemption prices based on a premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest as described in the indenture governing the 4.75% Notes. Upon occurrence of certain changes in control, we must offer to repurchase the 4.75% Notes. The 4.75% Notes are unsecured and are subordinated to all of our existing and future secured debt, rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured debt and rank senior to all of our existing and future subordinated debt. On the closing of the issuance of the 4.75% Notes, we used the proceeds, along with cash on hand and our bank credit facility, to redeem $850.0 million of our 9.25% senior notes due 2026.

Early Redemption

In first quarter 2022, we announced a call for the redemption of $850.0 million of our outstanding 9.25% senior notes due 2026. The redemption price equaled 106.938% of par plus accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption date was February 1, 2022. We recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt in first quarter 2022 of $69.2 million which represents expensing of the remaining deferred financing costs and the call premium costs.

Senior Notes

If we experience a change of control, noteholders may require us to repurchase all or a portion of our senior notes at 101% of the aggregate principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Guarantees

Range is a holding company which owns no operating assets and has no significant operations independent of its subsidiaries. The guarantees by our subsidiaries, which are directly or indirectly owned by Range, of our senior notes and our bank credit facility are full and unconditional and joint and several, subject to certain customary release provisions. The assets, liabilities and results of operations of Range and our guarantor subsidiaries are not materially different than our consolidated financial statements. A subsidiary guarantor may be released from its obligations under the guarantee:

•
in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the subsidiary guarantor or a sale or other disposition of all the capital stock of the subsidiary guarantor, to any corporation or other person (including an unrestricted subsidiary of Range) by way of merger, consolidation, or otherwise; or
•
if Range designates any restricted subsidiary that is a guarantor to be an unrestricted subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the indenture.

Debt Covenants

Our bank credit facility contains negative covenants that limit our ability, among other things, to pay cash dividends, incur additional indebtedness, sell assets, enter into certain hedging contracts, change the nature of our business or operations, merge, consolidate or make certain investments. Through March 31, 2022, we were required to maintain a ratio of EBITDAX (as defined in the bank credit facility agreement) to cash interest expense of equal to or greater than 2.5 and a current ratio (as defined in the bank credit facility agreement) of no less than 1.0. In addition, the ratio of the present value of proved reserves (as defined in the bank credit facility agreement) to total debt must be equal to or greater than 1.5 until Range has two investment grade ratings. We were in compliance with applicable covenants under the bank credit facility at March 31, 2022.

(9) ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Our asset retirement obligations primarily represent the estimated present value of the amounts we will incur to plug, abandon and remediate our producing properties at the end of their productive lives. Significant inputs used in determining such obligations include estimates of plugging and abandonment costs, estimated future inflation rates and well lives. The inputs are calculated based on historical data as well as current estimated costs. A reconciliation of our liability for plugging and abandonment costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 is as follows (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 |  |  | Year Ended December 31, 2021 |
Beginning of period |  | $ | 95,836 |  |  | $ | 79,822 |

Accretion expense is recognized as a component of depreciation, depletion and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

(10) DERIVATIVE ACTIVITIES

We use commodity-based derivative contracts to manage exposure to commodity price fluctuations. We do not enter into these arrangements for speculative or trading purposes. We utilize commodity swaps, collars, three-way collars or swaptions to (1) reduce the effect of price volatility of the commodities we produce and sell and (2) support our annual capital budget and expenditure plans. The fair value of our derivative contracts, represented by the estimated amount that would be realized upon termination, based on a comparison of the contract price and a reference price, generally the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) for natural gas and crude oil or Mont Belvieu for NGLs, approximated a net loss of $989.8 million at March 31, 2022. These contracts expire monthly through December 2024. The following table sets forth our commodity-based derivative volumes by year as of March 31, 2022, excluding our basis swaps and divestiture contingent consideration which are discussed separately below:

Period |  | Contract Type |  | Volume Hedged |  | Weighted Average Hedge Price

(1) | We also sold natural gas call swaptions of 100,000 Mmbtu/day for 2023 at a weighted average price of $3.21 Mmbtu/day.

13

Every derivative instrument is required to be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value. We recognize all changes in fair value of these derivatives as earnings in derivative fair value income or loss in the periods in which they occur.

Basis Swap Contracts

In addition to the swaps, collars and swaptions described above, at March 31, 2022, we had natural gas basis swap contracts which lock in the differential between NYMEX Henry Hub and certain of our physical pricing indices. These contracts settle monthly through December 2024 and include a total volume of 187,405,000 Mmbtu. The fair value of these contracts was a gain of $22.5 million at March 31, 2022.

Divestiture Contingent Consideration

In addition to the derivatives described above, our right to receive contingent consideration in conjunction with the sale of our North Louisiana assets was determined to be a derivative financial instrument that is not designated as a hedging instrument. The remaining contingent consideration of up to $45.5 million is based on future achievement of natural gas and oil prices based on published indexes and realized NGLs prices of the buyer for the years 2022 and 2023. All changes in the fair value are recognized as a gain or loss in earnings in the period they occur in derivative fair value income or loss in our consolidated statements of operations. For first three months 2022, this fair value has increased $8.1 million for a fair value of $34.8 million as of March 31, 2022.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

The combined fair value of derivatives included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is summarized below. The assets and liabilities are netted where derivatives with both gain and loss positions are held by a single counterparty and we have master netting arrangements.

(11) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There are three approaches for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: the market approach, the income approach and the cost approach, each of which includes multiple valuation techniques. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to measure fair value by converting future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, into a single present value amount using current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace the service capacity of an asset. This is often referred to as current replacement cost. The cost approach assumes that the fair value would not exceed what it would cost a market participant to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The fair value accounting standards do not prescribe which valuation technique should be used when measuring fair value and does not prioritize among the techniques. These standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in applying the various valuation techniques. Inputs broadly refer to the assumptions that market participants use to make pricing decisions, including assumptions about risk. Level 1 inputs are given the highest priority in the fair value hierarchy while Level 3 inputs are given the lowest priority. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•
Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
•
Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. These are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
•
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability being measured. These inputs reflect management’s best estimates of the assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value. Our Level 3 measurements consist of instruments using standard pricing models and other valuation methods that utilize unobservable pricing inputs that are significant to the overall fair value.

Valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs are favored. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest priority level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities within the levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Significant uses of fair value measurements include:

•
impairment assessments of long-lived assets; and
•
recorded value of derivative instruments and trading securities.

The need to test long-lived assets can be based on several indicators, including a significant reduction in prices of natural gas, oil and condensate, NGLs, unfavorable adjustments to reserves, significant changes in the expected timing of production, other changes to contracts or changes in the regulatory environment in which a property is located.

