Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform such amounts to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on net income. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year; accordingly, you should read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Midstream Infrastructure Assets
In the first quarter of 2023, the Partnership closed on a purchase and sale agreement for certain midstream assets for $ 65.0 million together with a new 20-year midstream service agreement. Midstream assets acquired consisted of water gathering and disposal assets and intangible right-of-way assets. As the net book value of the acquired assets were approximate to their fair market value, consideration was allocated to property, plant and equipment and intangibles based on the ratio of historical long-lived assets and intangible assets acquired.

Such development activities began in October 2023 and are subject to semi-annual performance milestones and subject to refund with consequential monetary penalty if not satisfied.

9. EQUITY
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest — Common Unit Limited Partners
The redemption option of the Common Unit is not legally detachable or separately exercisable from the instrument and is non-transferable; the Common Unit is redeemable at the option of the holder. Therefore, the Common Unit is accounted for as redeemable noncontrolling interest and classified as temporary equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, 146,250 common units were redeemed on a one -for-one basis for shares of Class A Common Stock and a corresponding number of shares of Class C Common Stock were cancelled. There were 93.9 million Common Units and an equal number of Class C Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2024. The Common Units fair value was approximately $ 3.62 billion as of March 31, 2024.
Common Stock
As of March 31, 2024, there were 59.7 million and 93.9 million shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock issued and outstanding (collectively, “Common Stock”).
Share Repurchase Program
During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not repurchase any of its Class A Common Stock under the Repurchase Program.

Dividend
On February 22, 2022, the Company entered into a Dividend and Distribution Reinvestment Agreement (the “Reinvestment Agreement”) with certain stockholders including BCP Raptor Aggregator, LP, BX Permian Pipeline Aggregator, LP, Buzzard Midstream LLC, APA Corporation, Apache, and certain individuals (each, a “Reinvestment Holder”). Under the Reinvestment Agreement, each Reinvestment Holder was obligated to reinvest a specified percent of distributions on Common Units or dividends on shares of Class A Common Stock in the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The Reinvestment Agreement terminated automatically on March 8, 2024. As described in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as the context requires, dividends paid to holders of Class A Common Stock and distributions paid to holders of Common Units may be referred to collectively as “dividends.”
On March 7, 2024, the Company made cash dividend payments of $ 39.5 million to holders of Class A Common Stock and Common Units and $ 74.2 million was reinvested in shares of Class A Common Stock by Reinvestment Holders.

Our derivative contracts consist of interest rate swaps and commodity swaps or collars. Valuation of these derivative contracts involved both observable publicly quoted prices and certain credit valuation inputs that may not be readily observable in the marketplace. As such derivative contracts are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Refer to Note 11—Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion related to commodity and interest rate derivatives.
Long-term debt’s carrying value can vary from fair value. See Note 7—Debt and Financing Costs in the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for further information. The carrying amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Company’s remaining financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

11. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions, and it enters into certain derivative contracts to manage exposure to these risks. To minimize counterparty credit risk in derivative instruments, the Company enters into transactions with high credit-rating counterparties. The Company did not elect to apply hedge accounting to these derivative contracts and recorded the fair value of the derivatives on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company manages market risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and by using derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company had two interest rate swap contracts with total notional amounts of $ 1.70 billion maturing on May 31, 2025 that pay a fixed rate ranging from 4.38 % to 4.48 % for the respective notional amounts. The fair value or settlement value of the consolidated interest rate swaps outstanding are presented on a gross basis on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities related to the interest rate swap contracts:

Commodity Price Risk
The results of the Company’s operations may be affected by the market prices of oil, natural gas and NGLs. A portion of the Company’s revenue is directly tied to local natural gas, natural gas liquids and condensate prices in the Permian Basin and the U.S. Gulf Coast. Fluctuations in commodity prices also impact operating cost elements both directly and indirectly. Management regularly reviews the Company’s potential exposure to commodity price risk and manages exposure of such risk through commodity hedge contracts.

Table of Contents
During the past twelve months, the Company entered into multiple commodity swap and collar contracts based on the OPIS NGL Mont Belvieu prices for ethane, propane and butane, the Waha Basis index, the HSC index and the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate Control index. These contracts are on various notional quantities of NGLs, natural gas and crude. Similarly, the Company has entered into various natural gas and crude basis spread swaps. These contracts are effective over the next 1 to 26 months and are used to hedge against location price risk of the respective commodity resulting from supply and demand volatility and protect cash flows against price fluctuations.
The following table presents detailed information of commodity swaps outstanding as of March 31, 2024 (in thousands, except volumes):

Table of Contents
Class A Shares and Class C Shares
The Class A Shares and Class C Shares were granted at the Closing of the Altus Midstream Company (“ALTM”) business combination upon conversion of previously outstanding incentive units. These shares were held in escrow and will vest over three to four years . These units are recorded at grant-date fair value, which was determined to be fair value on the closing date of the business combination, and compensation expense is recognized on a straight‑line basis over the vesting period within “General and Administrative Expenses” of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in accordance with FASB ASC 718 , C ompensation - Stock Compensation . Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. In addition, upon the Closing of the ALTM business combination, 395,416 performance Class A awards were granted that will vest over a four year service period and upon certain shareholder’s selling of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at defined return levels. As the performance outcome is not estimable, no compensation expense is recorded for these performance awards for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
The table below summarizes Class A Share and Class C Share activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

