(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.” As of September 30, 2023, GIP, through GIP III Stetson I, L.P. and GIP III Stetson II, L.P, owns 46.1% of the outstanding limited liability company interests in ENLC. In addition to GIP’s equity interests in ENLC, GIP III Stetson I, L.P. maintains control over the Managing Member through its ownership of all of the equity interests in the Managing Member. 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, 2023, our midstream energy asset network includes approximately 13,600 miles of pipelines, 26 natural gas processing plants with approximately 6.0 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.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
a.Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, are unaudited, and do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. 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, 2022 filed with the Commission on February 15, 2023. 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.

c.Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
During the first quarter of 2020, the non-controlling interest holder in one of our non-wholly owned subsidiaries exercised its option to require us to purchase its remaining interest. At the time of the exercise, we and the interest holder did not agree on the value of the interest and a lawsuit was filed by the interest holder. As part of a settlement effected with the interest holder in January 2023, we settled the redemption of the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest for $10.5 million.
d.Property and Equipment
In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, we evaluate long-lived assets of identifiable business activities for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, or triggering events, indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Triggering events include, but are not limited to, significant changes in the use of the asset group, current operating results that are significantly less than forecasted results, and negative industry or economic trends, including changes in commodity prices, significant adverse changes in legal or regulatory factors, or an expectation that it is more likely than not that an asset group will be sold before the end of its useful life. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the undiscounted sum of the future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management’s best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions. When the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment is recognized equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which is based on inputs that are not observable in the market, and thus represent Level 3 inputs.
During the third quarter of 2023, we identified changes in our outlook for future cash flows and the anticipated use of certain ORV crude assets in our Louisiana segment, which warranted an interim impairment test. We determined that the carrying amounts of these assets exceeded their fair values, based on market inputs and certain assumptions, and recorded an impairment expense of $20.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
(3) Acquisition
Central Oklahoma Acquisition
On December 19, 2022, we completed the Central Oklahoma Acquisition. The acquired assets include approximately 900 miles of lean and rich gas gathering pipeline and two processing plants with 280 MMcf/d of total processing capacity. We completed this acquisition to increase the scale and efficiency of our Central Oklahoma assets.

(b) Transactions with GIP
GIP Repurchase Agreement. On February 15, 2022, we entered into an agreement with GIP 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 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, less broker commissions, which are not paid with respect to the GIP units. 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.

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, 2023, we had $774.1 million of deferred tax assets and $856.9 million of deferred tax liabilities for net deferred tax liabilities of $82.8 million. As of December 31, 2022, we had $714.1 million of deferred tax assets and $756.8 million of deferred tax liabilities for net deferred tax liabilities of $42.7 million.
We provide a valuation allowance, if necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets, if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized. As of September 30, 2023, we did not record a valuation allowance and management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of the deferred tax assets.
Excise Tax on Common Unit Repurchases
In August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law, which, among other things, imposed a 1.0% excise tax on net common unit repurchases made after December 31, 2022. As a result, we accrued $0.5 million and $1.2 million of excise tax in connection with our net common unit repurchases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, which was recorded as an adjustment to the cost basis of common units repurchased in “Members’ equity” and “Other current liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023.

(8) Certain Provisions of the ENLK Partnership Agreement
a.Series B Preferred Units
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 54,439,539 and 54,168,359 Series B Preferred Units issued and outstanding, respectively.
Redemption
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 represented 101% of the preferred units’ par value. In connection with the Series B Preferred Unit redemption, we agreed with the holders of the Series B Preferred Units to pay cash in lieu of making a quarterly distribution in-kind of additional Series B Preferred Units (the “PIK Distribution”) through the distribution declared for the fourth quarter of 2022.
Distributions
Income is allocated to the Series B Preferred Units in an amount equal to the quarterly distribution with respect to the period earned. A summary of the distribution activity relating to the Series B Preferred Units during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is provided below: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1)In December 2021 and January 2022, we paid $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of accrued distributions related to the fourth quarter of 2021 on redeemed Series B Preferred Units. The remaining distribution of $17.3 million related to the fourth quarter of 2021 was paid on February 11, 2022.
(2)In January 2022, we paid $0.3 million of accrued distributions related to the first quarter of 2022 on redeemed Series B Preferred Units. The remaining distribution of $17.2 million related to the first quarter of 2022 was paid on May 13, 2022.
ENLK’s Eleventh Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership
On September 8, 2023, in connection with ENLK’s qualification of the Series B Preferred Units to be eligible to be deposited through the Depository Trust Company, we amended and restated the limited partnership agreement of ENLK to, among other things, (i) reflect the cancellation of all outstanding ENLC Class C Common Units, which were non-economic equity interests previously held by the holders of the Series B Preferred Units and permitted such holders to participate in any vote of the holders of ENLC common units, (ii) provide for the termination of any rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Units to PIK Distributions with respect to, and following, the earlier to occur of (x) any quarter in which the holders of the Series B Preferred Units give notice to the General Partner of its election to terminate such PIK Distribution right and (y) the quarter ending June 30, 2024, and (iii) in connection with such termination of PIK Distributions, increase the cash distribution per Series B Preferred Unit from $0.28125 to $0.31875, in addition to the continued payment of the Series B Excess Cash Payment Amount (as defined in ENLK’s limited partnership agreement).

