CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Our reports, filings and other public announcements may from time to time contain statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. Such statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can typically identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words, such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “intend,” “assume,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “potential,” “plan,” “forecast” and other similar words.

All statements that are not statements of historical facts, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements reflect our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements include known and unknown risks. Known risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks set forth in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, including the following risks and uncertainties:

•the extent of changes in commodity prices and the demand for our products and services, our ability to effectively limit a portion of the adverse impact of potential changes in commodity prices through derivative financial instruments, and the potential impact of price, and of producers’ access to capital on natural gas drilling, demand for our services, and the volume of NGLs and condensate extracted;

•the demand for crude oil, residue gas and NGL products;

•the level and success of drilling and quality of production volumes around our assets and our ability to connect supplies to our gathering and processing systems, as well as our residue gas and NGL infrastructure;

•new, additions to, and changes in, laws and regulations, particularly with regard to taxes, safety, regulatory and protection of the environment, including, but not limited to, climate change legislation, regulation of over-the-counter derivatives markets and entities, and hydraulic fracturing regulations, or the increased regulation of our industry, including additional local control over such activities, and their impact on producers and customers served by our systems;

•volatility in the price of our common units and preferred units;

•general economic, market and business conditions;

•the amount of natural gas we gather, compress, treat, process, transport, store and sell, or the NGLs we produce, fractionate, transport, store and sell, may be reduced if the pipelines, storage and fractionation facilities to which we deliver the natural gas or NGLs are capacity constrained and cannot, or will not, accept the natural gas or NGLs or we may be required to find alternative markets and arrangements for our natural gas and NGLs;

•our ability to continue the safe and reliable operation of our assets;

•our ability to construct and start up facilities on budget and in a timely fashion, which is partially dependent on obtaining required construction, environmental and other permits issued by federal, state and municipal governments, or agencies thereof, the availability of specialized contractors and laborers, and the price of and demand for materials;

•our ability to access the debt and equity markets and the resulting cost of capital, which will depend on general market conditions, our financial and operating results, inflation rates, interest rates, our ability to comply with the covenants in our $1.4 billion unsecured revolving credit facility or other credit facilities, and the indentures governing our notes, as well as our ability to maintain our credit ratings;

•the creditworthiness of our customers and the counterparties to our transactions;

•the amount of collateral we may be required to post from time to time in our transactions;

•industry changes, including the impact of bankruptcies, consolidations, alternative energy sources, technological advances, infrastructure constraints and changes in competition;

•our ability to grow through organic growth projects, or acquisitions, and the successful integration and future performance of such assets;

•our ability to hire, train, and retain qualified personnel and key management to execute our business strategy;

•weather, weather-related conditions and other natural phenomena, including, but not limited to, their potential impact on demand for the commodities we sell and the operation of company-owned and third party-owned infrastructure;

•security threats such as terrorist attacks, and cybersecurity attacks and breaches, against, or otherwise impacting, our facilities and systems; and

•our ability to obtain insurance on commercially reasonable terms, if at all, as well as the adequacy of insurance to cover our losses.

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. The forward-looking statements in this report speak as of the filing date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

DCP Midstream, LP, with its consolidated subsidiaries, or “us”, “we”, “our” or the “Partnership” is a Delaware limited partnership formed in 2005 by DCP Midstream, LLC to own, operate, acquire and develop a diversified portfolio of complementary midstream energy assets.

Our Partnership includes our Logistics and Marketing and Gathering and Processing segments. For additional information regarding these segments, see Note 20 - Business Segments.

Our operations and activities are managed by our general partner, DCP Midstream GP, LP, which in turn is managed by its general partner, DCP Midstream GP, LLC, which we refer to as the General Partner, and which is 100% owned by DCP Midstream, LLC. DCP Midstream, LLC and its subsidiaries and affiliates, collectively referred to as DCP Midstream, LLC, is owned 50% by Phillips 66 and 50% by Enbridge Inc. and its affiliates, or Enbridge. DCP Midstream, LLC directs our business operations through its ownership and control of the General Partner. As of June 30, 2019, DCP Midstream, LLC owned approximately 38.1% of us, including limited partner and general partner interests.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and all majority-owned subsidiaries where we have the ability to exercise control. Investments in greater than 20% owned affiliates that are not variable interest entities and where we do not have the ability to exercise control, and investments in less than 20% owned affiliates where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the respective interim periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the 2018 audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

2. Update to Significant Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Significant changes to our accounting policies as a result of Topic 842 (as defined below) are discussed below:

Leases - Our leasing activity primarily consists of transportation agreements, office space, vehicles, compressors and field equipment. We determine if an arrangement is an operating or finance lease at inception. Right of use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term when we control the use of the asset by obtaining substantially all of the economic benefits of the asset and direct the use of the asset. Lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The interest rate used to calculate the present value of lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease when determinable or our incremental borrowing rate. Our incremental borrowing rate is primarily based on our collateralized borrowing rate when such borrowings exist or an estimated collateralized borrowing rate based on independent third party quotes when such borrowings do not exist. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” or ASU 2016-13 - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which amends current measurement techniques used to estimate credit losses for financial assets. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with the option to early adopt for financial statements that have not been issued. We are currently evaluating the potential impact this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We do not expect this update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

FASB ASU, 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” or ASU 2016-02 - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability on a discounted basis and the right of use of a specified asset at the commencement date for all leases. We adopted this ASU on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach without application to prior periods. We implemented the following practical expedients and policy elections permitted under the new standard: (a) the package of practical expedients allowing us to not reassess whether expired or existing contracts contain a lease, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and the treatment of initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases, (b) the land easement practical expedient, allowing us to carry forward our current accounting treatment for land easements in existing agreements, (c) not recognizing lease assets or liabilities when lease terms are less than twelve months and (d) for agreements that contain both lease and non-lease components, combining these components together and accounting for them as a single lease

4. Dispositions

On January 30, 2019, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with NGL Energy Partners LP to sell Gas Supply Resources, our wholesale propane business primarily consisting of seven natural gas liquids terminals in the Eastern United States within our Logistics and Marketing segment for a purchase price of $90 million. Net proceeds received were approximately $103 million due to customary purchase price adjustments. The transaction closed effective March 1, 2019. We recognized a loss on sale of $9 million net of goodwill, in the first quarter of 2019.

During the second quarter of 2019, we received proceeds of $29 million related to the sale of non-core assets, resulting in a loss on sale of $5 million.

5. Revenue Recognition

We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by type of contract for each of our reportable segments, as we believe it best depicts the nature, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows. The following tables set forth our revenue by those categories:

12. Fair Value Measurement

Valuation Hierarchy

Our fair value measurements are grouped into a three-level valuation hierarchy and are categorized in their entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows.

•Level 1 — inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2 — inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

•Level 3 — inputs are unobservable and considered significant to the fair value measurement.

