ENABLE MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, LP
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization
 
Enable Midstream Partners, LP is a Delaware limited partnership whose assets and operations are organized into two reportable segments: (i) gathering and processing and (ii) transportation and storage. The gathering and processing segment primarily provides natural gas and crude oil gathering and natural gas processing services to our producer customers. The transportation and storage segment provides interstate and intrastate natural gas pipeline transportation and storage services primarily to our producer, power plant, LDC and industrial end-user customers. The Partnership’s natural gas gathering and processing assets are primarily located in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana and serve natural gas production in the Anadarko, Arkoma and Ark-La-Tex Basins. Crude oil gathering assets are located in Oklahoma and serve crude oil production in the SCOOP and STACK plays of the Anadarko Basin and in North Dakota and serve crude oil production in the Bakken Shale formation of the Williston Basin. The Partnership’s natural gas transportation and storage assets consist primarily of an interstate pipeline system extending from western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle to Louisiana, an interstate pipeline system extending from Louisiana to Illinois, an intrastate pipeline system in Oklahoma, and our investment in SESH, a pipeline extending from Louisiana to Alabama.
 
CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy each have 50% of the management interests in Enable GP. Enable GP is the general partner of the Partnership and has no other operating activities. Enable GP is governed by a board made up of two representatives designated by each of CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy, along with the Partnership’s Chief Executive Officer and three independent board members CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy mutually agreed to appoint. CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy also own a 40% and 60% interest, respectively, in the incentive distribution rights held by Enable GP.

As of June 30, 2019, CenterPoint Energy held approximately 53.8% or 233,856,623 of the Partnership’s common units, and OGE Energy held approximately 25.5% or 110,982,805 of the Partnership’s common units. Additionally, CenterPoint Energy holds 14,520,000 Series A Preferred Units. The limited partner interests of the Partnership have limited voting rights on matters affecting the business. As such, limited partners do not have rights to elect the Partnership’s general partner on an annual or continuing basis and may not remove Enable GP, its current general partner, without at least a 75% vote by all unitholders, including all units held by the Partnership’s limited partners, and Enable GP and its affiliates, voting together as a single class.
 
As of June 30, 2019, the Partnership owned a 50% interest in SESH. See Note 8 for further discussion of SESH. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Partnership held a 50% ownership in Atoka and consolidated Atoka in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as EOIT acted as the managing member of Atoka and had control over the operations of Atoka. In addition, beginning November 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, the Partnership owned a 60% interest in ESCP, which is consolidated in its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as EOCS acted as the managing member of ESCP and had control over the operations of ESCP.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of the Partnership have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and GAAP. Pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report.  

 The condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the respective periods. Amounts reported in the Partnership’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for a full-year period due to the effects of, among other things, (a) seasonal fluctuations in demand for energy and energy services, (b) changes in energy commodity prices, (c) timing of maintenance and other expenditures and (d) acquisitions and dispositions of businesses, assets and other interests.
 
For a description of the Partnership’s reportable segments, see Note 16.

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Depreciation Expense

The Partnership completed a depreciation study for the Gathering and Processing and Transportation and Storage segments. Effective January 1, 2019, the new depreciation rates have been applied prospectively as a change in accounting estimate. The new depreciation rates did not result in a material change in depreciation expense or results of operations.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not typically bear interest. The determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to make estimates and judgments regarding our customers’ ability to pay. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based upon specific identification and estimates of future uncollectable amounts. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our customers’ financial strength based on aging of accounts receivable, payment history, and review of other relevant information, including ratings agency credit ratings and alerts, publicly available reports and news releases, and bank and trade references. It is the policy of management to review the outstanding accounts receivable at least quarterly, giving consideration to credit losses, the aging of receivables, specific customer circumstances that may impact their ability to pay the amounts due and current and forecasted economic conditions over the assets contractual lives. Based on this review, management determined that a $3 million and $2 million allowance for doubtful accounts was required at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Inventory

Natural gas inventory is held, through the transportation and storage segment, to provide operational support for the intrastate pipeline deliveries and to manage leased intrastate storage capacity. Natural gas liquids inventory is held, through the gathering and processing segment, due to timing differences between the production of certain natural gas liquids and ultimate sale to third parties. Natural gas and natural gas liquids inventory is valued using moving average cost and is subsequently recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Partnership recorded write-downs to net realizable value related to natural gas and natural gas liquids inventory of $5 million and zero during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $6 million and $3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.


(2) New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses of financial assets held at a reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in order to record credit losses in a more timely manner. ASU 2016-13 also amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Partnership expects to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2020 and does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” This standard requires entities to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Table of Contents


Fair Value Measurement—Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which focuses on improving the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by U.S. GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted. The Partnership expects to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2020 and continues to evaluate the other impacts of the new standards on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract,” which aims to reduce complexity in the accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement. ASU No. 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Collaborative Arrangements

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, “Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606.” This standard resolves the diversity in practice concerning the manner in which entities account for transactions on the basis of their view of the economics of the collaborative arrangement. The amendments (1) clarify that certain transactions between collaborative participants should be accounted for as revenue under topic 606 when the collaborative participant is a customer in the context of the unit of account; (2) add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606; and (3) clarify that in a transaction that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction as revenue would be precluded if the collaborative participant counterparty was not a customer. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

Codification Improvements

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” which clarifies and improves areas of guidance related to recently issued standards on credit losses, hedging and recognition and measurement. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Partnership does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

(4) Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Partnership adopted ASU 2016-02, “Leases (ASC 842).” This standard requires, among other things, that lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a

15

Table of Contents

right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Partnership has applied the standard to only contracts that were not expired as of January 1, 2019.

