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” and can be identified 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 current 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 these 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, including the following risks and uncertainties:
•conflicts of interest may exist between our individual Series C preferred unitholders and Phillips 66, which has the authority to conduct, direct and manage the activities of DCP Midstream, LLC associated with the Partnership and our general partner;
•risks related to the disruption of economies around the world including the oil, gas and NGL industry in which we operate and the resulting adverse impact on our business, liquidity, commodity prices, workforce, third-party and counterparty effects and resulting federal, state and local actions;
•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;
•other factors beyond our control including the increased cost of labor, contractors, services, supplies and materials due to persistent inflation;
•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 grow through organic growth projects, or acquisitions, and the successful integration and future performance of such assets;
•our 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 Credit Agreement 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, including the impact of bankruptcies;
•industry changes, including consolidations, alternative energy sources, technological advances, infrastructure constraints and changes in competition;
iii
•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 hire, train, and retain qualified personnel to execute our business strategy;
•the success of our ongoing integration with Phillips 66;
•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 our 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, 2023 and 2022
(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 15 "Business Segments" in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. "Financial Statements".
Our operations and activities are managed by our general partner, DCP Midstream GP, LP (“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. Phillips 66 has the authority to conduct, direct and manage the activities of DCP Midstream, LLC associated with the Partnership and our general partner, and, therefore, effectively controls our business and affairs.
On January 5, 2023, the Partnership, GP LP, the General Partner, Phillips 66, Phillips 66 Project Development Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66 (“PDI”), and Dynamo Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of PDI (“Merger Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving as a Delaware limited partnership (the “Merger”). The Merger was completed on June 15, 2023 in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each common unit representing a limited partner interest in the Partnership (each, a “Common Unit”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Sponsor Owned Units, as defined below) (each, a “Public Common Unit”) was converted into the right to receive $41.75 per Public Common Unit in cash, without any interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”). The Common Units owned by DCP Midstream, LLC and the General Partner (collectively, the “Sponsor Owned Units”) were unaffected by the Merger and remained outstanding immediately following the Merger as Common Units of the Partnership. Following the Merger, the Common Units were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and a Form 15 has been filed to deregister the Common Units under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
As a result of the Merger, Phillips 66’s economic interest in the Partnership increased from 43.3% to approximately 86.8%. Enbridge's economic interest in the Partnership was unchanged, and remains at approximately 13.2%.
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 GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Revenue Recognition

7. 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.
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.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
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.
The following table presents the financial instruments carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, by condensed consolidated balance sheet caption and by valuation hierarchy, as described above:

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.

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.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a $10 million impairment associated with an office lease that we vacated and partially sublet as part of our integration with Phillips 66 during the three months ended June 30, 2023. This impairment is recorded within restructuring costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and other, net within our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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 based on quotes obtained from bond dealers. The carrying value of borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the Securitization Facility approximate 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value and fair value of our total debt, including current maturities, were as follows:

Junior Notes Redemption
On May 19, 2023, we redeemed, at par, prior to maturity all $550 million of aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 5.850% Junior Notes due May 2043, using borrowings under our Credit Facility and Securitization Facility.
Senior Notes Redemption
On March 15, 2023, we repaid, at par, all $500 million of aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 3.875% Senior Notes due March 15, 2023, using borrowings under our Credit Facility and Securitization Facility.
Intercompany Credit Agreement
On June 15, 2023, we and our wholly owned subsidiary, DCP Midstream Operating, LP, entered into a new five-year revolving Intercompany Credit Agreement with Phillips 66, as lender. The Intercompany Credit Agreement provides up to $1 billion of borrowing capacity, with an option to increase the commitment by an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million, subject to lender approval. At our election, the Intercompany Credit Agreement bears interest at either the adjusted term SOFR rate or the base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on our credit rating. A ratings-based pricing grid determines our cost of borrowing under the Intercompany Credit Agreement. Indebtedness under the Intercompany Credit Agreement bears interest at either: (1) SOFR, plus an applicable margin of 1.075% based on our current credit rating, plus an adjustment of 0.10%; or (2) (a) the base rate, which shall be the higher of the prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the SOFR Market Index rate plus 1.00%, plus (b) an applicable margin of 0.075% based on our current credit rating. Based on our current credit rating, the Intercompany Credit Agreement incurs an annual facility fee of 0.175%.

