(unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and Business Description

The accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements apply to Crestwood Equity Partners LP (Crestwood Equity or CEQP) and Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (Crestwood Midstream or CMLP).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 27, 2023. The financial information as of September 30, 2023 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, is unaudited. The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 were derived from the audited balance sheets filed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Unless otherwise indicated, references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “ours,” “our company,” the “Partnership,” the “Company,” “Crestwood Equity,” “CEQP,” and similar terms refer to either Crestwood Equity Partners LP itself or Crestwood Equity Partners LP and its consolidated subsidiaries, as the context requires. Unless otherwise indicated, references to “Crestwood Midstream” and “CMLP” refer to Crestwood Midstream Partners LP and its consolidated subsidiaries, as the context requires.

Organization

Energy Transfer LP Merger. On November 3, 2023, Crestwood Equity is expected to merge with and into a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer LP (Energy Transfer) in an all-equity transaction valued at approximately $7.1 billion (the Energy Transfer Merger). On August 16, 2023, Crestwood Equity entered into a merger agreement with Energy Transfer pursuant to which each Crestwood Equity common unit representing limited partner interests in Crestwood Equity issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Energy Transfer Merger will be converted into the right to receive 2.07 common units representing limited partner interests in Energy Transfer. Each preferred unit representing limited partner interests in Crestwood Equity issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Energy Transfer Merger will, at the election of the holder of such preferred unit, be (i) converted into a preferred unit of Energy Transfer that has substantially similar terms, including with respect to economics and structural protections, as the preferred units of Crestwood Equity, (ii) redeemed in exchange for cash, at a price of 108% of the preferred unit price plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of such redemption, or (iii) converted into common units, at the then-applicable conversion ratio (one common unit for 10 preferred), subject to the payment of any accrued but unpaid distributions prior to Energy Transfer Merger. In connection with the Energy Transfer Merger and at the direction of Energy Transfer, Crestwood Equity conducted a consent solicitation pursuant to which Crestwood Equity solicited consent from the preferred unitholders to approve an amendment to its Sixth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership. Pursuant to the proposed amendment, among other things, (i) the preferred unitholders electing a cash redemption in the Energy Transfer Merger would receive such cash redemption price as increased from 101% to 108% of the preferred unit price; and (ii) the preferred unitholders electing to receive preferred units of Energy Transfer would receive such preferred units of Energy Transfer with terms similar to Energy Transfer’s other outstanding series of preferred units. Crestwood Equity received the consents from the preferred unitholders necessary to approve the proposed amendment and therefore, the proposed amendment will be adopted at the closing of the Energy Transfer Merger.

For more information regarding the merger and the merger agreement, see our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 16, 2023 and our definitive merger proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on September 29, 2023.

Crestwood Equity Partners LP. CEQP is a publicly-traded Delaware limited partnership, and its common units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol “CEQP” and its preferred units are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “CEQP-P.” In connection with the consummation of the Energy Transfer Merger, we requested that the NYSE delist our common and preferred units and, as a result, trading of our common and preferred units will be suspended on November 3, 2023. We also requested that the NYSE file a Form 25 with the SEC notifying the SEC of the delisting of our common and preferred units and the withdrawal of registration of our common and preferred units under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. Following the effectiveness of the Form 25, we intend to file with the SEC a Form 15 regarding the termination of registration of our common and preferred units under the Exchange Act and the suspension of reporting obligations with respect to our common and preferred units.

Note 3 – Acquisitions and Divestitures

Oasis Merger

On February 1, 2022, we completed the merger with Oasis Midstream Partners LP (Oasis Midstream), in an equity and cash transaction which was valued at approximately $1.8 billion (the Oasis Merger). Pursuant to the merger agreement, Oasis Petroleum Inc., now known as Chord Energy Corporation (Chord), received $150 million in cash plus approximately 20.9 million newly issued CEQP common units in exchange for its 33.8 million common units held in Oasis Midstream. In addition, Oasis Midstream’s public unitholders received approximately 12.9 million newly issued CEQP common units in exchange for the approximately 14.8 million Oasis Midstream common units held by them. Additionally, under the merger agreement, Chord received a $10 million cash payment in exchange for its ownership of the general partner of Oasis Midstream.

Sendero and CPJV Acquisitions

On July 11, 2022, we acquired Sendero Midstream Partners LP (Sendero), a privately-held midstream company, for cash consideration of approximately $631.2 million (Sendero Acquisition). Additionally, on July 11, 2022, we acquired First Reserve Management, L.P.’s (First Reserve) 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian Basin Holdings LLC (Crestwood Permian) in exchange for approximately $5.9 million in cash and approximately 11.3 million newly issued CEQP common units (CPJV Acquisition). The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the CPJV Acquisition exceeded the sum of the cash consideration paid, the fair value of the common units issued and the historical book value of our 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian (which was remeasured at fair value and derecognized) and, as a result, we recognized a gain of approximately $75.3 million, which is included in gain on acquisition in our consolidated statements of operations. Prior to the CPJV Acquisition, we owned a 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian, which we accounted for under the equity method of

accounting and we reflected this equity investment in our gathering and processing south segment. As a result of the CPJV Acquisition, we control and own 100% of the equity interests in Crestwood Permian.