Taxable Income
For tax purposes, holders of Series B Preferred Units are allocated items of gross income from ENLK in respect of each Series B Preferred Unit until the cumulative amount of gross income so allocated equals the cumulative amount of distributions made in respect of such Series B Preferred Unit, but not in excess of such Series B Preferred Unit’s pro rata share of the net income of ENLK for the allocation year (the “Allocation Cap”). As of September 30, 2023, due to the application of the Allocation Cap, the cumulative amount of distributions made in respect of each Series B Preferred Unit exceeded the cumulative amount of gross income allocated to each Series B Preferred Unit by $6.52 per Series B Preferred Unit (the “Catch-Up Taxable Income Allocation”). As a result, holders of Series B Preferred Units will ultimately be allocated taxable income during future periods equal to the Catch-Up Taxable Income Allocation plus the amount of distributions received in respect of Series B Preferred Units, if ENLK generates positive net income.
a.Series C Preferred Units
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 376,500 and 381,000 Series C Preferred Units issued and outstanding, respectively.
Repurchase
In February 2023, we repurchased 4,500 Series C Preferred Units for total consideration of $3.9 million. The repurchase price represented 87% of the preferred units’ par value.
Distributions
Income is allocated to the Series C Preferred Units in an amount equal to the earned distribution for the respective reporting period. A summary of the distribution activity relating to the Series C Preferred Units during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is provided below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

a.Common Unit Repurchase Program
In December 2022, the board of directors of the Managing Member (the “Board”) reauthorized our common unit repurchase program for 2023 and set the amount available for repurchases of outstanding common units during 2023 at up to $200.0 million, including repurchases of common units held by GIP. 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.

(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 September 30, |

c.Performance Units
We grant 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: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(12) Derivatives
Interest Rate Swaps
In January 2023, we entered into a $400.0 million interest rate swap to manage the interest rate risk associated with our floating-rate, SOFR-based borrowings. Under this arrangement, we pay a fixed interest rate of 3.8565% in exchange for SOFR-based variable interest through February 2026. Assets or liabilities related to this interest rate swap contract are included in the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, and the change in fair value of this contract is recorded net as a gain or loss on designated cash flow hedges on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Monthly, upon settlement, we reclassify the gain or loss associated with the interest rate swap into interest expense from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge in accordance with ASC 815. There is no ineffectiveness related to this hedge.
The components of the unrealized gain on designated cash flow hedge related to changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps are as follows (in millions): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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. Additionally, we have entered into FCDTCs that allow for netting of futures contract receivables and payables in the event of default by either party. If our counterparties failed to perform under existing commodity swap and futures contracts, the maximum loss on our gross receivable position of $73.7 million as of September 30, 2023 would be reduced to $10.5 million due to the offsetting of gross fair value payables against gross fair value receivables as allowed by the ISDAs and the FCDTCs.