As of June 30, 2023, we had unused borrowing capacity of $900 million, net of $100 million of outstanding borrowings, under the Intercompany Credit Agreement, of which $900 million would have been available to borrow for working capital and other general partnership purposes based on the financial covenants set forth in the Intercompany Credit Agreement. Except in the case of a default, amounts borrowed under our Intercompany Credit Agreement will not become due prior to the June 15, 2028 maturity date.
Credit Agreement
We are party to a $1.4 billion unsecured revolving Credit Facility governed by the Credit Agreement that bears interest at either the term SOFR rate or the base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on our credit rating. The Credit Agreement matures on March 18, 2027. The Credit Agreement also includes sustainability linked key performance indicators that increase or decrease the applicable margin and facility fee payable thereunder based on our safety performance relative to our peers and year-over-year change in our greenhouse gas emissions intensity rate.
As of June 30, 2023, we had unused borrowing capacity of $548 million, net of $850 million of outstanding borrowings and $2 million of letters of credit, under the Credit Agreement, of which $548 million would have been available to borrow for working capital and other general partnership purposes based on the financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. Except in the case of a default, amounts borrowed under our Credit Agreement will not become due prior to the March 18, 2027 maturity date.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility
The Securitization Facility provides for up to $350 million of borrowing capacity through August 2024 at an adjusted SOFR rate and includes an uncommitted option to increase the total commitments under the Securitization Facility by up to an additional $400 million. 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, a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity created for the sole purpose of the Securitization Facility.
As of June 30, 2023, DCP Receivables had approximately $785 million of our accounts receivable securing borrowings of $280 million under the Securitization Facility.

9. 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, 2023, we had cash deposits of $3 million, included in collateral cash deposits in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as of June 30, 2023, we held letters of credit of $23 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.
Offsetting
Certain of our financial 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. We have trade receivables and payables associated with derivative instruments, subject to master netting or similar agreements, which are not included in the table below.

10. Partnership Equity and Distributions
Common Units — Following the completion of the Merger on June 15, 2023, all of the Common Units of the Partnership are owned by DCP Midstream, LLC, DCP Midstream GP, LP and Phillips 66 Project Development Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66. Former holders of Public Common Units ceased to have any rights as holders of Common Units at the Effective Time, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The Common Units were delisted from the NYSE and we filed to suspend our reporting obligations with respect to the Common Units under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Preferred Units — On June 15, 2023 we paid $161 million to redeem in full the outstanding Series B Preferred Units at a redemption price of $25 per unit using cash on hand and borrowings under our Securitization Facility. The difference between the redemption price of the Series B Preferred Units and the carrying value on the balance sheet resulted in an approximately $5 million reduction to net income allocable to limited partners. The carrying value represented the original issuance proceeds, net of underwriting fees and offering costs for the Series B Preferred Units. Following the redemption, the Series B Preferred Units

13. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Litigation — We are not a party to any material 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.
Environment, Health and Safety — 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 the environment, health and safety. 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 health and safety, public health and 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, health and safety standards applicable to workers and the public, 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 as well as general oil and gas production facilities and the real or perceived environmental or public health impacts of these activities, 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 agencies regarding the emission of greenhouse gases and other air emissions associated with our operations or the materials managed as part of our business, 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 as a party under federal, state, and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. We have elected to disclose matters where we reasonably believe such proceeding would result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of $1 million or more. 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 on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows:
•In 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, which we had self-disclosed to CDPHE in December 2017. Following information exchanges and discussions with CDPHE, 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. A revised air permit was issued in May 2019, but the parties had not yet entered into a final settlement agreement to complete the matter. Subsequently, in July 2020 CDPHE issued a Notice of Violation in relation to amine treater emissions at this gas processing plant, which we had self-disclosed to CDPHE in April 2020. We are still exchanging information and holding discussions with CDPHE as to this and the foregoing flare-related enforcement matter, including possible settlement terms, although these matters, which have since been combined, may end up in formal legal proceedings. It is possible that resolution of this matter may include an administrative penalty and economic benefit payment, further revising the facility air permit, or installation of emissions management equipment, or a combination of these, that could, in the aggregate, exceed the disclosure threshold amount described above,

although we do not believe that resolution of this matter would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
14. Restructuring Costs
We undertook restructuring actions, as well as other transformation and integration efforts, as part of our integration with Phillips 66. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred $16 million and $26 million, respectively, in impairment, severance and other employee related costs.