The Partnership elected the optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate land easements that exist or expire before the Partnership's adoption of ASC 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under ASC 840. The Partnership elected the optional transition practical expedient to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and initial direct costs for any existing leases. Upon adoption, we increased our asset and liability balances on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets by approximately $35 million due to the required recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities for all lease obligations that were classified as operating leases. The Partnership did not recognize a material cumulative adjustment to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Partners’ Equity and we did not have any material changes in the timing of expense recognition or our accounting policies.

Our lease obligations are primarily comprised of rentals of field equipment and buildings, which are recorded as Operation and maintenance and General and administrative expenses in the Partnership’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other than the contractual terms for each lease obligation, the key inputs for our calculations of the initial right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities are the expected remaining life and applicable discount rate. Field equipment has an expected lease term of three to five years, with contractual base terms of one to three years followed by month-to-month renewals. Field equipment rental arrangements do not generally contain any significant variable lease payments. While certain arrangements may include lower standby rates, field equipment is generally anticipated to be in use for all of its expected lease term. Buildings have an expected lease term of seven to ten years, which is currently the same as the contractual base term. Building rental arrangements contain market-based renewal options of up to 15 years. Variable lease payments for buildings are generally comprised of costs for utilities, maintenance and building management services. There are no variable lease payments due under building rental arrangements until July 1, 2019, after which amounts will be due monthly. The Partnership is generally not aware of the implicit rate for either field equipment or building rental arrangements, so discount rates are based upon the expected term of each arrangement and the Partnership’s uncollateralized borrowing rate associated with the expected term at the time of lease inception. As of June 30, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term is four years and the weighted average discount rate is 5.55%.

As of June 30, 2019, we have right-of-use assets of $38 million recorded as Other Assets, $11 million of corresponding obligations recorded as Other Current Liabilities and $30 million of corresponding obligations recorded as Other Liabilities on the Partnership’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. All lease obligations outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were classified as operating leases, therefore all cash flows are reflected in Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Rental costs associated with field equipment and buildings were $5 million and $2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $12 million and $4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Under ASC 842, as of June 30, 2019, the Partnership has operating lease obligations expiring at various dates. The $16 million difference between undiscounted cash flows for operating leases and our $41 million of lease obligations is due to the impact of the applicable discount rate. Undiscounted cash flows for operating lease liabilities are as follows:

(5) Acquisition

Velocity Holdings, LLC Acquisition

On November 1, 2018, the Partnership acquired all of the equity interests in Velocity Holdings, LLC, now EOCS, which owns and operates a crude oil and condensate gathering system in the SCOOP and STACK plays of the Anadarko Basin, for approximately $444 million in cash, subject to certain customary working capital adjustments. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and was funded with borrowings under the commercial paper program. During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Partnership finalized the purchase price allocation as of November 1, 2018.

The Partnership recognized intangible assets related to customer relationships. The acquired intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated customer contract life of approximately 15 years. Goodwill recognized from the acquisition primarily relates to greater operating leverage in the Anadarko Basin and is allocated to the gathering and processing segment. Included within the acquisition was 60% of a 26-mile pipeline system joint venture with a third party which owns and operates a refinery connected to the EOCS system. This joint venture’s financials have been consolidated within the Partnership’s financial statements resulting in $28 million in non-controlling interest. The Partnership incurred approximately $6 million of acquisition costs associated with this transaction, which were included in General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. The Partnership determined not to include pro forma consolidated financial statements for the periods presented as the impact would not be material.

ATM Program

On May 12, 2017, the Partnership entered into an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement, pursuant to which the Partnership may issue and sell common units having an aggregate offering price of up to $200 million, by sales methods and at prices determined by market conditions and other factors at the time of our offerings. The Partnership has no obligation to sell any common units under the ATM Program and the Partnership may suspend sales under the ATM Program at any time. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Partnership did not issue common units under the ATM Program. As of June 30, 2019, $197 million of common units remained available for issuance through the ATM Program.


(8) Investment in Equity Method Affiliate
 
The Partnership uses the equity method of accounting for investments in entities in which it has an ownership interest between 20% and 50% and exercises significant influence.
 
SESH is owned 50% by Enbridge, Inc. and 50% by the Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the SESH LLC Agreement, if, at any time, CenterPoint Energy has a right to receive less than 50% of our distributions through its interest in the Partnership and its economic interest in Enable GP, or does not have the ability to exercise certain control rights, Enbridge, Inc. may, under certain circumstances, have the right to purchase the Partnership’s interest in SESH at fair market value, subject to certain exceptions.

The Partnership shares operations of SESH with Enbridge, Inc. under service agreements. The Partnership is responsible for the field operations of SESH. SESH reimburses each party for actual costs incurred, which are billed based upon a combination of direct charges and allocations. The Partnership billed SESH $7 million and $6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $10 million and $8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, associated with these service agreements.

The Partnership includes equity in earnings of equity method affiliate under the Other Income (Expense) caption in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Commercial Paper

The Partnership has a commercial paper program, pursuant to which the Partnership is authorized to issue up to $1.4 billion of commercial paper. The commercial paper program is supported by our Revolving Credit Facility, and outstanding commercial paper effectively reduces our borrowing capacity thereunder. There were $681 million and $649 million outstanding under our commercial paper program at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for the outstanding commercial paper was 3.25% as of June 30, 2019.