DCP MIDSTREAM, LP

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 - (Continued)

(Unaudited)

A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based upon the level of judgment involved in the most significant input in the determination of the instrument’s fair value. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the hierarchy.

Commodity Derivative Assets and Liabilities

We enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments, which may include exchange traded instruments (such as New York Mercantile Exchange, or NYMEX, crude oil or natural gas futures) or over-the-counter, or OTC, instruments (such as natural gas contracts, crude oil or NGL swaps). The exchange traded instruments are generally executed with a highly rated broker dealer serving as the clearinghouse for individual transactions.

Our activities expose us to varying degrees of commodity price risk. To mitigate a portion of this risk and to manage commodity price risk related primarily to owned natural gas storage and pipeline assets, we engage in natural gas asset based trading and marketing, and we may enter into natural gas and crude oil derivatives to lock in a specific margin when market conditions are favorable. A portion of this may be accomplished through the use of exchange traded derivative contracts. Such instruments are generally classified as Level 1 since the value is equal to the quoted market price of the exchange traded instrument as of our balance sheet date, and no adjustments are required. Depending upon market conditions and our strategy we may enter into exchange traded derivative positions with a significant time horizon to maturity. Although such instruments are exchange traded, market prices may only be readily observable for a portion of the duration of the instrument. In order to calculate the fair value of these instruments, readily observable market information is utilized to the extent it is available; however, in the event that readily observable market data is not available, we may interpolate or extrapolate based upon observable data. In instances where we utilize an interpolated or extrapolated value, and it is considered significant to the valuation of the contract as a whole, we would classify the instrument within Level 3.

We also engage in the business of trading energy related products and services, which exposes us to market variables and commodity price risk. We may enter into physical contracts or financial instruments with the objective of realizing a positive margin from the purchase and sale of these commodity-based instruments. We may enter into derivative instruments for NGLs or other energy related products, primarily using the OTC derivative instrument markets, which are not as active and liquid as exchange traded instruments. Market quotes for such contracts may only be available for short dated positions (up to six months), and an active market itself may not exist beyond such time horizon. Contracts entered into with a relatively short time horizon for which prices are readily observable in the OTC market are generally classified within Level 2. Contracts with a longer time horizon, for which we internally generate a forward curve to value such instruments, are generally classified within Level 3. The internally generated curve may utilize a variety of assumptions including, but not limited to, data obtained from third-party pricing services, historical and future expected relationship of NGL prices to crude oil prices, the knowledge of expected supply sources coming online, expected weather trends within certain regions of the United States, and the future expected demand for NGLs.

Each instrument is assigned to a level within the hierarchy at the end of each financial quarter depending upon the extent to which the valuation inputs are observable. Generally, an instrument will move toward a level within the hierarchy that requires a lower degree of judgment as the time to maturity approaches, and as the markets in which the asset trades will likely become more liquid and prices more readily available in the market, thus reducing the need to rely upon our internally developed assumptions. However, the level of a given instrument may change, in either direction, depending upon market conditions and the availability of market observable data.

Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities

We utilize fair value to perform impairment tests as required on our property, plant and equipment, goodwill, equity investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and intangible assets. Assets and liabilities acquired in third party business combinations are recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition. The inputs used to determine such fair value are primarily based upon internally developed cash flow models and would generally be classified within Level 3 in the event that we were required to measure and record such assets at fair value within our condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we use fair value to determine the inception value of our asset retirement obligations. The inputs used to determine such fair value are primarily based upon costs incurred historically for similar work, as well as estimates from independent third parties for costs that would be incurred to restore leased property to the contractually stipulated condition, and would generally be classified within Level 3.

Changes in Levels 1 and 2 Fair Value Measurements

The determination to classify a financial instrument within Level 1 or Level 2 is based upon the availability of quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in active markets. Depending upon the information readily observable in the market, and/or the use of identical or similar quoted prices, which are significant to the overall valuation, the classification of any individual financial instrument may differ from one measurement date to the next. To qualify as a transfer, the asset or liability must have existed in the previous reporting period and moved into a different level during the current period. In the event that there is a movement between the classification of an instrument as Level 1 or 2, the transfer would be reflected in a table as “Transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2”. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements

The tables below illustrate a rollforward of the amounts included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for derivative financial instruments that we have classified within Level 3. Since financial instruments classified as Level 3 typically include a combination of observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources) and unobservable components, the gains and losses in the table below may include changes in fair value due in part to observable market factors, or changes to our assumptions on the unobservable components. Depending upon the information readily observable in the market, and/or the use of unobservable inputs, which are significant to the overall valuation, the classification of any individual financial instrument may differ from one measurement date to the next. The significant unobservable inputs used in determining fair value include adjustments by other market-based or independently sourced market data such as historical commodity volatilities, crude oil future yield curves, and/or counterparty specific considerations. In the event that there is a movement to/from the classification of an instrument as Level 3, we would reflect such items in the table below within the “Transfers into/out of Level 3” captions.

We manage our overall risk at the portfolio level and in the execution of our strategy, we may use a combination of financial instruments, which may be classified within any level. Since Level 1 and Level 2 risk management instruments are not included in the rollforward below, the gains or losses in the table do not reflect the effect of our total risk management activities.

Quantitative Information and Fair Value Sensitivities Related to Level 3 Unobservable Inputs

We utilize the market approach to measure the fair value of our commodity contracts. The significant unobservable inputs used in this approach to fair value are longer dated price quotes. Our sensitivity to these longer dated forward curve prices are presented in the table below. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in significantly different fair value measurements, depending on our short or long position in contracts.


	June 30, 2019
Product Group	Fair Value		Forward Curve Range
	(millions)
Assets
NGLs	$	8	$0.20-$1.15	Per gallon
Natural gas	$	2	$2.09-$2.73	Per MMBtu
Liabilities
NGLs	$	(1)	$0.09-$1.15	Per gallon

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Valuation of a contract’s fair value is validated by an internal group independent of the marketing group. While common industry practices are used to develop valuation techniques, changes in pricing methodologies or the underlying assumptions could result in significantly different fair values and income recognition. When available, quoted market prices or prices obtained through external sources are used to determine a contract’s fair value. For contracts with a delivery location or duration for which quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on pricing models developed primarily from historical and expected relationships with quoted market prices.

The fair value of accounts receivable and accounts payable are not materially different from their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments or the stated rates approximating market rates. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value.

