Most of the gas gathered and processed by the Company is associated gas included in the oil stream, making producers’ oil break-even prices the primary driver of activity.

The average price of WTI crude oil was $95.01/bbl during the first quarter of 2022.

The average price of WTI crude oil was $101.77/Bbl during the first half of 2022.

If crude prices were to fall below producers’ break-even prices for a prolonged period of time, drilling activity and volumes might decline and might have a negative impact on our business.

In addition, because the Company’s Pipeline Transportation segment provides NGLs

transmission service through its EMI pipelines, a decrease in natural gas and NGL price will have an adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations as it may lead to lower natural gas production and thus lower volumes of NGLs transported.

Commodity Price Volatility

1 unchanged sentence

As a result of uncertainty around global commodity supply and demand, uncertainty in global economic recovery from COVID-19 pandemics and the armed conflict in Ukraine, global oil and natural gas commodity prices continue to remain volatile.

The volatility and uncertainty of natural gas, crude oil and NGL prices impact drilling, completion and other investment decisions by producers and ultimately supply to our systems.

The volatility and uncertainty of natural gas, crude oil and NGL prices impact drilling,

completion and other investment decisions by producers and ultimately supply to our systems.

Although the armed conflict in Ukraine generated commodity price upward pressure, and our operation could benefit in an environment of higher natural gas, NGLs and condensate prices, the instability of international political environment and human and economic hardship result from the conflict would have a highly uncertain impact on the U.S.

economy, which in turn, might affect our business and operations adversely.

The Company continues to monitor commodity price closely and may enter into commodity price hedge from time to time as necessary to mitigate the volatility risk.

The annual rate of inflation in the United States hit 8.5% in March 2022, the highest in more than three decades, as measured by the Consumer Price Index.

We expect that inflation in 2022 will modestly increase our operating costs and the overall cost of capital projects we undertake.

Inflation, combined with other economic factors has caused drilling and completion costs to increase over 20% from the prior year, which affects our customers and the wells they bring on line.

In addition, the Federal Reserve has tightened its monetary policy by approving a half-percentage-point interest rate hike in May 2022 to maintain the federal funds rate in a target range of 0.75% - 1.0%.

The Company continues to monitor commodity prices closely and may enter into commodity price hedges from time to time as necessary to mitigate the volatility risk.

Inflation and Interest Rates

The annual rate of inflation in the United States hit 9.1% in June 2022, as measured by the Consumer Price Index.

We expect that inflation in 2022 will continue to increase our operating costs and the overall cost of capital projects we undertake.

In addition, the Federal Reserve has continued to tighten its monetary policy by raising interest rates by three-quarters of a percentage point in June 2022 and July 2022 to maintain the federal funds rate in a target range of 2.25% - 2.50%.

Furthermore, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve signaled that the Federal Reserve would continue to take necessary action to bring inflation down and to ensure price stability, including continued rate increases.

Increased interest rates will have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to meet its contractual debt obligations and to fund its operating expenses, capital expenditures, dividends and distributions.

While a significant portion of our debt is floating rate, even with expected further near term rate increases by the Federal Reserve, the possibility of an economic slowdown in 2023 and the uncertainty with the transition from LIBOR to SOFR, the all in cost of floating rate debt under the TLA is expected to remain lower than the current yield on the recent $1 billion Senior Notes issuance.

The Company will continue to actively evaluate and analyze whether any form of interest rate hedging should be implemented to mitigate interest rate exposure.

Supply Chain Considerations

During 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 challenging supply chain issues have emerged that will continue at least through the balance of 2022.

Supply chains generally are being strained given the pick up in economic activity as the global economy reemerges from the COVID-19 pandemic.

During 2021 and the first half of 2022, challenging supply chain issues have emerged that will continue at least through the remainder of 2022.

Geopolitical events have further disrupted global supply chains and caused volatile commodity prices for natural gas, NGLs and crude oil.