Divestitures

Barnett

On July 1, 2022, we sold our assets in the Barnett Shale to EnLink Midstream, LLC for approximately $290 million, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Crestwood Midstream recorded a loss on the sale of approximately $53.3 million, which is included in loss on long-lived assets, net on its consolidated statement of operations. Crestwood Equity’s historical carrying value of the property, plant and equipment related to our Barnett Shale assets was less than the sales proceeds due to historical impairments previously recorded on the property, plant and equipment by Crestwood Equity and as a result, during the three months ended September 30, 2022, Crestwood Equity recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $72 million, which is included in loss on long-lived assets, net on its consolidated statements of operations.

Marcellus

In October 2022, we sold our assets in the Marcellus Shale to Antero Midstream Corporation for approximately $206 million, and during the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a loss on long-lived assets of approximately $248.2 million for the difference between the historical carrying value of the net assets and liabilities to be sold and the proceeds received from the sale.

Other Divestitures

In August 2023, we sold our transportation assets for approximately $8.0 million, and during the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a loss on long-lived assets of approximately $2.5 million related to the sale of these assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded a loss on long-lived assets of approximately $7.0 million related to the sale of parts inventory related to our legacy Granite Wash operations.

(1)As discussed in Note 3, in July 2022, we acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian, whose operations included its 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian Basin LLC (Crestwood Permian Basin). As of September 30, 2023, our equity in the underlying net assets of Crestwood Permian Basin was less than the carrying value of our investment balance by approximately $2.2 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded amortization of less than $0.1 million and approximately $0.1 million, respectively, related to this basis difference, which is reflected as a decrease in our earnings from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of operations, and during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded amortization of less than $0.1 million related to this basis difference. Our Crestwood Permian Basin investment is included in our gathering and processing south segment.

(2)In April 2023, we sold our equity interest in Tres Holdings and we recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $132 million, which eliminated our $19.9 million historical basis difference between our investment balance and our equity in the underlying net assets of Tres Holdings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded amortization of approximately $0.3 million related to this excess basis, which is reflected as an increase in our earnings from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of operations, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded amortization of approximately $0.3 million and $0.9 million related to this excess basis. Our Tres Holdings investment was included in our storage and logistics segment. See Tres Holdings Divestiture above for a further discussion of the sale of our Tres Holdings equity investment.

(3)As of September 30, 2023, our equity in the underlying net assets of Powder River Basin Industrial Complex, LLC (PRBIC) approximates the carrying value of our investment balance. Our PRBIC investment is included in our storage and logistics segment.

(4)In July 2022, we acquired the remaining 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian and as a result, we control and own 100% of the equity interests in Crestwood Permian. Our Crestwood Permian equity investment was previously included in our gathering and processing south segment. See Note 3 for a further discussion of this acquisition.

Note 6 – Risk Management

We are exposed to certain market risks related to our ongoing business operations. These risks include exposure to changing commodity prices. We utilize derivative instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, which is discussed below. Additional information related to our derivatives is discussed in Note 7.

Risk Management Activities

We sell NGLs (such as propane, ethane, butane and heating oil), crude oil and natural gas to energy-related businesses and may use a variety of financial and other instruments including forward contracts involving physical delivery of NGLs, crude oil and natural gas. We periodically enter into offsetting positions to economically hedge against the exposure our customer contracts create. Certain of these contracts and positions are derivative instruments. We do not designate any of our commodity-based

Table of Contents

derivatives as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Our commodity-based derivatives are reflected at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets, and changes in the fair value of these derivatives that impact the consolidated statements of operations are reflected in costs of product/services sold. Our commodity-based derivatives that are settled with physical commodities are reflected as an increase to product revenues, and the commodity inventory that is utilized to satisfy those physical obligations is reflected as an increase to product costs in our consolidated statements of operations. Our commodity-based derivatives that are settled financially are also reflected in product costs in our consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes the increase (decrease) in our product revenues and product costs, net, in our consolidated statements of operations related to our commodity-based derivatives (in millions):


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Product revenues	$	49.1	$	84.7	$	236.0	$	395.7
Product costs, net	$	18.0	$	(45.0)	$	(13.5)	$	6.3

We attempt to balance our contractual portfolio in terms of notional amounts and timing of performance and delivery obligations. This balance in the contractual portfolio significantly reduces the volatility in product costs related to these instruments.

Notional Amounts and Terms

The notional amounts of our derivative financial instruments include the following:


	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
	Fixed Price Payor	Fixed Price Receiver	Fixed Price Payor	Fixed Price Receiver
Propane, ethane, butane, heating oil and crude oil (MMBbls)	72.9	78.7	67.2	70.2
Natural gas (Bcf)	11.3	12.8	44.2	48.4

Notional amounts reflect the volume of transactions, but do not represent the amounts exchanged by the parties to the financial instruments. Accordingly, notional amounts do not reflect our monetary exposure to market or credit risks. All contracts subject to price risk had a maturity of 36 months or less; however, 88% of the contracted volumes will be delivered or settled within 12 months.

Credit Risk

Inherent in our contractual portfolio are certain credit risks. Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by suppliers, customers or financial counterparties to a contract. We take an active role in managing credit risk and have established control procedures, which are reviewed on an ongoing basis. We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure through credit policies and periodic monitoring procedures as well as through customer deposits, letters of credit and entering into netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain financial transactions, as deemed appropriate. The counterparties associated with our price risk management activities are energy marketers and propane retailers, resellers and dealers.

