Please read the notes to referthe consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the Definitions page set forth in this report prior to EnLink Oklahoma Gas Processing, LP itself or EnLink Oklahoma Gas Processing, LP together with its consolidated subsidiaries.Part I—Financial Information.

(a)Organization of Business

EnLink Midstream, LLC is a publicly traded Delaware limited liability company formed in October 2013. The Company’s common units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ENLC.”

Our assets consistTransfer of equity interests in EnLink Midstream Partners, LP and EnLink Oklahoma T.O. ENLK is a publicly traded limited partnership engaged in the gathering, transmission, processing and marketing of natural gas and NGLs, condensate and crude oil, as well as providing crude oil, condensate and brine services to producers. EnLink Oklahoma T.O. is a partnership held by us and ENLK and is engaged in the gathering and processing of natural gas. As of September 30, 2017, our interests in ENLK and EnLink Oklahoma T.O. consist of the following:EOGP Interest

88,528,451 common units representing an aggregate 21.8%On January 31, 2019, ENLC transferred its 16.1% limited partner interest in ENLK;EOGP to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 55,827,221 ENLK common units, resulting in the Operating Partnership owning 100% of the limited partner interests in EOGP.

100.0% ownership interestSimplification of the Corporate Structure

On October 21, 2018, ENLK, ENLC, the General Partner, the managing member of ENLC, and NOLA Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which, on January 25, 2019, NOLA Merger Sub merged with and into ENLK, with ENLK continuing as the surviving entity and as a subsidiary of ENLC. As a result of the Merger:

Each issued and outstanding ENLK common unit (except for ENLK common units held by ENLC and its subsidiaries) was converted into 1.15 ENLC common units, which resulted in EnLink Midstream Partners GP, LLC, the general partnerissuance of 304,822,035 ENLC common units.

The General Partner’s incentive distribution rights in ENLK (the “General Partner”), which owns a 0.4% general partner interestwere eliminated.

The Series B Preferred Units continue to be issued and outstanding, except that certain terms of the Series B Preferred Units have been modified pursuant to an amended partnership agreement of ENLK. See “Note 8—Certain Provisions of the Partnership Agreement” for additional information regarding the modified terms of the Series B Preferred Units.

ENLC issued to Enfield, the current holder of the Series B Preferred Units, for no additional consideration, ENLC Class C Common Units equal to the number of Series B Preferred Units held by Enfield immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, in order to provide Enfield with certain voting rights with respect to ENLC. For each additional Series B Preferred Unit issued by ENLK in quarterly in-kind distributions, ENLC will issue an additional ENLC Class C Common Unit to the applicable holder of such Series B Preferred Unit. In addition, for each Series B Preferred Unit that is exchanged into an ENLC common unit, an ENLC Class C Common Unit will be canceled.

The Series C Preferred Units and all of ENLK’s then-existing senior notes continue to be issued and outstanding following the Merger.

Each unit-based award issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger under the GP Plan and the 2014 Plan has been converted into an award with respect to ENLC common units with substantially similar terms as were in effect immediately prior to the effective time.

Each unit-based award with performance-based vesting conditions issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger under the GP Plan has been modified such that the performance metric for such award relates (on a weighted average basis) to (i) the combined performance of ENLC and ENLK for periods preceding the

effective time of the Merger and (ii) the performance of ENLC for periods on and after the effective time of the Merger.

ENLC assumed the outstanding debt under the Term Loan and ENLK became a guarantor thereof. See “Note 6—Long-Term Debt” for additional information regarding the Term Loan.

We refinanced our existing revolving credit facilities at ENLK and ENLC. In connection with the Merger, we entered into the Consolidated Credit Facility, with respect to which ENLK is a guarantor. See “Note 6—Long-Term Debt” for additional information regarding the Consolidated Credit Facility.

We were required to allocate the goodwill in our Corporate reporting unit previously associated with the incentive distribution rights in ENLK;ENLK granted to the General Partner which were created at the formation of ENLC in 2014, to the Permian, North Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana reporting units, which resulted in the recognition of a goodwill impairment of $186.5 million. See “Note 3—Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for more information on this transaction.

16% limited partner interestWe reduced our deferred tax liability (“DTL”) by $399.0 million related to ENLC’s step-up in EnLink Oklahoma T.O.basis of ENLK’s underlying assets with the offsetting credit in members’ equity. See “Note 7—Income Taxes” for more information on the DTA.

(b)Nature of Business

We primarily focus on providing midstream energy services, including including:

gathering, transmission,compressing, treating, processing, fractionation, storage, condensate stabilization, brine servicestransporting, storing, and marketing to producers ofselling natural gas, NGLs,gas;
fractionating, transporting, storing, and selling NGLs; and
gathering, transporting, stabilizing, storing, trans-loading, and selling crude oil and condensate. condensate, in addition to brine disposal services.

We connectOur natural gas business includes connecting the wells of producers in our market areas to our gathering systems. Our gathering systems which consist of networks of pipelines that collect natural gas from points at or near producing wells and transport it to our processing plants or to larger pipelines for further transmission. We operate processing plants that remove NGLs from the natural gas stream whichthat is transported to the processing plants by our own gathering systems or by major interstate and intrastatethird-party pipelines. In conjunction with our gathering and processing business, we may purchase natural gas and NGLs from producers and other supply sources and sell that natural gas or NGLs to utilities, industrial consumers, other marketsmarketers, and pipelines. Our transmission pipelines receive natural gas from our gathering systems and from third partythird-party gathering and transmission systems and deliver natural gas to industrial end-users, utilities, and other pipelines.

Our fractionators separate NGLs into separate purity products, including ethane, propane, iso-butane, normal butane, and natural gasoline. Our fractionators receive NGLs primarily through our transmission lines that transport NGLs from east Texas and from our south Louisiana processing plants. Our fractionators also have the capability to receive NGLs by truck or rail terminals. We also have agreements pursuant to which third parties transport NGLs from our west Texas and central Oklahoma operations to our NGL transmission lines that then transport the NGLs to our fractionators. In addition, we have NGL storage capacity to provide storage for customers.

We also provide a varietyOur crude oil and condensate business includes the gathering and transmission of crude oil and condensate services, which include crude oil and condensate gathering and transmission via pipelines, barges, rail, and trucks, in addition to condensate stabilization and brine disposal. We havealso purchase crude oil and condensate terminal facilitiesfrom producers and other supply sources and sell that provide market access for crude oil and condensate producers.through our terminal facilities to various markets.

Across our businesses, we primarily earn our fees through various fee-based contractual arrangements, which include stated fee-only contract arrangements or arrangements with fee-based components where we purchase and resell commodities in connection with providing the related service and earn a net margin as our fee. We earn our net margin under our purchase and resell contract arrangements primarily as a result of stated service-related fees that are deducted from the price of the commodities purchased. While our transactions vary in form, the essential element of most of our transactions is the use of our assets to transport a product or provide a processed product to an end-user or marketer at the tailgate of the plant, pipeline, or barge, truck, or rail terminal.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

(a)Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, are unaudited, and do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”)GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b)Adopted Accounting StandardsRevenue Recognition

In March 2016,Minimum Volume Commitments and Firm Transportation Contracts

Certain of our gathering and processing agreements provide for quarterly or annual MVCs. Under these agreements, our customers or suppliers agree to ship and/or process a minimum volume of product on our systems over an agreed time period. If a customer or supplier under such an agreement fails to meet its MVC for a specified period, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-09, CompensationStock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvementscustomer is obligated to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplifies several aspects related topay a contractually-determined fee based upon the accounting for share-based payment transactions. Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU 2016-09. We prospectively adopted the guidance that requires excess tax benefits and deficiencies be recognized on the income statement. The cash flow statement guidance requires the presentation of excess tax benefits and deficiencies as an operating activityshortfall between actual product volumes and the presentationMVC for that period. Some of cash paid by an employer when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes asthese agreements also contain make-up right provisions that allow a financing activity, and this treatment is consistent with our historical accounting treatment. Finally, we electedcustomer or supplier to estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest, which is consistent with our historical accounting treatment. The adoptionutilize gathering or processing fees in excess of the new guidance didMVC in subsequent periods to offset shortfall amounts in previous periods. We record revenue under MVC contracts during periods of shortfall when it is known that the customer cannot, or will not, materially affectmake up the deficiency in subsequent periods. Deficiency fee revenue is included in midstream services revenue.

For our firm transportation contracts, we transport commodities owned by others for a stated monthly fee for a specified monthly quantity with an additional fee based on actual volumes. We include transportation fees from firm transportation contracts in our midstream services revenue.

The following table summarizes the contractually committed fees that we expect to recognize in our consolidated statements of operations, in either revenue or reductions to cost of sales, from MVC and firm transportation contractual provisions. All amounts in the table below are determined using the contractually-stated MVC or firm transportation volumes specified for each period multiplied by the relevant deficiency or reservation fee. Actual amounts could differ due to the timing of revenue recognition or reductions to cost of sales resulting from make-up right provisions included in our agreements, as well as due to nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers. These fees do not represent the shortfall amounts we expect to collect under our MVC contracts, as we generally do not expect volume shortfalls to equal the full amount of the contractual MVCs during these periods. For example, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019, we had contractual commitments of $38.5 million under our MVC contracts and recorded $3.8 million of revenue due to volume shortfalls.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350)Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step two of the goodwill impairment test referenced in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). As a result, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the impairment loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including any interim impairment tests within those annual periods, with early application permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. In January 2017, we elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04, and the adoption had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will perform future goodwill impairment tests according to ASU 2017-04.

(c)Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods

In February 2016,On August 29, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,2018-15, Leases (Topic 842)Amendments to the FASBCustomer’s Accounting Standards Codificationfor Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (“ASU 2016-02”2018-15”). Lessees, which amends ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software (“ASC 350-40”) to address a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Specifically, the ASU amends ASC 350-40 to include in its scope implementation costs of a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and clarifies that a customer should apply ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs should be capitalized in a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract. To the extent costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement are capitalizable, the corresponding amortization will need to recognize virtually allbe included in “Operating expenses” or “General and administrative” in the consolidated statement of theiroperations, rather than “Depreciation and amortization.” We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-15 on our consolidated financial statements and will adopt ASU 2018-15 effective January 1, 2020.

(d) Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842, Leases, using the modified retrospective approach whereby we recognized leases on theour consolidated balance sheet by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability. Lessor accounting is similarWe applied certain practical expedients that were allowed in the adoption of ASC 842, including not reassessing existing contracts for lease arrangements, not reassessing existing lease classification, not recording a right-of-use asset or lease liability for leases of twelve months or less, and not separating lease and non-lease components of a lease arrangement. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842 in January 2019, we recorded a lease liability of $97.6 million, a right-of-use asset of $75.3 million, and a reduction of $22.6 million in other liabilities previously recorded related to lease incentives. For additional information about our adoption of ASC 842, refer to “Note 5—Leases.”

(3) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

In March 2014, at the time of our transactions with Devon that led us to become publicly held, we recorded goodwill in our corporate reporting unit at ENLC that was associated with the General Partner’s incentive distribution rights in ENLK. Prior to the current model, but updatedcompletion of the Merger in January 2019, ENLC’s aggregate fair value of its reporting units was in excess of the consolidated book value of its assets, including all goodwill, which would not have resulted in a goodwill impairment on a consolidated basis. Upon the completion of the Merger, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and other (“ASC 350”), the portion of goodwill on our corporate reporting unit that was previously associated with the General Partner’s incentive distribution rights in ENLK was required to align with certainbe reallocated to the four remaining reporting units based on the relative fair value of each of the reporting units. Due to the application of ASC 350, we were required to allocate goodwill to reporting units at which goodwill had previously been impaired due to book value in excess of fair value. As a result of the allocated goodwill, we recognized a $186.5 million impairment related to our Louisiana segment in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

The table below provides a summary of our change in carrying amount of goodwill (in millions) for the three months ended March 31, 2019, by segment. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, there were no changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. Existing sale-leaseback guidance is replaced with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. Additional revisions have been made to embedded leases, reassessment requirements and lease term assessments including variable lease payment, discount rate and lease incentives. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Entities are required to adopt ASU 2016-02 using a modified retrospective transition. We are currently assessing the impactcarrying amounts of adopting ASU 2016-02. This assessment includes the gathering and evaluation of our current lease contracts and the analysis of contracts that may contain lease components. While we cannot currently estimate the quantitative effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements, the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will increase our asset and liability balances on the consolidated balance sheets due to the required recognition of right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities for all lease obligations that are currently classified as operating leases. In addition, there are industry-specific concerns with the implementation of ASU 2016-02, including the application of ASU 2016-02 to contracts involving easements/right-of-ways, which will require further evaluation before we are able to fully assess the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which established ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 will replace existing revenue recognition requirements in GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which they expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. ASC 606 will also require significantly expanded disclosures containing qualitative and quantitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (“ASU 2016-12”), which updated ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-12 clarifies certain core recognition principles, including collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition and disclosures no longer required if the full retrospective transition method is adopted. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-12 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, and are to be applied using the modified retrospective or full retrospective transition methods, with early application permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We will adopt ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method for annual and interim reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018.

We have aggregated and reviewed our contracts that are within the scope of ASC 606. Based on our evaluation to date, we do not anticipate the adoption of ASC 606 will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, ASC 606 will affect how certain transactions are recorded in the financial statements. For each contract with a customer, we will need to identify our performance obligations, of which the identification includes careful evaluation of when control and the economic benefits of the commodities transfer from our customer to us. The evaluation of control will change the way we account for certain transactions, specifically those in which there is both a commodity purchase component and a service component. For contracts where control of commodities transfers to us before we perform our services, we generally have no performance obligation for our services, and accordingly, we will not consider these revenue-generating contracts. Based on that determination, all fees or fee-equivalent deductions stated in such contracts would reduce the cost to purchase commodities. Alternatively, for contracts where control of commodities transfers to us after we perform our services, we have performance obligations for our services. Accordingly, we will consider the satisfaction of these performance obligations as revenue-generating and recognize these fees as midstream service revenues at the time we satisfy our performance obligations. For contracts where control of commodities never transfers to us and we simply earn a fee for our services, we will recognize these fees as midstream services revenues at the time we satisfy our performance obligations. Based on our review of our performance obligations in our contracts with customers, we will change the statement of operations classification for certain transactions from revenue to cost of sales or from cost of sales to revenue. This reclassification of revenues and costs will have no effect on operating income.