The United States has banned the import of Russian oil, NGLs and other energy commodities and European Union has taken steps to reduce imports of Russian oil and natural gas.

The principal supply issues facing our industry for the next twelve months include:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, revenue increased $199.8 million, or 147%, to $335.6 million, compared to $135.8 million for the same period in 2021.

The increase was primarily driven by period to period higher commodity prices, increases in gathered and processed volumes, as well as similar increases in condensate and NGL volumes sold.

Service revenue

Service revenue consists of service fees paid to us by our customers for providing comprehensive gathering, treating, processing and water disposal services necessary to bring natural gas, NGLs and crude oil to market.

Service revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased by $39.8 million, or 64%, to $102.1 million, compared to $62.2 million for the same period in 2021.

This increase was primarily due to a period over period increase in gathered gas volumes of 596.2 Mcf per day, of which 370.3 Mcf per day are a result of new operations acquired through the Transaction.

Service revenues are included entirely in the Midstream Logistics segment.

Product revenue

Product revenue consists of commodity sales (including condensate, natural gas residue, and NGLs).

Product revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased by $158.6 million, or 223%, to $229.7 million, compared to $71.1 million for the same period in 2021, primarily due to period over period increases in NGL and condensate prices combined with increased sales volumes of these liquids.

NGL prices increased $10.36 per barrel, or 34%, and condensate prices increased $44.35 per barrel or 73%.

NGL and condensate sales volumes increased 3.4 million barrels, or 297%.

This substantial increase was due to our plants being run in recovery for most of the three months ended June 30, 2022 versus rejection during the same period in 2021.

For the same reason, natural gas residue sales volumes decreased by 2.4 million MMBtu, or 42%.

Offsetting this decrease in volumes, natural gas prices increased period over period $4.27 per MMBtu, or over 150%.

Product revenues are included entirely in the Midstream Logistics segment.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased by $10.0 million, or 40%, to $35.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $25.3 million for the same period in 2021.

Of the total increase, $6.0 million was driven by the new operations acquired through the Transaction.

The remaining increase was primarily driven by higher period over period electricity costs of $1.6 million and higher period over period internal labor costs of $1.5 million, $0.5 million of which are integration related.

General and administrative

General and administrative (“G&A”) expense increased by $20.6 million, or 386%, to $26.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2021.

The increase was primarily driven by share-based compensation recognized of $12.2 million, acquisition and integration costs of $4.3 million incurred in relation to the Transaction closed in February 2022, and an increase of $1.3 million in costs associated with ongoing litigation.

Other Income (Expense)

Gain (loss) on debt extinguishment

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $28.0 million, compared with a gain of $0.1 million for the same period in 2021.

Unrealized gain on embedded derivatives

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized an unrealized gain on derivatives of $91.4 million.

The unrealized gain is a result of the decrease in fair value of the embedded derivative related to the redeemable noncontrolling interest Preferred Units.

The substantial decrease in fair value of this derivative relates to the comprehensive debt refinancing that achieved more favorable interest terms for the Company and the partial redemption of these Preferred Units on July 1, 2022, which was known as of the end of the second quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $22.2 million, or 19%, to $140.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $118.6 million for the same period in 2021.

The increase was primarily driven by an increase in net income including noncontrolling interest of $3.3 million and increases in add back related to the Company’s proportionate share of its EMI pipelines’ EBITDA, integration costs, share-based compensation, transaction costs, depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense, as a result of the Transaction closed in February 2022.

The increase was partially offset by an increase in EMI pipelines income of $16.6 million, resulting from the three additional EMI pipelines entities through the Transaction, as well as a decrease in add back related to derivative loss due to Winter Storm Uri of $13.5 million as there was no add back related to extreme weather in the first quarter of 2022, nor was there elevated pricing which also resulted from Winter Storm Uri.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $120.2 million, or 137%, to $207.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $87.7 million for the same period in 2021.

