United States Natural Gas Fund, LP

Previous wording

The accountability levels for the Benchmark Futures Contract and other Futures Contracts traded on U.S.-based futures exchanges, such as the NYMEX, are not a fixed ceiling, but rather a threshold above which the NYMEX may exercise greater scrutiny and control over an investor’s positions. The current accountability level for investments for any one-month in the Benchmark Futures Contract is 6,000 net contracts. In addition, the NYMEX imposes an accountability level for all months of 12,000 net futures contracts for natural gas. In addition, the ICE Futures maintains accountability levels, position limits and monitoring authority for its futures contracts for natural gas. If UNG and the Related Public Funds exceed these accountability levels for investments in the futures contracts for natural gas, the NYMEX and ICE Futures will monitor UNG’s and the Related Public Funds’ exposure and may ask for further information on UNG’s and the Related Public Funds’ activities including the total size of all positions, investment and trading strategy, and the extent of liquidity resources of UNG and the Related Public Funds. If deemed necessary by the NYMEX and/or ICE Futures, UNG could be required to reduce its aggregate position back to the accountability level. As of September 30, 2025, UNG held 15,138 NYMEX Natural Gas Futures NG contracts and did not hold any Futures Contracts traded on the ICE Futures. UNG exceeded accountability levels of the NYMEX during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, including when it held a maximum of 16,693 Natural Gas Futures NG contracts on the NYMEX, exceeding the “any” month limit. UNG did not exceed accountability levels imposed by the ICE Futures during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. No action was taken by the NYMEX and UNG did not reduce any positions held.

If deemed necessary by the NYMEX and/or ICE Futures, UNG could be required to reduce its aggregate position back to the accountability level. As of March 31, 2026, UNG held 11,542 NYMEX Natural Gas Futures NG contracts and did not hold any Natural Gas Futures Contracts traded on the ICE Futures. UNG exceeded accountability levels of the NYMEX during the three months ended March 31, 2026, including when it held a maximum of 24,907 Natural Gas Futures NG contracts, on the NYMEX, exceeding the “any” month limit. UNG did not exceed accountability levels imposed by the ICE Futures during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. No action was taken by the NYMEX and UNG did not reduce any positions held.

Previous wording

Position limits differ from accountability levels in that they represent fixed limits on the maximum number of futures contracts that any person may hold and cannot allow such limits to be exceeded without express CFTC authority to do so. In addition to accountability levels and position limits that may apply at any time, the NYMEX and ICE Futures impose position limits on contracts held in the last few days of trading in the near month contract to expire. It is unlikely that UNG will run up against such position limits because UNG’s investment strategy is to close out its positions and “roll” from the near month contract to expire to the next month contract during a four-day period beginning two weeks from expiration of the contract. Investors should note that the foregoing accountability levels and position limits are subject to change, which in turn could change the amount and type of permitted investments in which UNG invests. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, UNG did not exceed any position limits imposed by the NYMEX and ICE Futures.

Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease, including public health disruptions, pandemics and epidemics (for example, the COVID-19 pandemic), can be highly disruptive to economies and markets. Such events can, directly or indirectly, negatively impact, and/or cause volatility in, the price of commodities such as natural gas and the value, pricing, and liquidity of the investments or other assets held by UNG. Geopolitical conflict, including war and armed conflicts (such as the Russia-Ukraine war, conflicts in the Middle East, and the expansion of such conflicts in surrounding areas), sanctions, the introduction of or changes in tariffs or trade barriers, global or local recessions, and acts of terrorism, can also, directly or indirectly, negatively impact, and/or cause volatility in, the price of commodities such as natural gas and the value, pricing, and liquidity of the investments or other assets held by UNG.

Previous wording

Inflation is a general increase in the overall price level of goods and services in the economy. The United States Federal Reserve has a stated goal of maintaining a two percent increase in inflation over the long run, as measured by the annual change in the price index for personal consumption expenditures. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States experienced inflation above the Federal Reserve’s stated two-percent goal. Other world economies similarly experienced elevated inflation rates. The Federal Reserve increased interest rates and successfully reduced inflation so that it is close to the stated two percent goal. As a result, in 2024, the Federal Reserve began reducing interest rates. However, the rate of inflation in the United States is still above the stated two percent goal. Inflation has the effect of eroding the value of cash or bonds. In a high inflation environment, the value of UNG’s cash and Treasury investments may decline.

Natural gas futures prices were volatile during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The price of the Benchmark Futures Contract started the period at $3.633 per million British thermal shares (“MMBtu”). The high of the period was on March 10, 2025 when the price reached $4.491 per MMBtu. The low of the period was on August 26, 2025 when the price dropped to $2.790 per MMBtu. The period ended with the Benchmark Futures Contract at $3.303 per MMBtu, a decrease of approximately (9.08)% over the period. UNG’s per share NAV began the period at $16.85 and ended the period at $12.97 on September 30, 2025, a decrease of approximately (23.03)% over the period. The Benchmark Futures Contract prices listed above began with the February 2025 contracts and ended with the November 2025 contracts. The decrease of approximately (9.08)% on the Benchmark Futures Contract listed above is a hypothetical return only and would not actually be realized by an investor holding Futures Contracts. An investment in Futures Contracts would need to be rolled forward during the time period described in order to simulate such a result. Furthermore, the change in the nominal price of these differing Futures Contracts, measured from the start of the period to the end of the period, does not represent the actual benchmark results that UNG seeks to track, which are more fully described below in the section titled “Tracking UNG’s Benchmark.”

Natural gas futures prices were volatile during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The price of the Benchmark Futures Contract started the period at $3.686 per million British thermal shares (“MMBtu”). The high of the period was on January 30, 2026 when the price reached $4.354 per MMBtu. The low of the period was on February 26,2026 when the price dropped to $2.827 per MMBtu. The period ended with the Benchmark Futures Contract at 2.884 per MMBtu, a decrease of approximately (21.76)% over the period. UNG’s per share NAV began the period at $12.20 and ended the period at $11.70 on March 31, 2026, a decrease of approximately (4.10)% over the period. The Benchmark Futures Contract prices listed above began with the February 2026 contracts and ended with the May 2026 contracts.

Previous wording

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the natural gas futures market experienced states of both contango and backwardation. When the market was in a state of contango, the near month natural gas futures contract is lower than the price of the next month natural gas futures contract, or contracts further away from expiration. During periods of backwardation the near month natural gas futures contract is higher than the price of the next month natural gas futures contract, or contracts further away from expiration. For a discussion of the impact of backwardation and contango on total returns, see*“Term Structure of Natural Gas Futures Prices and the Impact on Total Returns”* below.

Previous wording

The decrease in total commissions accrued to brokers for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, was due primarily to a lower number of Futures Contracts being held and traded.

Previous wording

For the 30-valuation days ended September 30, 2025, the average daily change in the Benchmark Futures Contract was 0.080%, while the average daily change in the per share NAV of UNG over the same time period was 0.090%. The average daily difference was 0.010% (or 1.0 basis points, where 1 basis point equals 1/100 of 1%), meaning that over this time period UNG’s NAV performed within the plus or minus ten percent (10%) established as its benchmark tracking goal.

Current wording

For the 30-valuation days ended March 31, 2026, the average daily change in the Benchmark Futures Contract was 0.004%, while the average daily change in the per share NAV of UNG over the same time period was 0.011%. The average daily difference was 0.007% (or 0.7 basis points, where 1 basis point equals 1/100 of 1%), meaning that over this time period UNG’s NAV performed within the plus or minus ten percent (10%) established as its benchmark tracking goal.

Previous wording

Since the commencement of the offering of UNG’s shares to the public on April 18, 2007 to September 30, 2025, the average daily change in the Benchmark Futures Contract was (0.082)%, while the average daily change in the per share NAV of UNG over the same time period was (0.082)%. The average daily difference was (0.000)% (or 0.0 basis points, where 1 basis point equals 1/100 of 1%), meaning that over this time period UNG’s NAV performed was within the plus or minus ten percent (10%) range established as its benchmark tracking goal.

Current wording

Since the commencement of the offering of UNG’s shares to the public on April 18, 2007 to March 31, 2026, the average daily change in the Benchmark Futures Contract was (0.079)%, while the average daily change in the per share NAV of UNG over the same time period was (0.079)%.

Previous wording

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the actual total return of UNG as measured by changes in its per share NAV was (23.03)%. This is based on an initial per share NAV of $16.85 as of December 31, 2024 and an ending per share NAV as of September 30, 2025 of $12.97. During this time period, UNG made no distributions to its shareholders. However, if UNG’s daily changes in its per share NAV had instead exactly tracked the changes in the daily total return of the Benchmark Futures Contract, UNG would have had an estimated per share NAV of $12.73 as of September 30, 2025, for a total return over the relevant time period of (24.45)%. The difference between the actual per share NAV total return of UNG of (23.03)% and the expected total return based on the Benchmark Futures Contract of (24.45)% was a difference over the time period of 1.43%, which is to say that UNG’s actual total return outperformed its benchmark by that percentage. UNG incurs expenses primarily composed of the management fee, brokerage commissions for the buying and selling of futures contracts, and other expenses. The impact of these expenses, offset by interest and dividend income, and net of positive or negative execution, tends to cause daily changes in the per share NAV of UNG to track slightly lower or higher than daily changes in the price of the Benchmark Futures Contract.

Current wording

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the actual total return of UNG as measured by changes in its per share NAV was (4.10)%. This is based on an initial per share NAV of $12.20 as of December 31, 2025 and an ending per share NAV as of March 31, 2026 of $11.70. During this time period, UNG made no distributions to its shareholders. However, if UNG’s daily changes in its per share NAV had instead exactly tracked the changes in the daily total return of the Benchmark Futures Contract, UNG would have had an estimated per share NAV of $11.66 as of March 31, 2026, for a total return over the relevant time period of (4.46)%. The difference between the actual per share NAV total return of UNG of (4.10)% and the expected total return based on the Benchmark Futures Contract of (4.46)% was a difference over the time period of 0.36%, which is to say that UNG’s actual total return outperformed its benchmark by that percentage. UNG incurs expenses primarily composed of the management fee, brokerage commissions for the buying and selling of futures contracts, and other expenses. The impact of these expenses, offset by interest and dividend income, and net of positive or negative execution, tends to cause daily changes in the per share NAV of UNG to track slightly lower or higher than daily changes in the price of the Benchmark Futures Contract.

Previous wording

By comparison, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the actual total return of UNG as measured by changes in its per share NAV was (19.30)%. This is based on an initial per share NAV of $20.36 as of December 31, 2023 and an ending per share NAV as of September 30, 2024 of $16.43. During this time period, UNG made no distributions to its shareholders. However, if UNG’s daily changes in its per share NAV had instead exactly tracked the changes in the daily total return of the Benchmark Futures Contract, UNG would have had an estimated per share NAV of $15.97 as of September 30, 2024, for a total return over the relevant time period of (21.56)%. The difference between the actual per share NAV total return of UNG of (19.30)% and the expected total return based on the Benchmark Futures Contract of (21.56)% was a difference over the time period of 2.26%, which is to say that UNG’s actual total return outperformed its benchmark by that percentage. UNG incurred expenses primarily composed of the management fee, brokerage commissions for the buying and selling of futures contracts, and other expenses. The impact of these expenses, offset by interest and dividend income, and net of positive or negative execution, tends to cause daily changes in the per share NAV of UNG to track slightly lower or higher than daily changes in the price of the Benchmark Futures Contract.

Current wording

By comparison, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the actual total return of UNG as measured by changes in its per share NAV was 27.83%. This is based on an initial per share NAV of $16.85 as of December 31, 2024 and an ending per share NAV as of March 31, 2025 of $21.54. During this time period, UNG made no distributions to its shareholders. However, if UNG’s daily changes in its per share NAV had instead exactly tracked the changes in the daily total return of the Benchmark Futures Contract, UNG would have had an estimated per share NAV of $21.40 as of March 31, 2025, for a total return over the relevant time period of 27.00%. The difference between the actual per share NAV total return of UNG of 27.83% and the expected total return based on the Benchmark Futures Contract of 27.00% was a difference over the time period of 0.83%, which is to say that UNG’s actual total return outperformed its benchmark by that percentage.

Previous wording

There are three factors that typically have impacted or are most likely to impact UNG’s ability to accurately track its Benchmark Futures Contract in addition to the foregoing.

Current wording

There are three factors that have impacted or are most likely to impact UNG’s ability to accurately track its Benchmark Futures Contract in addition to the foregoing.

Previous wording

First, UNG may buy or sell its holdings in the then current Benchmark Futures Contract at a price other than the closing settlement price of that contract on the day during which UNG executes the trade. In that case, UNG may pay a price that is higher, or lower, than the closing settlement price of the Benchmark Futures Contract, which could cause the changes in the daily per share NAV of UNG to either be too high or too low relative to the daily changes in the Benchmark Futures Contract. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, USCF attempted to minimize the effect of these transactions by seeking to execute its purchase or sale of the Benchmark Futures Contract at, or as close as possible to, the end of the day settlement price. However, it may not always be possible for UNG to obtain the settlement price and there is no assurance that failure to obtain the closing settlement price in the future will not adversely impact UNG’s attempt to track the Benchmark Futures Contract.

Second, UNG incurs expenses primarily composed of the management fee, brokerage commissions for the buying and selling of futures contracts, and other expenses. The impact of these expenses tends to cause daily changes in the per share NAV of UNG to track slightly lower or higher than daily changes in the price of the Benchmark Futures Contract. At the same time, UNG earns dividend and interest income on its cash, cash equivalents and Treasuries. UNG is not required to distribute any portion of its income to its shareholders and did not make any distributions to shareholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Interest payments, and any other income, were retained within the portfolio and added to UNG’s NAV. When this income exceeds the level of UNG’s expenses for its management fee, brokerage commissions and other expenses (including ongoing registration fees, licensing fees and the fees and expenses of the independent directors of USCF), UNG will realize a net yield that will tend to cause daily changes in the per share NAV of UNG to track slightly higher than daily changes in the Benchmark Futures Contract. If short-term interest rates rise above these levels, the level of deviation created by the yield would increase. Conversely, if short-term interest rates were to decline, the amount of error created by the yield would decrease. When short-term yields drop to a level lower than the combined expenses of the management fee and the brokerage commissions, then the tracking error becomes a negative number and would tend to cause the daily returns of the per share NAV to underperform the daily returns of the Benchmark Futures Contract. USCF anticipates that interest rates may continue to stagnate over the near future. It is anticipated that fees and expenses paid by UNG may continue to be lower than interest earned by UNG. As such, USCF anticipates that UNG could possibly outperform its benchmark so long as interest earned is is greater than the fees and expenses paid by UNG.

