NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands, except per unit amounts)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of CONSOL Operating and CONSOL Thermal Holdings, wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries.

The Partnership is a master limited partnership formed on March 16, 2015 to manage and further develop all of our sponsor's active coal operations in Pennsylvania. As of June 30, 2020, the Partnership's assets are comprised of a 25% undivided interest in, and operational control over, the Pennsylvania Mining Complex. The Partnership's common units trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “CCR.”

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this Update provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The Update also provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications by Topic or Industry Subtopic as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Once elected for a Topic or an Industry Subtopic, the amendments in this Update must be applied prospectively for all eligible contract modifications for that Topic or Industry Subtopic. Management has elected to apply this Update subsequent to March 12, 2020. Management does not expect this Update to have a material impact on the Partnership's financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14 - Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP. The amendments modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. These changes will be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on the presentation of the Partnership's financial statements.

NOTE 2—REVENUE:

The following table disaggregates our revenue from contracts with customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019:

	*Three Months Ended June 30,*				*Six Months Ended June 30,*
	*2020*		*2019*		*2020*		*2019*
Coal Revenue	$	25,507	$	87,655	$	89,370	$	170,781
Freight Revenue		771		964		1,558		2,629
Total Revenue from Contracts with Customers	$	26,278	$	88,619	$	90,928	$	173,410

Coal Revenue

Coal revenue is generally recognized when title passes to the customer and the price is fixed and determinable. Generally, title passes when coal is loaded at the central preparation facility and, on occasion, at terminal locations or other customer destinations. Our coal contract revenue per ton is fixed and determinable and adjusted for nominal quality adjustments. Some coal contracts also contain positive electric power price-related adjustments, which represent market-driven price adjustments, wherein there is no additional value exchanged, in addition to a fixed base price per ton. The Partnership's coal contracts generally do not allow for retroactive adjustments to pricing after title to the coal has passed. Our coal supply contracts and other sales and operating revenue contracts vary in length from short-term to long-term contracts and do not typically have significant financing components.

The estimated transaction price from each of our contracts is based on the total amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled under the contract. Included in the transaction price for certain coal supply contracts is the impact of variable consideration, including quality price adjustments, handling services, per-ton price fluctuations based on certain coal sales price indices and anticipated payments in lieu of shipments. The estimated transaction price for each contract is allocated to our performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices determined at contract inception. We have determined that each ton of coal represents a separate and distinct performance obligation. Some of our contracts span multiple years and have annual pricing modification provisions, based upon market-driven or inflationary adjustments, where no additional value is exchanged. Management believes that the invoice price is the most appropriate rate at which to recognize revenue.

While we do, from time to time, experience costs of obtaining coal customer contracts with amortization periods greater than one year, those costs are generally immaterial to our net income. As of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, we do not have any capitalized costs to obtain customer contracts on our balance sheet nor have we recognized any amortization of previously existing capitalized costs of obtaining customer contracts. Further, the Partnership has not recognized any coal revenue in the current period from performance obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in previous periods.

Freight Revenue

Some of our coal contracts require that we sell our coal at locations other than our central preparation plant. The cost to transport our coal to the ultimate sales point is passed through to our customers and we recognize the freight revenue equal to the transportation cost when title of the coal passes to the customer.

Contract Balances

Contract assets are recorded separately from trade receivables in the Partnership's unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reclassified to trade receivables as title passes to the customer and the Partnership's right to consideration becomes unconditional. Payments for coal shipments are typically due within two to four weeks of the invoice date. The Partnership typically does not have material contract assets that are stated separately from trade receivables as the Partnership's performance obligations are satisfied as control of the goods or services passes to the customer, thereby granting the Partnership an unconditional right to receive consideration. Contract liabilities relate to consideration received in advance of the satisfaction of the Partnership's performance obligations. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue at the point in time when control of the good or service passes to the customer.

NOTE 3—NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNER AND GENERAL PARTNER INTEREST:

The Partnership allocates net income among our general partner and limited partners using the two-class method in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance. Under the two-class method, we allocate our net income to our limited partners and our general partner in accordance with the terms of our Partnership Agreement. We also allocate any earnings in excess of distributions to our limited partners and our general partner in accordance with the terms of our Partnership Agreement. We allocate any distributions in excess of earnings for the period to our general partner and our limited partners based on their respective proportionate ownership interests in us, after taking into account distributions to be paid with respect to the incentive distribution rights, as set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

Diluted net income per limited partner unit reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or agreements to issue common units, such as awards under the long-term incentive plan, were exercised, settled or converted into common units. When it is determined that potential common units resulting from an award subject to performance or market conditions should be included in the diluted net income per limited partner unit calculation, the impact is reflected by applying the treasury stock method.

On August 16, 2019, all 11,611,067 subordinated units were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis. For purposes of calculating net income per common and subordinated unit, the conversion of the subordinated units is deemed to have occurred on July 1, 2019. The conversion did not impact the amount of the cash distribution paid or the total number of the Partnership’s outstanding units representing limited partner interests. Upon payment of the cash distribution for the second quarter of 2019, the financial requirements for the conversion of all subordinated units were satisfied.

The following table illustrates the Partnership’s calculation of net (loss) income per unit for common and subordinated partner units:

	*Three Months Ended June 30,*					*Six Months Ended June 30,*
	*2020*			*2019*		*2020*			*2019*
Net (Loss) Income	$	(7,854	)	$	14,387	$	(7,690	)	$	29,607

Subordinated Units	$	—		$	0.51	$	—		$	1.05

Net (Loss) Income Per Limited Partner Unit - Diluted	$	(0.28	)	$	0.51	$	(0.27	)	$	1.05

There were 33,705 and 39,673 phantom units excluded from the computation of the diluted earnings per unit, because their effect would be anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. There were no phantom units excluded from the computation of the diluted earnings per unit, because their effect would be anti-dilutive for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

NOTE 4—CREDIT LOSSES:

Effective January 1, 2020, the Partnership adopted ASU 2016-013, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments using a modified retrospective approach. This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment model with an expected credit loss impairment model for financial instruments, including trade and other receivables. The amendment requires entities to consider forward-looking information to estimate expected credit losses, resulting in earlier recognition of losses for receivables that are current or not yet due, which were not considered under previous accounting guidance. The Partnership recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease retained earnings in the amount of $251 for expected credit losses on financial assets at the adoption date.

