National Fuel Reports 2015 Earnings

National Fuel Gas Company (“National Fuel” or the “Company”) (NYSE:NFG)
today announced consolidated results for the fourth quarter and fiscal
year ended September 30, 2015.

National Fuel had a consolidated loss for the quarter ended September
30, 2015, of $187.7 million, or $2.22 per share, compared to the prior
year’s fourth quarter earnings of $57.4 million, or $0.68 per share, a
decrease of $245.1 million, or $2.90 per share. The decrease is largely
due to a $240.8 million non-cash charge to writedown the value of Seneca
Resources Corporation’s (“Seneca”) oil and natural gas reserves.
Consolidated earnings for the fourth quarter, exclusive of Seneca’s
writedown and other items impacting comparability (“Operating Results”),
were $34.9 million, or $0.41 per share, compared to $50.4 million, or
$0.59 per share, in the prior year’s fourth quarter. (Note: All
references to earnings per share are to diluted earnings per share, and
all amounts used in the discussion of earnings are after tax unless
otherwise noted.)

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, National Fuel had a
consolidated loss of $379.4 million, or $4.50 per share, compared to
earnings of $299.4 million, or $3.52 per share, from the prior year. The
decrease is largely due to $650.2 million of non-cash charges to write
down the value of Seneca’s oil and natural gas reserves. Excluding
Seneca’s writedown and the other items impacting comparability,
Operating Results for the fiscal year were $252.5 million, or $2.97 per
share, compared to $291.8 million, or $3.43 per share, in the prior
fiscal year.

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

Ronald J. Tanski, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Fuel
Gas Company, stated: “The continuation of low oil and natural gas
commodity prices required us to write down the balance sheet value of
our 2.3 trillion cubic feet equivalent of oil and natural gas reserves.
This large adjustment distracts from an otherwise solid quarter and
fiscal year of operations across all our segments.

“We continued to grow our midstream business, where three more
interstate pipeline projects are going into service in November, and
we’ve expanded our gathering pipelines to reach new production locations
being developed by Seneca.

“Seneca continues to drive down its drilling and completion costs in its
development program and maintain a constant focus on seeking markets for
its production.

“Customers of our downstream utility and energy marketing segments
continue to benefit from the low prices we are experiencing during this
low point in the commodity price cycle.

“Our integrated business model and balance among operations across the
natural gas value chain allow us to maintain our operations with a
longer term view. We have a strong base of assets, a large base of
reserves, and the financial strength that will allow us to continue to
achieve meaningful growth.”

OPERATIONS UPDATE

Seneca's total fourth quarter fiscal 2015 production was 37.6 billion
cubic feet equivalent ("Bcfe"), a decrease of 8.3 Bcfe, or 18 percent,
from the prior fiscal year's fourth quarter, and an increase of 1.4
Bcfe, or 4 percent, versus the third quarter of fiscal 2015. Natural gas
and crude oil production for the quarter was 33.0 billion cubic feet
(“Bcf”) and 778 thousand barrels ("Bbls"), respectively. As a result of
persistently low local spot prices in the Appalachian basin, Seneca
voluntarily curtailed approximately 13.0 Bcf of natural gas production
during the quarter. Absent price-related curtailments, Seneca's fourth
quarter fiscal 2015 natural gas production would have been approximately
46.0 Bcf, or nearly 500 million cubic feet ("MMcf") per day.

During fiscal year 2015, Seneca replaced 373 percent of production to
reach a total of 2.344 trillion cubic feet equivalent (“Tcfe”) of proved
crude oil and natural gas reserves as of September 30, 2015. Seneca’s
continued success through the drill bit in the Marcellus and Utica
shales led to a 459 Bcf, or 27 percent increase in natural gas reserves,
which totaled 2.142 Tcf at fiscal year end. Crude oil reserves, which
decreased by 12 percent largely due to production, totaled 33.7 million
Bbls at September 30, 2015. Consolidated finding and development costs
for the year were $0.96 per thousand cubic feet equivalent (“Mcfe”),
down from fiscal 2014’s $1.15 per Mcfe. In the Marcellus Shale, Seneca's
finding and development costs in fiscal 2015 were $0.79 per Mcf, down
from $1.00 per Mcf in fiscal 2014.