We determine the fair value of our fixed-rate senior notes and junior subordinated notes based on quotes obtained from bond dealers. The fair value of borrowings under the Credit Agreement (defined below) and the accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”) are based on carrying value, which approximates fair value as their interest rates are based on prevailing market interest rates. We classify the fair values of our outstanding debt balances within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying value and fair value of our total debt, including current maturities, were as follows:


		June 30, 2019						December 31, 2018

13. Leases

We have operating leases for transportation agreements, office space, vehicles, compressors and field equipment. Our leases have remaining lease terms of less than 1 year to 22 years, some of which may include options to extend leases up to 20 years, and some of which may include options to terminate the leases in less than one year. Extension options on certain compressors and field equipment were included in the lease terms used to calculate our operating lease assets and liabilities as it is reasonably certain that we exercise those options. We do not have any material finance leases as of June 30, 2019. Operating leases are included in operating lease assets, other current liabilities and operating lease liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019 as follows:

Senior Notes and Junior Subordinated Notes

Our senior notes and junior subordinated notes, collectively referred to as our debt securities, mature and become payable on their respective due dates, and are not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions. The senior notes are senior unsecured obligations that are guaranteed by the Partnership and rank equally in a right of payment with our other senior unsecured indebtedness, including indebtedness under our Credit Agreement, and the junior subordinated notes are unsecured and rank subordinate in right of payment to all of our existing and future senior indebtedness. The debt securities include an optional redemption whereby we may elect to redeem the notes, in whole or in part from time-to-time for a premium. Additionally, we may defer the payment of all or part of the interest on the junior subordinated notes for one or more periods up to 5 consecutive years. The underwriters’ fees and related expenses are recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets within the carrying amount of long-term debt and will be amortized over the term of the notes.

Agreement (defined below) and the funding of capital expenditures. Interest on the notes will be paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing November 15, 2019.

On January 18, 2019, we issued an additional $325 million of aggregate principal amount of our existing $500 million 5.375% Senior Notes due July 2025. We received proceeds of $324 million, net of underwriters’ fees, related expenses and issuance premiums, which we used for general partnership purposes including the funding of capital expenditures and repayment of outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement. The full $825 million of our 5.375% Senior Notes due July 2025 is treated as a single series of debt. The 2025 notes will mature on July 15, 2025 unless redeemed prior to maturity. Interest on the 2025 notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year.

Senior Notes Redemption

On April 1, 2019, we repaid at maturity all $325 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 2.70% Senior Notes due 2019 using borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Credit Agreement

We are a party to a $1.4 billion unsecured revolving Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) which matures on December 6, 2022. The Credit Agreement also grants us the option to increase the revolving loan commitment by an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million, subject to requisite lender approval. The Credit Agreement may be extended for up to two additional one-year periods subject to requisite lender approval. Loans under the Credit Agreement may be used for working capital and other general partnership purposes including acquisitions.

The Credit Agreement allows for unrestricted cash and cash equivalents to be netted against consolidated indebtedness for purposes of calculating the Partnership’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Additionally, under the Credit Agreement, the Consolidated Leverage Ratio of the Partnership as of the end of any fiscal quarter shall not exceed 5.00 to 1.0 provided that, if there is a Qualified Acquisition (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 5.50 to 1.0 at the end of the three consecutive fiscal quarters, including the fiscal quarter in which the Qualified Acquisition occurs.

Our cost of borrowing under the Credit Agreement is determined by a ratings-based pricing grid. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement bears interest at either: (1) LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 1.45% based on our current credit rating; or (2) (a) the base rate which shall be the higher of the prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the LIBOR Market Index rate plus 1%, plus (b) an applicable margin of 0.45% based on our current credit rating. The Credit Agreement incurs an annual facility fee of 0.30% based on our current credit rating. This fee is paid on drawn and undrawn portions of the 1.4 billion revolving credit facility.

As of June 30, 2019, we had unused borrowing capacity of $1,385 million, net of $15 million of letters of credit, under the Credit Agreement. Our borrowing capacity may be limited by financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. The financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement limit the Partnership's ability to incur incremental debt by the unused borrowing capacity of $1,385 million as of June 30, 2019. Except in the case of a default, amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement will not become due prior to the December 6, 2022 maturity date.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility

We have an Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility (the “Securitization Facility”) that provides up to $200 million of borrowing capacity through August 2019 at LIBOR market index rates plus a margin. Under this Securitization Facility, certain of the Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiaries sell or contribute receivables to another of the Partnership’s consolidated subsidiaries, DCP Receivables LLC (“DCP Receivables”), a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity created for the sole purpose of the Securitization Facility.

DCP Receivables’ sole activity consists of purchasing receivables from the Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiaries that participate in the Securitization Facility and providing these receivables as collateral for DCP Receivables’ borrowings under the Securitization Facility. DCP Receivables is a separate legal entity and the accounts receivable of DCP Receivables, up to the amount of the outstanding debt under the Securitization Facility, are not available to satisfy the claims of creditors of the Partnership, its subsidiaries selling receivables under the Securitization Facility, or their affiliates. Any excess receivables are

eligible to satisfy the claims of creditors of the Partnership, its subsidiaries selling receivables under the Securitization Facility, or their affiliates. The amount available for borrowing is based on the availability of eligible receivables and other customary factors and conditions. As of June 30, 2019, DCP Receivables had $658 million of our accounts receivable securing borrowings of $200 million under its Securitization Facility. Borrowings under the Securitization Facility are included in “Current debt” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The maturities of our debt as of June 30, 2019 are as follows:


	Debt Maturities

15. Risk Management and Hedging Activities

Our operations expose us to a variety of risks including but not limited to changes in the prices of commodities that we buy or sell, changes in interest rates, and the creditworthiness of each of our counterparties. We manage certain of these exposures with either physical or financial transactions. We have established a comprehensive risk management policy and a risk management committee (the “Risk Management Committee”), to monitor and manage market risks associated with commodity prices and counterparty credit. The Risk Management Committee is composed of senior executives who receive regular briefings on positions and exposures, credit exposures and overall risk management in the context of market activities. The Risk Management Committee is responsible for the overall management of credit risk and commodity price risk, including monitoring exposure limits.

Collateral

As of June 30, 2019, we had cash deposits of $27 million, included in collateral cash deposits in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as of June 30, 2019, we held letters of credit of $54 million from counterparties to secure their future performance under financial or physical contracts. Collateral amounts held or posted may be fixed or may vary, depending on the value of the underlying contracts, and could cover normal purchases and sales, services, trading and hedging contracts. In many cases, we and our counterparties have publicly disclosed credit ratings, which may impact the amounts of collateral requirements.

Physical forward contracts and financial derivatives are generally cash settled at the expiration of the contract term. These transactions are generally subject to specific credit provisions within the contracts that would allow the seller, at its discretion, to suspend deliveries, cancel agreements or continue deliveries to the buyer after the buyer provides security for payment satisfactory to the seller.

Offsetting

Certain of our derivative instruments are subject to a master netting or similar arrangement, whereby we may elect to settle multiple positions with an individual counterparty through a single net payment. Each of our individual derivative instruments are presented on a gross basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, regardless of our ability to net settle our positions. Instruments that are governed by agreements that include net settle provisions allow final settlement, when presented with a termination event, of outstanding amounts by extinguishing the mutual debts owed between the parties in exchange for a net amount due.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, no derivative losses attributable to the ineffective portion or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing were recognized in trading and marketing gains or losses, net or interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, no derivative losses were reclassified from AOCI to trading and marketing gains or losses, net or interest expense as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedges related to certain forecasted transactions that are not probable of occurring.