15. 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. Adjusted 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 the 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, 2022.
Our Logistics and Marketing segment includes transporting, trading, marketing, storing natural gas and NGLs, and fractionating NGLs. Our Gathering and Processing segment consists of gathering, compressing, treating, processing natural gas, producing and fractionating NGLs, and recovering condensate. The remainder of our business operations is presented as “Other,” and consists of unallocated corporate costs. Elimination of inter-segment transactions are reflected in the Eliminations column.

(a) Adjusted gross margin consists of total operating revenues, including commodity derivative activity, less purchases and related costs. Adjusted 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, adjusted gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or gross margin as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other entities may not calculate adjusted gross margin in the same manner.

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, 2022.
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.
Completion of Merger with Phillips 66
On June 15, 2023, pursuant to the terms of the previously disclosed Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 5, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Partnership, DCP Midstream GP, LP, the general partner of the Partnership (the “General Partner”), DCP Midstream GP, LLC, the general partner of the General Partner, Phillips 66, Phillips 66 Project Development Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66 (“PDI”), and Dynamo Merger Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of PDI (“Merger Sub”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving as a Delaware limited partnership (the “Merger”).
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each common unit representing a limited partner interest in the Partnership (each, a “Common Unit”) issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Sponsor Owned Units, as defined below) (each, a “Public Common Unit”) was converted into the right to receive $41.75 per Public Common Unit in cash, without any interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”). The Common Units owned by DCP Midstream, LLC and the General Partner (collectively, the “Sponsor Owned Units”) were unaffected by the Merger and remained outstanding immediately following the Merger as Common Units of the Partnership. Following the Merger, the Common Units were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and a Form 15 has been filed to deregister the Common Units under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
We continue to integrate certain of our operations with Phillips 66’s midstream segment, including the integration of operational services that were previously provided by DCP Services, LLC. As part of these integration efforts, we incurred restructuring costs that primarily consisted of severance and employee related charges. Continuing employees transferred employment to a Phillips 66 subsidiary on April 1, 2023, and general and administrative services will be provided by Phillips 66 or one or more of its subsidiaries going forward. Phillips 66 is the managing member of our General Partner and, therefore, is responsible for conducting, directing, and managing our business and affairs.
General Trends and Outlook
We anticipate our business will continue to be affected by the key trends discussed herein. 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 portion of commodity price risk on an overall Partnership basis through our fee-based assets. 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. Commodity prices are volatile and are subject to global energy supply and demand fundamentals as well as geopolitical disruptions. Drilling activity levels vary by geographic area and we will continue to target our strategy in geographic areas where we expect producer drilling activity.
Our business is predominantly fee-based and we have a diversified portfolio to balance the upside of our earnings potential while reducing our commodity exposure. We expect future commodity prices will be influenced by global economic conditions and geopolitical disruptions, the level of North American production and drilling activity by exploration and production companies, the balance of trade between imports and exports of liquid natural gas, NGLs and crude oil, and the severity of winter and summer weather.
27
We expect to be a proactive participant in the transition to a lower carbon energy future through increased efficiency and modernization of existing operations, which we expect will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from our base business. Going forward, our assets will be managed in a manner consistent with the emissions intensity reduction goals of Phillips 66.
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 impacted negatively by, among other things, reduced drilling activity, depressed commodity prices, severe weather disruptions, operational outages and ethane rejection. Upstream producers response to changes in commodity prices and demand remain uncertain.
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, 9 have investment grade credit ratings.
The global economic outlook continues to be a cause for concern for U.S. financial markets and businesses and investors alike. This uncertainty may contribute to volatility in financial and commodity markets.
We believe we are positioned to withstand future commodity price volatility as a result of the following:
•Our fee-based business represents a significant portion of our margins.
•We have positive operating cash flow from our well-positioned and diversified assets.
•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 including excess distribution coverage and divestitures.
During 2023, our strategic objective is to generate Excess Free Cash Flows (a non-GAAP measure defined in “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Excess Free Cash Flows”). We believe the key elements to generating Excess Free Cash Flows are the diversity of our asset portfolio and our fee-based business which represents a significant portion of our estimated margins. We will continue to pursue incremental revenue, cost efficiencies and operating improvements of our assets through process and technology improvements.
We incur capital expenditures for our consolidated entities and our unconsolidated affiliates. Our 2023 plan includes sustaining capital expenditures of approximately $150 million and expansion capital expenditures of approximately $125 million.