Fair Values – Recurring

We use a market approach for our recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to use the best information available. The following tables present the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Our trading securities in Level 1 are exchange-traded and measured at fair value with a market approach using end of period market values. Derivatives in Level 2 are measured at fair value with a market approach using third-party pricing services which have been corroborated with data from active markets or broker quotes. As of March 31, 2022, a portion of our natural gas and oil derivative instruments contain swaptions where the counterparty has the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a fixed price swap on a pre-determined date. If exercised, the swaption contract becomes a swap treated consistently with our fixed-price swaps. In addition to our swaptions in Level 3 at March 31, 2022, we have NGLs collars. Derivatives in Level 3 are also measured at fair value with a market approach using third-party pricing services which have been corroborated with data from active markets or broker quotes. However, the subjectivity in the volatility factors utilized can cause a significant change in the fair value measurement of our derivatives in Level 3 and is considered a significant unobservable input. At March 31, 2022, for our swaptions, we used a weighted average implied volatility of 36% for natural gas. We also utilized a range of implied volatilities from 44% to 77% for our NGLs collars with a weighted average implied volatility of 56%. The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for derivative instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Divestiture Contingent Consideration. In August 2020, we completed the sale of our North Louisiana assets where we are entitled to receive contingent consideration based on future achievement of natural gas and oil prices based on published indexes along with NGLs prices based on the realized NGLs prices of the buyer. We used an option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration using significant Level 2 inputs that include quoted future commodity prices based on active markets.

Trading securities. Our trading securities held in the deferred compensation plan are accounted for using the mark-to- market accounting method and are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We elected to adopt the fair value option to simplify our accounting for the investments in our deferred compensation plan. Interest, dividends, and mark-to-market gains or losses are included in deferred compensation plan expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For first quarter 2022, interest and dividends were $115,000 and the mark-to-market adjustment was a loss of $4.3 million compared to interest and dividends of $109,000 and a mark-to-market gain of $2.0 million in first quarter 2021.

(a) | Marketable securities, which are held in our deferred compensation plans, are actively traded on major exchanges.
(b) | The book value of our bank debt approximates fair value because of its floating rate structure. The fair value of our senior notes is based on end of period market quotes which are Level 2 inputs.
(c) | The fair value of our deferred compensation plan is updated to the closing price on the balance sheet date which is a Level 1 input.

Our current assets and liabilities include financial instruments, the most significant of which are trade accounts receivable and payable. We believe the carrying values of our current assets and liabilities approximate fair value. Our fair value assessment incorporates a variety of considerations, including (1) the short-term duration of the instruments and (2) our historical and expected incurrence of bad debt expense. Non-financial liabilities initially measured at fair value include asset retirement obligations, operating lease liabilities and the divestiture contract obligation that we incurred in conjunction with the sale of our North Louisiana assets.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

As of March 31, 2022, our primary concentrations of credit risk are the risks of not collecting accounts receivable and the risk of a counterparty’s failure to perform under derivative obligations. Most of our receivables are from a diverse group of companies, including major energy companies, pipeline companies, local distribution companies, financial institutions and end-users in various industries. Letters of credit or other appropriate assurances are obtained as deemed necessary to limit our risk of loss. Our allowance for uncollectable receivables was $568,000 at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Our derivative exposure to credit risk is diversified primarily among major investment grade financial institutions, where we have master netting agreements which provide for offsetting payables against receivables from separate derivative contracts. To manage counterparty risk associated with our derivatives, we select and monitor our counterparties based on our assessment of their financial strength and/or credit ratings. We may also limit the level of exposure with any single counterparty. At March 31, 2022, our derivative counterparties include fifteen financial institutions, of which all but five are secured lenders in our bank credit facility. At March 31, 2022, our net derivative liability includes a net receivable of $3.6 million from three of these counterparties that are not participants in our bank credit facility and an aggregate net payable of $1.6 million to two of these counterparties.

Allowance for Expected Credit Losses. Each reporting period, we assess the recoverability of material receivables using historical data, current market conditions and reasonable and supported forecasts of future economic conditions to determine their expected collectability. The loss given default method is used when, based on management’s judgment, an allowance for expected credit losses should be accrued on a material receivable to reflect the net amount to be collected.

(12) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Stock-Based Awards

We have two active equity-based stock plans: our Amended and Restated 2005 Equity-Based Incentive Compensation Plan and our Amended and Restated 2019 Equity-Based Compensation Plan. Under these plans, various awards may be issued to non-employee directors and employees pursuant to decisions of the Compensation Committee, which is composed of only non-employee, independent directors.

Total Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation represents amortization of restricted stock and performance units. Unlike the other forms of stock-based compensation, the mark-to-market adjustment of the liability related to the vested restricted stock held in our deferred compensation plan is directly tied to the change in our stock price and not directly related to the functional expenses and therefore, is not allocated to the functional categories. The following details the allocation of stock-based compensation to functional expense categories (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Direct operating expense |  | $ | 349 |  |  | $ | 327 |
Brokered natural gas and marketing expense |  |  | 519 |  |  |  | 450 |
Exploration expense |  |  | 452 |  |  |  | 386 |
General and administrative expense |  |  | 11,573 |  |  |  | 9,405 |
Total stock-based compensation expense |  | $ | 12,893 |  |  | $ | 10,568 |

Stock-Based Awards

Restricted Stock Awards. We grant restricted stock units under our equity-based stock compensation plans. These restricted stock units, which we refer to as restricted stock Equity Awards, generally vest over a three-year period, contingent on the recipient’s continued employment. The grant date fair value of the Equity Awards is based on the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant.

19

The Compensation Committee also grants restricted stock to certain employees and non-employee directors of the Board of Directors as part of their compensation. We also grant restricted stock to certain employees for retention purposes. Compensation expense is recognized over the balance of the vesting period, which is typically three years for employee grants and one year vesting for non-employee directors. All restricted stock awards are issued at prevailing market prices at the time of the grant and the vesting is based upon an employee’s continued employment with us. Prior to vesting, all restricted stock award recipients have the right to vote such stock and receive dividends thereon. Upon grant of these restricted shares, which we refer to as restricted stock Liability Awards, the majority of these shares are generally placed in our deferred compensation plan and, upon vesting, withdrawals are allowed in either cash or in stock. In early 2021, vesting for new grants of restricted stock Liability Awards changed to a three-year cliff vesting from a ratable 30%-30%-40% vesting schedule. These Liability Awards are classified as a liability and are remeasured at fair value each reporting period. This mark-to-market amount is reported in deferred compensation plan expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Historically, we have used authorized but unissued shares of stock when restricted stock is granted. However, we can also utilize treasury shares when available.

Stock-Based Performance Units. We grant three types of performance share awards: two based on internal performance conditions which are measured against internal performance metrics and one based on market conditions measured based on Range’s performance relative to a predetermined peer group (TSR Awards or TSR-PSUs). In first quarter 2021, our internal performance metrics were changed to focus on debt reduction and to include an environmental component. For shares granted in 2021, the performance conditions will be measured against internal metrics of Debt/EBITDAX (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and exploration expense) and emission intensity performance. In first quarter 2022, the performance conditions will be measured against internal metrics of net debt (total debt less cash on hand) and emission intensity performance.

Each unit granted represents one share of our common stock. These units are settled in stock and the amount of the payout is based on (1) the vesting percentage, which can range from zero to 200% based on performance achieved, which is determined by the Compensation Committee and (2) the value of our common stock on the vesting date. Dividend equivalents may accrue during the performance period and are paid in stock at the end of the performance period. The performance period is for three years. Prior to 2021, the performance period for the internal performance metrics was based on annual performance targets earned over a three-year period.