The following table illustrates the impact of ASC 326.

	January 1, 2020
	As Reported Under ASC 326		Pre-ASC 326 Adoption		Impact of ASC 326 Adoption

Trade Receivables	$	763	$	525	$	238
Other Receivables		32		19		13
Allowance for Credit Losses on Receivables	$	795	$	544	$	251

The Partnership is exposed to credit losses primarily through sales of products and services. The Partnership's expected loss allowance methodology for accounts receivable is developed using historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers' trade and other accounts receivables. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimate of the amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on an aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Partnership's monitoring activities include timely account reconciliations, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers' financial condition and macroeconomic conditions.

Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible. The Partnership considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and determined that the estimate of credit losses was not significantly impacted.

Management estimates the allowance balance using relevant available information, from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for changes to the assessment of anticipated payment, changes in economic conditions, current industry trends in the markets the Partnership serves, and changes in the financial health of the Partnership's counterparties.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses by portfolio segment that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of coal inventories is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Coal inventory costs include labor, supplies, equipment costs, operating overhead, depreciation, depletion and amortization, and other related costs. The cost of supplies inventory is determined by the average cost method and includes operating and maintenance supplies to be used in our coal operations.

Coal reserves are controlled either through fee ownership or by lease. The duration of the leases varies; however, the lease terms generally are extended automatically to the exhaustion of economically recoverable coal reserves, as long as active mining continues. Coal interests held by lease provide the same rights as fee ownership for mineral extraction and are legally considered real property interests.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, property, plant and equipment includes gross assets under finance lease of $19,794 and $12,596, respectively. Accumulated amortization for finance leases was $10,350 and $7,351 at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Amortization expense for assets under finance leases approximated $1,376 and $966 for the three months ended and $2,606 and $1,933 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively, and is included in Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Affiliated Company Credit Agreement

On November 28, 2017, the Partnership and the other Credit Parties entered into the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement by and among the Credit Parties, CONSOL Energy, as lender and administrative agent, and PNC. On June 5, 2020, the Partnership amended the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement to provide eight quarters of financial covenant relaxation, effected a 50 basis points increase in the rate at which borrowings under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement bear interest, and added additional conditions to be met for the covenants relating to general investments, investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, and distributions to equity holders of the Partnership. The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement has a maturity date of December 28, 2024. The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $275,000 to be provided by CONSOL Energy, as lender. In connection with the Partnership’s entry into the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement, the Partnership made an initial draw of $200,583, the net proceeds of which were used to repay the amounts outstanding under the Partnership's prior credit facility. Additional drawings under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement are available for general partnership purposes. The obligations under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Partnership’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership and its subsidiaries pursuant to the security agreement and various mortgages.

Interest on outstanding obligations under our Affiliated Company Credit Agreement accrues at a fixed rate ranging from 4.25% to 5.25%, depending on the total net leverage ratio. The unused portion of our Affiliated Company Credit Agreement is subject to a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum. The Partnership had available capacity under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement of $95,440 and $94,075 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement contains certain covenants and conditions that, among other things, limit the Partnership’s ability to: (i) incur or guarantee additional debt; (ii) make cash distributions; provided that we will be able to make cash distributions of available cash to partners so long as the Partnership's first lien gross leverage ratio shall not be greater than 2.00 to 1.00, the fixed charge coverage ratio shall be not less than 1.00 to 1.00, and no event of default is continuing or would result therefrom; (iii) incur certain liens or permit them to exist; (iv) make particular investments and loans; provided that we will be able to increase our ownership percentage of our undivided interest in the Pennsylvania Mining Complex and make investments in the Pennsylvania Mining Complex in accordance with our ratable ownership; (v) enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; (vi) merge or consolidate with another company; and (vii) transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of assets. The Partnership is also subject to covenants that require the Partnership to maintain certain financial ratios, each of which will be calculated on a consolidated basis for the Partnership and its restricted subsidiaries at the end of each fiscal quarter. The amendment revised the financial covenants in the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement, so that for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 3.75 to 1.00 and the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 4.00 to 1.00; for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2021 through September 30, 2021, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 3.50 to 1.00 and the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 3.75 to 1.00; for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2021 through March 31, 2022, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 3.00 to 1.00 and the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 3.50 to 1.00; and for the fiscal quarters ending on or after June 30, 2022, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 2.75 to 1.00 and the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 3.25 to 1.00. At June 30, 2020, the Partnership was in compliance with its financial covenants with a first lien gross leverage ratio of 2.93 to 1.00 and a total net leverage ratio of 2.93 to 1.00. The Partnership is continuing to actively monitor the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on its liquidity and capital resources. We took several steps in the first half of 2020 to reinforce our liquidity. From a coal shipment perspective, we seemed to have hit the bottom in May 2020. However, if the demand for our coal continues to decrease, this could adversely affect our liquidity in future quarters and, as a result, our ability to comply with these covenants over the next twelve months.

Other Asset-Backed Financing

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Partnership was a borrower under an asset-backed financing arrangement related to certain equipment. The equipment, which had an approximate value of $4,231 and $1,443, respectively, fully collateralizes the loan.

