Investor Presentation

Exhibit

Corporate
This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements”
as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding future prospects,
plans, objectives, goals, projections, estimates of oil and gas quantities, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions, capital structure, anticipated
capital expenditures, completion of construction projects, projections for pension and other post-retirement benefit obligations, impacts of the adoption of new accounting rules,
and possible outcomes of litigation or regulatory proceedings, as well as statements that are identified by the use of the words
“anticipates,”
“estimates,”
“expects,”
“forecasts,”
“intends,”
“plans,”
“predicts,”
“projects,”
“believes,”
“seeks,”
“will,”
“may,”
and similar expressions.  Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which could
cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those
expressed in the forward-looking statements.  The Company’s expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed
in good faith and are believed by the Company to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be
achieved or accomplished.
In addition to other factors, the following are important factors that, in the view of the Company, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements:  factors affecting the Company’s ability to successfully identify, drill for and produce economically viable natural gas and oil reserves, including
among others geology, lease availability, title disputes, weather conditions, shortages, delays or unavailability of equipment and services required in drilling operations,
insufficient gathering, processing and transportation capacity, the need to obtain governmental approvals and permits, and compliance with environmental laws and regulations;
impairments under the SEC’s full cost ceiling test for natural gas and oil reserves; changes in the price of natural gas or oil; changes in laws, regulations or judicial interpretations
to which the Company is subject, including those involving derivatives, taxes, safety, employment, climate change, other environmental matters, real property, and exploration
and production activities such as hydraulic fracturing; governmental/regulatory actions, initiatives and proceedings, including those involving rate cases (which address, among
other things, target rates of return, rate design and retained natural gas), environmental/safety requirements, affiliate relationships, industry structure, and franchise renewal;
changes in price differentials between similar quantities of natural gas or oil sold at different geographic locations, and the effect of such changes on commodity production,
revenues and demand for pipeline transportation capacity to or from such locations; other changes in price differentials between
similar quantities of natural gas or oil having
different quality, heating value, hydrocarbon mix or delivery date; the cost and effects of legal and administrative claims against the Company or activist shareholder campaigns
to effect changes at the Company; uncertainty of oil and gas reserve estimates; significant differences between the Company’s projected and actual production levels for natural
gas or oil; delays or changes in costs or plans with respect to Company projects or related projects of other companies, including difficulties or delays in obtaining necessary
governmental approvals, permits or orders or in obtaining the cooperation of interconnecting facility operators; changes in demographic patterns and weather conditions;
changes in the availability, price or accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments; financial and economic conditions, including the availability of credit, and
occurrences affecting the Company’s ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms for working capital, capital expenditures and other investments, including any
downgrades in
the Company’s credit ratings and changes in interest rates and other capital
market conditions; changes in economic conditions, including global, national or regional recessions,
and their effect on the demand for, and customers’
ability to pay for, the Company’s products and services;  the creditworthiness or performance of
the Company’s key suppliers,
customers and counterparties; economic disruptions or uninsured losses resulting from major accidents, fires, severe weather, natural disasters, terrorist activities, acts of war,
cyber attacks or pest infestation; significant differences between the Company’s projected and actual capital expenditures and operating expenses; changes in laws, actuarial
assumptions, the interest rate environment and the return on plan/trust assets related to the Company’s pension and other post-retirement benefits, which can affect future
funding obligations and costs and plan liabilities; increasing health care costs and the resulting effect on health insurance premiums and on the obligation to provide other post-
retirement benefits;
or increasing costs of insurance, changes in coverage and the ability to obtain insurance.
Forward-looking statements include estimates of oil and gas quantities.
Proved oil and gas reserves are those quantities of oil and gas
which, by analysis of geoscience and
engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations. 
Other estimates of oil and gas quantities, including estimates of probable reserves, possible reserves, and resource potential, are by their nature more speculative than estimates
of proved reserves.  Accordingly, estimates other than proved reserves are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized. Investors are urged to consider closely
the disclosure in our Form 10-K available at www.nationalfuelgas.com.
You can also obtain this form on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
For a discussion of the risks set forth above and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from results referred to in the forward-looking statements, see
“Risk Factors”
in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 and the Forms 10-Q for the quarters ended December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015. The
Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date thereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

Appendix
Comparable GAAP Financial Measure Slides & Reconciliations
57
This
presentation
contains
certain
non-GAAP
financial
measures.
For
pages
that
contain
non-GAAP
financial
measures,
pages
containing
the
most
directly
comparable
GAAP
financial
measures
and
reconciliations
are
provided
in
the
slides
that
follow. 
The
Company
believes
that
its
non-GAAP
financial
measures
are
useful
to
investors
because
they
provide
an
alternative
method
for
assessing
the
Company’s
ongoing
operating
results,
for
measuring
the
Company’s
cash
flow
an
d liquidity,
and
for
comparing
the
Company’s
financial
performance
to
other
companies.
The
Company’s
management
uses
these
non-GAAP
financial
measures
for
the
same
purpose,
and
for
planning
and
forecasting
purposes.
The
presentation
of
non-GAAP
financial
measures
is
not
meant
to
be
a
substitute
for
financial
measures
prepared
in
accordance
with
GAAP.
The
Company
defines
Adjusted
EBITDA
as
reported
GAAP
earnings
before
the
following
items:
interest
expense,
depreciation,
depletion
and
amortization,
interest
and
other
income,
impairments,
items
impacting
comparability
and
income
taxes.