Table of Contents


Revolving Credit Facility

On April 6, 2018, the Partnership amended and restated its Revolving Credit Facility. As amended and restated, the Revolving Credit Facility is a $1.75 billion, 5-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which under certain circumstances may be increased from time to time up to an additional $875 million. The Revolving Credit Facility is scheduled to mature on April 6, 2023, subject to an extension option, which could be exercised two times to extend the term of the Revolving Credit Facility, in each case, for an additional one-year term. As of June 30, 2019, there were no principal advances and $3 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Revolving Credit Facility provides that outstanding borrowings bear interest at the LIBOR and/or an alternate base rate, at the Partnership’s election, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on the Partnership’s designated credit ratings from S&P, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings. As of June 30, 2019, the applicable margin for LIBOR-based borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility was 1.50% based on the Partnership’s credit ratings. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the Partnership to pay a fee on unused commitments. The commitment fee is based on the Partnership’s credit ratings. As of June 30, 2019, the commitment fee under the restated Revolving Credit Facility was 0.20% per annum based on the Partnership’s credit ratings. The commitment fee is recorded as interest expense in the Partnership’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

2019 Term Loan Agreement

On January 29, 2019, the Partnership entered into an unsecured term loan agreement, providing for up to $1 billion in advances with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and the several lenders thereto. The 2019 Term Loan Agreement has a scheduled maturity date of January 29, 2022, but contains an option, which may be exercised up to two times, to extend the maturity date for an additional one-year term. As of June 30, 2019, there is a principal advance of $850 million outstanding under the 2019 Term Loan Agreement, and a delayed-draw feature permits the Partnership to borrow up to an additional $150 million within 180 days of the closing date, subject to the terms and conditions of the 2019 Term Loan Agreement. The 2019 Term Loan Agreement provides that outstanding borrowings bear interest at the eurodollar rate and/or an alternate base rate, at the Partnership’s election, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on the Partnership’s credit ratings. The applicable margin shall equal, (1) in the case of interest rates determined by reference to the eurodollar rate, between 0.75% and 1.50% per annum and (2) in the case of interest rates determined by reference to the alternate base rate, between 0% and 0.50% per annum. As of June 30, 2019, the applicable margin for LIBOR-based advances under the 2019 Term Loan Facility was 1.25% based on the Partnership’s credit ratings. As of June 30, 2019, the weighted average interest rate of the 2019 Term Loan Agreement was 3.62%.

The 2019 Term Loan Agreement requires the Partnership to, starting April 29, 2019 and continuing until the date on which all commitments have expired or been terminated or the amount available to be drawn is zero, pay a ticking fee on each lender’s unused commitment amount. The ticking fee shall equal a per annum rate of 0.125% on the actual daily amount of such lender’s portion of the unused commitments.

Advances under the 2019 Term Loan Agreement are subject to certain conditions precedent, including the accuracy in all material respects of certain representations and warranties and the absence of any default or event of default. Advances under the 2019 Term Loan Agreement may be used to refinance indebtedness outstanding from time to time and for other general corporate purposes, including to fund acquisitions, investments and capital expenditures. Advances under the 2019 Term Loan Agreement can be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, other than usual and customary LIBOR breakage costs, if applicable.

The 2019 Term Loan Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring the Partnership to maintain a ratio of consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA as of the last day of each fiscal quarter of less than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00; provided that, for a certain period time following an acquisition by the Partnership or certain of its subsidiaries with a purchase price that when combined with the aggregate purchase price for all other such acquisitions in any rolling 12-month period, is equal to or greater than $25 million, the consolidated funded debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio as of the last day of each such fiscal quarter during such period would be permitted to be up to 5.50 to 1.00.

The 2019 Term Loan Agreement also contains covenants that restrict the Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries in respect of, among other things, mergers and consolidations, sales of all or substantially all assets, incurrence of subsidiary indebtedness, incurrence of liens, transactions with affiliates, designation of subsidiaries as Excluded Subsidiaries (as defined in the 2019 Term Loan Agreement), restricted payments, changes in the nature of their respective business and entering into certain restrictive agreements. The 2019 Term Loan Agreement is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain defaults, including, among others, payment defaults on such facility, breach of representations, warranties and covenants, acceleration of indebtedness (other

than intercompany and non-recourse indebtedness) of $100 million or more in the aggregate, change of control, nonpayment of uninsured judgments in excess of $100 million, and the occurrence of certain ERISA and bankruptcy events, subject, where applicable, to specified cure periods.

Senior Notes

As of June 30, 2019, the Partnership’s debt included the 2024 Notes, 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes and 2044 Notes, which had $8 million of unamortized discount and $19 million of unamortized debt expense at June 30, 2019, resulting in effective interest rates of 4.01%, 4.57%, 5.20% and 5.08%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2019. In May 2019, the Partnership’s 2019 Notes matured and were paid using proceeds from the 2019 Term Loan Agreement.

As of June 30, 2019, the Partnership’s debt included EOIT’s Senior Notes. The EOIT Senior Notes had $4 million of unamortized premium at June 30, 2019, resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.81% during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, the Partnership and EOIT were in compliance with all of their debt agreements, including financial covenants.


(10) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
 
The Partnership is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed using derivative instruments are commodity price and interest rate risks. The Partnership is also exposed to credit risk in its business operations.
 
Commodity Price Risk
 
The Partnership uses forward physical contracts, commodity price swap contracts and commodity price option features to manage its commodity price risk exposures. Commodity derivative instruments used by the Partnership are as follows:
NGL put options, NGL futures and swaps, and WTI crude oil futures, swaps and swaptions are used to manage the Partnership’s NGL and condensate exposure associated with its processing agreements;
natural gas futures and swaps, natural gas options, natural gas swaptions and natural gas commodity purchases and sales are used to manage the Partnership’s natural gas price exposure associated with its gathering, processing, transportation and storage assets, contracts and asset management activities.