(13) Fair Value Measurements
Derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Level 2 |
| | September 30, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |
Interest rate swaps (1) | | $ | 8.1 | | | $ | — | |
Commodity derivatives (2) | | $ | 6.7 | | | $ | 25.7 | |
____________________________
(1)The fair values of the interest rate swaps are estimated based on the difference between expected cash flows calculated at the contracted interest rates and the expected cash flows using observable benchmarks for the variable interest rates.
(2)The fair values of commodity derivatives 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): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |
| Carrying Value | | Fair Value | | Carrying Value | | Fair Value |
Long-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt (1) | $ | 4,719.3 | | | $ | 4,331.2 | | | $ | 4,723.5 | | | $ | 4,385.9 | |
| | | | | | | |
Contingent consideration (2)(3) | $ | 6.7 | | | $ | 6.7 | | | $ | 5.5 | | | $ | 5.5 | |
____________________________
(1)The carrying value of long-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt, is reduced by debt issuance cost, net of accumulated amortization, of $33.5 million and $34.9 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The respective fair values do not factor in debt issuance costs.
(2)Consideration for the Amarillo Rattler Acquisition included 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.
(3)Consideration for the Central Oklahoma Acquisition included a contingent component, which is payable, if at all, between 2024 and 2027 based on fee revenue earned on certain contractually specified volumes for the annual periods beginning January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2026. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022 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.
One of our subsidiaries, EnLink Energy GP, LLC (“EnLink Energy”), was involved in industry-wide multi-district litigation arising out of Winter Storm Uri, pending in Harris County, Texas, in which multiple individual plaintiffs asserted 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. On January 26, 2023, the court dismissed the claims against the pipeline and other natural gas-related defendants in the multi-district litigation, including EnLink Energy. The court’s order was not appealed and the case is continuing without EnLink Energy and the other natural gas-related defendants. Subsequently, several suits were filed in February 2023 by individual plaintiffs (including one matter in which the plaintiffs seek to certify a class of Texas residents affected by Winter Storm Uri) and the alleged assignee of the claims of individual plaintiffs against approximately 90 natural gas producers, pipelines, marketers, sellers, and traders, including EnLink Gas. EnLink Gas believes it has substantial defenses to these claims and intends to vigorously dispute these allegations and 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.
(17) Subsequent Event
Divestitures. On November 1, 2023, we sold certain ORV crude assets in our Louisiana segment to a subsidiary of Ergon, Inc. in exchange for cash consideration of approximately $59.2 million, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments, and a contingent payment of an additional $0.5 million subject to the buyer’s pursuit of certain commercial opportunities within three years after the acquisition date. For a further description of our ORV assets, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Commission on February 15, 2023.
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, 2023, our midstream energy asset network includes approximately 13,600 miles of pipelines, 26 natural gas processing plants with approximately 6.0 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 geography and nature of activity. We have five reportable segments:
•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 Cana-Woodford, Arkoma-Woodford, northern Oklahoma Woodford, STACK, and adjacent areas;
•North Texas Segment. The North Texas segment includes our natural gas gathering, processing, fractionation, 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, as well as 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 adjusted gross margin was derived from fee-based contractual arrangements with minimal direct commodity price exposure for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
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, 2023 and 2022. No other customers represented greater than 10% of our consolidated revenues during the periods presented.

| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2023 | | 2022 | | 2023 | | 2022 |
| | | | | | | |
Dow Hydrocarbons and Resources LLC | 9.3 | % | | 14.5 | % | | 10.7 | % | | 14.4 | % |
Marathon Petroleum Corporation | 15.5 | % | | 11.8 | % | | 18.3 | % | | 14.4 | % |
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. 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 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 building a carbon transportation business in support of CCS activity 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 us with an advantage in building a carbon transportation business and becoming the transporter of choice in the region.
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. Low prices for these commodities could reduce the demand for our services and the volumes in our systems.
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. 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 remained volatile, with natural gas prices declining significantly since the beginning of 2023.
The table below presents selected average index prices for crude oil, NGL, and natural gas for the periods indicated.