NOTE 9—COMPONENTS OF COAL WORKERS’ PNEUMOCONIOSIS (CWP) AND WORKERS’ COMPENSATION NET PERIODIC BENEFIT COSTS:

The Partnership is obligated to CONSOL Energy for medical and disability benefits to certain CPCC employees and their dependents resulting from occurrences of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis disease and is also obligated to CONSOL Energy to compensate certain individuals who are entitled benefits under workers’ compensation laws.

NOTE 10—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

The Partnership determines the fair value of assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair values are based on assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in valuation techniques and the inputs to valuations. The fair value hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources (including LIBOR-based discount rates), while unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s own assumptions of what market participants would use.

The fair value hierarchy includes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as described below.

Level One - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level Two - The fair value of the assets and liabilities included in Level 2 are based on standard industry income approach models that use significant observable inputs, including LIBOR-based discount rates.

Table of Contents

Level Three - Unobservable inputs significant to the fair value measurement supported by little or no market activity. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Partnership’s third party guarantees are the credit risk of the third party and the third party surety bond markets.

In those cases when the inputs used to measure fair value meet the definition of more than one level of the fair value hierarchy, the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its totality determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value for which the fair value option was not elected:

Long-term debt: The fair value of long-term debt is measured using unadjusted quoted market prices or estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discounted cash flow analyses are based on current market rates for instruments with similar cash flows.

The carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments for which the fair value option was not elected are as follows:

	*June 30, 2020*				*December 31, 2019*
	*Carrying*		*Fair*		*Carrying*		*Fair*
	*Amount*		*Value*		*Amount*		*Value*
Affiliated Company Credit Agreement—Related Party	$	179,560	$	172,378	$	180,925	$	180,925

The Partnership’s debt obligations are valued through reference to the applicable underlying benchmark rate and, as a result, constitute Level 2 fair value measurements.

NOTE 11—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:

The Partnership is subject to various lawsuits and claims with respect to such matters as personal injury, wrongful death, damage to property, exposure to hazardous substances, governmental regulations (including environmental remediation), employment and contract disputes and other claims and actions arising out of the normal course of its business. We accrue the estimated loss for these lawsuits and claims when the loss is probable and can be estimated. Our current estimated accruals related to these pending claims, individually and in the aggregate, are immaterial to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Partnership. It is possible that the aggregate loss in the future with respect to these lawsuits and claims could ultimately be material to the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Partnership; however, such amounts cannot be reasonably estimated.

At June 30, 2020, the Partnership was contractually obligated to CONSOL Energy for financial guarantees and letters of credit to certain third parties which were issued by CONSOL Energy on behalf of the Partnership. The maximum potential total of future payments that we could be required to make under these instruments is $99,594. The instruments are comprised of $676 of letters of credit expiring within the next three years, $90,220 of environmental surety bonds expiring within the next three years, and $8,698 of employee-related and other surety bonds expiring within the next three years. Employee-related financial guarantees have primarily been provided to support various state workers’ compensation and federal black lung self-insurance programs. Environmental financial guarantees have primarily been provided to support various performance bonds related to reclamation and other environmental issues. Other guarantees have been extended to support insurance policies, legal matters, full and timely payments of mining equipment leases, and various other items necessary in the normal course of business. These amounts have not been reduced for potential recoveries under recourse or collateralization provisions. Generally, recoveries under reclamation bonds would be limited to the extent of the work performed at the time of the default. No amounts related to these financial guarantees and letters of credit are recorded as liabilities on the financial statements. The Partnership’s management believes that these guarantees will expire without being funded, and therefore the commitments will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Partnership.

NOTE 12—RECEIVABLES FINANCING AGREEMENT

On November 30, 2017, (i) CONSOL Marine Terminals LLC, as an originator of receivables, (ii) CPCC, as an originator of receivables and as initial servicer of the receivables for itself and the other originators (collectively, the “Originators”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of CONSOL Energy, and (iii) CONSOL Funding LLC (the “SPV”), as buyer, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”). Concurrently, (i) CONSOL Thermal Holdings, as sub-originator, and (ii) CPCC, as buyer and as initial servicer of the receivables for itself and CONSOL Thermal Holdings, entered into a Sub-Originator Agreement (the “Sub-Originator PSA”). In addition, on that date, the SPV entered into a Receivables Financing Agreement (the “Receivables Financing Agreement”) by and among (i) the SPV, as borrower, (ii) CPCC, as initial servicer, (iii) PNC, as administrative agent, LC Bank and lender, and (iv) the additional persons from time to time party thereto as lenders. Together, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Sub-Originator PSA and the Receivables Financing Agreement establish the primary terms and conditions of an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization”). In March 2020, the Securitization was amended, among other things, to extend the scheduled termination date to March 27, 2023.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Securitization, (i) CONSOL Thermal Holdings will sell current and future trade receivables to CPCC and (ii) the Originators will sell and/or contribute current and future trade receivables (including receivables sold to CPCC by CONSOL Thermal Holdings) to the SPV and the SPV will, in turn, pledge its interests in the receivables to PNC, which will either make loans or issue letters of credit on behalf of the SPV. The maximum amount of advances and letters of credit outstanding under the Securitization may not exceed $100,000. Loans under the Securitization will accrue interest at a reserve-adjusted LIBOR market index rate equal to the one-month Eurodollar rate. Loans and letters of credit under the Securitization also will accrue a program fee and participation fee, respectively, ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of CONSOL Energy. In addition, the SPV paid certain structuring fees to PNC Capital Markets LLC and will pay other customary fees to the lenders, including a fee on unused commitments. The SPV’s assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations owed to the creditors of CONSOL Energy, CONSOL Thermal Holdings or any of the Originators. CONSOL Thermal Holdings, the Originators and CPCC as servicer are independently liable for their own customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. In addition, CONSOL Energy has guaranteed the performance of the obligations of CONSOL Thermal Holdings, the Originators and CPCC as servicer, and will guarantee the obligations of any additional originators or successor servicer that may become party to the Securitization. However, neither CONSOL Energy nor its affiliates will guarantee collectability of receivables or the creditworthiness of obligors thereunder.