Changes in the value of derivative instruments, for which the hedge method of accounting has not been elected from one period to the next, are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

17. Net Income or Loss per Limited Partner Unit

Basic and diluted net income or loss per limited partner unit (LPU) is calculated by dividing net income or loss allocable to limited partners, by the weighted-average number of LPUs outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per LPU is computed based on the weighted average number of units plus the effect of potential dilutive units outstanding during the period using the two-class method.

18. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Litigation — We are not a party to any significant legal proceedings, but are a party to various administrative and regulatory proceedings and commercial disputes that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business. Management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters, taken as a whole, and after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage or other indemnification arrangements, will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.

Insurance — Our insurance coverage is carried with third-party insurers and with an affiliate of Phillips 66. Our insurance coverage includes: (i) general liability insurance covering third-party exposures; (ii) statutory workers’ compensation insurance; (iii) automobile liability insurance for all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles; (iv) excess liability insurance above the established primary limits for general liability and automobile liability insurance; (v) property insurance, which covers the replacement value of real and personal property and includes business interruption; and (vi) insurance covering our directors and officers for acts related to our business activities. All coverage is subject to certain limits and deductibles, the terms and conditions of which are common for companies with similar types of operations.

Environmental — The operation of pipelines, plants and other facilities for gathering, transporting, processing, treating, fractionating, or storing natural gas, NGLs and other products is subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety and the environment. As an owner or operator of these facilities, we must comply with laws and regulations at the federal, state and, in some cases, local levels that relate to worker safety, pipeline safety, air and water quality, solid and hazardous waste management and disposal, and other environmental matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing and operating pipelines, plants, and other facilities incorporates compliance with environmental laws and regulations, worker safety standards, and safety standards applicable to our various facilities. In addition, there is increasing focus from (i) regulatory bodies and communities, and through litigation, on hydraulic fracturing and the real or perceived environmental or public health impacts of this technique, which indirectly presents some risk to our available supply of natural gas and the resulting supply of NGLs, (ii) regulatory bodies regarding pipeline system safety which could impose additional regulatory burdens and increase the cost of our operations, (iii) state and federal regulatory officials regarding the emission of greenhouse gases, which could impose regulatory burdens and increase the cost of our operations, and (iv) regulatory bodies and communities that could prevent or delay the development of fossil fuel energy infrastructure such as pipelines, plants, and other facilities used in our business. Failure to comply with these various health, safety and environmental laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures, including citizen suits, which can include the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements, and the issuance of injunctions or restrictions on operation. Management believes that, based on currently known information, compliance with these existing laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The following pending proceedings involve governmental authorities under federal, state, and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. It is not possible for us to predict the final outcome of these pending proceedings; however, we do not expect the outcome of one or more of these proceedings to have a material adverse effect to our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows:

•In March 2018, the New Mexico Environment Department (“NMED”) issued two separate Notices of Violation (“NOV”) relating to upset and malfunction event emissions at two of our gas processing plants. Following information exchanges and discussions with NMED regarding the events and the propriety of the alleged violations, on February 14, 2019 we entered into preliminary settlement agreements to resolve the alleged violations under each NOV for administrative penalties in the amount of $149,832 and $142,233, respectively. We intend to mitigate a portion of each administrative penalty through the implementation of environmentally beneficial projects.

•In April 2018, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”) issued a Compliance Advisory in relation to an improperly permitted facility flare and related air emissions from flare operations at one of our gas processing plants that we self-disclosed to CDPHE in December 2017. Following information exchanges and discussions with CDPHE, during the first quarter of 2019, a resolution was proposed pursuant to which the plant's air permit would be revised to include the flare and emissions limits for such flare in addition to us paying an administrative penalty as well as an economic benefit payment generally covering the period when the flare was required to be included in the facility air permit, in a combined amount expected to be between approximately $375,000 and $420,000. We are still evaluating and holding discussions with CDPHE as to the foregoing amounts and proposed settlement terms.

•In January 2019, CDPHE issued a Compliance Advisory in relation to an improperly configured facility flare meter, which failed to accurately track air emissions from the flare at one of our gas processing plants resulting in the flare exceeding its permitted emissions limits. Following information exchanges and discussions with CDPHE during the first and second quarters of 2019, a resolution was proposed that includes DCP completing a project to reduce levels of vapors directed to the flare to within existing permit limits in addition to us paying an administrative penalty of approximately $29,000 and making expenditures on an environmentally beneficial project of another $115,000. We are still holding discussions with CDPHE as to the foregoing amounts and proposed settlement terms.

19. Restructuring

In May 2019, we announced a voluntary separation program which resulted in $9 million of nonrecurring expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. We expect to incur an additional $2 million of expense during the remainder of 2019 in relation to the voluntary separation program.

20. Business Segments

Our operations are organized into two reportable segments: (i) Logistics and Marketing and (ii) Gathering and Processing. These segments are monitored separately by management for performance against our internal forecast and are consistent with internal financial reporting. These segments have been identified based on the differing products and services, regulatory environment and the expertise required for these operations. Our Gathering and Processing reportable segment includes operating segments that have been aggregated based on the nature of the products and services provided. Gross margin is a performance measure utilized by management to monitor the operations of each segment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included as Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Our Logistics and Marketing segment includes transporting, trading, marketing, storing natural gas and NGLs, and fractionating NGLs.

(a)Gross margin consists of total operating revenues, including commodity derivative activity, less purchases and related costs. Gross margin is viewed as a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC, but is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a primary performance measure used by management as it represents the results of product sales versus product purchases. As an indicator of our operating performance, gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or net cash provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our gross margin may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate gross margin in the same manner.

(b)Non-cash commodity derivative mark-to-market is included in gross margin, along with cash settlements for our commodity derivative contracts.

(c)Other long-term assets not allocable to segments consist of corporate leasehold improvements and other long-term assets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion analyzes our financial condition and results of operations. You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Overview

We are a Delaware limited partnership formed by DCP Midstream, LLC to own, operate, acquire and develop a diversified portfolio of complementary midstream energy assets. Our operations are organized into two reportable segments: (i) Logistics and Marketing and (ii) Gathering and Processing. Our Logistics and Marketing segment includes transporting, trading, marketing and storing natural gas and NGLs, and fractionating NGLs. Our Gathering and Processing segment consists of gathering, compressing, treating, and processing natural gas, producing and fractionating NGLs, and recovering condensate.

General Trends and Outlook

We anticipate our business will continue to be affected by the following key trends. Our expectations are based on assumptions made by us and information currently available to us. To the extent our underlying assumptions about or interpretations of available information prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from our expected results.