The increase was primarily driven by an increase in net income including noncontrolling interest of $146.8 million, or 955%, and increases in add back related to the Company’s proportionate share of its EMI pipelines’ EBITDA of $49.6 million, or 228%, share-based compensation of $12.2 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $9.4 million, which are results of new operations acquired through the Transaction.

The increase in add back was also due to increase in loss on debt extinguishment of $28.0 million as the Company completed its comprehensive refinancing in June 2022.

The increase in adjusted EBITDA was partially offset by increases in unrealized gain on embedded derivatives of $91.4 million and EMI pipelines equity income of $31.3 million.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $142.4 million, or 69% to $348.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $206.3 million for the same period in 2021.

The increase was primarily driven by an increase in net income including noncontrolling interest of $150.1 million, or 5418%, and increases in add back related to the Company’s proportionate share of its EMI pipelines’ EBITDA of $74.1 million, or 195%, share-based compensation of $18.3 million, depreciation and amortization expense of $14.5 million and integration costs of $11.4 million, which are results of new operations acquired through the Transaction.

The increase in add back was also due to increase in loss on debt extinguishment of $28.0 million as the Company completed its comprehensive refinance in June 2022.

The increase in adjusted EBITDA was partially offset by increases in unrealized gain on embedded derivatives of $88.6 million, EMI pipelines equity income of $47.8 million and a decrease in derivative loss add back due to the Winter Storm Uri of $13.5 million as no similar credit was taken during 2022.

The decrease was primarily driven by no similar Winter Storm Uri event in the first quarter of 2022.

For example, derivative loss due to Winter Storm Uri of $13.5 million was added back to segment adjusted EBITDA for first quarter of 2021, but no similar add back recorded in the first quarter of 2022.

The decrease was partially offset by an increase in segment net income including noncontrolling interests of $1.0 million and increases in depreciation and amortization expense, integration cost and income tax expense add backs of $5.1 million, $4.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in relation to the Transaction closed in February 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenue increased $109.1 million, or 74%, to $257.2 million, compared to $148.1 million for the same period in 2021.

The increase was primarily driven by period to period increases in gathered and processed volumes, as well as similar increases in residue, condensate and NGL volumes sold.

Service revenue

Service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, increased by $12.8 million, or 19%, to $80.4 million, compared to $67.7 million for the same period in 2021.

This increase is primarily due to a period over period increase in gathered and processed gas volumes of 280.0 Mcf per day and 280.5 Mcf per day, respectively, of which 164.0 Mcf per day and 124.3 Mcf per day are a result of new operations acquired through the Transaction.

Service revenues are included entirely in the Midstream Logistics segment.

Table of Con tents

Product revenue

Product revenue consists of commodity sales (including condensate, natural gas residue, and NGLs).

Product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022, increased by $94.9 million, or 119%, to $174.9 million, compared to $80.0 million for the same period in 2021, primarily due to period over period increases in NGL and condensate prices combined with increased sales volumes of these liquids and natural gas residue.

NGL prices increased $18.27 per barrel or 64% and condensate prices increased $35.18 per barrel or 95%.

NGL and condensate sales volumes increased 1.8 million barrels or 27%.

Similarly, natural gas residue sales volumes increased 1.8 million MMBtu or 25%.

Partially offsetting these increases was a period over period decrease in natural gas prices of $0.35 per MMBtu or 7%.

Product revenues are included entirely in the Midstream Logistics segment.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Costs of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, cost of sales increased $83.3 million, or 225%, to $120.3 million, compared to $37.0 million for the same period in 2021.

The increase was primarily driven by the period to period increase in NGL prices and NGL and natural gas volumes discussed above.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased by $14.3 million, or 92%, to 29.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 15.6 million for the same period in 2021.

Of the total increase, $3.5 million was driven by the new operations acquired through the Transaction.

The remaining increase was primarily driven by higher period over period electricity costs of $9.4 million and merger integration costs of $1.4 million.