The Securitization contains various customary representations and warranties, covenants and default provisions which provide for the termination and acceleration of the commitments and loans under the Securitization in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, breach of representation, warranty or covenant, certain insolvency events or failure to maintain the security interest in the trade receivables, and defaults under other material indebtedness.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, the Partnership, through CONSOL Thermal Holdings, had sold $22,386 and $33,294 of trade receivables to CPCC. The Partnership has not derecognized the receivables due to its continued involvement in the collections efforts.

NOTE 13—RELATED PARTY:

Omnibus Agreement

The Partnership is a party to the Omnibus Agreement, dated September 30, 2016, as amended on November 28, 2017, with our sponsor and certain of its subsidiaries. Under the Omnibus Agreement, we are obligated to make certain payments to, and reimburse, CONSOL Energy for the provision of certain services in connection with our operations.

Charges for services from CONSOL Energy under the Omnibus Agreement include the following:

	*Three Months Ended*				*Six Months Ended*
	*June 30,*				*June 30,*
	*2020*		*2019*		*2020*		*2019*

Total Services from CONSOL Energy	$	2,720	$	2,741	$	6,366	$	6,560

At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Partnership had a net payable to CONSOL Energy in the amount of $4,731 and $1,419, respectively. This payable includes reimbursements for business expenses, executive fees, stock-based compensation and other items under the Omnibus Agreement.

Affiliated Company Credit Agreement

As described in Note 8, the Partnership is also a party to the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement with CONSOL Energy.

Table of Contents

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, $2,163 and $4,277 of interest was incurred under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement, respectively, of which $98 and $216 was capitalized and included in Property, Plant and Equipment in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, $1,971 and $3,766 of interest was incurred under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement, respectively, of which $414 and $858 was capitalized and included in Property, Plant and Equipment in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. Interest is calculated based upon a fixed rate, determined quarterly, depending on the total net leverage ratio. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the average interest rate was 4.27% and 4.14%, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 the average interest rate was 3.75%. See Note 8 - Long-Term Debt for more information.

Repurchase Program

In May 2019, CONSOL Energy's Board of Directors approved an expansion of the stock, unit and debt repurchase program. The program previously allowed CONSOL Energy to use up to $25 million of the program to purchase the Partnership's outstanding common units in the open market. CONSOL Energy's Board of Directors approved changing the termination date of the program from June 30, 2019 to June 30, 2020. Also, in accordance with CONSOL Energy’s credit facility covenants, the total amount that can be used for repurchases of the Partnership's outstanding common units was raised to $50 million. No common units were repurchased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 6,884 common units were repurchased at an average price of $17.35 per unit.

Conversion of Subordinated Units

In August 2019, upon payment of the cash distribution with respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the financial requirements for the conversion of all the Partnership's subordinated units were satisfied. As a result, all 11,611,067 subordinated units, owned entirely by CONSOL Energy Inc., were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis. The conversion did not impact the amount of the cash distribution paid or the total number of the Partnership’s outstanding units representing limited partner interests.

NOTE 14—LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN:

Under the CONSOL Coal Resources LP 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), our general partner may issue long-term equity-based awards to directors, officers and employees of our general partner or its affiliates, or to any consultants, affiliates of our general partner or other individuals who perform services for us. These awards are intended to compensate the recipients thereof based on the performance of our common units and their continued service during the vesting period, as well as to align their long-term interests with those of our unitholders. We are responsible for the cost of awards granted under the LTIP and all determinations with respect to awards to be made under the LTIP will be made by the board of directors of our general partner or any committee thereof that may be established for such purpose or by any delegate of the board of directors or such committee, subject to applicable law, which we refer to as the plan administrator.

The LTIP limits the number of units that may be delivered pursuant to vested awards to 2,300,000 common units, subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of unit splits and similar events. Common units subject to awards that are canceled, forfeited, withheld to satisfy exercise prices or tax withholding obligations or otherwise terminated without delivery of the common units will be available for delivery pursuant to other awards. The Partnership recognizes forfeitures as they occur.

Table of Contents

The general partner has granted equity-based phantom units that vest over a period of a recipient’s continued service with the Partnership. The phantom units will be paid in common units or an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of a unit based on the vesting date. The awards may accelerate upon a change in control of the Partnership. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting term. The Partnership recognized compensation expense of $74 and $341 for the three months ended and $233 and $738 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively, which is included in Selling, General and Administrative Expense in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2020, there is $185 of unearned compensation that will vest over a weighted average period of 0.62 years. There were no phantom units that vested during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019. The total fair value of phantom units vested during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $820 and $2,905, respectively. The following represents the nonvested phantom units and their corresponding weighted average grant date fair value:

	*Number of Units*			*Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Unit*
Nonvested at December 31, 2019		78,345		$	18.62
Granted		33,705		$	8.90

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless otherwise indicated, the following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of our Partnership reflect a 25% undivided interest in the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Pennsylvania Mining Complex. As used in the following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of our Partnership, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” or like terms refer to the Partnership with respect to its 25% undivided interest in the Pennsylvania Mining Complex’s combined assets, liabilities, revenues and costs. All amounts discussed in this section are in thousands, except for per unit or per ton amounts, unless otherwise indicated.

COVID-19 Update

The Partnership is monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has taken, and will continue to take, steps to mitigate the potential risks and impact on the Partnership. The health and safety of our sponsor's employees is paramount. In response to two of our sponsor's employees testing positive for COVID-19, our sponsor temporarily curtailed production at the Bailey Mine for two weeks at the end of March. Second quarter production at the Bailey Mine began on April 13th. Our sponsor continues to monitor the health and safety of its employees closely in order to limit potential risks to its employees, contractors, family members, and the community.