The volatility in commodity prices may cause the adjusted gross margin and cash flows in certain areas of our business to vary from period to period. Our hedging strategies may not be sufficient to offset price volatility risk and, in any event, do not cover all of our throughput volumes.
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. This demand by investors for increased capital discipline from energy companies 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. However, in response to the rise of oil and natural gas prices during 2021 and 2022, capital investments by United States oil and natural gas producers have risen, 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 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, experienced reduced investment and declines in volumes produced. However, the rise in commodity prices during 2022 led to renewed producer interest in Oklahoma and North Texas which has continued into 2023. We expect the decline in natural gas prices since the beginning of the year will dampen producer activity in these areas during the remainder of 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 2022 and has continued into 2023, supported by regional industrial activity and export markets. Our activities and, in turn, our financial performance in the Louisiana segment are 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, 2022 filed with the Commission on February 15, 2023.
Inflation
Inflation in the United States increased significantly in 2022 and has continued to increase at a more modest pace through the third quarter of 2023. In addition, in order to reduce the inflation rate, the Federal Reserve increased its target for the federal funds rate (the benchmark for most interest rates) several times in 2022 and 2023. This trend may continue during the remainder of 2023.
To the extent that a rising cost environment impacts our results, there are typically offsetting benefits either inherent in our business or that result from other steps we take proactively to reduce the impact of inflation on our net operating results. These benefits include: (1) provisions included in our long-term fee-based revenue contracts that offset cost increases in the form of rate escalations based on positive changes in the U.S. Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index for Finished Goods, or other factors; (2) provisions in our contracts that enable us to pass through higher costs to customers; and (3) higher commodity prices, which generally enhance our results in the form of increased volumetric throughput and demand for our services. For these reasons, the increased cost environment, caused in part by inflation, has not had a material impact on our historical results of operations for the periods presented in this report. However, a significant or prolonged period of high inflation could adversely impact our results if costs were to increase at a rate greater than the increase in the revenues we receive.
Regulatory Developments
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 Item 1A—Risk Factors—“Environmental, Legal Compliance, and Regulatory Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Commission on February 15, 2023.
Other Recent Developments
Organic Growth
Tiger II Processing Plant. In April 2023, we began moving equipment and facilities associated with the non-operational Cowtown processing plant in North Texas to our Delaware Basin JV operations in the Permian. The relocation is expected to increase the processing capacity of our Permian Basin processing facilities by approximately 150 MMcf/d. We expect to complete the relocation in the second quarter of 2024.
GCF Operations. In January 2023, we began the process to restart the GCF assets and expect operations to begin in the first half of 2024. We will continue to make capital contributions during 2023 associated with the restart of these assets.
Equity
Common Unit Repurchase Program. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 2,253,012 outstanding common units in open market purchases, for an aggregate cost, including commissions, of $26.9 million, or an average of $11.93 per common unit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 7,690,821 outstanding common units in open market purchases, for an aggregate cost, including commissions, of $85.9 million, or an average of $11.16 per common unit.
GIP Repurchase Agreement. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 2,763,581 ENLC common units held by GIP for an aggregate cost of $27.5 million, or an average of $9.94 per common unit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 6,911,568 ENLC common units held by GIP for an aggregate cost of $75.3 million, or an average of $10.89 per common unit.
Additionally, on October 30, 2023, we repurchased 1,934,877 ENLC common units held by GIP at an aggregate cost of $23.0 million, or an average of $11.91 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, 2023. 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. As of September 30, 2023, $23.0 million is classified as “Other current liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets related to our obligation to repurchase our common units from GIP.
See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9” for more information regarding our common unit repurchases.
ENLK’s Eleventh Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership. On September 8, 2023, in connection with ENLK’s qualification of the Series B Preferred Units to be eligible to be deposited through the Depository Trust Company, we amended and restated the limited partnership agreement of ENLK to, among other things, (i) reflect the cancellation of all
outstanding ENLC Class C Common Units, which were non-economic equity interests previously held by the holders of the Series B Preferred Units and permitted such holders to participate in any vote of the holders of ENLC common units, (ii) provide for the termination of any rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Units to PIK Distributions with respect to, and following, the earlier to occur of (x) any quarter in which the holders of the Series B Preferred Units give notice to the General Partner of its election to terminate such PIK Distribution right and (y) the quarter ending June 30, 2024, and (iii) in connection with such termination of PIK Distributions, increase the cash distribution per Series B Preferred Unit from $0.28125 to $0.31875, in addition to the continued payment of the Series B Excess Cash Payment Amount (as defined in ENLK’s limited partnership agreement).
Repurchase of Series C Preferred Units. In February 2023, we repurchased 4,500 Series C Preferred Units for total consideration of $3.9 million. The repurchase price represented 87% of the preferred units’ par value.
See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 8” for more information regarding the Series B Preferred Units and the Series C Preferred Units.
Debt
Senior Unsecured Notes Issuance. On April 3, 2023, we completed the sale of an additional $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the “Additional Notes”) at 99% of their face value. The Additional Notes were offered as an additional issuance of our existing 6.50% senior unsecured notes due 2030 that we issued on August 31, 2022 in an aggregate principal amount of $700.0 million. Net proceeds of approximately $294.5 million were used to repay a portion of the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Additional Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by ENLK.
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.
The following table reconciles total revenues and gross margin to adjusted gross margin (in millions): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |

Adjusted gross margin | $ | 501.5 | | | $ | 532.4 | | | $ | 1,508.2 | | | $ | 1,461.1 | |
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 derivatives; 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.
The following table reconciles net income to adjusted EBITDA (in millions): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2023 | | 2022 | | 2023 | | 2022 |