Restricted Stock – Equity Awards

In first three months 2022, we granted 1.4 million restricted stock Equity Awards to employees at an average grant date fair value of $18.47 which generally vest over a three-year period compared to 2.3 million at an average grant date fair value of $10.20 in first three months 2021. We recorded compensation expense for these outstanding awards of $5.9 million in first three months 2022 compared to $5.2 million in the same period of 2021. Restricted stock Equity Awards are not issued to employees until such time as they are vested. Employees do not have the option to receive cash.

Restricted Stock – Liability Awards

In first three months 2022, we granted 602,000 shares of restricted stock Liability Awards as compensation to employees at an average grant date fair value of $20.42 which generally vest at the end of a three-year period. In first three months 2021, we granted 1.2 million shares of restricted stock Liability Awards as compensation to employees at an average grant date fair value of $9.29 with vesting generally at the end of a three-year period. We recorded compensation expense for these Liability Awards of $3.6 million in first three months 2022 compared to $2.9 million in first three months 2021. The majority of these awards are held in our deferred compensation plan, are classified as a liability and are remeasured at fair value each reporting period. This mark-to-market amount is reported as deferred compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations (see additional discussion below). The following is a summary of the status of our non-vested restricted stock outstanding at March 31, 2022:

|  | Restricted Stock Equity Awards |  |  | Restricted Stock Liability Awards |
|  | Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |  |  | Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Outstanding at December 31, 2021 |  |  | 2,674,777 |  |  | $ | 7.39 |  |  |  | 796,629 |  |  | $ | 6.49 |

20

Stock-Based Performance Units

Internal Performance Metric Awards. These awards vest at the end of the three-year performance period. The performance metrics are set by the Compensation Committee. If the performance metric for the applicable period is not met, that portion is considered forfeited and there is an adjustment to the expense recorded. See additional information above for shares granted in first quarter 2021 and 2022. The following is a summary of our non-vested internal performance awards outstanding at March 31, 2022:

|  | Number of Units |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Outstanding at December 31, 2021 |  |  | 1,095,355 |  |  | $ | 7.80 |
Units granted (a) |  |  | 153,089 |  |  |  | 20.38 |
Vested and issued (b) |  |  | (243,482 | ) |  |  | 9.64 |
Forfeited |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Outstanding at March 31, 2022 |  |  | 1,004,962 |  |  | $ | 9.27 |

(a) | Amounts granted reflect the number of performance units granted; however, the actual payout of shares will be between zero and 200% depending on achievement of specifically identified performance targets. Units granted in first quarter 2022 were to our CEO, CFO and COO only.
(b) | For the awards issued during 2019, the aggregate payout was approximately 116% of target with a positive performance adjustment of 158,793 shares.

We recorded compensation expense of $1.7 million in first three months 2022 compared to expense of $740,000 in first three months 2021.

TSR Awards. TSR-PSUs granted are earned, or not earned, based on the comparative performance of Range’s common stock measured against a predetermined group of companies in the peer group over a three-year performance period. The fair value of the TSR-PSUs is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation model which utilizes multiple input variables that determine the probability of satisfying the market condition stipulated in the award grant and calculates the fair value of the award. The fair value is recognized as stock-based compensation expense over the three-year performance period. Expected volatilities utilized in the model were estimated using a combination of a historical period consistent with the remaining performance period of three years and option implied volatilities. The risk-free interest rate was based on the United States Treasury rate for a term commensurate with the life of the grant. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of TSR-PSUs granted during first three months 2022 and 2021:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 1.4 | % |  |  | 0.2 | %
Expected annual volatility |  |  | 68 | % |  |  | 75 | %
Grant date fair value per unit |  | $ | 27.90 |  |  | $ | 12.58 |

The following is a summary of our non-vested TSR-PSUs award activities:

|  | Number of Units |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Outstanding at December 31, 2021 |  |  | 1,147,994 |  |  | $ | 7.60 |
Units granted (a) |  |  | 111,828 |  |  |  | 27.90 |
Vested and issued (b) |  |  | (314,152 | ) |  |  | 11.34 |
Forfeited |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Outstanding at March 31, 2022 |  |  | 945,670 |  |  | $ | 8.76 |

(a) | These amounts reflect the number of performance units granted. The actual payout of shares may be between zero and 200% of the performance units granted depending on the total shareholder return ranking compared to our peer companies at the vesting date.
(b) | Includes TSR-PSUs awards granted in 2019 where the return on our common stock was 127% and therefore, the performance multiple and actual payout was 183%.

21

We recorded TSR-PSUs compensation expense of $773,000 in first three months 2022 compared to $595,000 in the same period of 2021. Fair value is amortized over the performance period with no adjustment to the expense recorded for actual targets achieved.

Other Post Retirement Benefits

Effective fourth quarter 2017, as part of our officer succession plan, we implemented a post retirement benefit plan to assist in providing health care to officers who are active employees (including their spouses) and have met certain age and service requirements. These benefits are not funded in advance and are provided up to age 65 or at the date they become eligible for Medicare, subject to various cost-sharing features. There was approximately $70,000 of estimated prior service costs amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into general and administrative expense in first quarter 2022 compared to approximately $90,000 in first quarter 2021. Those employees that qualify for this retirement health care plan are required to provide reasonable notice of retirement and provide one year of service after an equity grant date to be fully vested in the grant.

Deferred Compensation Plan

Our deferred compensation plan gives non-employee directors and officers the ability to defer all or a portion of their salaries, bonuses or director fees and invest in Range common stock or make other investments at the individual’s discretion. Range provides a partial matching contribution to officers which vests over three years. In early 2021, vesting for the matching contribution was changed to a three-year cliff vesting schedule. The assets of the plan are held in a grantor trust, which we refer to as the Rabbi Trust, and are therefore available to satisfy the claims of our general creditors in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. Our stock held in the Rabbi Trust is treated as a liability award as employees are allowed to take withdrawals from the Rabbi Trust either in cash or in Range stock. The liability for the vested portion of the stock held in the Rabbi Trust is reflected as deferred compensation liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is adjusted to fair value each reporting period by a charge or credit to deferred compensation plan expense on our consolidated statements of operations. The assets of the Rabbi Trust, other than our common stock, are invested in marketable securities and reported at their market value as other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The deferred compensation liability reflects the vested market value of the marketable securities and Range stock held in the Rabbi Trust. Changes in the market value of the marketable securities and changes in the fair value of the deferred compensation plan liability are charged or credited to deferred compensation plan expense each quarter. We recorded a mark-to-market loss of $73.3 million in first quarter 2022 compared to a mark-to-market loss of $19.8 million in first quarter 2021. The Rabbi Trust held 6.7 million shares (5.6 million of which were vested) of Range stock at March 31, 2022 compared to 6.2 million shares (5.4 million of which were vested) at December 31, 2021.