Seneca's average realized natural gas price, after the impact of
hedging, for the fourth quarter was $3.35 per Mcf, reflecting $1.11 per
Mcf of uplift from financial hedges settled during the quarter. Seneca
continued to strengthen and protect its future cash flows during the
fourth quarter, adding approximately 6 Bcf of fixed-price physical
natural gas sales and 156 thousand barrels ("MBbl") of NYMEX oil swaps
to its hedge book for fiscal 2016. Seneca's fiscal 2016 natural gas
production is now 67 percent hedged at the midpoint of production
guidance, with 119.9 Bcf of gas production locked-in at an average net
realized price of $3.45 per Mcf. In California, Seneca's fiscal 2016 oil
production is now 48 percent hedged at an average hedge price of $88.24
per Bbl.

As of November 1, 2015, National Fuel's Pipeline and Storage segment had
placed the Westside Expansion & Modernization and Tuscarora Lateral
projects into service. The Westside Expansion & Modernization project
along National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation's Line N corridor was built
on budget at a total capital cost of $86 million and will transport
175,000 Dth per day of natural gas for producers, including Seneca. The
Tuscarora Lateral, a project designed to sell storage services for the
first time to utility customers along National Fuel's Empire Pipeline,
also came in on budget at a capital cost of $58.5 million and added an
incremental 49,000 Dth per day of transportation capacity. Combined,
these two projects will generate approximately $20 million in
incremental annual demand revenues.

National Fuel is also nearing completion of compression facilities for
the Northern Access 2015 expansion project, a joint project with
Tennessee Gas Pipeline's Niagara Expansion. The Northern Access 2015
project provides capacity to transport 140,000 Dth per day of Seneca's
WDA production from a TGP interconnect with National Fuel's Clermont
Gathering System to the Canadian border at Niagara. National Fuel began
service on 40,000 Dth per day of capacity on November 1, 2015, and
expects the remaining 100,000 Dth per day to go in-service by December
1, 2015. At an estimated capital cost of $67.5 million, Northern Access
2015 will generate approximately $13 million in annual demand revenues
for National Fuel's Pipeline and Storage segment.

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS BY SEGMENT

The following discussion of the earnings of each segment is summarized
in a tabular form at pages 11 through 14 of this report. It may be
helpful to refer to those tables while reviewing this discussion.

Upstream Business

Exploration and Production Segment

The Exploration and Production segment operations are carried out by
Seneca Resources Corporation (“Seneca”). Seneca explores for, develops
and produces natural gas and oil reserves, primarily in Pennsylvania and
California.

The Exploration and Production segment’s loss in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2015 of $207.0 million, or $2.45 per share, compares to earnings
of $33.7 million, or $0.40 per share, in the prior year’s fourth
quarter, a decrease of $240.7 million or $2.85 per share. The decrease
was mainly due to a non-cash charge of $240.8 million to write down the
value of Seneca’s oil and natural gas reserves.

Seneca uses the full cost method of accounting for determining the book
value of its oil and natural gas properties. This accounting method
requires that Seneca perform a quarterly “ceiling test” to compare the
present value of future revenues from its oil and natural gas reserves
based on an unweighted arithmetic average of the first day of the month
oil and gas prices for each month within the 12-month period prior to
the end of the reporting period (“the ceiling”) with the book value of
those reserves at the balance sheet date. If the book value of the
reserves exceeds the ceiling, a non-cash impairment charge must be
recorded in order to reduce the book value of the reserves to the
calculated ceiling. Unless oil and gas prices improve significantly,
Seneca expects one or more additional impairment charges for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 2016.

In the fourth quarter of both fiscal 2015 and 2014, Seneca reduced its
deferred income tax liability $13.2 million and $7.0 million,
respectively. The adjustment was largely due to an anticipated increase
in firm transportation of natural gas to Canadian delivery points, which
decreased the effective tax rate used in the calculation of deferred tax
expense. Also, as a result of the Company’s net loss in fiscal 2015,
Seneca reversed $1.8 million of long-term, performance-based executive
stock compensation in the current year’s fourth quarter.