Our performance obligations represent promises to transfer a series of distinct goods or services that are satisfied over time and that are substantially the same to the customer. As permitted by ASC 606, we will utilize the practical expedient that allows an entity to recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice if an entity has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to date. Accordingly, ASC 606 will not significantly affect the timing of income and expense on the statement of operations, and we will continue to recognize revenue at the time commodities are delivered or services are performed.

Based on the disclosure requirements of ASC 606, upon adoption, we expect to provide expanded disclosures relating to our revenue recognition policies and how these relate to our revenue-generating contractual performance obligations. In addition, we expect to present revenues disaggregated based on the type of good or service in order to more fully depict the nature of our revenues.

(d)    Property & Equipment

Impairment Review. We evaluate our property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the undiscounted sum of the future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management’s best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions. When the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized impairments of $8.8 million, which related to the carrying values of rights-of-way that we are no longer using and an abandoned brine disposal well.

(e) Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is composed of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), which consists of the effective portion of gains or losses on derivative financial instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we reclassified an immaterial amount of losses from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings. For additional information, see “Note 13—Derivatives.”

(3) Acquisition

On January 7, 2016, ENLC and ENLK acquired a 16% and 84% voting interest, respectively, in EnLink Oklahoma T.O. for approximately $1.4 billion. The first installment of $1.02 billion for the acquisition was paid at closing. The second installment of $250.0 million was paid on January 6, 2017, and the final installment of $250.0 million is due no later than January 7, 2018. ENLK’s installment payables are valued net of discount within the total purchase price.
The first installment of approximately $1.02 billion was funded by (a) approximately $783.6 million in cash paid by ENLK, which was primarily derived from the issuance of Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Units (“Series B Preferred Units”), (b) 15,564,009 common units representing limited liability company interests in ENLC issued directly by ENLC and (c) approximately $22.2 million in cash paid by ENLC. The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method.

The following table presents the consideration ENLC and ENLK paid and the fair value of the identified assets received and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in millions):
Consideration: 
Cash$805.8
Issuance of ENLC common units214.9
ENLK’s total installment payable, net of discount of $79.1 million assuming payments made on January 7, 2017 and 2018420.9
Total consideration$1,441.6
  
Purchase Price Allocation: 
Assets acquired: 
Current assets (including $12.8 million in cash)$23.0
Property, plant and equipment406.1
Intangibles1,051.3
Liabilities assumed: 
Current liabilities(38.8)
Total identifiable net assets$1,441.6

The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 inputs. We recognized intangible assets related to customer relationships and determined their fair value using the income approach. The acquired intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated customer life of approximately 15 years.

We incurred a total of $4.8 million of direct transaction costs, of which $4.4 million was recognized as expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized $77.3 million and $149.5 million of revenues, respectively, and $4.4 million and $27.9 million of net loss, respectively, related to the assets acquired.

(4) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill is the cost of an acquisition less the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business. The fair value of goodwill is based on inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 inputs. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually as of October 31 and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

We perform our goodwill assessments at the reporting unit level for all reporting units. We use a discounted cash flow analysis to perform the assessments. Key assumptions in the analysis include the use of an appropriate discount rate, terminal year multiples and estimated future cash flows, including volume and price forecasts and estimated operating and general and administrative costs. In estimating cash flows, we incorporate current and historical market and financial information, among other factors. Impairment determinations involve significant assumptions and judgments, and differing assumptions regarding any of these inputs could have a significant effect on the various valuations. 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.

During February 2016, we determined that weakness in the overall energy sector, driven by low commodity prices, together with a decline in our unit price, caused a change in circumstances warranting an interim impairment test. Based on these triggering events, we performed a goodwill impairment analysis in the first quarter of 2016 on all reporting units. Based on this analysis, a goodwill impairment loss for our Texas, Crude and Condensate, and Corporate reporting units in the amount of $873.3 million was recognized in the first quarter of 2016 and is included as an impairment loss on the consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We concluded that the fair value of our Oklahoma reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and the amount of goodwill disclosed on the consolidated balance sheet associated with this reporting unit is recoverable. Therefore, no goodwill impairment was identified or recorded for this reporting unit as a result of our goodwill impairment analysis.

During the first quarter of 2017, we elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step two of the goodwill impairment test referenced in ASC 350. Although no goodwill impairment tests were required during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we will perform future goodwill impairment tests according to ASU 2017-04. For additional information, see “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies.”

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets associated with customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefits of the customer relationships, which range from ten5 to twenty20 years.

The following table represents our change in carrying value of intangible assets (in millions):
Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying AmountGross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount

(b) Transactions with Devon

On July 18, 2018, subsidiaries of Devon sold all of their equity interests in ENLK, ENLC, and the managing member of ENLC to GIP for aggregate consideration of $3.125 billion. Accordingly, Devon is no longer an affiliate of ENLK or ENLC. The sale did not affect our commercial arrangements with Devon, except that Devon agreed to extend through 2029 certain existing fixed-fee gathering and processing contracts related to the Bridgeport plant in north Texas and the Cana plant in Oklahoma. Prior to July 18, 2018, revenues from transactions with Devon Energy Corporation (“Devon”) and other are included in “Product sales—related parties. parties” or “Midstream services—related parties” in the consolidated statement of operations. Revenues from transactions with Devon after July 18, 2018 are included in “Product sales” or “Midstream services” in the consolidated statement of operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, Devon accounted for 15.0% and 15.4%9.8% of our revenues, respectively, and forrevenues.

The amounts related to related party transactions are specified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(5) Leases

Effective with the adoption of ASC 842 in January 2019, we evaluate new contracts at inception to determine if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for periodic payments. A lease exists if we obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of an asset, and we have the right to direct the use of that asset. When a lease exists, we record a right-of-use asset that represents our right to use the asset over the lease term and a lease liability that represents our obligation to make payments over the lease term. Lease liabilities are recorded at the sum of future lease payments discounted by the collateralized rate we could obtain to lease a similar asset over a similar period, and right-of-use assets are recorded equal to the corresponding lease liability, plus any prepaid or direct costs incurred to enter the lease, less the cost of any incentives received from the lessor. The majority of our leases are for the following types of assets:

Office space- Our primary offices are in Dallas, Houston, and Midland, with smaller offices in other locations near our assets. Our office leases are long-term in nature and represent $64.1 million of our lease liability and $42.8 million of our right-of-use asset as of March 31, 2019. These office leases typically include variable lease costs related to utility expenses, which are determined based on our pro-rata share of the building expenses each month and expensed as incurred.

Compression and other field equipment- We pay third parties to provide compressors or other field equipment for our assets. Under these agreements, a third party installs and operates compressor units based on specifications set by us to meet our compression needs at specific locations. While the third party determines which compressors to install and operates and maintains the units, we have the right to control the use of the compressors and are the sole economic beneficiary of the identified assets. These agreements are typically for an initial term of one to three years but will automatically renew from month to month until canceled by us or the lessor. Compression and other field equipment rentals represent $19.2 million of our lease liability and $23.0 million of our right-of-use asset as of March 31, 2019. Under certain agreements, we may incur variable lease costs related to incidental services provided by the equipment lessor, which are expensed as incurred.

Office equipment- We rent office equipment for a monthly fee. These leases are typically for several years and represent $0.8 million of our lease liability and $0.8 million of our right-of-use asset as of March 31, 2019.

Land and land easements- We make periodic payments to lease land or to have access to our assets. Land leases and easements are typically long-term to match the expected useful life of the corresponding asset and represent $14.9 million of our lease liability and $13.2 million of our right-of-use asset as of March 31, 2019.

ENLCConsolidated Credit Facility

We haveOn December 11, 2018, ENLC entered into the Consolidated Credit Facility, which permits ENLC to borrow up to $1.75 billion on a $250.0 million revolving credit facility that matures on March 7, 2019basis and includes a $125.0$500.0 million letter of credit subfacility (the “ENLCsubfacility. The Consolidated Credit Facility”). OurFacility became available for borrowings and letters of credit upon closing of the Merger. In addition, ENLK became a guarantor under the Consolidated Credit Facility upon the closing of the Merger. In the event that ENLC defaults on the Consolidated Credit Facility, ENLK will be liable for the entire outstanding balance ($160.0 million as of March 31, 2019), and 105% of the outstanding letters of credit under the Consolidated Credit Facility. The obligations under the ENLCConsolidated Credit Facility are guaranteed by twounsecured.
The Consolidated Credit Facility includes procedures for additional financial institutions to become lenders, or for any existing lender to increase its revolving commitment thereunder, subject to an aggregate maximum of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and secured by first priority liens$2.25 billion for all commitments under the Consolidated Credit Facility.

The applicable margins vary depending on ENLC’s debt rating. Upon breach by ENLC of certain covenants governing the Consolidated Credit Facility, amounts outstanding under the Consolidated Credit Facility, if any, may become due and payable immediately.

At March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with and expect to be in compliance with the covenants of the Consolidated Credit Facility for at least the next twelve months.
Term Loan

On December 11, 2018, ENLK entered into the Term Loan with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Bank of Montreal and Royal Bank of Canada, as Co-Syndication Agents, Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents, and the lenders party thereto. On December 11, 2018, ENLK borrowed $850.0 million under the Term Loan and used the net proceeds to repay obligations outstanding under the ENLK Credit Facility. Upon the closing of the Merger, ENLC assumed ENLK’s obligations under the Term Loan, and ENLK became a guarantor of the Term Loan. In the event that ENLC defaults on the Term Loan, the outstanding balance immediately becomes due, and ENLK will be liable for any amount owed on the Term Loan not paid by ENLC. The outstanding balance of the Term Loan was $850.0 million as of March 31, 2019. The obligations under the Term Loan are unsecured.

The Term Loan will mature on December 10, 2021. The Term Loan contains certain financial, operational, and legal covenants. The financial covenants are tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The financial covenants include (i) maintaining a ratio of consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Term Loan, which term includes projected EBITDA from certain capital expansion projects) to consolidated interest charges of no less than 2.5 to 1.0 at all times prior to the occurrence of an investment grade event (as defined in the Term Loan) and (ii) maintaining a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA of no more than 5.0 to 1.0. If ENLC consummates one or more acquisitions in which the aggregate purchase price is $50.0 million or more, ENLC can elect to increase the maximum allowed ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to 5.5 to 1.0 for the quarter in which the acquisition occurs and the three subsequent quarters.

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at ENLC’s option at the Eurodollar Rate (the LIBOR Rate) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.0% to 1.75%) or the Base Rate (the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, the 30-day Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% or the administrative agent’s prime rate) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.75% to 1.50%). The applicable margins vary depending on our leverage ratio. Upon breach by us of certain covenants governing the ENLC Credit Facility, amounts outstanding under the ENLC Credit Facility, if any, may become due and payable immediately and the liens securing the ENLC Credit Facility could be foreclosed upon. At September 30, 2017, ENLC was in compliance and expects to be in compliance with the covenants in the ENLC Credit Facility for at least the next twelve months.

As of September 30, 2017, there were no outstanding letters of credit and $74.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the ENLC Credit Facility, leaving approximately $176.0 million available for future borrowing based on the borrowing capacity of $250.0 million.

ENLK Credit Facility

ENLK has a $1.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on March 6, 2020 (the “ENLK Credit Facility”), which includes a $500.0 million letter of credit subfacility. Under the ENLK Credit Facility, ENLK is permitted to (1) subject to certain conditions and the receipt of additional commitments by one or more lenders, increase the aggregate commitments under the ENLK Credit Facility by an additional amount not to exceed $500.0 million and (2) subject to certain conditions and the consent of the requisite lenders, on two separate occasions extend the maturity date of the ENLK Credit Facility by one year on each occasion. The ENLK Credit Facility contains certain financial, operational and legal covenants. Among other things, these covenants include maintaining a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (which is defined in the ENLK Credit Facility and includes projected EBITDA from certain capital expansion projects) of no more than 5.0 to 1.0. If ENLK consummates one or more acquisitions in which the aggregate purchase price is $50.0 million or more, ENLK can elect to increase the maximum allowed ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to 5.5 to 1.0 for the quarter of the acquisition and the three following quarters.

Borrowings under the ENLK Credit Facility bear interest at ENLK’s option at the Eurodollar Rate (the LIBOR Rate) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.00% to 1.75%) or the Base Rate (the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, the 30-day Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% or the administrative agent’s prime rate) plus an applicable margin (ranging from zero percent0.0% to 0.75%). The applicable margins vary depending on ENLK’s creditENLC’s debt rating.

(8) Certain ProvisionsAs a result of the Partnership Agreement

(a)Issuance of ENLK Common Units

In November 2014, ENLK entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2014 EDA”) with BMO Capital Markets Corp., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Jefferies LLC, Raymond James & Associates, Inc.Merger, we acquired all issued and RBC Capital Markets, LLC to sell up to $350.0 million in aggregate gross sales ofoutstanding ENLK common units from timethat were not already held by us or our subsidiaries in exchange for the issuance of ENLC common units. See “Note 1—General” for more information regarding this transaction. This was a taxable exchange to time through an “atour unitholders, and we received a step-up in tax basis of the market” equity offering program.underlying assets acquired. In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the step-up in our basis reduced our DTL by $399.0 million, and the resulting DTA will be realized over the tax-basis depreciable life of the underlying assets.

As of March 31, 2019, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $368.5 million that represent a net deferred tax asset of $77.4 million. As of December 31, 2018, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $323.6 million that represent a net deferred tax asset of $67.9 million. These carryforwards will begin expiring in 2028 through 2038. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the future results of operations will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize these net operating loss carryforwards before they expire.

(“Enfield”) in a private placement for a cash purchase price of $15.00$0.28125 per Series B Preferred Unit (the “Issue Price”), resulting in net proceeds of approximately $724.1 million after fees and deductions. Proceeds from the private placement were used to partially fund ENLK’s portion of the purchase price payable in connection with the acquisition of ENLK’s EnLink Oklahoma T.O. assets. Affiliates of the Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and affiliates of TPG Global, LLC own interests in the general partner of Enfield. The Series B Preferred Units are convertible into ENLK common units on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments (a) in full, at ENLK’s option, if the volume weighted average price of a common unit over the 30-trading day period ending two trading days prior to the conversion date (the “Conversion VWAP”) is greater than 150% of the Issue Price or (b) in full or in part, at Enfield’s option. In addition, upon certain events involving a change of control of ENLK’s general partner or the managing member of ENLC, all of the Series B Preferred Units will automatically convert into a number of common units equal to the greater of (i) the number of common units into which the Series B Preferred Units would then convert and (ii) the number of Series B Preferred Units to be converted multiplied by an amount equal to (x) 140% of the Issue Price divided by (y) the Conversion VWAP.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016 through the quarter ended June 30, 2017, Enfield received a quarterly distribution equal to an annual rate of 8.5% on the Issue Price payable in-kind in the form of additional Series B Preferred Units. For the quarter ended September 30, 2017 and each subsequent quarter, Enfield is entitled to receive a quarterly distribution, subject to certain adjustments, equal to an annual rate of 7.5% on the Issue Price payable in cash (the “Cash Distribution Component”) plus an in-kind distribution equal to the greater of (A) 0.0025 Series B Preferred Units per Series B Preferred Unit and (B) an amount equal to (i) the excess, if any, of the distribution that would have been payable had the Series B Preferred Units converted into ENLK common units over the Cash Distribution Component, divided by (ii) the Issue Price.issue price of $15.00 (the “Issue Price”).