(13) EXIT AND TERMINATION COSTS

Exit Costs

In August 2020, we sold our North Louisiana assets and retained certain gathering, transportation and processing obligations which extend into 2030. These are contracts where we will not realize any future benefit. The estimated obligations are included in current and long-term divestiture contract obligation in our consolidated balance sheets. In first three months 2022, we recorded accretion expense of $11.0 million compared to $13.0 million in the same period of the prior year. The estimated discounted divestiture contract obligation was $398.9 million at March 31, 2022.

In second quarter 2020, we negotiated capacity releases on certain transportation pipelines in Pennsylvania effective May 31, 2020 and extending through the remainder of the contract. The estimated remaining discounted obligation for these transportation capacity releases as of March 31, 2022 was $6.8 million.

(16) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

We are the subject of, or party to, a number of pending or threatened legal actions, administrative proceedings or investigations arising in the ordinary course of our business including, but not limited to, royalty claims, contract claims and environmental claims. While many of these matters involve inherent uncertainty, we believe that the amount of the liability, if any, ultimately incurred with respect to these actions, proceedings or claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position as a whole or on our liquidity, capital resources or future annual results of operations.

When deemed necessary, we establish reserves for certain legal proceedings. The establishment of a reserve is based on an estimation process that includes the advice of legal counsel and subjective judgment of management. While management believes these reserves to be adequate, it is reasonably possible we could incur additional losses with respect to those matters in which reserves have been established. We will continue to evaluate our litigation on a quarterly basis and will establish and adjust any litigation reserves as appropriate to reflect our assessment of the then current status of litigation.

We have incurred and will continue to incur capital, operating and remediation expenditures as a result of environmental laws and regulations. As of March 31, 2022, liabilities for remediation were not material. We are not aware of any environmental claims existing as of March 31, 2022 that have not been provided for or would otherwise have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. Environmental liabilities normally involve estimates that are subject to revision until final resolution, settlement or remediation occurs.

On March 4, 2021 a putative class action lawsuit was filed in the Western District of Pennsylvania in Case No. 2:21-CV-301 (Jacobowitz v. Range Resources Corporation et al.) in which the Plaintiff sought to represent a class of Range stockholders who purchased or acquired stock from April 29, 2016 to February 10, 2021. This lawsuit had been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (Fort Worth Division) and claimed that Range misclassified certain wells as inactive rather than having plugged the wells and that such alleged misclassification affected the determination of our asset retirement obligation accrual. On March 31, 2022, the court granted our motion to dismiss and each claim was dismissed with prejudice. Plaintiffs have until May 2 to file an appeal of the March 31 ruling and dismissal. Additionally, on January 20, 2022, a derivative action styled as Lewis v. Ventura et al. was filed under seal in the Northern District of Texas (Case No. 4-22CV-051-0) asserting similar allegations as the Jacobowitz matter. We maintain the same views as to the merits of the Lewis matter as the Jacobowitz matter and we plan to vigorously defend this matter and seek its dismissal.

ITE M 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANA LYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview of Our Business

We are a Fort Worth, Texas-based independent natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and oil company primarily engaged in the exploration, development and acquisition of natural gas properties in the Appalachian region of the United States. We operate in one segment and have a single company-wide management team that administers all properties as a whole rather than by discrete operating segments. We measure financial performance as a single enterprise and not on a geographical or an area-by-area basis.

Our overarching business objective is to build stockholder value through returns-focused development of natural gas properties. Our strategy to achieve our business objective is to generate consistent cash flows from reserves and production through internally generated drilling projects occasionally coupled with complementary acquisitions and divestitures of non-core or, at times, core assets. In addition, we target funding our capital spending to at or below operating cash flow. Our revenues, profitability and future growth depend substantially on prevailing prices for natural gas, NGLs and oil and on our ability to economically find, develop, acquire, produce and market these reserves. Commodity prices have been and are expected to remain volatile. Our primary near-term focus includes the following:

•
operate safely and efficiently;
•
target capital spending at or below operating cash flow;
•
reduce emissions and target net-zero Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by year-end 2025;
•
achieve competitive returns on investments;
•
manage liquidity and further improve financial strength;
•
focus on organic opportunities through disciplined capital investments;
•
improve operational efficiencies and economic returns;
•
attract and retain quality employees; and
•
align employee incentives with our stockholders’ interests and key business objectives.

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported results of operations and the amount of our reported assets, liabilities and proved reserves. We use the successful efforts method of accounting for our natural gas, NGLs and oil activities.

Prices for natural gas, NGLs and oil fluctuate widely and affect:

•
revenues, profitability and cash flow;
•
the quantity of natural gas, NGLs and oil we can economically produce;
•
the quantity of natural gas, NGLs and oil shown as proved reserves;
•
the amount of cash flows available for reinvestment; and
•
our ability to borrow and raise additional capital.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the preceding consolidated financial statements and notes in Item 1.

Market Conditions

Prices for natural gas, NGLs and oil that we produce significantly impact our revenues and cash flows. Natural gas, NGLs and oil benchmarks increased in first quarter 2022 when compared to the same period of 2021 and, as a result, we experienced a significant increase in price realizations. As we continue to monitor the impact of the actions of OPEC and other large producing nations, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, global inventories of oil and gas and the uncertainty associated with recovering oil demand, future monetary policy and governmental policies aimed at transitioning towards lower carbon energy, we expect prices for some or all of the commodities we produce to remain volatile. NYMEX natural gas futures have shown strong improvements based on market expectations that associated gas-related activity in oil basins and dry gas basin activity will show modest rates of growth compared with the past due to capital discipline, core inventory exhaustion and infrastructure constraints. In addition, the global energy crisis further highlighted the low cost and low emissions shale gas resource base in North America, supporting continued strong structural demand growth for U.S. LNG exports and domestic industrial gas demand. Other factors such as the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the speed and effectiveness of vaccine distributions

or other medical advances to combat the virus may impact the recovery of world economic growth and the demand for oil, natural gas and NGLs.

The following table lists related benchmarks for natural gas, oil and NGLs composite prices for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Benchmarks: |  |  |  |  |  |
Average NYMEX prices (a) |  |  |  |  |  |
Natural gas (per mcf) |  | $ | 4.89 |  |  | $ | 2.69 |
Oil (per bbl) |  |  | 94.93 |  |  |  | 58.06 |

(a) | Based on weighted average of bid week prompt month prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”).
(b) | Based on our estimated NGLs product composition per barrel.

Our price realizations (not including the impact of our derivatives) may differ from these benchmarks for many reasons, including quality, location or production being sold at different indices.

Consolidated Results of Operations

Overview of First Quarter 2022 Results

For first quarter 2022, we experienced an increase in revenue from the sale of natural gas, NGLs and oil due to a 108% increase in net realized prices (average prices including all derivative settlements and third-party transportation costs paid by us) somewhat offset by slightly lower production volumes when compared to the same quarter of 2021. Daily production averaged 2.1 Bcfe in both the first quarter 2022 and 2021.Given the significant increase in commodity prices, our derivative fair value loss, which includes the non-cash fair value adjustment related to our derivatives, was $939.1 million compared to $57.9 million in the same quarter of the prior year. For additional information on our derivative fair value loss, see page 30.