•$2,278 million decrease as a result of lower commodity prices before the impact of derivative activity.
This decrease was partially offset by:
•$33 million increase attributable to higher gas and NGL volumes; and
•$17 million increase as a result of commodity derivative activity attributable to a increase in realized cash settlement gains of $26 million, partially offset by an decrease in unrealized commodity derivative gains of $9 million due to movements in forward prices of commodities.
Purchases and Related Costs — Purchases and related costs decreased $2,246 million in 2023 compared to 2022, for the reasons discussed above.
Other Income — Other income in 2022 was primarily a result of contractual settlements.
Earnings from Unconsolidated Affiliates — Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates decreased in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily as a result of a contract amendment with a third party customer that modified performance obligations and conditions, resulting in higher non-recurring earnings on the Sand Hills pipeline in 2022.

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, Intercompany Credit Agreement, and Securitization Facility;
•proceeds from asset rationalizations;
•debt offerings; and
•borrowings under term loans, or other credit facilities.
We anticipate our more significant uses of resources to include:
•quarterly distributions to our common unitholders and distributions to our preferred unitholders;
•payments to service or retire our debt or Preferred Units;
•capital expenditures; and
•contributions to our unconsolidated affiliates to finance our share of their capital expenditures.
We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements, long-term capital expenditures and quarterly cash distributions.
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 or debt instruments for the long-term financing of our investment activities or 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 the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, Intercompany Credit Agreement, and other debt instruments.
Junior Notes Redemption — On May 19, 2023, we redeemed, at par, prior to maturity all $550 million of aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 5.850% Junior Notes due May 2043, using borrowings under our Credit Facility and Securitization Facility.
Series B Preferred Units Redemption — On June 15, 2023 we paid $161 million to redeem in full the outstanding Series B Preferred Units at a redemption price of $25 per unit using cash on hand and borrowings under our Securitization Facility. The difference between the redemption price of the Series B Preferred Units and the carrying value on the balance sheet resulted in an approximately $5 million reduction to net income allocable to limited partners. The carrying value represented the original issuance proceeds, net of underwriting fees and offering costs for the Series B Preferred Units.
39
Intercompany Credit Agreement — On June 15, 2023, we and our wholly owned subsidiary, DCP Midstream Operating, LP, entered into a new five-year revolving Intercompany Credit Agreement with Phillips 66, as lender. The Intercompany Credit Agreement provides up to $1 billion of borrowing capacity, with an option to increase the commitment by an aggregate principal amount of up to $500 million, subject to lender approval. At our election, the Intercompany Credit Agreement bears interest at either the adjusted term SOFR rate or the base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on our credit rating. A ratings-based pricing grid determines our cost of borrowing under the Intercompany Credit Agreement. Indebtedness under the Intercompany Credit Agreement bears interest at either: (1) SOFR, plus an applicable margin of 1.075% based on our current credit rating, plus an adjustment of 0.10%; or (2) (a) the base rate, which shall be the higher of the prime rate, the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the SOFR Market Index rate plus 1.00%, plus (b) an applicable margin of 0.075% based on our current credit rating. Based on our current credit rating, the Intercompany Credit Agreement incurs an annual facility fee of 0.175%.
As of June 30, 2023, we had unused borrowing capacity of $900 million, net of $100 million of outstanding borrowings, under the Intercompany Credit Agreement, of which $900 million would have been available to borrow for working capital and other general partnership purposes based on the financial covenants set forth in the Intercompany Credit Agreement. Except in the case of a default, amounts borrowed under our Intercompany Credit Agreement will not become due prior to the June 15, 2028 maturity date. As of July 28, 2023, we had unused borrowing capacity of $900 million, net of $100 million of outstanding borrowings.
Credit Agreement — We are party to a Credit Agreement that provides up to $1.4 billion of borrowing capacity and bears interest at either the term SOFR rate or the base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on our credit rating. The Credit Agreement matures on March 18, 2027.
As of June 30, 2023, we had unused borrowing capacity of $548 million, net of $850 million of outstanding borrowings and $2 million letters of credit, under the Credit Agreement, of which at least $548 million would have been available to borrow for working capital and other general partnership purposes based on the financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement. As of July 28, 2023, we had unused borrowing capacity of $548 million, net of $850 million of outstanding borrowings and $2 million of letters of credit under the Credit Agreement. Our cost of borrowing under the Credit Agreement is determined by a ratings-based pricing grid.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility — As of June 30, 2023, we had $280 million of outstanding borrowings under the Securitization Facility at the SOFR rate plus a margin.