Certain of our derivative instruments have credit limits that require us to post collateral. The amount of collateral required to be posted is a function of the net liability position of the derivative as well as our established credit limit with the respective counterparty. If our credit rating were to change, the counterparties could require us to post additional collateral. The amount of additional collateral that would be required to be posted would vary depending on the extent of change in our credit rating as well as the requirements of the individual counterparty. All collateral amounts have been netted against the asset or liability with the respective counterparty and are reflected in our consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities from price risk management activities. For a summary of the fair value of our commodity derivative instruments with credit-risk related contingent features and their associated collateral, see Note 7.

Table of Contents

Note 7 – Fair Value Measurements

The accounting standard for fair value measurement establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•Level 1 — Includes inputs that are observable in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date such as exchange-traded derivatives, listed equities and U.S. government treasury securities.

•Level 2 — Includes inputs that are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as over the counter (OTC) forwards, options and physical exchanges.

•Level 3 — Includes significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which include our derivative instruments related to crude oil, NGLs and natural gas. Our derivative instruments consist of forwards, swaps, futures, physical exchanges and options. Our derivative instruments that are traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange have been categorized as Level 1. Our derivative instruments also include OTC contracts, which have been categorized as Level 2.

The following tables summarize the fair value hierarchy of our financial instruments that were reflected in our consolidated balance sheets (in millions):

(1)Amounts represent the impact of legally enforceable master netting agreements that allow us to settle positive and negative positions.

(2)Amount primarily relates to our investment in Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. units, which is reflected in other non-current assets on CEQP’s consolidated balance sheets.

Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

Credit Facilities

The fair value of the amounts outstanding under our credit facilities approximates their respective carrying amounts as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, primarily due to the variable nature of the interest rates of the instruments, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. See Note 8 for a further discussion of our credit facilities.

Senior Notes

We estimate the fair value of our senior notes primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issuances (representing a Level 2 fair value measurement). The following table represents the carrying amount (reduced for deferred financing costs associated with the respective notes) and fair value of our senior notes (in millions):


	September 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
2025 Senior Notes	$	498.4	$	491.8	$	497.6	$	486.7

(1)In conjunction with the merger with Oasis Midstream discussed in Note 3, we assumed the April 2029 Senior Notes, and we recorded a fair value adjustment of approximately $30.7 million. We recorded a reduction to our interest and debt expense related to the amortization of the fair value adjustment of approximately $1.1 million and $3.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $1.1 million and $2.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Credit Facilities

CMLP Credit Facility. Crestwood Midstream’s five-year $1.75 billion revolving credit facility (the CMLP Credit Facility) is available to fund acquisitions, working capital and internal growth projects and for general partnership purposes. Subject to limited exception, the CMLP Credit Facility is guaranteed and secured by substantially all of the equity interests and assets of Crestwood Midstream’s subsidiaries, except for Crestwood Infrastructure Holdings LLC, Crestwood Niobrara LLC, PRBIC and their respective subsidiaries. In January 2023, Crestwood Permian and certain of its subsidiaries were designated as guarantor subsidiaries of Crestwood Midstream’s credit facility and senior notes.

In conjunction with the merger with Oasis Midstream on February 1, 2022, we borrowed amounts under the CMLP Credit Facility to fund the cash paid of $160 million to Oasis Petroleum and to repay approximately $218 million of borrowings on Oasis Midstream’s credit facility, which was retired on February 1, 2022. In addition, in July 2022 we borrowed approximately $631.2 million under the CMLP Credit Facility to fund the Sendero Acquisition.

Under the credit agreement, Crestwood Midstream is required to maintain a net debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not more than 5.50 to 1.0, a consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 2.50 to 1.0, and a senior secured leverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not more than 3.50 to 1.0. At September 30, 2023, the net debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio was approximately 4.35 to 1.0, the consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio was approximately 3.65 to 1.0, and the senior secured leverage ratio was 0.61 to 1.0.

At September 30, 2023, Crestwood Midstream had $872.0 million of available capacity under the CMLP Credit Facility considering the most restrictive debt covenants in the credit agreement. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, outstanding standby letters of credit under the CMLP Credit Facility were $5.7 million and $8.2 million. Borrowings under the CMLP Credit Facility accrue interest at either prime or the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the credit agreement) plus applicable spreads, which resulted in interest rates between 7.67% and 9.75% at September 30, 2023 and 6.28% and 8.50% at December 31, 2022. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was 7.68% and 6.40%.

CPBH Credit Facility. In conjunction with the acquisition of the remaining 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian in July 2022, we assumed a credit agreement entered into by CPB Subsidiary Holdings LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crestwood Permian (the CPBH Credit Facility). In January 2023, we utilized borrowings under the CMLP Credit Facility to repay and terminate the CPBH Credit Facility.

Senior Notes

2031 Senior Notes. In January 2023, Crestwood Midstream issued $600 million of 7.375% unsecured senior notes due 2031 (the 2031 Senior Notes). The 2031 Senior Notes will mature on February 1, 2031, and interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2023. The net proceeds from this offering of approximately $592.5 million were used to repay borrowings outstanding under the CMLP Credit Facility.

Legal Proceedings

Linde Lawsuit. On December 23, 2019, Linde Engineering North America Inc. (Linde) filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Harris County, Texas alleging that Arrow Field Services, LLC, our consolidated subsidiary, and Crestwood Midstream breached a contract entered into in March 2018 under which Linde was to provide engineering, procurement and construction services to us related to the completion of the construction of the Bear Den II cryogenic processing plant.

A jury trial concluded on June 17, 2022, and a final judgement was entered on October 24, 2022. The final judgment includes an award of damages of approximately $20.7 million, a pre-judgement interest award of approximately $17.7 million and attorney fees and other costs of approximately $4.7 million. We have insurance coverage related to certain pre-judgement interest awards but have not recorded a receivable related to any potential insurance recovery at September 30, 2023. On January 9, 2023, we paid approximately $21.2 million to the Court Registry under protest to mitigate the impact of post-judgement interest. We filed a Notice of Appeal on January 13, 2023 and an Opening Appeal Brief on September 29, 2023. We are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the appeal related to this matter.

General. We are periodically involved in litigation proceedings. If we determine that a negative outcome is probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable, then we accrue the estimated amount. The results of litigation proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. We could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters, and such developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the amounts are paid and/or accrued. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had approximately $8.9 million and $35.0 million accrued for outstanding legal matters. Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures for which we can estimate will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.

Any loss estimates are inherently subjective, based on currently available information, and are subject to management’s judgment and various assumptions. Due to the inherently subjective nature of these estimates and the uncertainty and unpredictability surrounding the outcome of legal proceedings, actual results may differ materially from any amounts that have been accrued.

Regulatory Compliance

In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to various laws and regulations. In the opinion of our management, compliance with current laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Environmental Compliance

Our operations are subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to worker health, safety, and the environment. We are subject to laws and regulations at the federal, state, regional and local levels that relate to air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste management and disposal, and other environmental matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing and operating our facilities must incorporate compliance with environmental laws and regulations and safety standards. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures. At both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our accrual for environmental matters was less than $1.0 million and our potential exposure related to environmental matters was less than $1.0 million at September 30, 2023.

Table of Contents

Self-Insurance

We utilize third-party insurance subject to varying retention levels of self-insurance, which management considers prudent. Such self-insurance relates to losses and liabilities primarily associated with medical claims, workers’ compensation claims and general, product, vehicle and environmental liability. Losses are accrued based upon management’s estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred using certain assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on past experience. The primary assumption utilized is actuarially determined loss development factors. The loss development factors are based primarily on historical data. Our self-insurance reserves could be affected if future claim developments differ from the historical trends. We believe changes in health care costs, trends in health care claims of our employee base, accident frequency and severity and other factors could materially affect the estimate for these liabilities. We continually monitor changes in employee demographics, incident and claim type and evaluate our insurance accruals and adjust our accruals based on our evaluation of these qualitative data points. We are liable for the development of claims for our previously disposed of retail propane operations, provided they were reported prior to August 1, 2012. The following table summarizes CEQP’s and CMLP’s self-insurance reserves (in millions):


	CEQP				CMLP
	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022		September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Self-insurance reserves(1)	$	5.7	$	5.6	$	5.0	$	4.8

(1)At September 30, 2023, CEQP and CMLP classified approximately $3.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, of these reserves as other long-term liabilities on their consolidated balance sheets.

Indemnifications

We periodically provide indemnification arrangements related to assets or businesses we have sold. Our potential exposure under indemnification arrangements can range from a specified amount to an unlimited amount, depending on the nature of the claim, specificity as to duration, and the particular transaction. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have no amounts accrued for these indemnifications.

Other. During March 2022, we exercised an option to purchase crude oil railcars under certain of our finance leases as a result of our plan to exit our crude oil railcar operations. In April 2022, we sold the crude oil railcars to a third party for approximately $24.7 million and we recognized a loss on the sale of approximately $4.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Note 11 – Partners’ Capital and Non-Controlling Partner

Common Units

On February 1, 2022, we completed the merger with Oasis Midstream. Pursuant to the merger agreement, Chord received cash and approximately 20.9 million newly issued CEQP common units in exchange for its common units held in Oasis Midstream. In addition, Oasis Midstream’s public unitholders received approximately 12.9 million newly issued CEQP common units in exchange for the Oasis Midstream common units held by them.

Crestwood Midstream

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Crestwood Midstream paid cash distributions of $264.8 million and $537.6 million to its partners.

On February 1, 2022, Crestwood Midstream received a non-cash contribution of approximately $1,075.1 million from Crestwood Equity related to net assets it acquired in conjunction with the merger with Oasis Midstream.

In addition, Crestwood Equity contributed the cash acquired in conjunction with this acquisition of approximately $149.4 million to Crestwood Midstream.

For a further discussion of these acquisitions, see Note 3.

Non-Controlling Partner

Crestwood Niobrara LLC (Crestwood Niobrara) issued preferred interests to CN Jackalope Holdings LLC (Jackalope Holdings), which are reflected as non-controlling interest in subsidiary apart from partners’ capital (i.e., temporary equity) on our consolidated balance sheets. We adjust the carrying amount of our non-controlling interest to its liquidation value each period through net income attributable to non-controlling partner.

In July 2023, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement with Jackalope Holdings to modify certain provisions related to the conversion and redemption of the Crestwood Niobrara preferred units. In conjunction with the merger agreement we entered into with Energy Transfer in August 2023 which is further discussed in Note 1, the Crestwood Niobrara preferred units became currently redeemable and as a result, we reflected the Crestwood Niobrara preferred units at their Change of Control Redemption Price (as defined in the agreement) which is equal to 105% of the liquidation value.

The following tables show the change in our non-controlling interest in subsidiary at September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions):


Balance at December 31, 2022	$	434.4

Distributions to non-controlling partner	(31.0)
Net income attributable to non-controlling partner(1)	52.6
Balance at September 30, 2023	$	456.0


Balance at December 31, 2021	$	434.6

Distributions to non-controlling partner	(31.0)
Net income attributable to non-controlling partner	30.8
Balance at September 30, 2022	$	434.4

(1)Includes approximately $21.7 million recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2023 to reflect the Crestwood Niobrara preferred units at their maximum redemption value as discussed above.

In October 2023, Crestwood Niobrara paid a cash distribution of approximately $10.3 million to Jackalope Holdings with respect to the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Other

In February 2023, Crestwood Equity issued 245,929 performance units (the February 2023 Units) under the Crestwood Equity Partners LP 2018 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Crestwood LTIP). The performance units are designed to provide an incentive for continuous employment to certain key employees. The vesting of performance units is subject to the attainment of certain performance and market goals over a three-year period, and entitle a participant to receive common units of Crestwood Equity without payment of an exercise price upon vesting. As of September 30, 2023, we had total unamortized compensation expense

Table of Contents

of approximately $4.5 million related to the February 2023 Units. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized compensation expense of $0.5 million and $1.9 million related to the February 2023 Units, which is included in general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 161,278 performance units that were previously issued in 2020 under the Crestwood LTIP vested, and as a result of the attainment of certain performance and market goals and related distributions during the three years that the awards were outstanding, we issued 217,702 common units during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to those performance units.

Note 12 - Earnings Per Limited Partner Unit

We calculate the dilutive effect of the preferred units and Crestwood Niobrara preferred units using the if-converted method which assumes units are converted at the beginning of the period (beginning with their respective issuance date), and the resulting common units are included in the denominator of the diluted net income per common unit calculation for the period being presented. Distributions declared in the period and undeclared distributions that accumulated during the period are added back to the numerator for purposes of the if-converted calculation. The dilutive effect of the unit-based compensation performance units is calculated using the treasury stock method which considers the impact to net income or loss attributable to Crestwood Equity Partners and limited partner units from the potential issuance of limited partner units.

We exclude potentially dilutive securities from the determination of diluted earnings per unit (as well as their related income statement impacts) when their impact is anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes information regarding the weighted-average of common units excluded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions):


	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	September 30,		September 30,

Note 13 – Segments

Our financial statements reflect three operating and reporting segments: (i) gathering and processing north operations; (ii) gathering and processing south operations; and (iii) storage and logistics operations. Our corporate operations include all general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to our reportable segments.

Below is a description of our operating and reporting segments.

•Gathering and Processing North. Our gathering and processing north operations provide natural gas gathering, compression, treating and processing services, crude oil gathering and storage services and produced water gathering and disposal services to producers in the Williston Basin and Powder River Basin.

•Gathering and Processing South. Our gathering and processing south operations provide natural gas gathering, compression, treating and processing services, crude oil gathering services and produced water gathering and disposal services to producers in the Delaware Basin.

•Storage and Logistics. Our storage and logistics operations provide NGLs, crude oil and natural gas storage, terminal, marketing and transportation (including rail, truck and pipeline) services to producers, refiners, marketers, utilities and other customers.

We assess the performance of our operating segments based on EBITDA, which is identified as income (loss) before debt-related costs (interest and debt expense, net), income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Below is a reconciliation of CEQP’s and CMLP’s net income to EBITDA (in millions):

Note 14 - Revenues

Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

Our contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Our receivables related to our revenue contracts accounted for under Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) totaled $336.5 million and $368.2 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and are included in accounts receivable on our consolidated balance sheets. Our contract assets are included in other non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Our contract liabilities primarily consist of current and non-current deferred revenues. On our consolidated balance sheets, our current deferred revenues are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities and our non-current deferred revenues are included in other long-term liabilities. The majority of revenues associated with our deferred revenues is expected to be recognized as the performance obligations under the related contracts are satisfied over the next 14 years.

The following table summarizes our contract assets and contract liabilities (in millions):


	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Contract assets (non-current)	$	6.8	$	5.4
Contract liabilities (current)(1)	$	20.3	$	11.7
Contract liabilities (non-current)(1)	$	207.4	$	212.3

(1)During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized revenues of approximately $4.5 million and $14.9 million that were previously included in contract liabilities at December 31, 2022. The remaining change in our contract liabilities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 is related to capital reimbursements associated with our revenue contracts and revenue deferrals associated with our contracts with increasing (decreasing) rates.

The following table summarizes the transaction price allocated to our remaining performance obligations under certain contracts that have not been recognized as of September 30, 2023 (in millions):


Remainder of 2023	$	16.5
2024	46.4
2025	6.5
2026	4.9
2027	2.1
Thereafter	1.1
Total	$	77.5

Our remaining performance obligations presented in the table above exclude estimates of variable rate escalation clauses in our contracts with customers, and is generally limited to fixed-fee and percentage-of-proceeds service contracts which have fixed pricing and minimum volume terms and conditions. Our remaining performance obligations generally exclude, based on the following practical expedients that we elected to apply, disclosures for (i) variable consideration allocated to a wholly-unsatisfied promise to transfer a distinct service that forms part of the identified single performance obligation; (ii) unsatisfied performance obligations where the contract term is one year or less; and (iii) contracts for which we recognize revenues as amounts are invoiced.

Disaggregation of Revenues

The following tables summarize our revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated by type of product/service sold and by commodity type for each of our segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions). We believe this summary best depicts how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Our non-Topic 606 revenues presented in the tables below primarily represents revenues related to our commodity-based derivatives.

•industry factors that influence the demand for services in the markets (particularly unconventional shale plays) in which we provide services;

•weather conditions;

•outbreak of illness, pandemic or any other public health crisis, including the COVID-19 pandemic;

•the availability of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, and the price of those commodities, to consumers relative to the price of alternative and competing fuels;

•the availability of storage and transportation infrastructure for hydrocarbons;

•the ability of members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil-producing countries to agree and maintain oil price and production controls;

Recent Developments

On November 3, 2023, Crestwood Equity is expected to merge with and into a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Energy Transfer LP (Energy Transfer) in an all-equity transaction valued at approximately $7.1 billion (the Energy Transfer Merger). On August 16, 2023, Crestwood Equity entered into a merger agreement with Energy Transfer pursuant to which each Crestwood Equity common unit representing limited partner interests in Crestwood Equity issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Energy Transfer Merger will be converted into the right to receive 2.07 common units representing limited partner

interests in Energy Transfer. Each preferred unit representing limited partner interests in Crestwood Equity issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Energy Transfer Merger will, at the election of the holder of such preferred unit, be (i) converted into a preferred unit of Energy Transfer that has substantially similar terms, including with respect to economics and structural protections, as the preferred units of Crestwood Equity, (ii) redeemed in exchange for cash, at a price of 108% of the preferred unit price plus accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of such redemption, or (iii) converted into common units, at the then-applicable conversion ratio (one common unit for 10 preferred), subject to the payment of any accrued but unpaid distributions prior to Energy Transfer Merger. In connection with the Energy Transfer Merger and at the direction of Energy Transfer, Crestwood Equity conducted a consent solicitation pursuant to which Crestwood Equity solicited consent from the preferred unitholders to approve an amendment to its Sixth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership. Pursuant to the proposed amendment, among other things, (i) the preferred unitholders electing a cash redemption in the Energy Transfer Merger would receive such cash redemption price as increased from 101% to 108% of the preferred unit price; and (ii) the preferred unitholders electing to receive preferred units of Energy Transfer would receive such preferred units of Energy Transfer with terms similar to Energy Transfer’s other outstanding series of preferred units. Crestwood Equity received the consents from the preferred unitholders necessary to approve the proposed amendment and therefore, the proposed amendment will be adopted at the closing of the Energy Transfer Merger.

CEQP is a publicly-traded Delaware limited partnership, and its common units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol “CEQP” and its preferred units are listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “CEQP-P.” In connection with the consummation of the Energy Transfer Merger, we requested that the NYSE delist our common and preferred units and, as a result, trading of our common and preferred units will be suspended on November 3, 2023. We also requested that the NYSE file a Form 25 with the SEC notifying the SEC of the delisting of our common and preferred units and the withdrawal of registration of our common and preferred units under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. Following the effectiveness of the Form 25, we intend to file with the SEC a Form 15 regarding the termination of registration of our common and preferred units under the Exchange Act and the suspension of reporting obligations with respect to our common and preferred units.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

We evaluate our overall business performance based primarily on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We do not utilize depreciation, amortization and accretion expense in our key measures because we focus our performance management on cash flow generation and our assets have long useful lives.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA - We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are widely accepted financial indicators of a company’s operational performance and its ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to our investors because it allows them to use the same performance measure analyzed internally by our management to evaluate the performance of our businesses and investments without regard to the manner in which they are financed or our capital structure. EBITDA is defined as income (loss) before debt-related costs (interest and debt expense, net), income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Adjusted EBITDA considers the adjusted earnings impact of our unconsolidated affiliates by adjusting our equity earnings or losses from our unconsolidated affiliates to reflect our proportionate share (based on the distribution percentage) of their EBITDA, excluding gains and losses on long-lived assets and other impairments. Adjusted EBITDA also considers the impact of certain significant items, such as unit-based compensation, gains or losses on long-lived assets, third-party costs incurred related to potential and completed acquisitions, certain environmental remediation costs, the change in fair value of commodity inventory-related derivative contracts, costs associated with the realignment and restructuring of our operations and corporate structure, and other transactions identified in a specific reporting period. The change in fair value of commodity inventory-related derivative contracts is considered in determining Adjusted EBITDA given that the timing of recognizing gains and losses on these derivative contracts differs from the recognition of revenue for the related underlying sale of inventory to which these derivatives relate. Changes in the fair value of other derivative contracts are not considered in determining Adjusted EBITDA given the relatively short-term nature of those derivative contracts. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as they do not include deductions for expenses such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, interest and income taxes, which are necessary to maintain our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations may vary among entities, so our computation may not be comparable to measures used by other companies. See our reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in “Results of Operations” below.

For a further discussion of this transaction, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 3.

Gathering and Processing North

EBITDA for our gathering and processing north segment decreased by approximately $11.8 million and $28.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. Our gathering and processing north segment’s revenues decreased by approximately $81.1 million and $260.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, while our costs of product/services sold decreased by approximately $71.8 million and $238.9 million during those same periods. These decreases were primarily driven by declines in commodity prices experienced during 2023 compared to 2022.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, our Arrow operations experienced lower average commodity prices on natural gas, NGLs and crude oil it purchases and sells pursuant to its agreements, which decreased by more than 50%, 30% and 20%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, and largely contributed to the decrease in our gathering and processing north segment’s revenues and costs of product/services sold period over period. We manage our company-wide oil, natural gas and NGL commodity exposures through price risk management activities conducted by our storage and logistics segment, which is further described under Storage and Logistics below. In addition, Arrow’s natural gas gathering and processing volumes both decreased by approximately 10% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. These decreases were primarily due to downtime experienced by our producer customers related to maintenance and completion activity associated with new well connections and unusual weather conditions experienced at the end of 2022 and into early 2023.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, our Rough Rider operations also experienced a decrease in its revenues and costs of product/services sold compared to the same periods in 2022, which was partially offset by an increase in its natural gas gathering and processing volumes and its crude oil and water gathering volumes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our Rough Rider operations experienced an increase in its natural gas gathering and processing volumes of approximately 10% and 6% respectively, compared to the same period in 2022 due to the full contribution from these operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our Rough Rider operations’ crude oil and water gathering volumes increased by approximately 71% and 28%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2022. These increases were due primarily to placing in service a three-product gathering system, increased activity from our producer customers related to new well connections and the full contribution from these operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Our gathering and processing north segment’s operations and maintenance expenses increased by approximately $2.5 million and $7.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to our Rough Rider operations acquired in conjunction with the merger with Oasis Midstream in February 2022.