During first quarter 2022, we recognized a net loss of $456.8 million, or $1.86 per diluted common share compared to a net income of $27.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted common share during first quarter 2021. The lower net income in first quarter 2022 compared to first quarter 2021 includes significantly higher derivative fair value loss (or the non-cash fair value adjustment related to our derivatives) due to higher commodity prices, higher deferred compensation expense and a loss on early extinguishment of debt partially offset by higher natural gas, NGLs and oil sales also due to higher commodity prices.

Our first quarter 2022 financial and operating performance included the following results:

•
reduced total debt by $350.0 million with cash on hand and cash flow;
•
reduced future interest expense through debt reduction combined with refinancing a portion of 9.25% senior notes due 2026 with 4.75% senior notes due 2030;
•
cash flow from operating activities increased $297.2 million from first quarter 2021;
•
ended the first quarter 2022 with $112.9 million of cash on hand;
•
revenue from the sale of natural gas, NGLs and oil increased 71% from the same period of 2021 with a 72% increase in average realized prices (before cash settlements on our derivatives) partially offset by slightly lower production volumes;
•
revenue from the sale of natural gas, NGLs and oil (including cash settlements on our derivatives) increased 59% from the same period of 2021;
•
direct operating expense per mcfe was $0.11 in first quarter 2022 compared to $0.09 in the same period of 2021 due to higher water handling and higher contract labor and service costs;
•
general and administrative expense per mcfe increased 15% from same quarter 2021 primarily due to higher stock-based compensation and higher salaries and benefits; and
•
reduced depletion, depreciation and amortization (“DD&A”) rate per mcfe by 2% from the same period of 2021.

26

Our cash flow from operating activities in first quarter 2022 was $406.4 million, an increase of $297.2 million from first quarter 2021 with significantly higher realized prices when compared to first quarter 2021 partially offset by slightly lower production volumes.

Natural Gas, NGLs and Oil Sales, Production and Realized Price Calculations

Our revenues vary primarily as a result of changes in realized commodity prices and production volumes. Our revenues are generally recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer and collectability is reasonably assured. In first quarter 2022, natural gas, NGLs and oil sales increased 71% compared to first quarter 2021 with a 72% increase in average realized prices (before cash settlements on our derivatives) partially offset by a 1% reduction in production volumes. The following table illustrates the primary components of natural gas, NGLs and oil sales for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | Change |  |  | % |

27

Our average realized price received (including all derivative settlements and third-party transportation costs) during first quarter 2022 was $3.23 per mcfe compared to $1.55 per mcfe in first quarter 2021. We believe computed final realized prices should include the total impact of transportation, gathering, processing and compression expense. Our average realized price (including all derivative settlements and third-party transportation costs) calculation also includes all cash settlements for derivatives. Average realized prices (excluding derivative settlements) do not include derivative settlements or third-party transportation costs which are reported in transportation, gathering, processing and compression expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Average realized prices (excluding derivative settlements) do include transportation costs where we receive net revenue proceeds from purchasers. Average realized price calculations for three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are shown below:

Realized prices include the impact of basis differentials and gains or losses realized from our basis hedging. The prices we receive for our natural gas can be more or less than the NYMEX price because of adjustments for delivery location, relative quality and other factors. The following table provides this impact on a per mcf basis:

Transportation, gathering, processing and compression expense was $297.8 million in first quarter 2022 compared to $274.3 million in first quarter 2021. These third-party costs are higher in first quarter 2022 when compared to first quarter 2021 due to the impact of higher NGLs prices which results in higher processing costs. We have included these costs in the calculation of average realized prices (including all derivative settlements and third-party transportation expenses paid by Range). The following table summarizes transportation, gathering, processing and compression expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 on a per mcf and per barrel basis (in thousands, except for costs per unit):

Derivative fair value loss was $939.1 million in first quarter 2022 compared to $57.9 million in first quarter 2021. All of our derivatives are accounted for using the mark-to-market accounting method. Mark-to-market accounting treatment can result in more volatility of our revenues as the change in the fair value of our commodity derivative positions is included in total revenue. As commodity prices increase or decrease, such changes will have an opposite effect on the mark-to-market value of our derivatives. Gains on our derivatives generally indicate potentially lower wellhead revenues in the future while losses indicate potentially higher future wellhead revenues. The following table summarizes the impact of our commodity derivatives for three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

(1) | Non-cash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives is a non-U.S. GAAP measure. Non-cash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives only represent the net change between periods of the fair market values of commodity derivative positions and exclude the impact of settlements on commodity derivatives during the period. We believe that non-cash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives is a useful supplemental disclosure to differentiate non-cash fair market value adjustments from settlements on commodity derivatives during the period. Non-cash fair value adjustments on commodity derivatives is not a measure of financial or operating performance under U.S. GAAP, nor should it be considered a substitute for derivative fair value income or loss as reported in our consolidated statements of operations. This also includes the change in fair value of our divestiture contingent consideration.

Brokered natural gas, marketing and other revenue in first quarter 2022 was $87.4 million compared to $80.6 million in first quarter 2021 which is the result of significantly higher broker sales prices somewhat offset by lower broker sales volumes (volumes not related to our production). First quarter 2021 also includes $8.8 million received as part of a capacity release agreement. We continue to optimize our transportation portfolio using these volumes. See also Brokered natural gas and marketing expense below for more information on our net brokered margin.

Operating Costs per Mcfe

We believe some of our expense fluctuations are best analyzed on a unit-of-production or per mcfe basis. The following table presents information about certain of our expenses on a per mcfe basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Direct operating expense was $20.3 million in first quarter 2022 compared to $17.7 million in first quarter 2021. Direct operating expenses include normally recurring expenses to operate and produce our wells, non-recurring well workovers and repair-related expenses. Our direct operating costs increased in first quarter 2022 primarily due to higher water handling/hauling costs, higher contract labor and services and higher workover costs. Our production volumes decreased 1% in first quarter 2022. We incurred $881,000 of workover costs in first quarter 2022 compared to $659,000 in first quarter 2021. On a per mcfe basis, direct operating expense was $0.11 in first quarter 2022 compared to $0.09 in the same quarter of the prior year due to higher water handling/hauling costs and higher contract labor and services. The following table summarizes direct operating expense per mcfe for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

Production and ad valorem taxes are paid based on market prices rather than hedged prices. This expense category is predominately comprised of the Pennsylvania impact fee. In February 2012, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania enacted an “impact fee” which functions as a tax on unconventional natural gas and oil production from the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania. This impact fee was $6.6 million in first quarter 2022 compared to $4.6 million in first quarter 2021 due to higher natural gas prices partially offset by the mix of wells relative to the impact fee structure where the fee declines over time. The following table summarizes production and ad valorem taxes per mcfe for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |

General and administrative (G&A) expense was $43.0 million in first quarter 2022 compared to $38.0 million in first quarter 2021. The first quarter 2022 increase of $5.0 million when compared to the same period of 2021 is primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense of $2.2 million, higher general office expenses including technology costs and higher salaries and benefits. At March 31, 2022, the number of G&A employees decreased 1% when compared to March 31, 2021. On a per mcfe basis, first quarter 2022 G&A expense was 15% higher than first quarter 2021 due to higher stock-based compensation expense, higher general office expenses and higher salaries and benefits. The following table summarizes G&A expenses on a per mcfe basis for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

On an absolute basis, the decrease in interest expense for first quarter 2022 from the same period of 2021 was primarily due to lower overall average interest rates and lower average outstanding debt balances. Average debt outstanding on the bank credit facility for first quarter 2022 was $65.3 million compared to $220.4 million in first quarter 2021 and the weighted average interest rate on the bank credit facility was 2.5% in first quarter 2022 compared to 2.2% in first quarter 2021.

Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense was $85.6 million in first quarter 2022 compared to $88.4 million in first quarter 2021. This decrease is due to a 2% decrease in depletion rates and a 1% decrease in production volumes. Depletion expense, the largest component of DD&A expense, was $0.45 per mcfe in first quarter 2022 compared to $0.46 per mcfe in first quarter 2021. We have historically adjusted our depletion rates in the fourth quarter of each year based on the year-end reserve report and at other times during the year when circumstances indicate there has been a significant change in reserves or costs. The following table summarizes DD&A expense per mcfe for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |

Other Operating Expenses

Our total operating expenses also include other expenses that generally do not trend with production. These expenses include stock-based compensation, brokered natural gas and marketing expense, exploration expense, abandonment and impairment of unproved properties, exit and termination costs, deferred compensation plan expenses, loss or gain on early extinguishment of debt and gain or loss on sale of assets. Stock-based compensation includes the amortization of restricted stock grants and PSUs.

Abandonment and impairment of unproved properties was $2.0 million in first quarter 2022 compared to $3.0 million in first quarter 2021. Abandonment and impairment of unproved properties for first quarter declined when compared to the same periods of 2021 due to lower estimated expirations in Pennsylvania.

Exit and termination costs was $11.1 million in first quarter 2022 compared to $13.7 million in first quarter 2021. In first quarter 2022, we recorded $11.1 million accretion expense primarily related to retained liabilities for certain gathering, transportation and processing obligations extending until 2030 compared to accretion expense of $13.2 million in the same quarter of the prior year.

Deferred compensation plan expense was a loss of $73.3 million in first quarter 2022 compared to a loss of $19.8 million in first quarter 2021. This non-cash item relates to the increase or decrease in value of the liability associated with our common stock that is vested and held in our deferred compensation plan. The deferred compensation liability is adjusted to fair value by a charge or a credit to deferred compensation plan expense. Our stock price increased from $17.83 at December 31, 2021 to $30.38 at March 31, 2022. In the same period of the prior year, our stock price increased from $6.70 at December 31, 2020 to $10.33 at March 31, 2021.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt was a loss of $69.2 million in first quarter 2022 compared to a loss of $35,000 in the same period of the prior year. In first quarter 2022, we announced a call for the redemption of $850.0 million of our outstanding 9.25% senior notes due 2026. The redemption price equaled 106.938% of par plus accrued and unpaid interest. We recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt in first quarter 2022 of $69.2 million, net of transaction costs and the expensing of the remaining deferred financing costs on the repurchased debt.

Income tax (benefit) expense was a benefit of $116.1 million in first quarter 2022 compared to expense of $2.7 million in first quarter 2021. The 2022 and 2021 effective tax rates were different than the statutory tax rate due to state income taxes, equity compensation, valuation allowances and other discrete tax items.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition, Capital Resources and Liquidity

Cash Flow

Cash flows from operations are primarily affected by production volumes and commodity prices, net of the effects of settlements of our derivatives. Our cash flows from operations are also impacted by changes in working capital. Short-term liquidity needs are satisfied by borrowings under our bank credit facility and/or cash on hand. Because of this, and because our principal source of operating cash flows (proved reserves to be produced in future years) cannot be reported as working capital, we often have low or negative working capital. From time to time, we enter into various derivative contracts to provide an economic hedge of our exposure to commodity price risk associated with anticipated future natural gas, NGLs and oil production. The production we hedge has varied and will continue to vary from year to year depending on, among other things, our expectation of future commodity prices and capital requirements. Any payments due to counterparties under our derivative contracts should ultimately be funded by prices received from the sale of our production. Production receipts, however, often lag payments to the counterparties. As of March 31, 2022, we have entered into derivative agreements covering 295.9 Bcfe for the remainder of 2022, 246.6 Bcfe for 2023 and 73.2 Bcfe for 2024, not including our basis swaps.

Sources of Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash flows provided from operating activities in first three months 2022 was $406.4 million compared to $109.3 million in first three months 2021. Cash provided from operating activities is largely dependent upon commodity prices and production volumes, net of the effects of settlement of our derivative contracts. The increase in cash provided from operating activities from first three months 2021 to first three months 2022 reflects higher realized prices partially offset by lower production volumes. As of March 31, 2022, we have hedged more than 55% of our projected total production for the remainder of 2022, with more than 65% of our projected natural gas production hedged. Net cash provided from operating activities was affected by a 1% decrease in production and working capital changes or the timing of cash receipts and disbursements. Changes in working capital (as reflected in our consolidated statements of cash flows) for first three months 2022 were negative $77.4 million compared to a negative $77.3 million for first three months 2021.

Issuance of senior notes in first three months 2022 includes the issuance of $500.0 million new 4.75% senior notes due 2030.

Uses of Cash and Cash Equivalents

Additions to natural gas and oil properties for first three months 2022 were consistent with expectations relative to our 2022 capital budget.

Repayment of senior notes for first three months 2022 includes the redemption of our $850.0 million aggregate principal amount 9.25% senior notes due 2026. From time to time, we may continue to repurchase our senior notes based upon prevailing market or other conditions at the time.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Based on the current commodity price environment, we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to execute our business plan for the foreseeable future. We continue to manage the duration and level of our drilling and completion commitments in order to maintain flexibility with regard to our activity level and capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2022, we had cash on hand in the amount of $112.9 million.

Sources of Cash

We currently expect our 2022 capital program to be funded by cash flows from operations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, we generated $406.4 million of cash flows from operating activities. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining available borrowing capacity under our bank credit facility was $2.1 billion and we had $112.9 million cash on hand. Our borrowing base can be adjusted as a result of changes in commodity prices, acquisitions or divestitures of proved properties or financing activities. We may draw on our bank credit facility to meet short-term cash requirements. In early January 2022, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of new 4.75% senior notes due 2030, with the proceeds along with cash on hand and our credit facility to fully redeem our 9.25% senior notes due 2026 in February 2022.

Although we expect cash flows and capacity under the existing credit facility to be sufficient to fund our expected 2022 capital program, we may also elect to raise funds through new debt or equity offerings or from other sources of financing. Any downgrades in our credit ratings could make it more difficult or expensive for us to borrow additional funds. All of our sources of liquidity can be affected by the general conditions of the broader economy, the global pandemic, force majeure events and fluctuations in commodity prices, operating costs and volumes produced, all of which affect us and our industry. We have no control over market prices for natural gas, NGLs or oil, although we may be able to influence the amount of realized revenues through the use of derivative contracts as part of our commodity price risk management.