Guarantee of Registered Debt Securities — The condensed consolidated financial statements of DCP Midstream, LP, or “parent guarantor”, include the accounts of DCP Midstream Operating LP, or “subsidiary issuer”, which is a 100% owned subsidiary, and all other subsidiaries which are all non-guarantor subsidiaries. The parent guarantor has agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the senior notes. The entirety of the Company’s operating assets and liabilities, operating revenues, expenses and other comprehensive income exist at its non-guarantor subsidiaries, and the parent guarantor and subsidiary issuer have no assets, liabilities or operations independent of their respective financing activities and investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries. All covenants in the indentures governing the notes limit the activities of subsidiary issuer, including limitations on the ability to pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, create liens, sell assets or make loans to parent guarantor.
The Company qualifies for alternative disclosure under Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, because the combined financial information of the subsidiary issuer and parent guarantor, excluding investments in subsidiaries that are not issuers or guarantors, reflect no material assets, liabilities or results of operations apart from their respective financing activities and investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries. Summarized financial information is presented as follows. The only assets, liabilities and results of operations of the subsidiary issuer and parent guarantor on a combined basis, independent of their respective investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries are:
•Accounts payable and other current liabilities of $73 million and $80 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively;
•Balances related to debt of $4.728 billion and $4.823 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively; and
•Interest expense, net of $69 million and $69 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $135 million and $138 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
40
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 in part 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 $142 million and $802 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, driven by current maturities of long term debt of $7 million and $506 million, respectively. We had net derivative working capital surplus of $24 million and deficit of $8 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Operating Activities — Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $205 million in 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. 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. For additional information regarding fluctuations in our earnings and distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, please read “Supplemental Information on Unconsolidated Affiliates” under “Results of Operations”.
Investing Activities — Net cash used in investing activities increased $90 million in 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of an increase in capital expenditures, partially offset by a return of capital from an investment and proceeds from the sale of assets.
Financing Activities — Net cash used in financing activities decreased $288 million in 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily as a result of lower net payments of debt, partially offset by the redemption of the Series B Preferred Units.
Contractual Obligations — Material contractual obligations arising in the normal course of business primarily consist of purchase obligations, long-term debt and related interest payments, leases, asset retirement obligations, and other long-term liabilities. See Note 8 "Debt" in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. "Financial Statements" for amounts outstanding on June 30, 2023, related to debt. Lease and asset retirement obligations are not materially different from what was disclosed in Notes 14 and 15, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 "Financial Statements" in Part II of form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Purchase Obligations are contractual obligations and include various non-cancelable commitments to purchase physical quantities of commodities in future periods and other items, including gas supply, fractionation and transportation agreements in the ordinary course of business.
Management believes that our cash and investment position and operating cash flows as well as capacity under existing and available credit agreements will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital requirements for the foreseeable future. We believe that our current and projected asset position is sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements.
Capital Requirements — The midstream energy business can be capital intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain and upgrade existing operations. In the ordinary course of our business, we purchase physical commodities and enter into arrangements related to other items, including long-term fractionation and transportation agreements, in future periods. We establish a margin for these purchases by entering into physical and financial sale and exchange transactions to maintain a balanced position between purchases and sales and future delivery obligations. We expect to fund the obligations with the corresponding sales to entities that we deem creditworthy or that have provided credit support we consider adequate. We may enter into purchase order and non-cancelable construction agreements for capital expenditures. Our capital requirements have consisted primarily of, and we anticipate will continue to consist of the following:
•Sustaining 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. Sustaining 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, or 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).
We incur capital expenditures for our consolidated entities and our unconsolidated affiliates. Our 2023 plan includes sustaining capital expenditures of $150 million and expansion capital expenditures of $125 million.
We expect to fund future capital expenditures with funds generated from our operations, borrowings under our Credit Agreement, Intercompany Credit Agreement, Securitization Facility and the issuance of additional debt and equity securities. Future material investments 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.