ENLK used the net proceeds of $393.7 million for capital expenditures, general partnership purposes and to repay borrowings under the ENLK Credit Facility. The Series C Preferred Units represent perpetual equity interests in ENLK and, unlike ENLK indebtedness, will not give rise to a claim for payment of a principal amount at a particular date.

The Series C Preferred Units will rank junior to the Series B Preferred Units with respect to the payment of distributions, and junior to the Series B Preferred Units and all current and future indebtedness with respect to amounts payable upon a liquidation event. Income is allocated to the Series C Preferred Units in an amount equal to the earned distributions for the respective reporting period.

At any time on or after December 15, 2022, ENLK may redeem, at ENLK’s option, in whole or in part, the Series C Preferred Units at a redemption price in cash equal to $1,000 per Series C Preferred Unit plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid distributions, whether or not declared. ENLK may undertake multiple partial redemptions. In addition, at any time within 120 days after the conclusion of any review or appeal process instituted by ENLK following certain rating agency events, ENLK may redeem, at ENLK’s option, the Series C Preferred Units in whole at a redemption price in cash per unit equal to $1,020 plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid distributions, whether or not declared.

Distributions on the Series C Preferred Units accrue and are cumulative from the date of original issue and payable semi-annually in arrears on the 15th day of June and December of each year through and including December 15, 2022 and, thereafter, quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September, and December of each year, in each case, if and when declared by ENLK’s general partnerthe General Partner out of legally available funds for such purpose. The initial distribution rate for the Series C Preferred Units from and including the date of original issue to, but not including, December 15, 2022 is 6.0% per annum. On and after December 15, 2022, distributions on the Series C Preferred Units will accumulate for each distribution period at a percentage of the $1,000 liquidation preference per unit equal to an annual floating rate of the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.11%.

(d)ENLK Common Unit Distributions

Unless restricted by the terms of the ENLK Credit Facility and/or the indentures governing ENLK’s unsecured senior notes, ENLK must make distributions of 100% of available cash, as defined in its partnership agreement, within 45 days following the end of each quarter. Distributions are made to the General Partner in accordance with its current percentage interest with the remainder to the common unitholders, subject to the payment of incentive distributions as described below to the extent that certain target levels of cash distributions are achieved. The General Partner is not entitled to incentive

(12)(11) Employee Incentive Plans

(a)Long-Term Incentive Plans

Prior to the Merger, ENLC and ENLK each havehad similar unit-based compensation payment plans for officers and employees. ENLC grants unit-based awards under the EnLink Midstream, LLC 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, (the “LLC Plan”), and ENLK grantsgranted unit-based awards under the amendedGP Plan. As of the closing of the Merger, (i) ENLC assumed all obligations in respect of the GP Plan and restated EnLink Midstreamthe outstanding awards granted thereunder (the “Legacy ENLK Awards”) and (ii) the Legacy ENLK Awards converted into ENLC unit-based awards using the 1.15 exchange ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as the conversion rate. In addition, as of the closing of the Merger, the performance metric of each Legacy ENLK Award and each then outstanding award under the 2014 Plan with performance-based vesting conditions was modified as discussed in (c) and (e) below.Following the consummation of the Merger, no additional awards will be granted under the GP LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “GP Plan”).Plan.

We account for unit-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), which requires that compensation related to all unit-based awards be recognized onin the consolidated financial statements. Unit-based

(c)EnLink Midstream Partners, LP Performance Units

ForPrior to the nine months ended September 30, 2017,Merger, the General Partner and EnLink Midstream Manager, LLC, our managing member, granted performance awards under the GP Plan and the LLC Plan, respectively.Plan. The performance award agreements provideprovided that the vesting of performance units (i.e., performance-based restricted incentive unitsunits) granted thereunder iswas dependent on the achievement of certain total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance goals relative to the TSR achievement of a peer group of companies (the “Peer Companies”) over the applicable performance period. The performance award agreements contemplatecontemplated that the Peer Companies for an individual performance award (the “Subject Award”) arewere the companies comprising the Alerian MLP Index for Master Limited Partnerships (“AMZ”),AMZ, excluding ENLCENLK and ENLK (collectively, “EnLink”),ENLC, on the grant date for the Subject Award. The performance units willwould vest based on the percentile ranking of the average of ENLC’sENLK’s and ENLK’sENLC’s TSR achievement (“EnLink TSR”) for the applicable performance period relative to the TSR achievement of the Peer Companies.

As of the closing of the Merger, these performance-based Legacy ENLK Awards were modified, such that, the performance goal will, on a weighted average basis, (i) continue to relate to the EnLink TSR relative to the TSR performance of the Peer Companies in respect of periods preceding the effective time of the Merger; and (ii) relate solely to the TSR performance of ENLC relative to the TSR performance of such Peer Companies in respect of periods on and after the effective time of the Merger. At the end of the vesting period, recipients receive distribution equivalents, if any, with respect to the number of performance units vested. The vesting of units rangeranges from zero to 200% of the units granted depending on the EnLink TSR as comparedextent to which the TSR ofrelated performance goals are achieved over the Peer Companies on the vesting date. relevant performance period.

The fair value of each performance unit iswas estimated as of the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions used for all performance unit grants made under the plan: (i) a risk-free interest rate based on United States Treasury rates as of the grant date; (ii) a volatility assumption based on the historical realized price volatility of ENLK’s common units and the designated peer groupPeer Companies’ securities; (iii) an estimated ranking of ENLK among the designated peer group;Peer Companies; and (iv) the distribution yield. The fair value of the performance unit on the date of grant is expensed over a vesting period of approximately three years. The following table presents a summary of the grant-date fair value assumptions by performance unit grant date:

For all restricted incentive unit awards granted after March 8, 2019 to certain officers and employees (the “grantee”), such awards (the “Subject Grants”) generally provide that, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the agreement, the Subject Grants will vest on the third anniversary of the vesting commencement date (the “Regular Vesting Date”). The Subject Grants will be forfeited if the grantee’s employment or service with ENLC and its affiliates terminates prior to the Regular Vesting Date except that the Subject Grants will vest in full or on a pro-rated basis for certain terminations of employment or service prior to the Regular Vesting Date. For instance, the Subject Grants will vest on a pro-rated basis for any terminations of the grantee’s employment: (i) due to retirement, (ii) by ENLC or its affiliates without cause, or (iii) by the grantee for good reason (each, a “Covered Termination” and more particularly defined in the Subject Grants agreement) except that the Subject Grants will vest in full if the applicable Covered Termination is a “normal retirement” (as defined in the Subject Grants

As of March 31, 2019, there was $16.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost that related to non-vested ENLC performance units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

In connection with the GIP Transaction, certain outstanding performance unit agreements were modified to, among other things: (i) provide that the awards granted thereunder did not vest due to the closing of the GIP Transaction, and (ii) increase the minimum vesting of units from zero to 100% as described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2018. The modified performance units retained the original vesting schedules. As a result of the modifications, we will recognize an additional $2.1 million compensation cost over the life of these ENLC performance units.

In connection with the Merger, Legacy ENLK Awards with “performance-based” vesting and payment conditions were modified to reflect the Performance Metric Adjustment (as defined in the Merger Agreement) as described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on January 29, 2019. The modified performance units retained the original vesting schedules. As a result of the modifications, we will recognize an additional $0.7 million in compensation costs over the life of the Legacy ENLK Awards.

2019 Performance Unit Awards

For all performance awards granted after March 8, 2019 to the grantee, the vesting of performance units is dependent on (a) the grantee’s continued employment or service with ENLC or its affiliates for all relevant periods and (b) EnLink TSR and a performance goal based on cash flow (“Cash Flow”). At the time of grant, the Board of Directors of the managing member of ENLC (the “Board”) will determine the relative weighting of the two performance goals by including in the award agreement the number of units that will be eligible for vesting depending on the achievement of the TSR performance goals (the “Total TSR Units”) versus the achievement of the Cash Flow performance goals (the “Total CF Units”). These performance awards have four separate performance periods: (i) three performance periods are each of the first, second, and third calendar years that occur following the vesting commencement date of the performance awards and (ii) the fourth performance period is the cumulative three-year period from the vesting commencement date through the third anniversary thereof (the “Cumulative Performance Period”).

One-fourth of the Total TSR Units (the “Tranche TSR Units”) relates to each of the four performance periods described above. Following the end date of a given performance period, the Governance and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board will measure and determine the TSR performance of ENLC (the “ENLC TSR”) relative to the TSR performance of a designated group of peer companies (the “Designated Peer Companies”) to determine the Tranche TSR Units that are eligible to vest, subject to the grantee’s continued employment or service with ENLC or its affiliates through the end date of the Cumulative Performance Period. In short, the TSR for a given performance period is defined as (i)(A) the average closing price of a common equity security at the end of the relevant performance period minus (B) the average closing price of a common equity security at the beginning of the relevant performance period plus (C) reinvested dividends divided by (ii) the average closing price of a common equity security at the beginning of the relevant performance period.

The following table sets out the levels at which the Tranche TSR Units may vest (using linear interpolation) based on the ENLC TSR percentile ranking for the applicable performance period relative to the TSR achievement of the Designated Peer Companies:

Approximately one-third of the Total CF Units (the “Tranche CF Units”) relates to each of the first three performance periods described above (i.e., the Cash Flow performance goal does not relate to the Cumulative Performance Period). The Board will establish the Cash Flow performance targets for purposes of the column in the table below titled “ENLC’s Achieved Cash Flow” for each performance period no later than March 31 of the year in which the relevant performance period begins. Following the end date of a given performance period, the Committee will measure and determine the Cash Flow performance of ENLC to determine the Tranche CF Units that are eligible to vest, subject to the grantee’s continued employment or service with ENLC or its affiliates through the end of the Cumulative Performance Period. In short, the Performance-Based Award Agreement defines Cash Flow for a given performance period as (A)(i) ENLC’s adjusted EBITDA minus (ii) interest expense, current taxes and other, maintenance capital expenditures, and preferred unit accrued distributions divided by (B) the time-weighted average number of ENLC’s common units outstanding during the relevant performance period. The following table sets out the levels at which the Tranche CF Units will be eligible to vest (using linear interpolation) based on the Cash Flow performance of ENLC for the performance period ending December 31, 2019:
Performance LevelENLC’s Achieved Cash Flow

ThresholdEqual to $1.4350%
TargetEqual to $1.55100%
MaximumGreater than or Equal to $1.72200%

The fair value of each performance unit is estimated as of the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation with the following assumptions used for all performance unit grants made under the plan: (i) a risk-free interest rate based on United States Treasury rates as of the grant date; (ii) a volatility assumption based on the historical realized price volatility of ENLC’s common units and the designated peer group securities;Designated Peer Companies’ or Peer Companies’ securities as applicable; (iii) an estimated ranking of ENLC among the designated peer groupDesignated Peer Companies or Peer Companies, and (iv) the distribution yield. The fair value of the performance unit on the date of grant is expensed over a vesting period of approximately three years.

Interest Rate Swaps
    
We periodically enter into interest rate swaps in connection with new debt issuances. During the debt issuance process, we are exposed to variability in future long-term debt interest payments that may result from changes in the benchmark interest rate (commonly the U.S. Treasury yield) prior to the debt being issued. In order to hedge this variability, we enter into interest rate swaps to effectively lock in the benchmark interest rate at the inception of the swap. Prior to 2017, we did not designate interest rate swaps as hedges and, therefore, included the associated settlement gains and losses as interest expense, net of interest income, on the consolidated statements of operations.

In May 2017, we entered into an interest rate swap in connection with the issuance of theENLK’s 2047 Notes. In accordance with ASC 815, we designated this swap as a cash flow hedge. Upon settlement of the interest rate swap in May 2017, we recorded the associated $2.2 million settlement loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets. We will amortize the settlement loss into interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations over the term of the 2047 Notes. There was no ineffectiveness related to the hedge. We have no open interest rate swap positions as of September 30, 2017. In addition, the settlement loss is included as an operating cash outflow on the consolidated statements of cash flows.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we amortized an immaterial amount of the settlement loss into interest expense from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We expect to recognize $0.1 million of interest expense out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) over the next twelve months.
In July 2016, we entered into an We have no open interest rate swap in connection with ENLK’s issuancepositions as of its 4.85% senior unsecured notes due 2026. We did not designate this swap as a cash flow hedge. Upon settlement of the interest rate swap in July 2016, we recorded the associated $0.4 million gain on settlement in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2019.

Commodity Swaps

We manage our exposure to changes in commodity prices by hedging the impact of market fluctuations. Commodity swaps are used both to manage and hedge price and location risk related to these market exposures. Commodity swaps are also usedexposures and to manage margins on offsetting fixed-price purchase or sale commitments for physical quantities of crude, condensate, natural gas, and NGLs. We do not designate commodity swap transactionsswaps as cash flow or fair value hedges for hedge accounting treatment under ASC 815. Therefore, changes in the fair value of our derivatives are recorded in revenue in the period incurred. In addition, our commodity risk management policy does not allow us to take speculative positions with our derivative contracts.

We commonly enter into index (float-for-float) or fixed-for-float swaps in order to mitigate our cash flow exposure to fluctuations in the future prices of natural gas, NGLs, and crude oil. For natural gas, index swaps are used to protect against the price exposure of daily priced gas versus first-of-month priced gas. TheyFor condensate, crude oil, and natural gas, index swaps are also used to hedge the basis location price risk resulting from supply and markets being priced on different indices. For natural gas, NGLs, condensate, and crude oil, fixed-for-float swaps are used to protect cash flows against price fluctuations: (1) where we receive a percentage of liquids as a fee for processing third-party gas or where we receive a portion of the proceeds of the sales of natural gas and liquids as a fee, (2) in the natural gas processing and fractionation components of our business and (3) where we are mitigating the price risk for product held in inventory or storage.