We are considered a critical infrastructure company by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. As a result, we were exempt from Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf's executive order, issued in March 2020, closing all businesses that are not life sustaining. The coal demand decline that began in the first quarter continued through the second quarter and into the third quarter of 2020, driven by the widespread lockdowns caused by COVID-19. In response to the decline in demand for our coal, our sponsor announced on April 14, 2020 that it temporarily idled production at the Enlow Fork mine, and temporarily idled production at the Bailey mine on May 2, 2020. Limited production began again at the Bailey Mine on June 8, 2020. This decline in coal demand has negatively impacted our operational, sales, and financial performance year-to-date, and we expect that this negative impact will continue as the pandemic continues.

While some of the government-imposed shutdowns of nonessential business in the United States and abroad have been phased out, there is a possibility that such shutdowns may be reimposed if COVID-19 experiences a resurgence. We expect that depressed domestic and international demand for our coal will continue for so long as there are widespread, government-imposed shutdowns of business activity. Depressed demand for our coal may also result from a general recession or reduction in overall business activity caused by COVID-19. Additionally, some of our customers have already attempted, and may in the future attempt, to invoke force majeure or similar provisions in the contracts they have in place with us in order to avoid taking possession of, and paying us for, our coal that they are contractually obligated to purchase. Sustained decrease in demand for our coal and the failure of our customers to purchase coal from us that they are obligated to purchase pursuant to existing contracts would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. The extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact our business depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including new information concerning the severity of the outbreak and the effectiveness of actions globally to contain or mitigate its effects. We expect this matter to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Due to the current level of uncertainty over the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19, the Partnership withdrew its previously announced operational and financial guidance for 2020 in the first quarter. The Partnership will continue to take the appropriate steps to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on the Partnership's operations, liquidity and financial condition.

We are a master limited partnership formed in 2015 to manage and further develop all of our sponsor's active coal operations in Pennsylvania. Our primary strategy for growing our business is to increase operating efficiencies to maximize realizations and make acquisitions that increase our distributable cash flow. At June 30, 2020, the Partnership’s assets include a 25% undivided interest in, and operational control over, CONSOL Energy’s Pennsylvania Mining Complex, which consists of three underground mines and related infrastructure that produce high-Btu coal that is sold primarily to electric utilities in the eastern United States. We believe that our ability to efficiently produce and deliver large volumes of high-quality coal at competitive prices, the strategic location of our mines, and the industry experience of our management team position us as a leading producer of high-Btu thermal coal in the Northern Appalachian Basin and the eastern United States.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Our management team uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability. The metrics include: (i) coal production, sales volumes and average revenue per ton; (ii) cost of coal sold, a non-GAAP financial measure; (iii) cash cost of coal sold, a non-GAAP financial measure; (iv) average cash margin per ton, an operating ratio derived from non-GAAP financial measures; (v) adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure; and (vi) distributable cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure.

Cost of coal sold, cash cost of coal sold, average cash margin per ton, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow normalize the volatility contained within comparable GAAP measures by adjusting certain non-operating or non-cash transactions. Each of these non-GAAP metrics are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, industry analysts, lenders and ratings agencies, to assess:

•

our operating performance as compared to the operating performance of other companies in the coal industry, without regard to financing methods, historical cost basis or capital structure;

•

the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our partners;

•

our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures;

•

the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities; and

•

the attractiveness of capital projects and acquisitions and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to total costs, total coal revenue, net income, operating cash flow, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These measures exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income or net cash, and these measures and the way we calculate them may vary from those of other companies. As a result, the items presented below may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We evaluate our cost of coal sold and cash cost of coal sold on an aggregate basis. We define cost of coal sold as operating and other production costs related to produced tons sold, along with changes in coal inventory, both in volumes and carrying values. The cost of coal sold includes items such as direct operating costs, royalty and production taxes, direct administration, and depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on production assets. Our costs exclude any indirect costs such as selling, general and administrative costs, freight expenses, interest expenses, depreciation, depletion and amortization costs on non-production assets and other costs not directly attributable to the production of coal. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to cost of coal sold and cash cost of coal sold is total costs. The cash cost of coal sold includes cost of coal sold less depreciation, depletion and amortization cost on production assets.

We define adjusted EBITDA as (i) net income (loss) before net interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, as adjusted for (ii) certain non-cash items, such as long-term incentive awards including phantom units under the CONSOL Coal Resources LP 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Unit-Based Compensation”). The GAAP measure most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA is net income.

We define distributable cash flow as (i) net income before net interest expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, as adjusted for (ii) certain non-cash items, such as Unit-Based Compensation, less net cash interest paid and estimated maintenance capital expenditures, which is defined as those forecasted average capital expenditures required to maintain, over the long-term, the operating capacity of our capital assets. These estimated capital expenditures do not reflect the actual cash capital incurred in the period presented. Distributable cash flow will not reflect changes in working capital balances. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to distributable cash flow are net income and net cash provided by operating activities.

Coal Production

The table below presents total tons produced from the Pennsylvania Mining Complex on our 25% undivided interest for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended June 30,
Mine	2020		2019		Variance
Bailey		251		807		(556	)
Enlow Fork		61		615		(554	)
Harvey		284		384		(100	)
Total		596		1,806		(1,210	)

Coal production was 596 tons for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 1,806 tons for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Coal production decreased 1,210 tons primarily due to the temporary idling of longwalls at the Bailey and Enlow Fork mines in response to the decline in global demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The widespread government-imposed shutdowns in various parts of the world significantly reduced electricity consumption and, therefore, demand for the Partnership's coal.

Coal Operations

Coal revenue and cost components on a per-unit basis for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are detailed in the table below. Our operations also include various costs such as selling, general and administrative, freight and other costs not included in our unit cost analysis because these costs are not directly associated with coal production.