____________________________
(1)Represents cost incurred to execute discrete, project-based strategic initiatives aimed at realigning available processing capacity from our Oklahoma and North Texas segments to the Permian segment. These costs are not part of our ongoing operations.
(2)Includes transaction costs, non-cash expense related to changes in the fair value of contingent consideration, accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations, and non-cash rent, which relates to lease incentives pro-rated over the lease term.
(3)Non-controlling interest share of adjusted EBITDA from joint ventures includes NGP’s 49.9% share of adjusted EBITDA from the Delaware Basin JV and Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s 50% share of adjusted EBITDA from the Ascension JV.
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); (cash distributions earned by the Series B Preferred Units and the Series C Preferred Units); (payment to redeem mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interest); (costs associated with the relocation of processing facilities, excluding costs that were contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities); 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. 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.
The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow after distributions (in millions): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2022
Revenues and Cost of Sales, Exclusive of Operating Expenses and Depreciation and Amortization.
Our consolidated and segment revenues and cost of sales, exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization, are from natural gas, NGL, crude oil, and condensate product sales and purchases, midstream services that we perform on those commodities, and derivative activity. Fluctuations in our consolidated and segment revenues and cost of sales, exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization, reflect in large part changes in commodity prices and volumes. Our adjusted gross margin is not directly affected by the commodity price environment because the commodities that we buy and sell are generally based on the same pricing indices. Both consolidated and segment product sales revenues and cost of sales, exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization, will fluctuate with market prices; however, the adjusted gross margin related to those sales and purchases will not necessarily have a corresponding increase or decrease. Additionally, fluctuations in these measures from changes in commodity prices may be offset by gains or losses from derivative instruments that we use to manage our exposure to commodity price risk associated with such sales and purchases.
Total revenues and cost of sales, exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization, decreased $917.3 million and $886.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to the following:
•Product sales revenues and cost of sales, exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization, decreased $896.3 million and $886.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to lower commodity prices in 2023.
•Revenues from midstream services increased $21.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to higher processing volumes in 2023. Of these higher volumes in 2023, $5.2 million was related to contributions from acquisitions completed during 2022.
•Derivative losses increased $42.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to $1.4 million of decreased realized gains and $41.1 million of increased unrealized losses.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to a $5.4 million increase in compressor rentals, a $1.3 million increase in labor and benefits costs, a $1.2 million increase in materials and supplies expense, a $0.9 million increase in pipeline integrity compliance costs, a $0.8 million increase in construction fees and services, and a $0.7 million increase in consulting fees and services. These increases were partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in utilities expense and a $2.4 million decrease in ad valorem taxes.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to a $6.5 million increase resulting from changes in estimated useful lives, a $3.7 million increase due to additional assets placed in service, and a $1.1 million increase related to the Central Oklahoma Acquisition in December 2022. These increases were partially offset by a $9.9 million decrease in depreciation related to assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives.
Impairments. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized an impairment expense of $20.7 million due to changes in our future cash flow outlook and the expected use of certain ORV crude assets in our Louisiana segment.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $30.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $34.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease of $4.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to a $5.5 million decrease in unit-based compensation and a $2.6 million decrease in consulting fees and services. The decrease was partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in losses related to an increase in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration associated with the Amarillo Rattler Acquisition and the Central Oklahoma Acquisition, in addition to a $1.4 million increase in labor and benefits.
Interest Expense, Net of Interest Income. Interest expense, net of interest income, was $67.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $60.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $7.5 million. Interest expense, net of interest income, consisted of the following (in millions): | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, |