On all transactions where we are exposed to counterparty risk, we analyze the counterparty’s financial condition prior to entering into an agreement, establish limits, and monitor the appropriateness of these limits on an ongoing basis. We primarily deal with two types of counterparties, financial institutions and other energy companies, when entering into financial derivatives on commodities. We have entered into Master International Swaps and Derivatives Association Agreements (“ISDAs”)ISDAs that allow for netting of swap contract receivables and payables in the event of default by either party. If our counterparties failed to perform under existing swap contracts, ourthe maximum loss on our gross receivable position of $4.7$13.3 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 would be reduced to $1.7$7.5 million due to the offsetting of gross fair value payables against gross fair value receivables as allowed by the ISDAs.

(14)(13) Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), sets forth a framework for measuring fair value and required disclosures about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. Fair value under ASC 820 is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, use of unobservable prices or inputs are used to estimate the current fair value, often using an internal valuation model. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the item being valued.

ASC 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Our derivative contracts primarily consist of commodity swap contracts, which are not traded on a public exchange. The fair values of commodity swap contracts are determined using discounted cash flow techniques. The techniques incorporate Level 1 and Level 2 inputs for future commodity prices that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly-quoted markets. These market inputs are utilized in the discounted cash flow calculation considering the instrument’s term, notional amount, discount rate, and credit risk and are classified as Level 2 in hierarchy.

Net assets (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions):

The carrying value of long-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt, is reduced by debt issuance costs of $27.2$28.4 million and $24.6$24.5 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, respectively. The respective fair values do not factor in debt issuance costs.

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

ENLK had no outstanding borrowings under the ENLK Credit Facility asAs of September 30, 2017 and $120.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the ENLK Credit Facility as of DecemberMarch 31, 2016. ENLC had $74.0 million and $27.8 million in outstanding borrowings under the ENLC Credit Facility as of September 30, 20172019 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As borrowings under the credit facilities accrue interest under floating interest rate structures, the carrying value of such indebtedness approximates fair value for the amounts outstanding under the credit facilities. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016,2018, ENLK had total borrowings under senior unsecured notes of $3.5 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively, maturing between 2019 and 2047 with fixed interest rates ranging from 2.7% to 5.6% and 2.7% to 7.1%, respectively. .

The fair values of all senior unsecured notes and installment payables as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20162018 were based on Level 2 inputs from third-party market quotations. The fair values of obligations under capital leasesthe secured term loan receivable were calculated using Level 2 inputs from third-party banks.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

(a)Severance and Change in Control Agreements

Certain members of our management are parties to severance and change of control agreements with EnLink Midstream Operating, LP. The severance and change in control agreements provide those individuals with severance payments in certain circumstances and prohibit such individuals from, among other things, competing with the General Partner or its affiliates during his or her employment. In addition, the severance and change of control agreements prohibit subject individuals from, among other things, disclosing confidential information about the General Partner or its affiliates or interfering with a client or customer of the General Partner or its affiliates, in each case during his or her employment and for certain periods (including indefinite periods) following the termination of such person’s employment.

(b)Environmental Issues

The operation of pipelines, plants and other facilities for the gathering, processing, transmitting, stabilizing, fractionating, storing or disposing of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, condensate, brine and other products is subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety and the environment. As an owner, partner or operator of these facilities, we must comply with United States laws and regulations at the federal, state and local levels that relate to air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste management and disposal, oil spill prevention, climate change, endangered species and other environmental matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing and operating pipelines, plants, and other facilities must account for compliance with environmental laws and regulations and safety standards. Federal, state, or local administrative decisions, developments in the federal or state court systems, or other governmental or judicial actions may influence the interpretation and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations and may thereby increase compliance costs. Failure to comply with these 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 laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, we cannot provide assurance that future events, such as changes in existing laws, regulations, or enforcement policies, the promulgation of new laws or regulations, or the discovery or development of new factual circumstances will not cause us to incur material costs. Environmental regulations have historically become more stringent over time and, thus, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of future expenditures for environmental compliance or remediation.(14) Segment Information

InEffective January 1, 2019, we changed our reportable operating segments to reflect how we currently make financial decisions and allocate resources. As of December 31, 2018, our reportable operating segments consisted of the second quarter of 2017, we reached a settlement agreement with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency with respect to the previously disclosed notices of violation (“NOVs”) relating to certain of our ORVfollowing: (i) natural gas gathering, processing, transmission, and fractionation operations that were previously operated by a joint venture partner. The settlement payment is not material to our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

On July 29, 2016, after concluding a multi-year internal environmental compliance assessment of our Louisiana operations, we commenced discussions with the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (“LDEQ”) relating to: (a) a global settlement to resolve environmental noncompliance discovered or investigated during our assessment involving several of our Louisiana facilities and (b) notices of potential violation and NOVs received from the LDEQ. We have taken appropriate measures to resolve all instances of noncompliance. In the third quarter of 2017, we reached a global settlement with the LDEQ pursuant to which we paid approximately $0.3 million.

As part of our ongoing environmental and regulatory compliance efforts, we discovered instances of non-compliance with certain environmental regulations at one of ourlocated in north Texas and the Permian Basin primarily in west Texas, (ii) natural gas pipelines, processing plants, storage facilities, NGL pipelines, and self-reported these matters to the Texas Commission on Environment Quality (“TCEQ”). On October 4, 2017, we received and accepted an Agreed Order from the TCEQ related to these instances of non-compliance. The final penalty assessed was not material to the results of our operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Finally, we continue to await a ruling from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration regarding the notice of potential violation discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

(c)Litigation Contingencies

We are involved in various litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, any liabilities that may result from these claims would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In July 2013, the Board of Commissioners for the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority for New Orleans and surrounding areas filed a lawsuit against approximately 100 energy companies, seeking, among other relief, restoration of wetlands allegedly lost due to historic industry operations in those areas. The suit was filedfractionation assets in Louisiana, state court in New Orleans but was removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The amount of damages is unspecified. Our subsidiary, EnLink LIG, LLC, is one of the named defendants as the owner of pipelines in the area. On February 13, 2015, the court granted defendants’ joint motion to dismiss(iii) natural gas gathering and dismissed the plaintiff’s claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs appealed the matter to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. On March 3, 2017, the Court of Appeals affirmed the district court’s dismissal of the plaintiff’s claims. On March 17, 2017, the plaintiff filed a petition for rehearing. On April 12, 2017, the Court of Appeals denied the plaintiffs petition for rehearing. On July 11, 2017, the plaintiffs filed a petition for appeal with the United States Supreme Court, which was denied on October 30, 2017.

We ownprocessing operations located throughout Oklahoma, and operate a high-pressure(iv) crude rail, truck, pipeline, and undergroundbarge facilities in west Texas, south Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and ORV. Effective January 1, 2019, we are reporting financial performance in five segments: Permian, North Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Corporate. Crude and condensate operations are combined regionally with natural gas and NGL storage reservoirs and associated facilities near Bayou Corne, Louisiana. In August 2012, a large sinkhole formedoperations in the vicinity of this pipelineOklahoma and underground storage reservoirs, resulting in damage to certain of our facilities. In order to recover our losses from responsible parties, we sued the operator of a failed cavernPermian segments, and ORV operations are included in the area, and its insurers, seeking recoveryLouisiana segment. We have recast the segment information for these losses, as well as other parties we alleged contributedthe three months ended March 31, 2018 to conform to the formation of the sinkhole. We also filed a claim with our insurers, which our insurers denied. We disputed the denial and sued our insurers. We have reached settlements regarding the entirety of our claims in both lawsuits. In August 2014, we received a partial settlement with respect to our claims in the amount of $6.1 million. We secured additional settlement payments in aggregate amounts of $17.5 million and $8.5 million in March 2017 and June 2017, respectively, which resulted in the recognition of “Gain on litigation settlement” on the consolidated statements of operations of $26.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

(16) Subsequent Event

Senior Unsecured Notes due 2029. On April 9, 2019, ENLC issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of ENLC’s 5.375% senior unsecured notes due June 1, 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) at a price to the public of 100% of their face value. Interest payments on the 2029 Notes are payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2019. The 2029 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by ENLK. Net proceeds of approximately $496.5 million were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Consolidated Credit Facility, including borrowings incurred on April 1, 2019 to repay at maturity all of the $400.0 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of ENLK’s 2.70% senior unsecured notes due 2019, and for general limited liability company purposes.

Secured Term Loan Receivable. In April 2019, we became aware that the counterparty to our $58.0 million second lien secured term loan receivable, which was recorded at its discounted present value of $52.5 million on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2019, as described in “Note 13—Fair Value Measurements,” will not be able to make its contractual installment payment in May 2019 of $9.75 million for principal due on the outstanding balance. The counterparty has notified us that it is evaluating financial and strategic alternatives in order to satisfy its obligations, including obligations to its first lien secured lenders and our second lien secured term loan. There can be no assurance that any of these alternatives will occur or that we will collect all of the outstanding amounts under the second lien secured term loan.

Overview

We areENLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed in October 2013. OurENLC’s assets consist of equity interests in EnLink Midstream Partners, LPENLK and, EnLink Oklahoma T.O. EnLink Midstream Partners, LP iseffective January 25, 2019, ENLC owns all of the outstanding common units of ENLK as a publicly traded limited partnership engagedresult of the closing of the Merger described in the gathering, transmission, processing“Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 1—General.” All of our midstream energy assets are owned and marketing of natural gas and NGLs, condensate and crude oil, as well as providing crude oil, condensate and brine services to producers. EnLink Oklahoma T.O., a partnership ownedoperated by ENLK and ENLC, is engaged in the gathering and processing of natural gas. Our interests in EnLink Midstream Partners, LP and EnLink Oklahoma T.O. consisted of the following as of September 30, 2017:

88,528,451 common units representing an aggregate 21.8% limited partner interest in ENLK;

100.0% ownership interest in EnLink Midstream Partners GP, LLC, the general partner of ENLK (the “General Partner”), which owns a 0.4% general partner interest and all of the incentive distribution rights in ENLK; and

16% limited partner interest in EnLink Oklahoma T.O.

Each of ENLK and EnLink Oklahoma T.O. is required by its partnership agreement to distribute all its cash on hand at the end of each quarter, less reserves established by its general partner in its sole discretion to provide for the proper conduct of ENLK’s or EnLink Oklahoma T.O.’s business, as applicable, or to provide for future distributions.

The incentive distribution rights in ENLK entitle us to receive an increasing percentage of cash distributed by ENLK as certain target distribution levels are reached. Specifically, they entitle us to receive 13.0% of all cash distributed in a quarter after each common unit has received $0.25 for that quarter, 23.0% of all cash distributed after each common unit has received $0.3125 for that quarter and 48.0% of all cash distributed after each common unit has received $0.375 for that quarter.

Since we control the General Partner, we reflect our ownership interest in ENLK on a consolidated basis. Our consolidated results of operations are derived from the results of operations of ENLK and also include our deferred taxes, interest of non-controlling interests in ENLK’s net income, interest income (expense) and general and administrative expenses specific to ENLC that are not reflected in ENLK’s results of operations. Accordingly, the discussion of our financial position and results of operations in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” primarily reflects the operating activities and results of operations of ENLK.
subsidiaries. We primarily focus on providing midstream energy services, including including:

gathering, compressing, treating, processing, transmission, fractionation, storage, condensate stabilization, brine servicestransporting, storing, and marketing to producers ofselling natural gas, NGLs,gas;
fractionating, transporting, storing, and selling NGLs; and
gathering, transporting, stabilizing, storing, trans-loading, and selling crude oil and condensate. condensate, in addition to brine disposal services.

Our midstream energy asset network includes approximately 11,000 miles of pipelines, 20 natural gas processing plants with approximately 4.5 billion cubic feet per day5.0 Bcf/d of processing capacity, 7seven fractionators with approximately 260,000 barrels per day280,000 Bbls/d of fractionation capacity, barge and rail terminals, product storage facilities, purchasing and marketing capabilities, brine disposal wells, a crude oil trucking fleet, and equity investments in certain joint ventures. We manage and report our activities primarily according to the nature of activity and geography. We have five reportable segments:

Permian Segment. The Permian segment includes our natural gas gathering, processing, and transmission activities and our crude oil operations in the Midland and Delaware Basins in west Texas and eastern New Mexico and our crude operations in south Texas;

North Texas Segment. The North Texas segment includes our natural gas gathering, processing, and transmission and fractionation operationsactivities in north Texas and the Midland and Delaware basins in west Texas;

Oklahoma Segment. The Oklahoma segment includes our natural gas gathering, processing, and processingtransmission activities, and our crude oil operations in the Cana-Woodford, Arkoma-Woodford, Northernnorthern Oklahoma Woodford, Sooner Trend Anadarko Basin CanadianSTACK, and CNOW shale areas;

Kingfisher Counties (“STACK”), South Central Oklahoma Oil Province (“SCOOP”) and Central Northern Oklahoma Woodford Shale areas;

Louisiana Segment. The Louisiana segment includes our natural gas pipelines, natural gas processing plants, storage facilities, fractionation facilities, and NGL assets located in Louisiana;

CrudeLouisiana and Condensate Segment. The Crude and Condensate segment includes our Ohio River Valley (“ORV”) crude oil, condensate, condensate stabilization, natural gas compression and brine disposal activities in the Utica and Marcellus Shales, our crude oil operations in the Permian Basin and our crude oil activities associated with our Victoria Express Pipeline and related truck terminal and storage assets located in the Eagle Ford Shale;ORV; and

Corporate Segment. The Corporate segment includes our unconsolidated affiliate investments in the Cedar Cove JV in Oklahoma, our contractual right to the economic burdens and benefits associated with Devon’s ownership interest in Gulf Coast Fractionators (“GCF”)GCF in south Texas, our derivative activity, and our general partnership propertycorporate assets and expenses. Until March 2017, the Corporate segment included our unconsolidated affiliate investment in Howard Energy Partners (“HEP”). In December 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell our ownership interest in HEP, and we finalized the sale in March 2017.

