Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
(1) General

In this report, the terms “Company” or “Registrant,” as well as the terms “ENLC,” “our,” “we,” “us,” or like terms, are sometimes used as abbreviated references to EnLink Midstream, LLC itself or EnLink Midstream, LLC together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including ENLK and its consolidated subsidiaries. References in this report to “EnLink Midstream Partners, LP,” the “Partnership,” “ENLK,” or like terms refer to EnLink Midstream Partners, LP itself or EnLink Midstream Partners, LP together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.

Please read the notes to the consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the Definitions page set forth in this report prior to Part I—Financial Information.

a.Organization of Business

ENLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed in October 2013. The Company’s common units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ENLC.” ENLC owns all of ENLK’s common units and also owns all of the membership interests of the General Partner. The General Partner manages ENLK’s operations and activities.

b.Nature of Business

We primarily focus on providing midstream energy services, including:

gathering, compressing, treating, processing, transporting, storing, and selling natural gas;
fractionating, transporting, storing, and selling NGLs; and
gathering, transporting, stabilizing, storing, trans-loading, and selling crude oil and condensate, in addition to brine disposal services.

As of September 30, 2022, our midstream energy asset network includes approximately 12,500 miles of pipelines, 25 natural gas processing plants with approximately 5.9 Bcf/d of processing capacity, seven fractionators with approximately 320,000 Bbls/d of fractionation capacity, barge and rail terminals, product storage facilities, purchasing and marketing capabilities, brine disposal wells, a crude oil trucking fleet, and equity investments in certain joint ventures. Our operations are based in the United States, and our sales are derived primarily from domestic customers.

Our natural gas business includes connecting the wells of producers in our market areas to our gathering systems. Our gathering systems consist of networks of pipelines that collect natural gas from points at or near producing wells and transport it to our processing plants or to larger pipelines for further transmission. We operate processing plants that remove NGLs from the natural gas stream that is transported to the processing plants by our own gathering systems or by third-party pipelines. In conjunction with our gathering and processing business, we may purchase natural gas and NGLs from producers and other supply sources and sell that natural gas or NGLs to utilities, industrial consumers, marketers, and pipelines. Our transmission pipelines receive natural gas from our gathering systems and from third-party gathering and transmission systems and deliver natural gas to industrial end-users, utilities, and other pipelines.

Our fractionators separate NGLs into separate purity products, including ethane, propane, iso-butane, normal butane, and natural gasoline. Our fractionators receive NGLs primarily through our transmission lines that transport NGLs from East Texas and from our South Louisiana processing plants. Our fractionators also have the capability to receive NGLs by truck or rail terminals. We also have agreements pursuant to which third parties transport NGLs from our West Texas and Central Oklahoma operations to our NGL transmission lines that then transport the NGLs to our fractionators. In addition, we have NGL storage capacity to provide storage for customers.

Our crude oil and condensate business includes the gathering and transmission of crude oil and condensate via pipelines, barges, rail, and trucks, in addition to condensate stabilization and brine disposal. We also purchase crude oil and condensate from producers and other supply sources and sell that crude oil and condensate through our terminal facilities to various markets.

Across our businesses, we primarily earn our fees through various fee-based contractual arrangements, which include stated fee-only contract arrangements or arrangements with fee-based components where we purchase and resell commodities in connection with providing the related service and earn a net margin as our fee. We earn our net margin under our purchase and resell contract arrangements primarily as a result of stated service-related fees that are deducted from the price of the commodities purchased.

All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Commission on February 16, 2022. Certain reclassifications were made to the financial statements for the prior period to conform to current period presentation. The effect of these reclassifications had no impact on previously reported members’ equity or net income. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

b.Revenue Recognition

The following table summarizes the contractually committed fees (in millions) that we expect to recognize in our consolidated statements of operations, in either revenue or reductions to cost of sales, from MVC and firm transportation contractual provisions. Under these agreements, our customers or suppliers agree to transport or process a minimum volume of commodities on our system over an agreed period. If a customer or supplier fails to meet the minimum volume specified in such agreement, the customer or supplier is obligated to pay a contractually determined fee based upon the shortfall between actual volumes and the contractually stated volumes. All amounts in the table below are determined using the contractually-stated MVC or firm transportation volumes specified for each period multiplied by the relevant deficiency or reservation fee. Actual amounts could differ due to the timing of revenue recognition or reductions to cost of sales resulting from make-up right provisions included in our agreements, as well as due to nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers. We record revenue under MVC and firm transportation contracts during periods of shortfall when it is known that the customer cannot, or will not, make up the deficiency. These fees do not represent the shortfall amounts we expect to collect under our MVC and firm transportation contracts, as we generally do not expect volume shortfalls to equal the full amount of the contractual MVCs and firm transportation contracts during these periods.

(3) Acquisition

On July 1, 2022, we acquired all of the equity interest in the gathering and processing assets of Crestwood Equity Partners LP located in the Barnett Shale, for a cash purchase price of $275.0 million plus working capital of $14.5 million. These assets include approximately 400 miles of lean and rich gas gathering pipeline and three processing plants with 425 MMcf/d of total processing capacity. We completed this acquisition to increase the scale of our North Texas assets and realize efficiencies by redeploying redundant assets to our other segments, including the Permian segment in the near-term and the CCS business in the future.

The following table presents the fair value of the identified assets received and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in millions):

____________________________
(1)The purchase price allocation was based on preliminary estimates and assumptions, which are subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date), as we finalize the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon the closing of the acquisition.

We incurred $0.4 million of transaction costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. These costs are incurred in general and administrative costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $20.6 million of revenue and $12.6 million of net income related to the assets acquired.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded cost of sales of $5.6 million and $25.3 million, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded cost of sales of $4.9 million and $11.7 million, respectively, related to our purchase of residue gas and NGLs from the Cedar Cove JV subsequent to processing at our Central Oklahoma processing facilities. Additionally, we had accounts payable balances related to transactions with the Cedar Cove JV of $4.3 million and $1.6 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

(b)    Transactions with GIP

General and Administrative Expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded general and administrative expenses of $0.2 million related to personnel secondment services provided by GIP. We did not record any expenses related to transactions with GIP for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

GIP Repurchase Agreement. On February 15, 2022, we and GIP entered into an agreement pursuant to which we are repurchasing, on a quarterly basis, a pro rata portion of the ENLC common units held by GIP, based upon the number of common units purchased by us during the applicable quarter from public unitholders under our common unit repurchase program. The number of ENLC common units held by GIP that we repurchase in any quarter is calculated such that GIP’s then-existing economic ownership percentage of our outstanding common units is maintained after our repurchases of common units from public unitholders are taken into account, and the per unit price we pay to GIP is the average per unit price paid by us for the common units repurchased from public unitholders. See “Note 9—Members’ Equity” for additional information on the activity relating to the GIP repurchase agreement.

Management believes the foregoing transactions with related parties were executed on terms that are fair and reasonable to us. The amounts related to related party transactions are specified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Revolving Credit Facility

On June 3, 2022, we amended and restated our prior revolving credit facility by entering into the Revolving Credit Facility. As a result, we recognized a $0.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt. The Revolving Credit Facility amended our prior revolving credit facility by, among other things, (i) decreasing the lenders’ commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1.75 billion to $1.40 billion, (ii) modifying the leverage ratio financial covenant calculation to net from the funded indebtedness numerator the lesser of (a) consolidated unrestricted cash of ENLC and (b) $50.0 million, (iii) removing the consolidated interest coverage ratio financial covenant, (iv) extending the maturity date from January 25, 2024 to June 3, 2027, (v) replacing the ability of ENLC to elect that borrowings accrue interest at LIBOR, plus a margin, with the ability of ENLC to elect that borrowings accrue interest at a forward-looking term rate based on SOFR (“Term SOFR”), plus a margin and a Term SOFR spread adjustment, (vi) increasing the size of a permitted receivables financing to $500.0 million from $350.0 million, and (vii) permitting, but not requiring, the establishment by ENLC (subject to approval by Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and lenders holding a majority of the revolving commitments) of specified key performance indicators with respect to environmental, social, and/or governance targets that may result in a pricing increase or decrease under the Revolving Credit Facility of up to 0.05% per annum for the margin on borrowings and letters of credit and 0.02% per annum for the commitment fees.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at ENLC’s options at Term SOFR plus a Term SOFR spread adjustment of 0.10% per annum (“Adjusted Term SOFR”) and an applicable margin (ranging from 1.125% to 2.00%) or the Base Rate (the highest of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.0% or the administrative agent's prime rate) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.125% to 1.00%). The applicable margins vary depending on ENLC’s debt rating. Upon breach by ENLC of certain covenants governing the Revolving Credit Facility, amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, if any, may become due and payable immediately.