Income (Loss) from Unconsolidated Affiliate Investments. Income from unconsolidated affiliate investments was $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to a loss of $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase in income of $2.7 million. The increase in income was primarily attributable to a $1.6 million increase in income related to the Matterhorn JV and a $1.1 million increase related to our GCF investment.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense was $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to an income tax expense of $15.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, a decrease in income tax expense of $4.6 million. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to the decrease in income between periods. 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 $36.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to net income of $35.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $0.5 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 $3.3 million increase in income attributable to the Series C Preferred Units and a $0.6 million increase attributable to Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s 50% share of the Ascension JV. These increases were partially offset by a $3.1 million decrease in income attributable to NGP’s 49.9% share of the Delaware Basin JV and a $0.3 million decrease attributable to the Series B Preferred Units.
Analysis of Operating Segments
We manage and report our activities primarily according to the geography and nature of activity. We have five reportable segments: Permian segment, Louisiana segment, Oklahoma segment, North Texas segment, and Corporate segment. We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on segment profit and adjusted gross margin. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to adjusted gross margin and segment profit is gross margin. We also believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses to evaluate segment results.
See below for our discussion of segment results for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022.
•Permian Segment.
◦Revenues and cost of sales, exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization, decreased $302.4 million and $299.0 million, respectively, resulting in a decrease in adjusted gross margin in the Permian segment of $3.4 million, which was primarily driven by:
•A $7.9 million decrease in adjusted gross margin associated with our Permian gas assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $0.1 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes from existing customers. Derivative activity associated with our Permian gas assets decreased adjusted gross margin by $8.0 million, which included $2.9 million from decreased realized losses and $10.9 million from increased unrealized losses.
•A $4.5 million increase in adjusted gross margin associated with our Permian crude assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $12.0 million, which was primarily due to higher commodity prices. Derivative activity associated with our Permian crude assets decreased adjusted gross margin by $7.5 million, which included $8.6 million from increased realized losses and $1.1 million from decreased unrealized losses.
◦Operating expenses in the Permian segment increased $5.3 million primarily due to a $3.9 million increase in compressor rentals, a $2.1 million increase in utilities expense, a $1.5 million increase in materials and supplies expense, and a $1.4 million increase in labor and benefits costs. These increases in operating expenses were principally due to an increase in operating activity. These increases were offset by a $2.2 million decrease in construction fees and services, a $1.3 million decrease in ad valorem taxes, and a $1.1 million decrease in sales and use tax.
◦Depreciation and amortization in the Permian segment increased $5.3 million primarily due to a $3.7 million increase resulting from additional assets placed in service and a $1.7 million increase related to the equipment transferred to the Phantom processing facility.
•Louisiana Segment.
◦Revenues and cost of sales, exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization, decreased $680.3 million and $667.8 million, respectively, resulting in a decrease in adjusted gross margin in the Louisiana segment of $12.5 million, resulting from:
•No change in adjusted gross margin associated with our Louisiana NGL transmission and fractionation assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $14.0 million, which was primarily due to fluctuations in market prices. Derivative activity associated with our Louisiana NGL transmission and fractionation assets decreased adjusted gross margin by $14.0 million, which included $5.1 million from decreased realized gains and $8.9 million from increased unrealized losses.
•A $9.2 million decrease in adjusted gross margin associated with our Louisiana gas assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, decreased $11.2 million, which was primarily due to lower commodity prices. Derivative activity associated with our Louisiana gas assets increased adjusted gross margin by $2.0 million, which included $3.1 million from decreased realized losses and $1.1 million from increased unrealized losses.
•A $3.3 million decrease in adjusted gross margin associated with our ORV crude assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, decreased $2.0 million, which was primarily due to lower compression fee revenue resulting from the sale of several compressor units in December 2022. Derivative activity associated with our ORV crude assets decreased adjusted gross margin by $1.3 million from increased realized losses.
◦Operating expenses in the Louisiana segment decreased $2.6 million primarily due to a $4.5 million decrease in utilities expense, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in construction fees and services.
◦Depreciation and amortization in the Louisiana segment decreased $3.4 million primarily due to a $5.8 million decrease resulting from assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives, partially offset by a $2.5 million increase in depreciation due to changes in estimated useful lives.
•Oklahoma Segment.
◦Revenues and cost of sales, exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization, decreased $155.0 million and $158.2 million, respectively, resulting in an increase in adjusted gross margin in the Oklahoma segment of $3.2 million, resulting from:
•A $2.1 million increase in adjusted gross margin associated with our Oklahoma gas assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $15.1 million, which was primarily due to additional volumes from the Central Oklahoma Acquisition in December 2022. Derivative activity associated with our Oklahoma gas assets decreased adjusted gross margin by $13.0 million, which included $0.6 million from increased realized gains and $13.6 million from increased unrealized losses.
•A $1.1 million increase in adjusted gross margin associated with our Oklahoma crude assets. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, increased $1.4 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes from existing customers.