We manage our operations by focusing on gross operating margin because our business is generally to gather, process, transport, or market natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, and condensate using our assets for a fee. We earn our fees through various fee-based contractual arrangements, which include stated fixed-feefee-only contract arrangements or arrangements with fee-based components where we purchase and resell commodities in connection with providing the related service and earn a net margin as our fee. We earn our net margin under our purchase and resell contract arrangements primarily as a result of stated service-related fees that are deducted from the price of the commodity purchase. While our transactions vary in form, the essential element of each transactionmost of our transactions is the use of our assets to transport a product or provide a processed product to an end-user or marketer at the tailgate of the plant, pipeline, or barge, terminaltruck, or pipeline.rail terminal. We define gross operating margin as operating revenue minus cost of sales. Gross operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is explained in greater detail under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Approximately 95%91% of our gross operating margin was derived from fee-based services

contractual arrangements with nominimal direct commodity price exposure for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. We reflect revenue as “Product sales” and “Midstream services” on the consolidated statements of operations.

Devon is one of our primary customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately 30.0% and 39.0%, respectively, of our gross operating margin was attributable to commercial contracts with Devon.

We generateOur revenues and gross operating margins are generated from eight primary sources:

gathering and transporting natural gas, NGLs, and NGLscrude oil on the pipeline systems we own;
processing natural gas at our processing plants;
fractionating and marketing recovered NGLs;
providing compression services;
providing crude oil and condensate transportation and terminal services;
providing condensate stabilization services;
providing brine disposal services; and
providing natural gas, crude oil, and NGL storage.

Our gross operating margins are determined primarily by the volumes of:

natural gas gathered, transported, purchased and sold through our pipeline systems;
natural gas processed at our processing facilities;
NGLs handled at our fractionation facilities;
crude oil and condensate handled at our crude terminals;
crude oil and condensate gathered, transported, purchased and sold;
brine disposed;
condensate stabilized; and
gas, crude, and NGLs stored.

We typically gather, transport, or store gas owned by others for a feeunder fee-only contract arrangements based either on the volume of gas gathered, transported, or stored.stored or, for firm transportation arrangements, a stated monthly fee for a specified monthly quantity with an additional fee based on actual volumes. We also buy natural gas from producers plants or shippers at either a fixed discount to a market index orless a percentagefee-based deduction subtracted from the purchase price of the market index,natural gas. We then gather or transport the natural gas and then transport and resellsell the natural gas at the same market index. The fixed discount difference to a market index, representsthereby earning a margin through the fee for using our assets.fee-based deduction. We attempt to execute substantially all purchases and sales concurrently, or we enter into a future delivery obligation, thereby establishing the basis for the fee we will receive for each natural gas transaction. Our gathering and transportation fee related to a percentage of the index price can be adversely affected by declines in the price of natural gas. We are also party to certain long-term gas sales commitments that we satisfy through supplies purchased under long-term gas purchase agreements. When we enter into those arrangements, our sales obligations generally

match our purchase obligations. However, over time, the supplies that we have under contract may decline due to reduced drilling or other causes, and we may be required to satisfy the sales obligations by buying additional gas at prices that may exceed the prices received under the sales commitments. In our purchase/sale transactions, the resale price is generally based on the same index at which the gas was purchased.

On occasion we have entered into certain purchase/sale transactions in which the purchase price is based on a production-area index and the sales price is based on a market-area index, and we capture the difference in the indices (also referred to as “basis spread”), less the transportation expenses from the two areas, as our fee. Changes in the basis spread can increase or decrease our margins or potentially result in losses. For example, we are a party to one contract associated with our north Texas operations with a term to 2019 to supply approximately 150,000 MMBtu/d of gas. We buy gas for this contract on several different production-area indices and sell the gas into a different market area index. We realize a cash loss on the delivery of gas under this contract each month based on current prices. The fair value of this performance obligation was recorded based on forecasted discounted cash obligations in excess of market prices under this gas delivery contract. As of September 30, 2017, the balance sheet reflects a liability of $31.4 million related to this performance obligation. Narrower basis spreads in recent periods have increased the losses on this contract, and greater losses on this contract could occur in future periods if these conditions persist or become worse.
 
We typically transport and fractionate or store NGLs owned by others for a fee based on the volume of NGLs transported and fractionated or stored. We also buy mixed NGLs from our suppliers to our gas processing plants at a fixed discount to market indices for the component NGLs with a deduction for our fractionation fee. We subsequently sell the fractionated NGL products based on the same index-based prices. To a lesser extent, we transport and fractionate or store NGLs owned by others for a fee based on the volume of NGLs transported and fractionated or stored. The operating results of our NGL fractionation business are largely dependent upon the volume of mixed NGLs fractionated and the level of fractionation fees charged. With our fractionation business, we also have the opportunity for product upgrades for each of the discrete NGL products. We realize higher gross operating margins from product upgrades during periods with higher NGL prices.
 
We typicallyWe gather or transport crude oil and condensate owned by others by rail, truck, pipeline, and barge facilities for a net fee-based margin.under fee-only contract arrangements based on volumes gathered or transported. We also buy crude oil and condensate on our own gathering systems, third-party systems, and trucked from a producerproducers at a fixed discount tomarket index less a market index,stated transportation deduction. We then transport and resell the crude oil and condensate at the same market index.through a process of basis and fixed price trades. We execute substantially all purchases and sales concurrently, thereby establishing the feenet margin we will receive for each crude oil and condensate transaction.

We realize gross operating margins from our gathering and processing services primarily through different contractual arrangements: processing marginsmargin (“margin”), percentage contracts, POL contracts, POP contracts, fixed-fee component contracts, or a combination of liquids (“POL”), percentagethese contractual arrangements. “See Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk” for a detailed description of proceeds (“POP”)these contractual arrangements. Under any of these gathering and processing arrangements, we may earn a fee for the services performed, or fixed-fee based.we may buy and resell the gas and/or NGLs as part of the processing arrangement and realize a net margin as our fee. Under margin contract arrangements, our gross operating margins are higher during periods of high NGL prices relative to natural gas prices. Gross operating margin results under POL contracts are impacted only by the value of the liquids produced with margins higher during periods of higher liquids prices. Gross operating margin results under POP contracts are impacted only by the value of the natural gas and liquids produced with margins higher during periods of higher natural gas and liquids prices. Under fixed-fee based contracts, our gross operating margins are driven by throughput volume. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk.”
 

Operating expenses are costs directly associated with the operations of a particular asset. Among the most significant of these costs are those associated with direct labor and supervision, property insurance, property taxes, repair and maintenance expenses, contract services, and utilities. These costs are normally fairly stable across broad volume ranges and therefore do not normally increase or decrease significantly in the short term with increases or decreases in the volume of gas, liquids, crude oil, and condensate moved through or by the asset.our assets.

Recent Developments

Organic Growth

Black Coyote Crude Oil Gathering System. We are expanding in the core of the STACK play in Central Oklahoma with the construction of a new crude oil gathering system that we refer to as “Black Coyote.” Black Coyote will primarily be built on dedicated acreage from Devon, who will be the main shipper on the system. The system is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2018.

Chisholm Plants. In April 2017, we completed construction of a new cryogenic gas processing plant, referred to as Chisholm II, which provides 200 MMcf/d of processing capacity and is tied to new and existing pipelines in the STACK and SCOOP plays in Oklahoma. The new capacity is supported by new and existing long-term contracts.

In addition, we commenced construction of a new processing plant referred to as Chisholm III in April 2017. Chisholm III will provide an additional 200 MMcf/d of processing capacity and will be tied to new and existing pipelines in the STACK and SCOOP plays. Construction is scheduled to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2017.
Greater Chickadee Crude Oil Gathering System.In March 2017, we completed construction and began operations of a crude oil gathering system in Upton and Midland counties, Texas in the Permian Basin that we refer to as “Greater Chickadee.” Greater Chickadee includes over 185 miles of high- and low-pressure pipelines that transport crude oil volumes to several major market outlets and other key hub centers in the Midland, Texas area. Greater Chickadee also includes multiple central tank batteries, together with pump, truck injection and storage stations to maximize shipping and delivery options for our producer customers.
Marathon Petroleum Joint Venture. In March 2017, we completed construction and began operating a new NGL pipeline, which is part of our 50/50 joint venture with a subsidiary of Marathon Petroleum Company (“Marathon Petroleum”). This joint venture, Ascension Pipeline Company, LLC (the “Ascension JV”), is a bolt-on project to our Cajun-Sibon NGL system and is supported by long-term, fee-based contracts with Marathon Petroleum.

Lobo Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Facilities. The Lobo facilities are part of our joint venture (the “Delaware Basin JV”) with an affiliate of NGP Natural Resources XI, LP (“NGP”). In the first quarter of 2017, we completed the expansion of a 75-mile gathering system located in Texas and New Mexico for our Lobo II processing facility. In the second quarter of 2017, we completed the construction of an additional expansion of the Lobo II processing facility, which provides an additional 60 MMcf/d of processing capacity. Furthermore, we are constructing an additional expansion to Lobo II, which will increase capacity by 30 MMcf/d and is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2017.

In addition, we will be expanding the gas processing capacity at our Lobo facilities by 200 MMcf/d through construction of the Lobo III processing facility, which is expected to be operational by the second half of 2018.

Sale of Non-Core Assets
In March 2017, we finalized the sale of our ownership interest in HEP for net proceeds of $189.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we recorded an impairment loss of $20.1 million to reduce the carrying value of our investment to the expected sales price. Upon the final sale of HEP in March 2017, we recorded an additional loss of $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

On June 1, 2017, ENLK redeemed $162.5the $400.0 million inoutstanding aggregate principal amount of ENLK’s 7.125%2.70% senior unsecured notes (the “2022 Notes”) at 103.6% of the principal amount, plus accrued unpaid interest,due 2019, and for aggregate cash consideration of $174.1 million, which resulted in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $9.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Issuance of ENLK Common Units

In November 2014, ENLK entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2014 EDA”) with BMO Capital Markets Corp. and other sales agents to sell up to $350.0 million in aggregate gross sales of ENLK’s common units from time to time through an “at the market” equity offering program.
In August 2017, ENLK ceased trading under the 2014 EDA and entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2017 EDA”) with UBS Securities LLC and other sales agents (collectively, the “Sales Agents”) to sell up to $600.0 million in aggregate gross sales of ENLK’s common units from time to time through an “at the market” equity offering program. ENLK may also sell common units to any Sales Agent as principal for the Sales Agent’s own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. ENLK has no obligation to sell any of the common units under the 2017 EDA and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers under the 2017 EDA.general limited liability company purposes.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, ENLK sold an aggregate of approximately 5.3 million common units under the 2014 EDA and 2017 EDA, generating proceeds of approximately $92.3 million (net of approximately $0.9 million of commissions and $0.2 million of registration fees). ENLK used the net proceeds for general partnership purposes. As of September 30, 2017, approximately $580.1 million remains available to be issued under the 2017 EDA.

Issuance of ENLK Series C Preferred Units

In September 2017, ENLK issued 400,000 Series C Fixed-to-Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (the “Series C Preferred Units”) representing ENLK limited partner interests at a price to the public of $1,000 per unit. ENLK used the net proceeds of $393.7 million for capital expenditures, general partnership purposes and to repay borrowings under the ENLK Credit Facility. The Series C Preferred Units represent perpetual equity interests in ENLK and, unlike ENLK’s indebtedness, will not give rise to a claim for payment of a principal amount at a particular date. As to the payment of distributions and amounts payable on a liquidation event, the Series C Preferred Units rank senior to ENLK’s common units and to each other class of limited partner interests or other equity securities established after the issue dateSimplification of the Series C Preferred Units that is not expressly made senior orCorporate Structure. On October 21, 2018, ENLK, ENLC, the General Partner, the managing member of ENLC, and NOLA Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which, on parityJanuary 25, 2019, NOLA Merger Sub merged with and into ENLK, with ENLK continuing as the Series C Preferred Units. The Series C Preferred Units will rank junior to the Series B Preferred Units with respect to the paymentsurviving entity and as a subsidiary of distributions, and junior to the Series B Preferred Units and all current and future indebtedness with respect to amounts payable upon a liquidation event.

Lobo Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Facilities. In early April 2019, we completed construction of a 100 MMcf/d expansion to our Lobo III cryogenic gas processing plant, bringing the total operational processing capacity at our Lobo facilities to 375 MMcf/d.

Cajun-Sibon Pipeline. In April 2019, we completed the expansion of our Cajun-Sibon NGL pipeline capacity, which connects the Mont Belvieu NGL hub to our fractionation facilities in Louisiana. This is the third phase of our Cajun-Sibon system referred to as Cajun Sibon III, which increases throughput capacity from 130,000 bbls/d to 185,000 bbls/d.

Avenger Crude Oil Gathering System. We commenced construction on a new crude oil gathering system in the northern Delaware Basin called Avenger. Avenger is supported by a long-term contract with Devon on dedicated acreage in their Todd and Potato Basin development areas in Eddy and Lea counties in New Mexico. We commenced initial operations on Avenger during the third quarter of 2018 and expect to begin full-service operations during the second quarter of 2019.
Central Oklahoma Plants. In December 2017, we commenced construction on our Thunderbird Plant to expand our central Oklahoma processing capacity by an additional 200 MMcf/d gas processing plant. We expect to begin operations on the Series C Preferred Units accrue and are cumulative fromThunderbird Plant during the datesecond quarter of original issue and payable semi-annually2019.

Riptide Processing Plant. We commenced an expansion of our Riptide processing plant. We expect an additional 65MMcf/d of operational capacity to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Delaware Basin processing plant. We plan to construct a 200 MMcf/d gas processing plant in arrears on the 15th day of June and December of each year through and including December 15, 2022 and, thereafter, quarterlyDelaware Basin. We expect the plant to be operational in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year, in each case, if and when declared by ENLK’s general partner out of legally available funds for such purpose. The initial distribution rate for the Series C Preferred Units from and including the date of original issue to, but not including, December 15, 2022 is 6.0% per annum. On and after December 15, 2022, distributions on the Series C Preferred Units will accumulate for each distribution period at a percentage of the $1,000 liquidation preference per unit equal to an annual floating rate of the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.11%.2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
 
We include the following non-GAAP financial measures: CashAdjusted earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), distributable cash flow available for distributionto common unitholders (“distributable cash flow”), and gross operating margin.


Cash Available for DistributionAdjusted EBITDA

We calculate cash available for distribution as distributions due to us from ENLK and our interest in EnLink Oklahoma T.O.define adjusted EBITDA (as defined herein),as net income (loss) plus interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, impairments, unit-based compensation, (gain) loss on non-cash derivatives, (gain) loss on disposition of assets, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, successful transaction costs, accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations, non-cash rent, and distributions from unconsolidated affiliate investments, less payments under onerous performance obligations, non-controlling interest, income (loss) from unconsolidated affiliate investments, and non-cash revenue from contract restructuring. Adjusted EBITDA is a primary metric used in our share of maintenance capital attributable to our interest in EnLink Oklahoma T.O., our specific general and administrative costsshort-term incentive program for compensating employees. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is used as a separate public reporting entity, the interest costs associated with our debtsupplemental liquidity and current taxes attributable to our earnings, plus our standalone impairment expense (if any). ENLC’s share of EnLink Oklahoma T.O. growth capital expenditures are funded by borrowings under the ENLC Credit Facility and are not considered in determining ENLC’s cash flow available for distribution.

Cash available for distribution is a supplemental performance measure used by usour management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts, and others. As ENLCothers, to assess:

the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis;

the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness, and make cash distributions to our unitholders;

our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing methods or capital structure; and

the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.
The GAAP measures most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA are net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), operating income (loss), net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.
Adjusted EBITDA does not include interest expense, income taxes, or depreciation and amortization expense. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations, interest expense is a holding company withoutnecessary element of our costs and our ability to generate cash available for distribution. Because we use capital assets, depreciation and amortization are also necessary elements of our costs. Therefore, any direct operations,measures that exclude these elements have material limitations. To compensate for these limitations, we believe that it is important to consider net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP, as well as adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate our overall performance.


The following tables reconcile adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for the periods indicated (in millions):

Distributable Cash Flow
We define distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA, net to ENLC, primarily generates value for its unitholdersless interest expense, interest rate swaps, current income taxes and other non-distributable cash flows, accrued cash distributions on ENLK Series B Preferred Units and ENLK Series C Preferred Units paid or expected to be paid, and maintenance capital expenditures, excluding maintenance capital expenditures that were contributed by generating returns on its investments in other entities and subsequently distributing these returns inrelate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities. Distributable cash flow is used as a supplemental liquidity measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts, and others, to its unitholders. Therefore,assess the ability of our assets to generate cash available for distribution serves as an important measure of ENLC’s profitabilitysufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness, and serves as an indicator of ENLC’s success in providing amake cash return on its investments to its unitholders.distributions.

Maintenance capital expenditures include capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and to extend their useful lives. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures to refurbish and replace pipelines, gathering assets, well connections, compression assets, and

processing assets up to their original operating capacity, to maintain pipeline and equipment reliability, integrity, and safety, and to address environmental laws and regulations.

The GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash available for distributionflow is net income (loss). Cash available for distributioncash provided by operating activities. Distributable cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to, GAAPor more meaningful than, net income (loss). Cash available for distribution is not a presentation made, operating income (loss), net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP andGAAP. Distributable cash flow has important limitations as an analytical tool. Investors should not consider cash available for distribution in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because cash available for distributionbecause it excludes some items that affect net income (loss), operating income (loss), and is defined differentlynet cash provided by different companies in our industry, our definition ofoperating activities. Distributable cash available for distributionflow may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies thereby diminishing its utility.because other companies may not calculate distributable cash flow in the same manner. To compensate for these limitations, we believe that it is important to consider net cash provided by operating activities determined under GAAP, as well as distributable cash flow, to evaluate our overall liquidity.

Distributable cash flow is not presented for the three months ended March 31, 2018 because distributable cash flow was not used as a supplemental liquidity measure by ENLC during 2018. ENLC began using distributable cash flow as a supplemental liquidity measure in 2019 as a result of the simplification of our corporate structure in the Merger.


Gross Operating Margin
 
We define gross operating margin as revenues less cost of sales. We present gross operating margin by segment in “Results of Operations.” We disclose gross operating margin in addition to total revenue because it is the primary performance measure used by our management. We believe gross operating margin is an important measure because, in general, our business is to purchase and resell natural gas, NGLs, condensate and crude oil for a margin or to gather, process, transport, or market natural gas, NGLs, condensate, and crude oil for a fee.fee or to purchase and resell natural gas, NGLs, condensate, and crude oil for a margin. Operating expense is a separate measure used by our management to evaluate operating performance of field operations. Direct labor and supervision, property insurance, property taxes, repair and maintenance, utilities, and contract services comprise the most significant portion of our operating expenses. We do not deduct operating expenses from total revenue in calculating gross operating margin because these expenses are largely independent of the volumes we transport or process and fluctuate depending on the activities performed during a specific period. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to gross operating margin is operating income (loss). Gross operating margin should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, operating income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP. Gross operating margin has important limitations because it excludes all operating costs that affect operating income (loss) except cost of sales. Our gross operating margin may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies because other entities may not calculate these amounts in the same manner.
 

The following table provides a reconciliation of operating income (loss) to gross operating margin (in millions):

Three Months Ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2018

Gross Operating Margin. Gross operating margin was $344.7$415.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to $316.4$380.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2018, an increase of $28.3$35.6 million, or 8.9%9.4%, due to the following:

TexasPermian Segment. Gross operating margin in the TexasPermian segment increased $2.6$23.7 million, which was primarily due to a $7.3$16.8 million increase in gross operating margin due to higher volumes on our Permian gas assets from continued producer development in the region, including $8.9 million from our Delaware Basin assets and $7.9 million from our Midland Basin assets. The remaining increase of $6.9 million was contributed by our Permian Basin processingcrude assets, as a resultincluding the Avenger system, which commenced operations in the third quarter of higher volumes. This increase2018.

North Texas Segment. Gross operating margin in the North Texas segment decreased $16.5 million primarily due to the January 1, 2019 expiration of Devon’s obligations related to MVCs on our North Texas assets. Shortfall revenue from the Devon-related MVCs was $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, which was partially offset by a $2.4an increase of $1.6 million decreasefrom other gathering and transportation agreements for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Oklahoma Segment. Gross operating margin in the Oklahoma segment increased $19.4 million, which was primarily due to volume declines across our north Texashigher volumes from continued producer development in the region. Our Oklahoma gas assets and a $2.0contributed $15.4 million decrease due to the sale of the North Texas Pipeline (the “NTPL”)increase, and our Oklahoma crude assets in December 2016.contributed the remaining increase of $4.0 million.

Louisiana Segment. Gross operating margin in the Louisiana segment increased $4.9$7.7 million, which was primarily due toincluding a $3.2$4.1 million increase from our gas processing and transmission assets as a result of volume increases and a $1.8 million increase from our NGL business partially due to the start-up of our Ascension JV assets in April 2017.

Oklahoma Segment. Gross operating margin in the Oklahoma segment increased $30.4 million, which was primarily due to higher volumes on our central Oklahoma assets.

Crude and Condensate Segment. Gross operating margin in the Crude and Condensate segment decreased $4.6 million, which was primarily due to a $3.8 million decrease as a result of condensate stabilization volume declines and transportation rate decreases on our ORV crude assets in addition to a $2.3 million decrease from volume declines for the Permian Basin trucking business. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.2 million increase due to the Greater Chickadee gathering system, which became fully operational induring the first quarter of 2017.2019 and a $3.6 million increase from our Louisiana gas and NGL operations. The increase from our Louisiana gas and NGL operations is primarily due to the negative effect of seasonal gas price fluctuations during the first quarter of 2018, which was offset by realized gains from our hedging activities recorded in our Corporate segment.

Corporate Segment. Gross operating margin in the Corporate segment decreased $5.0increased $1.3 million, as a resultwhich was primarily due to the changes in fair value of losses on derivative activity.our commodity swaps between the periods. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, thereMarch 31, 2019, realized gains of $3.8 million were partially offset by unrealized losses of $3.3 million and realized losses of $2.2$2.0 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, thereMarch 31, 2018, realized gains of $4.0 million were partially offset by unrealized losses of $1.6 million, partially offset by realized gains of $1.1$3.5 million.

Certain gathering and processing agreements in our Texas, Oklahoma and Crude and Condensate segments provide for a quarterly or annual minimum volume commitment (“MVC”).MVCs, including MVCs from Devon. Under these agreements, our customers agree to ship and/or process a minimum volume of productioncommodity on our systems over an agreed time period. If a customer under such an agreement fails to meet its MVC for a specified period, the customer is obligated to pay a contractually-determined fee based upon the shortfall between actual commodity volumes and the MVC for that period. Some of these agreements also contain make-up right provisions that allow a customer to utilize gathering or processing fees in excess of the MVC in subsequent periods to offset shortfall amounts in previous periods. We record revenue under agreements with MVCsMVC contracts during periods of shortfall when it is known that the customer cannot, or will not, make up the deficiency in the subsequent period.

Revenue recorded for the shortfall between actual production volumes and the MVC is as follows (in millions):

Operating expenses in the Oklahoma segment increased $4.5 million due to expanded operations, which resulted in increased labor and benefits charges and unit-based compensation expense due to increased headcount, as well as an increase in materials and supplies expense.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $31.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $29.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $2.0 million, or 6.8%. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to $1.6 million of higher unit-based compensation expense associated with awards granted in 2017.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $136.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $126.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $10.1 million, or 8.0%. Of this increase, $4.5 million was attributable to the expansion of our central Oklahoma assets; $4.3 million was attributable to the plant expansion of our Permian Basin processing assets; $1.2 million was attributable to the Greater Chickadee gathering system; and $0.7 million was attributable to the Ascension JV assets. These increases were partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in depreciation expense attributable to the sale of NTPL in December 2016.
(Gain) Loss on Disposition of Assets. Loss on disposition of assets was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a gain of $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $4.1 million. The gain on disposition of assets for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to the retirement of certain plant assets and asset dispositions that resulted in the receipt of proceeds greater than the carrying values of the assets.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $49.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $48.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $1.2 million, or 2.5%. Interest expense consisted of the following (in millions):

Income (Loss) from Unconsolidated Affiliate Investments. Income from unconsolidated affiliate investments was $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to income of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $3.3 million. This increase was primarily due to additional income from our GCF investment of $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of higher fractionation revenues. In addition, for the three months ended September 30, 2016, income from unconsolidated affiliate investments included a loss of $1.1 million from our HEP investment, which was sold in March 2017.

Income Tax Benefit (Provision). Income tax expense was $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $4.5 million. The decrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to lower state income tax expense between periods. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 7” for additional information.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $17.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to net income of $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $7.5 million. This increase was primarily due to an increase in net income at ENLK and an increase in outstanding ENLK common units, Series B Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units that are not owned by ENLC.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016

Gross Operating Margin. Gross operating margin was $995.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $920.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $74.8 million, or 8.1%, due to the following:
Texas Segment. Gross operating margin in the Texas segment increased $4.1 million, which was primarily due to an $18.9 million increase from our Permian Basin processing assets as a result of higher volumes. This increase was offset by a $14.8 million decrease from our North Texas processing, gathering and transmission assets due to volume declines across our system, including a $9.7 million decrease due to the sale of the NTPL assets in December 2016.
Louisiana Segment. Gross operating margin in the Louisiana segment increased $18.7 million, which was primarily due to a $10.0 million increase in our Louisiana gathering and transmission assets due to additional volumes, a $3.8 million increase from our NGL transmission and fractionation assets due to additional NGL volumes received from our Oklahoma and Permian assets, and a $4.5 million increase due to the start-up of our Ascension JV assets during 2017.

Oklahoma Segment. Gross operating margin in the Oklahoma segment increased $62.7 million, which was primarily due to a $68.4 million increase from our central Oklahoma assets as a result of higher volumes. This increase was partially offset by a $5.1 million decrease from our Northridge gathering and processing assets due to price and volume reductions under a third-party contract.

Crude and Condensate Segment. Gross operating margin in the Crude and Condensate segment decreased $16.2 million, which was primarily due to a $10.2 million decrease as a result of condensate stabilization volume declines and transportation rate decreases on our ORV assets, in addition to a $7.9 million decrease as a result of volume declines for our Midland Basin trucking business. These declines were partially offset by a $4.0 million increase due to the Greater Chickadee gathering system becoming fully operational in the first quarter of 2017.

Corporate Segment. Gross operating margin in the Corporate segment increased $5.5 million as a result of derivative activity. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were unrealized gains of $3.8 million, offset by realized losses of $4.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, there were unrealized losses of $16.0 million, partially offset by realized gains of $9.4 million.

On January 1, 2019, certain MVCs related to gathering and processing agreements with Devon for operations in the North Texas and Oklahoma segments expired. These MVCs generated $19.3 million in shortfall revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Additionally, an MVC related to a transportation services agreement with Devon for operations in the Permian segment will expire on July 31, 2019. This MVC generated $3.8 million and $3.4 million in shortfall revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Texas Segment. Operating expenses in the Texas segment increased $2.7 million primarily due to increased labor and benefits charges as a result of increased headcount and increased unit-based compensation expense, as well as increased operating costs from the Lobo II assets that went into service in the fourth quarter of 2016 as part of the Delaware Basin JV.

LouisianaPermian Segment. Operating expenses in the LouisianaPermian segment increased $2.6$4.0 million primarily due to increased regulatory,expanded operations with increases in utilities, materials and supplies expenses, and construction fees and services.

North Texas Segment. Operating expenses in the North Texas segment decreased $2.7 million primarily due to decreased rents, compressor overhauls, labor and benefits costs, and materials and supplies expenses as a result of the start-up of the Ascension JV.expenses.

Oklahoma Segment.Operating expenses in the Oklahoma segment increased $8.7$4.7 million primarily due to increased laborexpanded operations with increases in compressor rentals and benefits charges attributable to higher headcountcompression operations and increased materials and supplies expense as a result of expanded operations.maintenance.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $98.5$51.4 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to $94.7$27.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2018, an increase of $3.8$23.9 million, or 4.0%86.9%. The primary contributors to the increase were as follows:

Unit-based compensation expenseTransaction costs increased $10.8$13.5 million, which was primarily due to bonuses paid incosts that we incurred related to the formMerger that closed during the first quarter of units that immediately vested in March 2017, as well as the accrual of annual bonuses for 2017.2019.

We incurred $3.8Unit-based compensation expense increased $7.6 million, which was primarily due to higher bonus expense and lower forfeiture of transaction costs and $1.5 million of transition service fees related to the EnLink Oklahoma T.O. acquisition for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, with no transaction costs incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.units in 2019.

Salaries and wages expense decreased $1.9 million due to severance payments made during 2016.


