Financial Assets and Liabilities

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value amounts included in the disclosures for financial assets and liabilities which are consistent with those disclosed in the 20162021 Annual Report on Form 10-K:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: For cash and short-term financial assets, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.

Long-Term Debt: The estimated fair value of the Partnership's publicly traded debt is based on quoted market prices at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016. The fair market value of the debt that is not publicly traded is based on market prices of similar debt at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016. The carrying amount of the Partnership's variable-rate debt at September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, approximated fair value.10-K.

Cash Distributions

In the third quarters 2017 and 2016, the Partnership declared and paid quarterly distributions to its common unitholders of record of $0.10 per common unit and an amount to the general partner on behalf of its 2% general partner interest. In October 2017, the Partnership declared a quarterly cash distribution to unitholders of record of $0.10 per common unit.

Net Income per Unit

For purposes of calculating net income per unit, net income for the current period is reduced by the amount of available cash that will be distributed with respect to that period. Payments made on account of the Partnership’s various ownership interests are determined in relation to actual declared distributions, and are not based on the assumed allocations required under GAAP. Any residual amount representing undistributed net income (or loss) is assumed to be allocated to the various ownership interests in accordance with the contractual provisions of the partnership agreement on a pro rata basis. Net income per unit is calculated based on the weighted-average number of units outstanding for the period.

Note 11: Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (ASU 2014-09) which will require entities to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer in an amount based on the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows from contracts with customers. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Partnership has substantially completed a review of its contracts with customers in relation to the requirements of ASU 2014-09, and has tentatively concluded that the implementation of ASU 2014-09 will not have a material impact on the timing or amount of revenue recognized for most of its contracts. The Partnership intends to apply ASU 2014-09 to its financial statements retrospectively with the cumulative effect of implementation recognized as of January 1, 2018.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (ASU 2016-02), which will require, among other things, the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current GAAP. The amendments are to be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, however, early adoption is permitted. The Partnership has initiated a project to evaluate the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its financial statements when implemented, however, no conclusions have been reached.

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

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, included elsewhere in this report, and prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and our consolidated financial statements, related notes, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Risk Factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (20162021 (2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K).

Firm Transportation Contracts and Growth Projects

Each year aWe operate in the midstream portion of our firm transportation agreements expire and need to be renewed or replaced. In the third quarter 2017, we executed an agreement regarding capacity on our Fayetteville and Greenville Laterals with Southwestern Energy Company (Southwestern), the largest customer on those Laterals. The agreement, which remains subject to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval, reduces contracted volumes (or the amount of capacity under contract) on our Fayetteville Lateral for the remaining contract term and commits Southwestern to new firm transportation agreements on our Fayetteville and Greenville Laterals that begin January 1, 2021, some of which expire on December 31, 2030, and to an interim agreement on the Greenville Lateral from April 2019 through 2020. The agreement also provides us the opportunity to transport natural gas produced from committed properties in the Fayetteville and Moorefield shales that are connected to our Fayetteville Lateral through 2030. Although the transaction will result in a reduction of firm transportation reservation revenues of approximately $70.0 million from 2017 to 2020, including reductions in 2018 and 2019 of approximately $44.0 million and $15.0 million, it provides longer-term revenue generation by adding ten-years of firm transportation service commitments on both Laterals and offers additional commodity fee revenue upside from Southwestern’s volume commitment.

The table below shows the approximate projected revenues for 2017 and 2018 from capacity reservation and minimum bill charges under committed firm transportation agreements in place as of September 30, 2017, updated from the amounts disclosed in our 2016 Form 10-K for the Southwestern transaction discussed above, the second quarter 2017 sale of our Flag City processing plant and related assets discussed below and contracts entered into since December 31, 2016. The table does not include additional revenues we have recognized and may receive under firm transportation agreements based on actual utilization of the contracted pipeline capacity, any expected revenues for periods after the expiration dates of the existing agreements, execution of precedent agreements associated with growth projects or other events that occurred or will occur subsequent to September 30, 2017.

In the 2018 to 2020 timeframe, the agreements associated with our East Texas Pipeline, Southeast Expansion, Gulf Crossing Pipeline and Fayetteville and Greenville Laterals, which were placed into service in 2008 and 2009, will expire. These projects were large, new pipeline expansions, developed to serve growing production in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana and anchored primarily by ten-year firm transportation agreements with producers. Since our expansion projects went into service, gas production from the Utica and Marcellus area in the Northeast has grown significantly and has altered the flow patterns of natural gas in North America. Over the last few years, gas production fromliquids and other basins such as Barnetthydrocarbons industry, providing transportation and Fayetteville, which primarily supported two of our expansions, has declined because the production economics instorage for those basins are not as competitive as other production basins, such as Utica and Marcellus. These market dynamics have resulted in less production from certain basins tied to our system and a narrowing of basis differentials across portions of our pipeline systems, primarily for capacity associated with natural gas flows from west to east. Total revenues generated from the expansion project capacity could be materially lower when these contracts expire, for example, as discussed above for the Southwestern agreements. We continue to focus ourcommodities.



marketing efforts on enhancing the value of the remaining expansion capacity and we are working with customers to match gas supplies from various basins to new and existing customers and markets, including aggregating supplies at key locations along our pipelines to provide end-use customers with attractive and diverse supply options.

Partly as a result of the increase in overall gas supplies, demand markets, primarily in the Gulf Coast area, are growing due to new natural gas export facilities, power plants, petrochemical facilities and increased exports to Mexico. These developments have resulted in significant growth projects for us, several of which we placed into service over the past twelve months. We have an additional $1.2 billion of growth projects under development that are expected to be placed into service through 2020, and through September 30, 2017, we have invested $555.6 million of capital in these projects. These new projects have lengthy planning and construction periods. As a result, these projects will not contribute to our earnings and cash flows until they are placed into service over the next several years.
Results of Operations

On May 9, 2017, we soldNote 2 in Part II, Item 8. of our Flag City Processing Partners, LLC subsidiary,2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a summary of our revenues and the related revenue recognition policies. A significant portion of our revenues are fee-based, being derived from capacity reservation charges under firm agreements with customers, which ownsdo not vary significantly period to period, but are impacted by longer-term trends in our business such as changes in pricing on contract renewals and other factors. Our operating costs and expenses do not vary significantly based upon the Flag City processing plantamount of products transported, with the exception of costs recorded in Fuel and related assets,transportation expense, which are netted with fuel retained on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

We use earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), a non-GAAP measure, as a financial measure to a third party for approximately $63.6 million, including customary adjustments.assess our operating and financial performance and return on invested capital. We recorded losses and impairments, reported within Total Operating Costs and Expenses, of $47.1 million on the sale.believe that some investors may find this measure useful in evaluating our performance.

Excluding2021. Including the items offset in fuel and transportation expense, primarily retained fuel, operating revenues increased $7.3$21.0 million, or 3%. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in our transportation revenues of $14.5$16.4 million which resulted fromprimarily due to recently completed growth projects recently placed into service, partly offset by contract expirations and loweran increase in our storage and parking and lending and storage revenues of $5.1$5.7 million due to unfavorablefavorable market conditions.

Excluding items offset inwith operating revenues, operating costs and expenses decreased $9.8increased $20.8 million, or 5% when compared to the comparable period in 2016. The operating expense decrease was, primarily due to increased costs from maintenance projects associated with the salerequirements of the Flag City processing plantPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Mega Rule, an increased asset base from recently completed growth projects and a decreasechange in employee-related costs.the estimated life of certain of our assets.

Total other deductions for the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, decreased $5.72022, increased $4.4 million, or 12%6%, to $40.7$80.1 million compared to $46.4$75.7 million for the 2016 period.

Critical Accounting Policies