General and administrative

General and administrative (“G&A”) expense increased by $17.1 million, or 304%, to $22.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $5.6 million for the same period in 2021.

The increase was primarily driven by acquisition and integration costs of $10.4 million incurred in relation to the Transaction closed in February 2022 and share-based compensation recognized of $6.1 million, both of which are in connection with the Transaction and are non-recurring expenses.

Other Income (Expense)

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate

Income from EMI pipelines increased by $16.6 million, or 146% to $27.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $11.4 million for the same period in 2021.

The increase was primarily due to acquisition of new EMI pipelines and additional equity interest in the Company’s existing EMI pipeline, PHP, through the Transaction closed in February 2022 and due to higher earnings.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company only held a 26.67% interest in PHP.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company’s primary use of capital since inception has been for the initial construction of gathering and processing assets, as well as the acquisition of the EMI pipelines and associated subsequent construction costs.

For 2022, the Company’s primary capital spending requirements are anticipated to be related to integration of the Alpine High gathering system with the legacy BCP system, certain integration related synergies including the relocation of compression units and treating assets to the legacy BCP processing plants, the Company’s contractual debt obligation, the Company’s payment of quarterly cash dividend on its Class A Common Stock and Common Units as may be declared by its Board of Directors and cash payment upon redemption of remaining mandatorily redeemable Preferred Units.

Table of Con tents

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company’s primary sources of cash were distributions from the EMI pipelines, borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and cash generated from operations.

Based on the Company’s current financial plan and related assumptions including the Reinvestment Agreement, the Company believes that cash from operations, a reduced capital program for its midstream infrastructure, and distributions from the EMI pipelines will generate cash flows in excess of capital expenditures and the amount required to fund the Company’s planned quarterly dividend and redemption of mandatorily redeemable Preferred Units during 2022.

Given recent crude oil price volatility and uncertain economic activity resulting from inflation, increased interest rates, the armed conflict in Ukraine and related governmental actions, the Company continues to monitor expected natural gas throughput volumes and capacity utilization of the EMI pipelines.

Comprehensive Refinancing

On June 8, 2022, the Partnership completed the private placement of $1.00 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2030, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

In addition, the Partnership entered into a new Revolving Credit Agreement, which provides for a $1.25 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Facility maturing on June 8, 2027, and a new TLA, which provides for a $2.00 billion senior unsecured Term Loan Credit Facility maturing on June 8, 2025.

Proceeds from the Notes and the Term Loan Credit Facility were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under our existing credit facilities and to pay fees and expenses related to the offering.

Refer to Note 6 — Debt and Financing Costs in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further information.

Capital Requirements and Expenditures

Our operations can be capital intensive, requiring investments to expand, upgrade, maintain or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, capital spending for midstream infrastructure assets totaled $29.2 million and $19.8 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, capital spending for midstream infrastructure assets totaled $71.4 million and $39.4 million, respectively.

Management believes its existing gathering, processing, and transmission infrastructure capacity is capable of fulfilling its midstream contracts to service its customers.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company made no cash contributions to its EMI pipelines compared to $20.5 million contributed to an EMI pipeline in the same period of 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company contributed $2.7 million to one of its EMI pipelines compared to $20.5 million contributed in the same period of 2021.

The Company anticipates its existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund the future capital expenditures for EMI pipelines and the Company’s existing infrastructure assets.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies (refer to Summary of Significant Accounting Policie s in Exhibit 99.4 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 28, 2022) are fundamental to understanding our results of operations and financial condition.

Some accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments and may require significant judgments in applying complex accounting principles to individual transactions, where actual results could differ materially from the Company’s estimates.

The Company has procedures and processes in place to facilitate making these judgments.

In addition, certain accounting policies are more likely than others to have a critical effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and may apply to areas of relatively greater business importance.

The following accounting policies are critical to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

• Revenue recognition,

• Use of estimates,

• Business combination,

• Fair value measurement, and

• Impairment of long-lived assets.
