The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 29, 2016.27, 2017. The financial information as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, and for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, is unaudited. The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015,2016, were derived from the audited balance sheets filed in our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Organization

Crestwood Equity is a publicly-traded (NYSE: CEQP) Delaware limited partnership that develops, acquires, owns or controls, and operates primarily fee-based assets and operations within the energy midstream sector. We provide broad-ranging infrastructure solutions across the value chain to service premier liquids-rich natural gas and crude oil shale plays across the United States. We own and operate a diversified portfolio of crude oil and natural gas gathering, processing, storage and transportation assets and connect fundamental energy supply with energy demand across North America. Crestwood Equity is a holding company and all of its consolidated operating assets are owned by or through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Crestwood Midstream, a Delaware limited partnership.


Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of AmericaGenerally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and include the accounts of all consolidated subsidiaries after the elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. In management’s opinion, all necessary adjustments to fairly present our results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been made and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Significant Accounting Policies

There were no material changes in our significant accounting policies from those described in our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Below is an update of certain of our accounting policies.

Principlespolicies related to Goodwill and Unit-Based Compensation, and a description of Consolidation

We consolidate entities when we have the ability to control or direct the operating and financial decisions of the entity or when we have a significant interest in the entity that give us the ability to direct the activities that are significant to that entity. The determination to consolidate or apply the equity method of accounting to an entity can also require us to evaluate whether the entity is considered a variable interest entity. This evaluation, along with the determination of our ability to control, direct or exert significant influence over an entity involves the use of judgment. We apply the equity method of accounting where we can exert significant influence over, but do not control or direct the policies, decisions or activities of an entity. We use the cost method of accounting where we are unable to exert significant influence over the entity.

In April 2016, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Crestwood Pipeline and Storage Northeast LLC (Crestwood Northeast) and Con Edison Gas Pipeline and Storage Northeast, LLC (CEGP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Consolidated Edison, Inc. (Con Edison), entered into a definitive agreement to form a joint venture, Stagecoach Gas Services LLC (Stagecoach Gas), to own

and further develop our existing natural gas pipeline and storage business located in southern New York and northern Pennsylvania (the NE S&T assets) and our 37.5 mile intrastate natural gas pipeline located in New York which is owned by Crestwood Pipeline East LLC (Pipeline East). On June 3, 2016, we contributed to Stagecoach Gas the entities owning the NE S&T assets, CEGP contributed $945 million to Stagecoach Gas in exchange for a 50% equity interest in Stagecoach Gas, and Stagecoach Gas distributed to Crestwood Northeast the net cash proceeds received from CEGP. Our NE S&T assets were previously included in our storage and transportation segment.Equity's 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan.

Effective June 3, 2016, we deconsolidated the NE S&T assets as a result of the contribution of these assets to Stagecoach Gas as described above and began accounting for our 50% equity interest in Stagecoach Gas under the equity method of accounting and recorded our Pipeline East assets as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2016. See Notes 3 and 4 for a further discussion of our investment in Stagecoach Gas and our assets held for sale. The deconsolidation of our NE S&T assets resulted in a decrease of $1,094.6 million in property, plant and equipment, net, $8.5 million of intangible assets, net and $10.9 million of other assets and liabilities, net as of June 3, 2016. For a discussion of decreases in goodwill associated with the joint venture transactions, see "Goodwill" below.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at its original cost of construction or, upon acquisition, at the fair value of the assets acquired. The accounting predecessor of Crestwood Equity acquired the accounting predecessor of Crestwood Midstream in October 2010, and accordingly recorded its acquisition of Crestwood Midstream's property, plant and equipment related to its gathering and processing assets in the Barnett Shale at fair value on that date. The resulting increase to Crestwood Midstream's property, plant and equipment was not pushed down by Crestwood Equity to Crestwood Midstream's balance sheet, as permitted by GAAP.

We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, a loss is recognized if the carrying value of the asset is in excess of the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. During the fourth quarter of 2015, Crestwood Equity recorded a $354.4 million impairment of its property, plant and equipment related to its gathering and processing assets in the Barnett Shale. Crestwood Midstream did not record an impairment of its property, plant and equipment related to its gathering and processing assets in the Barnett Shale as the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition exceeded the carrying value of the property, plant and equipment by over 30%. As a result, Crestwood Midstream's property, plant and equipment exceeds Crestwood Equity's property, plant and equipment related to its gathering and processing assets in the Barnett Shale as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Assets Held for Sale

We classify assets (or groups of assets) to be disposed of as held for sale when specific criteria have been met. Assets classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of the carrying value or the estimated fair value less cost to sell of those assets. We cease depreciation and amortization of the assets in the period they are considered held for sale.

Goodwill

Our goodwill represents the excess of the amount we paid for a business over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually on December 31, and whenever events indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit could be less than its carrying amount. This evaluation requires us to compare the fair value of each of our reporting units to its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired.

We estimate the fair value of our reporting units based on a number of factors, including discount rates, projected cash flows, and the potential value we would receive if we sold the reporting unit. We also compare the total fair value of our reporting units to our overall enterprise value, which considers the market value for our common and preferred units. Estimating projected cash flows requires us to make certain assumptions as it relates to the future operating performance of each of our reporting units (which includes assumptions, among others, about estimating future operating margins and related future growth in those margins, contracting efforts and the cost and timing of facility expansions) and assumptions related to our customers, such as their future capital and operating plans and their financial condition. When considering operating performance, various factors are considered such as current and changing economic conditions and the commodity price environment, among others. Due to the imprecise nature of these projections and assumptions, actual results can and often do, differ from our estimates. If

the assumptions embodied in the projections prove inaccurate, we could incur a future impairment charge. In addition, the use of the income approach to determine the fair value of our reporting units (see further discussion of the use of the income approach below) could result in a different fair value if we had utilized a market approach, or a combination thereof.

We acquired substantially all of our reporting units in 2013, 2012 and 2011, which required us to record the assets, liabilities and goodwill of each of those reporting units at fair value on the date they were acquired. As a result, any level of decrease in the forecasted cash flows of these businesses or increases in the discount rates utilized to value those businesses from their respective acquisition dates would likely result in the fair value of the reporting unit falling below the carrying value of the reporting unit, and could result in an assessment of whether that reporting unit's goodwill is impaired.

Commodity prices have declined since 2014, and that decline has adversely impacted forecasted cash flows, discount rates and stock/unit prices for most companies in the midstream industry, including us. In particular, due to the significant, sustained decrease in the market price of our common units during the first quarter of 2016, we evaluated the carrying value of our reporting units and determined it was more likely than not that the goodwill associated with several of our reporting units was impaired as of March 31, 2016. As a result of further analysis of the fair value of our reporting units, we recorded goodwill impairments on several of our reporting units during the first quarter of 2016. Since March 31, 2016, the market price of our common units improved and, as such, we did not record any additional goodwill impairments during the second and third quarters of 2016.

The following table summarizes the goodwill of our various reporting units at September 30, 2016 (in millions).

The goodwill impairments recorded during the first quarter of 2016 primarily resulted from increasing the discount rates utilized in determining the fair value of the reporting units for certain of those reporting units considering the significant, sustained decrease in the market price of our common units and the continued decrease in commodity prices and its impact on the midstream industry and our customers. Our COLT, Supply and Logistics, Storage and Terminals and Trucking reporting units also experienced impairmentscustomers during 2015 based on the impact that the prolonged low commodity price environment was expected to have on the demand for future services provided by these operations. Despite increases in the operating results of these reporting units from 2013 to 2015, we revised our cash flow forecasts for these operations at December 31, 2015 in light of our view at the time that these operations would not grow as fast or as significantly in the future as originally forecasted in 2013 when the assets were acquired.

The remaining goodwill related to these reporting units represented the fair value of the goodwill, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement.period. We utilized the income approach to determine the fair value of our reporting units given the limited availability of comparable market-based transactions as of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, and we utilized discount rates ranging

The impairment of the Fayetteville, COLT, West Coast and Trucking goodwill primarily resulted from increasing the discount rate utilized in determining the fair value of the reporting units, considering the decrease in commodity prices and its impact on the midstream industry and Crestwood Midstream's customers in those areas. The impairment of the Watkins Glen goodwill primarily resulted from increasing the discount rate utilized in determining the fair value of the reporting unit and delays and uncertainties in the permitting of the proposed storage facility.

In addition to the goodwill impairments recorded by Crestwood Midstream as reflected in the table above, Crestwood Equity recorded a goodwill impairment of its Barnett reporting unit of approximately $212.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2015. The impairment primarily resulted from increasing the discount rate utilized in determining the fair value of the reporting unit, considering the actions of its primary customer in the Barnett Shale, Quicksilver, related to its filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in March 2015.