(1) Average cash cost of coal sold per ton, average margin per ton sold and average cash margin per ton sold are each an operating ratio derived from non-GAAP measures. See “How We Evaluate Our Operations – Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Revenue and Other Income

Coal revenue was $25,507 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $87,655 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Total tons sold decreased in the period-to-period comparison in response to weakened customer demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic and, in response, the widespread government-imposed shutdowns, which have significantly reduced electricity consumption and, therefore, demand for the Partnership's coal. The decrease in customer demand resulted in lower pricing received on our sales contracts.

Freight revenue is the amount billed to customers for transportation costs incurred. This revenue is based on the weight of coal shipped, negotiated freight rates and method of transportation, primarily rail, used by the customers for which we contractually provide transportation services. Freight revenue is completely offset in freight expense. Freight revenue and freight expense were both $771 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $964 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The $193 decrease was due to decreased shipments to customers where we were contractually obligated to provide transportation services.

Table of Contents

Other income is comprised of income generated by the Partnership relating to non-coal producing activities. Other income was $7,549 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1,028 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The $6,521 increase was primarily the result of additional customer contract buyouts in the three months ended June 30, 2020, offset, in part, by a decrease in sales of externally purchased coal to blend and resell. These partial contract buyouts involved negotiations to reduce the coal quantities several customers were previously committed to purchase under the contracts in exchange for payment of certain fees to us, and do not impact forward contract terms.

Cost of Coal Sold

Cost of coal sold is comprised of operating costs related to produced tons sold, along with changes in both volumes and carrying values of coal inventory. The cost of coal sold includes items such as direct operating costs, royalties and production taxes, direct administration expenses, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization costs on production assets. Total cost of coal sold was $22,303 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, or $46,067 lower than the $68,370 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Average cost of coal sold per ton was $38.32 per ton for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $37.07 per ton for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in the total cost of coal sold was primarily driven by decreased production activity during the three months ended June 30, 2020, in response to weakened commodity markets. On a per-unit basis, the decreased production resulted in an overall increase in the average cost of coal sold per ton.

Total Other Costs

Total other costs are comprised of various costs that are not allocated to each individual mine and therefore are not included in unit costs. Total other costs increased $12,577 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to $11,532 in costs related to the temporary idling of the Bailey and Enlow Fork mines due to the impact of COVID-19 on demand for the Partnership's coal.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense

Selling, general, and administrative expenses remained materially consistent in the period-to-period comparison.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, which primarily relates to obligations under our Affiliated Company Credit Agreement, remained materially consistent in the period-to-period comparison.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $5,994 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $27,621 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The $21,627 decrease was primarily a result of a $19,500 decrease in the cash margin and an increase in non-production related costs, partially offset by higher non-production related income, as discussed above.

Distributable Cash Flow

Distributable cash flow was ($4,666) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $16,778 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The $21,444 decrease was primarily attributable to a $21,627 decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, as discussed above.

Other income is comprised of income generated by the Partnership relating to non-coal producing activities. Other income was $10,267 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2,344 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $7,923 increase was primarily the result of additional customer contract buyouts in the six months ended June 30, 2020, offset, in part, by a decrease in sales of externally purchased coal to blend and resell. These partial contract buyouts involved negotiations to reduce the coal quantities several customers were previously committed to purchase under the contracts in exchange for payment of certain fees to us, and do not impact forward contract terms.

Cost of Coal Sold

Cost of coal sold is comprised of operating costs related to produced tons sold, along with changes in both volumes and carrying values of coal inventory. The cost of coal sold includes items such as direct operating costs, royalties and production taxes, direct administration expenses, and depreciation, depletion, and amortization costs on production assets. Total cost of coal sold was $81,546 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, or $47,294 lower than the $128,840 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Average cost of coal sold per ton was $39.55 per ton for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $36.52 per ton for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in the total cost of coal sold was primarily driven by decreased production activity during the six months ended June 30, 2020 in response to weakened commodity markets. On a per-unit basis, the decreased production resulted in an overall increase in the average cost of coal sold per ton.

Total Other Costs

Total other costs are comprised of various costs that are not allocated to each individual mine and therefore are not included in unit costs. Total other costs increased $10,709 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to $11,532 in costs related to the temporary idling of the Bailey and Enlow Fork mines due to the COVID-19 pandemic and, in response, the widespread government-imposed shutdowns, which have significantly reduced electricity consumption and power prices and, therefore, demand for the Partnership's coal.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expense

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $1,107 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to several initiatives launched by management to reduce costs, including compensation reductions, curtailment of discretionary expenses, and headcount management.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, which primarily relates to obligations under our Affiliated Company Credit Agreement increased $1,501 primarily due to less interest capitalized in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $20,400 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $55,806 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $35,406 decrease was primarily a result of a $36,781 decrease in the cash margin and an increase in non-production related costs, partially offset by higher non-production related income, as discussed above.

Distributable Cash Flow

Distributable cash flow was $(1,219) for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $34,107 for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $35,326 decrease was primarily attributable to a $35,406 decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, as discussed above.

Our ongoing potential sources of liquidity include cash generated from operations, borrowings under our Affiliated Company Credit Agreement, and, if necessary, the ability to issue additional equity or debt securities (either directly or indirectly). We believe that cash generated from these sources should be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements and our long-term capital expenditure requirements.

The demand for coal experienced unprecedented decline towards the end of the first quarter of 2020, and continued through the second quarter and into the third quarter of 2020, driven by the widespread government-imposed lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has drastically reduced electricity usage, and therefore, demand for our coal. This decline in coal demand has negatively impacted our operational, sales and financial performance year-to-date and we expect that this negative impact will continue as the pandemic continues.