Normal purchases and normal sales contracts are not recorded in Other Assets or Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and earnings are recognized and recorded in the period in which physical delivery of the commodity occurs. Management applies normal purchases and normal sales treatment to: (i) commodity contracts for the purchase and sale of natural gas used in or produced by the Partnership’s operations and (ii) commodity contracts for the purchase and sale of NGLs produced by its gathering and processing business.
 
The Partnership recognizes its non-exchange traded derivative instruments as Other Assets or Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with such amounts classified as current or long-term based on their anticipated settlement. Exchange traded transactions are settled on a net basis daily through margin accounts with a clearing broker and are recorded as Other Assets or Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value on a net basis with such amounts classified as current or long-term based on their anticipated settlement.
 
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Partnership had no commodity derivative instruments that were designated as cash flow or fair value hedges for accounting purposes.

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Risk

The Partnership uses interest rate swap contracts to manage its interest rate risk exposures. The Partnership recognizes its interest rate derivative instruments as Other Assets or Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with such amounts classified as current or long-term based on their anticipated settlement. The Partnership’s interest rate swap contracts are designated as cash flow hedging instruments for accounting purposes. For interest rate derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedging instruments, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized currently in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be reclassified to Interest expense in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings. As of June 30, 2019, the Partnership had no interest rate derivative instruments that were designated as fair value hedges for accounting purposes. As of December 31, 2018, the Partnership had no outstanding interest rate derivative instruments.

Credit Risk
 
Credit risk includes the risk that counterparties that owe the Partnership money or energy will breach their obligations. If the counterparties to these arrangements fail to perform, the Partnership may seek or be forced to enter into alternative arrangements. In that event, the Partnership’s financial results could be adversely affected, and the Partnership could incur losses.
 
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
 
Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes are utilized to manage its exposure to commodity price risk. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized currently in earnings.

Quantitative Disclosures Related to Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
 
The majority of natural gas physical purchases and sales not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are priced based on a monthly or daily index, and the fair value is subject to little or no market price risk. Natural gas physical sales volumes exceed natural gas physical purchase volumes due to the marketing of natural gas volumes purchased via the Partnership’s processing contracts, which are not derivative instruments.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Partnership had the following derivative instruments that were not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes:

Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features in Derivative Instruments
 
In the event Moody’s or S&P were to lower the Partnership’s senior unsecured debt rating to a below investment grade rating, the Partnership could be required to provide additional credit assurances to third parties, which could include letters of credit or cash collateral to satisfy its obligation under its financial and physical contracts relating to derivative instruments that are in a net liability position. As of June 30, 2019, under these obligations, the Partnership has posted no cash collateral related to NGL swaps and crude swaps and swaptions and no additional collateral would be required to be posted by the Partnership in the event of a credit ratings downgrade to a below investment grade rating. In certain situations where the Partnership’s credit rating is lowered by Moody’s or S&P, the Partnership could be subject to an early termination event related to certain derivative instruments, which could result in a cash settlement of the instruments at market values on the date of such early termination.


(11) Fair Value Measurements
 
Certain assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined below and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities are as follows:
 
Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. Instruments classified as Level 1 include natural gas futures, swaps and options transactions for contracts traded on either the NYMEX or the ICE and settled through either a NYMEX or ICE clearing broker.
 
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Fair value assets and liabilities that are generally included in this category are derivatives with fair values based on inputs from actively quoted markets. Instruments classified as Level 2 generally include over-the-counter natural gas swaps, natural gas swaptions, natural gas basis swaps and natural gas purchase and sales transactions in markets such that the pricing is closely related to the NYMEX or the ICE pricing, over-the-counter WTI crude oil swaps and swaptions for condensate sales, and over-the-counter interest rate swaps traded in observable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets. We consider the valuation of our interest rate derivatives as Level 2 as the primary input, the LIBOR curve, is based on quotes from an active exchange of Eurodollar futures for the same period as the future interest swap settlements.
 
Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The Partnership develops these inputs based on the best information available, including the Partnership’s own data.
 
The Partnership utilizes the market approach in determining the fair value of its derivative positions by using either NYMEX, ICE or WTI published market prices, independent broker pricing data or broker/dealer valuations. The valuations of derivatives with pricing based on NYMEX or ICE published market prices may be considered Level 1 if they are settled through a NYMEX or ICE clearing broker account with daily margining. Over-the-counter derivatives with NYMEX, ICE or WTI based prices are considered Level 2 due to the impact of counterparty credit risk. Valuations based on independent broker pricing or broker/dealer valuations may be classified as Level 2 only to the extent they may be validated by an additional source of independent market data for an identical or closely related active market. Certain derivatives with option features may be classified as Level 2 if valued using an industry standard Black-Scholes option pricing model that contain observable inputs in the marketplace throughout the term of the derivative instrument. In certain less liquid markets or for longer-term contracts, forward prices are not as readily available. In these circumstances, contracts are valued using internally developed methodologies that consider historical relationships among various quoted prices in active markets that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. These contracts are classified as Level 3. As of June 30, 2019, there were no contracts classified as Level 3.
 
The Partnership determines the appropriate level for each financial asset and liability on a quarterly basis and recognizes transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no transfers between levels.
 
The impact to the fair value of derivatives due to credit risk is calculated using the probability of default based on Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and/or internally generated ratings. The fair value of derivative assets is adjusted for credit risk. The fair value of derivative liabilities is adjusted for credit risk only if the impact is deemed material.