Note 3 – Certain Balance Sheet Information

Assets Held for Sale

In conjunction with the contribution agreement related to Stagecoach Gas, we agreed to contribute our wholly-owned subsidiary, Pipeline East, to Stagecoach Gas, CEGP has agreed to contribute approximately $30 million to Stagecoach Gas, and Stagecoach Gas will distribute to us the net cash proceeds received from CEGP. We classified the property, plant and equipment and goodwill to be contributed to Stagecoach Gas as assets held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet at their fair value at September 30, 2016. The fair value is based on the consideration to be received from the contribution of Pipeline East to Stagecoach Gas and the forecasted discounted cash flows to be received from our investment in Stagecoach Gas, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The sale is contingent upon New York State regulatory approval and satisfaction of certain other closing conditions, which we believe is probable at September 30, 2016.

Note 4 - Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Stagecoach Gas Services LLC.Crestwood Permian Basin Holdings LLC

In AprilOctober 2016, Crestwood NortheastInfrastructure, our wholly-owned subsidiary, and CEGP entered intoan affiliate of First Reserve formed a definitivejoint venture, Crestwood Permian Basin Holdings LLC (Crestwood Permian), to fund and own the Nautilus gathering system (described below) and other potential investments in the Delaware Permian. As part of this transaction, we transferred to the joint venture 100% of the equity interest of the Crestwood Permian Basin LLC (Crestwood Permian Basin), which owns the Nautilus gathering system. We manage and we account for our 50% ownership interest in Crestwood Permian, which is a VIE, under the equity method of accounting as we exercise significant influence, but do not control Crestwood Permian and we are not its primary beneficiary due to First Reserve’s rights to exercise control over the entity.

Crestwood Permian has a long-term agreement with SWEPI LP (SWEPI), a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc, to form the Stagecoach JV toconstruct, own and further develop our NE S&T assets. Pursuantoperate a natural gas gathering system in SWEPI’s operated position in the Delaware Permian. SWEPI has dedicated to Crestwood Permian approximately 100,000 acres and gathering rights for SWEPI’s gas production across a large acreage position in Loving, Reeves and Ward Counties, Texas. The Nautilus gathering system is designed to include 194 miles of low pressure gathering lines, 36 miles of high pressure trunklines and centralized compression facilities which are expandable over time as production increases, providing gas gathering capacity of approximately 250 MMcf/d. The initial build-out of the contribution agreement,Nautilus gathering system was completed on June 6, 2017 and includes 20 receipt point meters, 60 miles of pipeline, a 24-mile high pressure header system, 10,800 horsepower of compression and a high pressure delivery point. Crestwood Permian provides gathering, dehydration, compression and liquids handling services to SWEPI on a fixed fee basis. In conjunction with this growth project, we contributedgranted SWEPI an option to Stagecoach Gas the entities owning the NE S&T assets, CEGP contributed $945 millionpurchase up to Stagecoach Gas in exchange for a 50% equity interest in Stagecoach Gas, and Stagecoach Gas distributedCrestwood Permian Basin, which owns the Nautilus gathering system.

NE S&T assetspro rata basis. CEQP issued a guarantee in conjunction with the Crestwood Permian gas gathering agreement with SWEPI described above, under which CEQP has agreed to fund 100% of the costs to build the Nautilus gathering system (which is currently estimated to cost $180 million) if Crestwood Permian fails to do so. We do not believe this guarantee is probable of resulting in future losses based on our assessment of the nature of the guarantee, the financial condition of the guaranteed party and the period of time that the guarantee has been outstanding, and as a result, we have not recorded a liability on our balance sheet at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

On June 21, 2017, we contributed to Crestwood Permian 100% of this transaction and began accounting for our 50% theequity interest of Crestwood New Mexico Pipeline LLC (Crestwood New Mexico), our wholly-owned subsidiary that owns our Delaware Basin assets located in Stagecoach GasEddy County, New Mexico. This contribution was treated as a transaction between entities under the equity methodcommon control (because of accounting. We reflectedour relationship with First Reserve), and accordingly we deconsolidated Crestwood New Mexico and our investment in Stagecoach Gas at $844 million, which representedCrestwood Permian was increased by the fairhistorical book value of our proportionate share of the assets at June 3, 2016 and is based on the forecasted discounted cash flows of the investment (which is a Level 3 fair value measurement).

Note 5 – Risk Management

We are exposed to certain market risks related to our ongoing business operations. These risks include exposure to changing commodity prices. We utilize derivative instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, which is discussed below. Additional information related to our derivatives is discussed in Note 6.

Commodity Derivative Instruments and Price Risk Management

Risk Management Activities

We sell NGLs and crude oil to energy related businesses and may use a variety of financial and other instruments including forward contracts involving physical delivery of NGLs, heating oil and crude oil. We periodically enter into offsetting positions to economically hedge against the exposure our customer contracts create. Certain of these contracts and positions are derivative instruments. We do not designate any of our commodity-based derivatives as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Our commodity-based derivatives are reflected at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, and changes in the fair value of these derivatives that impact the consolidated statements of operations are reflected in costs of product/services sold. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, the impact to our consolidated statements of operations related to our commodity-based derivatives reflected in costs of product/services sold was a gain of $6.9 million and $1.5 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the impact to the statement of operations related to our commodity-based derivatives reflected in costs of product/services sold was a gain of $2.1$1.3 million and $4.1 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the impact to the statement of operations related to our commodity-based derivatives reflected in costs of product/services sold was a gain of $5.7 million and $11.0$2.0 million. We attempt to balance our contractual portfolio in terms of notional amounts and timing of performance and delivery obligations. This balance in the contractual portfolio significantly reduces the volatility in costs of product/services sold related to these instruments.

All contracts subject to price risk had a maturity of 3136 months or less; however, 84%85% of the contracted volumes will be delivered or settled within 12 months.

Credit Risk

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

Certain of our derivative instruments have credit limits that require us to post collateral. The amount of collateral required to be posted is a function of the net liability position of the derivative as well as our established credit limit with the respective counterparty. If our credit rating were to change, the counterparties could require us to post additional collateral. The amount of additional collateral that would be required to be posted would vary depending on the extent of change in our credit rating as well as the requirements of the individual counterparty. The aggregate fair value of all commodity derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 was $6.3$4.9 million and $3.3$13.9 million. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, we posted less than $0.1 million of collateral for our commodity derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features. In addition, at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, we had a New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) related net derivative asset position of $9.4$5.7 million and a NYMEX related net derivative liability position of $20.8$14.3 million, for which we posted $6.6$3.6 million and $26.7$4.2 million of cash collateral in the normal course of business. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, we also received collateral of $6.7 million and $16.8$4.3 million in the normal course of business. All collateral amounts have been netted against the asset or liability with the respective counterparty and are reflected in our consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities from price risk management activities.


Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

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

Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, listed equities and US government treasury securities.

Level 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models

or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as over the counter (OTC) forwards, options and physical exchanges.

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

Cash, and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016, the carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable representapproximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

Credit Facility

The fair value of the amountamounts outstanding under our CMLP credit facility approximates itsthe carrying amountamounts as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016, due primarily to the variable nature of the interest rate of the instrument, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Senior Notes

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

Financial Assets and Liabilities

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, we held certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which include our derivative instruments related to heating oil, crude oil, and NGLs. Our derivative instruments consist of forwards, swaps, futures, physical exchanges and options.

Certain of ourOur derivative instruments that are traded on the NYMEX. These instrumentsNYMEX have been categorized as Level 1.

Our derivative instruments also include OTC contracts, which are not traded on a public exchange. The fair values of these derivative instruments are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. These instruments have been categorized as Level 2.

Our OTC options are valued based on the Black Scholes option pricing model that considers time value and volatility of the underlying commodity. The inputs utilized in the model are based on publicly available information as well as broker quotes. These options have been categorized as Level 2.

Our financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Crestwood Midstream Credit Facility

In conjunction with the contribution agreement with CEGP, Crestwood Midstream amended its credit facility during the second quarter of 2016 to, among other things, (i) facilitate the closing of the joint venture and make investments in the joint venture thereafter, and (ii) implement our liability management plan with the net cash proceeds received from Stagecoach Gas, including the repurchase of Crestwood Midstream's senior notes with the borrowings under its credit facility.

At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, Crestwood Midstream had $586.6$631.3 million of available capacity under its credit facility considering the most restrictive debt covenants in its credit agreement.

Borrowings under the CMLP credit facility accrue interest at prime or Eurodollar based rates plus applicable spreads, which resulted in interest rates between 2.77%3.34% and 4.75%5.50% at SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2.70%3.21% and 5.00%5.25% at December 31, 2015.2016. The weighted-average interest rate as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 was 2.88%3.48% and 2.70%3.23%.