Our business is impacted by commodity prices and volumes. We mitigate a significant portion of commodity price risk on an overall Partnership basis by growing our fee based assets and by executing on our hedging program. Various factors impact both commodity prices and volumes, and as indicated in Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”, we have sensitivities to certain cash and non-cash changes in commodity prices.

In the long-term, our belief is that commodity prices will continue to be at levels which support crude, condensate, natural gas, and NGL production. We expect future commodity prices will be influenced by the severity of winter and summer weather, tariffs and other global economic conditions, the level of North American production and drilling activity by exploration and production companies and the balance of trade between imports and exports of liquid natural gas, NGLs and crude oil.

Our business is primarily driven by the level of production of natural gas by producers and of NGLs from processing plants connected to our pipelines and fractionators. These volumes can be affected by, among other things, reduced drilling activity, severe weather disruptions, operational outages and ethane rejection.

NGL prices are impacted by the balance of supply and demand from petrochemical and refining industries and export facilities. The petrochemical industry has been making significant investment in building, expanding and converting facilities to use lighter NGL-based feedstocks, including ethane in their chemical plants. As these facilities commence operations, ethane demand is expected to increase which could provide price support for increased recovery of ethane at gas processing plants. We believe these new facilities will cause increased demand over time, which should provide support for the increasing supply of ethane. In addition, export facilities are being expanded and built, which provide support for the increasing supply of NGLs. Although there can be, and has been, volatility in NGL prices, longer term we believe there will be sufficient demand in NGLs to support increasing supply.

We hedge commodity prices associated with a portion of our expected natural gas, NGL and condensate equity volumes in our Gathering and Processing segment. Drilling activity levels vary by geographic area; we will continue to target our strategy in geographic areas where we expect producer drilling activity.

Recent supply growth has resulted in industry wide infrastructure constraints at pipeline and fractionation facilities. We believe we are well positioned to manage through these constraints as a large, integrated midstream company, but growth of our business could be dampened in the near term while more industry wide pipeline and fractionation facilities are developed. Although there may be infrastructure constraints in the near term, we believe our growth projects and other industry wide projects coming on-line over the next two years will help mitigate those constraints. We believe these projects being developed will enable us to meet the demand of our customers.

We believe our contract structure with our producers provides us with significant protection from credit risk since we generally hold the product, sell it and withhold our fees prior to remittance of payments to the producer. Currently, our top 20

producers account for a majority of the total natural gas that we gather and process and of these top 20 producers, 11 have investment grade credit ratings.

In addition to the U.S. financial markets, many businesses and investors continue to monitor global economic conditions. Uncertainty abroad may contribute to volatility in domestic financial and commodity markets.

We believe we are positioned to withstand current and future commodity price volatility as a result of the following:

•Our growing fee-based business represents a significant portion of our margins.

•We have positive operating cash flow from our well-positioned and diversified assets.

•We have a well-defined and targeted hedging program.

•We manage our disciplined capital growth program with a significant focus on fee-based agreements and projects with long-term volume outlooks.

•We believe we have a solid capital structure and balance sheet.

•We believe we have access to sufficient capital to fund our growth via excess coverage and divestitures.

During 2019, our strategic objectives will continue to focus on maintaining stable Distributable Cash Flows from our existing assets and executing on opportunities to sustain and ultimately grow our long-term Distributable Cash Flows. We believe the key elements to stable Distributable Cash Flows are the diversity of our asset portfolio, our fee-based business which represents a significant portion of our estimated margins, plus our hedged commodity position, the objective of which is to protect against downside risk in our Distributable Cash Flows.

We have engaged in a disciplined growth strategy in recent years focusing on our key areas of operations. Our targeted strategy may take numerous forms such as organic build opportunities within our footprint, joint venture opportunities, and acquisitions. Growth opportunities will be evaluated in cooperation with producers and customers based on the expected level of drilling activity in these geographic regions and the impacts of higher costs of capital.

Some of our growth projects include the following:

•Within our Logistics and Marketing segment, we have a 25% ownership interest in the Gulf Coast Express pipeline, or "GCX". The GCX project is designed to transport approximately 2 Bcf/d of natural gas, is fully subscribed and is anticipated to be in-service late in the third quarter of 2019.

•We are adding NGL takeaway to the DJ Basin with our Southern Hills pipeline extension with capacity of 90 MBbls/d, expandable to 120 MBbls/d. Expected completion is in the fourth quarter of 2019.

•We are participating in the Front Range 100 MBbls/d and Texas Express 90 MBbls/d expansions adding NGL takeaway from the DJ Basin. Both expansions are expected to go into service in the fourth quarter of 2019.

•We are expanding the Southern Hills pipeline by approximately 40 MBbls/d which will increase capacity to 230 MBbls/d with an expected in-service date in the fourth quarter of 2020.

•We hold an option to acquire a 30% ownership interest in two 150 MBbls/d fractionators to be constructed within Phillips 66's Sweeny Hub, exercisable at the in-service date, which is expected to be in late 2020.

•We have a 33% ownership option in the Cheyenne Connector pipeline, exercisable after Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval of the project.

•Within our Gathering and Processing Segment, the 200 MMcf/d O'Connor 2 plant is in its final commissioning stages and is expected to be in service by the end of August 2019. The associated 100 MMcf/d bypass is expected to be in-service by the end of the third quarter of 2019.

•We announced execution of a strategic, capital efficient offload agreement to provide up to 225 MMcf/d of incremental DJ Basin processing capacity by mid-2020.

We incur capital expenditures for our consolidated entities and our unconsolidated affiliates. Our 2019 plan includes maintenance capital expenditures of between $90 million and $110 million, and expansion capital expenditures of between $600 million and $800 million. Expansion capital expenditures are expected to include the construction of the O'Connor 2 facility in our DJ Basin as well as the construction of the Gulf Coast Express pipeline, the Front Range and Texas Express expansions and the extension of Southern Hills into the DJ Basin, which are shown as investments in unconsolidated affiliates in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 vs. Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

Total Operating Revenues — Total operating revenues decreased $579 million in 2019 compared to 2018, primarily as a result of the following:

•$705 million decrease as a result of lower commodity prices, which impacted both sales and purchases, before the impact of derivative activity; and

•$4 million decrease in transportation, processing and other.

These decreases were partially offset by:

•$128 million increase attributable to higher gas and NGL sales volumes, which impacted both sales and purchases; and

•$2 million increase as a result of commodity derivative activity attributable to a $19 million increase in unrealized commodity derivative gains partially offset by an increase in realized cash settlement losses of $17 million due to movements in forward prices of commodities in 2019.

Purchases and Related Costs — Purchases and related costs decreased $611 million in 2019 compared to 2018, primarily as a result of lower commodity prices, partially offset by higher gas and NGL sales volumes.