Borrowing capacity is effectively reduced by our borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program. $681 million and $649 million of commercial paper was outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The fair value of the Partnership’s Revolving Credit Facility, 2019 Term Loan Agreement, 2019 Notes, 2024 Notes, 2027 Notes, 2028 Notes, 2044 Notes and EOIT Senior Notes is based on quoted market prices and estimates of current rates available for similar issues with similar maturities and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
 
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
 
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). As of June 30, 2019, no material fair value adjustments or fair value measurements were required for these non-financial assets or liabilities.

Contracts with Master Netting Arrangements
 
Fair value amounts recognized for forward, interest rate swap, option and other conditional or exchange contracts executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement may be offset. The reporting entity’s choice to offset or not must be applied consistently. A master netting arrangement exists if the reporting entity has multiple contracts, whether for the same type of conditional or exchange contract or for different types of contracts, with a single counterparty that are subject to a contractual agreement that provides for the net settlement of all contracts through a single payment in a single currency in the event of default on or termination of any one contract. Offsetting the fair values recognized for forward, interest rate swap, option and other conditional or exchange contracts outstanding with a single counterparty results in the net fair value of the transactions being reported as an asset or a liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Partnership has presented the fair values of its derivative contracts under master netting agreements using a net fair value presentation.

On October 24, 2018, EOIT entered into a no-notice load-following transportation agreement with OGE Energy, with a primary term of April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2024. Following the primary term, the agreement will remain in effect from year to year thereafter unless either party provides notice of termination to the other party at least 180 days prior to the commencement of the succeeding annual period. On December 6, 2016, EOIT entered into an additional firm transportation agreement with OGE Energy, for one of its generating facilities with a primary term of December 1, 2018 through December 1, 2038.

Gas Sales and Purchases Transactions

The Partnership sells natural gas volumes to affiliates of CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy or purchases natural gas volumes from affiliates of CenterPoint Energy through a combination of forward, monthly and daily transactions. The Partnership enters into these physical natural gas transactions in the normal course of business based upon relevant market prices.

Seconded employees and corporate services

As of June 30, 2019, the Partnership had certain employees who are participants under OGE Energy’s defined benefit and retiree medical plans, who will remain seconded to the Partnership, subject to certain termination rights of the Partnership and OGE Energy. The Partnership’s reimbursement of OGE Energy for seconded employee costs arising out of OGE Energy’s defined benefit and retiree medical plans is fixed at actual cost subject to a cap of $5 million in 2019 and thereafter, unless and until secondment is terminated.
 
The Partnership receives services and support functions from each of CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy under services agreements for an initial term that ended on April 30, 2016. The services agreements automatically extend year-to-year at the end of the initial term, unless terminated by the Partnership with at least 90 days’ notice prior to the end of any extension. Additionally, the Partnership may terminate the services agreements at any time with 180 days’ notice, if approved by the Board of Enable GP. The Partnership reimburses CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy for these services up to annual caps, which for 2019 are $1 million and $1 million, respectively.

Amounts charged to the Partnership by affiliates for seconded employees and corporate services, included primarily in Operation and maintenance and General and administrative expenses in the Partnership’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are as follows:

(14) Commitments and Contingencies
 
The Partnership is routinely involved in legal, environmental, tax and regulatory proceedings before various courts, regulatory commissions and governmental agencies regarding matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these proceedings may from time to time involve substantial amounts. The Partnership regularly analyzes current information and, as necessary, provides accruals for probable liabilities on the eventual disposition of these matters. The Partnership does not currently expect the disposition of these matters to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

On January 1, 2017, the Partnership entered into a 10-year gathering and processing agreement, which became effective on July 1, 2018, with an affiliate of Energy Transfer Partners, LP for 400 MMcf/d of deliveries to the Godley Plant in Johnson County, Texas. As of June 30, 2019, the Partnership estimates the remaining associated 10-year minimum volume commitment fee to be $204 million.

On September 13, 2018, the Partnership executed a precedent agreement for the development of the Gulf Run Pipeline, an interstate natural gas transportation project. On January 30, 2019, a final investment decision was made by Golden Pass LNG, the cornerstone shipper for the LNG facility to be served by the Gulf Run Pipeline project. Subject to approval of the project by the FERC, the Partnership will be required to construct a large-diameter pipeline from northern Louisiana to Gulf Coast markets. In addition, the Partnership may transfer existing EGT transportation infrastructure to the Gulf Run Pipeline. Under the precedent agreement, the Partnership estimates the cost to complete the Gulf Run Pipeline project would be as much as $550 million and the project is backed by a 20-year firm transportation service. The Gulf Run Pipeline connects natural gas producing regions in the U.S., including the Haynesville, Marcellus, Utica and Barnett shales and the Mid-Continent region. The project is expected to be placed into service in 2022.

(16) Reportable Segments

The Partnership’s determination of reportable segments considers the strategic operating units under which it manages sales, allocates resources and assesses performance of various products and services to customers in differing regulatory environments. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies excerpt in the Partnership’s audited 2018 consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report. The Partnership uses operating income as the measure of profit or loss for its reportable segments.

The Partnership’s assets and operations are organized into two reportable segments: (i) gathering and processing, which primarily provides natural gas and crude oil gathering and natural gas processing services to our producer customers, and (ii) transportation and storage, which provides interstate and intrastate natural gas pipeline transportation and storage service primarily to our producer, power plant, LDC and industrial end-user customers.