◦Operating expenses in the Oklahoma segment increased $10.7 million primarily due to a $5.4 million increase in compressor rentals, a $3.1 million increase in ad valorem taxes, a $1.9 million increase in materials and supplies expense, a $1.8 million increase in labor and benefits costs, and a $1.3 million increase in utilities expense. These increases in operating expenses were principally due to an increase in operating activity from the Central Oklahoma Acquisition in December 2022. The increase was partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in construction fees and services and a $0.6 million decrease in compressor overhauls.
◦Depreciation and amortization in the Oklahoma segment increased $8.4 million primarily due to a $10.5 million increase resulting from changes in estimated useful lives and a $3.1 million increase related to the Central Oklahoma Acquisition in December 2022. These increases were partially offset by a $5.0 million decrease in depreciation related to the transfer of equipment to the Phantom processing facility.
•North Texas Segment.
◦Revenues and cost of sales, exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization, decreased $251.4 million and $255.1 million, respectively, resulting in an increase in adjusted gross margin in the North Texas segment of $3.7 million. Adjusted gross margin, excluding derivative activity, decreased $5.6 million, which was primarily due to lower market prices. Derivative activity associated with our North Texas segment increased adjusted gross margin by $9.3 million, which included $27.6 million from increased realized gains and $18.3 million from increased unrealized losses.
◦Operating expenses in the North Texas segment increased $9.1 million primarily due to a $2.9 million increase in materials and supplies expense, a $2.8 million increase in construction fees and services, a $1.4 million increase in labor and benefits costs, a $0.7 million increase in compressor rentals, a $0.7 million increase in utilities expense, a $0.6 million increase in pipeline integrity compliance costs, and a $0.6 million increase in compressor overhauls. These increases in operating expenses were principally due to an increase in operating activity from the Barnett Shale Acquisition in July 2022. These increases were partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in sales and use tax and a $0.7 million decrease in ad valorem taxes.
◦Depreciation and amortization in the North Texas segment decreased $3.4 million primarily due to a $9.1 million decrease resulting from assets reaching the end of their depreciable lives, which was partially offset by a $5.5 million increase in depreciation related to the Barnett Shale Acquisition in July 2022.
•Corporate Segment.
◦Revenues and cost of sales, exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization, each increased $1,165.3 million. The corporate segment includes offsetting eliminations related to intercompany revenues and cost of sales, exclusive of operating expenses and depreciation and amortization.
◦Depreciation and amortization in the Corporate segment increased $0.1 million due to additional assets placed in service.
Critical Accounting Policies
Information regarding our critical accounting policies is included in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Commission on February 15, 2023.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $862.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $825.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. 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, |
| 2023 | | 2022 |
Operating cash flows before working capital | $ | 841.9 | | | $ | 825.4 | |
Changes in working capital | 20.1 | | | 0.5 | |
Operating cash flows before changes in working capital increased $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The primary contributor to the increase in operating cash flows before working capital is as follows:
•Gross margin, excluding depreciation and amortization, non-cash commodity derivative activity, utility credits redeemed or earned, and unit-based compensation, increased $48.9 million. The increase in gross margin is due to a $102.6 million increase in adjusted gross margin, excluding non-cash commodity derivative activity, which was partially offset by a $53.7 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, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022, see “Results of Operations.”
The increase in operating cash flows were partially offset by the following:
•Interest expense, net of interest income, excluding amortization of debt issue costs and net discounts, increased $33.0 million.
•General and administrative expenses, excluding unit-based compensation, increased $4.0 million.
The changes in working capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 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 $373.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $547.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our primary investing activities consisted of the following (in millions):

Capital Requirements
As of September 30, 2023, the following table summarizes our expected remaining capital requirements for 2023 (in millions):
| | | | | | | | |
Capital expenditures, net to ENLC (1) | | $ | 103 | |
Operating expenses associated with the relocation of processing facilities, net to ENLC (2)(3) | | 12 | |
Contributions to unconsolidated affiliate investments (4) | | 17 | |
Total | | $ | 132 | |
____________________________
(1)Excludes capital expenditures that are contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities.
(2)Represents cost incurred to execute discrete, project-based strategic initiatives aimed at realigning available processing capacity from our Oklahoma and North Texas segments to the Permian segment. These costs are not part of our ongoing operations. These costs exclude amounts that are contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities.
(3)Excludes a one-time $8.0 million contribution from an affiliate of NGP in May 2023 in connection with the Delaware Basin JV’s purchase of the Cowtown processing plant.
(4)Includes contributions made to our GCF investment and the Matterhorn JV.
Our primary remaining capital projects for 2023 include the relocation of the Cowtown processing plant, CCS-related initiatives, contributions to unconsolidated affiliate investments, including the restart of GCF, continued development of our existing systems through well connects, and other low-cost development projects. We expect to fund our remaining 2023 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, to make contributions to unconsolidated affiliate investments, 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.