There were $70.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $46.6 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2022.

At September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with and expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility for at least the next twelve months.

AR Facility

On October 21, 2020, EnLink Midstream Funding, LLC, a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity that is an indirect subsidiary of ENLC (the “SPV”) entered into the AR Facility. We are the primary beneficiary of the SPV, and we consolidate its assets and liabilities, which consisted primarily of billed and unbilled accounts receivable of $882.4 million as of September 30, 2022.

On August 1, 2022, we amended certain terms of the AR Facility to, among other things, increase the commitments thereunder from $350.0 million to $500.0 million and extend the scheduled termination date from September 24, 2024 to August 1, 2025. As of September 30, 2022, the AR Facility had a borrowing base of $500.0 million and there were $500.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility.

At September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with and expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants of the AR Facility for at least the next twelve months.

Issuances and Repurchases of Senior Unsecured Notes

On August 31, 2022, ENLC completed the sale of $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of ENLC’s 6.50% senior unsecured notes due September 1, 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) at 100% of their face value. Interest on the 2030 Notes will be payable on March 1 and September 1 of each year beginning on March 1, 2023, until their maturity on September 1, 2030. The 2030 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by ENLK. We used the net proceeds of approximately $693.0 million and available cash to settle ENLK’s debt tender offer to repurchase $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its senior unsecured notes. The repurchased notes consisted of $404.4 million of outstanding aggregate principal amount of ENLK’s 4.40% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and $295.6 million of outstanding aggregate principal amount of ENLK’s 4.15% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”). Total consideration for the repurchased 2024 Notes and the 2025 Notes was $715.8 million, including $21.0 million of debt tender premium.

Activity related to the repurchases of ENLK’s senior unsecured notes from the settled debt tender offer consisted of the following (in millions):
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Debt repurchased$700.0 
Aggregate payments(715.8)
Net discount on repurchased debt(1.0)

Additionally, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased a portion of the outstanding 2024 Notes and 2025 Notes in open market transactions. We did not repurchase any senior unsecured notes in open market transactions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

(2)Oklahoma House Bill 2960 resulted in a change in the corporate income tax rate from 6% to 4%. Accordingly, we recorded deferred tax expense in the amount of $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 due to a remeasurement of deferred tax assets.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The deferred tax liabilities, net of deferred tax assets, are included in “Deferred tax liability, net” in the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2022, we had $153.6 million of deferred tax liabilities, net of $553.2 million of deferred tax assets, which included a $112.6 million valuation allowance. As of December 31, 2021, we had $137.5 million of deferred tax liabilities, net of $481.6 million of deferred tax assets, which included a $151.6 million valuation allowance.

A valuation allowance is established to reduce deferred tax assets if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized. We have established a valuation allowance primarily related to federal and state tax operating loss carryforwards for which we do not believe a tax benefit is more likely than not to be realized. As of September 30, 2022, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance.

(9) Members’ Equity

a.Common Unit Repurchase Program

In November 2020, the board of directors of the Managing Member (the “Board”) authorized a common unit repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of outstanding ENLC common units and reauthorized such program in April 2021. The Board reauthorized ENLC’s common unit repurchase program and reset the amount available for repurchases of outstanding common units at up to $100.0 million effective January 1, 2022. In July 2022, the Board increased the amount available for repurchases to $200.0 million. Repurchases under the common unit repurchase program will be made, in accordance with applicable securities laws, from time to time in open market or private transactions and may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The repurchases will depend on market conditions and may be discontinued at any time.

On February 15, 2022, we and GIP entered into an agreement pursuant to which we agreed to repurchase, on a quarterly basis, a pro rata portion of the ENLC common units held by GIP, based upon the number of common units purchased by us during the preceding quarter from public unitholders under our common unit repurchase program. See “Note 5—Related Party Transactions” for additional information on our ENLC common unit repurchase agreement with GIP.

The following table summarizes our ENLC common unit repurchase activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in millions, except for unit amounts):

(2)For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the per unit price we paid to GIP was the average per unit price paid by us for publicly held ENLC common units repurchased during the third quarter and from February 15, 2022 (the date on which the Repurchase Agreement was signed) through June 30, 2022, respectively, less broker commissions, which were not paid with respect to GIP units.

Additionally, on October 31, 2022, we repurchased 3,538,101 ENLC common units held by GIP at an aggregate cost of $33.5 million, or an average of $9.47 per common unit. These units represent GIP’s pro rata share of the aggregate number of common units repurchased by us during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The per unit price we paid to GIP was the same as the average per unit price paid by us for publicly held ENLC common units repurchased during the same period, less broker commissions, which were not paid with respect to the GIP units.

(10) Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliates

On May 16, 2022, we formed a joint venture with WhiteWater Midstream, LLC, Devon Energy Corporation, and MPLX LP (the “Matterhorn JV”) to construct a pipeline designed to transport up to 2.5 Bcf/d of natural gas through approximately 490 miles of 42-inch pipeline from the Waha Hub in West Texas to Katy, Texas (the “Matterhorn Express Pipeline”).

As of September 30, 2022, our unconsolidated investments consisted of a 38.75% ownership in GCF, a 30% ownership in the Cedar Cove JV, and a 15% ownership in the Matterhorn JV.

(11) Employee Incentive Plans

a.Long-Term Incentive Plans

We account for unit-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, which requires that compensation related to all unit-based awards be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Unit-based compensation cost is valued at fair value at the date of grant, and that grant date fair value is recognized as expense over each award’s requisite service period with a corresponding increase to equity or liability based on the terms of each award and the appropriate accounting treatment under ASC 718.

Amounts recognized on the consolidated financial statements with respect to these plans are as follows (in millions):
Three Months Ended
September 30,
Nine Months Ended

Total unit-based compensation expense$11.4 $6.4 $23.7 $19.3 
Amount of related income tax benefit recognized in net income (1)$2.7 $1.5 $5.6 $4.5 
____________________________
(1)For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the amount of related income tax benefit recognized in net income excluded $1.4 million of income tax benefit and $0.6 million of income tax expense, respectively, related to book-to-tax differences recorded upon the vesting of restricted units. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the amount of related income tax benefit recognized in net income excluded $0.2 million and $3.1 million of income tax expense, respectively, related to book-to-tax differences recorded upon the vesting of restricted units.

b.ENLC Restricted Incentive Units

ENLC restricted incentive units were valued at their fair value at the date of grant, which is equal to the market value of ENLC common units on such date. A summary of the restricted incentive unit activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is provided below:
Nine Months Ended

____________________________
(1)Restricted incentive units typically vest at the end of three years. In March 2022, ENLC granted 193,935 restricted incentive units with a fair value of $1.7 million. These restricted incentives units vested immediately and are included in the restricted incentive units granted and vested line items.
(2)Vested units included 709,189 ENLC common units withheld for payroll taxes paid on behalf of employees.

As of September 30, 2022, there were $20.5 million of unrecognized compensation costs that related to non-vested ENLC restricted incentive units. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

c.ENLC Performance Units

ENLC grants performance awards under the 2014 Plan. The performance award agreements provide that the vesting of performance units (i.e., performance-based restricted incentive units) granted thereunder is dependent on the achievement of certain performance goals over the applicable performance period. At the end of the vesting period, recipients receive distribution equivalents, if any, with respect to the number of performance units vested. The vesting of such units ranges from zero to 200% of the units granted depending on the extent to which the related performance goals are achieved over the relevant performance period.