Crestwood Midstream is required under its credit agreement to maintain a net debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio (as defined in its credit agreement) of not more than 5.50 to 1.0, a consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio (as defined in its credit agreement) of not less than 2.50 to 1.0, and a senior secured leverage ratio (as defined in its credit agreement) of not more than 3.75 to 1.0. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the net debt to consolidated EBITDA was approximately 4.033.98 to 1.0, the consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense was approximately 3.764.16 to 1.0, and the senior secured leverage ratio was 0.331.07 to 1.0.

The CMLP credit facility allows Crestwood Midstream to increase its available borrowings under the facility by $350.0 million, subject to lender approval and the satisfaction of certain other conditions, as described in the CMLP credit agreement.

Senior Notes

Repayments. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, Crestwood Midstream paid approximately $457.8 million to purchase, redeem and/or cancel all of the principal amount outstanding under the 2022 Senior Notes and approximately $349.9 million to redeem all of the principal amount outstanding under the 2020 Senior Notes. Crestwood Midstream funded the repayments with a combination of net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Senior Notes described below and borrowings under the CMLP credit facility. In conjunction with these note repayments, Crestwood Midstream (i) recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.4 million and $37.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 (including the write off of approximately $6.8 million of deferred financing costs associated with the 2022 Senior Notes); and (ii) paid $5.1 million and $1.0 million of accrued interest on the 2020 Senior Notes and 2022 Senior Notes, respectively, on the date they were tendered.

We calculate basic net income per limited partner unit using the two-class method. Diluted net income per limited partner unit is computed using the treasury stock method, which considers the impact to net income attributable to Crestwood Equity Partners and limited partner units from the potential issuance of limited partner units.
  
We exclude potentially dilutive securities from the determination of diluted earnings per unit (as well as their related income statement impacts) when their impact on net income attributable to Crestwood Equity Partners per limited partner unit is anti-dilutive.

On June 9, 2016, Crestwood Equity filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC under which holders of the Preferred Units may sell the common units into which the Preferred Units are convertible. The registration statement became effective on June 15, 2016. Crestwood Equity registered 7,290,552 common units under the registration statement.

Crestwood Midstream

Prior to the Simplification Merger, the Company indirectly owned a non-economic general partnership interest in Crestwood Midstream and 100% of its incentive distribution rights (IDRs). Crestwood Midstream was also a publicly-traded limited partnership with common units listed on the NYSE. However, as a result of Crestwood Midstream's completion of the Simplification Merger on September 30, 2015, its common units ceased to be listed on the NYSE, the IDRs were eliminated and Crestwood Midstream became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On September 30, 2015, Crestwood Midstream made a distribution of approximately $378.3 million to Crestwood Equity for purposes of repaying (or, if applicable, satisfying and discharging) substantially all of its outstanding indebtedness. The distribution was funded with borrowings under the CMLP Credit Facility.

During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, Crestwood Midstream paid cash distributions of $185.0$86.9 million and $77.4$140.6 million to Crestwood Equity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, Crestwood Midstream paid a cash distribution to its general partner (representing IDRs and distributions related to common units held by the general partner) of approximately $31.4 million.

Limited Partners. The following table presents quarterly cash distributions paid to Crestwood Midstream's limited partners (excluding distributions paid to its general partner on its common units held) during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2015.

Legal Proceedings

Simplification Merger Lawsuits. On May 20, 2015, Lawrence G. Farber, a purported unitholder of Crestwood Midstream, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of the United States,Texas, Houston Division, as a putative class action on behalf of Crestwood Midstream's unitholders, entitled Lawrence G. Farber, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Crestwood Midstream Partners LP, Crestwood Midstream GP LLC, Robert G. Phillips, Alvin Bledsoe, Michael G. France, Philip D. Gettig, Warren H. Gfellar, David Lumpkins, John J. Sherman, David Wood, Crestwood Equity Partners LP, Crestwood Equity GP LLC, CEQP ST Sub LLC, MGP GP, LLC, Crestwood Midstream Holdings LP, and Crestwood Gas Services GP LLC. This complaint alleges, among other things, that Crestwood Midstream's general partner breached its fiduciary duties, certain individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty and due care, and that other defendants aided and abetted such breaches.

On July 21, 2015, Isaac Aron, another purported unitholder of Crestwood Midstream, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of the United States,Texas, Houston Division, as a putative class action on behalf of Crestwood Midstream's unitholders, entitled Isaac Aron, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated vs. Robert G. Phillps, Alvin Bledsoe, Michael G. France, Philip D. Getting, Warren H. Gfeller, David Lumpkins, John J. Sherman, David Wood, Crestwood Midstream Partners, LP Crestwood Midstream Holdings LP, Crestwood Midstream GP LLC, Crestwood Gas Services GP, LLC, Crestwood Equity Partners LP, Crestwood Equity GP LLC, CEQP ST Sub LLC and MGP GP, LLC. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Crestwood Midstream's general partner and certain individual defendants violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14a-9 by filing an alleged incomplete and misleading Form S-4 Registration Statement with the SEC.

On August 12, 2015, the defendants filed a motion to consolidate the Farber and Aron cases, which the court granted on September 4, 2015. Farber subsequently dismissed his claims against all the defendants on September 16, 2015. Aron filed a motion for temporary restraining order and requested an expedited preliminary injunction hearing, which had been scheduled for September 23, 2015. On September 22, 2015, however, the parties entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with respect to a proposed settlement of the Aron lawsuit. The settlement contemplated by the MOU is subject to a number of conditions, including notice to the class, limited confirmatory discovery and final court approval of the settlement. In October 2016, the court approved the settlement. On November 7, 2016, a unitholder filed an appeal of the settlement and a hearingwas held on June 5, 2017, at which the court denied the appeal and finalized the settlement.  The settlement did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Property Taxes. Tres Palacios filed several lawsuits in Matagorda County for tax years 2011, 2012 and 2013 alleging that the Matagorda County Appraisal District (MCAD) assessed taxable value above the fair market value and on an unequal and non-uniform basis compared to other properties. In conjunction with its sale of Tres Palacios to Tres Holdings, Crestwood Equity retained liability for certain tax matters, including these lawsuits. In January 2015, Crestwood Equity received a refund related to the 2011 tax year at the conclusion of the litigation related to that tax year. For the 2012 and 2013 tax years, the MCAD asserted a taxable value that would result in property taxes of approximately $7 million for each of those years, while Tres Palacios asserted a taxable value that would result in property taxes of less than $2 million in each year. Tres Palacios paid approximately $8.6 million to Matagorda County in total for those two tax years. A bench trial was held in October 2015 related to the 2012 and 2013 tax years. In June 2016, the court issued a final judgment on the 2012 and 2013 property tax years which resulted in Crestwood Equity recording additional net property taxes (including interest and penalties) of approximately $2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. In September 2016, Crestwood Equity paid an additional $2.1 million to Matagorda County to settle the litigation related to the 2012 and 2013 tax years.

General. We are periodically involved in litigation proceedings. If we determine that a negative outcome is probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable, then we accrue the estimated amount. The results of litigation proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. We could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters, and such developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the amounts are paid and/or accrued. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016, both CEQP and CMLP had less than $0.1 million accrued for outstanding legal matters. Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures for which we can estimate will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.

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

Regulatory Compliance

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

Environmental Compliance

Our operations are subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to worker health, safety, and the environment. We are subject to laws and regulations at the federal, state, regional and local levels that relate to air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste management and disposal and other environmental matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing and operating our facilities must incorporate compliance with environmental laws and regulations and safety standards. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures.

During 2014, we experienced three releases totaling approximately 28,000 barrels of produced water on our Arrow water gathering system located on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota. We immediately notified the National Response Center, the Three Affiliated Tribes and numerous other regulatory authorities, and thereafter contained and cleaned up the releases completely and placed the impacted segments of these water lines back into service. In May 2015, we experienced a release of approximately 5,200 barrels of produced water on our Arrow water gathering system, immediately notified numerous regulatory authorities and other third parties, and thereafter contained and cleaned up the releases. We will continue our remediation efforts to ensure the impacted lands are restored to their prior state. We believe these releases are insurable events under our policies, and we have notified our carriers of these events. We have not recorded an insurance receivable as of September 30, 2016.

We may potentially be subject to fines and penalties as a result

Table of the water releases.  Contents


In October 2014, we received data requests from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) related to the 2014 water releases and we responded to the requests during the first half of 2015.  In April 2015, the EPA issued a Notice of Potential Violation (NOPV) under the Clean Water Act relating to the largest of the 2014 water releases. We responded to the NOPV in May 2015, and have commenced settlement discussionsin April 2017, we entered into an Administrative Order on Consent (the Order) with the EPA. The Order requires us to continue to remediate and monitor the impacted area for no less than four years unless all goals of the Order are satisfied earlier. The Order does not preclude the EPA from seeking to impose fines and penalties as a result of the water releases.

the EPA concerning the NOPV. On March 3, 2015, we received a grand jury subpoena from the United States Attorney’s Office in Bismarck, North Dakota, seeking documents and information relating to the largest of the three 2014 water releases, and wereleases. We provided the requested information during the second quarter of 2015 and provided key employees to be interviewed by the United States’ Attorney in December 2015. We have not received any further requests for additional information or interviews and it is unclear whether the government will continue to pursue this matter. In August 2015, we received a notice of violation from the Three Affiliated Tribes' Environmental Division related to our 2014 produced water releases on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. The notice of violation imposes fines and requests reimbursements exceeding $1.1 million; however, the notice of violation was stayed on September 15, 2015, upon our posting of a performance bond for the amount contemplated by the notice and pending the outcome of ongoing settlement discussions with the regulatory agencies asserting jurisdiction over the 2014 produced water releases.

We cannot predict whatwill continue our remediation efforts to ensure the outcomeimpacted lands are restored to their prior state. We believe these releases are insurable events under our policies, and we have notified our carriers of these investigations will be.events. We have not recorded an insurance receivable as of June 30, 2017.

Our operations are subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety, and the environment. We are subject to laws and regulations at the federal, state and local levels that relate to air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste management and disposal and other environmental matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing and operating our facilities must incorporate compliance with environmental laws and regulations and safety standards. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, our accrual of approximately $2.4 million and $1.7$2.1 million is based on our undiscounted estimate of amounts we will spend on compliance with environmental and other regulations, and any associated fines or penalties. We estimate that our potential liability for reasonably possible outcomes related to our environmental exposures (including the Arrow water releases described above) could range from approximately $2.4 million to $4.1$3.5 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

Self-Insurance

We utilize third-party insurance subject to varying retention levels of self-insurance, which management considers prudent. Such self-insurance relates to losses and liabilities primarily associated with medical claims, workers' compensation claims and general, product, vehicle and environmental liability. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, CEQP's self-insurance reserves were $18.0$15.5 million and $17.2$15.6 million. We estimate that $11.3$10.6 million of this balance will be paid subsequent to SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. As such, CEQP has classified $11.3$10.6 million in other long-term liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, CMLP's self insurance reserves were $12.9$12.5 million and $11.4$12.2 million. CMLP estimates that $7.1$8.0 million of this balance will be paid subsequent to SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. As such, CMLP has classified $7.1$8.0 million in other long-term liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.

Guarantees and Indemnifications. We are involved in various joint ventures that sometimes require financial and performance guarantees. In a financial guarantee, we are obligated to make payments if the guaranteed party fails to make payments under, or violates the terms of, the financial arrangement. In a performance guarantee, we provide assurance that the guaranteed party will execute on the terms of the contract. If they do not, we are required to perform on their behalf. We also periodically provide indemnification arrangements related to assets or businesses we have sold. For a further description of our guarantees associated with our joint ventures, see Note 4, and for a further description of our guarantees associated with our assets or businesses we have sold, see our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our potential exposure under guarantee and indemnification arrangements can range from a specified amount to an unlimited dollar amount, depending on the nature of the claim, specificity as to duration, and the particular transaction. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we have no amounts accrued for these guarantees.


Note 11 – Related Party Transactions

Crestwood Holdings indirectly owns both CEQP's and CMLP's general partner. The affiliates of Crestwood Holdings and its owners are considered CEQP's and CMLP's related parties, including Sabine Oil and Gas LLC (Sabine) and Mountaineer Keystone LLC. CEQP and CMLP enter into transactions with their affiliates within the ordinary course of business, and the services are based on the same terms as non-affiliates, including gas gathering and processing services under long-term contracts, product purchases and various operating agreements.

In May 2016, Crestwood Midstream Operations, LLC (Crestwood Midstream Operations), our wholly-owned subsidiary and Stagecoach Gas entered into a management agreement under which Crestwood Midstream Operations will provide the management and operating services required by Stagecoach Gas' facilities. The initial term of the agreement will expire in May 2021, and is automatically extended for three-year periods unless otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of the agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we charged Stagecoach Gas $1.0 million and $1.3 million under this agreement, which is reflected as operations and maintenance expenses charged by CEQP and CMLP in the table below.

Note 12 – Segments

Financial Information

We have three operating and reportable segments: (i) gathering and processing operations; (ii) storage and transportation operations; and (iii) marketing, supply and logistics operations. Our corporate operations include all general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to our reportable segments. For a further description of our operating and reporting segments, see our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We assess the performance of our operating segments based on EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is defined as income before income taxes, plus debt-related costs (net interest(interest and debt expense, net and gain or loss(loss) on modification/extinguishment of debt) and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense.

the price and availability of debt and equity financing; and
the ability to sell or monetize assets in the current market, to reduce indebtedness or for other general partnership purposes.

For additional factors that could cause actual results to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements, see Part I, Item IA. Risk Factors of our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Outlook and Trends

Our business objective is to create long-term value for our stakeholdersunitholders. We expect to create long-term value by consistently generating stable operating margin and improved cash flows from operations by prudently financing our investments, maximizing throughput on our assets, expandingand effectively controlling our services and exercising prudent control of operating and administrative costs, resulting in stable operating margins and improving cash flows from operations.costs. Our business strategy further depends, in part, on our ability to provide increased services to our customers at competitive fees, and developincluding opportunities to expand our services resulting from expansions, organic growth projects and acquisitions that can be financed appropriately.

We have positioned the Company to generate consistent results in a low commodity price environment.environment without sacrificing revenue upside. For example, many of our G&P assets are supported by long-term, core acreage dedications in shale plays that are economic to varying degrees based upon natural gas, NGL and crude oil prices, the availability of midstream infrastructure to flow production to market, and the operational and financial condition of our diverse customer base. We believe the diversity of our asset portfolio, the risk and cost sharing nature of our strategic joint ventures, the wide range of services provided and extensive customer portfolio, taken together, positions us to be successful in the current market, whichby our

investments, and our extensive customer portfolio collectively position us to be successful in the current market, which has been impacted by prolonged low commodity prices. In addition, a substantial portion of theour midstream services we provide to customers in the shale playsinvestments are based on fixed fee, take-or-pay or minimum volume commitment agreements that ensure a minimum level of cash flow regardless of actual commodity prices or volumetric throughput.

We continue to focus on executing our strategic plan to substantially de-risk our investment profile and increase our backlog of high-quality growth opportunities around our core assets. As part of our strategic plan, in June 2016, we formed a joint venture with a subsidiary of Con Edison to own and further develop our natural gas storage and transportation operations in the Northeast. We retired with proceeds from the joint venture transaction approximately $936 million of indebtedness (including approximately $623 million of borrowings under our credit facility and approximately $313 million of senior notes), which substantially reduced our financial leverage and improved our liquidity. As one of the largest utilities in the Northeast natural gas demand market, Con Edison offers substantial market insight and commercial expertise that should better position our joint venture to capture incremental growth opportunities in one of our core markets.

In September 2016, we also entered into a long-term agreement with a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc (SWEPI) to construct, own and operate a natural gas gathering system in SWEPI's operated position in the Delaware Permian. Consistent with our strategy of de-risking investments and raising capital for growth projects on attractive terms, we entered into a joint venture with First Reserve to fund the SWEPI gathering system and other potential growth projects in the play. The Delaware Permian in West Texas continues to emerge as one of the most prolific resource basins in North America. Superior wellhead economics for producers across multiple target drilling horizons creates substantial inventory of future wells to be developed in the coming years, which creates significant midstream growth opportunities for midstream companies like us. Through our existing G&P assets at Willow Lake, the system we will construct for SWEPI and other potential gathering projects for large producers in the area, we are establishing a scalable asset base in the core of the Delaware Permian extending from southern New Mexico down through Loving, Reeves, Ward and Culberson Counties, Texas. We believe that we are positioned well to benefit from the continued build-out of this world-class resource.

In conjunction with these matters, for the third quarter of 2016, Crestwood Equity declared a quarterly distribution of $0.60 per common unit (or $2.40 per common unit annually), a 56% reduction of the distribution compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. This distribution reduction increases our ability to further retire indebtedness to strengthen our balance sheet, and to reinvest capital in our business (including expansions and new growth projects).

During the remainder of 20162017 and beyond, we will continue to execute on our plan to better position the Company to emerge from this challenging market environment as a stronger, better capitalized company.company that can sustainably resume growing its distributions. We will remain focused on reducingefficiently allocating capital expenditures, eliminating costs (through increased operating efficiencies and otherwise)cost discipline) and strengthening our balance sheet.