While some of the government-imposed shutdowns of nonessential business in the United States and abroad have been phased out, there is a possibility that such shutdowns may be reimposed if COVID-19 experiences a resurgence. We expect that depressed demand for our coal will continue for so long as there is a widespread, government-imposed shutdown of business activity. Depressed demand for our coal may also result from a general recession or reduction in overall business activity caused by COVID-19. Additionally, some of our customers have already attempted, and may in the future attempt, to invoke force majeure or similar provisions in the contracts they have in place with us in order to avoid taking possession of and paying us for our coal that they are contractually obligated to purchase. Sustained decrease in demand for our coal and the failure of our customers to purchase coal from us that they are obligated to purchase pursuant to existing contracts would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. The extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact our business depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including new information concerning the severity of the outbreak and the effectiveness of actions globally to contain or mitigate its effects. We expect this matter to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Due to the current level of uncertainty over the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19, the Partnership will continue to take the appropriate steps to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the Partnership’s operations, liquidity and financial condition.

During the first quarter, the Partnership withdrew its previously announced operational and financial guidance for 2020. On April 14, 2020 we announced our temporary idling of the Enlow Fork Mine due to the weakness in coal demand and economic slowdown related to the pandemic. The temporary idling of the Bailey Mine was announced on May 2, 2020, and limited production began again at the Bailey Mine on June 8, 2020. Cost containment and capital expenditure reductions remains the focus as volume opportunities remain limited in the near term.

We believe that the recent credit amendment to our affiliate loan facility with CONSOL Energy, as discussed below, allows us to maintain access to our primary source of liquidity. From an operational standpoint, our contracted position has partially insulated us from the ongoing volatility in the spot market and management has embarked on several cost control measures to partially offset the decline in revenue. We experienced some delays in collections of trade receivables in 2019. The COVID-related decline in demand has impacted some of our customers, resulting in continued delays in collections. We expect that this trend will improve as global demand for coal improves over the coming months. However, if these delays continue or increase, we may have less cash flow from operations.

We started a capital construction project on the coarse refuse disposal area in 2017, which is expected to continue through 2021. We have taken steps to reduce other capital expenditures and explore alternative sources of capital, including closing on the refinancing of a shield rebuild using a finance lease transaction in the first quarter of 2020, which generated cash proceeds of $4.1 million.

Uncertainty in the financial markets brings additional potential risks to the Partnership. These risks include declines in the Partnership's unit price, less availability and higher costs of additional credit, potential counterparty defaults, and commercial bank failures. Financial market disruptions may impact the Partnership's collection of trade receivables. As a result, the Partnership regularly monitors the creditworthiness of its customers and counterparties and manages credit exposure through payment terms, credit limits, prepayments and security.

Our Partnership Agreement requires that we distribute all of our available cash, if any, to our unitholders. In determining our available cash, in accordance with our Partnership Agreement, our general partner determines the amount of cash reserves needed to properly conduct our business in subsequent quarters. As a result, we expect to rely primarily upon financing under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement and the issuance of debt and equity securities to fund our acquisitions and expansion capital expenditures, if any. Due to the ongoing uncertainty in the commodity markets, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic-related demand decline, on April 23, 2020, the Board of Directors of our general partner made the decision to temporarily suspend the quarterly distribution to all of our unitholders and on July 29, 2020, the Board of Directors decided to uphold this suspension. While the Partnership did generate cash flow from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the ongoing decline in Adjusted EBITDA has impaired our leverage ratio, and the cushion against the financial covenants contained in our credit facilities has been reduced. Accordingly, we will focus on deleveraging our balance sheet by conserving cash, boosting liquidity and reducing our outstanding debt.

Table of Contents

On July 25, 2019, the Board of Directors of our general partner announced that upon payment of the cash distribution with respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the financial requirements for the conversion of all subordinated units had been satisfied. As a result, on August 16, 2019, all 11,611,067 subordinated units, which were owned entirely by CONSOL Energy Inc., were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis. The conversion did not impact the amount of the cash distribution paid or the total number of the Partnership's outstanding units representing limited partner interests.

The Partnership is continuing to actively monitor the effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on its liquidity and capital resources. As disclosed previously and above, we took several steps during the first half of 2020 to reinforce our liquidity. From a shipment perspective, the decrease in demand for our coal as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic hit its lowest point to date in May and has since shown some modest improvement. However, continued reduced demand for our coal could materially and adversely affect our liquidity in future quarters. Our Affiliated Company Credit Agreement and Securitization Facility (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”) contain certain financial covenants. Although the June 2020 amendment loosens these covenants, events resulting from the effects of COVID-19 may nevertheless negatively impact our liquidity and, as a result, our ability to comply with these covenants, which could lead us to seek an additional amendment or waivers from our lenders, limit access to or require accelerated repayment of amounts borrowed under the Credit Facilities, or require us to pursue alternative financing. We have no assurance that any such alternative financing, if required, could be obtained at terms acceptable to us, or at all, as a result of the effects of COVID-19 on capital markets at such time.

Affiliated Company Credit Agreement

On November 28, 2017, the Partnership and the other Credit Parties entered into the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement by and among the Credit Parties, CONSOL Energy, as lender and administrative agent, and PNC, as collateral agent. On June 5, 2020, the Partnership amended the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement to provide eight quarters of financial covenant relaxation, effected a 50 basis points increase in the rate at which borrowings under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement bear interest, and added additional conditions to be met for the covenants relating to general investments, investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, and distributions to equity holders of the Partnership. The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement has a maturity date of December 28, 2024. The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $275,000 to be provided by CONSOL Energy, as lender. In connection with the Partnership’s entry into the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement, the Partnership made an initial draw of $200,583, the net proceeds of which were used to repay the amounts outstanding under the Partnership's prior credit facility. Additional drawings under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement are available for general partnership purposes. The obligations under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Partnership’s subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership and its subsidiaries pursuant to the security agreement and various mortgages.