The following table presents a summary of the performance units:

On all transactions where we are exposed to counterparty risk, we analyze the counterparty’s financial condition prior to entering into an agreement, establish limits, and monitor the appropriateness of these limits on an ongoing basis. We primarily deal with financial institutions when entering into financial derivatives on commodities. We have entered into Master ISDAs that allow for netting of swap contract receivables and payables in the event of default by either party. If our counterparties failed to perform under existing commodity swap contracts, the maximum loss on our gross receivable position of $76.9 million as of September 30, 2022 would be reduced to $30.3 million due to the offsetting of gross fair value payables against gross fair value receivables as allowed by the ISDAs.

(1)    The fair values of commodity swaps represent the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current arms-length transaction adjusted for our credit risk and/or the counterparty credit risk as required under ASC 820.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of our financial instruments has been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value; thus, the estimates provided below are not necessarily indicative of the amount we could realize upon the sale or refinancing of such financial instruments (in millions):

(1)The carrying value of long-term debt is reduced by debt issuance cost, net of accumulated amortization, of $35.8 million and $27.8 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The respective fair values do not factor in debt issuance costs.
(2)Consideration for the Amarillo Rattler Acquisition included a $10.0 million installment payable, which was paid on April 30, 2022, and a contingent component capped at $15.0 million and payable, if at all, between 2024 and 2026 based on Diamondback E&P LLC’s drilling activity above historical levels. Estimated fair values were calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis that utilized Level 3 inputs.

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

The fair values of all senior unsecured notes as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were based on Level 2 inputs from third-party market quotations.

(16) Commitments and Contingencies

In February 2021, the areas in which we operate experienced a severe winter storm, with extreme cold, ice, and snow occurring over an unprecedented period of approximately 10 days (“Winter Storm Uri”). As a result of Winter Storm Uri, we have encountered customer billing disputes related to the delivery of gas during the storm, including one that resulted in litigation. The litigation is between one of our subsidiaries, EnLink Gas Marketing, LP (“EnLink Gas”), and Koch Energy Services, LLC (“Koch”) in the 162nd District Court in Dallas County, Texas. The dispute centers on whether EnLink Gas was excused from delivering gas or performing under certain delivery or purchase obligations during Winter Storm Uri, given our declaration of force majeure during the storm. Koch has invoiced us approximately $53.9 million (after subtracting amounts owed to EnLink Gas) and does not recognize the declaration of force majeure. We believe the declaration of force majeure was valid and appropriate and we intend to vigorously defend against Koch’s claims.

Another of our subsidiaries, EnLink Energy GP, LLC, is also involved in litigation arising out of Winter Storm Uri. This matter is a multi-district litigation currently pending in Harris County, Texas, in which multiple individual plaintiffs assert personal injury and property damage claims arising out of Winter Storm Uri against an aggregate of over 350 power generators, transmission/distribution utility, retail electric provider, and natural gas defendants across over 150 filed cases. We believe the claims against our subsidiary lack merit and we intend to vigorously defend against such claims.

In addition, we are involved in various litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, any liabilities that may result from these claims would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. We may also be involved from time to time in the future in various proceedings in the normal course of business, including litigation on disputes related to contracts, property rights, property use or damage (including nuisance claims), personal injury, or the value of pipeline easements or other rights obtained through the exercise of eminent domain or common carrier rights.

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

Please read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. In addition, please refer to the Definitions page set forth in this report prior to Part I—Financial Information.

In this report, the terms “Company” or “Registrant,” as well as the terms “ENLC,” “our,” “we,” “us,” or like terms, are sometimes used as abbreviated references to EnLink Midstream, LLC itself or EnLink Midstream, LLC together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including ENLK and its consolidated subsidiaries. References in this report to “EnLink Midstream Partners, LP,” the “Partnership,” “ENLK,” or like terms refer to EnLink Midstream Partners, LP itself or EnLink Midstream Partners, LP together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.

Overview

ENLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed in October 2013. ENLC’s assets consist of all of the outstanding common units of ENLK and all of the membership interests of the General Partner. All of our midstream energy assets are owned and operated by ENLK and its subsidiaries. We primarily focus on providing midstream energy services, including:

gathering, compressing, treating, processing, transporting, storing, and selling natural gas;
fractionating, transporting, storing, and selling NGLs; and
gathering, transporting, stabilizing, storing, trans-loading, and selling crude oil and condensate, in addition to brine disposal services.

As of September 30, 2022, our midstream energy asset network includes approximately 12,500 miles of pipelines, 25 natural gas processing plants with approximately 5.9 Bcf/d of processing capacity, seven fractionators with approximately 320,000 Bbls/d of fractionation capacity, barge and rail terminals, product storage facilities, purchasing and marketing capabilities, brine disposal wells, a crude oil trucking fleet, and equity investments in certain joint ventures. We manage and report our activities primarily according to the nature of activity and geography.

We evaluate the financial performance of our segments by including realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from commodity swaps activity in the Permian, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and North Texas segments. Identification of the majority of our operating segments is based principally upon geographic regions served:

Permian Segment. The Permian segment includes our natural gas gathering, processing, and transmission activities and our crude oil operations in the Midland and Delaware Basins in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico;

Louisiana Segment. The Louisiana segment includes our natural gas and NGL pipelines, natural gas processing plants, natural gas and NGL storage facilities, and fractionation facilities located in Louisiana and our crude oil operations in ORV;

Oklahoma Segment. The Oklahoma segment includes our natural gas gathering, processing, and transmission activities, and our crude oil operations in the Cana-Woodford, Arkoma-Woodford, northern Oklahoma Woodford, STACK, and CNOW shale areas;

North Texas Segment. The North Texas segment includes our natural gas gathering, processing, and transmission activities in North Texas; and

Corporate Segment. The Corporate segment includes our unconsolidated affiliate investments in the Cedar Cove JV in Oklahoma, GCF in South Texas, and the Matterhorn JV in West Texas and our corporate assets and expenses.

We manage our consolidated operations by focusing on adjusted gross margin because our business is generally to gather, process, transport, or market natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, and condensate using our assets for a fee. We earn our fees through various fee-based contractual arrangements, which include stated fee-only contract arrangements or arrangements with fee-based components where we purchase and resell commodities in connection with providing the related service and earn a net margin as our fee. We earn our net margin under our purchase and resell contract arrangements primarily as a result of stated service-related fees that are deducted from the price of the commodity purchase. While our transactions vary in form, the essential element of most of our transactions is the use of our assets to transport a product or provide a processed product to an end-user or marketer at the tailgate of the plant, pipeline, or barge, truck, or rail terminal. Adjusted gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is explained in greater detail under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Approximately 90% of our
36

Table of Contents
adjusted gross margin was derived from fee-based contractual arrangements with minimal direct commodity price exposure for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Our revenues and adjusted gross margins are generated from eight primary sources:

gathering and transporting natural gas, NGLs, and crude oil on the pipeline systems we own;
processing natural gas at our processing plants;
fractionating and marketing recovered NGLs;
providing compression services;
providing crude oil and condensate transportation and terminal services;
providing condensate stabilization services;
providing brine disposal services; and
providing natural gas, crude oil, and NGL storage.

The following customers individually represented greater than 10% of our consolidated revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The loss of these customers would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations because the revenues and adjusted gross margin received from transactions with these customers is material to us. No other customers represented greater than 10% of our consolidated revenues during the periods presented.

We gather, transport, or store gas owned by others under fee-only contract arrangements based either on the volume of gas gathered, transported, or stored or, for firm transportation arrangements, a stated monthly fee for a specified monthly quantity with an additional fee based on actual volumes. We also buy natural gas from producers or shippers at a market index less a fee-based deduction subtracted from the purchase price of the natural gas. We then gather or transport the natural gas and sell the natural gas at a market index, thereby earning a margin through the fee-based deduction. We attempt to execute substantially all purchases and sales concurrently, or we enter into a future delivery obligation, thereby establishing the basis for the fee we will receive for each natural gas transaction. We are also party to certain long-term gas sales commitments that we satisfy through supplies purchased under long-term gas purchase agreements. When we enter into those arrangements, our sales obligations generally match our purchase obligations. However, over time, the supplies that we have under contract may decline due to reduced drilling or other causes, and we may be required to satisfy the sales obligations by buying additional gas at prices that may exceed the prices received under the sales commitments. In our purchase/sale transactions, the resale price is generally based on the same index at which the gas was purchased.
 