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 $179 million and $163 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
On July 14, 2023, we announced that the board of directors of the General Partner declared a quarterly distribution on our Common Units of $0.43 per Common Unit. The distribution will be paid on August 11, 2023 to unitholders of record on July 31, 2023.
Also on July 14, 2023, the board of directors of the General Partner declared a quarterly distribution on our Series C Preferred Units of $0.4969 per unit. The Series C distribution will be paid on October 16, 2023 to unitholders of record on October 2, 2023.
We expect to continue to use cash provided by operating activities for the payment of distributions to our unitholders. See Note 10 “Partnership Equity and Distributions” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. “Financial Statements”.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted Gross Margin and Segment Adjusted Gross Margin — In addition to net income, we view our adjusted gross margin as an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. We review our adjusted gross margin monthly for consistency and trend analysis.
We define adjusted gross margin as total operating revenues, less purchases and related costs, and we define segment adjusted gross margin for each segment as total operating revenues for that segment less purchases and related costs for that segment. Our adjusted gross margin equals the sum of our segment adjusted gross margins. Adjusted gross margin and segment adjusted 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, adjusted gross margin and segment adjusted gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating revenues, gross margin, segment gross margin, 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.
We believe adjusted gross margin provides useful information to our investors because our management views our adjusted gross margin and segment adjusted gross margin as important performance measures that represent the results of product sales and purchases, a key component of our operations. We review our adjusted gross margin and segment adjusted gross margin monthly for consistency and trend analysis. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in evaluating our operating results.
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 pay 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 adjusted gross margin, segment adjusted 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
43
same manner. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of adjusted gross margin, segment adjusted 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 sustaining capital expenditures, net of reimbursable projects, less interest expense, less income attributable to preferred units, and certain other items. Sustaining 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. Sustaining 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 the board of directors of the General Partner, 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. 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 similarly titled measures of other companies because other entities may not calculate Distributable Cash Flow in the same manner.
Excess Free Cash Flow — We define Excess Free Cash Flow as Distributable Cash Flow, as defined above, less distributions to limited partners, less expansion capital expenditures, net of reimbursable projects, and contributions to equity method investments and certain other items. Expansion capital expenditures are cash expenditures to increase our cash flows, or 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).
Excess Free 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, and is useful to investors and management as a measure of our ability to generate cash. Once business needs and obligations are met, including cash reserves to provide funds for distribution payments on our units and the proper conduct of our business, which includes cash reserves for future capital expenditures and anticipated credit needs, this cash can be used to reduce debt, reinvest in the company for future growth, or return to unitholders.
Our definition of Excess Free Cash Flow is limited in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, we believe the use of Excess Free Cash Flow for the limited purposes described above and in this report is not a substitute for net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the most comparable GAAP measure. Excess Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other entities may not calculate Excess Free Cash Flow in the same manner.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in "Critical Accounting 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, 2022 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, 2022. The accounting policies and estimates used in preparing our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are the same as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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, 2022.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our sensitivities for 2023 as shown in the table below are estimated based on our average estimated 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 | $ | 10 | ||||||||||||
Natural gas prices | $ | 0.10 | MMBtu | $ | 6 | ||||||||||||
Crude oil prices | $ | 1.00 | Barrel | $ | 5 |
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.
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.
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 level of North American production and drilling activity of exploration and production companies, the balance of trade between imports and exports of liquid natural gas and NGLs and the severity of winter and summer weather. Drilling activity can be adversely affected as natural gas prices decrease. Energy market uncertainty could also reduce North American drilling activity.
47
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 net realizable value, 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-net realizable value 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, 2023:
