2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2016-15 “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” or ASU 2016-15 - In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, which amends certain cash flow statement classification guidance. We intend to adopt this ASU for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this ASU will have no impact on our condensed consolidated cash flows.

FASB ASU, 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842),” or ASU 2016-02 - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability on a discounted basis and the right of use of a specified asset at the commencement date for all leases. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with the option to early adopt for financial statements that have not been issued. We are currently evaluating the potential impact this standard will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

FASB ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” or ASU 2014-09and related interpretations and amendments- In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition.” This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with the option to adopt as early as annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We plan to adopt this ASU using the modified retrospective method. The initial cumulative effect will be recognized at the date of adoption. Our evaluation of ASU 2014-09 is ongoing and not complete. The FASB has issued and may issue in the future, interpretative guidance, which may cause our evaluation to change. Accordingly, at this time we cannot estimate the impact upon adoption.

3. Acquisitions
On January 1, 2017, DCP Midstream, LLC contributed to us: (i) its ownership interests in all of its subsidiaries owning operating assets, and (ii) $424 million of cash (together the “Contributions”).

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, DCP Midstream, LLC agreed to cause the General Partner to enter into Amendment No. 3 (the “Third Amendment to the Partnership Agreement”) to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, dated November 1, 2006, as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”). The Third Amendment to the Partnership Agreement includes terms that amend the Partnership Agreement to cause the incentive distributions payable to the holders of the Partnership’s incentive distribution rights with respect to the fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019 to, in certain circumstances, be reduced in an amount up to $100 million per fiscal year as necessary to provide that the distributable cash flow of the Partnership (as adjusted) during such year meets or exceeds the amount of distributions made by the Partnership (as adjusted) to the partners of the Partnership with respect to such year.

4. Dispositions

In June 2017, we closed a transaction with Tallgrass Midstream, LLC to sell our 100% interest in our Douglas gathering system, which primarily consisted of approximately 1,500 miles of gathering lines within our Gathering and Processing segment, for approximately $129 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. We recognized a gain of approximately $34 million, net of goodwill allocation, in the second quarter of 2017.

8. Goodwill

We performed our annual goodwill assessment during the third quarter of 2017 at the reporting unit level, which is identified by assessing whether the components of our operating segments constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available, whether segment management regularly reviews the operating results of those components and whether the economic and regulatory characteristics are similar. As a result of our assessment, we concluded that the fair value of goodwill substantially exceeded its carrying value in our North reporting unit, the only reporting unit allocated goodwill included within our Gathering and Processing reportable segment and in our Marysville reporting unit included within our Logistics and Marketing reportable segment. For our Wholesale Propane reporting unit, which is included in our Logistics and Marketing reportable segment, the fair value exceeded the carrying value (including approximately $37 million of allocated goodwill) by less than 10%. We concluded that the entire amount of goodwill disclosed on the condensed consolidated balance sheet is recoverable.

We primarily used a discounted cash flow analysis, supplemented by a market approach analysis, to perform the assessment. Key assumptions in the analysis include the use of an appropriate discount rate, terminal year multiples, and estimated future cash flows, including an estimate of operating and general and administrative costs. In estimating cash flows, we incorporate current market information (including forecasted volumes and commodity prices), as well as historical and other factors. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates, or our assumptions and estimates change due to new information, we may be exposed to goodwill impairment charges, which would be recognized in the period in which the carrying value exceeds fair value.

We expect that the fair value of our Wholesale Propane reporting unit will continue to exceed carrying value so long as our estimate of future cash flows and the market valuation remain consistent with current levels. A continued period of volatile propane prices could result in further deterioration of market multiples, comparable sales transactions prices, weighted average costs of capital, and our cash flow estimates. Changes to any one or combination of these factors, would result in changes to the reporting unit fair values discussed above which could lead to future impairment charges. Such potential impairment could have a material effect on our results of operations.

10.7. Fair Value Measurement
Determination of Fair Value
Below is a general description of our valuation methodologies for derivative financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value. Fair values are generally based upon quoted market prices or prices obtained through external sources, where available. If listed market prices or quotes are not available, we determine fair value based upon a market quote, adjusted by other market-based or independently sourced market data such as historical commodity volatilities, crude oil future yield curves, and/or counterparty specific considerations. These adjustments result in a fair value for each asset or liability under an “exit price” methodology, in line with how we believe a marketplace participant would value that asset or liability. Fair values are adjusted to reflect the credit risk inherent in the transaction as well as the potential impact of liquidating open positions in an orderly manner over a reasonable time period under current conditions. These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the effect of our own creditworthiness, and/or the liquidity of the market.
Counterparty credit valuation adjustments are necessary when the market price of an instrument is not indicative of the fair value as a result of the credit quality of the counterparty. Generally, market quotes assume that all counterparties have near zero, or low, default rates and have equal credit quality. Therefore, an adjustment may be necessary to reflect
DCP MIDSTREAM, LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 - (Continued)
(Unaudited)

the credit quality of a specific counterparty to determine the fair value of the instrument. We record counterparty credit valuation adjustments on all derivatives that are in a net asset position as of the measurement date in accordance with our established counterparty credit policy, which takes into account any collateral margin that a counterparty may have posted with us as well as any letters of credit that they have provided.
Entity valuation adjustments are necessary to reflect the effect of our own credit quality on the fair value of our net liability positions with each counterparty. This adjustment takes into account any credit enhancements, such as collateral margin we may have posted with a counterparty, as well as any letters of credit that we have provided. The methodology to determine this adjustment is consistent with how we evaluate counterparty credit risk, taking into account our own credit rating, current credit spreads, as well as any change in such spreads since the last measurement date.
Liquidity valuation adjustments are necessary when we are not able to observe a recent market price for financial instruments that trade in less active markets for the fair value to reflect the cost of exiting the position. Exchange traded contracts are valued at market value without making any additional valuation adjustments and, therefore, no liquidity reserve is applied. For contracts other than exchange traded instruments, we mark our positions to the midpoint of the bid/ask spread, and record a liquidity reserve based upon our total net position. We believe that such practice results in the most reliable fair value measurement as viewed by a market participant.
We manage our derivative instruments on a portfolio basis and the valuation adjustments described above are calculated on this basis. We believe that the portfolio level approach represents the highest and best use for these assets as there are benefits inherent in naturally offsetting positions within the portfolio at any given time, and this approach is consistent with how a market participant would view and value the assets and liabilities. Although we take a portfolio approach to managing these assets/liabilities, in order to reflect the fair value of any one individual contract within the portfolio, we allocate all valuation adjustments down to the contract level, to the extent deemed necessary, based upon either the notional contract volume, or the contract value, whichever is more applicable.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While we believe that our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, we recognize that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. We review our fair value policies on a regular basis taking into consideration changes in the marketplace and, if necessary, will adjust our policies accordingly. See Note 12 - Risk Management and Hedging Activities.
Valuation Hierarchy
Our fair value measurements are grouped into a three-level valuation hierarchy and are categorized in their entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows.
Level 1 — inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 — inputs are unobservable and considered significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based upon the level of judgment involved in the most significant input in the determination of the instrument’s fair value. Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the hierarchy.

Commodity Derivative Assets and Liabilities

We enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments, which may include exchange traded instruments (such as New York Mercantile Exchange, or NYMEX, crude oil or natural gas futures) or over-the-counter, or OTC, instruments (such as natural gas contracts, crude oil or NGL swaps). The exchange traded instruments are generally executed with a highly rated broker dealer serving as the clearinghouse for individual transactions.

Our activities expose us to varying degrees of commodity price risk. To mitigate a portion of this risk and to manage commodity price risk related primarily to owned natural gas storage and pipeline assets, we engage in natural gas asset based trading and marketing, and we may enter into natural gas and crude oil derivatives to lock in a specific margin when market conditions are favorable. A portion of this may be accomplished through the use of exchange traded derivative contracts. Such instruments are generally classified as Level 1 since the value is equal to the quoted market price of the exchange traded instrument as of our balance sheet date, and no adjustments are required. Depending upon market conditions and our strategy we may enter into exchange traded derivative positions with a significant time horizon to maturity. Although such instruments are exchange traded, market prices may only be readily observable for a portion of the duration of the instrument. In order to calculate the fair value of these instruments, readily observable market information is utilized to the extent it is available; however, in the event that readily observable market data is not available, we may interpolate or extrapolate based upon observable data. In instances where we utilize an interpolated or extrapolated value, and it is considered significant to the valuation of the contract as a whole, we would classify the instrument within Level 3.

We also engage in the business of trading energy related products and services, which exposes us to market variables and commodity price risk. We may enter into physical contracts or financial instruments with the objective of realizing a positive margin from the purchase and sale of these commodity-based instruments. We may enter into derivative instruments for NGLs or other energy related products, primarily using the OTC derivative instrument markets, which are not as active and liquid as exchange traded instruments. Market quotes for such contracts may only be available for short dated positions (up to six months), and an active market itself may not exist beyond such time horizon. Contracts entered into with a relatively short time horizon for which prices are readily observable in the OTC market are generally classified within Level 2. Contracts entered into with a longer time horizon, for which prices are not readily observable in the OTC marketwe internally generate a forward curve to value such instruments, are generally classified within Level 3. The internally generated curve may utilize a variety of assumptions including, but not limited to, data obtained from third-party pricing services, historical and future expected relationship of NGL prices to crude oil prices, the knowledge of expected supply sources coming online, expected weather trends within certain regions of the United States, and the future expected demand for NGLs.
Each instrument is assigned to a level within the hierarchy at the end of each financial quarter depending upon the extent to which the valuation inputs are observable. Generally, an instrument will move toward a level within the hierarchy that requires a lower degree of judgment as the time to maturity approaches, and as the markets in which the asset trades will likely become more liquid and prices more readily available in the market, thus reducing the need to rely upon our internally developed assumptions. However, the level of a given instrument may change, in either direction, depending upon market conditions and the availability of market observable data.
Interest Rate Derivative Assets and Liabilities

We periodically use interest rate swap agreements as part of our overall capital strategy. These instruments effectively exchange a portion of our fixed-rate debt for floating rate debt or floating rate debt for fixed-rate debt. The swaps are generally priced based upon a London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, instrument with similar duration, adjusted by the credit spread between our company and the LIBOR instrument. Given that a portion of the swap value is derived from the credit spread, which may be observed by comparing similar assets in the market, these instruments are classified within Level 2. Default risk on either side of the swap transaction is also considered in the valuation. We record counterparty credit and entity valuation adjustments in the valuation of interest rate swaps; however, these reserves are not considered to be a significant input to the overall valuation.
Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities
We utilize fair value to perform impairment tests as required on our property, plant and equipment, goodwill, and other long-lived intangible assets. Assets and liabilities acquired in third party business combinations are recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition. The inputs used to determine such fair value are primarily based upon internally developed cash flow models and would generally be classified within Level 3 in the event that we were required to measure and record such assets at fair value within our condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, we use fair value to determine the inception value of our asset retirement obligations. The inputs used to determine such fair value are primarily based upon costs

incurred historically for similar work, as well as estimates from independent third parties for costs that would be incurred to restore leased property to the contractually stipulated condition, and would generally be classified within Level 3.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized impairments of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment in unconsolidated affiliates of $48 million in our condensed consolidated statement of operations as summarized in the table below. Our impairment determinations involved significant assumptions and judgments. Differing assumptions regarding any of these inputs could have a significant effect on the various valuations. As such, the fair value measurements utilized within these models are classified as non-recurring Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy because they are not observable from objective sources.

On January 3, 2017, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME") modified its exchange rules to characterize daily variation margin amounts as "final settlement" values. The modified rule ("CME Rule 814") impacts derivative financial instruments traded on exchanges administered by the CME, including the New York Mercantile Exchange. As a result of this rule change, we are reporting the affected derivative instruments on a net basis on our balance sheet. The netting process results in the elimination of offsetting derivative assets, derivative liabilities and associated collateral cash deposits and related amounts as if the underlying derivative instruments had settled on the balance sheet date. Through December 31, 2016, we historically reported such derivatives and associated collateral balances on a gross basis. Derivative transactions and associated collateral balances cleared on exchanges other than the CME continue to be reported on a gross basis.

Changes in Levels 1(a) $1 million and 2 Fair Value Measurements

Depending upon the information readily observable in the market, and/or the use$45 million and $42 million recorded within "Other long-term assets" as of identical or similar quoted prices, which are significant to the overall valuation, the classification of any individual financial instrument may differ from one measurement date to the next. To qualify as a transfer, the asset or liability must have existed in the previous reporting periodMarch 31, 2023 and moved into a different level during the current period. In the event that there is a movement between the classification of an instrument as Level 1 or 2, the transfer would be reflected in a table as Transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.December 31, 2022, respectively.
Changes in Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The tablestable below illustrateillustrates a rollforward of the amounts included in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for derivative financial instruments that we have classified within Level 3. Since financial instruments classified as Level 3 typically include a combination of observable components (that is, components that are actively quoted and can be validated to external sources) and unobservable components, the gains and losses in the table below may include changes in fair value due in part to observable market factors, or changes to our assumptions on the unobservable components. Depending upon the information readily observable in the market, and/or the use of unobservable inputs, which are significant to the overall valuation, the classification of any individual financial instrument may differ from one measurement date to the next. The significant unobservable inputs used in determining fair value include adjustments by other market-based or independently sourced market data such as historical commodity volatilities, crude oil future yield curves, and/or counterparty specific considerations. In the event that there is a movement to/from the classification of an instrument as Level 3, we would reflect such items in the table below within the “Transfers into/out of Level 3” captions.
We manage our overall risk at the portfolio level and in the execution of our strategy, we may use a combination of financial instruments, which may be classified within any level. Since Level 1 and Level 2 risk management instruments are not included in the rollforward below, the gains or losses in the table do not reflect the effect of our total risk management activities.

We utilize the market approach to measure the fair value of our commodity contracts. The significant unobservable inputs used in this approach to fair value are longer dated price quotes. Our sensitivity to these longer dated forward curve prices are presented in the table below. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in significantly different fair value measurements, depending on our short or long position in contracts.

Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Valuation of a contract’s fair value is validated by an internal group independent of the marketing group. While common industry practices are used to develop valuation techniques, changes in pricing methodologies or the underlying assumptions could result in significantly different fair values and income recognition. When available, quoted market prices or prices obtained through external sources are used to determine a contract’s fair value. For contracts with a delivery location or duration for which quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on pricing models developed primarily from historical and expected relationship with quoted market prices.

Values are adjusted to reflect the credit risk inherent in the transaction as well as the potential impact of liquidating open positions in an orderly manner over a reasonable time period under current conditions. Changes in market prices and management estimates directly affect the estimated fair value of these contracts. Accordingly, it is reasonably possible that such estimates may change in the near term.
The fair value of our interest rate swaps, if any, and commodity non-trading derivatives is based on prices supported by quoted market prices and other external sources and prices based on models and other valuation methods. The “prices supported by quoted market prices and other external sources” category includes our interest rate swaps, if any, our NGL and crude oil swaps and our NYMEX positions in natural gas. In addition, this category includes our forward positions in natural gas for which our forward price curves are obtained from a third party pricing service and then validated through an internal process which includes the use of independent broker quotes. This category also includes our forward positions in NGLs at points for which OTC broker quotes for similar assets or liabilities are available for the full term of the instrument. This category also includes “strip” transactions whose pricing inputs are directly or indirectly observable from external sources and then modeled to daily or monthly prices as appropriate. The “prices based on models and other valuation methods” category includes the value of transactions for which inputs to the fair value of the instrument are unobservable in the marketplace and are considered significant to the overall fair value of the instrument. The fair value of these instruments may be based upon an internally developed price curve, which was constructed as a result of the long dated nature of the transaction or the illiquidity of the specific market point.
We have determined fair value amounts using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The fair value of accounts receivable and accounts payable and short-term borrowings are not materially different from their carrying amounts because of the short-term nature of these instruments or the stated rates approximating market rates. Derivative instruments are carried at fair value.
We determine the fair value of our fixed-rate senior notes and junior subordinated notes based on quotes obtained from bond dealers. We determine the fairThe carrying value of borrowings under our revolving credit facility based upon the discounted present value of expected future cash flows, taking into account the difference between the contractual borrowing spreadCredit Agreement and the spread for similar credit facilities available in the marketplace.Securitization Facility approximate fair value as their interest rates are based on prevailing market interest rates.

12.9. Risk Management and Hedging Activities
Our operations expose us to a variety of risks including but not limited to changes in the prices of commodities that we buy or sell, changes in interest rates, and the creditworthiness of each of our counterparties. We manage certain of these exposures with either physical or financial transactions. We have established a comprehensive risk management policy and a risk management committee or the Risk(the “Risk Management Committee,Committee”), to monitor and manage market risks associated with commodity prices and counterparty credit. The Risk Management Committee is composed of senior executives who receive regular briefings on positions and exposures, credit exposures and overall risk management in the context of market activities. The Risk Management Committee is responsible for the overall management of credit risk and commodity price risk, including monitoring exposure limits. The following describes each of the risks that we manage.
Commodity Price Risk

Our portfolio of commodity derivative activity is primarily accounted for using the mark-to-market method of accounting; however, depending upon our risk profile and objectives, in certain limited cases, we may execute transactions that qualify for the hedge method of accounting. The risks, strategies and instruments used to mitigate such risks, as well as the method of accounting are discussed and summarized below.

Natural Gas Asset Based Trading and Marketing

Our natural gas storage and pipeline assets are exposed to certain risks including changes in commodity prices. We manage commodity price risk related to our natural gas storage and pipeline assets through our commodity derivative program. The commercial activities related to our natural gas storage and pipeline assets primarily consist of the purchase and sale of gas and associated time spreads and basis spreads.

A time spread transaction is executed by establishing a long gas position at one point in time and establishing an equal short gas position at a different point in time. Time spread transactions allow us to lock in a margin supported by the injection, withdrawal, and storage capacity of our natural gas storage assets. We may execute basis spread transactions to mitigate the risk of sale and purchase price differentials across our system. A basis spread transaction allows us to lock in a margin on our physical purchases and sales of gas, including injections and withdrawals from storage. We typically use swaps to execute these transactions, which are not designated as hedging instruments and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the current period condensed consolidated statements of operations. While gas held in our storage locations is recorded at the lower of average cost or market, the derivative instruments that are used to manage our storage facilities are recorded at fair value and any changes in fair value are currently recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Even though we may have economically hedged our exposure and locked in a future margin, the use of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting for our physical inventory and the use of mark-to-market accounting for our derivative instruments may subject our earnings to market volatility.

Commodity Cash Flow Hedges
In order for our natural gas storage facility to remain operational, a minimum level of base gas must be maintained in each storage cavern, which is capitalized on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of property, plant and equipment, net. During construction or expansion of our storage caverns, we may execute a series of derivative financial instruments to mitigate a portion of the risk associated with the forecasted purchase of natural gas when we bring the storage caverns into operation. These derivative financial instruments may be designated as cash flow hedges. While the cash paid upon settlement of these hedges economically fixes the cash required to purchase base gas, the deferred losses or gains would remain in accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI, until the cavern is emptied and the base gas is sold. The balance in AOCI of our previously settled base gas cash flow hedges was in a loss position of $6 million as of September 30, 2017.

Commodity Cash Flow Protection Activities

We are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the prices of natural gas, NGLs and condensate as a result of our gathering, processing, sales and storage activities. For gathering, processing and storage services, we may receive cash or commodities as payment for these services, depending on the contract type. We may enter into derivative financial instruments to mitigate a portion of the risk of weakening natural gas, NGL and condensate prices associated with our gathering, processing and sales activities, thereby stabilizing our cash flows. Our derivative financial instruments used to mitigate a portion of the risk of weakening natural gas, NGL and condensate prices extend through the first quarter of 2019. The commodity derivative instruments used for our hedging programs are a combination of direct NGL product, crude oil and natural gas hedges. Due to the limited liquidity and tenor of the NGL derivative market, we may use crude oil swaps to mitigate a portion of the commodity price risk exposure for NGLs. Historically, prices of NGLs have generally been related to crude oil prices; however, there are periods of time when NGL pricing may be at a greater discount to crude oil, resulting in additional exposure to NGL commodity prices. The relationship of NGLs to crude oil continues to be lower than historical relationships. When our crude oil swaps become short-term in nature, certain crude oil derivatives may be converted to NGL derivatives by entering into offsetting crude oil swaps while adding NGL swaps. Crude oil and NGL transactions are primarily accomplished through the use of forward contracts that effectively exchange floating price risk for a fixed price. The type of instrument used to mitigate a portion of the risk may vary depending on our risk management objectives. These transactions are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and the change in fair value is reflected in the current period within our condensed consolidated statements of operations as trading and marketing gains and (losses), net.

NGL Proprietary Trading

Our NGL proprietary trading activity includes trading energy related products and services. We undertake these activities through the use of fixed forward sales and purchases, basis and spread trades, storage opportunities, put/call options, term contracts and spot market trading. These energy trading operations are exposed to market variables and commodity price risk with respect to these products and services, and these operations may enter into physical contracts and financial instruments with the objective of realizing a positive margin from the purchase and sale of commodity-based instruments. These physical and financial instruments are not designated as hedging instruments and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the current period condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We employ established risk limits, policies and procedures to manage risks associated with our natural gas asset based trading and marketing and NGL proprietary trading.

Interest Rate Risk

We enter into debt arrangements that have either fixed or floating rates, therefore we are exposed to market risks related to changes in interest rates. We periodically use interest rate swaps to convert our floating rate debt to fixed-rate debt or to convert our fixed-rate debt to floating rate debt. Our primary goals include: (1) maintaining an appropriate ratio of fixed-rate debt to floating-rate debt; (2) reducing volatility of earnings resulting from interest rate fluctuations; and (3) locking in attractive interest rates.

We previously had interest rate cash flow hedges and fair value hedges in place that were terminated. As the underlying transactions impact earnings, the remaining net loss deferred in AOCI relative to these cash flow hedges will be reclassified to interest expense, net from 2022 through 2030 and the remaining net loss included in long-term debt relative to these fair value hedges will be reclassified to interest expense, net from 2019 through 2030, the original maturity dates of the debt.

Credit Risk

Our principal customers range from large, natural gas marketers to industrial end-users for our natural gas products and services, as well as large multi-national petrochemical and refining companies, to small regional propane distributors for our NGL products and services. Substantially all of our natural gas and NGL sales are made at market-based prices. Approximately 22% of our NGL production was committed to Phillips 66 and CPChem as of September 30, 2017. This concentration of credit risk may affect our overall credit risk, in that these customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other factors. Where exposed to credit risk, we analyze the counterparties’ financial condition prior to entering into an agreement, establish credit limits and monitor the appropriateness of these limits on an ongoing basis. We may use various master agreements that include language giving us the right to request collateral to mitigate credit exposure. The collateral language provides for a counterparty to post cash or letters of credit for exposure in excess of the established threshold. The threshold amount represents an open credit limit, determined in accordance with our credit policy. The collateral language also provides that the inability to post collateral is sufficient cause to terminate a contract and liquidate all positions. In addition, our master agreements and our standard gas and NGL sales contracts contain adequate assurance provisions, which allow us to suspend deliveries and cancel agreements, or continue deliveries to the buyer after the buyer provides security for payment in a satisfactory form.
Contingent Credit Features
Each of the above risks is managed through the execution of individual contracts with a variety of counterparties. Certain of our derivative contracts may contain credit-risk related contingent provisions that may require us to take certain actions in certain circumstances.
We have International Swaps and Derivatives Association, or ISDA, contracts which are standardized master legal arrangements that establish key terms and conditions which govern certain derivative transactions. These ISDA contracts contain standard credit-risk related contingent provisions. Some of the provisions we are subject to are outlined below.
If we were to have an effective event of default under our Credit Agreement that occurs and is continuing, our ISDA counterparties may have the right to request early termination and net settlement of any outstanding derivative liability positions.
DCP MIDSTREAM, LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 - (Continued)
(Unaudited)

Our ISDA counterparties generally have collateral thresholds of zero, requiring us to fully collateralize any commodity contracts in a net liability position, when our credit rating is below investment grade.
Additionally, in some cases, our ISDA contracts contain cross-default provisions that could constitute a credit-risk related contingent feature. These provisions apply if we default in making timely payments under other credit arrangements and the amount of the default is above certain predefined thresholds, which are significantly high and are generally consistent with the terms of our Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2017, we were not a party to any agreements that would trigger the cross-default provisions.
Our commodity derivative contracts that are not governed by ISDA contracts do not have any credit-risk related contingent features. Depending upon the movement of commodity prices and interest rates, each of our individual contracts with counterparties to our commodity derivative instruments or interest rate swap instruments are in either a net asset or net liability position. As of September 30, 2017, we had less than $1 million of individual commodity derivative contracts that contain credit-risk related contingent features that were in a net liability position. If we were required to net settle our position with an individual counterparty, due to a credit-risk related event, our ISDA contracts may permit us to net all outstanding contracts with that counterparty, whether in a net asset or net liability position, as well as any cash collateral already posted. As of September 30, 2017, we have not been required to post additional collateral. Although our commodity derivative contracts that contain credit-risk related contingent features were in a net liability position as of September 30, 2017, the net liability position would be offset by contracts in a net asset position.
Collateral
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, we had cash deposits of $42$32 million, included in collateral cash deposits in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, andsheets. Additionally, as of March 31, 2023, we held letters of credit of $13 million with counterparties to secure our obligations to provide future services or to perform under financial contracts. Additionally, as of September 30, 2017, we held cash of $19 million, included in other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, related to cash postings by third parties and letters of credit of $36$49 million from counterparties to secure their future performance under financial or physical contracts. Collateral amounts held or posted may be fixed or may vary, depending on the value of the underlying contracts, and could cover normal purchases and sales, services, trading and hedging contracts. In many cases, we and our counterparties have publicly disclosed credit ratings, which may impact the amounts of collateral requirements.

Offsetting
Certain of our financial derivative instruments are subject to a master netting or similar arrangement, whereby we may elect to settle multiple positions with an individual counterparty through a single net payment. Each of our individual derivative instruments are presented on a gross basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, regardless of our ability to net settle our positions. Instruments that are governed by agreements that include net settle provisions allow final settlement, when presented with a termination event, of outstanding amounts by extinguishing the mutual debts owed between the parties in exchange for a net amount due.

13. Partnership Equity and Distributions
As part of the Transaction, Phillips 66 and Enbridge agreed, if required, to provide a reduction to incentive distributions payable to our General Partner under our Partnership Agreement of up to $100 million annually through 2019 to target an approximate 1.0 times distribution coverage ratio.  Under the terms of our amended partnership agreement, the amount of incentive distributions paid to our General Partner will be evaluated by our General Partner on both a quarterly and annual basis and may be reduced each quarter by an amount determined by our General Partner (the “IDR giveback”). If no determination is made by our General Partner, the quarterly IDR giveback will be $20 million. The IDR giveback, of up to $100 million annually, will be subject to a true-up at the end of the year by taking our total distributable cash flow (as adjusted under our amended partnership agreement) less the total annual distribution payable to our unitholders, adjusted to target an approximate 1.0 times coverage ratio. Distributions paid to the holders of the Partnership's incentive distribution rights were reduced by $20 million and $40 million during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively, in accordance with the Third Amendment to the Partnership Agreement.
In January 2017, we issued 28,552,480 common units to DCP Midstream, LLC and 2,550,644 general partner units to the General Partner in a private placement as consideration for the Transaction that closed on January 1, 2017. For additional information regarding the Transaction, see Note 3 - Acquisitions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we issued no common units pursuant to our 2014 equity distribution agreement.

15.12. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

LitigationWe are not a party to any significantmaterial legal proceedings, but are a party to various administrative and regulatory proceedings and commercial disputes that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business. Management currently believes that the ultimate resolution of the foregoing matters, taken as a whole, and after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage or other indemnification arrangements, will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.

InsuranceOur insurance coverage is carried with third-party insurers and with an affiliate of Phillips 66. Our insurance coverage includes: (1)(i) general liability insurance covering third-party exposures; (2)(ii) statutory workers’ compensation insurance; (3)(iii) automobile liability insurance for all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles; (4)(iv) excess liability insurance above the established primary limits for general liability and automobile liability insurance; (5)(v) property insurance, which covers the replacement value of real and personal property and includes business interruption; and (6)(vi) insurance covering our directors and officers for acts related to our business activities. All coverage is subject to certain limits and deductibles, the terms and conditions of which are common for companies with similar types of operations.

EnvironmentalEnvironment, Health and Safety The operation of pipelines, plants and other facilities for gathering, transporting, processing, treating, fractionating, or storing natural gas, NGLs and other products is subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to the environment, health safety and the environment.safety. As an owner or operator of these facilities, we must comply with laws and regulations at the federal, state and, in some cases, local levels that relate to worker health and safety, public health and safety, pipeline safety, air and water quality, solid and hazardous waste management and disposal, and other environmental matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing and operating pipelines, plants, and other facilities incorporates compliance with environmental laws and regulations, workerhealth and safety standards applicable to workers and the public, and safety standards applicable to our various facilities. In addition, there is increasing focus from (i) from city, stateregulatory bodies and federal regulatory officialscommunities, and through litigation, on hydraulic fracturing as well as general oil and gas production facilities and the real or perceived environmental or public health impacts of this technique,these activities, which indirectly presents some risk to our available supply of natural gas and the resulting supply of NGLs,NGLs; (ii) from federal regulatory agenciesbodies regarding pipeline system safety which could impose additional regulatory burdens and increase the cost of our operations, andoperations; (iii) from state and federal regulatory officialsagencies regarding the emission of greenhouse gases and other air emissions associated with our operations or the materials managed as part of our business, which could impose regulatory burdens and increase the cost of our operations.operations; and (iv) regulatory bodies and communities that could prevent or delay the development of fossil fuel energy infrastructure such as pipelines, plants, and other facilities used in our business. Failure to comply with these various health, safety and environmental laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures, including citizen suits, which can include the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements, and the issuance of injunctions or restrictions on operation. Management believes that, based on currently known information, compliance with these existing laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
The following pending proceedings involve governmental authorities as a party under federal, state, and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. We have elected to disclose matters where we reasonably believe such proceeding would result in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of $1 million or more. It is not possible for us to predict the final outcome of these pending proceedings; however, we do not expect the outcome of one or more of these proceedings to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows:

In 2018, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (“CDPHE”) issued a Compliance Advisory in relation to an improperly permitted facility flare and related air emissions from flare operations at one of our gas processing plants, which we had self-disclosed to CDPHE in December 2017. Following information exchanges and discussions with CDPHE, a resolution was proposed pursuant to which the plant's air permit would be revised to include the flare and emissions limits for such flare in addition to us paying an administrative penalty as well as an economic benefit payment generally covering the period when the flare was required to be included in the facility air permit. A revised air permit was issued in May 2019, but the parties had not yet entered into a final settlement agreement to complete the matter. Subsequently, in July 2020 CDPHE issued a Notice of Violation in relation to amine treater emissions at this gas processing plant, which we had self-disclosed to CDPHE in April 2020. We are still exchanging information and holding discussions with CDPHE as to this and the foregoing flare-related enforcement matter, including possible settlement terms, although these matters, which have since been combined, may end up in formal legal proceedings. It is possible that resolution of this matter may include an administrative penalty and economic benefit payment, further revising the facility air permit, or installation of emissions management equipment, or a combination of these, that could, in the aggregate, exceed the disclosure threshold amount described above, although we do not believe that resolution of this matter would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

14. Business Segments

Concurrent with the completion of the Transaction in the first quarter of 2017, management reevaluated our reportable segments and determined that ourOur operations are organized into two reportable segments: (i) Logistics and Marketing and (ii) Gathering and Processing and (ii) Logistics and Marketing. Segment information for prior periods has been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information similar to the pooling method to reflect these reportable segments.Processing. These segments are monitored separately by management for performance against our internal forecast and are consistent with internal financial reporting. These segments have been identified based on the differing products and services, regulatory environment and the expertise required for these operations. Our Gathering and Processing reportable segment includes operating segments that have been aggregated based on the nature of the products and services provided. GrossAdjusted gross margin is a performance measure utilized by management to monitor the operations of each segment. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies included in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" included as Exhibit 99.4Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the May 2017 8-K.year ended December 31, 2022.

Our Logistics and Marketing segment includes transporting, trading, marketing, storing natural gas and NGLs, and fractionating NGLs. Our Gathering and Processing segment consists of gathering, compressing, treating, processing natural gas, producing and fractionating NGLs, and recovering and selling condensate. Our Logistics and Marketing segment includes transporting, trading, marketing, and storing natural gas and NGLs, fractionating NGLs, and wholesale propane logistics. The remainder of our business operations is presented as “Other,” and consists of unallocated corporate costs. Elimination of inter-segment transactions are reflected in the eliminationsEliminations column. The following tables set forth our segment information:

(a) Adjusted gross margin consists of total operating revenues, including commodity derivative activity, less purchases and related costs. Adjusted gross margin is viewed as a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC, but is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a primary performance measure used by management as it represents the results of product sales versus product purchases. As an indicator of our operating performance, adjusted gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income, net cash provided by operating activities or gross margin as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our adjusted gross margin may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate adjusted gross margin in the same manner.

(a)Gross margin consists of total operating revenues, including trading and marketing gains and losses, less purchases of natural gas and NGLs. Gross margin is viewed as a non-GAAP financial measure under the rules of the SEC, but is included as a supplemental disclosure because it is a primary performance measure used by management as it represents the results of product sales versus product purchases. As an indicator of our operating performance, gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or cash flow as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our gross margin may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate gross margin in the same manner.
(b)Non-cash commodity derivative mark-to-market is included in gross margin, along with cash settlements for our commodity derivative contracts.

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


The following discussion analyzes our financial condition and results of operations. You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included as Exhibit 99.4 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the May 2017 8-K.year ended December 31, 2022.


Overview
We are a Delaware limited partnership formed by DCP Midstream, LLC to own, operate, acquire and develop a diversified portfolio of complementary midstream energy assets. Concurrent with the completion of the Transaction in the first quarter of 2017, management reevaluated our reportable segments and determined that ourOur operations are organized into two reportable segments: (i) Logistics and Marketing and (ii) Gathering and Processing and (ii)Processing. Our Logistics and Marketing. Segment information for earlier periods has been restated to reflect these reportable segments. Our Gathering and ProcessingMarketing segment includes operating segments that have been aggregated based on the nature of the productstransporting, trading, marketing and services provided.storing natural gas and NGLs, and fractionating NGLs. Our Gathering and Processing segment consists of gathering, compressing, treating, and processing natural gas, producing and fractionating NGLs, and recovering condensate.
Realignment Transaction
On August 17, 2022, in connection with the closing of the Realignment Transaction between Phillips 66 and selling condensate. Our LogisticsEnbridge, PGC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Phillips 66, and Marketing segment includes transporting, trading, marketingSpectra DEFS Holding, LLC, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Enbridge, as the members of DCP Midstream, LLC, entered into the Third A&R LLC Agreement, which, among other things, designated PGC as the Class A Managing Member of DCP Midstream, LLC with the power to conduct, direct and storing natural gasmanage all activities of DCP Midstream, LLC associated with the Partnership and NGLs, fractionating NGLseach of its subsidiaries, GP LP and wholesale propane logistics.our General Partner, and, in each case, the businesses, activities and liabilities thereof. The remainderThird A&R LLC Agreement also provided PGC with the power to exercise DCP Midstream, LLC’s rights to appoint or remove any director on the board of directors of our General Partner and vote the common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership that are owned directly or indirectly by DCP Midstream, LLC.
Following the completion of the Realignment Transaction, we began to integrate certain of our operations with Phillips 66’s midstream segment, including the integration of operational services that are currently, or were previously, provided by DCP Services, LLC. As part of these integration efforts, continuing employees transferred employment to a Phillips 66 subsidiary on April 1, 2023, and general and administrative services will be provided by Phillips 66 or one or more of its subsidiaries going forward. We expect such integration efforts to continue regardless of the outcome of the pending Merger with Phillips 66 described below.
Pending Merger with Phillips 66
On January 5, 2023, we entered into the Merger Agreement with Phillips 66, PDI, Merger Sub, GP LP and our General Partner, pursuant to which, at the effective time of the Merger, each common unit representing a limited partner interest in the Partnership (other than the common units owned by DCP Midstream, LLC and GP LP) will be converted into the right to receive $41.75 per common unit in cash, without interest. GP LP has agreed to declare, and cause the Partnership to pay, a cash distribution in respect of the common units in an amount equal to $0.43 per common unit for each completed quarter ending on or after December 31, 2022 and prior to the effective time of the Merger.
The Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, were unanimously approved on behalf of the Partnership by the special committee and the board of directors of the General Partner, which is the general partner of GP LP. The special committee, which is comprised of independent members of the board of directors of our general partner, retained independent legal and financial advisors to assist it in evaluating and negotiating the Merger Agreement and the Merger.
The Merger is expected to close in the second quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the Merger will be consummated on the terms described above or at all.

General Trends and Outlook
We anticipate our business operations is presented as "Other",will continue to be affected by the following key trends. Our expectations are based on assumptions made by us and consistsinformation currently available to us. To the extent our underlying assumptions about, or interpretations of, unallocated corporate costs.available information prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from our expected results.
Our business is impacted by commodity prices and volumes. We mitigate a portion of commodity price risk on an overall Partnership basis by growingthrough our fee based assets and by executing on our hedging program, in which we hedge commodity prices associated with a portion of our expected natural gas, NGL and condensate equity volumes in our Gathering and Processing segment.fee-based assets. Various factors impact both commodity prices and volumes, and as indicated in Item 3. "Quantitative3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk," we have sensitivities to certain cash and non-cash changes in commodity prices. If commodityCommodity prices weaken for a sustained period, our volumes may be impacted, particularlyhave been volatile during 2023 and are subject to global energy supply and demand fundamentals as producers are curtailing or redirecting drilling.well as geopolitical disruptions. Drilling activity levels vary by geographic area;area and we will continue to target our strategy in geographic areas where we expect producer drilling activity.
Our long-term view is that commodity prices will be at levels that we believe will support growthsustained or increasing levels of domestic production. Our business is predominantly fee-based and we have a diversified portfolio to balance the upside of our earnings potential while reducing our commodity exposure. Our financial position has improved as a result of strong 2022 results and in natural gas, condensatethe first half of 2023, following a decrease in commodity prices and NGL production.related increase in the fair value of our equity derivative assets, substantially all of our outstanding equity derivative contracts were settled prior to the expiration of the contractual maturities. Consequently, our equity exposure for 2023 and beyond is currently not hedged and is directly exposed to continued volatility in commodity prices, whether favorable or unfavorable. We believeexpect future commodity prices will be influenced by the severity of winterglobal economic conditions and summer weather,geopolitical disruptions, the level of North American production and drilling activity by exploration and production companies, and the balance of trade between imports and exports of liquid natural gas, NGLs and crude oil.oil, and the severity of winter and summer weather.
NGL prices are impactedWe expect to be a proactive participant in the transition to a lower carbon energy future through increased efficiency and modernization of existing operations, which we expect will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from our base business. Going forward, our assets will be managed in a manner consistent with the emissions goals of Phillips 66.
Our business is primarily driven by the demandlevel of production of natural gas by producers and of NGLs from petrochemicalprocessing plants connected to our pipelines and refining industries and export facilities. The petrochemical industry has been making significant investment in building and expanding facilities to convert chemical plants from a heavier oil-based feedstock to lighter NGL-based feedstocks, including ethane. This increased demand expected in the next year should provide support for the increasing supply of ethane. As these facilities commence operations, ethane prices could remain weak with supply in excess of demand. In addition, export facilities are being expanded and built, which provide support for the increasing supply of NGLs. Although therefractionators.

In additionThe global economic outlook continues to thebe a cause for concern for U.S. financial markets manyand businesses and investors continue to monitor global economic conditions. Uncertainty abroadalike. This uncertainty may contribute to volatility in domestic financial and commodity markets.
We believe we are positioned to withstand current and future commodity price volatility as a result of the following:
Our growing fee-based business represents a significant portion of our margins.
We have positive operating cash flow from our well-positioned and diversified assets.
We have a well-defined and targeted hedging program.
We manage our disciplined capital growth program with a significant focus on fee-based agreements and projects with long termlong-term volume outlooks.

We believe we have a solid capital structure and balance sheet.
We believe we have access to sufficient capital to fund our growth.

We have engaged in a disciplined growth strategy in recent years focusing on our key areas of operations. Our targeted strategy may take numerous forms such as organic build opportunities within our footprint, joint venture opportunities,including excess distribution coverage and acquisitions. Growth opportunities will be evaluated in cooperation with producers and customers based on the expected level of drilling activity in these geographic regions and the impacts of higher costs of capital.

Some of our growth projects include the following:
Within our Gathering and Processing segment, we increased capacity in the DJ Basin by up to 40 MMcf/d starting in June 2017 by placing additional field compression and plant bypass infrastructure in service.
We are constructing a 200 MMcf/d natural gas processing plant, the Mewbourn 3 plant, and further expanding our Grand Parkway gathering system, both of which are located in the DJ Basin and expected to be in service in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Our 200 MMcf/d O'Connor 2 plant and associated gathering infrastructure, located in the DJ Basin, is also approved and expected to be in service in mid 2019.
Within our Logistics and Marketing segment, we are currently expanding the Sand Hills pipeline to 365 MBbls/d, expected to be completed late fourth quarter of 2017 or early first quarter of 2018, and have multiple Sand Hills lateral connections in flight throughout 2017.
Further Sand Hills pipeline expansion to 450 MBbls/d is progressing and includes a partial looping of the pipeline and the addition of new pump stations, and is expected to be in service in the third quarter of 2018.
We signed a letter of intent with respect to the joint development of the Gulf Coast Express pipeline project (GCX project) with Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline LLC and Targa Resources Corp, which would provide an outlet for increased natural gas production from the Permian Basin to growing markets along the Texas Gulf Coast. The capacity of the GCX project is expected to be 1.92 Bcf/d. The mostly 42-inch pipeline would traverse approximately 500 miles and be in service in the second half of 2019, pending final shipper commitments and a final investment decision by all three entities. Under the terms of the letter of intent, we will own a 25 percent equity interest in the project and would commit significant volumes.
Recent Events

We are jointly developing the Cheyenne Connector pipeline (“Cheyenne Connector”) with Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP and Western Gas Partners, LP, in which we have an option to invest in at a later date. Tallgrass Energy Partners, LP has announced the launch of an open season to transport natural gas on the Cheyenne Connector from the DJ Basin to the Rockies Express Pipeline (“REX”) Cheyenne Hub just south of the Colorado-Wyoming border. Cheyenne Connector has signed long-term precedent agreements to transport at least 600 MMcf/d of natural gas with affiliates of Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and the Partnership. Cheyenne Connector will provide takeaway solutions for DJ Basin gas producers, connecting natural gas to REX’s Cheyenne Hub where it can then be delivered to numerous demand markets across the country on either REX or other interconnected pipelines.

In August 2017, we experienced business interruptions at certain of our assets as a result of Hurricane Harvey. Our logistics facilities, including Sand Hills, Southern Hills and other NGL pipelines connecting to the Gulf Coast remained operational for the duration of the storm, but volumes were impacted due to downstream constraints. Based on current assessments, no significant damage has been identified to our assets, however, final assessments are still underway.
We announced a quarterly distribution of $0.78 per unit for the third quarter of 2017. This distribution per unit remains unchanged from the previous quarter and the third quarter of 2016.

Natural Gas Wellhead — Natural gas and NGL sales volumes and the sale of our Northern Louisiana System;
$775 million increase for our Gathering and Processing segment primarilywellhead increased in 2023 compared to 2022 due to higher commodity prices, higher gas and NGL sales volumes primarily related to our North region which impacts both sales and purchases, and higher transportation, processing and other primarily related to fee based contract realignment efforts. These increases were partially offset by lower gas and NGL salesincreased volumes in the South, MidcontinentPermian, and Permian regions, unfavorable commodity derivative activity and the sale of our Northern Louisiana system and Douglas gathering system;DJ Basin.
These increases were partially offset by:
$794 million increaseNGL Gross Production — NGL gross production increased in inter-segment eliminations, which relate2023 compared to sales of gas and NGL volumes from our Gathering and Processing segment to our Logistics and Marketing segment, primarily2022 due to higher commodity prices, partially offset by lower gas and NGL sales volumes.
Total Purchases — Total purchases increased $1,073 millionvolumes in 2017 compared to 2016 primarily as a result of the following:
$1,221 million increase for our Logistics and Marketing segment for the reasons discussed above;
$646 million increase for our Gathering and Processing segment for the reasons discussed above;
These increases were partially offset by:
$794 million increase in inter-segment eliminations, which relate to sales of gas and NGL volumes from our Gathering and Processing segment to our Logistics and Marketing segment, primarily due to higher commodity prices, partially offset by lower gas and NGL sales volumes.
General and Administrative Expense — General and administrative expense increased in 2017 compared to 2016 primarily as a result of investment in process and technology improvements.
Asset impairments — Asset impairments in 2017 represent the impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets in our South region.
Other (Expense) Income — Other expense in 2017 primarily represents the write-off of property, plant and equipment associated with the expiration of a lease. Other income in 2016 primarily represents a producer settlement, net of legal fees, partially offset by the write-off of property, plant and equipment.

Earnings from Unconsolidated Affiliates — Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates increased in 2017 compared to 2016 primarily as a result of the expansion and volume ramp up of the Sand Hills NGL pipeline in our Logistics and Marketing segment and an increase from Discovery in our Gathering and Processing segment primarily due to the accelerated recognition of previously deferred revenue associated with lower projections. We expect these projections to impact future earnings.
Interest Expense - Interest expense decreased in 2017 compared to 2016 as a result of lower average outstanding debt balances.
Restructuring Costs - Restructuring costs in 2016 related to our headcount reduction in April of 2016.
Gain on Sale of Assets, net — The gain on sale in 2017 represents the sale of our Douglas gathering system. The gain on sale in 2016 represents the sale of our Northern Louisiana system, partially offset by a loss on sale of non-core assets.
Net Income Attributable to Partners — Net income attributable to partners increased in 2017 compared to 2016 for the reasons discussed above.
Gross Margin — Gross margin increased $142 million in 2017 compared to 2016 primarily as a result of the following:
$129 million increase for our Gathering and Processing segment primarily related to higher commodity prices, increased volume from growth projects, higher margins on a specific producer arrangement, higher NGL recoveries and a producer settlement in our NorthPermian region and contract realignment efforts in our Permian and Midcontinent regions. These increases were partially offset by lower volumes across our South, Midcontinent, and Permian regions due to reduced drilling activity in prior periods, the impact of Hurricane Harvey primarily in the South and Permian regions, the sale of our Northern Louisiana system, the sale of our Douglas gathering system and unfavorable commodity derivative activity; and
$13 million increase for our Logistics and Marketing segment primarily related to favorable commodity derivative activity and higher NGL marketing margins, partially offset by lower margins on wholesale propane.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect our sources of liquidity to include:
cash generated from operations;
cash distributions from our unconsolidated affiliates;
borrowings under our Credit Agreement;Agreement and Securitization Facility;
proceeds from asset rationalization;
reduction of incentive distribution right payments;
debt offerings; and
issuances of additional common units or other securities;
borrowings under term loans; and
letters of credit.loans, or other credit facilities.
We anticipate our more significant uses of resources to include:
quarterly distributions to our common unitholders and General Partner;distributions to our preferred unitholders;
payments to service or retire our debt;debt or Preferred Units;
growth capital expenditures; and
contributions to our unconsolidated affiliates to finance our share of their capital expenditures;
business and asset acquisitions; and
collateral with counterparties to our swap contracts to secure potential exposure under these contracts, which may, at times, be significant depending on commodity price movements.expenditures.
We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements, long-term capital expenditure and acquisition requirementsexpenditures and quarterly cash distributions for the next twelve months.distributions.
We routinely evaluate opportunities for strategic investments or acquisitions. Future material investments or acquisitions may require that we obtain additional capital, assume third party debt or incur other long-term obligations. We have the option to utilize both equitydebt and debtequity instruments as vehicles for the long-term financing of our investment activities andor acquisitions.
Based on current and anticipated levels of operations, we believe we have adequate committed financial resources to conduct our ongoing business, although deterioration in our operating environment could limit our borrowing capacity, further impact our credit ratings, raise our financing costs, as well as impact our compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement and other debt instruments.
Senior Notes —On March 15, 2023, we repaid, at par, all $500 million of aggregate principal amount outstanding of our financial covenant requirements3.875% Senior Notes due March 15, 2023 using borrowings under our Credit Facility and Securitization Facility.

Credit Agreement — We are party to a Credit Agreement that provides up to $1.4 billion of borrowing capacity and bears interest at either the term SOFR rate or the base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin based on our credit rating. The Credit Agreement matures on March 18, 2027.

As of March 31, 2023, we had unused borrowing capacity of $1,173 million, net of $225 million of outstanding borrowings and $2 million letters of credit, under the Credit Agreement, and the indentures governing our notes.
In February 2017, we further amended our Credit Agreementof which at least $1,173 million would have been available to increase the aggregate commitments under the unsecured revolving credit facility to approximately $1.4 billion. The Credit Agreement is usedborrow for working capital requirements and other general partnership purposes including acquisitions.

WeAs of April 28, 2023, we had unused borrowing capacity of $1,373$1,173 million, net of $25$225 million of outstanding borrowings and $2 million of letters of credit under the Credit Agreement. The financial covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement limit the Partnership's ability to incur incremental debt by $1,373 million as of September 30, 2017. Our cost of borrowing under the Credit Agreement is determined by a ratings-based pricing grid. In the first quarter

Guarantee of Registered Debt Securities — The condensed consolidated financial statements of DCP Midstream, LP, or “parent guarantor”, include the accounts of DCP Midstream Operating LP, or “subsidiary issuer”, which is a 100% owned subsidiary, and all other subsidiaries which are all non-guarantor subsidiaries. The parent guarantor has agreed to fully and unconditionally guarantee the senior notes. The entirety of the Company’s operating assets and liabilities, operating revenues, expenses and other comprehensive income exist at its non-guarantor subsidiaries, and the parent guarantor and subsidiary issuer have no assets, liabilities or operations independent of their respective financing activities and investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries. All covenants in the indentures governing the notes limit the activities of subsidiary issuer, including limitations on the ability to pay dividends, incur additional indebtedness, make restricted payments, create liens, sell assets or make loans to parent guarantor.

The Company qualifies for alternative disclosure under Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, because the combined financial information of the subsidiary issuer and parent guarantor, excluding investments in subsidiaries that are not issuers or guarantors, reflect no material assets, liabilities or results of operations apart from their respective financing activities and investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries. Summarized financial information is presented as follows. The only assets, liabilities and results of operations of the subsidiary issuer and parent guarantor on a combined basis, independent of their respective investments in non-guarantor subsidiaries are:

Accounts payable and other current liabilities of $67 million and $80 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively;
Balances related to debt of $4.549 billion and $4.823 billion as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively; and
Interest expense, net of $66 million and $69 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Commodity Swaps and CollateralChanges in natural gas, NGL and condensate prices and the terms of our processing arrangements have a direct impact on our generation and use of cash from operations due to their impact on net income, along with the resulting changes in working capital. We have mitigated a portion of our anticipated commodity price risk associated with the equity volumes from our gathering and processing activities through the first quarter of 2019 with fixed price commodity swaps. For additional information regarding our derivative activities, please read Item 3. "Quantitative“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk"Risk” contained herein.therein.
When we enter into commodity swap contracts, we may be required to provide collateral to the counterparties in the event that our potential payment exposure exceeds a predetermined collateral threshold. Collateral thresholds are set by us and each counterparty, as applicable, in the master contract that governs our financial transactions based on our and the counterparty’s assessment of creditworthiness. The assessment of our position with respect to the collateral thresholds are determined on a counterparty by counterparty basis, and are impacted by the representative forward price curves and notional quantities under our swap contracts. Due to the interrelation between the representative crude oil and natural gas forward price curves, it is not practical to determine a pricing point at which our swap contracts will meet the collateral thresholds as we may transact multiple commodities with the same counterparty. Depending on daily commodity prices, the amount of collateral posted can go up or down on a daily basis.
Working Capital — Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities. Current assets are reduced in part by our quarterly distributions, which are required under the terms of our Partnership Agreement based on Available Cash, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. In general, our working capital is impacted by changes in the prices of commodities that we buy and sell, inventory levels, and other business factors that affect our net income and cash flows. Our working capital is also impacted by the timing of operating cash receipts and disbursements, cash collateral we may be required to post with counterparties to our commodity derivative instruments, borrowings of and payments on debt and the Securitization Facility, capital expenditures, and increases or decreases in other long-term assets. We expect that our future working capital requirements will be impacted by these same recurring factors.
We had working capital deficits of $473$119 million and $629$802 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016,2022, respectively, driven by current maturities of long term debt of $7 million and $506 million, respectively. The change in working capital is primarily attributable to the cash received in the Transaction offset by the repayment of long-term debt outstanding on the revolving credit facility. We had a net derivative working capital surplus of $19 million and deficit of $10 million and $49$8 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016,2022, respectively.
As of September 30, 2017, we had $312 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $1 million was held by consolidated subsidiaries we did not wholly own.

The changes in net cash provided by operating activities are attributable to our net income adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in working capital as presented in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

We received cash distributions in excess of earnings from unconsolidated affiliates of $36 million and $60 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For additional information regarding fluctuations in our earnings and distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, please read "Results“Supplemental Information on Unconsolidated Affiliates” under “Results of Operations"Operations”.

Investing ActivitiesActivities Net cash used in investing activities increased $207$64 million in 20172023 compared to the same period in 20162022, primarily as a result of the following:
Net cash usedan increase in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was comprised of capital expenditures, of $258 million, primarily for (1) expansion capital expenditures including construction of the Mewbourn 3 plant, and (2) investment in unconsolidated affiliates, net of $70 million for the capacity expansion of the Sand Hills pipeline, partially offset by (3) proceedsa return of capital from the sale of our Douglas gathering system of $130 million.an investment.

Net cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was comprised of: (1) capital expenditures of $113 million, which generally consisted of maintenance capital expenditures for our existing facilities and expansion capital expenditures for construction of additional gathering systems, processing plants, fractionators and other facilities and infrastructure and well connections; (2) investment in unconsolidated affiliates, net of $38 million, which were partially offset by (3) proceeds from the sale of our Northern Louisiana system of $160 million.

Financing ActivitiesActivities Net cash used in financing activities decreased $343$117 million in 20172023 compared to the same period in 20162022, primarily as a result of lower net payments of debt.
Contractual Obligations — Material contractual obligations arising in the following:

Net cash usednormal course of business primarily consist of purchase obligations, long-term debt and related interest payments, leases, asset retirement obligations, and other long-term liabilities. See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily comprised of: (1) payment of debtItem 1 "Financial Statements" for amounts outstanding on the revolving credit facility of $195 millionMarch 31, 2023, related to debt. Lease and asset retirement obligations are not materially different from cash received from the Transaction, (2) distributions paid to limited partnerswhat was disclosed in Notes 14 and the general partner of $390 million, (3) distributions to noncontrolling interests of $6 million, and (4) payment of deferred financing costs of $2 million; which were partially offset by (5) cash received from the Transaction of $418 million.

Purchase Obligations are contractual obligations and include various non-cancelable commitments to purchase physical quantities of commodities in future periods and other items, including gas supply, fractionation and transportation agreements in the ordinary course of business.
Management believes that our predecessor operations from DCP Midstream, LLCcash and investment position and operating cash flows as a result ofwell as capacity under existing and available credit agreements will be sufficient to meet our liquidity and capital requirements for the Transaction.foreseeable future. We believe that our current and projected asset position is sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements.

Capital Requirements — The midstream energy business can be capital intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain and upgrade existing operations. In the ordinary course of our business, we purchase physical commodities and enter into arrangements related to other items, including long-term fractionation and transportation agreements, in future periods. We establish a margin for these purchases by entering into physical and financial sale and exchange transactions to maintain a balanced position between purchases and sales and future delivery obligations. We expect to fund the obligations with the corresponding sales to entities that we deem creditworthy or that have provided credit support we consider adequate. We may enter into purchase order and non-cancelable construction agreements for capital expenditures. Our capital requirements have consisted primarily of, and we anticipate will continue to consist of the following:
maintenanceSustaining capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures to maintain our cash flows, operating or earnings capacity. These expenditures add on to or improve capital assets owned, including certain system integrity,

compliance and safety improvements. MaintenanceSustaining capital expenditures also include certain well connects, and may include the acquisition or construction of new capital assets; and
expansionExpansion capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures to increase our cash flows, or operating or earnings capacity. Expansion capital expenditures include acquisitions or capital improvements (where we add on to or improve the capital assets owned, or acquire or construct new gathering lines and well connects, treating facilities, processing plants, fractionation facilities, pipelines, terminals, docks, truck racks, tankage and other storage, distribution or transportation facilities and related or similar midstream assets).

We incur capital expenditures for our consolidated entities and our unconsolidated affiliates. We anticipate maintenanceOur 2023 plan includes sustaining capital expenditures of between $100$150 million and $145 million, and approved expansion capital expenditures of between $325 million and $375 million, for the year ending December 31, 2017. We forecast maintenance spending to be at the low end of the range, and expansion spending to approach the high end of the range. Expansion capital expenditures include the construction of the Mewbourn 3 plant, Grand Parkway Phase 2 and O'Connor bypass in our DJ Basin system, and the capacity expansions of the Sand Hills pipeline, which are shown as an investment in unconsolidated affiliates in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

In addition, we invested cash in unconsolidated affiliates of $70 million and $38 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, to fund our share of capital expansion projects.
We intend to make cash distributions to our unitholders and our general partner. Due to our cash distribution policy, we expect that we will distribute to our unitholders most of the cash generated by our operations. As a result, we expect that we will rely upon external financing sources, to fund future acquisitions and capital expenditures.$125 million.
We expect to fund future capital expenditures with funds generated from our operations, borrowings under our Credit Agreement, Securitization Facility and the issuance of additional limited partnership unitsdebt and equity securities. Future material investments may require that we obtain additional capital, assume third party debt or incur other long-term obligations. We have the issuanceoption to utilize both equity and debt instruments as vehicles for the long-term financing of long-term debt.our investment activities.


Cash Distributions to Unitholders — Our Partnership Agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we distribute all Available Cash, as defined in the Partnership Agreement. We made cash distributions to our common unitholders and general partner of $390$90 million and $362$81 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We intend to continue making quarterly distribution payments to our unitholders and general partner to the extent we have sufficient cash from operations after the establishment of reserves.

As part of the Transaction, Phillips 66 and Enbridge agreed, if required, to provide a reduction to incentive distributions payable to our General Partner under our Partnership Agreement of up to $100 million annually through 2019 to target an approximate 1.0 times distribution coverage ratio.  Under the terms of our amended partnership agreement, the amount of incentive distributions paid to our General Partner will be evaluated by our General Partner on both a quarterly and annual basis and may be reduced each quarter by an amount determined by our general partner (the “IDR giveback”). If no determination is made by our General Partner, the quarterly IDR giveback will be $20 million. The IDR giveback, of up to $100 million annually, will be subject to a true-up at the end of the year by taking our total distributable cash flow (as adjusted under our amended partnership agreement) less the total annual distribution payable to our unitholders, adjusted to target an approximate

1.0 times coverage ratio. In accordance with our amended partnership agreement, distributions declared were $155 million and $424 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Distributions declared reflected no IDR givebacks in the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023 and reflected $40 million2022, respectively.
On April 19, 2023, we announced that the board of IDR givebacks fordirectors of the nine months ended September 30, 2017.General Partner declared a quarterly distribution on our common units of $0.43 per common unit. The distribution will be paid on May 15, 2023 to unitholders of record on May 1, 2023.
Also on April 19, 2023, the board of directors of the General Partner declared a quarterly distribution on our Series B and Series C Preferred Units of $0.4922 and $0.4969 per unit, respectively. The Series B distribution will be paid on June 15, 2023 to unitholders of record on June 1, 2023. The Series C distribution will be paid on July 17, 2023 to unitholders of record on July 3, 2023.
We expect to continue to use cash provided by operating activities for the payment of distributions to our unitholders and general partner.unitholders. See Note 13. "Partnership10. “Partnership Equity and Distributions"Distributions” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. “Financial Statements.”Statements”.

(a)Includes interest payments on debt securities that have been issued. These interest payments are $280 million, $457 million, $355 million, and $2,037 million for less than one year, one to three years, three to five years, and thereafter, respectively.

(b)Our purchase obligations are contractual obligations and include purchase orders and non-cancelable construction agreements for capital expenditures, various non-cancelable commitments to purchase physical quantities of commodities in future periods and other items, including long-term fractionation agreements. For contracts where the price paid is based on an index or other market-based rates, the amount is based on the forward market prices or current market rates as of September 30, 2017. Purchase obligations exclude accounts payable, accrued taxes and other current
liabilities recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Purchase obligations also exclude current and long-term unrealized losses on derivative instruments included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, which represent the current fair value of various derivative contracts and do not represent future cash purchase obligations. These contracts may be settled financially at the difference between the future market price and the contractual price and may result in cash payments or cash receipts in the future, but generally do not require delivery of physical quantities of the underlying commodity. In addition, many of our gas purchase contracts include short and long-term commitments to purchase produced gas at market prices. These contracts, which have no minimum quantities, are excluded from
the table.

(c)Other long-term liabilities include asset retirement obligations, long-term environmental remediation liabilities, gas purchase liabilities, and other miscellaneous liabilities recognized in the September 30, 2017 condensed consolidated balance sheet. The table above excludes non-cash obligations as well as $28 million of Executive Deferred Compensation Plan contributions and $11 million of long-term incentive plans as the amount and timing of any payments are not subject to reasonable estimation.
Off-Balance Sheet Obligations
As of September 30, 2017, we had no items that were classified as off-balance sheet obligations.


Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted Gross Margin and Segment Adjusted Gross Margin — In addition to net income, we view our adjusted gross margin as an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. We review our adjusted gross margin monthly for consistency and trend analysis.
We define adjusted gross margin as total operating revenues, less purchases of natural gas and NGLs,related costs, and we define segment adjusted gross margin for each segment as total operating revenues for that segment less commodity purchases and related costs for that segment. Our adjusted gross margin equals the sum of our segment adjusted gross margins. GrossAdjusted gross margin and segment adjusted gross margin are primary performance measures used by management, as these measures represent the results of product sales and purchases, a key component of our operations. As an indicator of our operating performance, adjusted gross margin and segment adjusted gross margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating revenues, gross margin, segment gross margin, net income or loss, net income or loss attributable to partners, operating income, net cash flows fromprovided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles generally acceptedGAAP.
We believe adjusted gross margin provides useful information to our investors because our management views our adjusted gross margin and segment adjusted gross margin as important performance measures that represent the results of product sales and purchases, a key component of our operations. We review our adjusted gross margin and segment adjusted gross margin monthly for consistency and trend analysis. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that management uses in the United States of America, or GAAP.evaluating our operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA — We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss attributable to partners adjusted for (i) distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, net of earnings, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) net interest expense, (iv) noncontrolling interest in depreciation and income tax expense, (v) unrealized gains and losses from commodity derivatives, (vi) income tax expense or benefit, (vii) impairment expense, and (viii) certain other non-cash items. Adjusted EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Management believes these measures provide investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations.
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or loss, net income or loss attributable to partners, operating income, net cash flows fromprovided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance, liquidity or ability to service debt obligations.
Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure and adjusted segment EBITDA is used as a supplemental performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to assess:
financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing methods or capital structure;
viability and performance of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on investment opportunities; and
in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness, make cash distributions to our unitholders and general partner, and finance maintenancepay capital expenditures.
Adjusted Segment EBITDA — We define adjusted segment EBITDA for each segment as segment net income or loss attributable to partners adjusted for (i) distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, net of earnings, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) net interest expense, (iv) noncontrolling interest in depreciation and income tax expense, (v) unrealized gains and losses from commodity derivatives, (vi) income tax expense or benefit, (vii) impairment expense, and (viii) certain other non-cash items. Adjusted segment EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations for that segment. Our adjusted segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate adjusted segment EBITDA in the same manner.
Adjusted segment EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to our financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, including operating revenues, net income or loss attributable to partners, or any other measure of performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
Our adjusted gross margin, segment adjusted gross margin, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted segment EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate these measures in the
38


same manner. The accompanying schedules provide reconciliations of adjusted gross margin, segment adjusted gross margin and adjusted segment EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.


Distributable Cash Flow — We define Distributable Cash Flow as adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, less maintenancesustaining capital expenditures, net of reimbursable projects, less interest expense, less income attributable to preferred units, and certain other items. MaintenanceSustaining capital

expenditures are cash expenditures made to maintain our cash flows, operating or earnings capacity. These expenditures add on to or improve capital assets owned, including certain system integrity, compliance and safety improvements. MaintenanceSustaining capital expenditures also include certain well connects, and may include the acquisition or construction of new capital assets. Income attributable to preferred units represent cash distributions earned by the preferred units. Cash distributions to be paid to the holders of the preferred units assuming a distribution is declared by the board of directors of the General Partner, are not available to common unit holders. Non-cash mark-to-market of derivative instruments is considered to be non-cash for the purpose of computing Distributable Cash Flow because settlement will not occur until future periods, and will be impacted by future changes in commodity prices and interest rates. We compare the Distributable Cash Flow we generate to the cash distributions we expect to pay our partners. Using this metric, we compute our distribution coverage ratio. Distributable Cash Flow is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, to assess our ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders and our general partner.


Our Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate Distributable Cash Flow in the same manner.

Excess Free Cash Flow — We define Excess Free Cash Flow as Distributable Cash Flow, as defined above, less distributions to limited partners, less expansion capital expenditures, net of reimbursable projects, and contributions to equity method investments and certain other items. Expansion capital expenditures are cash expenditures to increase our cash flows, or operating or earnings capacity. Expansion capital expenditures include acquisitions or capital improvements (where we add on to or improve the capital assets owned, or acquire or construct new gathering lines and well connects, treating facilities, processing plants, fractionation facilities, pipelines, terminals, docks, truck racks, tankage and other storage, distribution or transportation facilities and related or similar midstream assets).

Excess Free Cash Flow is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, and is useful to investors and management as a measure of our ability to generate cash. Once business needs and obligations are met, including cash reserves to provide funds for distribution payments on our units and the proper conduct of our business, which includes cash reserves for future capital expenditures and anticipated credit needs, this cash can be used to reduce debt, reinvest in the company for future growth, or return to unitholders.

Our definition of Excess Free Cash Flow is limited in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures. Therefore, we believe the use of Excess Free Cash Flow for the limited purposes described above and in this report is not a substitute for net cash flows provided by operating activities, which is the most comparable GAAP measure. Excess Free Cash Flow may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of another company because other entities may not calculate Excess Free Cash Flow in the same manner.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in Critical"Critical Accounting Policies and EstimatesEstimates" within exhibit 99.3Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" toincluded in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the May 2017 8-Kyear ended December 31, 2022 and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Exhibit 99.4 “Financial"Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”Data" included as Exhibit 99.4Item 8 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the May 2017 8-K.year ended December 31, 2022. The accounting policies and estimates used in preparing our interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 are the same as those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the May 2017 8-K.year ended December 31, 2022. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the May 2017 8-K.year ended December 31, 2022.

Our sensitivities for 20172023 as shown in the table below are estimated based on our average estimated commodity price exposure and commodity cash flow protection activities for the calendar year 2017, and exclude the impact of non-cash mark-to-market changes on our commodity derivatives. We utilize direct product crude oil, natural gas and NGL derivatives to mitigate a portion of our condensate, natural gas and NGL commodity price exposure. These sensitivities are associated with our condensate, natural gas and NGL volumes that are currently unhedged.

In addition to the linear relationships in our commodity sensitivities above, additional factors may cause us to be less sensitive to commodity price declines. A portion of our net income is derived from fee-based contracts and a portion from percentage-of-proceeds and percentage-of-liquids processing arrangements that contain minimum fee clauses in which our processing margins convert to fee-based arrangements as commodity prices decline.
The above sensitivities exclude the impact from arrangements where producers on a monthly basis may elect to not process their natural gas in which case we retain a portion of the customers’ natural gas in lieu of NGLs as a fee. The above sensitivities also exclude certain related processing arrangements where we control the processing or by-pass of the production based upon individual economic processing conditions. Under each of these types of arrangements, our processing of the natural gas would yield favorable processing margins.
We estimate the following sensitivities related to the non-cash mark-to-market on our commodity derivatives associated with our open position on our commodity cash flow protection activities:

While the above commodity price sensitivities are indicative of the impact that changes in commodity prices may have on our annualized net income, changes during certain periods of extreme price volatility and market conditions or changes in the relationship of the price of NGLs and crude oil may cause our commodity price sensitivities to vary significantly from these estimates.


The midstream natural gas industry is cyclical, with the operating results of companies in the industry significantly affected by the prevailing price of NGLs, which in turn has been generally related to the price of crude oil. Although the prevailing price of residue natural gas has less short-term significance to our operating results than the price of NGLs, in the long-term the growth and sustainability of our business depends on natural gas prices being at levels sufficient to provide incentives and capital for producers to increase natural gas exploration and production. To minimize potential future commodity-based pricing and cash flow volatility, we have entered into a series of derivative financial instruments. As a result of these transactions, we have mitigated a portion of our expected commodity price risk relating to the equity volumes associated with our gathering and processing activities through the first quarter of 2018.
Based on historical trends, we generally expect NGL prices to directionally follow changes in crude oil prices over the long-term. However, the pricing relationship between NGLs and crude oil may vary, as we believe crude oil prices will in large part be determined by the level of production from major crude oil exporting countries and the demand generated by growth in the world economy, whereas NGL prices are more correlated to supply and U.S. petrochemical demand. However,Additionally, the level of

NGL exports has increased in recent years.export demand may also have an impact on prices. We believe that future natural gas prices will be influenced by the severity of winter and summer weather, the level of North American production and drilling activity of exploration and production companies, and the balance of trade between imports and exports of liquid natural gas and NGLs.NGLs and the severity of winter and summer weather. Drilling activity can be adversely affected as natural gas prices decrease. Energy market uncertainty could also reduce North American drilling activity.
42


Limited access to capital could also decrease drilling. Lower drilling levels over a sustained period would reduce natural gas volumes gathered and processed, but could increase commodity prices, if supply were to fall relative to demand levels.
Natural Gas Storage and Pipeline Asset Based Commodity Derivative Program — Our natural gas storage and pipeline assets are exposed to certain risks including changes in commodity prices. We manage commodity price risk related to our natural gas storage and pipeline assets through our commodity derivative program. The commercial activities related to our natural gas storage and pipeline assets primarily consist of the purchase and sale of gas and associated time spreads and basis spreads.
A time spread transaction is executed by establishing a long gas position at one point in time and establishing an equal short gas position at a different point in time. Time spread transactions allow us to lock in a margin supported by the injection, withdrawal, and storage capacity of our natural gas storage assets. We may execute basis spread transactions to mitigate the risk of sale and purchase price differentials across our system. A basis spread transaction allows us to lock in a margin on our physical purchases and sales of gas, including injections and withdrawals from storage. We typically use swaps to execute these transactions, which are not designated as hedging instruments and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the current period condensed consolidated statements of operations. While gas held in our storage locations is recorded at the lower of average cost or market,net realizable value, the derivative instruments that are used to manage our storage facilities are recorded at fair value and any changes in fair value are currently recorded in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Even though we may have economically hedged our exposure and locked in a future margin, the use of lower-of-cost-or-marketlower-of-cost-or-net realizable value accounting for our physical inventory and the use of mark-to-market accounting for our derivative instruments may subject our earnings to market volatility.