As of March 31, 2024, there were $ 61.6 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested Class A Shares and Class C Shares. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.55 years.
Restricted Stock Units
Certain RSUs were granted in the first quarter of 2024 to certain executives and employees under the 2019 Plan. Granted RSUs are subject to various service vesting requirements and may be settled only for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one -for-one basis contingent upon continued employment. RSUs are recorded at grant-date fair value and compensation expense is recognized on a straight‑line or graded straight-line basis over the vesting period within “General and Administrative Expenses.”

Performance Stock Units
The Company granted PSUs pursuant to the 2019 Plan to certain of its employees and executives in the first quarter of 2024. These PSUs vest and become earned upon the achievement of certain performance goals based on the Company’s annualized absolute total stockholder return and the Company’s relative total stockholder return as compared to the performance peer group during the performance period, if the PSUs holders also satisfy the continued employment requirement during the performance period. Depending on the results achieved during the three-year performance period, the actual number of Class A Common Stock that a holder of the PSUs earns at the end of the performance period may range from 0 % to 200 % of the target number of PSUs granted. The fair value of the PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation at the grant date. The Company recognized compensation expense for PSUs on a straight-line basis over the performance period. Any PSU not earned at the end of the performance period will be forfeited.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Accruals for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, environmental and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted as additional information becomes available or circumstances change. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no accruals for loss contingencies.
Litigation
The Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. In accordance with FASB ASC 450, Contingencies , the Company accrues reserves for outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings when a loss contingency is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates the amount of loss contingencies using current available information from legal proceedings, advice from legal counsel and available insurance coverage. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and unpredictability of the outcomes of the legal proceedings, any amounts accrued or included in this aggregate amount may not represent the ultimate loss to the Company from the legal proceedings in question. There were no litigation related accrued reserves as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The Company has entered into litigation with a third party to collect receivables totaling $ 11.6 million and is waiting on settlement of $ 8.0 million in receivables from another counterparty related to prior litigation the Company had previously entered into and subsequently dropped. These receivables remain outstanding from the Winter Storm Uri during February of 2021. Given the counterparties’ sufficient creditworthiness and the valid claims that we hold, no allowance has currently been established for these items as we have legally enforceable agreements with these parties.
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to various local, state, and federal laws and regulations relating to various environmental matters during the ordinary course of business. Although we believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and relations, risks of additional costs and liabilities are inherent in our operations. Moreover, changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent or costly requirements could require the Company to make significant expenditures to attain and maintain compliance or may otherwise have a material adverse effect on its operations, competitive position, or financial condition. The Company is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of March 31, 2024, that have not been provided for or would otherwise have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
Contingent Liabilities
Permian Gas Acquisition
As part of the acquisition of Permian Gas on June 11, 2019, consideration included a contingent liability arrangement with PDC Permian, Inc. (“PDC”). The arrangement requires additional monies to be paid by the Company to PDC on a per Mcf basis if the actual annual Mcf volume amounts exceed forecasted annual Mcf volume amounts starting in 2020 and continuing through 2029. The total monies paid under this arrangement are capped at $ 60.5 million and are payable on an annual basis over the earn-out period. PDC’s actual annual Mcf volume did not exceed the incentive forecast volume during the past four years , and is not expected to over the next six years ; therefore, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was nil as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

16. SEGMENTS
Our two operating segments represent the Company’s segments for which discrete financial information is available and is utilized on a regular basis by our CODM to make key operating decisions, assess performance and allocate resources. These segments represent strategic business units with differing products and services. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the reportable segments. Therefore, our two operating segments represent our reportable segments. The activities of each of our reportable segments from which the Company earns revenues and incurs expenses are described below:
• Midstream Logistics: The Midstream Logistics segment operates under three streams, 1) gas gathering and processing, 2) crude oil gathering, stabilization and storage services and 3) produced water gathering and disposal.
• Pipeline Transportation: The Pipeline Transportation segment consists of equity investment interests in four Permian Basin pipelines that access various points along the U.S. Gulf Coast, as well as Kinetik NGL and Delaware Link Pipelines. The current operating pipelines transport crude oil, natural gas and NGLs.
Our Chief Executive Officer, who is the CODM, uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to measure profitability and allocate resources among segments. Segment Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as segment net earnings adjusted to exclude interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, the proportionate effect of these same items for our EMI pipelines and other non-recurring items. The CODM considers budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments.
The Midstream Logistics segment accounts for more than 99 % of the Company’s operating revenues, cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization), and operating expenses and more than 93 % of the ad valorem expenses. The Pipeline Transportation segment contains all of the Company’s equity method investments, which contribute approximate 92 % of the segment’s Adjusted EBITDA.