Bank Credit Facility

Our bank credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets. As of March 31, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under our bank credit facility and we maintained a borrowing base of $3.0 billion and aggregate lender commitments of $2.4 billion. We also have undrawn letters of credit of $338.0 million as of March 31, 2022. We were in compliance with applicable covenants under the bank credit facility as of March 31, 2022.

The borrowing base is subject to regular, semi-annual redeterminations and is dependent on a number of factors but primarily the lender’s assessment of future cash flows. Our scheduled borrowing base redetermination was completed in the spring of 2022. On April 14, 2022 we entered into an amended and restated revolving bank credit facility. The new facility has a maximum facility amount of $4.0 billion, a borrowing base of $3.0 billion and aggregate lender commitments of $1.5 billion. The maturity of the new bank credit facility is April 14, 2027. See Note 8 for additional information.

Our daily weighted-average bank credit facility debt balance was $65.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $220.4 million for the same period of the prior year. As of April 14, 2022, borrowings under the amended and restated revolving bank facility can either be at the alternate base rate (“ABR,” as defined in the bank credit facility agreement) plus a spread ranging from 0.75% to 1.75% or at the Term Benchmark Rate (as defined in the bank credit facility agreement) plus a spread ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%. The applicable spread is dependent upon borrowings relative to the borrowing base. We may elect, from time to time, to convert all or any part of our Term Benchmark loans to base rate loans or to convert all or any of the base rate loans to Term Benchmark loans.

Uses of Cash

We use cash for the development, exploration and acquisition of natural gas and oil properties and for the payment of gathering, transportation and processing costs, operating, general and administrative costs, taxes and debt obligations, including interest. Expenditures for the development, exploration and acquisition of natural gas and oil properties are the primary use of our capital resources. During first quarter 2022, we funded $102.7 million on capital expenditures as reported in our consolidated statement of cash flows. The amount of our future capital expenditures will depend upon a number of factors including our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, infrastructure availability, supply and demand

35

fundamentals and our ability to execute our development program. In addition, the impact of commodity prices on investment opportunities, the availability of capital and the timing and results of our development activities may lead to changes in funding requirements for future development. We periodically review our budget to assess changes in current and projected cash flows, debt requirements and other factors.

We may from time to time repurchase or redeem all or portions of our outstanding debt securities for cash, through exchanges for other securities or a combination of both. Such repurchases or redemptions may be made in open market transactions and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. As part of our strategy for 2022, we will continue to focus on improving our debt metrics.

We expect our quarterly cash dividend to be reinstated in the second half of 2022 at a quarterly dividend rate of $0.08 per share or an $0.32 per share annual distribution. Details regarding the record and payment dates will be announced at such time the dividend is declared by our Board of Directors. In early 2022, the board approved an increase to our share repurchase program, where we are now authorized to repurchase an additional $430.0 million of our outstanding shares of common stock for an aggregate available at the time of $500.0 million.

Shelf Registration

We have a universal shelf registration statement filed with the SEC under which we, as a "well-known seasoned issuer" for purposes of SEC rules, have the ability to sell an indeterminate amount of various types of debt and equity securities.

Cash Dividend Payments

In January 2020, we announced that the Board of Directors suspended the dividend on our common stock. The determination of the amount of future dividends, if any, to be declared and paid is at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and primarily depends on cash flow, capital expenditures, debt covenants and various other factors. We expect our quarterly cash dividend will be reinstated in the second half of 2022.

Cash Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations include long-term debt, operating leases, derivative obligations, asset retirement obligations and transportation, processing and gathering commitments including the divestiture contractual commitment. As of March 31, 2022, we do not have any significant off-balance sheet debt or other such unrecorded obligations and we have not guaranteed any debt of any unrelated party. As of March 31, 2022, we had a total of $338.0 million of undrawn letters of credit under our bank credit facility.

Since December 31, 2021, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations other than the changes to our indebtedness as discussed further in Note 8.

Interest Rates

At March 31, 2022, we had approximately $2.6 billion of debt outstanding which bore interest at fixed rates averaging 5.7%.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently utilize any significant off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities to enhance our liquidity or capital resource position, or for any other purpose. However, as is customary in the oil and gas industry, we have various contractual work commitments, some of which are described above under Cash Contractual Obligations.

Inflation and Changes in Prices

Our revenues, the value of our assets and our ability to obtain bank loans or additional capital on attractive terms have been and will continue to be affected by changes in natural gas, NGLs and oil prices and the costs to produce our reserves. Natural gas, NGLs and oil prices are subject to significant fluctuations that are beyond our ability to control or predict. Certain of our costs and expenses are affected by general inflation and we expect costs for the remainder of 2022 to continue to be a function of supply and demand.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain sections of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations include forward-looking statements concerning trends or events potentially affecting our business. These statements contain words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “targets,” “plans,” “projects,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “would” or similar words

36

indicating that future outcomes are uncertain. In accordance with “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, these statements are accompanied by cautionary language identifying important factors, though not necessarily all such factors, which could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effect on us. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, there can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we anticipate. All comments concerning our expectations for future revenues and operating results are based on our current forecasts for our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future events. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. For additional risk factors affecting our business, see Item 1A. Risk Factors as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2022.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITAT I VE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The primary objective of the following information is to provide forward-looking quantitative and qualitative information about our potential exposure to market risks. The term “market risk” refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in natural gas, NGLs and oil prices and interest rates. The disclosures are not meant to be precise indicators of expected future losses, but rather indicators of reasonably possible losses. This forward-looking information provides indicators of how we view and manage our ongoing market-risk exposure. All of our market-risk sensitive instruments were entered into for purposes other than trading. All accounts are U.S. dollar denominated.

Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility of natural gas, NGLs and oil prices. We employ various strategies, including the use of commodity derivative instruments, to manage the risks related to these price fluctuations. These derivative instruments apply to a varying portion of our production and provide only partial price protection. These arrangements can limit the benefit to us of increases in prices but offer protection in the event of price declines. Further, if our counterparties defaulted, this protection might be limited as we might not receive the benefits of the derivatives. Realized prices are primarily driven by worldwide prices for oil and regional index prices for North American natural gas production. However, natural gas and NGLs prices are becoming global commodities similar to oil. Natural gas and oil prices have been volatile and unpredictable for many years. Changes in natural gas prices affect us more than changes in oil prices because approximately 64% of our December 31, 2021 proved reserves are natural gas and 2% of proved reserves are oil and condensate. In addition, a portion of our NGLs, which are 34% of proved reserves, are also impacted by changes in oil prices. We are also exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates. These risks did not change materially from December 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022.

