On April 27, 2016, QEP Resources, Inc. (the “Registrant”) issued a press release to report the results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2016, and to provide an update to 2016 guidance.

Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, the Registrant has provided quantitative reconciliations within the press release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The information contained in Item 2.02 to this Form 8-K, including the exhibit, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