Excluding these items, Operating Results in the Exploration and
Production segment in the current year’s fourth quarter were $18.8
million, or $0.22 per share, compared to $26.7 million, or $0.31 per
share, in the prior year’s fourth quarter, a decrease of $7.9 million or
$0.09 per share. The decrease in Operating Results is mainly due to
lower natural gas production and lower crude oil prices. The weighted
average crude oil price received by Seneca (after hedging) for the
quarter ended September 30, 2015, was $66.40 per barrel (“Bbl”), a
decrease of $27.30 per Bbl compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter.
Higher natural gas prices realized after hedging increased operating
results. The weighted average natural gas price realized after hedging
for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, was $3.35 per thousand cubic
feet ("Mcf"), an increase of $0.16 per Mcf compared to the prior year’s
fourth quarter. That increase was largely the result of the decrease in
spot volumes quarter over quarter. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014,
Seneca had 9.1 Bcf of spot volumes that were sold at an average price of
$2.39 per Mcf. Seneca did not have any spot volumes during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2015.

Overall production of natural gas and crude oil for the current quarter
of 37.6 Bcfe decreased approximately 8.3 Bcfe, compared to the prior
year’s fourth quarter. The decrease in production was from Seneca’s
Appalachia properties and was largely due to approximately 13.0 Bcfe of
voluntary pricing related curtailments in the current year’s fourth
quarter. California production of 5.4 Bcfe was consistent with the prior
year’s fourth quarter.

On a per unit basis, quarterly depletion expense of $1.23 per Mcfe
decreased $0.53 per Mcfe due to higher natural gas reserve balances at
September 30, 2015, and the ceiling test impairment charges recorded in
the current year’s second and third quarters. On a per unit basis, lease
operating and transportation expenses (“LOE”) at $1.07 per Mcfe
increased $0.05 per Mcfe compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter
largely due to the pricing related curtailments discussed above (which
increased the relative proportion of higher cost California oil
production to the total), and higher transportation costs in Appalachia.
Lower overall production, due to curtailments, also caused per unit
general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) to increase by $0.07 to
$0.41 per Mcfe.

The Exploration and Production segment’s loss for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2015, of $557.0 million, or $6.60 per share, compares to
earnings of $121.6 million, or $1.43 per share, in the prior fiscal
year, a decrease of $678.6 million or $8.03 per share. The decrease was
mainly due to non-cash charges totaling $650.2 million recorded in the
current fiscal year to write down the value of Seneca’s oil and natural
gas reserves.

In addition to the ceiling test charges, other items impacted the
comparability of fiscal 2015 and 2014 results. Seneca reduced its
deferred tax liability by a total of $13.2 million in fiscal 2015, and
adjusted G&A for the year by $1.8 million as described above. The net
adjustment to reduce deferred taxes in 2014 was $4.0 million. Excluding
these items from the respective fiscal years, Operating Results in the
Exploration and Production segment were $78.2 million, or $0.92 per
share, compared to $117.6 million, or $1.38 per share in the prior year,
a decrease of $39.4 million or $0.46 per share. The decrease in
Operating Results is mainly due to lower commodity prices realized after
hedging. The weighted average natural gas price received by Seneca
(after hedging) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, was $3.38
per Mcf, a decrease of $0.18 per Mcf compared to the prior year. The
weighted average crude oil price realized after hedging for the current
fiscal year was $70.36 per Bbl, a decrease of $25.19 per Bbl compared to
the prior year.

Overall production of natural gas and crude oil for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 2015, of 157.8 Bcfe decreased approximately 2.8 Bcfe
compared to the prior year, due to pricing related curtailments in
Appalachia in the current year.

On a per unit basis for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015,
depletion expense of $1.52 per Mcfe decreased $0.33 per Mcfe due to
higher natural gas reserve balances at September 30, 2015, and the
ceiling test impairment charges recorded in the current year’s second
and third quarters. On a per unit basis, LOE at $1.06 per Mcfe increased
$0.03 per Mcfe and G&A at $0.42 per Mcfe increased $0.02 per Mcfe. The
per unit increases in LOE and G&A are due to the reasons noted above for
the quarter.