Financial data for reportable segments are as follows:

Overview

Enable Midstream Partners, LP is a Delaware limited partnership formed in May 2013 to own, operate and develop midstream energy infrastructure assets strategically located to serve our customers. We completed our initial public offering in April 2014, and we are traded on the NYSE under the symbol “ENBL.” Our general partner is owned by CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy. In this report, the terms “Partnership” and “Registrant” as well as the terms “our,” “we,” “us” and “its,” are sometimes used as abbreviated references to Enable Midstream Partners, LP together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Our assets and operations are organized into two reportable segments: (i) gathering and processing and (ii) transportation and storage. Our gathering and processing segment primarily provides natural gas and crude oil gathering and natural gas processing services to our producer customers and crude oil, condensate and produced water gathering services to our producer and refiner customers. Our transportation and storage segment provides interstate and intrastate natural gas pipeline transportation and storage services primarily to our producer, power plant, LDC and industrial end-user customers.
 
Our natural gas gathering and processing assets are primarily located in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana and serve natural gas production in the Anadarko, Arkoma and Ark-La-Tex Basins. Our crude oil gathering assets are located in Oklahoma and North Dakota and serve crude oil production in the Anadarko and Williston Basins. Our natural gas transportation and storage assets consist primarily of an interstate pipeline system extending from western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle to Louisiana, an interstate pipeline system extending from Louisiana to Illinois, an intrastate pipeline system in Oklahoma and our investment in SESH, an interstate pipeline extending from Louisiana to Alabama.

We expect our business to continue to be affected by the key trends included in our Annual Report, as well as the recent developments discussed herein. Our expectations are based on assumptions made by us and information currently available to us. To the extent our underlying assumptions about, or interpretations of, available information prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from our expected results.

Our primary business objective is to increase the cash available for distribution to our unitholders over time while maintaining our financial flexibility. Our business strategies for achieving this objective include capitalizing on organic growth opportunities associated with our strategically located assets, growing through accretive acquisitions, maintaining strong customer relationships to attract new volumes and expand beyond our existing asset footprint and business lines, and continuing to minimize direct commodity price exposure through fee-based contracts. As part of these efforts, we continuously engage in discussions with new and existing customers regarding potential projects to develop new midstream assets to support their needs as well as discussions with potential counterparties regarding opportunities to purchase or invest in complementary assets in new operating areas or midstream business lines. These growth, acquisition and development efforts often involve assets which, if acquired or constructed, could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


Recent Developments

Our Sponsors

CenterPoint Energy and OGE Energy each own a significant interest in us. In the first quarter of 2016, CenterPoint Energy announced that it was evaluating strategic alternatives for its investment in the Partnership. In the first quarter of 2018, CenterPoint Energy disclosed it had decided not to pursue a sale or spin-off qualifying under Section 355 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code at that time and that, while a transaction for all its interests in the Partnership was not viable at that time, it may pursue a transaction if it becomes viable in the future. CenterPoint Energy also disclosed that it may reduce its investment in the Partnership through a sale of all or a portion of the Partnership common units it owns in the public equity markets or otherwise, subject to certain limitations. On August 5, 2019, CenterPoint filed Schedule 13D/A that disclosed that it has no intention to reduce its ownership of Common Units in the Partnership and currently plans to hold such Common Units and to utilize any cash distributions received on such Common Units to finance a portion of CenterPoint’s capital expenditure program.

Commercial Update

Transportation and Storage Agreements with CenterPoint Energy
 
EGT provides natural gas transportation and storage services to CenterPoint Energy's LDCs in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Notheast Texas under a combination of contracts that include the following types of services: firm transportation, firm transportation with seasonal demand, firm storage, no-notice transportation with storage and maximum rate firm transportation. These contracts are in effect through March 31, 2021. CenterPoint’s LDCs have received the required regulatory approvals to extend transportation and storage contracts with EGT. The term for the transportation and storage services provided to CenterPoint Energy’s LDCs in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Northeast Texas is expected to be extended beyond March 31, 2021, pursuant to the terms of the approved contracts.

Regulatory Update

The regulation of midstream energy infrastructure assets has a significant impact on our business. For example, our interstate natural gas transportation and storage assets are subject to regulation by FERC under the Natural Gas Act (NGA). In March 2018, FERC announced a Revised Policy Statement on Treatment of Income Taxes stating that it would no longer allow pipelines organized as a master limited partnership to recover an income tax allowance in their cost-of-service rates. In July 2018, FERC issued new regulations which required all FERC-regulated natural gas pipelines to make a one-time Form No. 501-G filing providing certain financial information and to select one of four options: (i) file a limited NGA Section 4 filing reducing its rates only as required in relation to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 and the Revised Policy Statement, (ii) commit to filing a general NGA Section 4 rate case in the near future, (iii) file a statement explaining why an adjustment to rates is not needed, or (iv) take no other action. In October 2018, EGT filed its Form No. 501-G and filed a statement that it intended to take no other action. On March 8, 2019, FERC terminated EGT’s 501-G proceeding and required no other action.

MRT did not file a FERC Form No. 501-G because MRT had filed a general NGA Section 4 rate case in June 2018. The rate case proposed, among other things, a general system-wide increase in the maximum tariff rates for all firm and interruptible services offered by MRT, a change in the boundary between the Field and Market zones, a requirement for daily balancing, changes to the Small Customer service rate schedule and an income tax allowance in its cost-of-service rates. In July 2018, FERC issued an order accepting MRT’s proposed rate increases subject to refund upon a final determination of MRT’s rates and ordering MRT to refile its rate case to reflect, the elimination of an income tax allowance in its cost-of-service rates. On August 30, 2018, MRT submitted a supplemental filing to comply with FERC’s order. MRT has appealed FERC’s order to eliminate the income tax allowance in its cost-of-service rates, but we believe that the ordered elimination will have a de minimis impact on MRT’s rates. On February 19, 2019, FERC set MRT’s refiled rate case for hearing, and on June 17, 2019, FERC modified the procedural schedule and set the hearing to begin in January 2020.