Based on financial results to date,our operating performance during the first six months of 2017, we continue to anticipate that the Company will generate Adjusted EBITDA of $435$380 million to $465$400 million in 2016. See "How2017. We Evaluate Our Operations" below foranticipate our definitionG&P segment will generate $285 million to $295 million of EBITDA, our storage and transportation segment to generate $85 million to $90 million of EBITDA and Adjustedour marketing, supply and logistics segment will generate $75 million to $80 million of EBITDA (non-GAAP measure)in 2017. We expect to focus on expansion and greenfield opportunities in the Delaware Permian and the Bakken shale as further described in "Segment Highlights" below.

Regulatory Matters

Many aspects of the energy midstream sector, such as crude-by-rail activities and pipeline integrity, have experienced increased regulatory oversight over the past few years. Prior to the 2016 presidential election, we expected the trend of greater regulatory oversight to continue for the foreseeable future, However, the election results and anticipated changes in policy could lessen the degree of regulatory scrutiny we face in the near term.

Segment Highlights

Below is a discussion of events that highlight our core business and financing activities.

Gathering and Processing

Bakken. In the Bakken, we are expanding and upgrading our water handling facilities, increasing natural gas capacity on the system, and constructing a 30 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) natural gas processing facility and associated pipelines that we expect to place into service in late 2017. We believe the installation of a gas processing solution on the Arrow system will, among other things, spur greater development activity around the Arrow system, allow us to provide greater flow assurance to our producer customers, and reduce the downstream constraints currently experienced by producers on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. The anticipated cost of this natural gas processing facility and associated pipeline is approximately $115 million.In conjunction with this project, we are negotiating various amendments and extensions with several of our producer customers, and the impact of these contract negotiations is not expected to have a material impact to our 2017 results of operations.
Delaware Permian. In the Delaware Permian, we have identified gathering and processing and transportation opportunities in and around our existing assets. We are expanding both our processing capacity in the region, which includes the construction of a 200 MMcf/d natural gas processing facility in Orla, Texas, and associated pipelines, as well as our interconnection capacity to accommodate greater takeaway options for residue gas and NGLs. The initial cost of the expansion project is expected to cost approximately $170 million with an in-service date in the second half of 2018. We are also developing a crude oil and condensate storage terminal near Orla, Texas that would offer condensate stabilization, truck loading/unloading options and connections to third party pipelines. In addition, we are developing a produced water gathering, disposal and recycling facility in the Delaware Permian. We continue to believe that we are positioned well to benefit from the continued build-out of this world-class resource.

On June 21, 2017, we contributed to Crestwood Permian 100% of theequity interest of Crestwood New Mexico Pipeline LLC (Crestwood New Mexico), our wholly-owned subsidiary that owns our Delaware Basin assets located in Eddy County, New Mexico. This contribution was treated as a transaction between entities under common control, and accordingly we deconsolidated Crestwood New Mexico and our investment in Crestwood Permian was increased by the historical book value of these assets of approximately $69.4 million. In conjunction with this contribution, First Reserve has agreed to contribute to Crestwood Permian the first $151 million of capital costs required to fund the expansion of the Delaware Basin assets, which includes the Orla processing plant and associated pipelines.

Crestwood Permian has a long-term agreement with SWEPI to construct, own and operate a natural gas gathering system in SWEPI's operated position in the Delaware Permian. SWEPI has dedicated to Crestwood Permian approximately 100,000 acres and gathering rights for SWEPI's gas production across a large acreage position in Loving, Reeves, Ward and Culberson Counties, Texas. The Nautilus gathering system is designed to include 194 miles of low pressure gathering lines, 36 miles of

43

Table of Contents


high pressure trunklines and centralized compression facilities which are expandable over time as production increases, producing gas gathering capacity of approximately 250 MMcf/d. The initial build-out of the Nautilus gathering system was completed on June 6, 2017 and includes 20 receipt point meters, 60 miles of pipeline, a 24-mile high pressure header system, 10,800 horsepower of compression and a reconciliationhigh pressure delivery point. Crestwood Permian provides gathering, dehydration, compression and liquids handling services to SWEPI on a fixed fee basis. On August 1, 2017, SWEPI exercised their option to purchase a 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian Basin and we expect to complete this transaction in the fourth quarter of net income2017.

Through June 30, 2017, First Reserve has contributed $37.5 million to EBITDAthe joint venture and Adjusted EBITDA.we have contributed approximately $17.0 million to the joint venture to fund the early-stage build-out of the Nautilus gathering system. We will fund the next $20.5 million of capital requirements for the build-out, and then both parties will fund the remaining capital requirements on a pro rata basis.

During the first half of 2017, we terminated an agreement with a large producer to develop a three-stream gathering system in Reeves County, Texas. We continue to work with this producer and other producers in the area for the potential development of future expansion projects.

Marketing, Supply and Logistics

During the second quarter of 2017, we commenced an in-depth assessment of our trucking and transportation operations to evaluate the markets in which our trucking and transportation business operates, its operating cost structure, customer service levels and organizational efficiencies. Based on this assessment, we, along with our Board of Directors, determined that our trucking and transportation operations should be realigned, including leadership changes, cost reductions, sizing of our fleet and the implementation of rate and profitability key performance indicators. Certain of these changes were implemented during the second quarter of 2017 and will continue throughout the remainder of the year, and we believe these changes will result in improved profitability for this business. Additionally, management plans to realign our trucking operations service capability to be more coordinated with our NGL, crude and water operations and less reliant on third party transportation services. This commercial realignment should allow us to optimize the use of available capacity and position us to reevaluate our trucking and transportation operations in future periods. We anticipate that these realignment efforts will be completed before the end of 2017.

Through the execution of the strategic efforts described above, we expect to increase the stability and strength of the Company through a continued challenging and competitive market environment, which will position us to achieve our chief business objective to create long-term value for our stakeholders.

Segment Highlights

Below is a discussion of events that highlight our core business and financing activities.

Gathering and Processing

Barnett Shale. Our gathering and processing systems were integral to Quicksilver Resources, Inc.'s (Quicksilver) Barnett Shale operations, as a substantial amount of Quicksilver's revenues were derived from the sale of natural gas and natural gas liquids produced from acreage dedicated to us. In March 2015, Quicksilver filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In January 2016, Quicksilver executed an asset purchase agreement with BlueStone Natural Resources II, LLC (BlueStone) for the sale of its U.S. oil and gas assets. On April 6, 2016, Quicksilver closed the sale with BlueStone and in connection with the closing, Quicksilver withdrew its motion to reject its gathering agreements with us. In April 2016, we entered into new 10 year agreements with BlueStone to gather and process natural gas across our Alliance, Lake Arlington and Cowtown systems in the Barnett Shale. Under the terms of these agreements, we will gather and process natural gas for BlueStone under fixed-fee and percent-of-proceeds fee structures, and pursuant to the agreements, BlueStone returned wells previously shut-in by Quicksilver to production in 2016 and will not shut-in or choke back production for economic purposes

through the end of 2018. The new agreements with Bluestone are factored into our anticipated 2016 results described in Outlook and Trends above, and we believe the agreements will provide further stability to our investment profile.
Delaware Permian. In September 2016, we entered into a long-term agreement with SWEPI to construct, own and operate a natural gas gathering system in SWEPI's operated position in the Delaware Permian. SWEPI will provide us with a dedication of approximately 100,000 acres and gathering rights for SWEPI gas production across a large acreage position in Loving, Reeves, Ward and Culberson Counties, Texas. The initial gathering system is designed for gas production of approximately 250 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) and will include 194 miles of low pressure gathering lines, 36 miles of high pressure trunklines, and centralized compression facilities which are expandable over time as production increases. We will provide gathering, dehydration, compression and liquids handling services on a fixed fee basis. Additionally, Shell has the option to purchase up to a 50% equity interest in the system prior to September 1, 2017. We estimate the complete build-out of the gas gathering system will cost approximately $180 million, of which approximately $90 million is anticipated to be spent in 2016 and 2017. Project development activities are underway with a targeted initial in-service date on or before July 1, 2017.

In October 2016, Crestwood and First Reserve entered into definitive agreements to form a joint venture to fund and own the gathering system described above and future operations in the Delaware Permian. Under the joint venture, First Reserve will fund up to $37.5 million of the capital requirements during the early-stage build-out of the gathering system, after which we will fund the next $37.5 million, and then both parties will fund future remaining capital requirements evenly thereafter. We anticipate funding our portion of the capital expenditures required for the gathering system with internally generated cash flows and borrowings under the CMLP revolving credit facility.

In late 2015, we expanded the Willow Lake processing plant to 50 MMcf/d, which we completed and placed into service in January 2016. The recent expansion of the Willow Lake system was supported by a seven year contract extension with Mewbourne Oil Co. which increased the amount of WolfCamp drilling and rich gas development expected in the area.

Storage and Transportation

In April 2016, Crestwood Northeast and CEGP entered into a definitive agreement to form the Stagecoach JV to own and further develop our NE S&T assets. Pursuant to the contribution agreement, on June 3, 2016, we contributed to Stagecoach Gas the entities owning the NE S&T assets, CEGP contributed $945 million to Stagecoach Gas in exchange for a 50% equity interest in Stagecoach Gas, and Stagecoach Gas distributed to Crestwood Northeast the net cash proceeds received from CEGP. In conjunction with the contribution, we deconsolidated the NE S&T assets on June 3, 2016 and began accounting for our 50% equity interest in Stagecoach Gas under the equity method of accounting. Additional information about the announced joint venture and certain related matters is available on the Form 8-Ks filed by each of Crestwood Equity and Crestwood Midstream on April 22, 2016 and June 8, 2016.unitholders.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our critical accounting estimates are consistent with those described in our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Below is an update of our critical accounting estimates related to goodwill.

Goodwill Impairment

Our goodwill represents the excess of the amount we paid for a business over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually on December 31, and whenever events indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit could be less than its carrying amount. This evaluation requires us to compare the fair value of each of our reporting units to its carrying value (including goodwill). If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired.

We estimate the fair value of our reporting units based on a number of factors, including discount rates, projected cash flows, and the potential value we would receive if we sold the reporting unit. We also compare the total fair value of our reporting units to our overall enterprise value, which considers the market value for our common and preferred units. Estimating projected cash flows requires us to make certain assumptions as it relates to the future operating performance of each of our reporting units (which includes assumptions, among others, about estimating future operating margins and related future growth in those margins, contracting efforts and the cost and timing of facility expansions) and assumptions related to our customers, such as their future capital and operating plans and their financial condition. When considering operating performance, various factors are considered such as current and changing economic conditions and the commodity price environment, among others. Due to the imprecise nature of these projections and assumptions, actual results can and often do, differ from our estimates. If the assumptions embodied in the projections prove inaccurate, we could incur a future impairment charge. In addition, the use

46

Table of Contents


of the income approach to determine the fair value of our reporting units (see further discussion of the use of the income approach below) could result in a different fair value if we had utilized a market approach, or a combination thereof.

We acquired substantially all of our reporting units in 2013, 2012 and 2011, which required us to record the assets, liabilities and goodwill of each of those reporting units at fair value on the date they were acquired. As a result, any level of decrease in the forecasted cash flows of these businesses or increases in the discount rates utilized to value those businesses from their respective acquisition dates would likely result in the fair value of the reporting unit falling below the carrying value of the reporting unit, and could result in an assessment of whether that reporting unit's goodwill is impaired.

Commodity prices have continued to decline since late 2014, and that decline has adversely impacted forecasted cash flows, discount rates and stock/unit prices for most companies in the midstream industry, including us. In particular, due to the significant, sustained decrease in the market price of our common units during the first quarter of 2016, we evaluated the carrying value of our reporting units and determined it was more likely than not that the goodwill associated with several of our reporting units was impaired as of March 31, 2016. As a result of further analysis of the fair value of our reporting units, we recorded goodwill impairments on several of our reporting units during the first quarter of 2016. We did not record any additional goodwill impairments during the second and third quarters of 2016.

The following table summarizes the goodwill of our various reporting units (in millions):

The goodwill impairments recorded during the first quarter of 2016 primarily resulted from increasing the discount rates utilized in determining the fair value of the reporting units for certain of those reporting units considering the significant, sustained decrease in the market price of our common units and the continued decrease in commodity prices and its impact on the midstream industry and our customers. We utilized the income approach to determine the fair value of our reporting units given the limited availability of comparable market-based transactions as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and we utilized discount rates ranging from 10% to 19% in applying the income approach to determine the fair value of our reporting units with goodwill as of March 31, 2016. Our COLT, Supply and Logistics, Storage and Terminals and Trucking reporting units also experienced impairments during 2015 based on the impact that the prolonged low commodity price environment is expected to have on the demand for future services provided by these operations. Despite increases in the operating results of these reporting units from 2013 to 2015, we revised our cash flow forecasts for these operations at December 31, 2015 in light of our current view that these operations will not grow as fast or as significantly in the future as originally forecasted in 2013 when the assets were acquired.

We continue to monitor the remaining goodwill described in the table above, and we could experience additional impairments of the remaining goodwill in the future if we experience a significant sustained decrease in the market value of our common or preferred units or if we receive additional negative information about market conditions or the intent of our customers on our

47

Table of Contents


remaining operations with goodwill, which could negatively impact the forecasted cash flows or discount rates utilized to determine the fair value of those businesses, especially in light of continued declining results experienced by our trucking business in 2016, as further described in Results of Operations below. In particular, a 5% decrease in the forecasted cash flows or a 1% increase in the discount rates utilized to determine the fair value of our businesses that recorded goodwill impairments in 2016 could have resulted in an additional $35 million of goodwill impairments as of March 31, 2016. There we no triggers which required us to evaluate our goodwill for impairment during the second and third quarters of 2016.

How We Evaluate Our Operations
 
We evaluate our overall business performance based primarily on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We evaluate our ability to make distributions to our unitholders based on cash available for distribution and distributions received from Crestwood Midstream.

We do not utilize depreciation, depletion and amortization expense in our key measures because we focus our performance management on cash flow generation and our assets have long useful lives.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA - We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are widely accepted financial indicators of a company's operational performance and its ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to our investors because it allows them to use the same performance measure analyzed internally by our management to evaluate the performance of our businesses and investments without regard to the manner in which they are financed or our capital structure. EBITDA is defined as income before income taxes, plus debt-related costs (net interest(interest and debt expense, net and gain or loss(loss) on modification/extinguishment of debt) and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA considers the adjusted earnings impact of our unconsolidated affiliates by adjusting our equity earnings or losses from our unconsolidated affiliates to reflect our proportionate share (based on the distribution percentage) of their EBITDA, excluding impairments. Adjusted EBITDA also considers the impact of certain significant items, such as unit-based compensation charges, losses on long-lived assets, impairments of goodwill, third party costs incurred related to potential and completed acquisitions, certain environmental remediation costs, certain costs related to our 2015 cost savings initiatives, the change in fair value of commodity inventory-related derivative contracts, costs associated with our 2017 realignment of our Marketing, Supply and Logistics trucking and transportation operations, and other transactions identified in a specific reporting period. The change in fair value of commodity inventory-related derivative contracts is considered in determining Adjusted EBITDA given that the

44

Table of Contents


timing of recognizing gains and losses on these derivative contracts differs from the recognition of revenue for the related underlying sale of inventory that these derivatives relate to. Changes in the fair value of other derivative contracts is not considered in determining Adjusted EBITDA given the relatively short-term nature of those derivative contracts. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, as they do not include deductions for items such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, interest and income taxes, which are necessary to maintain our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternativeas alternatives to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations may vary among entities, so our computation may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.
See our reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in Results of Operations below.

Below is a discussion of the factors that impacted EBITDA by segment for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to the same periods in 2015.2016.

Gathering and Processing

EBITDA for CMLP's G&Pour gathering and processing segment increased by approximately $38.7$9.3 million and $26.6$17.5 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to the same periods in 2015.2016. The comparability of our G&P segment's results period over period is primarilyEBITDA was impacted by an $8.6 million goodwill impairmentsimpairment recorded during the first quarter of 2016 and the second and third quartersrelated to our Marcellus operations. For a further discussion of 2015, which are further described below.

our goodwill impairments recorded during 2016, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 2. During the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, our G&P segment's revenues were lowerincreased by approximately $62.1$139.1 million and $243.6$278.6 million compared to the same periods in 2015,2016, partially offset by loweran increase in costs of product/services sold of approximately $56.7$128.4 million and $210.4$265.2 million. These decreasesincreases were primarily driven by our Arrow operations, which experienced a $63.7$131.5 million and $212.9$266.1 million reductionincrease in revenues during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to the same periods in 2015, substantially offset by2016, and a $61.8$123.8 million and $212.0$253.6 million decreaseincrease in costs of products/product/services sold. The decreaseincrease in Arrow's product revenues and costs of product/services sold was primarily driven by reduced market prices on crude oil, which causedhigher average prices on Arrow's agreements under which it purchases and sells crude. In addition, our crude, oil buy/sell agreementsgas and water volumes increased by 18%, 14% and 24%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to decrease.the same period in 2016, and increased 19%, 1% and 15% during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, due to the connection of 59 wells on our Arrow system during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 26 wells connected during the same period in 2016, and higher initial production rates experienced on those connected wells in 2017 compared to 2016.

Also contributing to the decreaseincrease in our G&P segment's revenues were lower servicehigher product revenues from our Marcellus and BarnettPermian operations of approximately $3.5$6.7 million and $2.0$14.4 million respectively, during the three and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 and higher costs of product/services sold of approximately $5.5 million and $12.1 million. These increases were primarily due to a 40% increase in volumes gathered in the Permian during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 20152016, and $18.7 million and $14.8 million, respectively,a 12% increase in volumes gathered during the ninethree months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, as a result of our Willow Lake processing plant that was placed into service in February 2016 and our Nautilus system coming online in June 2017. Our processing volumes were 38 MMcf/d and 36 MMcf/d during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 26 MMcf/d and 24 MMcf/d during the same periods in 2016. On June 21, 2017, we contributed to Crestwood Permian 100% of theequity interest of Crestwood New Mexico, which owns our Delaware Basin assets located in Eddy County, New Mexico, including the Willow Lake processing plant. This contribution was treated as a transaction between entities under common control, and accordingly we deconsolidated Crestwood New Mexico.

Partially offsetting the revenue increases from our Arrow and Permian operations were lower revenues from our Marcellus operations of approximately $4.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2015. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we experienced2016. We continue to experience a decrease in our gathering and compression volumes on our Marcellus system due to lack of drilling from our primary customer, Antero Resources Appalachian Corporation, as a result of the decline in commodity prices. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, ourAntero.

Our gathering and compression volumes on our Marcellus system were 0.4 Bcf/d and 0.5 Bcf/d, respectively, compared to 0.5 Bcf/d and 0.6 Bcf/d, respectively, during the same periods in 2015. The service revenues from our Barnett operations decreased by $6.2 million during the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, and decreased by another $2.0 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 as a result of our primary customer in the Barnett, Quicksilver, ceasing drilling and shutting in production in 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 as a result of its filing for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in 2015 (see "Segment Highlights" above for an update on the Quicksilver Bankruptcy). Our new customer in the Barnett, BlueStone, brought the shut-in wells back online throughout the second quarter of 2016, such that substantially all wells previously shut-in by Quicksilver have resumed flowing volumes.

Partially offsetting the decreases from our Arrow, Marcellus and Barnett operations discussed above was a $3.1 million and $10.8 million decrease inprocessing segment's operations and maintenance expenses decreased approximately $2.7 million and $3.1 million during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to the same periods in 2015 that resulted from2016 due to continued cost-reduction efforts undertaken in our cost-savings initiative implemented in 2015.

Our G&P segment's EBITDA was also impacted by an $8.6 million impairment of goodwill associated with our Marcellus system during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and an $8.3 million and $39.1 million impairment of goodwill associated with our Fayetteville system during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively.operations.

For a further discussion of our goodwill impairments recorded during 2016, see "Critical Accounting Estimates" above and Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 2.

Our storage and transportation segment's EBITDA was impacted by an increase in earnings from our unconsolidated affiliates. As discussed above, effectivein June 3, 2016, we deconsolidated the NE S&Tour Northeast storage and transportation assets as a result of thisthe Stagecoach Gas transaction and began accounting for our 50% equity interest in Stagecoach Gas under the equity method of accounting. We recognized equity earnings from Stagecoach Gas of approximately $6.8$6.6 million and $9.1$12.6 million during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016. Our equity earnings2017. Earnings from our Tres Holdings were lowerequity investment increased by approximately $2.8$3 million during both the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to the same periodperiods in 2015,2016 primarily due to an increase in property tax accruals at the equity investment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, our proportionate share of the net earnings from our unconsolidated affiliate, PRBIC, was $0.3 million and $1.2 million compared to $0.2 million and $3.5 millionrecorded by Tres Holdings during the same periods in 2015. For additional information on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 4.2016.

The change in CEQP's storage and transportation segment's EBITDA period over period was due to all the factors as discussed above for CMLP. In addition, in June 2016, the Matagorda County court issued a final judgment related to Tres Palacios' 2012 and 2013 property tax years which resulted in Crestwood Equity recording additional net property taxes (including interest and penalties) of approximately $2.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Marketing, Supply and Logistics

EBITDA for our marketing, supply and logistics segment increased by approximately $213.6$1.9 million and $174.0$105.3 million forduring the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to the same periods in 2015.2016. The comparability of our marketing, supply and logistics segment's results period over period iswas impacted by goodwill impairments of approximately $87.4 million recorded during the first quarter of 2016 and the second and third quarters of 2015, which are further described below.

Our NGL and crude trucking operations experienced a continued decrease in the demand for their services due to lower volumes, increased competition and excess trucking capacity in the market place and the low commodity price environment during the three months ended September 30, 2016, resulting in a 17% and 76% decrease in NGL and crude volumes transported, respectively, and a 24% and 64% decrease in NGL and crude volumes, respectively during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This resulted in a $1.0 million and $24.5 million decrease in revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015, partially offset by a $0.6 million and $3.0 million decrease in costs of services sold from these operations during the same periods.

During the three months September 30, 2016, we experienced an increase in activity related to our other NGL terminalling, supply and logistics operations which resulted in a $39.7 million increase in costs of product/services sold, partially offset by a $26.9 million increase in revenues compared to the same period in 2015. The net change was primarily driven by an increase in NGL commodity prices and tightening of basis differentials on these operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, our other NGL terminalling, supply and logistics operations experienced a $49.2 million decrease in revenues, partially offset by a $39.5 million decrease in costs of product/services swhen compared to the same period in 2015 due to the low commodity price environment coupled with warmer weather during 2016 compared to 2015. These revenue and costs of services decreases related to our NGL terminalling, supply and logistics operations include a gain on our commodity-based derivative contracts of approximately $4.1 million and $11.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, revenues from our crude marketing operations increased by approximately $39.4 million and $103.8 million compared to the same periods in 2015, in addition to an increase of approximately $40.1 million and $104.2 million in our costs of product/services sold period over period. These increases were driven by higher crude marketing volumes, partially offset by lower commodity prices.

Our marketing, supply and logistics segment's operations and maintenance expense decreased by $4.8 million and $8.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015, primarily due to our cost-savings initiative implemented in 2015.

Our marketing, supply and logistics segment's EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was also impacted by an $87.4 million impairment of goodwill associated with our supply and logistics, storage and terminals and trucking operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a $28.4 million and a $31.9 million impairment of goodwill associated with our West Coast and Watkins Glen operations, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded goodwill impairments of approximately $57.5 million, $147.3 million and $18.0 million related to our West Coast, Trucking and Watkins Glen operations, respectively. For a further discussion of our goodwill impairments recorded during 2016, and 2015, see "Critical Accounting Estimates" above and Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 2.

Our supply and logistics operations experienced an increase in revenues of approximately $58.8 million and $197.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016, and an increase in costs of product/services sold of approximately $57.7 million and $178.9 million during those same periods. During the first half of 2016, we experienced unseasonably warm weather which resulted in lower demand for NGLs compared to the first half of 2017. The

costs of product/services sold increases include a gain of $6.9 million and $1.5 million on our commodity-based derivative contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and a $1.3 million and $2.0 million gain on commodity-based derivative contracts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, our storage and terminals operations (including our West Coast operations) experienced a $36.3 million and $65.1 million increase in revenues compared to the same periods in 2016 and a $35.9 million and $64.6 million increase in costs of product/services sold during those same periods. The increase in our storage and terminals operations was primarily driven by demand for propane-related services period over period, and the acquisition of wholesale propane assets in December 2016 from Turner Gas Company.

Revenues from our crude marketing operations increased by approximately $58.9 million and $95.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016. Additionally, we experienced an increase in our costs of product/services sold of approximately $58.7 million and $96.7 million. These increases were driven by higher crude marketing volumes due to increased marketing activity surrounding our crude-related operations.

Our NGL and crude trucking operations continued to experience a decline in demand for their services due to lower supply volumes, increased competition, excess trucking capacity in the market place and lower commodity prices during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016, resulting in a $3.7 million and $9.5 million decrease in revenues and a $1.9 million and $4.3 million decrease costs of product/services sold period over period.

Other EBITDA Results

General and Administrative Expenses. As discussedDuring the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, our general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $6 million and $3 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2016 primarily due to transaction costs incurred during 2016 related to the Stagecoach Gas joint venture transaction described in Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 12, our corporate operations include all general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to our reporting segments, however such expenses impact our consolidated EBITDA.4.

During 2015, we implemented a cost-saving initiative which was the primary driver in the reduction of Crestwood Equity's general and administrative expenses by approximately $14.5 million and $20.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015 and reduced Crestwood Midstream's general and administrative expenses by approximately $11.9 million and $14.6 million during the same periods.

Items not affecting EBITDA include the following:

Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion Expense - During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, our depreciation,Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periodperiods in 2015,2016, primarily due to a reduction in the carrying value of certain of our assets as a result of impairments of our property, plant and equipment and intangible assets recorded during 2015 and the deconsolidation of our NE S&Tthe Northeast storage and transportation assets onin June 3, 2016.

Interest and Debt Expense, Net - Crestwood Midstream's interestInterest and debt expense, net decreased by approximately $5.1$10.2 million and $19.8 million during the three monthsand six month ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to the same periods in 2015,2016, primarily due to repayments of a portion of its 2020 Senior Notes and 2022 Senior Notes during 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, Crestwood Midstream's interest and debt expense, net increased by approximately $2.8 million compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to the issuance of its 2023 Senior Notes in March 2015 and higher outstanding balances on its credit facility. Crestwood Equity's interest and debt expense, net decreased by approximately $8.2 million and $6.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015, primarily due to repayment of its senior notes in 2015 and repayments of Crestwood Midstream's 2020 Senior Notes and 2022 Senior Notes in 2016.and lower interest costs related to the Credit Facility.

Gain (Loss)Loss on Modification/Extinguishment of Debt. During the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.4 million and $37.7 million in conjunction with the tender of the remaining principal amounts of Crestwood Midstream's 2020 Senior Notes and 2022 Senior Notes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $10.0$10 million in conjunction withon the early tender of a portion of ourprincipal amounts under Crestwood Midstream's 2020 Senior Notes and 2022 Senior Notes.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, Crestwood Equity recognized For a loss on modification/extinguishmentfurther discussion of debt of approximately $2.7 million and $19.8 million, while Crestwood Midstream recognized losses of $1.8 million and $18.9 million during the same periods. These losses were related to the termination of the Crestwood Equity's credit facility, the redemption of Crestwood Midstream's 2019 Senior Notes and modification of Crestwood Midstream's credit facility.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Partners.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Crestwood Equity is a holding company that derives all of its operating cash flow from its operating subsidiaries.  Our principal sources of liquidity include cash generated by operating activities from our subsidiaries, and distributions from our joint venture investments,ventures, borrowings under our credit facilities, debt issuances,facility, and sales of commonequity and preferred units.debt securities. Our operating subsidiaries use cash from their respective operations to fund their operating activities, maintenance and growth capital expenditures, and service their outstanding indebtedness. We believe our liquidity sources and operating cash flows are sufficient to address our future operating, debt service and capital requirements.
 
As described in Outlook and Trends above,We pay quarterly distributions of approximately $15 million to our preferred unitholders. For the quarter ending September 30, 2017, we completedexpect to pay the formation of a joint venture with a subsidiary of Con Edison to own and further develop our natural gas storage and transportation operations in the northeast. The contribution of the NE S&T assets to Stagecoach Gas resulted in a distribution to usour preferred unitholders in cash in lieu of approximately $945 million duringissuing additional preferred units, and beginning with the second quarter of 2016, which was utilized to retire indebtedness (including a portion of the principal amounts outstanding under our 2020 Senior Notes and 2022 Senior Notes and borrowings under Crestwood Midstream's credit facility). This substantially reduced our financial leverage and improved our liquidity.

Additionally, in October 2016, Crestwood and First Reserve entered into definitive agreements to form a joint venture to fund and own a new gathering system in the Delaware Permian. Under the joint venture, First Reserve will fund up to $37.5 million of the capital requirements during the early-stage build-out of the gathering system, after whichending December 31, 2017, we will fund the next $37.5 million, and then both parties will fundbe required to make all future remaining capital requirements evenly thereafter. We anticipate fundingquarterly distributions to our portion of the capital expenditures required for the gathering system with internally generated cash flows and borrowings under the CMLP revolving credit facility.

In conjunction with these matters, for the third quarter of 2016, Crestwood Equity declared a quarterly distribution of $0.60 per common unit (or $2.40 per common unit annually), a 56% reduction of the distribution compared to the fourth quarter of 2015. This distribution reduction increases our ability to further retire indebtedness to strengthen our balance sheet, and to reinvest capitalpreferred unitholders in our business (including expansions and new growth projects).cash. We believe that the reduction of our indebtedness and reduction of our distributions will provide us with ample liquidity to address our future operating, debt service and capital requirements without accessing the capital markets in the near future. We also believe thatduring 2017, our operating cash flows will well exceed our quarterly distributions at the current reduced level for the remainder of 2016.and cash distributions to our preferred unitholders.

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, Crestwood Midstream had $586.6$631.3 million of available capacity under its credit facility considering the most restrictive debt covenants in its credit agreement. As further described in Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7,At June 30, 2017, Crestwood Midstream amendedwas in compliance with all of its debt covenants applicable to its credit facility during the second quarter of 2016 to, among other things, facilitate the announced joint venture with Con Edison and retire indebtedness with the proceeds thereof. Additional information about the amendment is available on the Form 8-K filed by each of Crestwood Equity and Crestwood Midstream on April 22, 2016 and June 8, 2016.senior notes.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. As of September 30, 2016, Crestwood Midstream was in compliance with all of its debt covenants applicable to the Crestwood Midstream credit facility and its senior notes.

Operating Activities

Our operating cash flows decreased approximately $57.1$60.1 million during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 compared to the same period in 20152016, primarily due to a $278.2an increase in costs of product/services sold of approximately $599.7 million decrease in operating revenues due primarily to the deconsolidation of our NE S&T assets in June 2016 and from our gathering and processing and marketing, supply and logistics segments' operations. These revenue decreases wereoperations discussed above, partially offset by lower costs of product/services sold of approximately $158.3a $540.5 million primarily due to the effect of lower commodity prices on our gathering and processing and marketing, supply and logisticsincrease in operating revenues from these segments' operations. The net decrease in net operating cash flows described above was partially offsetalso impacted by lower operations and maintenance and general and administrative expenses of approximately $44.6 million primarily due to the deconsolidation of our NE S&TNortheast storage and transportation assets in June 2016 and our cost-savings initiative implemented during 2015 and a $1.2 million net cash inflow from working capital primarily resulting from lesser working capital requirements of our NGL and crude trucking operations.2016.

Investing Activities

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

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

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

The following table summarizesWe anticipate our growth capital expenditures forin 2017 to range from $225 million to $250 million, which considers the new expansion projects in the Bakken and capital contributions to our equity investments described in nine months endedSeptember 30, 2016Segment Highlights (above. We anticipate that our growth capital expenditures throughout 2017 will increase the operating efficiencies of our systems and generate meaningful contributions to our results of operations beginning in millions2018. We expect to finance our growth and

). We have identified additional growth capital project opportunities for each of our reporting segments. We expect our 2016 capital expenditures to be limited to previously committed contractual projects around our existing asset footprint and the build-out of our gas gathering system in the Permian - Delaware Basin. Additional commitments or expenditures will be made at our discretion, and any discontinuation of the construction of these projects will likely result in less future cash flows and earnings.

In addition to our capital expenditures described in the table above, our cash flows from investing activities were also impacted by capital contributions of approximately $6 million and $40 million to our unconsolidated affiliates during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. On June 3, 2016, we contributed to Stagecoach Gas the entities owning the NE S&T assets, CEGP contributed $945 million to Stagecoach Gas in exchange for a 50% equity interest in Stagecoach Gas, and Stagecoach Gas distributed to Crestwood Northeast the net cash proceeds of approximately $942 million received from CEGP.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our interest rate risk and commodity price and market risks are discussed in our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and there have been no material changes in those exposures from December 31, 20152016 to SeptemberJune 30, 2016. Below is an update of our credit risk related to one of our gathering and processing customers.

We continue to closely monitor our producer customer base since a majority of our customers in our gathering and processing segment and storage and transportation segment are either not rated by the major rating agencies or had below investment grade credit ratings. As noted in Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, on April 6, 2016, Quicksilver sold its U.S. oil and gas assets to BlueStone. As a result of this sale, we no longer have any credit risk related to Quicksilver and Quicksilver has paid all final amounts billed to them.2017.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, Crestwood Equity and Crestwood Midstream carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of their respective management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of their General Partners, as to the effectiveness, design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Crestwood Equity and Crestwood Midstream maintain controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in their respective reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC, and that information is accumulated and communicated to their respective management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of their General Partners, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Such management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of their General Partners, do not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or the internal controls will prevent and/or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Crestwood Equity's and Crestwood Midstream's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of their General Partners concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to Crestwood Equity's or Crestwood Midstream's internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect Crestwood Equity's or Crestwood Midstream's internal control over financial reporting.
