FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK
This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this report, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected costs and plans, and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on our examination of historical operating trends, production and growth forecasts of Apache Corporation’s Alpine High field development and other data in our possession or available from third parties. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” or “continue” or similar terminology. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, our assumptions about:
the market prices of oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs), and other products or services;
pipeline and gathering system capacity;
production rates, throughput volumes, reserve levels and development success of dedicated oil and gas fields;
economic and competitive conditions;
the availability of capital;
cash flow and the timing of expenditures;
capital expenditures and other contractual obligations;
weather conditions;
inflation rates;
the availability of goods and services;
legislative, regulatory, or policy changes;
terrorism or cyber attacks;
occurrence of property acquisitions or divestitures;
the integration of acquisitions;
a decline in oil, natural gas, and NGL production, and the impact of general economic conditions on the demand for oil, natural gas, and NGLs;
the impact of environmental, health and safety, and other governmental regulations and of current or pending legislation;
environmental risks;
effects of competition;
our ability to retain key members of our senior management and key technical employees;
increases in interest rates;
the effectiveness of our business strategy;
changes in technology;
market-related risks such as general credit, liquidity and interest-rate risks;
the timing, amount and terms of our future issuances of equity and debt securities; and

ii


other factors disclosed under Item 1A — Risk Factors, Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk and elsewhere in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K, other risks and uncertainties in our third-quarter 2019 earnings release, other factors disclosed under Part II, Item 1A — Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and any other factors disclosed in the other filings that we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. We assume no duty to update or revise our forward-looking statements based on changes in internal estimates or expectations or otherwise.

Refer to Note 2 — Recapitalization Transaction, for further discussion.

Ownership of Altus Midstream LP
Upon the redemptionclosing of anythe Business Combination and as of September 30, 2019, Altus’ wholly-owned subsidiary, Altus Midstream GP LLC (Altus Midstream GP), was the sole general partner of Altus Midstream. The Company held approximately 23.1 percent of the outstanding Common Units of Altus Midstream, while Apache held the remaining 76.9 percent. Additionally, as of the Closing Date and as of September 30, 2019, Apache was the largest single holder of the Company’s voting common stock, comprising 100 percent of non-economic Class C Common Stock and approximately 9.8 percent of economic Class A Common Stock.


On June 12, 2019, Altus Midstream issued and sold Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the Preferred Units) in a private offering. Concurrently, the Preferred Units were established as a new class of partnership unit representing limited partner interests in Altus Midstream pursuant to the terms of a Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Altus Midstream (the Amended LPA), and the purchasers were admitted as limited partners of Altus Midstream. For further details on the terms of the Preferred Units and the rights of the holders thereof, refer to Note 12 — Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units.
The Amended LPA contains certain provisions intended to ensure that a 1-to-one ratio is maintained, at all times and subject only to limited exceptions, between (i) the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock included inand the units (the “Public Shares”) sold innumber of Altus Midstream Common Units held by Altus and (ii) the Public Offering that have been properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s certificatenumber of incorporation to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to redeem 100% of suchoutstanding shares of Class AC Common Stock if it does not complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering; and (iii) the redemption of 100% of the shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Units sold in the Public Offering if the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering (subject to the requirements of law). The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the Company’s public stockholders.

Initial Business Combination

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Public Offering, although substantially all of the net proceeds of the Public Offering are intended to be generally applied toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. The Initial Business Combination must occur with one or more target businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the Initial Business Combination. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect an Initial Business Combination.

The Company, after signing a definitive agreement for an Initial Business Combination, will either (i) seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination at a meeting called for such purpose in connection with which stockholders may seek to redeem their shares, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Initial Business Combination, for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business

Combination, including investment income but less taxes payable, or (ii) provide stockholders with the opportunity to sell their Public Shares to the Company by means of a tender offer (and thereby avoid the need for a stockholder vote) for an amount in cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including investment income but less taxes payable. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of the Initial Business Combination or will allow stockholders to sell their Public Shares in a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would otherwise require the Company to seek stockholder approval, unless a vote is required by law or under rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. If the Company seeks stockholder approval, it will complete its Initial Business Combination only if a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 upon consummation of the Initial Business Combination. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Initial Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Initial Business Combination.

If the Company holds a stockholder vote or there is a tender offer for shares in connection with an Initial Business Combination, a public stockholder will have the right to redeem its shares for an amount in cash equal to its pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination, including investment income but less taxes payable. As a result, such shares of Class A Common Stock will be recorded at redemption amount and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Public Offering, in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.”

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company after an Initial Business Combination, the Company’s stockholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The Company’s stockholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock, except that the Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination, subject to the limitations described herein.

Liquidation and Going Concern

Pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, if the Company is unable to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the Public Offering, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the Public Shares, at aper-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including investment income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of investment income to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have entered into letter agreements with the Company, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares (as defined below)Altus Midstream Common Units held by them if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within 24 months of the closing of the Public Offering. However, if the Sponsor or any of the Company’s directors, officers or affiliates acquire shares of Class A Common Stock in or after the Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such shares if the Company fails to complete the Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time period.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2014-15, management has determined that the mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution discussed above raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after April 4, 2019.

In the event of liquidation, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be less than the initial public offering price per unit in the Public Offering.

1.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are presentedhave been prepared in U.S. dollars in conformityaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
Principles of America (“GAAP”)Consolidation
The consolidated financial results of Altus Midstream are included in Altus Midstream Company’s consolidated financial statements due to Altus Midstream Company’s 100 percent ownership interest in Altus Midstream GP, and pursuantAltus Midstream GP’s control of Altus Midstream.
Altus Midstream Company has no independent operations or material assets other than its partnership interests in Altus Midstream, which constitutes all of its business. Altus Midstream Company’s only material net assets separate from Altus Midstream relate to deferred taxes and the accountingcurrent and disclosure rulesdeferred income tax expense (benefit) associated with its investment in Altus Midstream. The deferred tax asset balance was $68.6 million and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position$67.6 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Additionally, Altus Midstream Company’s balance sheet reflects the presentation of noncontrolling interest ownership attributable to the limited partner interests in Altus Midstream held by Apache and the Preferred Unit holders. Refer to Note 13 — Income Taxes, Note 11 — Equity and Note 12 — Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units for further information.
Variable Interest Entity
Altus Midstream is a variable interest entity (VIE) because the partners in Altus Midstream with equity at risk lack the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities that most significantly impact Altus Midstream’s economic performance.
A reporting entity that concludes it has a variable interest in a VIE must evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in the VIE, such that it is the VIE’s primary beneficiary and should consolidate. Altus Midstream Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and therefore should consolidate Altus Midstream because (i) Altus Midstream Company has the ability to direct the activities of Altus Midstream that most significantly affect its economic performance, and (ii) Altus Midstream Company has the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could be potentially significant to Altus Midstream.
Financial Statement Presentation
While Altus Midstream Company (formerly KAAC) was the surviving legal entity, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. As such, Altus Midstream Company was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes.
As a result of the Altus Midstream Entities being the accounting acquirer, the historical operations of the Altus Midstream Entities are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the financial statements included in this report reflect: (i) the historical operating results of operationsthe Altus Midstream Entities prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the net assets of the Altus Midstream Entities at their historical cost; (iii) the consolidated results of the Company and cash flowsthe Altus Midstream Entities following the closing of the Business Combination; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for theall periods presented. Certain informationNo step-up in basis of the contributed assets and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto includedno intangible assets or goodwill was recorded in the Form10-K filed by the Company with the SEC on March 27, 2018.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply tonon-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statement with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition, period difficult or impossible, because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus, to the extent dilutive, the incremental number of shares of common stock to settle warrants, as calculated using the treasury stock method. An aggregate of 36,061,344 and 35,994,404 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption at September 30, 2018 and at September 30, 2017, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of basic income per common share. For all periods presented, the Company has not considered the effect of the warrants sold in the Public Offering (including the consummation of the over-allotment) and Private Placement Warrants to purchase 18,941,651 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income per share, since the exercise of the warrants and the conversion of the rights into shares of common stock is contingent upon the occurrence of future events.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheet.