On April 12, 2019, FERC accepted EGR and EGT into the pre-filing process in connection with their prospective applications for certificate to construct, operate and maintain natural gas pipeline facilities. Using the pre-filing procedures should enable more efficient and expeditious actions by FERC on EGR’s and EGT’s certificate applications allowing these entities, in advance of filing certificate applications with FERC, to engage stakeholders in the identification and resolution of concerns and to engage a consultant to work at FERC’s direction to perform an environmental impact assessment.

In addition to the regulation of our interstate natural gas transportation and storage assets by FERC, our midstream energy infrastructure assets are subject to regulation by various federal and state agencies, including DOT’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. For an additional discussion of the impact of regulation on our business, see Item 1, Rate and Other Regulation in our Annual Report.

Liquidity Update

Term Loan Agreement

On January 29, 2019, the Partnership entered into a term loan facility, providing for an unsecured three-year $1 billion term loan agreement. For more information, please see Note 9 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Gathering and Processing

Three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to three months ended June 30, 2018. Our gathering and processing segment reported operating income of $127 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to operating income of $81 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The difference of $46 million in operating income between periods was primarily due to a $60 million increase in gross margin and a $1 million decrease in operation and maintenance and general and administrative expenses. This was partially offset by a $15 million increase in depreciation and amortization during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Our gathering and processing segment revenues decreased $54 million. The decrease was primarily due to the following:

40

Table of Contents

Product Sales:
revenues from NGL sales decreased $96 million primarily due to a decrease in the average realized sales price from lower average market prices for all NGL products and higher volumes subject to fee deductions for NGLs sold under certain third-party processing arrangements, partially offset by higher processed volumes, and
revenues from natural gas sales decreased $10 million due to lower average natural gas sales prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes.
These decreases were partially offset by:
changes in the fair value of natural gas, condensate and NGL derivatives increased $20 million.
Service Revenues:
natural gas gathering revenues increased $17 million due to higher fees and gathered volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins,
crude oil, condensate and produced water gathering revenues increased $11 million primarily due to an increase related to the November 2018 acquisition of EOCS and an increase in volumes in the Williston Basin, partially offset by lower average rates,
processing service revenues increased $2 million resulting from higher processed volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins, partially offset by lower consideration received from percent-of-proceeds, percent-of-liquids and keep-whole processing arrangements due to a decrease in the average realized price, and
a $2 million increase in intercompany management fees.

Our gathering and processing segment gross margin increased $60 million. The increase was primarily due to the following:
changes in the fair value of natural gas, condensate and NGL derivatives increased $20 million,
natural gas gathering fees increased $17 million due to higher fees and gathered volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins,
crude oil, condensate and produced water gathering revenues increased $11 million primarily due to an increase related to the November 2018 acquisition of EOCS and an increase in volumes in the Williston Basin, partially offset by lower average rates,
revenues from NGL sales less the cost of NGLs increased $15 million due to higher processed volumes, partially offset by lower average sales prices,
processing service fees increased $2 million resulting from higher processed volumes in the Anadarko and Ark-La-Tex Basins, partially offset by lower consideration received from percent-of-proceeds, percent-of-liquids and keep-whole processing arrangements due to a decrease in the average realized price and
a $2 million increase in intercompany management fees.
These increases were partially offset by:
revenues from natural gas sales less the cost of natural gas decreased approximately $7 million due to lower average natural gas sales prices, partially offset by higher sales volumes.

Our gathering and processing segment operation and maintenance and general and administrative expenses decreased $1 million. The decrease was primarily due to a $4 million decrease in materials and supplies expense primarily related to lower chemical costs and a $1 million decrease in equipment rentals due to a decrease in compressor rentals. These were partially offset by a $2 million increase in payroll-related costs, a $1 million increase in insurance expense as a result of additional assets in service and a $1 million increase due to lower capitalized overhead costs.

Our gathering and processing segment depreciation and amortization increased $15 million primarily due to $5 million of amortization of customer intangibles acquired as part of the acquisition of EOCS in the fourth quarter of 2018, a $5 million increase in depreciation related to other additional assets placed in service and an increase in depreciation of $5 million from the implementation of new rates from the 2019 depreciation study.

Six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to six months ended June 30, 2018. Our gathering and processing segment reported operating income of $228 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to operating income of $166 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The difference of $62 million in operating income between periods was primarily due to a $97 million increase in gross margin. This was partially offset by a $7 million increase in operation and maintenance and general and administrative expenses, a $27 million increase in depreciation and amortization and a $1 million increase in taxes other than income tax during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Partnership has included the non-GAAP financial measures Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and Distribution coverage ratio in this report based on information in its condensed consolidated financial statements. Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and Distribution coverage ratio are part of the performance measures that we use to manage the Partnership.

Provided below are reconciliations of Gross margin to total revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and DCF to net income attributable to limited partners, and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities and Adjusted interest expense to interest expense, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, on a historical basis, as applicable, for each of the periods indicated. Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and Distribution coverage ratio should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, total revenues, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Additionally, because Gross margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted interest expense, DCF and Distribution coverage ratio may be defined differently by other companies in the Partnership’s industry, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership’s principal liquidity requirements are to finance its operations, fund capital expenditures and acquisitions, make cash distributions and satisfy any indebtedness obligations. We expect that our liquidity and capital resource needs will be met by cash on hand, operating cash flow, proceeds from commercial paper issuances, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, borrowings under our term loan, debt issuances and the issuance of equity. However, issuances of equity or debt in the capital markets and additional credit facilities may not be available to us on acceptable terms. Access to funds obtained through the equity or debt capital markets, particularly in the energy sector, has been constrained by a variety of market factors that have hindered the ability of energy companies to raise new capital or obtain financing at acceptable terms. Factors that contribute to our ability to raise capital through these channels depend on our financial condition, credit ratings and market conditions. Our ability to generate cash flow is subject to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. See Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for further discussion.
 