We typically buy mixed NGLs from our suppliers to our gas processing plants at a fixed discount to market indices for the component NGLs with a deduction for our fractionation fee. We subsequently sell the fractionated NGL products based on the same index-based prices. To a lesser extent, we transport and fractionate or store NGLs owned by others for a fee based on the volume of NGLs transported and fractionated or stored. The operating results of our NGL fractionation business are largely dependent upon the volume of mixed NGLs fractionated and the level of fractionation fees charged. With our fractionation business, we also have the opportunity for product upgrades for each of the discrete NGL products. We realize higher adjusted gross margins from product upgrades during periods with higher NGL prices.
 
We gather or transport crude oil and condensate owned by others by rail, truck, pipeline, and barge facilities under fee-only contract arrangements based on volumes gathered or transported. We also buy crude oil and condensate on our own gathering systems, third-party systems, and trucked from producers at a market index less a stated transportation deduction. We then transport and resell the crude oil and condensate through a process of basis and fixed price trades. We execute substantially all purchases and sales concurrently, thereby establishing the net margin we will receive for each crude oil and condensate transaction.

We realize adjusted gross margins from our gathering and processing services primarily through different contractual arrangements: processing margin (“margin”) contracts, POL contracts, POP contracts, fixed-fee based contracts, or a combination of these contractual arrangements. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk” for a detailed description of these contractual arrangements. Under any of these gathering and processing arrangements, we may earn a fee for the services performed, or we may buy and resell the gas and/or NGLs as part of the processing arrangement and realize a net margin as our fee. Under margin contract arrangements, our adjusted gross
37

Table of Contents
margins are higher during periods of high NGL prices relative to natural gas prices. Adjusted gross margin results under POL contracts are impacted only by the value of the liquids produced with margins higher during periods of higher liquids prices. Adjusted gross margin results under POP contracts are impacted only by the value of the natural gas and liquids produced with margins higher during periods of higher natural gas and liquids prices. Under fixed-fee based contracts, our adjusted gross margins are driven by throughput volume.
 
Operating expenses are costs directly associated with the operations of a particular asset. Among the most significant of these costs are those associated with direct labor and supervision, property insurance, property taxes, repair and maintenance expenses, contract services, and utilities. These costs are normally fairly stable across broad volume ranges and therefore do not normally increase or decrease significantly in the short term with increases or decreases in the volume of gas, liquids, crude oil, and condensate moved through or by our assets.

CCS Business

We are currently developing an integrated offering to bring CCS services to businesses along the Mississippi River corridor in Louisiana, one of the highest CO2 emitting regions in the United States. We believe our existing asset footprint, including our extensive network of natural gas pipelines in Louisiana, our operating expertise and our customer relationships, provide EnLink an advantage in building a CCS business.

Recent Developments Affecting Industry Conditions and Our Business

Current Market Environment

The midstream energy business environment and our business are affected by the level of production of natural gas and oil in the areas in which we operate and the various factors that affect this production, including commodity prices, capital markets trends, competition, and regulatory changes. We believe these factors will continue to affect production and therefore the demand for midstream services and our business in the future. To the extent these factors vary from our underlying assumptions, our business and actual results could vary materially from market expectations and from the assumptions discussed in this section.

Production levels by our exploration and production customers are driven in large part by the level of oil and natural gas prices. New drilling activity is necessary to maintain or increase production levels as oil and natural gas wells experience production declines over time. New drilling activity generally moves in the same direction as crude oil and natural gas prices as those prices drive investment returns and cash flow available for reinvestment by exploration and production companies. Accordingly, our operations are affected by the level of crude, natural gas, and NGL prices, the relationship among these prices, and related activity levels from our customers.

There has been, and we believe there will continue to be, volatility in commodity prices and in the relationships among NGL, crude oil, and natural gas prices. Commodity markets have now recovered from the reduction in global demand and low market prices experienced in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, oil and natural gas prices continue to remain volatile. Oil and natural gas prices rose during 2021 and rose especially rapidly in the first half of 2022 due to various factors, including a rebound in demand from economic activity after COVID-19 shutdowns, supply issues, and geopolitical events, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Since that time, both oil and natural gas prices have moderated from their peaks earlier in the year, although as of the date of this report, the market price for both oil and natural gas are at higher levels than either has traded in recent years.

Capital markets and the demands of public investors also affect producer behavior, production levels, and our business. Over the last several years, public investors have exerted pressure on oil and natural gas producers to increase capital discipline and focus on higher investment returns even if it means lower growth. In addition, the ability of companies in the oil and gas industry to access the capital markets on favorable terms has been negatively impacted during this same period. This demand by investors for increased capital discipline from energy companies, as well as the difficulties in accessing capital markets, led to more modest capital investment by producers, curtailed drilling and production activity, and, accordingly, slower growth for us and other midstream companies during the past few years. This trend was amplified in 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced demand for commodities. However, in response to the rise of oil and natural gas prices during 2021 and in 2022 to date, capital investments by United States oil and natural gas producers have begun to rise, although global capital investments by oil and natural gas producers remain below historical levels and producers continue to remain cautious.

Producers generally focus their drilling activity on certain producing basins depending on commodity price fundamentals and favorable drilling economics. In the last few years, many producers have increasingly focused their activities in the Permian Basin, because of the availability of higher investment returns. Currently, a large percentage of all drilling rigs operating in the
38

Table of Contents
United States are operating in the Permian Basin. We continue to experience a robust increase in volumes in our Permian segment as our operations in that basin are in a favorable position relative to producer activity. As a result of this concentration of drilling activity in the Permian Basin, other basins, including those in which we operate in Oklahoma and North Texas, have experienced reduced investment and declines in volumes produced. However, the rise in commodity prices during 2022 has led to renewed producer interest in both Oklahoma and North Texas and we expect activity to increase in both areas for the remainder of 2022 and during 2023.

Our Louisiana segment, while subject to commodity price trends, is less dependent on gathering and processing activities and more affected by industrial demand for the natural gas and NGLs that we supply. Industrial demand along the Gulf Coast region has remained strong throughout 2021 and through the first three quarters of 2022, supported by regional industrial activity and export markets. Our activities and, in turn, our financial performance in the Louisiana segment is highly dependent on the availability of natural gas and NGLs produced by our upstream gathering and processing business and by other market participants. To date, the supply of natural gas and NGLs has remained at levels sufficient for us to supply our customers, and maintaining such supply is a key business focus.

For additional discussion regarding these factors, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Business and Industry Risks” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Commission on February 16, 2022.

Regulatory Developments

On January 20, 2021, the Biden Administration came into office and immediately issued a number of executive orders related to climate change and the production of oil and gas that could affect our operations and those of our customers, particularly those who may operate on public lands. While none of these initiatives to date have materially affected our operations or those of our customers, the Biden Administration could seek, in the future, to put into place executive orders, policy and regulatory reviews, or seek to have Congress pass legislation that could adversely affect the production of oil and natural gas, and our operations and those of our customers.

Only a small percentage of our operations are derived from customers operating on public land, mainly in the Delaware Basin. Our operations in the Delaware Basin are expected to represent only approximately 6% of our total segment profit, net to EnLink, during 2022. In addition, we have a robust program to monitor and prevent methane emissions in our operations and we maintain a comprehensive environmental program that is embedded in our operations. However, our activities that take place on public lands require that we and our producer customers obtain leases, permits, and other approvals from the federal government. While the future rules and rulemaking initiatives under the Biden Administration remain uncertain, the regulations that might result from such initiatives, could lead to increased costs for us or our customers, difficulties in obtaining leases, permits, and other approvals for us and our customers, reduced utilization of our gathering, processing, and pipeline systems or reduced rates under renegotiated transportation or storage agreements in affected regions.

