part of this Current Report as Exhibit 99 contains certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures. The Company believes that such <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures are useful to
investors because they provide an alternative method for assessing the Company&#146;s operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of the Company&#146;s ongoing operations, for measuring the Company&#146;s cash flow and

Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 31, 2019, National Fuel Gas Company (the "Company") updated its Investor Presentation. A copy of the presentation is furnished as
part of this Current Report as Exhibit 99.
Neither the furnishing of the presentation as an exhibit to this Current Report nor the inclusion in such
presentation of any reference to the Company's internet address shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to incorporate the information available at such internet address into this Current Report. The information available at the
Company's internet address is not part of this Current Report or any other report filed or furnished by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In addition to financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the presentation furnished as
part of this Current Report as Exhibit 99 contains certain
non-GAAP
financial measures. The Company believes that such
non-GAAP
financial measures are useful to
investors because they provide an alternative method for assessing the Company's operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of the Company's ongoing operations, 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 prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Certain statements contained herein or in the materials furnished as part of this Current Report, including statements regarding estimated future earnings and
statements that are identified by the use of the words "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "plans," "predicts," "projects,"
"believes," "seeks," "will" and "may" and similar expressions, are "forward-looking statements" as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There can be no assurance that the
Company's projections will in fact be achieved nor do these projections reflect any acquisitions or divestitures that may occur in the future. While the Company's expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and are
believed to have a reasonable basis, actual results may differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. Furthermore, each forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. In addition to other factors,
the following are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements: delays or changes in costs or plans with respect to Company projects or related projects of other
companies, including difficulties or delays in obtaining necessary governmental approvals, permits or orders or in obtaining the cooperation of interconnecting facility operators; governmental/regulatory actions, initiatives and proceedings,
including those involving rate cases (which address, among other things, target rates of return, rate design and retained natural gas), environmental/safety requirements, affiliate relationships, industry structure, and franchise renewal; changes in
laws, regulations or judicial interpretations to which the Company is subject, including those involving derivatives, taxes, safety, employment, climate change, other environmental matters, real property, and exploration and production activities
such as hydraulic fracturing; financial and economic conditions, including the availability of credit,
and occurrences affecting the Company's ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms for working capital, capital expenditures and other investments, including any downgrades in the
Company's credit ratings and changes in interest rates and other capital market conditions; changes in the price of natural gas or oil; impairments under the SEC's full cost ceiling test for natural gas and oil reserves; factors affecting
the Company's ability to successfully identify, drill for and produce economically viable natural gas and oil reserves, including among others geology, lease availability, title disputes, weather conditions, shortages, delays or unavailability
of equipment and services required in drilling operations, insufficient gathering, processing and transportation capacity, the need to obtain governmental approvals and permits, and compliance with environmental laws and regulations; increasing
health care costs and the resulting effect on health insurance premiums and on the obligation to provide other post-retirement benefits; changes in price differentials between similar quantities of natural gas or oil sold at different geographic
locations, and the effect of such changes on commodity production, revenues and demand for pipeline transportation capacity to or from such locations; other changes in price differentials between similar quantities of natural gas or oil having
different quality, heating value, hydrocarbon mix or delivery date; the cost and effects of legal and administrative claims against the Company or activist shareholder campaigns to effect changes at the Company; uncertainty of oil and gas reserve
estimates; significant differences between the Company's projected and actual production levels for natural gas or oil; changes in demographic patterns and weather conditions; changes in the availability, price or accounting treatment of
derivative financial instruments; changes in laws, actuarial assumptions, the interest rate environment and the return on plan/trust assets related to the Company's pension and other post-retirement benefits, which can affect future funding
obligations and costs and plan liabilities; changes in economic conditions, including global, national or regional recessions, and their effect on the demand for, and customers' ability to pay for, the Company's products and services; the
creditworthiness or performance of the Company's key suppliers, customers and counterparties; the impact of potential information technology, cybersecurity or data security breaches; economic disruptions or uninsured losses resulting from major
accidents, fires, severe weather, natural disasters, terrorist activities or acts of war; significant differences between the Company's projected and actual capital expenditures and operating expenses; or increasing costs of insurance, changes
in coverage and the ability to obtain insurance. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof.