Midstream Businesses

Pipeline and Storage Segment

The Pipeline and Storage segment’s operations are carried out by
National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (“Supply Corporation”) and Empire
Pipeline, Inc. (“Empire”). The Pipeline and Storage segment provides
natural gas transportation and storage services to affiliated and
non-affiliated companies through an integrated system of pipelines and
underground natural gas storage fields in western New York and
Pennsylvania.

As a result of the ongoing pricing basis differentials in the
Appalachian region, the Pipeline and Storage segment continues to see
increased demand for transportation services from producers and
marketers to move natural gas supplies to higher priced markets.

The Pipeline and Storage segment’s earnings of $18.5 million, or $0.22
per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, decreased $0.6
million, or less than $0.01 per share when compared with the same period
in the prior fiscal year. In the fourth quarter, Supply and Empire
reversed a combined $1.2 million of long-term, performance-based
executive stock compensation. Excluding this item, Operating Results in
the Pipeline and Storage segment of $17.3 million, or $0.20 per share,
decreased $1.9 million, or $0.02 per share. Higher transportation
revenues from the Mercer Expansion project, which was placed in service
in the current year’s first quarter were more than offset by higher
operation and maintenance expense as well as increased interest expense
related to an incremental long-term debt issuance in the quarter ended
June 30, 2015.

The Pipeline and Storage segment’s earnings of $80.4 million, or $0.95
per share, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, increased $2.8
million, or $0.04 per share, when compared with the same period in the
prior fiscal year. Excluding the $1.2 million reversal mentioned above,
Operating Results in the Pipeline and Storage segment were $79.1
million, or $0.93 per share, an increase of $1.6 million or $0.02 per
share for the fiscal year. The increase in earnings is due to higher
non-affiliated revenues from the Mercer Expansion project and higher
transportation revenues from additional new short-term firm
transportation contracts on both the Supply Corporation and Empire
systems. Earnings also benefited from a higher allowance for funds used
during construction (AFUDC) associated with various pipeline expansion
projects. Earnings were reduced by higher operation and maintenance
expense, higher depreciation expense and higher property taxes due to
the completion of various expansion projects, as well as increased
interest expense related to an incremental long-term debt issuance in
the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Gathering Segment

The Gathering segment’s operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas
Midstream Corporation’s (“Midstream”) subsidiary limited liability
companies. The Gathering segment constructs, owns and operates natural
gas pipeline gathering facilities in the Appalachian region and
currently provides the gathering infrastructure for transporting
Seneca’s Marcellus Shale production to the interstate pipeline system.

The Gathering segment’s earnings of $7.6 million, or $0.09 per share,
for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, decreased $2.9 million, or
$0.03 per share, when compared with the same period in the prior fiscal
year. The decrease in earnings is primarily due to lower gathering
revenues resulting from Seneca’s lower production volumes in Appalachia
compared to the prior year’s fourth quarter.

The Gathering segment’s earnings of $31.8 million, or $0.38 per share,
for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 compares to earnings of
$32.7 million, or $0.39 per share, in the prior fiscal year. The
decrease in earnings is mainly due to higher depreciation, operating
expenses and income taxes. Higher gathering revenues, mostly due to a
change in the mix of Seneca’s production among Midstream's three major
gathering systems and a 0.9 Bcf increase in gathered volumes, largely
offset the higher expenses in the current fiscal year.

Downstream Businesses

Utility Segment

The Utility segment operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas
Distribution Corporation (“Distribution”), which sells or transports
natural gas to customers located in western New York and northwestern
Pennsylvania.

The Utility segment’s loss of $3.3 million, or $0.04 per share, for the
quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to a loss of $0.5 million, or
$0.01 per share, in the prior year’s fourth quarter. In the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2015, Distribution reversed $1.1 million of long-term,
performance-based executive stock compensation. Excluding this item,
Operating Results in the Utility segment, a loss of $4.4 million, or
$0.05 per share, compares to a loss of $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share.
The increased loss is mainly due to higher pension and other operation
and maintenance expense.