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRA") into law. The enhancements to the 45Q carbon sequestration tax credits provided by the IRA should expand and support the development of our CCS business, while the other provisions are not expected to have a material impact to our business.

Any regulatory changes could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, including our ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders. For more information, see our risk factors under “Environmental, Legal Compliance, and Regulatory Risk” in Section 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Commission on February 16, 2022.

Other Recent Developments

Organic Growth and Acquisition

Acquisition of Barnett Shale Assets. On July 1, 2022, we acquired all of the equity interest in the gathering and processing assets of Crestwood Equity Partners LP located in the Barnett Shale, for a cash purchase price of $275.0 million plus working capital of $14.5 million. These assets include approximately 400 miles of lean and rich gas gathering pipeline and three processing plants with 425 MMcf/d of total processing capacity. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 3” for more information regarding this acquisition.

Matterhorn Express Pipeline Joint Venture. On May 16, 2022, we entered into an agreement with WhiteWater Midstream, LLC, Devon Energy Corporation, and MPLX LP to construct a pipeline designed to transport up to 2.5 Bcf/d of natural gas through approximately 490 miles of 42-inch pipeline from Waha Hub in West Texas to Katy, Texas. Supply for the Matterhorn JV will be sourced from multiple upstream connections in the Permian Basin, including direct connections to processing facilities in the Midland Basin through an approximately 75-mile lateral, as well as a direct connection to the 3.2 Bcf/d Agua
39

Blanca Pipeline. The Matterhorn Express Pipeline is expected to be in service in the third quarter of 2024, pending the receipt of customary regulatory and other approvals.

Phantom Processing Plant. In November 2021, we began moving equipment and facilities associated with the Thunderbird processing plant in Central Oklahoma to the Midland Basin. We completed the relocation of the Phantom processing plant in October 2022, which increased our Permian Basin processing capacity by 235 MMcf/d.

CCS Business

ExxonMobil Agreement. In October 2022, we entered into a transportation services agreement with a subsidiary of ExxonMobil in connection with the development of a CCS project in the Mississippi River corridor in southeastern Louisiana. Under this agreement, we will deliver CO2 from the Mississippi River corridor to ExxonMobil’s storage location in Vermilion Parish. The reserved capacity available under this agreement is up to 10 million metric tonnes per year, with initial reserved capacity of 3.2 million metric tonnes per year, beginning in early 2025.

BKV Agreement. In June 2022, we entered into an agreement with BKV to develop a CCS project in the Barnett Shale. Under this agreement, we will separate CO2 from lean gas in our North Texas gathering systems and from rich gas delivered to our natural gas processing plant in Bridgeport, Texas. The CO2 waste stream will then be captured, compressed, transported, and sequestered by BKV, beginning in late 2023.

Debt and Equity

Amended AR Facility Agreement. On August 1, 2022, we amended certain terms of the AR Facility to, among other things, increase the commitments thereunder from $350.0 million to $500.0 million and extend the scheduled termination date from September 24, 2024 to August 1, 2025. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6” for more information.

Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement. On June 3, 2022, we amended and restated our prior revolving credit facility by entering into the Revolving Credit Facility. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6” for more information.

Senior Unsecured Notes Issuance and Repurchases. On August 31, 2022, ENLC completed the sale of $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of ENLC’s 6.50% senior unsecured notes due September 1, 2030. We used the net proceeds from the sale to settle ENLK’s debt tender offer to repurchase $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its senior unsecured notes, consisting of the 2024 Notes and 2025 Notes. Additionally, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased a portion of the outstanding 2024 Notes and 2025 Notes in open market transactions. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6” for more information regarding the activity related to our senior unsecured notes.

Common Unit Repurchase Program. Effective January 1, 2022, the Board reauthorized our common unit repurchase program and reset the amount available for repurchases of outstanding common units at up to $100.0 million. In July 2022, the Board increased the amount available for repurchase to $200.0 million. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9” for more information regarding our common unit repurchase program.

GIP Repurchase Agreement. On February 15, 2022, we and GIP entered into an agreement pursuant to which we are repurchasing, on a quarterly basis, a pro rata portion of the ENLC common units held by GIP, based upon the number of common units purchased by us during the applicable quarter from public unitholders under our common unit repurchase program. The number of ENLC common units held by GIP that we repurchase in any quarter is calculated such that GIP’s then-existing economic ownership percentage of our outstanding common units is maintained after our repurchases of common units from public unitholders are taken into account, and the per unit price we pay to GIP is the average per unit price paid by us for the common units repurchased from public unitholders. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9” for more information regarding repurchases of ENLC common units held by GIP.

Redemption of Series B Preferred Units. In January 2022, we redeemed 3,333,334 Series B Preferred Units for total consideration of $50.5 million plus accrued distributions. In addition, upon such redemption, a corresponding number of ENLC Class C Common Units were automatically cancelled. The redemption price represents 101% of the preferred units’ par value. In connection with the Series B Preferred Unit redemption, we have agreed with the holders of the Series B Preferred Units that we will pay cash in lieu of making a quarterly PIK distribution through the distribution declared for the fourth quarter of 2022. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 8” for more information regarding distributions with respect to the Series B Preferred Units.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To assist management in assessing our business, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted gross margin; adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”); and free cash flow after distributions.

Adjusted Gross Margin

We define adjusted gross margin as revenues less cost of sales, exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization. We present adjusted gross margin by segment in “Results of Operations.” We disclose adjusted gross margin in addition to gross margin as defined by GAAP because it is the primary performance measure used by our management to evaluate consolidated operations. We believe adjusted gross margin is an important measure because, in general, our business is to gather, process, transport, or market natural gas, NGLs, condensate, and crude oil for a fee or to purchase and resell natural gas, NGLs, condensate, and crude oil for a margin. Operating expense is a separate measure used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of field operations. Direct labor and supervision, property insurance, property taxes, repair and maintenance, utilities, and contract services comprise the most significant portion of our operating expenses. We exclude all operating expenses and depreciation and amortization from adjusted gross margin because these expenses are largely independent of the volumes we transport or process and fluctuate depending on the activities performed during a specific period. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to adjusted gross margin is gross margin. Adjusted gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, gross margin as determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted gross margin has important limitations because it excludes all operating expenses and depreciation and amortization that affect gross margin. Our adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other entities may not calculate these amounts in the same manner.

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus (less) interest expense, net of interest income; depreciation and amortization; impairments; (income) loss from unconsolidated affiliate investments; distributions from unconsolidated affiliate investments; (gain) loss on disposition of assets; (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt; unit-based compensation; income tax expense (benefit); unrealized (gain) loss on commodity swaps; costs associated with the relocation of processing facilities; accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations; transaction costs; non-cash expense related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration; (non-cash rent); and (non-controlling interest share of adjusted EBITDA from joint ventures). Adjusted EBITDA is one of the primary metrics used in our short-term incentive program for compensating employees. In addition, adjusted EBITDA 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:

the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis;
the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness, and make cash distributions to our unitholders;
our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing methods or capital structure; and
the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

The GAAP measures most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA are net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), operating income (loss), net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

Adjusted EBITDA does not include interest expense, net of interest income; income tax expense (benefit); and depreciation and amortization. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and our ability to generate cash available for distribution. Because we have capital assets, depreciation and amortization are also necessary elements of our costs. Therefore, any measures that exclude these elements have material limitations. To compensate for these limitations, we believe that it is important to consider net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP, as well as adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate our overall performance.

Free Cash Flow After Distributions

We define free cash flow after distributions as adjusted EBITDA, net to ENLC, plus (less) (growth and maintenance capital expenditures, excluding capital expenditures that were contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities); (interest expense, net of interest income); (distributions declared on common units); (accrued cash distributions on Series B Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units paid or expected to be paid); (costs associated with the relocation of processing facilities); non-cash interest (income)/expense; (contributions to investment in unconsolidated affiliates); (payments to terminate interest rate swaps); (current income taxes); and proceeds from the sale of equipment and land.