Depreciation and Amortization.Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $407.1$152.1 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to $373.0$138.1 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2018, an increase of $34.1$14.0 million, or 9.1%10.1%. Of this increase, $18.0Depreciation expense on the Louisiana segment increased $5.8 million wasprimarily due to retirements and reductions in our estimated useful lives of certain assets. Depreciation expense on the Oklahoma segment increased $4.1 million primarily attributable to the plant expansion of our Permian Basin processing assets; $10.9 million was attributable to the expansion of our central Oklahoma assets; $3.7 million was attributable to the Greater Chickadee gathering system; $3.4 million was attributable to the acceleration of depreciation for some north Texas compressor stations decommissioned during 2017; $1.8 million was attributable to the Ascension JV assets; and the remaining increase was attributable to othernew assets placed in service. These increases were partiallyin-service. Depreciation expense on the Permian segment increased $3.3 million due to new assets placed in-service, offset by a $3.5$2.2 million decrease due to an impairment of the carrying value of certain non-core crude pipeline assets during 2018. Depreciation expense on the North Texas segment increased $3.0 million primarily due to accelerated depreciation on certain assets based on changes in depreciation expensetheir estimated useful lives.
Impairments. As a result of the Merger, we recognized a $186.5 million impairment related to our Louisiana segment in the saleconsolidated statement of NTPL in December 2016.

(Gain) Loss on Disposition of Assets. Loss on disposition of assets was $0.8 millionoperations for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a gain of $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $3.7 million. The gain on disposition for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was due to the retirement of certain plant assets and asset dispositions that resulted in the receipt of proceeds greater than the carrying values of the assets.

Gain on Litigation Settlement. We recognized a gain on litigation settlement of $26.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 15”3—Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional information.


Gain on Extinguishment of Debt. Interest ExpenseWe recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $9.0. Interest expense was $49.6 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 dueMarch 31, 2019 compared to the redemption of the 2022 Notes. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6” for additional information.
Impairments. Impairment expense was $8.8$44.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $873.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $864.5 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized impairments related to expired rights-of-way and an abandoned brine disposal well. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized an impairment on goodwill of $566.3 million related to our Texas and Crude and Condensate segments, as well as $307.0 million related to our Corporate segment. 

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $142.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $138.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2018, an increase of $3.3$5.1 million, or 2.4%11.5%.

Income (Loss) from Unconsolidated Affiliate Investments. Income from unconsolidated affiliate investments was $5.0$5.3 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to a lossincome of $0.5$3.0 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2018, an increase of $5.5$2.3 million. The increase was primarilypartially due to additional income of $7.4$1.1 million from our GCF investment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of higherincreased volumes and fractionation revenues and lower operating expenses.Partially offsetting this increase, income fromfee margin. Additionally, our HEP investment decreased $1.8in the Cedar Cove JV contributed $1.2 million due to a $1.6 million loss forof the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and a $3.4 million loss on sale for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.increase.

Income Tax Benefit (Provision). Income tax expense was $9.3$1.8 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to income tax expense of $6.0$7.0 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016, an increaseMarch 31, 2018, a decrease of $3.3$5.2 million. The increasedecrease in income tax expense was primarily attributable to an increase inlower taxable income between periods. Additionally, $2.3 million was attributable to tax deficiencies on restricted incentive units that vested in March 2017. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 7”7—Income Taxes” for additional information.


Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $50.3$41.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to a net lossincome of $402.9$44.7 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016, an increaseMarch 31, 2018, a decrease of $453.2$3.2 million. This increasedecrease was primarily due to higher impairment expense atthe conversion of ENLK forcommon units as a result of the nine months ended September 30, 2016.Merger. Subsequent to the Merger, ENLC’s non-controlling interest is comprised of ENLK’s Series B Preferred Units, ENLK’s Series C Preferred Units, NGP’s 49.9% share of the Delaware Basin JV, Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s 50% share of the Ascension JV, and other minor non-controlling interests.

Critical Accounting Policies

Information regarding our Critical Accounting Policiescritical accounting policies is included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2018, except for our critical accounting policy on leases, which changed as described below.

Impairment of Goodwill. Goodwill is the cost of an acquisition less the fair valuea result of the net identifiable assetsadoption of the acquired business. We evaluate goodwillASC 842 on January 1, 2019. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 5—Leases” for impairment annually as of October 31 and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. We first assess qualitative factors to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as the basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a goodwill impairment test. We may elect to perform a goodwill impairment test without completing a qualitative assessment.information on our leases accounting policy.
 
Prior to January 2017, if a goodwill impairment test was elected or required, we performed a two-step goodwill impairment test. The first step involved comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeded its fair value, the second step of the process involved comparing the implied fair value to the carrying value of the goodwill for that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeded the implied fair value of that goodwill, the excess of the carrying value over the implied fair value was recognized as an impairment loss.Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350)Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating the requirement to compare the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount as part of step two of the goodwill impairment test referenced in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (“ASC 350”). As a result, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the impairment loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including any interim impairment tests within those annual periods, with early application permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. In January 2017, we elected to early adopt ASU 2017-04, and the adoption had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will perform future goodwill impairment tests according to ASU 2017-04.

Except for the items discussed above, the methodology and assumptions used to perform our goodwill assessments remainsat the reporting unit level for all reporting units. We use a discounted cash flow analysis to perform the assessments. Key assumptions in the analysis include the use of an appropriate discount rate, terminal year multiples, and estimated future cash flows, including volume and price forecasts and estimated operating and general and administrative costs. In estimating cash flows, we incorporate current and historical market and financial information, among other factors. Impairment determinations involve significant assumptions and judgments, and differing assumptions regarding any of these inputs could have a significant effect on the various valuations. If actual results are not consistent with that describedour 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 Item 7the period in which the carrying value exceeds fair value. The estimated fair value of our Annual Reportreporting units may be impacted in the future by a prolonged decline in our unit price or a prolonged period of lower commodity prices which may adversely affect our estimate of future cash flows, both of which could result in future goodwill impairment charges for our reporting units.

 In March 2014, at the time of our transactions with Devon that led us to become publicly held, we recorded goodwill in our corporate reporting unit at ENLC that was associated with the General Partner’s incentive distribution rights in ENLK. Prior to the completion of the Merger in January 2019, ENLC’s aggregate fair value of its reporting units was in excess of the consolidated book value of its assets, including all goodwill, which would not have resulted in a goodwill impairment on Form 10-Ka consolidated basis. Upon the completion of the Merger, in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and other (“ASC 350”), the portion of goodwill on our corporate reporting unit that was previously associated with the General Partner’s incentive distribution rights in ENLK was required to be reallocated to the four remaining reporting units based on the relative fair value of each of the reporting units, with $184.6 million allocated to our Permian segment, $125.7 million allocated to our North Texas segment, $623.1 million allocated to our Oklahoma segment, and $186.5 million allocated to our Louisiana segment. As a result of the allocated goodwill, we recognized a $186.5 million impairment related to our Louisiana segment in the consolidated statement of operations for the yearthree months ended DecemberMarch 31, 2016.2019. As of March 31, 2019, the fair values of our Permian and North Texas segment assets exceed their respective carrying values by 3% and 5%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $528.4$264.0 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to $512.5$193.7 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2018. Operating cash flows and changes in working capital for comparative periods were as follows (in millions):

The increase in operating cash flows was partially offset by a $21.2$6.6 million increase in interest expense, excluding amortization of debt issue costs and net discounts, and a $15.4 million decrease inhigher cash received on derivative settlements.paid for operating expenses and general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The changes in working capital for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2018 were primarily due to fluctuations in trade receivable and

payable balances due to timing of collection and payments and changes in inventory balances attributable to normal operating fluctuations.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $475.3$241.0 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017 and $1,203.6March 31, 2019, compared to $179.3 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016.March 31, 2018.

The increase was primarily due to the capital expenditures related toon the Lobo III plant expansion, the Thunderbird Plant, and the expansion of the central Oklahoma assets as well as expenditures for the Greater Chickadee crude oil gathering system in the Permian Basin and the Ascension JV assets in Louisiana.our Cajun-Sibon NGL pipeline.

Acquisition expenditures of $791.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were for the EnLink Oklahoma T.O. acquisition.

Investment in unconsolidated affiliates decreased $33.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to contributions of $45.0 million made to our HEP investment in 2016, including $32.7 million of contributions to HEP for preferred units. This decrease was partially offset by contributions to our Cedar Cove JV of $11.8 million in 2017.

Distributions from unconsolidated affiliates in excess of earnings decreased $44.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the redemption of our preferred units interest in our HEP investment for $32.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The remaining difference was primarily due to decreased distributions following the sale of our HEP interest in March 2017.

In December 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell our ownership interest in HEP. We finalized the sale in March 2017 and received net proceeds of $189.7 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities.

On May 11, 2017, ENLK issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of ENLK’s 5.450% senior unsecured notes due 2047 at a price to the public of 99.981% of their face value. Interest payments on the 2047 Notes are payable on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning December 1, 2017. Net proceeds of approximately $495.2 million were used to repay outstanding borrowings under ENLK’s credit facility and for general partnership purposes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, ENLK redeemed $162.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes at 103.6% of the principal amount, plus accrued unpaid interest, for aggregate cash consideration of $174.1 million, which included payments for accrued interest of $5.8 million.

For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017, ENLK sold an aggregate of 5.3 million common units under the 2014 EDA and 2017 EDA, generating proceeds of $92.3 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, ENLK sold an aggregate of 6.7 million common units under the 2014 EDA, generating proceeds of $110.6 million.

In January 2016, ENLK issued an aggregate of 50,000,000 Series B Preferred Units for net proceeds of $724.1 million. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 8” for additional information.

In September 2017, ENLK issued 400,000 Series C Preferred Units for net proceeds of $393.7 million. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 8” for additional information.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, contributions by non-controlling interests included $43.9$15.7 million from NGP to the Delaware Basin JV and $2.3 million from Marathon Petroleum to the Ascension JV. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2018, contributions by non-controlling interests included $137.7$22.7 million from NGP to the Delaware Basin JV and $13.7 million from Marathon Petroleum to the Ascension JV.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, ENLK paid $250.0 million for the second installment payable obligation related to the EnLink Oklahoma T.O. acquisition.

Ascension JV. Subsequent to the closing of the Merger, ENLK no longer has publicly held common units.

Prior to the closing of the Merger, Series B Preferred Unit distributions for 2016 and for the first two quarters for 2017 were paid in-kind by ENLK in the form of additional Series B Preferred Units. As these were non-cash distributions, they were not reflected in our financing cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. Beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2017, Series B Preferred Unit distributions are payable quarterly in cash (the “Cash Distribution Component”) at an amount per quarter equal to $0.28125 per Series B Preferred Unit (the “Cash Distribution Component”) plus an in-kind distribution equal to the greater of (a)(A) 0.0025 Series B Preferred Units per Series B Preferred Unit and (b)(B) an amount equal to (i) the excess, if any, of the distributionsdistribution that would have been payable had the Series B Preferred Units converted into ENLK common units for that quarter over the Cash Distribution Component, divided by (ii) the issue price of $15.00.$15.00 (“the Issue Price”).

Following the closing of the Merger, and beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the holder of the Series B Preferred Units will be entitled to quarterly cash distributions and distributions in-kind of additional Series B Preferred Units as described below.  The quarterly in-kind distribution (the “Series B PIK Distribution”) will equal the greater of (A) 0.0025 Series B Preferred Units per Series B Preferred Unit and (B) the number of Series B Preferred Units equal to the quotient of (x) the excess (if any) of (1) the distribution that would have been payable by ENLC had the Series B Preferred Units been exchanged for ENLC common units but applying a one-to-one exchange ratio (subject to certain adjustments) instead of the exchange ratio of 1.15 ENLC common units for each Series B Preferred Unit, subject to certain adjustments (the “Series B Exchange Ratio”), over (2) the Cash Distribution Component, divided by (y) the Issue Price.  The quarterly cash distribution will consist of the Cash Distribution Component plus an amount in cash that will be determined based on a comparison of the value (applying the Issue Price) of (i) the Series B PIK Distribution and (ii) the Series B Preferred Units that would have been distributed in the Series B PIK Distribution if such calculation applied the Series B Exchange Ratio instead of the one-to-one ratio (subject to certain adjustments).

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, distributions to non-controlling interests included $16.5 million and $16.0 million, respectively, from the issuance of Series B Preferred Units.

Distributions on the Series C Preferred Units accrue and are cumulative from the date of original issue and payable semi-annually in arrears on the 15th day of June and December of each year through and including December 15, 2022 and, thereafter, quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September, and December of each year, in each case, if and when declared by ENLK’s general partnerthe General Partner out of legally available funds for such purpose. The initial distribution rate for the Series C Preferred Units from and including the date of original issue to, but not including, December 15, 2022 is 6.0% per annum. On and after December 15, 2022, distributions on the Series C Preferred Units will accumulate for each distribution period at a percentage of the $1,000 liquidation preference per unit equal to an annual floating rate of the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.11%.

If distributions are declared by ENLK’s Board of Directors, cash distributions for the Series B Preferred Units and the Series C Preferred Units will decrease our cash flows from financing activities beginning in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Capital Requirements. We consider a number of factors in determining whether our capital expenditures are growth capital expenditures or maintenance capital expenditures. Growth capital expenditures generally include capital expenditures made for

acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our asset base, operating income, or operating capacity over

the long-term. Examples of growth capital expenditures include the acquisition of assets and the construction or development of additional pipeline, storage, well connections, gathering, or processing assets, in each case, to the extent such capital expenditures are expected to expand our asset base, operating capacity, or our operating income.
 
Maintenance capital expenditures include capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and to extend their useful lives. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures to refurbish and replace pipelines, gathering assets, well connections, compression assets, and processing assets up to their original operating capacity, or to maintain pipeline and equipment reliability, integrity, and safety and to address environmental laws and regulations.

We expect our remaining 20172019 growth capital expenditures, including capital contributions to our unconsolidated affiliate investments, to be as follows (in millions):

(2)Includes growth capital expenditures that will be contributed by other entities and relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities. These contributions include contributions by NGP to the Delaware Basin JV and contributions by Marathon Petroleum to the Ascension JV.

approximately $346 million to $506 million, net of $77 million to $87 million which we expect to come from our joint venture partners. We expect our remaining 2019 maintenance capital expenditures to be approximately $32 million to $52 million. Our primary capital projects for the remainder of 2017 and 20182019 include the completion of construction of our Chisholmthe Thunderbird Plant, Avenger, the Lobo III processing plant in the Delaware Basin, the expansion of Cajun Sibon III, commencement of construction a new gas processing plant in the Delaware Basin, and thecontinued development of additional gathering and compression assets in Oklahoma and the Permian Basin.our existing systems. See “Recent Developments” for further details.

