WELL POSITIONED TO NAVIGATE A CHALLENGING MARKET IN 2015

Best-in-class asset base provides competitive rates-of-return in the current market environment •

Peer-leading rates of return and EUR per lateral foot in the Marcellus Shale



Marcellus: >50% IRR at $2.00 per Mcf realized price



Eagle Ford: >50% IRR at $65.00 per Bbl realized price

Strategy is to provide returns-focused growth as opposed to “growth for the sake of growth” •

Cabot expects to generate 10% - 18% production growth in 2015 despite a 45% reduction in drilling and completion spending



Modest level of outspend anticipated under current commodity price realizations

Low-cost structure •

2014 total company all-sources finding costs of $0.71 per Mcfe



2014 Marcellus-only all-sources finding costs of $0.43 per Mcf



2014 total company cash costs1 of $1.27 per Mcfe



2014 Marcellus-only cash costs1 of $0.80 per Mcf

Strong balance sheet provides financial flexibility in a low commodity price environment •

Conservative leverage position: Debt / LTM EBITDAX2 of 1.7x at Q2 2015



Financial flexibility: Recently increased credit facility commitments to $1.8 billion, with only $383 million of borrowings outstanding as of June 30, 2015



Hedge position provides downside protection: ~31% of 2015E natural gas production hedged

MARCELLUS SHALE

CABOT’S MARCELLUS SHALE SUMMARY



~200,000 net acres



Operated rig count: 3



2015E drilling activity: ~70 net wells



2015E average gross daily production: 1.7 – 1.8 Bcf/d –

– 

Production levels from quarter to quarter will ultimately be dictated by price realizations and potential curtailments Flexibility to accelerate / decelerate completion capital throughout the year

FY 2014

FY 2015

Average Marcellus Rig Count 6.0 3.5

Reduction in drilling and completion activity in 2015 is predicated on lower anticipated natural gas price realizations throughout Appalachia as we await the inservice of new takeaway capacity



COG plans to accelerate activity upon the in-service of Constitution Pipeline in 2H 2016



COG’s best-in-class Marcellus assets generate >50% IRR at a realized price of $2.00 per Mcf



Average Gross Daily Marcellus Production (Bcf/d) 1.7 – 1.8 1.54

Currently testing 500’ - 800’ downspacing between laterals, which would increase inventory / resource potential / NAV, if successful

Even assuming wider differentials in Appalachia persist, the incremental Cabot Marcellus well produced into the local market generates a rate of return of >55% based on the current NYMEX strip1 Note: Single well economics are all-in and include capital associated with road, pad and production facilities. 1 Assumes NYMEX strip as of August 5, 2015, held flat after year 9. Assumes regional differential of ($1.00) for the life of the well.

These projections involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Analysis assumes a 2H 2016 in-service for Constitution Pipeline and a Q3 2017 in-service for Atlantic Sunrise Pipeline. Differential ranges are based on the following gross production ranges – Q3 2015E: 1.55 to 1.60 Bcf/d; 2017E: 2.1 to 2.4 Bcf/d; 2018E: 2.4 to 3.0 Bcf/d.