Free cash flow after distributions is the principal cash flow metric used by the Company. Free cash flow after distributions is one of the primary metrics used in our short-term incentive program for compensating employees. It is also used as a supplemental liquidity measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts, and others, to assess the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, pay back our indebtedness, make cash distributions, and make capital expenditures.

Growth capital expenditures generally include capital expenditures made for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our asset base, operating income, or operating capacity over the long-term. Examples of growth capital expenditures include the acquisition of assets and the construction or development of additional pipeline, storage, well connections, gathering, or processing assets, in each case, to the extent such capital expenditures are expected to expand our asset base, operating capacity, or our operating income.

Maintenance capital expenditures include capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and to extend their useful lives. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures to refurbish and replace pipelines, gathering assets, well connections, compression assets, and processing assets up to their original operating capacity, to maintain pipeline and equipment reliability, integrity, and safety, and to address environmental laws and regulations.

The GAAP measure most directly comparable to free cash flow after distributions is net cash provided by operating activities. Free cash flow after distributions should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), operating income (loss), net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow after distributions has important limitations because it excludes some items that affect net income (loss), operating income (loss), and net cash provided by operating activities. Free cash flow after distributions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate this non-GAAP metric in the same manner. To compensate for these limitations, we believe that it is important to consider net cash provided by operating activities determined under GAAP, as well as free cash flow after distributions, to evaluate our overall liquidity.

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

Gross Margin. Gross margin was $233.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $126.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $106.1 million. The primary contributors to the increase were as follows:

Permian Segment. Gross margin was $74.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $33.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $40.9 million primarily due to the following:

Adjusted gross margin in the Permian segment increased $54.7 million, which was primarily driven by:

A $50.9 million increase to adjusted gross margin associated with our Permian gas assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $50.8 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes from increased producer activity and higher commodity prices. Derivative activity associated with our Permian gas assets increased margin by $0.1 million, which included $7.7 million from decreased realized losses and $7.6 million from decreased unrealized gains.
A $3.8 million increase to adjusted gross margin associated with our Permian crude assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $1.7 million, which was primarily due to higher commodity prices. Derivative activity associated with our Permian crude assets increased margin by $2.1 million, which included $2.3 million from increased realized gains and $0.2 million from increased unrealized losses.

Operating expenses in the Permian segment increased $12.4 million due to higher construction fees and services, labor and benefits costs, materials and supplies expense, utility costs, and compressor rentals due to an increase in operating activity and the transfer of equipment to the Phantom processing facilities in 2022.

Depreciation and amortization in the Permian segment increased $1.4 million primarily due to new assets placed into service.

Louisiana Segment. Gross margin was $57.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $29.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $28.2 million primarily due to the following:

Adjusted gross margin in the Louisiana segment increased $40.4 million, resulting from:

An $15.1 million increase to adjusted gross margin associated with our Louisiana NGL transmission and fractionation assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, decreased $7.3 million, which was primarily due to fluctuations in market prices. Derivative activity associated with our Louisiana NGL transmission and fractionation assets increased margin by $22.4 million, which included $18.0 million from increased realized gains and $4.4 million from increased unrealized gains.
A $25.8 million increase to adjusted gross margin associated with our Louisiana gas assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $18.0 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes from existing customers and higher commodity prices. Derivative activity associated with our Louisiana gas assets increased margin by $7.8 million, which included $0.6 million from increased realized losses and $8.4 million from decreased unrealized losses.
A $0.5 million decrease to adjusted gross margin associated with our ORV crude assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, decreased $1.3 million, which was primarily due to fluctuation in market prices. Derivative activity associated with our ORV crude assets increased margin by $0.8 million from increased realized gains.

Operating expenses in the Louisiana segment increased $7.1 million primarily due to increases in materials and supplies expense, utility costs, construction fees and services, vehicle expenses, and ad valorem taxes due to an increase in operating activity.

Depreciation and amortization in the Louisiana segment increased $5.1 million primarily due to changes in estimated useful lives of certain non-core assets.

Oklahoma Segment. Gross margin was $53.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $34.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $18.2 million primarily due to the following:

Adjusted gross margin in the Oklahoma segment increased $21.1 million, resulting from:

A $21.7 million increase to adjusted gross margin associated with our Oklahoma gas assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $2.8 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes from existing customers. Derivative activity associated with our Oklahoma gas assets increased margin by $18.9 million, which included $7.1 million from increased realized gains and $11.8 million from increased unrealized gains.
A $0.6 million decrease to adjusted gross margin associated with our Oklahoma crude assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, decreased $0.9 million, which was primarily due to fluctuation in market prices. Derivative activity associated with our Oklahoma crude assets increased margin by $0.3 million from increased realized gains.

Operating expenses in the Oklahoma segment increased $3.7 million primarily due to increases in materials and supplies expense and construction fees and services due to an increase in operating activity. Operating expenses also increased due to the transfer of equipment related to the Phantom processing facility.

Depreciation and amortization in the Oklahoma segment decreased $0.8 million due to the transfer of equipment to the Phantom and Warhorse processing facilities, which was partially offset by additional assets placed into service.

North Texas Segment. Gross margin was $49.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $31.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $17.8 million primarily due to the following:

Adjusted gross margin in the North Texas segment increased $29.4 million. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $27.7 million, which was primarily due to the acquisition of Barnett Shale gathering and processing assets on July 1, 2022 and higher volumes from existing customers. Derivative activity associated with our North Texas segment increased margin by $1.7 million, which included $0.9 million from increased realized losses and $2.6 million from increased unrealized gains.

Operating expenses in the North Texas segment increased $6.7 million primarily due to increases in materials and supplies expense and ad valorem taxes due to an increase in operating activity and the acquisition of Barnett Shale gathering and processing assets on July 1, 2022.

Depreciation and amortization in the North Texas segment increased $4.9 million primarily due to the acquisition of Barnett Shale gathering and processing assets on July 1, 2022.

Corporate Segment. Gross margin was negative $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to negative $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Corporate gross margin consists of depreciation and amortization of corporate assets.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $34.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $28.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $6.3 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in unit-based compensation and consulting fees and services. The increase was partially offset by a gain related to a decrease in the estimated fair value of the Amarillo Rattler Acquisition contingent consideration.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $60.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $60.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $0.3 million. Interest expense consisted of the following (in millions):

Loss from unconsolidated affiliate investments was $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a reduction in loss of $0.6 million. The reduction in loss was primarily attributable to a reduction in loss of $0.9 million from our GCF investment and was partially offset by an increase in loss of $0.3 million from the Matterhorn JV.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $15.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to an income tax expense of $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to the increase in income between periods. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 7” for additional information.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $35.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net income of $30.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $5.4 million. ENLC’s non-controlling interest is comprised of Series B Preferred Units, Series C Preferred Units, NGP’s 49.9% share of the Delaware Basin JV, and Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s 50% share of the Ascension JV. The increase in income was primarily due to a $6.8 million increase attributable to NGP’s 49.9% share of the Delaware Basin JV and was partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease attributable to Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s 50%

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Gross Margin. Gross margin was $600.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $336.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $263.8 million. The primary contributors to the increase were as follows:

Permian Segment. Gross margin was $185.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $52.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $133.5 million primarily due to the following:

Adjusted gross margin in the Permian segment increased $233.0 million, which was primarily driven by:

A $218.3 million increase to adjusted gross margin associated with our Permian gas assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $146.5 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes from increased producer activity and higher commodity prices. Derivative activity associated with our Permian gas assets increased margin by $71.8 million, which included $60.5 million from decreased realized losses and $11.3 million from increased unrealized gains.
A $14.7 million increase to adjusted gross margin associated with our Permian crude assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $16.0 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes from increased producer activity. Derivative activity associated with our Permian crude assets decreased margin by $1.3 million, which included $2.0 million from decreased realized gains and $0.7 million from increased unrealized gains.

Operating expenses in the Permian segment increased $92.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, our Permian operating expenses were reduced by $48.1 million due to electricity credits earned during Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 that were not available during the same period of 2022. Operating expenses also increased due to higher construction fees and services, labor and benefits costs, materials and supplies expense, compressor rentals, and ad valorem and sales and use taxes due to an increase in operating activity and the transfer of equipment to the Warhorse and Phantom processing facilities in 2022.