Other Expense, net — Other expense in 2018 primarily represents the write-off of property, plant and equipment associated with asset rationalization.

Segment Gross Margin — Segment gross margin increased $32 million in 2019 compared to 2018, primarily as a result of the following:

•$41 million increase in gas marketing margins due to favorable commodity spreads primarily associated with Guadalupe; and

•$2 million increase as a result of commodity derivative activity discussed above.

These increases are partially offset by:

•$4 million decrease as a result of lower gas storage margins;

•$4 million decrease in NGL marketing margins; and

•$3 million decrease due to the sale of our wholesale propane business.

NGL Pipelines Throughput — NGL pipelines throughput increased in 2019 compared to 2018 primarily as a result of higher throughput volumes on Sand Hills due to ongoing capacity expansion on the Sand Hills and Southern Hills pipelines and higher throughput volumes on Southern Hills.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Total Operating Revenues — Total operating revenues decreased $513 million in 2019 compared to 2018, primarily as a result of the following:

•$1,025 million decrease as a result of lower commodity prices, which impacted both sales and purchases, before the impact of derivative activity; and

•$6 million decrease in transportation, processing and other.

These decreases were partially offset by:

•$479 million increase attributable to higher gas and NGL sales volumes, which impacted both sales and purchases; and

•$39 million increase as a result of commodity derivative activity attributable to an increase in unrealized commodity derivative gains of $44 million partially offset by an increase in realized cash settlement losses of $5 million due to movements in forward prices of commodities in 2019.

Purchases and related costs — Purchases and related costs decreased $585 million in 2019 compared to 2018, primarily as a result of lower commodity prices, partially offset by higher gas and NGL sales volumes.

Other Expense, net — Other expense in 2018 primarily represents the write-off of property, plant and equipment associated with asset rationalization.

Loss on Sale of Assets, net — The loss on sale in 2019 represents the sale of our wholesale propane business and other non-core assets.

•$61 million increase in gas marketing margins due to favorable commodity spreads primarily associated with Guadalupe; and

•$39 million increase as a result of commodity derivative activity discussed above.

These increases are partially offset by:

•$20 million decrease as a result of lower gas storage margins and a 2019 inventory valuation adjustment;

•$4 million decrease in NGL marketing margins; and

•$4 million decrease due to the sale of our wholesale propane business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We expect our sources of liquidity to include:

•cash generated from operations;

•cash distributions from our unconsolidated affiliates;

•borrowings under our Credit Agreement;

•proceeds from asset rationalization;

•debt offerings;

•issuances of additional common units, preferred units or other securities;

•borrowings under term loans, securitization agreements or other credit facilities; and

•letters of credit.

We anticipate our more significant uses of resources to include:

•quarterly distributions to our common unitholders and General Partner, and distributions to our preferred unitholders;

•payments to service our debt;

•growth capital expenditures;

•contributions to our unconsolidated affiliates to finance our share of their capital expenditures;

•business and asset acquisitions; and

•collateral with counterparties to our swap contracts to secure potential exposure under these contracts, which may, at times, be significant depending on commodity price movements.

We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements, long-term capital expenditure and acquisition requirements and quarterly cash distributions for the next twelve months.

We routinely evaluate opportunities for strategic investments or acquisitions. Future material investments or acquisitions may require that we obtain additional capital, assume third party debt or incur other long-term obligations. We have the option to utilize both equity and debt instruments as vehicles for the long-term financing of our investment activities and acquisitions.

Based on current and anticipated levels of operations, we believe we have adequate committed financial resources to conduct our ongoing business, although deterioration in our operating environment could limit our borrowing capacity, impact our credit ratings, raise our financing costs, as well as impact our compliance with our financial covenant requirements under the Credit Agreement and the indentures governing our notes.

Senior Notes — On May 10, 2019, we issued $600 million of aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due May 2029, unless redeemed prior to maturity. We received proceeds of $592 million, net of underwriters' fees, related expenses, and unamortized discounts, which we used for general partnership purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and the funding of capital expenditures. Interest on the notes will be paid semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing November 15, 2019.

On April 1, 2019, we repaid at maturity all $325 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 2.70% Senior Notes due 2019, which we repaid in the entirety using borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Credit Agreement — As of June 30, 2019, we had unused borrowing capacity of $1,385 million, net of $15 million of letters of credit, and no outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Our cost of borrowing under the Credit Agreement is determined by a ratings-based pricing grid. As of August 1, 2019, we had approximately $1,237 million of unused borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement, net of $15 million of letters of credit.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility – As of June 30, 2019, we had $200 million of outstanding borrowings under our Securitization Facility at LIBOR market index rates plus a margin. We expect to renew the Securitization Facility in August 2019, prior to its maturity.

Issuance of Securities — In November 2017, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC that became effective upon filing and allows us to issue an indeterminate amount of common units, preferred units, and debt securities. The Senior Notes described above were issued under this registration statement.

In August 2017, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC which allows us to issue up to $750 million in common units pursuant to our at-the-market program. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we did not issue any common units pursuant to this registration statement, and $750 million remained available for future sales.

Commodity Swaps and Collateral — Changes in natural gas, NGL and condensate prices and the terms of our processing arrangements have a direct impact on our generation and use of cash from operations due to their impact on net income, along with the resulting changes in working capital. For additional information regarding our derivative activities, please read Item 3. "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" contained herein.

When we enter into commodity swap contracts we may be required to provide collateral to the counterparties in the event that our potential payment exposure exceeds a predetermined collateral threshold. Collateral thresholds are set by us and each counterparty, as applicable, in the master contract that governs our financial transactions based on our and the counterparty’s assessment of creditworthiness. The assessment of our position with respect to the collateral thresholds are determined on a counterparty by counterparty basis, and are impacted by the representative forward price curves and notional quantities under our swap contracts. Due to the interrelation between the representative crude oil and natural gas forward price curves, it is not practical to determine a pricing point at which our swap contracts will meet the collateral thresholds as we may transact multiple commodities with the same counterparty. Depending on daily commodity prices, the amount of collateral posted can go up or down on a daily basis.

Working Capital — Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities. Current assets are reduced by our quarterly distributions, which are required under the terms of our Partnership Agreement based on Available Cash, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. In general, our working capital is impacted by changes in the prices of commodities that we buy and sell, inventory levels, and other business factors that affect our net income and cash flows. Our working capital is also impacted by the timing of operating cash receipts and disbursements, cash collateral we may be required to post with counterparties to our commodity derivative instruments, borrowings of and payments on debt and the Securitization Facility, capital expenditures, and increases or decreases in other long-term assets. We expect that our future working capital requirements will be impacted by these same recurring factors.

We had working capital deficits of $980 million and $633 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The change in working capital is primarily attributable to current maturities of long-term debt. We had a net derivative working capital surplus of $12 million and $17 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019, we had $1 million in cash and cash equivalents, all of which was held by consolidated subsidiaries we do not wholly own.