We expect to fund growth capital expenditures from the proceeds of borrowings under the ENLKConsolidated Credit Facility, discussed belowoperating cash flows, and proceeds from other debt and equity sources, including capital contributions by joint venture partners that relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities. We expect to fund our maintenance capital expenditures from operating cash flows. In 2017 and 2018,2019, it is possible that not all of theour planned projects will be commenced or completed. Our ability to pay distributions to our unitholders, to fund planned capital expenditures, and to make acquisitions will depend upon our future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the industry, financial, business, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Amounts related to inactive easements paid as utilized by us with balance due in 2022 if not utilized.
(3)
Amounts relate to the final installment payable for the acquisition of the EnLink Oklahoma T.O. assets with a balance due on January 7, 2018.

The above table does not include any physical or financial contract purchase commitments for natural gas and NGLs due to the nature of both the price and volume components of such purchases, which vary on a daily or monthly basis. Additionally, we do not have contractual commitments for fixed price and/or fixed quantities of any material amount.

The interest payable underrelated to the ENLKConsolidated Credit Facility and ENLC credit facilitiesthe Term Loan are not reflected in the above table because such amounts depend on the outstanding balances and interest rates of the Consolidated Credit Facility and the Term Loan, which vary from time to time. However, given the same borrowing amount and rates in effect on September 30, 2017, the cash obligation for interest expense on the ENLC credit facility would be approximately $2.4 million per year, respectively, or approximately $0.6 million for the remainder of 2017.

In January 2017, we paid the $250.0 million installment payable obligation related to the EnLink Oklahoma T.O. acquisition, which was due on January 7, 2017. We funded this installment payment using various sources, including $84.6 million in proceeds received from the sale of NTPL, proceeds from equity issuances through the 2014 EDA and borrowings under the ENLK Credit Facility. Our contractual cash obligations for the remainder of 2017 and 20182019 are expected to be funded from cash flows generated from our operations, with the exception of ENLK’s $250.0 million installment payable obligation due January 7, 2018 related to the acquisition of the EnLink Oklahoma T.O. assets. We expect to fund payment of this installment obligation from the proceeds of borrowings under ENLK’s credit facility, proceeds from the issuance ofpotential non-core asset sales, and other debt and equity or both of these alternatives.sources.

Indebtedness

In December 2018, we entered into the Consolidated Credit Facility, which permits us to borrow up to $1.75 billion on a revolving credit basis and includes a $500.00 million letter of credit subfacility. At the closing of the Merger, the ENLC Credit Facility was canceled, the Consolidated Credit Facility became available for borrowings and letters of credit, and ENLK became a guarantor under the Consolidated Credit Facility.

In December 2018, ENLK entered into the Term Loan and used the net proceeds to repay borrowings under the ENLK Credit Facility. At the closing of the Merger, the Term Loan was assumed by us, and ENLK became a guarantor of the Term Loan.
In addition, as of March 31, 2019, ENLK had $3.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of outstanding unsecured senior notes maturing from 2024 to 2047. In April 2019, we issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes that mature in 2029. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6”16—Subsequent Event” for more information on this transaction.
See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6—Long-Term Debt” for more information on our outstanding debt instruments.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. Our primary market risk is the risk related to changes in the prices of natural gas, NGLs, condensate, and crude oil. In addition, we are also exposed to the risk of changes in interest rates on floating rate debt.

Comprehensive financial reform legislation was signed into law by the President on July 21, 2010. The legislation calls for the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”)CFTC to regulate certain markets for derivative products, including over-the-counter (“OTC”)OTC derivatives. The CFTC has issued several new relevant regulations, and other rulemakings are pending at the CFTC, the product of which would be rules that mandate that certainimplement the mandates in the legislation to cause significant portions of derivatives products be subjectmarkets to margin requirements, cleared at a clearinghouse or executed on an exchange.clear through clearinghouses. While some of these rules have been finalized, some have not and, as a result, the final form and timing of the implementation of the new regulatory regime affecting commodity derivatives remains uncertain.


In particular, on October 18, 2011, the CFTC adopted final rules under the Dodd-Frank Act establishing position limits for certain energy commodity futures and options contracts and economically equivalent swaps, futures, and options. The position limit levels set the maximum amount of covered contracts that a trader may own or control separately or in combination, net long or short. The final rules also contained limited exemptions from position limits which would be phased in over time for certain bona fide hedging transactions and positions. The CFTC’s original position limits rule was challenged in court by two industry associations and was vacated and remanded by a federal district court. The CFTC has withdrawn its appeal of the court order vacating the original position limits rule. However,proposed and revised new rules in November 2013 the CFTC proposed new rulesand December 2016, respectively, that would place limits on positions in certain core futures and equivalent swaps contracts for or linked to certain physical commodities, subject to exceptions for certain bona fide hedging transactions. In December 2016, the CFTC modified and reproposed its positions limits rules. The CFTC has sought comment on the position limits rulerules as reproposed and revised, but thesethe new position limit rules arehave not yet been issued in final form, and the impact of thoseany final provisions on us is uncertain at this time.

The legislation and new regulations may also require counterparties to our derivative instruments to spin off some of their derivatives activities to separate entities, which may not be as creditworthy as the current counterparties. The new legislation and any future new regulations could significantly increase the cost of derivative contracts, materially alter the terms of derivative contracts, reduce the availability of derivatives to protect against risks we encounter, reduce our ability to monetize or restructure our existing derivative contracts, and increase our exposure to less creditworthy counterparties. If we reduce our use of derivatives as a result of the legislation and regulations, our results of operations may become more volatile, and our cash flows may be less predictable, which could adversely affect our ability to plan for and fund capital expenditures and to generate sufficient cash flow to pay quarterly distributions at current levels or at all. Our revenues could be adversely affected if a consequence of the legislation and regulations is lower commodity prices. Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on us, our financial condition, and our results of operations.

Commodity Price Risk

We are subject to significant risks due to fluctuations in commodity prices. Approximately 91% of our gross operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was generated from arrangements with fee-based structures with minimal direct commodity price exposure. Our exposure to these riskscommodity price fluctuations is primarily in the gas processing component of our business. We currently process gas under four main types of contractual arrangements (or a combination of these types of contractual arrangements) as summarized below. Approximately 86% of our processing margins were from fixed-fee based contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

1.
Fee-based contracts: Under fee-based contracts, we earn our fees through (1) stated fixed-fee arrangements in which we are paid a fixed fee per unit of volume processed or (2) arrangements where we purchase and resell commodities in connection with providing the related processing service and earn a net margin through a fee-like deduction subtracted from the purchase price of the commodities.

2.
Processing margin contracts: Under these contracts, we pay the producer for the full amount of inlet gas to the plant, and we make a margin based on the difference between the value of liquids recovered from the processed natural gas as compared to the value of the natural gas volumes lost and the cost of fuel used in processing. The shrink and fuel losses are referred to as plant thermal reduction, or PTR. Our margins from these contracts are high during periods of high liquids prices relative to natural gas prices and can be negative during periods of high natural gas prices relative to liquids prices. However, we mitigate our risk of processing natural gas when margins are negative primarily through our ability to bypass processing when it is not profitable for us or by contracts that revert to a minimum fee for processing if the natural gas must be processed to meet pipeline quality specifications. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, less than 1% of our contracts, based on gross operating margin, were under processing margin contracts.

as compared to the value of the natural gas volumes lost and the cost of fuel used in processing. The shrink and fuel losses are referred to as plant thermal reduction, or PTR. Our margins from these contracts are high during periods of high liquids prices relative to natural gas prices and can be negative during periods of high natural gas prices relative to liquids prices. However, we mitigate our risk of processing natural gas when margins are negative primarily through our ability to bypass processing when it is not profitable for us or by contracts that revert to a minimum fee for processing if the natural gas must be processed to meet pipeline quality specifications.

2.3.
Percent of liquidsPOL contracts: Under these contracts, we receive a fee in the form of a percentage of the liquids recovered, and the producer bears all the cost of the natural gas shrink. Therefore, our margins from these contracts are greater during periods of high liquids prices. Our margins from processing cannot become negative under percent of liquidsPOL contracts, but they do decline during periods of low liquids prices.

3.4.
Percent of proceeds contracts:POP contracts: Under these contracts, we receive a fee asin the form of a portion of the proceeds of the sale of natural gas and liquids. Therefore, our margins from these contracts are greater during periods of high natural gas and liquids prices. Our margins from processing cannot become negative under percent of proceedsPOP contracts, but they do decline during periods of low natural gas and liquids prices.

4.
Fixed-fee based contracts: Under these contracts, we have no direct commodity price exposure and are paid a fixed fee per unit of volume that is processed.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, approximately 7% of our contracts, based on gross operating margin, were under POL or POP contracts.


Our primary commodity risk management objective is to reduce volatility in our cash flows. We maintain a risk management committee, including members of senior management, which oversees all hedging activity. We enter into hedges for natural gas, crude and condensate, and NGLs using over-the-counterOTC derivative financial instruments with only certain well-capitalized counterparties thatwhich have been approved byin accordance with our commodity risk management committee.policy.
 
We have hedged our exposure to fluctuations in prices for natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, and NGLcondensate volumes produced for our account. We hedge our exposure based on volumes we consider hedgeable (volumes committed under contracts that are long term in nature) versus total volumes that include volumes that may fluctuate due to contractual terms, such as contracts with month-to-month processing options. Further, we have tailored our hedges to generally match the NGL product composition and the NGL and natural gas delivery points to those of our physical equity volumes. The NGL hedges cover specific NGL products based upon our expected equity NGL composition.

The following table sets forth certain information related to derivative instruments outstanding at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 mitigating the risks associated with the gas processing and fractionation components of our business. The relevant payment index price for liquids is the monthly average of the daily closing price for deliveries of commodities into Mont Belvieu, Texas as reported by OPIS.Oil Price Information Service. The relevant index price for natural gas is Henry Hub Gas Daily as defined by the pricing dates in the swap contracts.

(1)Weighted average.

Another price risk we face is the risk of mismatching volumes of gas bought or sold on a monthly price versus volumes bought or sold on a daily price. We enter each month with a balanced book of natural gas bought and sold on the same basis. However, it is normal to experience fluctuations in the volumes of natural gas bought or sold under either basis, which leaves us with short or long positions that must be covered. We use financial swaps to mitigate the exposure at the time it is created to maintain a balanced position.
 

The use of financial instruments may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances when (1) sales volumes are less than expected requiring market purchases to meet commitments or (2) counterparties fail to purchase the contracted quantities of natural gas or otherwise fail to perform. To the extent that we engage in hedging activities, we may be prevented from realizing the benefits of favorable price changes in the physical market. However, we are similarly insulated against unfavorable changes in such prices.
 
As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, outstanding natural gas swap agreements, NGL swap agreements, swing swap agreements, storage swap agreements, and other derivative instruments were a net fair value liabilityasset of $2.5$6.5 million. The aggregate effect of a hypothetical 10% change, increase or decrease, in gas, crude and condensate, and NGL prices would result in a change of approximately $1.7$3.8 million in the net fair value of these contracts as of September 30, 2017. March 31, 2019. 


Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk fromon the ENLCConsolidated Credit Facility and the ENLK Credit Facility.Term Loan. At September 30, 2017, the ENLC Credit FacilityMarch 31, 2019, we had $74.0$160.0 million and $850.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Consolidated Credit Facility and the ENLK Credit Facility had no outstanding borrowings.Term Loan, respectively. A 1%1.0% increase or decrease in interest rates would change the annualour annualized interest expense for the ENLC Credit Facility by approximately $0.7$1.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively, for the year.

In April 2019, we entered into $850.0 million of interest rate swaps to reduce the variability of cash outflows associated with interest payments related to our long-term debt with variable interest rates. These swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges.

We are not exposed to changes in interest rates with respect to ENLK’s senior unsecured notes due in 2019, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2044, 2045 or 2047 as these are fixed-rate obligations. The estimated fair value of ENLK’s senior unsecured notes was approximately $3,564.7$3,311.6 million as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, based on market prices of similar debt at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. Market risk is estimated as the potential decrease in fair value of our long-term debt resulting from a hypothetical increase of 1%1.0% in interest rates. Such an increase in interest rates would result in an approximate $291.7$227.7 million decrease in fair value of ENLK’s senior unsecured notes at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2019. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6—Long-Term Debt” for more information on our outstanding indebtedness.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of EnLink Midstream Manager, LLC, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report (September 30, 2017)(March 31, 2019), our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b)
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

ThereEffective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842. The adoption of this accounting standard had no material impact on our operating income, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. While the adoption of ASC 842 did not materially affect our internal control over financial reporting, we did implement certain changes to our related lease control activities, including changes to our policies related to leases, training, ongoing lease contract review requirements, and gathering of information to comply with disclosure requirements. Furthermore, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, any liabilities that may result from these claims would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

For a discussion of certain litigation and similar proceedings, see “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 15.”

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Information about risk factors does not differ materially from that set forth in Part I, Item 1A“Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, except for the new risk factor set forth below.2018.

Our business is subject to a number
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of weather-related risks. These weather conditions can cause significant damageEquity Securities and disruption to our operations and adversely impact our financial condition, resultsUse of operations or cash flows.Proceeds

Virtually all of our operations are exposed to potential natural disasters, including hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, floods, fires and earthquakes. In particular, south Louisiana andDuring the Gulf of Mexico experience hurricanes and other extreme weather conditions on a frequent basis. The location of our significant assets and concentration of activity in these regions make us particularly vulnerable to weather risks in these areas.
High winds, storm surge, flooding and other natural disasters can cause significant damage and curtail our operations for extended periods during and after such weather conditions, which may result in decreased revenues and otherwise adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. These interruptions could involve significant damage to people, property or the environment, and repair time and costs could be extensive. Any such event that interrupts the revenues generated by our operations, or which causes us to make significant expenditures not covered by insurance, could reduce our cash available for paying distributions to our members and, accordingly, adversely affect our financial condition and the market price of our securities.
In addition,three months ended March 31, 2019, we rely on the volumes of natural gas, crude oil, condensate and NGLs gathered, processed, fractionated and transported on our assets. These volumes are influenced by the productionre-acquired ENLC common units from the regions that supply our systems. Adverse weather conditions can cause direct or indirect disruptions to the operations of, and otherwise negatively affect, producers, suppliers, customers and other third parties to which our assets are connected, even if our assets are not damaged. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.
We may also suffer reputational damage as a result of a natural disaster or other similar event. The occurrence of such an event, or a series of such events, especially if one or more of them occurs in a highly populated or sensitive area, could negatively impact public perception of our operations and/or make it more difficult for us to obtain the approvals, permits, licenses or real property interests we needcertain employees in order to operate our assetssatisfy the employees’ tax liability in connection with the vesting of restricted incentive units.