Depreciation and amortization in the Permian segment increased $7.1 million primarily due to new assets placed into service, including gathering and processing assets associated with the Amarillo Rattler Acquisition in April 2021.

Louisiana Segment. Gross margin was $161.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $106.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $55.5 million primarily due to the following:

Adjusted gross margin in the Louisiana segment increased $77.3 million, resulting from:

A $43.6 million increase to adjusted gross margin associated with our Louisiana NGL transmission and fractionation assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $1.6 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes from existing customers. Derivative activity associated with our Louisiana NGL transmission and fractionation assets increased margin by $42.0 million, which included $30.2 million from increased realized gains and $11.8 million from increased unrealized gains.
An $34.3 million increase to adjusted gross margin associated with our Louisiana gas assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $20.2 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes from existing customers. Derivative activity associated with our Louisiana gas assets increased margin by $14.1 million, which included $4.0 million from increased realized losses and $18.1 million from increased unrealized gains.
A $0.6 million decrease to adjusted gross margin associated with our ORV crude assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $0.5 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes from existing customers. Derivative activity associated with our ORV crude assets decreased margin by $1.1 million from decreased unrealized gains.

Table of Contents
Operating expenses in the Louisiana segment increased $14.0 million primarily due to increases in utility costs, construction fees and services, and compressor rentals due to an increase in operating activity. These increases were partially offset by decreases in consulting fees and services.

Depreciation and amortization in the Louisiana segment increased $7.8 million primarily due to changes in estimated useful lives of certain non-core assets.

Oklahoma Segment. Gross margin was $134.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $74.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $59.6 million primarily due to the following:

Adjusted gross margin in the Oklahoma segment increased $71.0 million, resulting from:

A $73.6 million increase to adjusted gross margin associated with our Oklahoma gas assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $53.6 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes from existing customers, higher commodity prices, and the negative effect in 2021 of weather disruptions from Winter Storm Uri. Derivative activity associated with our Oklahoma gas assets increased margin by $20.0 million, which included $2.5 million from increased realized losses and $22.5 million from increased unrealized gains.
A $2.6 million decrease to adjusted gross margin associated with our Oklahoma crude assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $0.6 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes from existing customers. Derivative activity associated with our Oklahoma crude assets decreased margin by $3.2 million, which included $0.7 million from increased realized losses and $2.5 million from decreased unrealized gains.

Operating expenses in the Oklahoma segment increased $10.3 million primarily due to increases in materials and supplies expense and construction fees and services due to an increase in operating activity. Operating expenses also increased due to the transfer of equipment to the Phantom processing facility.

Depreciation and amortization in the Oklahoma segment increased $1.1 million due to additional assets placed in service, partially offset by the transfer of equipment related to the Phantom and Warhorse processing facilities.

North Texas Segment. Gross margin was $122.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $108.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $13.3 million primarily due to the following:

Adjusted gross margin in the North Texas segment increased $27.7 million. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $21.0 million, which was primarily due to the acquisition of Barnett Shale gathering and processing assets on July 1, 2022. Derivative activity associated with our North Texas segment increased margin by $6.7 million, which included $3.8 million from increased realized losses and $10.5 million from increased unrealized gains.

Operating expenses in the North Texas segment increased $9.9 million primarily due to increases in materials and supplies expense, ad valorem taxes, and utility costs due to an increase in operating activity and the acquisition of Barnett Shale gathering and processing assets on July 1, 2022.

Depreciation and amortization in the North Texas segment increased $4.5 million primarily due to the acquisition of Barnett Shale gathering and processing assets on July 1, 2022, which was partially offset by assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.

Corporate Segment. Gross margin was negative $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to negative $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Corporate gross margin consists of depreciation and amortization of corporate assets.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $91.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $80.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $11.6 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in unit-based compensation, labor costs, and consulting fees and services. The increase was partially offset by a gain related to a decrease in the estimated fair value of the Amarillo Rattler Acquisition contingent consideration.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $171.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $180.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $9.1 million. Interest expense consisted of the following (in millions):

Loss from Unconsolidated Affiliate Investments. Loss from unconsolidated affiliate investments was $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $9.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a reduction in loss of $5.9 million. The reduction in loss was primarily attributable to a reduction in loss of $5.7 million from our GCF investment, as a result of the GCF assets being idled beginning in January 2021, and a reduction of loss of $0.5 million from the Cedar Cove JV. The reduction in loss was partially offset by an increase in loss of $0.3 million from the Matterhorn JV.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to an income tax expense of $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in income tax expense was primarily attributable to the increase in income between periods and was partially offset by the changes in the valuation allowance. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 7” for additional information.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $105.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net income of $86.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $18.5 million. ENLC’s non-controlling interest is comprised of Series B Preferred Units, Series C Preferred Units, NGP’s 49.9% share of the Delaware Basin JV, and Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s 50% share of the Ascension JV. The increase in income was primarily due to a $20.2 million increase attributable to NGP’s 49.9% share of the Delaware Basin JV and was partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease attributable to Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s 50% share of the Ascension JV and a $1.6 million decrease in income attributable to the Series B Preferred Units following the partial redemptions of the Series B Units in December 2021 and January 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $825.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $599.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Operating cash flows before working capital and changes in working capital for the comparative periods were as follows (in millions):
Nine Months Ended
September 30,
20222021
Operating cash flows before working capital$825.4 $559.5 
Changes in working capital 0.5 39.7 

Operating cash flows before changes in working capital increased $265.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The primary contributor to the increase in operating cash flows was as follows:

Gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization, non-cash commodity swap activity, utility credits redeemed or earned, and unit-based compensation, increased $273.7 million. The increase in gross margin is due to a $335.0 million increase in adjusted gross margin, excluding non-cash commodity swap activity, which was partially offset by a $61.3 million increase in operating expenses, excluding utility credits redeemed or earned and unit-based compensation. For more information regarding the changes in gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, see “Results of Operations.”

The changes in working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were primarily due to fluctuations in trade receivable and payable balances due to timing of collection and payments, changes in inventory balances attributable to normal operating fluctuations, and fluctuations in accrued revenue and accrued cost of sales.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $547.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $155.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Our primary investing activities consisted of the following (in millions):

Our primary remaining capital projects for 2022 include the relocation of the Phantom processing plant, which was completed in October 2022, CCS-related initiatives, contributions to unconsolidated affiliate investments, continued development of our existing systems through well connects, and other low-cost development projects. We expect to fund our remaining 2022 capital requirements from operating cash flows.

It is possible that not all of our planned projects will be commenced or completed. Our ability to pay distributions to our unitholders, to fund planned capital expenditures, and to make acquisitions will depend upon our future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the industry, financial, business, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2022.

The above table does not include any physical or financial contract purchase commitments for natural gas and NGLs due to the nature of both the price and volume components of such purchases, which vary on a daily or monthly basis. Additionally, we do not have contractual commitments for fixed price and/or fixed quantities of any material amount that is not already disclosed in the table above.

The interest payable related to the Revolving Credit Facility and the AR Facility are not reflected in the above table because such amounts depend on the outstanding balances and interest rates of the Revolving Credit Facility and the AR Facility, which vary from time to time.

Our contractual cash obligations for the remainder of 2022 are expected to be funded from cash flows generated from our operations.

Indebtedness

As of September 30, 2022, the AR Facility had a borrowing base of $500.0 million and there were $500.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility.

In addition, as of September 30, 2022, we have $4.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of outstanding unsecured senior notes maturing from 2024 to 2047. There were $70.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $46.6 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2022.

Guarantees. The amounts outstanding on our senior unsecured notes and the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed in full by our subsidiary ENLK, including 105% of any letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. ENLK’s guarantees of these amounts are full, irrevocable, unconditional, and absolute, and cover all payment obligations arising under the senior unsecured notes and the Revolving Credit Facility. Liabilities under the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of ENLK.