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company followsbases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the asset and liability methodcircumstances, the results of accountingwhich form the basis for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred taxmaking judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are recognizednot readily apparent from other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of its financial statements, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known.

Fair Value

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820-10-35, “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820), provides a hierarchy that prioritizes and defines the types of inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs, which consist of unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 inputs consist of quoted prices for similar instruments. Level 3 valuations are derived from inputs that are significant and unobservable; hence, these valuations have the lowest priority.
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value include a market approach, an income approach and a cost approach. A market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. An income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations, including present value techniques, option-pricing models, and the excess earnings method. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
Embedded features identified within the Company’s agreements are bifurcated and measured at fair value at the end of each period on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Such recurring fair value measurements are presented in further detail in Note 15 — Fair Value Measurements. The Company also uses fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis when certain qualitative assessments of its assets indicate a potential impairment. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment of $9.3 million on certain assets. Refer to Note 5 — Property, Plant and Equipment for further detail.
Accounts Receivable From/Payable To Apache
The accounts receivable from or payable to Apache represent the net result of Altus Midstream’s monthly revenue, capital and operating expenditures, and other miscellaneous transactions to be settled with Apache as provided under the COMA. Generally, cash in this amount will be transferred to Apache in the month after the Company’s transactions are processed and the net results of operations are determined. However, from time to time, the Company may estimate and transfer the cash settlement amount in the month the transactions are processed, in order to minimize related-party working capital balances. See discussion and additional detail in Note 3 — Transactions with Affiliates.
Leases

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize separate right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities for most leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. Prior to adoption, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued transition guidance permitting an entity the option to not evaluate under ASU 2016-02 those existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases, as well as an option to apply the provisions of the new standard at its adoption date instead of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company elected both transitional practical expedients. Under these transition options, comparative reporting was not required, and the provisions of the standard were applied prospectively to leases in effect at the date of adoption.

As allowed under the standard, the Company also applied practical expedients to carry forward its historical assessments of whether existing agreements contain a lease, classification of existing lease agreements, and treatment of initial direct lease costs. The Company also elected to exclude short-term leases (those with terms of 12 months or less) from the balance sheet presentation and accounts for non-lease and lease components as a single lease component for all asset classes. Short-term lease expense was not material for the estimated future tax consequences attributablethird quarter and first nine months of 2019.



The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating or finance lease at the inception of each contract. If the contract is classified as an operating lease, Altus records an ROU asset and corresponding liability reflecting the total remaining present value of fixed lease payments over the expected term of the lease agreement. The expected term of the lease may include options to differences betweenextend or terminate the financial statements carrying amountslease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. In the normal course of existingbusiness, the Company enters into various lease agreements for real estate and equipment related to its midstream activities which are typically classified as operating leases under the provisions of the standard. ROU assets are reflected within “Deferred charges and liabilitiesother” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets andthe associated operating lease liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income inreflected within “Other current liabilities” and “Other noncurrent liabilities,” as applicable.

Operating lease expense associated with the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxROU assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income inon a straight-line basis over the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. To the extent a tax position does not meet these recognition and measurement thresholds, the associated benefit is not recognized in whole or in part andlease term. Lease expense is reflected as an unrecognized tax benefit. There were no unrecognized tax benefits ason the statement of September 30, 2018 or 2017. The Company recognizes accrued interestconsolidated operations commensurate with the leased activities and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. No amounts were accruednature of the services performed. Fixed operating lease expense was $0.2 million and $0.5 million for the payment of interest and penalties at September 30, 2018 or 2017. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its tax position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, respectively.

In addition, the Company recorded income tax expense of $349,053periodically enters into finance leases that are similar to those leases classified as capital leases under previous GAAP. The Company currently has 1 short-term finance lease, which is included in “Property, Plant and $887,410, respectively, primarily related to investment income earnedEquipment” on the Trust Account. Duringconsolidated balance sheet, and the associated finance lease liability is reflected within “Current debt.” The associated interest expense is reflected in the statement of consolidated operations within “Financing costs, net of capitalized interest.” Depreciation on the Company’s finance lease asset was $1.2 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,2019, respectively. Interest on the Company’s finance lease asset was $0.2 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

Actual lease payments during the period may also include variable lease components such as common area maintenance, usage-based sales taxes and rate differentials, or other similar costs that are not determinable at the inception of the lease. Variable lease payments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.


Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” The standard changes the impairment model for trade receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases, loans, and other financial assets measured at amortized cost. The ASU requires the use of a new forward-looking “expected loss” model compared to the current “incurred loss” model; resulting in accelerated recognition of credit losses. This update is effective for Altus beginning in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of finalizing its project plan for the implementation of the ASU and continues to evaluate and monitor standard setting activity. The Company does not believe the adoption and implementation of this ASU will have a material impact on its financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which changes the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, adding, and modifying certain disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its related disclosures.
2.    RECAPITALIZATION TRANSACTION
Background and Summary
On August 8, 2018, KAAC and its then wholly-owned subsidiary, Altus Midstream LP, entered into the Contribution Agreement with certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Apache, including the Altus Midstream Entities. The terms of the Contribution Agreement included that Altus Midstream would acquire from Apache, all of the outstanding equity interests in each of the Altus Midstream Entities and the Pipeline Options to acquire equity interests in certain third-party pipeline projects.
The Company consummated the Business Combination and certain other transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement on the Closing Date. On the Closing Date:
Altus Midstream issued Common Units to Apache, and the Company recorded income tax expenseissued to Apache an equivalent number of $256,345shares of a newly-created class of voting-only common stock (Class C Common Stock).
The Company issued to Apache (i) newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) warrants exercisable for shares of Class A Common Stock, and $426,694, respectively, primarily related(iii) the right to investment income earnedreceive additional shares of Class A Common Stock, based upon the achievement of certain price and operational thresholds.
The Company contributed $628.2 million in cash to Altus Midstream and in return, Altus Midstream issued to the Company a number of Common Units equal to the total number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date.
For further discussion of Apache’s right to receive additional shares of Class A Common Stock, and other outstanding equity instruments that may impact ownership interests and the limited partnership interests of Altus Midstream in future periods, please see Note 11 — Equity.