Working Capital

48

Table of Contents

 
Working capital is the difference in our current assets and our current liabilities. Working capital is an indication of liquidity and potential need for short-term funding. The change in our working capital requirements are driven generally by changes in accounts receivable, accounts payable, commodity prices, credit extended to, and the timing of collections from, customers, the level and timing of spending for maintenance and expansion activity, and the timing of debt maturities. As of June 30, 2019, we had a working capital deficit of $894 million. The deficit is primarily due to the classification of $254 million of the EOIT Senior Notes as Current portion of long-term debt as of June 30, 2019 as well as $681 million of commercial paper outstanding as of June 30, 2019. We utilize our commercial paper program and Revolving Credit Facility to manage the timing of cash flows and fund short-term working capital deficits.
 
Cash Flows

Operating Activities
 
The increase of $22 million or 5%, in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily driven by an increase in net income of $38 million and an increase of $26 million in income net of non-cash items, partially offset by a decrease of $42 million in the timing of cash receipts and disbursements and changes in other working capital assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities
 
The decrease of $106 million, or 30%, in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to lower capital expenditures of $123 million, proceeds from sale of asset of $8 million due to the 2018 sale of a cryogenic processing plant, proceeds from insurance of $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 with no comparable item for the six months ended June 30, 2019, and an increase in return of investment in equity method affiliate of $1 million, partially offset by an increase in other investing outflows of $9 million.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased $142 million, or 316%, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. Our primary financing activities consist of the following:

Table of Contents

Sources of Liquidity

As of June 30, 2019, our sources of liquidity included:
cash on hand;
cash generated from operations;
proceeds from commercial paper issuances;
borrowings under our 2019 Term Loan Agreement
borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility; and
capital raised through debt and equity markets.

ATM Program

On May 12, 2017, the Partnership entered into an ATM Equity Offering Sales Agreement, pursuant to which the Partnership may issue and sell common units having an aggregate offering price of up to $200 million, by sales methods and at prices determined by market conditions and other factors at the time of our offerings. The Partnership has no obligation to sell any common units under the ATM Program and the Partnership may suspend sales under the ATM Program at any time. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Partnership did not issue common units under the ATM Program. As of June 30, 2019, $197 million of common units remained available for issuance through the ATM Program.

Distributions
 
On August 2, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.3305 per common unit on all of the Partnership’s outstanding common units for the period ended June 30, 2019. The distributions will be paid August 27, 2019 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 20, 2019. Additionally, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.625 on the Partnership’s outstanding Series A Preferred Units. The distributions will be paid August 14, 2019 to unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 2, 2019.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Credit Risk
 
We are exposed to certain credit risks relating to our ongoing business operations. Credit risk includes the risk that counterparties that owe us money or energy commodities will breach their obligations. If the counterparties to these arrangements fail to perform, we may be forced to enter into alternative arrangements. In that event, our financial results could be adversely affected, and we could incur losses. We examine the creditworthiness of third-party customers to whom we extend credit and manage our exposure to credit risk through credit analysis, credit approval, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and for certain transactions, we may request letters of credit, prepayments or guarantees.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The Partnership’s critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates within Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our Annual Report. The accounting policies and estimates used in preparing our interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended June 30, 2019 are the same as those described in our Annual Report.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including volatility in commodity prices and interest rates.
 

50

Table of Contents

Commodity Price Risk
 
While we generate a substantial portion of our gross margin pursuant to fee-based contracts that include minimum volume commitments and/or demand fees, we are also directly and indirectly exposed to changes in the prices of natural gas, condensate and NGLs. The Partnership utilizes derivatives and forward commodity sales to mitigate the effects of price changes. We do not enter into risk management contracts for speculative purposes. For further information regarding our derivatives, see Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Based on our forecasted volumes, prices and contractual arrangements, we estimate approximately 13% of our total gross margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 is directly exposed to changes in commodity prices, excluding the impact of hedges and contractual floors related to commodity prices in certain agreements. Since June 30, 2019, we have entered into additional derivative contracts to further manage our exposure to commodity price risk for the six months ending December 31, 2019.

Commodity price risk is estimated as the potential loss in value resulting from a hypothetical 10% decline in prices over the next six months. Based on a sensitivity analysis, a 10% decrease in prices from forecasted levels would decrease net income by approximately $5 million for natural gas and ethane and $6 million for NGLs (other than ethane) and condensate, excluding the impact of hedges, for the remaining six months ending December 31, 2019.

Interest Rate Risk
 
Our current interest rate risk exposure is related primarily to our debt portfolio. Our debt portfolio includes senior notes with a fixed rate of interest, which mitigates the impact of fluctuations in interest rates. Future issuances of long-term debt could be impacted by increases in interest rates, which could result in higher interest costs. Borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, 2019 Term Loan Agreement and any issuances under our commercial paper program are at a variable interest rate and expose us to the risk of increasing interest rates. The Partnership utilizes derivatives to mitigate the risk of interest rate changes. We do not enter into risk management contracts for speculative purposes. For further information regarding our derivatives, see Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Based upon the $1.5 billion outstanding borrowings under commercial paper and 2019 Term Loan Agreement as of June 30, 2019, and holding all other variables constant such as excluding the impact of hedges, a 100 basis-point, or 1%, increase in interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $15 million. For further information regarding our interest rates, see Note 9 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2019. Based on such evaluation, our management has concluded that, as of June 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed and effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and the application of judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