Gathering and Processing South

EBITDA for CMLP’s gathering and processing south segment increased by approximately $159.6 million and $236.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. CMLP’s gathering and processing south segment’s EBITDA during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was impacted by the CPJV Acquisition as well as the divestitures of our operations in the Barnett and Marcellus Shales described below. For a further discussion of these transactions, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 3.

Our gathering and processing south segment’s revenues and costs of product/services sold decreased by approximately $139.7 million and $128.5 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. These decreases were primarily driven by the divestiture of our Marcellus operations in late 2022 and by lower average commodity prices experienced by our gathering and processing south segment on its natural gas gathering agreements compared to the same period in 2022. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, our gathering and processing south segment’s operations and maintenance expenses were relatively flat compared to the same period in 2022.

Our gathering and processing south segment’s revenues, costs of product/services sold and operations and maintenance expenses increased by approximately $111.3 million, $80.2 million and $16.6 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. These increases were primarily driven by the impact of the Sendero Acquisition and the CPJV Acquisition in July 2022, which increased our gathering and processing south segment’s revenues, costs of product/services sold and operations and maintenance expenses by approximately $175.0 million, $77.2 million, and $31.5 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, CMLP recognized a gain of approximately $75 million related to the CPJV Acquisition.

Partially offsetting the increases described above were the divestitures of our Barnett and Marcellus legacy, non-core operations during 2022, which decreased our gathering and processing south segment’s revenues and operations and maintenance expenses by approximately $68.6 million and $16.4 million, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, CMLP recorded a loss on long-lived assets related to the Barnett and Marcellus divestitures of approximately $53 million and $248 million, respectively.

Also impacting CMLP’s gathering and processing south segment’s EBITDA during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was a loss on long-lived assets of approximately $7.0 million related to the sale of parts inventory related to our legacy Granite Wash operations.

CMLP’s gathering and processing south segment’s EBITDA was also impacted by a decrease in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates of approximately $0.9 million and $7.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to the consolidation of our Crestwood Permian equity investment as a result of acquiring the remaining 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian in July 2022.

EBITDA for CEQP’s gathering and processing south segment increased by approximately $87.9 million and $111.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022. The change in CEQP’s gathering and processing south segment’s EBITDA period over period was due to the factors discussed above for CMLP. However, CEQP did not record a loss on long-lived assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to the divestiture of our Barnett operations due to historical impairments previously recorded by CEQP on Barnett’s long-lived assets. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, CEQP recorded a gain on the Barnett divestiture of approximately $72 million.

Storage and Logistics

EBITDA for our storage and logistics segment decreased by approximately $23.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, while our storage and logistics segment’s EBITDA increased by approximately $129.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. Our storage and logistics segment’s EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was impacted by a $132 million increase to the equity earnings from our Tres Holdings equity method investment as a result of recording a gain on the sale of the equity method investment as further discussed below.

Table of Contents

Our storage and logistics segment’s revenues decreased by $205.8 million and $1,025.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, and our costs of product/services sold decreased by $184.9 million and $1,022.1 million during those same periods.

Our NGL marketing and logistics operations experienced a decrease in revenues of approximately $160.4 million and $681.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same periods in 2022, and a decrease in costs of product/services sold of approximately $137.1 million and $683.1 million during those same periods. These decreases were primarily driven by lower NGL prices during 2023 compared to 2022. Included in our costs of product/services sold was a loss of $18.0 million and a gain of $13.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and a gain of $45.0 million and a loss of $6.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 related to our price risk management activities, which were also driven by the volatility in commodity prices described above.

Our crude oil and natural gas marketing operations experienced a decrease in its revenues of approximately $45.4 million and $343.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same periods in 2022, and a decrease in product costs of approximately $47.8 million and $339.1 million during those same periods. These decreases were primarily driven by lower crude oil purchases and sales as a result of decreases in commodity prices during 2023 compared to 2022.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, our storage and logistics segment’s EBITDA was impacted by a loss on long-lived assets of approximately $2.6 million primarily related to the sale of our transportation assets in August 2023. Also impacting our storage and logistics segment’s EBITDA during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was a loss on long-lived assets of approximately $4.1 million primarily due to the buyout of leases related to our exiting the crude oil railcar leasing business.

Our storage and logistics segment’s EBITDA was also impacted by a net increase in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates of approximately $130.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. On April 3, 2023, we and Brookfield sold our respective interests in Tres Holdings to a subsidiary of Enbridge, Inc. We recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $132 million, which we reflected as an increase to the equity earnings from our Tres Holding equity method investment. For a further discussion of the sale of our Tres Holding equity investment, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 5.

Other EBITDA Results

General and Administrative Expenses. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, our general and administrative expenses decreased compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to transactions costs incurred in connection with our strategic transactions executed during 2022.

Items not affecting EBITDA include the following:

Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion Expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, CMLP’s and CEQP’s depreciation, amortization and accretion expense decreased by approximately $6.7 million compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the divestiture of our Marcellus operations in late 2022, partially offset by our acquisitions of Sendero and Crestwood Permian in July 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, CMLP’s depreciation, amortization and accretion expense decreased by approximately $5.5 million, primarily due to the divestitures of our legacy Barnett and Marcellus operations in 2022, partially offset by our acquisitions during 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, CEQP’s depreciation, amortization and accretion expense was relatively flat. For a further discussion of our acquisitions and divestitures during 2022, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 3.

Interest and Debt Expense, Net. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, our interest and debt expense, net increased by approximately $9.3 million and $44.1 million compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to the 2031 Senior Notes issued in January 2023 and higher interest rates on borrowings under the CMLP Credit Facility during 2023 compared to 2022.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Crestwood Equity is a holding company that derives all of its operating cash flow from its operating subsidiaries. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash generated by operating activities from our subsidiaries, distributions from our joint ventures, borrowings under the CMLP credit facility, and sales of equity and debt securities. Our equity investments use cash from their respective operations and contributions from us to fund their operating activities and maintenance and growth capital expenditures.

We pay quarterly cash distributions to our common unitholders within approximately 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter in an aggregate amount equal to our available cash for such quarter. On October 12, 2023, the board of directors of our general partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.655 per unit to our common unitholders with respect to the quarter ended September 30, 2023. In addition, the board of directors declared a special cash distribution of $0.003 per limited partner unit in conjunction with the Energy Transfer Merger. We also pay quarterly cash distributions to our preferred unitholders, and on October 12, 2023, the board of directors of our general partner declared a cash distribution of approximately $15 million with respect to the quarter ended September 30, 2023. In addition, the board of directors declared a special cash distribution of $0.0003 per preferred unit in conjunction with the Energy Transfer Merger. The cash distributions related to our common and preferred unitholders were paid on October 31, 2023 to common and preferred unitholders of record on October 23, 2023.

We pay quarterly cash distributions of approximately $10 million to Crestwood Niobrara’s non-controlling partner. In conjunction with the merger agreement we entered into with Energy Transfer in August 2023, the Crestwood Niobrara preferred units became currently redeemable and as a result, we reflected the Crestwood Niobrara preferred units at their Change of Control Redemption Price (as defined in the agreement ), which is equal to 105% of the liquidation value. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded an increase of approximately $22 million to net income attributable to non-controlling partner to reflect the Crestwood Niobrara preferred units at their maximum liquidation value.

As of September 30, 2023, we had $872.0 million of available capacity under the Crestwood Midstream credit facility, considering the most restrictive debt covenants in the credit agreement. As of September 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants applicable to our credit facility and senior notes. See Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 8 for a description of the covenants related to our credit facility.

In January 2023, Crestwood Midstream issued $600 million of 7.375% unsecured senior notes due 2031 (the 2031 Senior Notes). We used the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 Senior Notes to repay borrowings under the Crestwood Midstream credit facility and to repay all outstanding borrowings under the Crestwood Permian credit facility, which was terminated in January 2023. In April 2023, we sold our 50% equity interest in Tres Holdings for approximately $178 million, including working capital adjustments, and we used the proceeds from the sale to repay amounts outstanding under the Crestwood Midstream credit facility.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	21.4	$	(517.2)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	(383.6)	$	233.0

Operating Activities

Our cash flows from operating activities increased by approximately $101.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The net increase was primarily driven by our gathering and processing operations acquired in the Delaware Basin during 2022, partially offset by a reduction in operating cash flows from our Barnett and Marcellus operations which were divested during 2022. In addition, our general and administrative expenses decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to transaction costs incurred in connection with our strategic transactions executed during 2022.

Investing Activities

Capital Expenditures. The energy midstream business is capital intensive, requiring significant investments for the acquisition or development of new facilities. We categorize our capital expenditures as either:

•growth capital expenditures, which are made to construct additional assets, expand and upgrade existing systems, or acquire additional assets; or

•maintenance capital expenditures, which are made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets, to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets, extend their useful lives or comply with regulatory requirements.

Our growth and reimbursable capital expenditures during the year increase the services we can provide to our customers and the operating efficiencies of our systems. Additional commitments or expenditures are made at the discretion of management, and any discontinuation of the construction of these projects could result in less future operating cash flows and earnings.

The following table summarizes our capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (in millions):


Growth capital(1)	$	130.9
Maintenance capital	21.9
Other(2)	11.2
Purchases of property, plant and equipment	$	164.0

(1)Includes payments of approximately $21 million related to litigation on the construction of the Bear Den II cryogenic processing plant.

(2)Represents purchases of property, plant and equipment that are reimbursable by third parties.

Acquisitions and Divestitures.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2023, Crestwood Equity and Crestwood Midstream carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of their respective management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of their General Partners, as to the effectiveness, design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Crestwood Equity and Crestwood Midstream maintain controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in their respective reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC, and that information is accumulated and communicated to their respective management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of their General Partners, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Such management,

Table of Contents

including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of their General Partners, does not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or the internal controls will prevent and/or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Crestwood Equity’s and Crestwood Midstream’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of their General Partners concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2023.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in Crestwood Equity’s or Crestwood Midstream’s internal control over financial reporting during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect Crestwood Equity’s or Crestwood Midstream’s internal control over financial reporting.