ENLC’s assets consist of all of the outstanding common units of ENLK and all of the membership interests of the General Partner. Other than these equity interests, all of our assets and operations are held by our non-guarantor operating subsidiaries. ENLK, directly and indirectly, owns all of these non-guarantor operating subsidiaries, which in some cases are joint ventures that are partially owned by a third party. As a result, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of ENLK are not materially different than the corresponding amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2022, ENLC records, on a stand-alone basis, transactions that do not occur at ENLK, which are primarily related to the taxation of ENLC and the elimination of intercompany borrowings.

See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6” for more information on our outstanding debt.

Inflation

The annual U.S. inflation rate has increased significantly in the first three quarters of 2022. The Federal Reserve has already increased its target for the federal funds rate (the benchmark for most interest rates) several times this year. It is widely expected that this trend will continue for the remainder of 2022. Inflation will increase the cost to acquire or replace property and equipment and the cost of labor and supplies. To the extent permitted by competition, regulation, and our existing agreements, we have and will continue to pass along increased costs to our customers in the form of higher fees. Additionally, certain of our revenue generating contracts contain clauses that increase our fees based on changes in inflation metrics.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We have reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements that became effective during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and have determined that none would have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our primary market risk is the risk related to changes in the prices of natural gas, NGLs, condensate, and crude oil. In addition, we are also exposed to the risk of changes in interest rates on floating rate debt.

Comprehensive financial reform legislation was signed into law by the President on July 21, 2010. The legislation calls for the CFTC to regulate certain markets for derivative products, including OTC derivatives. The CFTC has issued several relevant regulations, and other rulemakings are pending at the CFTC, the product of which would be rules that implement the mandates in the legislation to cause significant portions of derivatives markets to clear through clearinghouses. While some of these rules have been finalized, some have not, and, as a result, the final form and timing of the implementation of the regulatory regime affecting commodity derivatives remains uncertain.

The legislation and potential new regulations may also require counterparties to our derivative instruments to spin off or result in such counterparties spinning off some of their derivative activities to separate entities, which may not be as creditworthy as the current counterparties. The legislation and any new regulations could significantly increase the cost of derivative contracts, materially alter the terms of derivative contracts, reduce the availability of derivatives to protect against risks we encounter, reduce our ability to monetize or restructure our existing derivative contracts, and increase our exposure to less creditworthy counterparties. If we reduce our use of derivatives as a result of the legislation and regulations, our results of operations may become more volatile and our cash flows may be less predictable, which could adversely affect our ability to plan for and fund capital expenditures and to generate sufficient cash flow to pay quarterly distributions at current levels or at all. Our revenues could be adversely affected if a consequence of the legislation and regulations is to lower commodity prices. Any of these consequences could have a material, adverse effect on us, our financial condition, and our results of operations.

Commodity Price Risk

We are also subject to direct risks due to fluctuations in commodity prices. While approximately 90% of our adjusted gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was generated from arrangements with fee-based structures with minimal direct commodity price exposure, the remainder is subject to more direct commodity price exposure. Our exposure to these commodity price fluctuations is primarily in the gas processing component of our business. We currently earn adjusted gross margin under four main types of contractual arrangements (or a combination of these types of contractual arrangements) as summarized below.

1.Fee-based contracts. Under fee-based contracts, we earn our fees through (1) stated fixed-fee arrangements in which we are paid a fixed fee per unit of volume or (2) arrangements where we purchase and resell commodities in connection with providing the related service and earn a net margin through a fee-like deduction subtracted from the purchase price of the commodities.

2.Processing margin contracts. Under these contracts, we pay the producer for the full amount of inlet gas to the plant, and we make a margin based on the difference between the value of liquids recovered from the processed natural gas as compared to the value of the natural gas volumes lost and the cost of fuel used in processing. The shrink and fuel losses are referred to as plant thermal reduction, or PTR. Our margins from these contracts are high during periods of high liquids prices relative to natural gas prices and can be negative during periods of high natural gas prices relative to liquids prices. However, we mitigate our risk of processing natural gas when margins are negative primarily through our ability to bypass processing when it is not profitable for us or by contracts that revert to a minimum fee for processing if the natural gas must be processed to meet pipeline quality specifications. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, less than 1% of our adjusted gross margin was generated from processing margin contracts.

3.POL contracts. Under these contracts, we receive a fee in the form of a percentage of the liquids recovered, and the producer bears all the cost of the natural gas shrink. Therefore, our margins from these contracts are greater during periods of high liquids prices. Our margins from processing cannot become negative under POL contracts, but they do decline during periods of low liquids prices.

4.POP contracts. Under these contracts, we receive a fee in the form of a portion of the proceeds of the sale of natural gas and liquids. Therefore, our margins from these contracts are greater during periods of high natural gas and liquids prices. Our margins from processing cannot become negative under POP contracts, but they do decline during periods of low natural gas and liquids prices.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately 10% of our adjusted gross margin was generated from POL or POP contracts.

Our primary commodity risk management objective is to reduce volatility in our cash flows. We maintain a risk management committee, including members of senior management, which oversees all hedging activity. We enter into hedges for natural gas, crude and condensate, and NGLs using OTC derivative financial instruments with only certain well-capitalized counterparties which have been approved in accordance with our commodity risk management policy.
 
We have hedged our exposure to fluctuations in prices for natural gas, NGLs, and crude oil volumes produced for our account. We have tailored our hedges to generally match the product composition and the delivery points to those of our physical equity volumes. The hedges cover specific products based upon our expected equity composition.

We manage our exposure to changes in commodity prices by hedging the impact of market fluctuations. Commodity swaps are used both to manage and hedge price and location risk related to these market exposures and to manage margins on offsetting fixed-price purchase or sale commitments for physical quantities of NGLs, natural gas, and crude and condensate.

Another price risk we face is the risk of mismatching volumes of gas bought or sold on a monthly price versus volumes bought or sold on a daily price. We enter each month with a balanced book of natural gas bought and sold on the same basis. However, it is normal to experience fluctuations in the volumes of natural gas bought or sold under either basis, which leaves us with short or long positions that must be covered. We use financial swaps to mitigate the exposure at the time it is created to maintain a balanced position.
 
The use of financial instruments may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances when (1) sales volumes are less than expected requiring market purchases to meet commitments or (2) counterparties fail to purchase the contracted quantities of natural gas or otherwise fail to perform. To the extent that we engage in hedging activities, we may be prevented from realizing the benefits of favorable price changes in the physical market. However, we are similarly insulated against unfavorable changes in such prices.
 
As of September 30, 2022, outstanding natural gas swap agreements, NGL swap agreements, swing swap agreements, storage swap agreements, and other derivative instruments had a net fair value asset of $23.9 million. The aggregate effect of a hypothetical 10% change, increase or decrease, in gas, crude and condensate, and NGL prices would result in a change of approximately $15.0 million in the net fair value of these contracts as of September 30, 2022.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk on the Revolving Credit Facility and the AR Facility. Amounts drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility and the AR Facility bear interest at rates based on SOFR. At September 30, 2022, we had $70.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $500.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility. A 1.0% increase or decrease in interest rates would change our annualized interest expense by approximately $0.7 million and $5.0 million for the Revolving Credit Facility and AR Facility, respectively.

We are not exposed to changes in interest rates with respect to ENLK’s senior unsecured notes due in 2024, 2025, 2026, 2044, 2045, or 2047 or our senior unsecured notes due in 2028, 2029, and 2030 as these are fixed-rate obligations. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of the senior unsecured notes was approximately $3,502.5 million, based on the market prices of ENLK’s and our publicly traded debt at September 30, 2022. Market risk is estimated as the potential decrease in fair value of our long-term debt resulting from a hypothetical increase of 1.0% in interest rates. Such an increase in interest rates would result in an approximate $209.8 million decrease in fair value of the senior unsecured notes at September 30, 2022. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6” for more information on our outstanding indebtedness.

Beginning on December 15, 2022, distributions on ENLK's Series C Preferred Units will be based on a floating rate tied to LIBOR (or an alternative rate to be established) plus 4.11% rather than a fixed rate and, therefore, the amount paid by ENLK as a distribution will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a.Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management of the Managing Member is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for us. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Managing Member, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report (September 30, 2022), our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

b.Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