Third, UNG may hold Other Natural Gas-Related Investments in its portfolio that may fail to closely track the Benchmark Futures Contract’s total return movements. In that case, the error in tracking the Benchmark Futures Contract could result in daily changes in the per share NAV of UNG that are either too high, or too low, relative to the daily changes in the Benchmark Futures Contract. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, UNG held investments in Futures Contracts traded on the ICE Futures whose settlement price also tracks the settlement price of the Benchmark Futures Contract and fully-collateralized OTC swaps designed to track the settlement price of the Benchmark Futures Contract. UNG invests in Other Natural Gas-Related Investments, such as OTC swaps, which have increased transaction-related expenses and may result in increased tracking error. OTC swaps increase transaction-related expenses due to the fact that UNG must pay to the swap counterparty certain fees that UNG does not have to pay for transactions executed on an exchange.

As an example, assume that the price of natural gas for immediate delivery, is $3 per MMBtu, and the value of a position in the near month futures contract is also $3. Over time, the price of natural gas will fluctuate based on a number of market factors, including demand for natural gas relative to supply. The value of the near month futures contract will likewise fluctuate in reaction to a number of market factors. If an investor seeks to maintain a position in a near month futures contract and not take delivery of physical MMBtu of natural gas, the investor must sell the current near month futures contract as it approaches expiration and invest in the next month futures contract. In order to continue holding a position in the current near month futures contract, this “roll” forward of the futures contract must be executed every month.

Natural Gas Market. During the nine months ended September, 2025, the price of the front month natural gas futures contract traded in a range between $2.696 and $4.491. Prices decreased (9.08)%, finishing the quarter at $3.303. The number of rigs dedicated to natural gas production rose from 103 at the start of the year to 117 by the end of the quarter. Natural Gas stored in the United States stood at 3.561 billion cubic feet as of September 30, 2025, about the same level at the same time last year. While both domestic demand and U.S. exports of natural gas have generally increased over the last five years, U.S. production has also continued to increase. However, a cold winter in the United States led to heavy draws on domestic natural gas inventories, comfortably lowering natural gas inventories below one-year ago and five-year average levels, boosting prices. The increasing demand for LNG and the spate of new export facilities (both open and under construction) may lift prices, as could potential new demand for natural gas to power AI data centers.

Current wording

Natural Gas Market. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the price of the front month natural gas futures contract traded in a range between $2.827 and $7.460. Prices decreased (21.76)% from December 31, 2025 through March 31, 2026, finishing the quarter at $2.884. The number of rigs dedicated to natural gas production rose from 125 at the start of the year to 127 by the end of the quarter. Natural Gas stored in the United States stood at 1,876 billion cubic feet as of March 31, 2026, about 3% below the five year average and 6% higher than the same time last year. While both domestic demand and U.S. exports of natural gas have generally increased over the last five years, U.S. production has also continued to increase. The increasing demand for LNG and the spate of new export facilities (both open and under construction) may lift prices, as could potential new demand for natural gas to power AI data centers. However, any increased oil drilling in the United States, prompted by the global oil shortage in the wake of the Iran war, would increase byproduct natural gas production and could lower prices.

Previous wording

The Russia-Ukraine war caused dramatic changes in natural gas supply-demand dynamics in Europe. The Russian invasion led the European Union to declare it would reduce its dependance on Russian fossil fuels and phase imports out completely as soon as possible. Russia, in turn, slowed pipelines and cutoff supplies, ultimately reducing its natural gas supplied to Europe by more than 50%. While Europe accelerated its push for alternative sources of energy, including energy from renewables, it still requires substantial Russian energy. With a potential resolution to the war in the cards, more Russian supply to Europe could come back online in the near future, easing international price pressure and potentially having a milder effect on U.S. prices.

Current wording

The Russia-Ukraine war caused dramatic changes in natural gas supply-demand dynamics in Europe. The Russian invasion led the European Union to reduce its dependance on Russian fossil fuels and seek alternative imports. Russia, in turn, slowed pipelines and cutoff supplies, reducing its natural gas supplied to Europe and then cutting off supply entirely at the start of 2025. The war increased the cost of natural gas globally, and while some Russian flows may return to Europe once the war ends, some structural market changes may be permanent.