37

Commodity Price Risk

We use commodity-based derivative contracts to manage exposures to commodity price fluctuations. We do not enter into these arrangements for speculative or trading purposes. At times, certain of our derivatives are swaps where we receive a fixed price for our production and pay market prices to the counterparty. Our derivatives program can also include collars, which establish a minimum floor price and a predetermined ceiling price. We have also entered into natural gas derivative instruments containing a fixed price swap and a sold option (which we refer to as a swaption). Our program may also include a three-way collar which is a combination of three options. At March 31, 2022, our derivative program includes swaps, collars, three-way collars and swaptions. The fair value of these contracts, represented by the estimated amount that would be realized upon immediate liquidation based on a comparison of the contract price and a reference price, generally NYMEX for natural gas and crude oil or Mont Belvieu for NGLs, as of March 31, 2022, approximated a net unrealized pretax loss of

$989.8 million. These contracts expire monthly through December 2024. At March 31, 2022, the following commodity derivative contracts were outstanding, excluding our basis swaps which are discussed below:

Period |  | Contract Type |  | Volume Hedged |  | Weighted Average Hedge Price |  |  | Fair Market Value |
|  |  |  |  |  | Swap |  |  | Sold Put |  |  | Floor |  |  | Ceiling |  |  |  |

2022 |  | Collars |  | 1,530 bbls/day |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | $1.77/gallon |  |  | $1.88/gallon |  |  | $ | (5,481 | )

(1) | We also sold natural gas call swaptions of 100,000 Mmbtu/day for 2023 at a weighted average price of $3.21. The fair market value of these swaptions at March 31, 2022 was a net derivative liability of $45.9 million.

We believe NGLs prices are somewhat seasonal, particularly for propane. Therefore, the relationship of NGLs prices to NYMEX WTI (or West Texas Intermediate) will vary due to product components, seasonality and geographic supply and demand. We sell NGLs in several regional and international markets. If we are not able to sell or store NGLs, we may be required to curtail production or shift our drilling activities to dry gas areas.

Currently, the Appalachian region has limited local demand and infrastructure to accommodate ethane. We have agreements where we have contracted to either sell or transport ethane from our Marcellus Shale area. We cannot ensure that these facilities will remain available. If we are not able to sell ethane under at least one of these agreements, we may be required to curtail production or, as we have done in the past, purchase or divert natural gas to blend with our rich residue gas.

38

Other Commodity Risk

We are impacted by basis risk, caused by factors that affect the relationship between commodity futures prices reflected in derivative commodity instruments and the cash market price of the underlying commodity. Natural gas transaction prices are frequently based on industry reference prices that may vary from prices experienced in local markets. If commodity price changes in one region are not reflected in other regions, derivative commodity instruments may no longer provide the expected hedge, resulting in increased basis risk. Therefore, in addition to the swaps, collars, three-way collars and swaptions discussed above, we have entered into natural gas basis swap agreements. The price we receive for our gas production can be more or less than the NYMEX Henry Hub price because of basis adjustments, relative quality and other factors. Basis swap agreements effectively fix the basis adjustments. The fair value of the natural gas basis swaps was a gain of $22.5 million March 31, 2022 and they settle monthly through December 2024.

At March 31, 2022, we are entitled to receive contingent consideration associated with the sale of our North Louisiana assets, annually through 2023, of up to $45.5 million based on future achievement of certain natural gas and oil prices based on published indexes along with the realized NGLs prices of the buyer. The fair value at March 31, 2022 was a gain of $34.8 million.

The following table shows the fair value of our derivatives and the hypothetical changes in fair value that would result from a 10% and a 25% change in commodity prices at March 31, 2022. We remain at risk for possible changes in the market value of commodity derivative instruments; however, such risks should be mitigated by price changes in the underlying physical commodity (in thousands):

|  |  |  |  | Hypothetical Change in Fair Value |  |  | Hypothetical Change in Fair Value |
|  |  |  |  | Increase in Commodity Price of |  |  | Decrease in Commodity Price of |
|  | Fair Value |  |  | 10% |  |  | 25% |  |  | 10% |  |  | 25% |

Our commodity-based derivative contracts expose us to the credit risk of non-performance by the counterparty to the contracts. Our exposure is diversified primarily among major investment grade financial institutions and we have master netting agreements with our counterparties that provide for offsetting payables against receivables from separate derivative contracts. Our derivative contracts are with multiple counterparties to minimize our exposure to any individual counterparty. At March 31, 2022, our derivative counterparties include fifteen financial institutions, of which all but five are secured lenders in our bank credit facility. Counterparty credit risk is considered when determining the fair value of our derivative contracts. While our counterparties are primarily major investment grade financial institutions, the fair value of our derivative contracts has been adjusted to account for the risk of non-performance by certain of our counterparties, which was immaterial. Through March 31, 2021, our propane and butane sales from the Marcus Hook facility near Philadelphia were short-term and to a single purchaser and our ethane sales were to a single international customer. As of April 1, 2021, other than limited spot sales, our propane and butane sales have been diversified among several purchasers and are for set terms of twelve to twenty-four months.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our bank debt. We attempt to balance variable rate debt, fixed rate debt and debt maturities to manage interest costs, interest rate volatility and financing risk. This is accomplished through a mix of fixed rate senior and variable rate bank debt. At March 31, 2022, we had $2.6 billion of debt outstanding which bears interest at fixed rates averaging 5.7%.

IT EM 4. CONTROLS A ND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), we have evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2022 at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

P ART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

See Note 16 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements entitled “Commitments and Contingencies” included in Part I Item 1 above for a summary of our legal proceedings, such information being incorporated herein by reference.

Environmental Proceedings

Our subsidiary, Range Resources – Appalachia, LLC, was notified by the DEP that it intends to assess a civil penalty under the Clean Streams Law and the 2012 Oil and Gas Act in connection with one well in Lycoming County and ordered us to conduct certain remedial work and monitoring to prevent methane and other substances from allegedly escaping the gas well into the surrounding environment including into soil, groundwater, streams and other surrounding water sources. DEP initially issued an order specifying its demands to the subsidiary on May 11, 2015. We appealed the order and the appeal was subsequently settled and discontinued whereupon we agreed to conduct certain, limited remedial work at the one well and continue monitoring water sources in the area and DEP did not assess any fines at that time. Thereafter, on January 13, 2020, DEP issued a new order regarding the same one well in Lycoming County which set forth similar allegations and demands as set forth above. This new order was issued despite considerable data and evidence presented to DEP over the course of the investigation that this one well has not been nor is currently the source of methane in the environment nor any water supplies, but rather the methane existed in the environment before the commencement of our operations. We appealed the January 2020 order and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations asserted by DEP; however, a resolution of this matter may nonetheless result in monetary sanctions of more than $250,000.

From time to time, we receive notices of violation from governmental and regulatory authorities in areas in which we operate relating to alleged violations of environmental statutes or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. While we cannot predict with certainty whether these notices of violation will result in fines and/or penalties, if fines and/or penalties are imposed, they may result in monetary sanctions, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $250,000.

IT EM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We are subject to various risks and uncertainties in the course of our business. In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this report, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described under Item 1A. Risk Factors filed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In February 2022, our Board of Directors subsequently increased the authorization for repurchases under the program for a cumulative approval of $530.0 million which includes fees, commissions and expenses. The share repurchase authority does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares. The program may be changed based upon our financial condition and is subject to termination by the Board of Directors prior to completion. Shares repurchased as of March 31, 2022 were held as treasury stock.