____________________________
(1)The interest payable related to the Revolving Credit Facility and the AR Facility is not reflected in the 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. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6” for more information regarding the Revolving Credit Facility and the AR Facility.
(2)The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration for the Amarillo Rattler Acquisition and the Central Oklahoma Acquisition was calculated in accordance with the fair value guidance contained in ASC 820. There are a number of assumptions and estimates factored into these fair values and actual contingent consideration payments could differ from these estimated fair values. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 13” for additional information.
(3)Relates to the repurchase of ENLC common units held by GIP on October 30, 2023. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 9” for more information.
(4)Consists of pipeline capacity payments for firm transportation and deficiency agreements.
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.
Our contractual cash obligations for the remainder of 2023 are expected to be funded from cash flows generated from our operations.
Indebtedness
Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2023, there were $160.0 million in outstanding borrowings and $29.6 million in outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility.
AR Facility. As of September 30, 2023, the AR Facility had a borrowing base of $443.4 million and there were $292.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility. In connection with the AR Facility, certain subsidiaries of ENLC sold and contributed, and will continue to sell or contribute, their accounts receivable to the SPV to be held as collateral for borrowings under the AR Facility. The SPV’s assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of ENLC or any of its affiliates.
Senior Unsecured Notes. As of September 30, 2023, we had $4.3 billion in aggregate principal amount of outstanding unsecured senior notes maturing from 2024 to 2047, of which $97.9 million matures on April 1, 2024 and is classified as “Current maturities of long-term debt” on the consolidated balance sheet.
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, 2023, 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
Inflation in the United States increased significantly in 2022 and has continued to increase at a more modest pace through the third quarter of 2023. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments Affecting Industry Conditions and Our Business—Inflation” for more information.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements that became effective during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and have determined that none had a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Commission on February 15, 2023, may affect our performance and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or review any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
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, 2023 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. For more information regarding our main types of contractual arrangements, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Commission on February 15, 2023.
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.
Commodity derivatives 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, crude, and condensate.
The following table sets forth information related to derivative instruments outstanding at September 30, 2023.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Period | | Underlying | | Notional Volume (Net Position) | | Reference Price | | Price Range | | Net Fair Value Asset/(Liability) (In Millions) |

October 2023 - October 2023 | | Natural Gas | | (0.1) Bbtu | | NGPL TEXOK Gas Daily | | $2.29 - $2.29/MMbtu | | — | |
November 2023 - September 2024 | | Crude & Condensate | | (0.6) MMbbls | | NYMEX WTI | | $69.77 - $94.00/Bbl | | (2.2) | |
January 2024 - December 2025 | | Crude & Condensate | | (7.2) MMbbls | | WTI-Houston and Midland basis differential | | $0.70 - $0.90/Bbl | | 1.6 |
Total fair value of commodity derivatives | | | | | | | | $ | 6.7 | |
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, 2023, our outstanding commodity derivative instruments had a net fair value asset of $6.7 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 $23.7 million in the net fair value of these contracts as of September 30, 2023.
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, 2023, we had $160.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $292.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the AR Facility.
In January 2023, we entered into a $400.0 million interest rate swap to reduce the variability of cash outflows associated with interest payments related to our long-term debt with variable interest rates. This swap has been designated as a cash flow hedge. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 12” for more information on our outstanding derivatives.
A 1.0% increase or decrease in interest rates would change our annualized interest expense by approximately $1.6 million and $2.9 million for the Revolving Credit Facility and the AR Facility, respectively, based on our outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2023. This change in interest expense would be partially offset by a $4.0 million change in the opposite direction due to our open interest rate swap hedge.
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, 2023, the estimated fair value of the senior unsecured notes was approximately $3,879.2 million, based on the market prices of ENLK’s and our publicly traded debt at September 30, 2023. 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 $215.3 million decrease in fair value of the senior unsecured notes at September 30, 2023. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6” for more information on our outstanding indebtedness.
Prior to December 15, 2022, distributions on ENLK’s Series C Preferred Units were based on a fixed interest rate. Beginning with the interest period which commenced on December 15, 2022, distributions on ENLK’s Series C Preferred Units were based on a floating rate tied to LIBOR plus a spread of 4.11%. As a result of the floating rate, the amount paid by ENLK for distributions became more sensitive to changes in interest rates. Beginning with the interest period which commenced on September 15, 2023, distributions are based on the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR (“Term SOFR”), plus a Term SOFR spread adjustment of 0.26161%, plus a spread of 4.11%. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 8” for more information regarding distributions with respect to the Series C Preferred Units.
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.