As of June 30, 2020, the Partnership had $179,560 of borrowings outstanding under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement, leaving $95,440 of unused capacity. Interest on outstanding borrowings under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement at June 30, 2020 was accrued at a rate of 4.75%.

The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement contains certain covenants and conditions that, among other things, limit the Partnership’s ability to: (i) incur or guarantee additional debt; (ii) make cash distributions; provided that we will be able to make cash distributions of available cash to partners so long as the Partnership's first lien gross leverage ratio shall not be greater than 2.00 to 1.00, the fixed charge coverage ratio shall be not less than 1.00 to 1.00, and no event of default is continuing or would result therefrom; (iii) incur certain liens or permit them to exist; (iv) make particular investments and loans; provided that we will be able to increase our ownership percentage of our undivided interest in the Pennsylvania Mining Complex and make investments in the Pennsylvania Mining Complex in accordance with our ratable ownership; (v) enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; (vi) merge or consolidate with another company; and (vii) transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of assets. The Partnership is also subject to covenants that require the Partnership to maintain certain financial ratios, each of which will be calculated on a consolidated basis for the Partnership and its restricted subsidiaries at the end of each fiscal quarter. The amendment revised the financial covenants in the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement, so that for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2020 through March 31, 2021, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 3.75 to 1.00 and the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 4.00 to 1.00; for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2021 through September 30, 2021, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 3.50 to 1.00 and the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 3.75 to 1.00; for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2021 through March 31, 2022, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 3.00 to 1.00 and the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 3.50 to 1.00; and for the fiscal quarters ending on or after June 30, 2022, the maximum first lien gross leverage ratio shall be 2.75 to 1.00 and the maximum total net leverage ratio shall be 3.25 to 1.00. At June 30, 2020, the Partnership was in compliance with its financial covenants with a first lien gross leverage ratio at 2.93 to 1.00 and a total net leverage ratio at 2.93 to 1.00.

Receivables Financing Agreement

On November 30, 2017, (i) CONSOL Marine Terminals LLC, as an originator of receivables, (ii) CPCC, as an originator of receivables and as initial servicer of the receivables for itself and the other originators (collectively, the “Originators”), each a wholly owned subsidiary of CONSOL Energy, and (iii) CONSOL Funding LLC (the “SPV”), as buyer, entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”). Concurrently, (i) CONSOL Thermal Holdings, as sub-originator, and (ii) CPCC, as buyer and as initial servicer of the receivables for itself and CONSOL Thermal Holdings, entered into a Sub-Originator Agreement (the “Sub-Originator PSA”). In addition, on that date, the SPV entered into a Receivables Financing Agreement (the “Receivables Financing Agreement”) by and among (i) the SPV, as borrower, (ii) CPCC, as initial servicer, (iii) PNC, as administrative agent, LC Bank and lender, and (iv) the additional persons from time to time party thereto as lenders. Together, the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Sub-Originator PSA and the Receivables Financing Agreement establish the primary terms and conditions of an accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization”). In March 2020, the Securitization was amended, among other things, to extend the scheduled termination date to March 27, 2023.

Table of Contents

Loans under the Securitization will accrue interest at a reserve-adjusted LIBOR market index rate equal to the one-month Eurodollar rate. Loans and letters of credit under the Securitization also will accrue a program fee and a letter of credit participation fee, respectively, ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% per annum, depending on the total net leverage ratio of CONSOL Energy. In addition, the SPV paid certain structuring fees to PNC Capital Markets LLC and will pay other customary fees to the lenders, including a fee on unused commitments equal to 0.60% per annum.

The SPV’s assets and credit are not available to satisfy the debts and obligations owed to the creditors of CONSOL Energy, CONSOL Thermal Holdings or any of the Originators. CONSOL Thermal Holdings, the Originators and CPCC as servicer are independently liable for their own customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities. In addition, CONSOL Energy has guaranteed the performance of the obligations of CONSOL Thermal Holdings, the Originators and CPCC as servicer, and will guarantee the obligations of any additional originators or successor servicer that may become party to the Securitization. However, neither CONSOL Energy nor its affiliates will guarantee collectability of receivables or the creditworthiness of obligors thereunder.

The agreements comprising the Securitization contain various customary representations and warranties, covenants and default provisions which provide for the termination and acceleration of the commitments and loans under the Securitization in certain circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, breach of representation, warranty or covenant, certain insolvency events or failure to maintain the security interest in the trade receivables, and defaults under other material indebtedness.

As of June 30, 2020, the Partnership, through CONSOL Thermal Holdings, sold $22,386 of trade receivables to CPCC. The Partnership has not derecognized the receivables due to its continued involvement in the collections efforts.

Cash Flows

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020			2019			Variance
Cash flows provided by operating activities	$	23,316		$	47,078		$	(23,762	)
Cash used in investing activities	$	(9,234	)	$	(18,042	)	$	8,808
Cash used in financing activities	$	(14,523	)	$	(29,579	)	$	15,056

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019:

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $23,762 in the period-to-period comparison, primarily due to a decrease in net income, partially offset by other working capital changes that occurred throughout both periods.

Cash used in investing activities decreased $8,808 in the period-to-period comparison. Capital expenditures decreased primarily as a result of cost control measures put into place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the overall decline in coal markets.

Other		317		1,618		(1,301	)
Total Capital Expenditures	$	9,239	$	18,046	$	(8,807	)

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $15,056 in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to the temporary suspension of the quarterly distribution payment to all unitholders, as discussed above, which resulted in a $14,375 decrease to cash used in financing activities. In addition, the decrease was due to $4,073 of proceeds received in the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to a finance leasing arrangement, partially offset by higher discretionary payments made under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement. Net payments made under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement increased $3,365 in the period-to-period comparison.