The Utility segment’s earnings of $63.3 million, or $0.75 per share, for
the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, decreased $0.8 million, or
less than $0.01 per share, when compared with the prior year. Excluding
the $1.1 million reversal noted above, Operating Results in the Utility
segment of $62.2 million, or $0.73 per share, decreased $1.9 million or
$0.02 per share, The decrease in earnings was due to higher depreciation
expense, higher pension expense and other operation and maintenance
expense mainly associated with the replacement of Distribution’s
customer billing system. The impact of regulatory true-up adjustments
and higher capacity release revenues partially offset the higher
expenses.

Energy Marketing Segment

National Fuel Resources, Inc. (“NFR”) comprises the Company’s Energy
Marketing segment. NFR markets natural gas to industrial, wholesale,
commercial, public authority and residential customers primarily in
western and central New York and northwestern Pennsylvania, offering
competitively priced natural gas to its customers.

The Energy Marketing segment’s earnings for the quarter ended September
30, 2015, of $0.03 million compared to earnings of $0.7 million in the
prior year’s fourth quarter. The decrease in earnings was due to lower
margins. Earnings for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, of $7.8
million, or $0.09 per share, increased $1.1 million, or $0.01 per share,
compared to the prior year primarily due to higher per unit margins,
which benefited from the weak pricing basis in the Northeast.

Corporate and All Other

The Corporate and All Other category primarily includes corporate
operations. The category also includes the remaining operations of
Seneca’s Northeast division that markets high quality hardwoods from
Appalachian land holdings.

The Corporate and All Other category loss of $3.5 million in the quarter
ended September 30, 2015, compares to a loss of $6.0 million in the
prior year’s fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Corporate and
All Other category reversed $0.9 million of long-term, performance-based
executive stock compensation. Excluding this item, Operating Results in
the Corporate and All category, a loss or $4.4 million compares to a
loss of $6.0 million in the prior year’s fourth quarter. The decreased
loss is due to lower income tax expense.

The Corporate and All Other category loss of $5.7 million in the fiscal
year ended September 30, 2015, compares to a loss of $3.1 million in the
prior year. The comparability of the fiscal year results is impacted by
a $3.6 million gain recognized on corporate-owned executive life
insurance policies recorded in the prior year’s second quarter and the
$0.9 million reversal noted above. Excluding these items, Operating
Results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, a loss of $6.6
million is largely unchanged from a loss of $6.7 million in the prior
year.

EARNINGS GUIDANCE

The Company is updating its earnings guidance for fiscal 2016 to a range
of $2.85 to $3.15 per share (exclusive of any ceiling test impairment
charges) at the midpoint a $0.15 per share decrease from the Company’s
previous guidance of $3.00 to $3.30. That decrease is attributable to a
reduction in Seneca’s commodity price assumptions. For fiscal 2016,
NYMEX natural gas prices are now assumed to average $2.75 per MMBtu,
down $0.50 from the previous forecast. NYMEX crude oil prices are now
assumed to average $50.00 per Bbl, down $5.00 from the previous forecast.

Seneca’s forecast oil and gas production for fiscal 2016 is now a range
of 161 to 232 Bcfe (previous range was 158 to 232 Bcfe).

While the Company currently expects one or more ceiling test impairment
charges in fiscal 2016, the amount of these charges is not reasonably
determinable at this time. The amount of any ceiling test charge is
determined at the end of the applicable quarter and will depend on many
factors, including additions to or subtractions from proved reserves,
fluctuations in oil and gas prices, and income tax effects related to
the differences between the book and tax basis of the Company’s oil and
gas properties. Some or all of these factors are likely to be
significant. Because the amount of the expected ceiling test impairment
charges is not reasonably determinable at this time, the Company is
unable to provide earnings guidance other than on a non-GAAP basis that
excludes those charges.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to financial measures calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release
contains information regarding Operating Results and Adjusted EBITDA,
which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that these
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 and 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 in accordance with GAAP.

Management defines Operating Results as reported GAAP earnings before
items impacting comparability. The table at page 2 of this report
reconciles National Fuel's reported GAAP earnings to Operating Results
for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Management 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.

The following tables reconcile National Fuel's reported GAAP earnings to
Adjusted EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2015
and 2014:
