Previous wording

We believe we are positioned for sustainable long-term success. We continue to monitor the impact of the actions of OPEC and other large hydrocarbon producing nations; the Russia-Ukraine war, military action in the Middle East and flows of energy commodities through the Strait of Hormuz; global inventories of natural gas, NGLs and oil; future U.S. infrastructure investment; future monetary and fiscal policy, tariffs and their impacts on global trade and energy demand; and governmental policies aimed at the energy sector, including those focused on transitioning towards lower carbon energy. We expect prices for the commodities we produce to remain volatile given the complex dynamics of supply and demand that exist in the global energy markets. In first three months 2026, average natural gas prices increased primarily due to increased demand from winter weather and LNG export growth. Longer term natural gas futures prices remain constructive based on market expectations of continued LNG export expansion and increasing global power demand, while associated gas-related activity in oil basins and dry gas basin activity are expected to show modest rates of growth due to infrastructure constraints, moderated reinvestment rates and inventory exhaustion. In addition, the global energy shortage experienced in recent years and geopolitical disruptions of energy flows from key producing regions further highlighted the need for affordable and reliable fuel sources, supporting continued strong structural demand growth for U.S. LNG exports, as well as domestic electricity generation. Other factors such as supply chain disruptions, cost inflation, concerns over a potential economic recession and the pace of changes in global monetary policy may impact global demand for natural gas, NGLs and oil. We continue to assess and monitor the impact of these factors on our business and operations.

Previous wording

In first quarter 2026, we experienced an increase in revenue from the sale of natural gas, NGLs and oil when compared to the same quarter of 2025, due to a 29% increase in net realized prices (average prices including all derivative settlements and third-party transportation costs paid by us) and a slight increase in total production.

Current wording

In second quarter 2026, we experienced an increase in revenue from the sale of natural gas, NGLs and oil compared to the same quarter of 2025, due to a 2% increase in net realized prices (average prices including all derivative settlements and third-party transportation costs paid by us) combined with a 5% increase in total production.

Previous wording

During first quarter 2026, we recognized net income of $341.6 million, or $1.44 per diluted common share compared to net income of $97.1 million, or $0.40 per diluted common share during first quarter 2025. The higher net income in first quarter 2026 compared to first quarter 2025 is primarily due to increased realized prices.

During second quarter 2026, we recognized net income of $195.3 million, or $0.83 per diluted common share compared to net income of $237.6 million, or $0.99 per diluted common share during second quarter 2025. The lower net income in second quarter 2026 compared to second quarter 2025 is primarily due to lower derivative fair value income.

Our average realized price received (including all derivative settlements and third-party transportation costs) during first quarter 2026 was $3.21 per mcfe compared to $2.48 per mcfe in first quarter 2025. Our 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 income. Our average realized prices (including derivative settlements) do include transportation costs where we receive net revenue proceeds from purchasers.

These third-party costs associated with NGLs were higher in first six months 2026 compared to first six months 2025 primarily due to an increase in electricity and processing costs due to higher prices and volumes. Third-party costs associated with natural gas increased due to an increase in volumes and facility and equipment costs associated with gathering. We have included these costs in the calculation of average realized prices (including derivative settlements and third-party transportation expenses paid by Range).

Derivative fair value losswas $33.4 million in first quarter 2026 compared to a loss of $159.0 million in first quarter 2025. 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 derivative losses indicate potentially higher future wellhead revenues.

Brokered natural gas, NGLs and marketing revenue was $57.2 million in first quarter 2026 compared to $54.4 million in first quarter 2025, which is the result of higher commodity prices offset by lower broker sales volumes (volumes not related to our production). We continue to optimize our transportation portfolio using these volumes. See also Brokered natural gas, NGLs and marketing expense below for more information on our net brokered margin.

Abandonment and impairment of unproved properties expense was $3.9 million in first quarter 2026 compared to $4.6 million in first quarter 2025. Abandonment and impairment of unproved properties for first quarter 2026 decreased when compared to the same period of 2025 due to lower than expected lease expirations in Pennsylvania. When we do not intend to drill on a property prior to expiration, we have allowed acreage to expire. We also expect to strategically allow expirations in the future, as we believe certain acreage needed for our future development plans can be efficiently leased again prior to development.

Current wording

Abandonment and impairment of unproved properties expense was $4.6 million in second quarter 2026 compared to $6.8 million in second quarter 2025. Abandonment and impairment of unproved properties expense was $8.5 million in first six months 2026 compared to $11.4 million in first six months 2025.

Previous wording

Deferred compensation plan had a loss of $2.5 million in first quarter 2026 compared to a loss of $2.9 million in first quarter 2025. 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 based on the number of vested shares in the plan at the time. The change in both periods is related to the change in Range stock price at the end of each period combined with fewer shares being held within the deferred compensation plan.