(1)Shares of Class B Common Stock, $0.0001 par value (Class B Common Stock), were purchased by the Sponsor upon the Company’s incorporation in December 2016. Class B Common Stock is identical to Class A Common Stock except that they automatically converted to Class A Common Stock at the time of the Business Combination.
(2)Pursuant to the terms of KAAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, public stockholders had the opportunity, in connection with the Business Combination, to redeem shares of Class A Common Stock. A total of 29,469,858 shares were redeemed for an aggregate amount of approximately $298.8 million.
(3)In connection with the Business Combination, the Sponsor agreed to forfeit shares of Class B Common Stock. As part of the consideration transferred in the Business Combination, 7,313,028 newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock were issued to Apache, equivalent to the number of shares of Class B Common Stock forfeited by the Sponsor. Additionally, the Sponsor forfeited a number of warrants originally issued simultaneously with the public offering.
(4)
The equity structure of the Altus Midstream Entities (the accounting acquirer) has been restated to reflect the number of shares of Altus Midstream Company (the accounting acquiree) issued in the recapitalization transaction. Please refer to the section below entitled “Basis of Presentation of Equity Structure” for further discussion.
Basis of Presentation of Equity Structure
As discussed in Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with Altus Midstream Company treated as the acquired company, and the Altus Midstream Entities treated as the acquirer, for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the equity structure in the consolidated financial statements is that of the Company restated for all periods presented.
In accordance with guidance applicable to these circumstances, the equity structure has been restated in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date, to reflect the number of shares issued to Apache in connection with the recapitalization transaction. The value allocated to the shares issued to Apache reflects the capital structure of the Altus Midstream Entities prior to the Business Combination, which solely comprised capital contributions from Apache. Accordingly, shares of common stock issued to Apache in exchange for its ownership interests in the Altus Midstream Entities are retroactively restated from May 26, 2016 (inception), proportionate to the capital contributions made by Apache to the Altus Midstream Entities up to the Closing Date.


3.    TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Revenues
The Company has contracted to provide services including gas gathering, compression, processing, transportation, and NGL transportation, pursuant to acreage dedications provided by Apache, comprising the entire Alpine High acreage. In accordance with the terms of these agreements, the Company receives prescribed fees based on the Trust Account. Untiltype and volume of product for which the services are provided. For all of the periods presented, the Company’s only customer was Apache, although Altus Midstream is pursuing contracts with third parties that could be accommodated by existing capacity.
Revenues generated under these agreements are presented on the Company’s statement of consolidated operations as “Midstream services revenue — affiliate.” Revenues earned that have not yet been invoiced to Apache are presented on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as “Revenue receivables.” Refer to Note 4 — Revenue Recognition for further discussion.
Cost and Expenses
The Company has no employees, and prior to the Business Combination, the Company completes an Initial Business Combination, its generalhad no banking or cash management facilities. As such, the Company has contracted with Apache to receive certain operational, maintenance, and administrativemanagement services. In accordance with the terms of these agreements, the Company incurred operations and maintenance expenses will be deferredof $2.2 million and $2.3 million for tax purposes.

Duringthe three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $7.1 million and $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, therespectively. The Company made an estimated federal income tax payment of $834,463 of which $323,000 related to 2017 and $511,463 to 2018. Upon filing the 2017 tax return, the final tax liability was $307,683 resulting in an overpayment of $15,317. The overpayment has been applied to 2018, resulting in a current tax liability of $357,823.

Operational Services Agreement
Prior to the enactmentBusiness Combination, Apache provided operations, maintenance and management services to Altus Midstream Operating, pursuant to a service agreement (the Services Agreement). In accordance with the terms of the Tax Reform Bill,Services Agreement, Apache received a fixed fee per month for its overhead and indirect costs incurred on behalf of Altus Midstream Operating. All costs incurred by Altus Midstream Operating were paid by Apache.
Construction, Operations and Maintenance Agreement
At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company measured its deferred taxentered into the COMA with Apache, which superseded the Services Agreement. Under the terms of the COMA, Apache provides certain services related to the design, development, construction, operation, management and maintenance of certain gathering, processing and other midstream assets, on behalf of the Company. In return, the Company will pay fees to Apache of: (i) $3.0 million for the period beginning on the execution of the COMA at the federal rate of 34%. The Tax Reform Bill reduced the federal tax rate to 21% resulting in there-measurementclosing of the deferred tax asset. BeginningBusiness Combination through December 31, 2019; (ii) $5.0 million for the period of January 1, 2018,2020 through December 31, 2020; (iii) $7.0 million for the period of January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021; and (iv) $9.0 million annually thereafter, as may be adjusted upwards based on actual incurred costs, until terminated. The annual fee was negotiated as part of the Business Combination to reimburse Apache for indirect costs incurred in performing administrative corporate functions for the Company, startedincluding services for information technology, risk management, corporate planning, accounting, cash management, and others.
In addition, Apache may be reimbursed for certain internal costs and third-party costs directly incurred in connection with its role as service provider under the COMA. Apache records costs directly associated with midstream activity, where substantially all the services are rendered for Altus Midstream, to unique midstream cost centers that are subsequently charged to Altus Midstream on a monthly basis.
Lease Agreement
Concurrent with the closing of the Business Combination, Altus Midstream entered into an operating lease agreement with Apache (the Lease Agreement) relating to the use of certain office buildings, warehouse and storage facilities located in Reeves County, Texas. Under the tax rateterms of 21%the Lease Agreement, Altus Midstream shall pay to calculateApache on a monthly basis the sum of (i) a base rental charge of $44,500 and (ii) an amount based on Apache’s estimate of the annual costs it expects to incur in connection with the ownership, operation, repair, and/or maintenance of the facilities. The Company incurred total expenses of $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, in relation to the Lease Agreement, which are included within operations and maintenance expenses. Unpaid amounts accrue interest until settled. The initial term of the


Lease Agreement is for four years and may be extended by Altus Midstream for 3 additional, consecutive periods of twenty-four months.
Capitalized Interest

Prior to the Business Combination, the Company’s operations were funded entirely by contributions from Apache. Accordingly, Apache allocated a portion of interest on its corporate debt in determining capitalized interest associated with the development of Altus Midstream Operating. Commensurate with Apache’s calculation, interest is capitalized as part of the historical cost of developing and constructing assets. Significant midstream development assets that have not commenced operations qualify for interest capitalization. The associated capitalized interest was determined by multiplying Apache’s weighted-average borrowing cost of debt by the average amount of any federal income tax due on taxable income.

qualifying midstream assets. The Company’s federal statutory income tax rate is 21%amount of interest allocated and the effective tax ratecapitalized was $2.5 million and $7.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. Following the closing of the Business Combination, capitalized interest is determined based on interest expense incurred by Altus Midstream. Refer to Note 6 — Debt and Financing Costs for further information.

The Company currently recognizes revenue pursuant to separate midstream service agreements entered into with Apache for the midstream services presented above. These midstream service agreements have no minimum volume commitments or firm transportation commitments, instead they are underpinned by acreage dedications covering Alpine High. Pursuant to these agreements, Altus Midstream is obligated to perform services on all volumes produced from the dedicated acreage, so long as Apache has the right to market the production. In exchange for the above services and in accordance with the terms of the midstream service agreements, the Company charges a fixed fee on a per-unit basis. Altus Midstream does not own or take title to the volumes that it handles.
These performance obligations are satisfied over time as Apache simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services performed. Service revenues are recognized when the right to invoice has been met, since the amount that the Company has the right to invoice (based upon the fixed fee and throughput volumes) corresponds directly with the value received by Apache.
Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, all accounts receivable from Apache (including revenue receivables) on or prior to September 30, 2018, are for the account of Apache. No cash settlement of such balances was -58%contemplated prior to September 30, 2018 and 72%as such, revenue receivables generated prior to this date were treated as a reduction to additional paid-in capital within equity. Following the Business Combination, service revenue invoices are provided to Apache on a monthly basis, pursuant to the terms of the COMA. Amounts owing to Apache under the terms of the COMA are reduced by the amounts of these invoices. Net cash settlement is performed on a monthly basis. The Company recognized services revenue earned but not yet invoiced to Apache of $11.7 million as of September 30, 2019.

The cost of property classified as “Construction in progress” is excluded from capitalized costs being depreciated. These amounts represent property that is not yet available to be placed into productive service as of the respective balance sheet date.

During the third quarter of 2019, the Company elected to cancel construction on a compressor station given the deferral of previous processing expansion plans. Certain of the components were then marketed by the Company, and it was determined that these components met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Accordingly, management reclassified these components to current assets and they were initially measured at fair value less costs to sell. The fair value was determined using the market approach and Level 1 inputs. As a result, the assets were written down to their estimated fair value of $18.1 million, and the Company recorded an impairment of $9.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. The impairment is recorded within “Impairments” on the Company’s statement of consolidated operations. Subsequent to September 30, 2019, the Company received cash proceeds of approximately $13 million in relation to the sale of certain of the assets classified as held for sale.

Other components of the compressor station totaling $8.7 million will be stored and used as inventory by the Company and are therefore recorded within inventory on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. These components will be recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value at each balance sheet date.
6.    DEBT AND FINANCING COSTS
In November 2018, Altus Midstream entered into a revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes that matures in November 2023 (subject to Altus Midstream’s 2, one year extension options). The agreement for this revolving credit facility, as amended (the Amended Credit Agreement), respectively,provides aggregate commitments from a syndicate of banks of $650.0 million until the consolidated net income of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries, as adjusted pursuant to the agreement (EBITDA), for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter equals or exceeds $175.0 million on an annualized basis (such period, the Initial Period). Upon achieving such EBITDA, the Initial Period ends and the aggregate commitments increase to $800.0 million. All aggregate commitments include a letter of credit subfacility of up to $100.0 million and a swingline loan subfacility of up to $100.0 million. After the Initial Period, Altus Midstream may increase commitments up to an aggregate $1.5 billion by adding new lenders or obtaining the consent of any increasing existing lenders. As of September 30, 2019, total outstanding borrowings were $235.0 million and 0 letters of credit were outstanding under this facility. There were 0 outstanding borrowings or letters of credit as of December 31, 2018.
Altus Midstream’s revolving credit facility is unsecured and is not guaranteed by the Company, Apache, or any of their respective subsidiaries.


At Altus Midstream’s option, the interest rate per annum for borrowings under this facility is either a base rate, as defined, plus a margin, or the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus a margin; in each case, the margin during the Initial Period is 0.05 percent greater than the margin after the Initial Period. Altus Midstream also pays quarterly a facility fee at a rate per annum on total commitments. The margins and the facility fee vary based upon (i) the Leverage Ratio until Altus Midstream has a senior long-term debt rating and (ii) such senior long-term debt rating once it exists. The Leverage Ratio is the ratio of (1) the consolidated indebtedness of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries to (2) EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries for the 12-month period ending immediately before the determination date. At September 30, 2019, the base rate margin was 0.10 percent, the LIBOR margin was 1.10 percent, and the facility fee was 0.20 percent. In addition, a commission is payable quarterly to the lenders on the face amount of each outstanding letter of credit at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR margin then in effect. Customary letter of credit fronting fees and other charges are payable to issuing banks.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants that may limit the ability of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or guaranty indebtedness, sell assets, make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, enter into mergers, make certain payments and distributions, incur liens on certain property securing indebtedness, and engage in certain other transactions without the prior consent of the lenders. Altus Midstream also is subject to a financial covenant under the Amended Credit Agreement, which requires it to maintain one of the following financial ratios:
during the Initial Period, a debt-to-capital ratio of not greater than 30.0 percent at the end of any fiscal quarter, determined by reference to (i) the consolidated indebtedness of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries to (ii) (A) the consolidated partners’ equity of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries plus (B) the consolidated indebtedness of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries; and

beginning with the quarter ending on the earlier of (i) March 31, 2020 or (ii) the last day of the fiscal quarter during which the Initial Period ends, a Leverage Ratio not exceeding 5.00:1.00 at the end of any fiscal quarter, except that during the period of up to one year following a qualified acquisition, the Leverage Ratio cannot exceed 5.50:1.00 at the end of any fiscal quarter.

Accounting for the Preferred Units
Classification
The Preferred Units are accounted for on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a redeemable noncontrolling interest classified as temporary equity based on the terms of the Preferred Units, including the redemption rights with respect thereto.
Initial Measurement
The net transaction price as shown below was based on the negotiated transaction price, less issue discounts and transaction costs.

Issue discount (3,675)
Transaction costs to other third parties (10,076)
Transaction price, net $611,249
Certain redemption features embedded within the terms of the Preferred Units require bifurcation and measurement at fair value. As such, the net transaction price shown in the table above was allocated to make availablethe preferred redeemable noncontrolling interest and the embedded features according to the associated initial fair value measurements as follows:

(1)See Note 15 — Fair Value Measurements for further discussion on the nature and recognition of the embedded derivative.
Subsequent Measurement
The Company applies a two-step approach to subsequently measure the redeemable noncontrolling interest related to the Preferred Units, by first allocating a portion of the net income of Altus Midstream in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter, a senior unsecured revolving credit facility inAmended LPA described above.
After consideration of the foregoing, the Company records an aggregate principaladditional adjustment to the carrying value of the Preferred Unit redeemable noncontrolling interest at each period end, if applicable. The amount of upsuch adjustment is determined based upon the accreted value method to $800,000,000, including a letterreflect the passage of credit subfacility intime until the Preferred Units are exchangeable at the option of the holder. Pursuant to this method, the net transaction price is accreted using the effective interest method, to the Redemption Price calculated at the seventh anniversary of Closing. The total adjustment is limited to an aggregateamount such that the carrying amount of upthe Preferred Unit redeemable noncontrolling interest at each period end is equal to $100,000,000 (the “revolving credit facility”). The obligationsthe greater of (a)(i) the carrying amount of the Commitment Parties underPreferred Units determined in accordance with ASC 810, plus (ii) the Debt Commitment Letter are conditioned upon, among other things,fair value of the executionembedded derivative liability or (b) the accreted value of definitive documentationthe net transaction price.

13. INCOME TAXES
Altus Midstream Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and Texas Margin tax. At September 30, 2019, Altus Midstream Company had a net deferred tax asset of $68.6 million, primarily related to its net operating loss carryforward and its investment in Altus Midstream LP. Altus Midstream LP is a partnership for federal income tax purposes and passes through its taxable income to its partners. Thus, Altus Midstream LP does not record a federal income tax provision. Altus Midstream LP is subject to the Texas Margin tax and as such, records a state income tax provision. At September 30, 2019, Altus Midstream LP had a net deferred state income tax liability of $3.1 million.
On June 12, 2019, Altus Midstream issued and sold the Preferred Units in a private offering that admitted additional limited partners with separate rights for the revolving credit facilityPreferred Unit holders. The Preferred Units are accounted for on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as a redeemable noncontrolling interest classified as temporary equity. For financial statement reporting purposes, the Company applies a two-step approach to subsequent measurement of the Preferred Units. Under this approach, net income is first allocated to the Preferred Unit holders in accordance with the terms of the Amended LPA. An additional adjustment may be made to increase the carrying amount after the attribution of net income, as further described in Note 12 — Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. Both the allocation of net income and any subsequent adjustment based upon accretion of the net transaction price (if applicable) reflect income that will be taxable to the Preferred Unit holders. Accordingly, Altus Midstream Company’s federal income tax provision reflects this income allocation as a reduction in the Company’s effective tax rate.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s effective income tax rate was primarily impacted by the net loss attributable to Apache limited partner, subsequent measurement of the Preferred Units as described above, and the closingimpact of state income taxes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company’s effective income tax rate was primarily impacted by the release of the Altus Business Combination. valuation allowance.

The Company expectsaccounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the revolving credit facilityfinancial statements. Each quarter, the Company assesses the recognition amount and, as a result, may increase (expense) or reduce (benefit) the amount of interest and penalties. Interest and penalties are recorded as a component of income tax expense. The contributor of Altus Midstream’s operating assets, Apache, is currently under IRS audit for the 2014-2017 tax years as part of its normal course of business.



14.    NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Class C Common Stock is excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding immediately following the Closing Date for the calculation of basic net income per share, as holders of Class C Common Stock are not entitled to initially have availability of up to $450,000,000, which will increase to up to $800,000,000 upon the achievement of certain performance and minimum capital thresholds. any dividends or liquidating distributions.
The Company also expectsuses the credit agreement will have customary terms, including affirmative“if-converted method” to determine the potential dilutive effect of (i) exchanges of outstanding Common Units of Altus Midstream and negative covenants and events of default.

On November 6, 2018, the Company held a special meeting in lieucorresponding shares of its 2018 annual meeting of stockholders to consider, among other things, a proposal to approveoutstanding Class C Common Stock (ii) earn-out consideration and adopt the Contribution Agreement and the Altus Business Combination. At the special meeting, holders of a majority(iii) assumed exchange of the outstanding Preferred Units of Altus Midstream for shares of Class A Common Stock.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of: cash and cash equivalents; revenue receivables; accounts receivable from, or payable to, Apache and an embedded derivative liability related to the issuance of Preferred Units (as further described above). This embedded derivative liability is recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The carrying amount of Altus Midstream’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value because the interest rate is variable and reflective of market rates. The carrying amounts reported on the consolidated balance sheet for the Company’s remaining financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 or September 30, 2018.
The Company bifurcated and recognized the embedded derivative associated with the special meeting andPreferred Units related to the Altus Business Combinationexchange option provided to the Preferred Unit holders under the terms of the Amended LPA. The valuation of the embedded derivative (using an income approach) was 29,469,858. Please seebased on a range of factors including: expected future interest rates using the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 6, 2018 for additional information on the matters voted upon and approved at the special meeting byBlack-Karasinski model; the Company’s stockholders.

imputed interest rate; the timing of periodic cash distributions and dividend yields of the Preferred Units. The embedded derivative liability had an initial fair value of $94.5 million at Closing. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an unrealized loss related to this derivative liability totaling $3.8 million, which is recorded in “unrealized derivative instrument loss” in the statement of consolidated operations.

The Company has additional embedded derivatives in the Preferred Units related to the exchange option and redemption features that are accounted for separately from the Preferred Units. Level 3 valuation of the embedded derivatives are based on a range of factors including the likelihood of the event occurring, and these factors are assessed quarterly. There was no value associated with these additional identified embedded derivatives for any applicable period presented.

Overview
Altus Midstream Company, through our ownership interest in Altus Midstream, owns gas gathering, processing and transmission assets in the Permian Basin of West Texas, anchored by midstream service agreements to service Apache Corporation’s (Apache) production from its Alpine High resource play (Alpine High). Additionally, we own, or “we” referhave options to Kayne Anderson Acquisition Corp. The following discussionown, equity interests in a total of five Permian Basin pipelines (the Pipeline Options), four of which go to various points along the Texas Gulf Coast, providing the Company with additional access to fully integrated, wellhead-to-water connectivity. Our operations comprise one reportable segment.
We have no independent operations or material assets outside our ownership interest in Altus Midstream, which we report on a consolidated basis. As of September 30, 2019, Altus Midstream’s assets included approximately 178 miles of in-service natural gas gathering pipelines, approximately 55 miles of residue gas pipelines with four market connections, and analysisapproximately 38 miles of NGL pipelines.

Corporate History
We are a blank check companywere originally incorporated on December 12, 2016 as ain Delaware corporation and formedunder the name Kayne Anderson Acquisition Corp. (KAAC), for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”).businesses. We intend to focuscompleted our search for a target businessinitial public offering in the energy industry. Forsecond quarter of 2017, after which our purposes, we defineinitial securities began trading on the energy industry as companies that own and operate assets that are used in or provided services to the energy sector, including, but not limited to, assets used in exploring, developing, producing, transporting, storing, gathering, processing, fractionating, refining, distributing or marketing of natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil or refined products. We intend to effectuate our Initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our public offering (the “Public Offering”) and the sale of warrants in a private placement that occurred simultaneously with the Public Offering (the “Private Placement Warrants”), our capital stock, debt or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

The issuance of additional shares of our stock in a business combination:

NASDAQ Global Select Market.

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of shares of Class A common stock on a greater thanone-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B common stock;

may subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;

could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock and/or warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities, it could result in:

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an Initial Business Combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;

using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;

limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;

limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and

other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

We expect to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our business combination plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete our Initial Business Combination will be successful.

Recent Developments

On August 8, 2018, we,KAAC and our then wholly-owned subsidiary, Altus Midstream LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and our wholly owned subsidiary (“Altus Midstream”), entered into a contribution agreement (the Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement” andAgreement) with certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Apache, including the business combination contemplated thereby, the “Altus Business Combination”) with ApacheAltus Midstream LLC, aEntities. The Altus Midstream Entities comprise four Delaware limited liability company (the “Apache Contributor”)partnerships (collectively, Altus Midstream Operating) and wholly owned subsidiary of Apache Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Apache”), Alpine High Gathering LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Alpine High Gathering”), Alpine High Pipeline LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Alpine High Pipeline”), Alpine High Processing LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Alpine High Processing”), Alpine High NGL Pipeline LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Alpine High NGL”), and Alpine Hightheir general partner (Altus Midstream Subsidiary GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“company), formed by Apache between May 2016 and January 2017 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, and operating midstream oil and gas assets in Alpine High GP”High.

On November 9, 2018 (the Closing Date) and together with Alpine High Gathering, Alpine High Pipeline, Alpine High Processing and Alpine High NGL, the “Alpine High Entities”), pursuant to whichthe terms of that certain Contribution Agreement, we acquired from Apache the entire equity interests of the Altus Midstream and/or its subsidiaries will acquire from the Apache Contributor: (i) 100% of the equity interests in each of the Alpine High Entities and (ii) options, currently held by the Apache Contributor,Pipeline Options to acquire equity interests in certainfive separate third-party pipelines thatpipeline projects. We refer to the acquisition of the entities and the Pipeline Options as the Business Combination. In exchange, the consideration provided to Apache included economic voting and non-economic voting shares in Altus Midstream Company and common partnership units representing limited partner interests in Altus Midstream (Common Units). At the time of the Business Combination, we changed our name from Kayne Anderson Acquisition Corp. to Altus Midstream Company.
Presentation of Financial and Operating Information
While Altus Midstream Company (formerly KAAC) was the surviving legal entity, the Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, Altus Midstream Company was treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. As a result, the historical operations of Altus Midstream Operating are expecteddeemed to be placed into servicethose of the Company. Thus, the financial statements and related information included in 2019this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect (i) the historical operating results of Altus Midstream Operating prior to the Closing Date, (ii) the net assets of Altus Midstream Operating at their historical cost, (iii) the consolidated results of Altus and 2020, which include (A)Altus Midstream Operating after the Closing Date, and (iv) Altus’ equity structure for all periods presented.


Altus Midstream Operational Assessment
We use a variety of financial and operational metrics to assess the performance of our operations and growth compared to expected plan estimates. These metrics include:
Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below);
Throughput volumes and associated revenues; and
Costs and expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests before financing costs (net of capitalized interest), interest income, income taxes, depreciation, and accretion and adjust such items, as applicable, from income from our equity method interests. We also exclude (when applicable) impairments, unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, and other items affecting comparability of results to peers. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful for evaluating our operating performance and comparing results of our operations from period-to-period and against peers without regard to financing or capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an optionalternative to, acquire up to a 15% equity interest (asor more meaningful than, net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests or any other measure determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance, such as our cost of capital and tax structure, as well as pursuantthe historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Additionally, our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to a supplemental option, an additional 1% equity interest)other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA is not defined in the Gulf Coast Express pipeline, (B) an option to acquire up to a 15% equity interest in the EPIC Crude pipeline, (C) an option to acquire a 50% equity interest in the Salt Creek NGL pipeline, and (D) an option to acquire up to a 33% equity interest in the Shin Oak pipeline (collectively, the “Options”).

On November 6, 2018,GAAP

The GAAP measure used by the Company heldthat is most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a special meeting in lieu of its 2018 annual meeting of stockholders to consider, among other things, a proposal to approve and adopt the Contribution Agreement and the Altus Business Combination. At the special meeting, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock entitled to vote and cast on such proposal approved and adopted the Contribution Agreement and the Altus Business Combination. The number of sharessubstitute for analysis of the Company’s Class A Common Stock presentedresults as reported under GAAP. Our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry, thereby diminishing its utility.
Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures
Our management compensates for redemptionthe limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measure, understanding the differences between Adjusted EBITDA as compared to net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests, and incorporating this knowledge into its decision-making processes. Our management believes that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that the Company uses in connectionevaluating operating results.

Our operations commenced in the second quarter of 2017 and since that time, our only customer has been Apache, although Altus Midstream is pursuing contracts with third-parties that could be accommodated by existing capacity. Our midstream service agreements with Apache contain no minimum volume commitments and as such, our future results of operations may be materially impacted, depending on Apache’s production volumes from Alpine High and our ability to contract third-party business. Refer to Part I, Item 1A — Risk Factors of the special meetingCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, and Part I, Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for further discussion.

All midstream services revenues were generated through our fee-based midstream service agreements with Apache. These services include gas gathering, processing, and transmission. The revenue earned from these services is directly related to the volume of natural gas and NGLs that flow through our systems, and we do not take ownership of the natural gas or NGLs handled for Apache.
Three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to three months ended September 30, 2018
Midstream services revenue from affiliate increased by $8.6 million to $34.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $25.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by higher throughput of rich natural gas volumes, which increased revenues by approximately $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Lean gas throughput volumes increased throughout the quarter, as Apache ramped up production following deferral of a portion of its gas volumes at Alpine High in April 2019 in response to price weakness in the region.
Nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2018
Midstream services revenue from affiliate increased by $41.9 million to $92.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $50.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Approximately $28.7 million of the increase was primarily driven by higher throughput volumes of natural gas as Apache increased production from Alpine High. The volume increase was partially limited by Apache’s deferral of a portion of its gas volumes at Alpine High beginning April 2019, in response to price weakness in the region. These volumes returned incrementally throughout the third quarter of 2019. A further $11.4 million is attributable to changes in rates pursuant to the terms of new midstream service agreements with Apache, which became effective during 2018.

Results of

Operations and Known Trends or Future Events

We have neither engagedmaintenance

Operations and maintenance expenses decreased by $3.5 million to $13.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $16.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily driven by a decrease in any operations nor generated any operating revenue to date. Our only activities since inception relate to our formation, the Public Offering which was consummated on April 4, 2017employee related costs and efforts directed toward locating a suitable Initial Business Combination. We will not generate any operating revenue until after completion of an Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. Prior to such time, we will generatenon-operating income in form of interest income on cashlower repair and cash equivalents. We incur increasedmaintenance expenses as a result of being atransitioning to our centralized Diamond cryogenic complex from mechanical refrigeration units.
General and administrative expense
General and administrative (G&A) expense increased by $1.3 million to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily driven by higher expenses incurred related to severance costs, insurance, legal, audit and other public company (forrequirements. These increases were partially offset by lower employee related costs charged to Altus by Apache under the terms of the COMA.
Depreciation and accretion expense
Depreciation and accretion expense increased by $6.2 million to $11.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $5.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The $6.2 million increase represents the timing of placing assets into service following construction activity over the historical period. Depreciation and accretion expense is expected to increase over the next year as a result of the cryogenic plants being placed into service in the second half of 2019.
Impairments
The impairment charge of $9.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 relates to the cancellation of construction on a previously planned compressor station. The Company expects to sell certain of the underlying components in the fourth quarter of 2019. Refer to Note 5 — Property, Plant and Equipment within Part I, Item 1 — Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
No impairments were recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2018.
Taxes other than income
The increase in taxes other than income was driven by ad valorem taxes, which increased by $2.0 million to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The $2.0 million increase represents the higher tax assessment in the current year related to completion of construction of certain assets.
Nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to nine months ended September 30, 2018
Operations and maintenance
Operations and maintenance expenses increased by $4.7 million to $43.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $38.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily driven by higher operating costs including contract labor, equipment rentals and supplies as a result of increased throughput volumes.
General and administrative expense
G&A expense increased by $3.2 million to $8.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily driven by higher expenses incurred related to severance costs, insurance, legal, financial reportingaudit and auditing compliance),other public filing requirements. These increases were partially offset by lower employee related costs charged to Altus by Apache under the terms of the COMA.
Depreciation and accretion expense
Depreciation and accretion expense increased by $14.1 million to $28.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $14.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase represents the timing of placing assets into service following construction activity over the historical period. Depreciation and accretion expense is expected to increase over the next year as a result of the cryogenic plants being placed into service in the second half of 2019.



Impairments
The impairment charge of $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 relates to the cancellation of construction on a previously planned compressor station.

Refer to Note 5 — Property, Plant and Equipment within Part I, Item 1 — Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Taxes other than income
The increase in taxes other than income was driven by ad valorem taxes, which increased by $3.1 million to $9.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The $3.1 million increase represents the higher tax assessment in the current year related to completion of construction of certain assets.

(1)Prior to the Business Combination, the Company’s operations were funded entirely by contributions from Apache. Accordingly, Apache allocated a portion of interest on its corporate debt in determining capitalized interest associated with the development of Alpine High infrastructure.
Unrealized derivative instrument loss
During the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2019, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $3.8 million in relation to an embedded feature identified upon the issuance and sale of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the Preferred Units) in the second quarter of 2019. The associated derivative is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The fair value of the embedded derivative is determined (using an income approach) by a range of factors including: expected future interest rates using the Black-Karasinski model; the Company’s imputed interest rate; the timing of periodic cash distributions and dividend yields of the Preferred Units. Refer to Note 12 — Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units within Part I, Item 1 — Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.
Income from equity method interests
In the third quarter of 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of a 33 percent equity interest in Breviloba, LLC which owns the Shin Oak NGL pipeline project (Shin Oak). Income from equity method interests was positively impacted as a result of this acquisition, as well as expensesfrom its proportionate share of net income generated by Gulf Coast Express Pipeline LLC, in which the Company has a 16 percent interest. Gulf Coast Express Pipeline LLC operates the Gulf Coast Express Pipeline Project (GCX) which ramped-up throughput volumes during the period, as we conduct due diligencethe project moved toward full service at the end of September 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had exercised four of its five Pipeline Options.





Financing costs, net of capitalized interest
For the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2019, financing costs incurred, net of capitalized interest were $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively. These costs relate to interest, which is not capitalized, on prospective business combination candidates.

finance lease obligations and amortization of fees on the revolving credit facility entered into by Altus Midstream in November 2018.

Provision for Income Taxes
Altus Midstream Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and Texas Margin tax. At September 30, 2019, Altus Midstream Company had a net deferred tax asset of $68.6 million, primarily related to its net operating loss carryforward and its investment in Altus Midstream LP. Altus Midstream LP is a partnership for federal income tax purposes and passes through its taxable income to its partners. Thus, Altus Midstream LP does not record a federal income tax provision. Altus Midstream LP is subject to the Texas Margin tax and as such, records a state income tax provision. At September 30, 2019, Altus Midstream LP had a net deferred state income tax liability of $3.1 million.

On June 12, 2019, Altus Midstream issued and sold the Preferred Units in a private offering that admitted additional limited partners with separate rights for the Preferred Unit holders. The Preferred Units are accounted for on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as a redeemable noncontrolling interest classified as temporary equity. For financial statement reporting purposes, the Company applies a two-step approach to subsequent measurement of the Preferred Units. Under this approach, net income is first allocated to the Preferred Unit holders in accordance with the terms of the Amended LPA. An additional adjustment may be made to increase the carrying amount after the attribution of net income, as further described in Note 12 — Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units. Both the allocation of net income and any subsequent adjustment based upon accretion of the net transaction price (if applicable) reflect income that will be taxable to the Preferred Unit holders. Accordingly, Altus Midstream Company’s federal income tax provision reflects this income allocation as a reduction in the Company’s effective tax rate.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company’s effective income tax rate was primarily impacted by the net loss attributable to Apache limited partner, subsequent measurement of the Preferred Units as described above, and the impact of state income taxes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we hadthe Company’s effective income tax rate was primarily impacted by the release of the valuation allowance.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” which prescribes a minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements. Each quarter, the Company assesses the recognition amount and, as a result, may increase (expense) or reduce (benefit) the amount of interest and penalties. Interest and penalties are recorded as a component of income tax expense. The contributor of Altus Midstream’s operating assets, Apache, is currently under IRS audit for the 2014-2017 tax years as part of its normal course of business.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA is primarily due to an $8.6 million increase in midstream services revenue from affiliate coupled with a $3.5 million decrease in operations and maintenance expenses and a $2.7 million increase in the Company’s proportionate share of investment income from the Trust Account of $1,712,170 and $4,362,433, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, the Company’s primary sources of capital were proceeds from the issuance of the Preferred Units, borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and cash generated from operations. While certain of the Pipeline Options are being constructed, ongoing sources of liquidity are expected to be cash generated from operations, which is anticipated to increase over time, and revolving credit facility borrowing capacity.

Based on our current financial plan and related assumptions, we paid $320,050believe our operations and capital program for midstream operations will begin to generate operating cash flows in excess of franchise taxesinvestment expenditures by year-end 2020. We anticipate using our cash position, revolving credit facility borrowing capacity, and $834,463 estimated federal income tax with fundsreinvested operating cash flow to fund our near-term capital requirements.
Altus Midstream Capital Requirements
As part of the Business Combination, we obtained the right, but not the obligation, to exercise five Pipeline Options. In the third quarter of 2019, we exercised our fourth Pipeline Option to acquire an approximate 33 percent ownership interest in Shin Oak for approximately $442 million. The project, which is already in service, is expected to have ultimate capacity of approximately 550 MBbl/d and transports NGLs primarily from the Permian Basin to Mont Belvieu, Texas. Shin Oak is owned by Breviloba, LLC (Breviloba) and is operated by Enterprise Products Operating LLC (Enterprise).
As a result, at September 30, 2019, we held the following interests in third-party operated pipelines:
A 33.0 percent interest in Shin Oak.
A 26.7 percent interest in the Trust Account. Permian Highway Pipeline Project (PHP). PHP is a long-haul pipeline under construction that is expected to have approximately 2.1 Bcf/d of natural gas transportation capacity. The pipeline will transport natural gas from the Waha area in northern Pecos County, Texas, to the Katy, Texas area, with connections to Texas Gulf Coast and other markets. PHP is anticipated to be in service in early 2021.
A 16.0 percent interest in GCX, which delivers natural gas from the Waha area in West Texas to Agua Dulce near the Texas Gulf Coast. Full commercial service began at the end of September 2019 and the total capacity of 2.0 Bcf/d is fully subscribed under long-term contracts.
A 15.0 percent interest in the EPIC Crude Oil Pipeline Project (EPIC). EPIC is currently under construction and is anticipated to be in service in January 2020. Upon completion, the pipeline is anticipated to have initial capacity of 590 MBbl/d and will transport crude oil from Orla, Texas to the Port of Corpus Christi, Texas.
The Company’s remaining outstanding Pipeline Option can be exercised at any time up until January 31, 2020. With Shin Oak and GCX already in service, we anticipate that the Company’s existing capital resources (discussed below) will be sufficient to fund the Company’s obligations, primarily related to the remaining construction periods of PHP and EPIC.
With construction on all three planned cryogenic processing plants now complete, the Company’s future growth capital requirements in relation to its gathering and processing assets may be directed toward the addition of further cryogenic processing capacity over the next several years, commensurate with throughput increases from Alpine High production and potential third-party volumes.

Available credit facilities
In November 2018, Altus Midstream entered into a revolving credit facility for general corporate purposes that matures in November 2023 (subject to Altus Midstream’s two, one-year extension options). The agreement for this revolving credit facility, as amended (the Amended Credit Agreement), provides aggregate commitments from a syndicate of banks of $650.0 million until the extent that we require additional funds to operate our business priorconsolidated net income of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries, as adjusted pursuant to the consummationagreement (EBITDA), for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter equals or exceeds $175.0 million on an annualized basis (such period, the Initial Period). Upon achieving such EBITDA, the Initial Period ends and aggregate commitments increase to $800.0 million. All aggregate commitments include a letter of credit subfacility of up to $100.0 million and a swingline loan subfacility of up to $100.0 million. After the Initial Period, Altus Midstream may increase commitments up to an Initial Business Combination, our Sponsoraggregate $1.5 billion by adding new lenders or an affiliateobtaining the consent of our Sponsorany increasing existing lenders. As of September 30, 2019, total outstanding borrowings were $235.0 million and no letters of credit were outstanding under this facility. There were no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit as of December 31, 2018.


Altus Midstream’s revolving credit facility is unsecured and is not guaranteed by the Company, Apache, or any of their respective subsidiaries.
At Altus Midstream’s option, the interest rate per annum for borrowings under its 2018 amended credit facility is either a base rate, as defined, plus a margin, or the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus a margin. Altus Midstream also pays quarterly a facility fee at a per annum rate on total commitments. The margins and the facility fee vary based upon (i) the Leverage Ratio until Altus Midstream has a senior long-term debt rating and (ii) such senior long-term debt rating once it exists. The Leverage Ratio is the ratio of (1) the consolidated indebtedness of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries to (2) EBITDA (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries for the 12-month period ending immediately before the determination date. At September 30, 2019, the base rate margin was 0.10 percent, the LIBOR margin was 1.10 percent, and the facility fee was 0.20 percent. A commission is payable quarterly to lenders on the face amount of each outstanding letter of credit at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR margin then in effect. Customary letter of credit fronting fees and other charges are payable to issuing banks.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants that may limit the ability of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness or guaranty indebtedness, sell assets, make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, enter into mergers, make certain of our officerspayments and directors may, but are not obligated to loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our Initial Business Combination, we would repay such additional loaned amounts outdistributions, incur liens on certain property securing indebtedness, and engage in certain other transactions without the prior consent of the proceedslenders. Altus Midstream also is subject to a financial covenant under the Amended Credit Agreement, which requires it to maintain one of the Trust Account releasedfollowing financial ratios:
during the Initial Period, a debt-to-capital ratio of not greater than 30.0 percent at the end of any fiscal quarter, determined by reference to us. In(i) the consolidated indebtedness of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries to (ii) (A) the consolidated partners’ equity of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries plus (B) the consolidated indebtedness of Altus Midstream and its restricted subsidiaries; and
beginning with the quarter ending on the earlier of (i) March 31, 2020 or (ii) the last day of the fiscal quarter during which the Initial Period ends, a Leverage Ratio not exceeding 5.00:1.00 at the end of any fiscal quarter, except that during the period of up to one year following a qualified acquisition, the Leverage Ratio cannot exceed 5.50:1.00 at the end of any fiscal quarter.
There are no clauses in the Amended Credit Agreement that permit the lenders to accelerate payments or refuse to lend based on unspecified material adverse changes. The Amended Credit Agreement has no drawdown restrictions or prepayment obligations in the event that our Initial Business Combinationof a decline in credit ratings. However, it does not close, we may use a portionallow the lenders to accelerate payment maturity and terminate lending and issuance commitments for nonpayment and other breaches, and if Altus Midstream or any of its restricted subsidiaries defaults on other indebtedness in excess of the working capital held outsidestated threshold, is insolvent, or has any unpaid, non-appealable judgment against it for payment of money in excess of the Trust Accountstated threshold. Lenders may also accelerate payment maturity and terminate lending and issuance commitments if Altus Midstream undergoes a specified change in control or has specified pension plan liabilities in excess of the stated threshold. Altus Midstream was in compliance with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2019.
There is no assurance that the financial condition of banks with lending commitments to repay such loaned amounts, but no proceedsAltus Midstream will not deteriorate. We closely monitor the ratings of the banks in our bank group. Having a large bank group allows the Company to mitigate the potential impact of any bank’s failure to honor its lending commitment.
Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units
On June 12, 2019, Altus Midstream issued and sold the Preferred Units in a private offering exempt from our Trust Account would be usedthe registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Closing). The Closing occurred pursuant to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000a Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement among Altus Midstream, the Company, and the purchasers party thereto, dated as of such loans, including loans made under the August 2018 agreement may be convertible into warrants,May 8, 2019. A total of 625,000 Preferred Units were sold at a price of $1.50$1,000 per warrant,Preferred Unit, for an aggregate issue price of $625.0 million. Altus Midstream received approximately $611.2 million in cash proceeds from the sale after deducting transaction costs and discounts to certain purchasers. These proceeds were used to fund ongoing capital contributions related to Altus’ equity interests in the Pipeline Options and repayment of outstanding principal on the revolving credit facility (discussed above).


At the Closing, the partners of Altus Midstream entered into the Amended LPA. The Amended LPA provides the terms of the Preferred Units, including the distribution rate, redemption rights, and rights to exchange the Preferred Units for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, as well as rights of holders of the Preferred Units to approve certain partnership business, financial, and governance-related matters. The Preferred Units have a perpetual term, unless redeemed or exchanged as described below. Pursuant to the Amended LPA:
The Preferred Units entitle the holders thereof to receive quarterly distributions at a rate of 7 percent per annum, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The rate increases to 10 percent per annum after the fifth anniversary of Closing and upon the occurrence of specified events. For any quarter ending on or prior to December 31, 2020, Altus Midstream may pay distributions in-kind.
The Preferred Units are redeemable at Altus Midstream’s option at any time in cash at a redemption price (the Redemption Price) equal to (a) the greater of (i) an 11.5 percent internal rate of return (increasing to 13.75 percent after the fifth anniversary of Closing), and (ii) a 1.3x multiple of invested capital plus (b) if applicable, the value of any accrued and unpaid distributions. The Preferred Units will be redeemable at the holder’s option upon a change of control or liquidation of Altus Midstream and certain other events, including certain asset dispositions. Subject to compliance with minimum ownership requirements and redemption restrictions of the Amended LPA, Apache’s election to cause its Common Units in Altus Midstream to be redeemed for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock or cash (as further discussed in Note 11 — Equity) would not be a change of control.
The Preferred Units will be exchangeable for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at the option of the lender. The warrants wouldPreferred Unit holders after the seventh anniversary of Closing or upon the occurrence of specified events. Each Preferred Unit will be identicalexchangeable for a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Private Placement Warrants, including asRedemption Price divided by the volume-weighted average trading price of the Class A Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the second trading day prior to the exercise price, exercisabilityapplicable exchange date, less a 6 percent discount.

On October 1, 2018, any other units that rank junior to the Preferred Units with respect to distributions or distributions upon liquidation. 

Altus Midstream (our wholly owned subsidiary) entered into a commitment letter (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) withis restricted from declaring or making cash distributions on its Common Units until all required distributions on the lenders party thereto (collectively,Preferred Units have been paid. In addition, before the “Commitment Parties”), pursuantfifth anniversary of Closing, aggregate cash distributions on, and redemptions of, Common Units are limited to which$650 million of cash from ordinary course of operations if permitted under Altus Midstream’s Amended Credit Agreement.

Distributions not paid in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter, a senior unsecuredAmended LPA attract an additional percentage per annum, cumulative to the distribution rates noted above. Altus Midstream’s ability to exercise or satisfy redemption options in cash or pay quarterly distributions is predicated upon Altus Midstream’s ability to generate sufficient cash from operations in addition to the availability of borrowing capacity under its existing revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amountfacility.

We also expect the credit agreement will have customary terms, including affirmative and negative covenants and events of default.

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to complycontractual arrangements with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required fornon-emerging growth companies.

Quantitative and Qualitative DisclosuresDisclosure About Market Risk.

The net proceedsRisk

We are exposed to various market risks, including the effects of adverse changes in commodity prices and credit risk as described below.
Commodity Price Risk
Currently all of our initial public offeringmidstream service agreements are fee-based, with no direct commodity price exposure to oil, natural gas, or NGLs. However, we are indirectly exposed to adverse changes in commodity prices through Apache and potential third-party customers’ economic decisions to develop and produce oil and natural gas from which we receive revenues for providing gathering, processing and transmission services.
Fluctuations in commodity prices also impact operating cost elements both directly and indirectly. For example, commodity prices directly impact costs such as power and fuel, which are expenses that increase (or decrease) in line with changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices also affect industry activity and demand, thus indirectly impacting the salecost of items such as labor and equipment rentals. Management regularly reviews our potential exposure to commodity price risk, and may periodically enter into financial or physical arrangements intended to mitigate potential volatility.
Credit Risk
We are subject to credit risk resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by, or the private placement warrants heldinsolvency or liquidation of, Apache or potential third-party customers. Any increase in the trust account are invested in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule2a-7 undernonpayment and nonperformance by, or the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.