Cash Flow — Operating, investing and financing activities were as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018
	(millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	546	$	331
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(446)	$	(391)
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(100)	$	(92)

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

Operating Activities - Net cash provided by operating activities increased $215 million in 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The changes in net cash provided by operating activities are attributable to our net income adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in working capital as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, we received $10 million more of cash distributions in excess of earnings from unconsolidated affiliates during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. For additional information regarding fluctuations in our earnings and distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, please read "Results of Operations".

Investing Activities - Net cash used in investing activities increased $55 million in 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily as a result of higher capital expenditures used for construction of the O'Connor 2 facility and associated gathering infrastructure, and higher investments in unconsolidated affiliates for the investment in Gulf Coast Express, capacity expansions of the Sand Hills, Front Range and Texas Express pipelines, and extension of the Southern Hills pipeline, offset by proceeds from the sale of our wholesale propane business and other non-core assets in 2019.

Financing Activities - Net cash used in financing activities increased $8 million in 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily as a result of proceeds from the issuance of preferred limited partner units in 2018 and higher distributions paid to preferred unitholders in 2019, partially offset by higher net proceeds from long-term debt and lower distributions paid to limited partners and the general partner due to $40 million of IDR givebacks paid in 2018 previously withheld in 2017.

Capital Requirements — The midstream energy business can be capital intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain and upgrade existing operations. Our capital requirements have consisted primarily of, and we anticipate will continue to consist of the following:

•Maintenance capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures to maintain our cash flows, operating or earnings capacity. These expenditures add on to or improve capital assets owned, including certain system integrity, compliance and safety improvements. Maintenance capital expenditures also include certain well connects, and may include the acquisition or construction of new capital assets; and

•Expansion capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures to increase our cash flows, operating or earnings capacity. Expansion capital expenditures include acquisitions or capital improvements (where we add on to or improve the capital assets owned, or acquire or construct new gathering lines and well connects, treating facilities, processing plants, fractionation facilities, pipelines, terminals, docks, truck racks, tankage and other storage, distribution or transportation facilities and related or similar midstream assets).

The following table summarizes our maintenance and expansion capital expenditures for our consolidated entities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:


	Six Months Ended June 30, 2019										Six Months Ended June 30, 2018
	Maintenance Capital Expenditures		Expansion Capital Expenditures		Total Consolidated Capital Expenditures		Maintenance Capital Expenditures		Expansion Capital Expenditures		Total Consolidated Capital Expenditures
	(millions)

Total	$	39	$	269	$	308	$	47	$	221	$	268

(a)Represents the noncontrolling interest and reimbursable portion of our capital expenditures. We have entered into agreements with third parties whereby we will be reimbursed for certain expenditures. Depending on the timing of these payments, we may be reimbursed prior to incurring the capital expenditure.

In addition, we invested cash in unconsolidated affiliates of $270 million and $126 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, to fund our share of capital expansion projects.

We intend to make cash distributions to our unitholders and our general partner. Due to our cash distribution policy, we expect that we will distribute to our unitholders most of the cash generated by our operations. As a result, we expect that we will rely upon external financing sources, to fund future acquisitions and capital expenditures.

We expect to fund future capital expenditures with funds generated from our operations, borrowings under our Credit Agreement, and the issuance of additional debt and equity securities.

Cash Distributions to Unitholders — Our Partnership Agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we distribute all Available Cash, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. We made cash distributions to our common unitholders and general partner of $309 million and $349 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In accordance with our Partnership Agreement, distributions declared were $154 million and $309 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, no IDR giveback was withheld from the distribution declared.

We expect to continue to use cash provided by operating activities for the payment of distributions to our unitholders and general partner. See Note 16. "Partnership Equity and Distributions" in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. “Financial Statements.”

Total Contractual Cash Obligations

A summary of our total contractual cash obligations as of June 30, 2019, was as follows:


	Payments Due by Period
	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		Thereafter
	(millions)
Debt (a)	$	8,740	$	896	$	1,367	$	929	$	5,548
Operating lease obligations	83		10		40		22		11
Purchase obligations (b)	5,550		929		1,722		1,468		1,431
Other long-term liabilities (c)	152		—		7		20		125
Total	$	14,525	$	1,835	$	3,136	$	2,439	$	7,115

(a)Includes interest payments on debt securities that have been issued. These interest payments are $296 million, $517 million, $429 million, and $2,123 million for less than one year, one to three years, three to five years, and thereafter, respectively.

(b)Our purchase obligations are contractual obligations and include purchase orders and non-cancelable construction agreements for capital expenditures, various non-cancelable commitments to purchase physical quantities of commodities in future periods and other items, including long-term fractionation agreements. For contracts where the price paid is based on an index or other market-based rates, the amount is based on the forward market prices or current market rates as of June 30, 2019. Purchase obligations exclude accounts payable, accrued taxes and other current

liabilities recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Purchase obligations also exclude current and long-term unrealized losses on derivative instruments included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which represent the current fair value of various derivative contracts and do not represent future cash purchase obligations. These contracts may be settled financially at the difference between the future market price and the contractual price and may result in cash payments or cash receipts in the future, but generally do not require delivery of physical quantities of the underlying commodity. In addition, many of our gas purchase contracts include short and long-term commitments to purchase produced gas at market prices. These contracts, which have no minimum quantities, are excluded from

the table.

(c)Other long-term liabilities include asset retirement obligations, long-term environmental remediation liabilities, gas purchase liabilities and other miscellaneous liabilities recognized in the June 30, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet. The table above excludes non-cash obligations as well as $36 million of Executive Deferred Compensation Plan contributions and $8 million of long-term incentive plans as the amount and timing of any payments are not subject to reasonable estimation.

Off-Balance Sheet Obligations

As of June 30, 2019, we had no items that were classified as off-balance sheet obligations.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Gross Margin and Segment Gross Margin — In addition to net income, we view our gross margin as an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. We review our gross margin monthly for consistency and trend analysis.

We define gross margin as total operating revenues, less purchases and related costs, and we define segment gross margin for each segment as total operating revenues for that segment less commodity purchases for that segment. Our gross margin equals the sum of our segment gross margins. Gross margin and segment gross margin are primary performance measures used by management, as these measures represent the results of product sales and purchases, a key component of our operations. As an indicator of our operating performance, gross margin and segment gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating revenues, net income or loss, net income or loss attributable to partners, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA — We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss attributable to partners adjusted for (i) distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, net of earnings, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) net interest expense, (iv) noncontrolling interest in depreciation and income tax expense, (v) unrealized gains and losses from commodity derivatives, (vi) income tax expense or benefit, (vii) impairment expense and (viii) certain other non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Management believes these measures provide investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or loss, net income or loss attributable to partners, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance, liquidity or ability to service debt obligations.

Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure and adjusted segment EBITDA is used as a supplemental performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess:

•financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;

•our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing methods or capital structure;

•viability and performance of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on investment opportunities; and

•in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness, make cash distributions to our unitholders and general partner, and finance maintenance capital expenditures.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA — We define adjusted segment EBITDA for each segment as segment net income or loss attributable to partners adjusted for (i) distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, net of earnings, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) net interest expense, (iv) noncontrolling interest in depreciation and income tax expense, (v) unrealized gains and losses from commodity derivatives, (vi) income tax expense or benefit, (vii) impairment expense and (viii) certain other non-cash items. Adjusted segment EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations for that segment. Our adjusted segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate adjusted segment EBITDA in the same manner.

Adjusted segment EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to our financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, including operating revenues, net income or loss attributable to partners, or any other measure of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.

Our gross margin, segment gross margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate these measures in the same manner. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of gross margin, segment gross margin and adjusted segment EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Distributable Cash Flow — We define Distributable Cash Flow as adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, less maintenance capital expenditures, net of reimbursable projects, less interest expense, less income attributable to preferred units, and certain other items. Maintenance capital expenditures are cash expenditures made to maintain our cash flows, operating or

earnings capacity. These expenditures add on to or improve capital assets owned, including certain system integrity, compliance and safety improvements. Maintenance capital expenditures also include certain well connects, and may include the acquisition or construction of new capital assets. Income attributable to preferred units represent cash distributions earned by the preferred units. Cash distributions to be paid to the holders of the preferred units assuming a distribution is declared by our board of directors, are not available to common unit holders. Non-cash mark-to-market of derivative instruments is considered to be non-cash for the purpose of computing Distributable Cash Flow because settlement will not occur until future periods, and will be impacted by future changes in commodity prices and interest rates. We compare the Distributable Cash Flow we generate to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners. Using this metric, we compute our distribution coverage ratio. Distributable Cash Flow is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess our ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders and our general partner.

Our Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate Distributable Cash Flow in the same manner.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” within Item 7 “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included as Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. With the exception of updates to significant accounting policies discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the accounting policies and estimates used in preparing our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are the same as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Our sensitivities for 2019 as shown in the table below are estimated based on our average estimated commodity price exposure and commodity cash flow protection activities for the calendar year 2019, and exclude the impact of non-cash mark-to-market changes on our commodity derivatives. We utilize direct product crude oil, natural gas and NGL derivatives to mitigate a portion of our condensate, natural gas and NGL commodity price exposure. These sensitivities are associated with our condensate, natural gas and NGL volumes that are currently unhedged.

Commodity Sensitivities Net of Cash Flow Protection Activities


	Per Unit Decrease		Unit of Measurement	Estimated Decrease in Annual Net Income Attributable to Partners
				(millions)
NGL prices	$	0.01	Gallon	$	3
Natural gas prices	$	0.10	MMBtu	$	7
Crude oil prices	$	1.00	Barrel	$	3

In addition to the linear relationships in our commodity sensitivities above, additional factors may cause us to be less sensitive to commodity price declines. A portion of our net income is derived from fee-based contracts and a portion from percentage-of-proceeds and percentage-of-liquids processing arrangements that contain minimum fee clauses in which our processing margins convert to fee-based arrangements as commodity prices decline.

We estimate the following sensitivities related to the non-cash mark-to-market on our commodity derivatives associated with our open position on our commodity cash flow protection activities:

Non-Cash Mark-To-Market Commodity Sensitivities


	Per Unit Increase		Unit of Measurement	Estimated Mark-to- Market Impact (Decrease in Net Income Attributable to Partners)
				(millions)
NGL prices	$	0.01	Gallon	$	2
Natural gas prices	$	0.10	MMBtu	$	2
Crude oil prices	$	1.00	Barrel	$	2

While the above commodity price sensitivities are indicative of the impact that changes in commodity prices may have on our annualized net income, changes during certain periods of extreme price volatility and market conditions or changes in the relationship of the price of NGLs and crude oil may cause our commodity price sensitivities to vary significantly from these estimates.

The midstream natural gas industry is cyclical, with the operating results of companies in the industry significantly affected by the prevailing price of NGLs, which in turn has been generally related to the price of crude oil. Although the prevailing price of residue natural gas has less short-term significance to our operating results than the price of NGLs, in the long-term the growth and sustainability of our business depends on natural gas prices being at levels sufficient to provide incentives and capital for producers to increase natural gas exploration and production. To minimize potential future commodity-based pricing and cash flow volatility, we have entered into a series of derivative financial instruments.

Based on historical trends, we generally expect NGL prices to directionally follow changes in crude oil prices over the long-term. However, the pricing relationship between NGLs and crude oil may vary, as we believe crude oil prices will in large part be determined by the level of production from major crude oil exporting countries and the demand generated by growth in the world economy, whereas NGL prices are more correlated to supply and U.S. petrochemical demand. Additionally, the level of NGL export demand may also have an impact on prices. We believe that future natural gas prices will be influenced by the severity of winter and summer weather, the level of North American production and drilling activity of exploration and production companies and the balance of trade between imports and exports of liquid natural gas and NGLs. Drilling activity can be adversely affected as natural gas prices decrease. Energy market uncertainty could also reduce North American drilling activity. Limited access to capital could also decrease drilling. Lower drilling levels over a sustained period would reduce natural gas volumes gathered and processed, but could increase commodity prices, if supply were to fall relative to demand levels.

Natural Gas Storage and Pipeline Asset Based Commodity Derivative Program — Our natural gas storage and pipeline assets are exposed to certain risks including changes in commodity prices. We manage commodity price risk related to our natural gas storage and pipeline assets through our commodity derivative program. The commercial activities related to our natural gas storage and pipeline assets primarily consist of the purchase and sale of gas and associated time spreads and basis spreads.

A time spread transaction is executed by establishing a long gas position at one point in time and establishing an equal short gas position at a different point in time. Time spread transactions allow us to lock in a margin supported by the injection, withdrawal, and storage capacity of our natural gas storage assets. We may execute basis spread transactions to mitigate the risk of sale and purchase price differentials across our system. A basis spread transaction allows us to lock in a margin on our physical purchases and sales of gas, including injections and withdrawals from storage. We typically use swaps to execute these transactions, which are not designated as hedging instruments and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the current period condensed consolidated statements of operations. While gas held in our storage locations is recorded at the lower of average cost or market, the derivative instruments that are used to manage our storage facilities are recorded at fair value and any changes in fair value are currently recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Even though we may have economically hedged our exposure and locked in a future margin, the use of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting for our physical inventory and the use of mark-to-market accounting for our derivative instruments may subject our earnings to market volatility.

The following tables set forth additional information about our derivative instruments, used to mitigate a portion of our natural gas price risk associated with our inventory within our natural gas storage operations as of June 30, 2019:
