- Southwest’s and MountainWest’s liquidity, and in certain circumstances our earnings, may be reduced from historical amounts or expectations during periods in which natural gas prices are rising significantly or are more volatile.
- Southwest’s earnings may be materially impacted due to volatility in the cash surrender value of our company-owned life insurance policies during periods in which stock market changes are significant.

- Southwest may not be able to rely on rate decoupling to maintain stable financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
- Southwest and MountainWest may be subject to increased costs related to the operation of natural gas pipelines under recent regulations concerning natural gas pipeline safety, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and/or cash flows.
- Our delivery and related systems require numerous permits and other approvals from various federal, state, and local governmental agencies, and others to operate its business, including for pipeline expansion or infrastructure development; any failure to obtain or maintain required permits or approvals, or other factors that could prevent or delay planned development, could negatively affect our business and results of operations.
