References in this report to “EnLink Midstream Partners, LP,” the “Partnership,” “ENLK,” or like terms refer to EnLink Midstream Partners, LP itself or EnLink Midstream Partners, LP together with its consolidated subsidiaries.subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.

Please read the notes to the consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the Definitions page set forth in this report prior to Part I—Financial Information.

a.Organization of Business

ENLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed in October 2013. The Company’s common units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ENLC.” ENLC owns all of theENLK’s common units and also owns all of ENLK, a Delaware limited partnership formed in 2002. EnLink Midstream GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and our wholly-owned subsidiary, is ENLK’s general partner.the membership interests of the General Partner. The General Partner manages ENLK’s operations and activities.

b.Nature of Business

We primarily focus on providing midstream energy services, including:

gathering, compressing, treating, processing, transporting, storing, and selling natural gas;
fractionating, transporting, storing, and selling NGLs; and
gathering, transporting, stabilizing, storing, trans-loading, and selling crude oil and condensate, in addition to brine disposal services.

Our midstream energy asset network includes approximately 11,900 miles of pipelines, 22 natural gas processing plants with approximately 5.5 Bcf/d of processing capacity, 7 fractionators with approximately 290,000 Bbls/d of fractionation capacity, barge and rail terminals, product storage facilities, purchasing and marketing capabilities, brine disposal wells, a crude oil trucking fleet, and equity investments in certain joint ventures. Our operations are based in the United States, and our sales are derived primarily from domestic customers.

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

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

Our crude oil and condensate business includes the gathering and transmission of crude oil and condensate via pipelines, barges, rail, and trucks, in addition to condensate stabilization and brine disposal. We also purchase crude oil and condensate from producers and other supply sources and sell that crude oil and condensate through our terminal facilities to various markets.

Across our businesses, we primarily earn our fees through various fee-based contractual arrangements, which include stated fee-only contract arrangements or arrangements with fee-based components where we purchase and resell commodities in connection with providing the related service and earn a net margin as our fee. We earn our net margin under our purchase and resell contract arrangements primarily as a result of stated service-related fees that are deducted from the price of the commodities purchased. While our transactions vary in form, the essential element of most of our transactions is the use of our

assets to transport a product or provide a processed product to an end-user or marketer at the tailgate of the plant, pipeline, or barge, truck, or rail terminal.

c.COVID-19 Update

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. There is considerable uncertainty regarding how long the COVID-19 pandemic will persist and affect economic conditions and the extent and duration of changes in consumer behavior.

(2) Significant Accounting Policies

a.Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, are unaudited, and do not include all the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020. Certain reclassifications were made to the financial statements for the prior period to conform to current period presentation. The effect of these reclassifications had no impact on previously reported members’ equity or net loss.income (loss). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

b.Revenue Recognition

Minimum Volume Commitments and Firm Transportation Contracts

Certain of our gathering and processing agreements provide for quarterly or annual MVCs. Under these agreements, our customers or suppliers agree to ship and/or process a minimum volume of product on our systems over an agreed time period. If a customer or supplier under such an agreement fails to meet its MVC for a specified period, the customer is obligated to pay a contractually-determined fee based upon the shortfall between actual product volumes and the MVC for that period. Some of these agreements also contain make-up right provisions that allow a customer or supplier to utilize gathering or processing fees in excess of the MVC in subsequent periods to offset shortfall amounts in previous periods. We record revenue under MVC contracts during periods of shortfall when it is known that the customer cannot, or will not, make up the deficiency in subsequent periods. Deficiency fee revenue is included in midstream services revenue.

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

The following table summarizes the contractually committed fees that we expect to recognize in our consolidated statements of operations, in either revenue or reductions to cost of sales, from MVC and firm transportation contractual provisions. All amounts in the table below are determined using the contractually-stated MVC or firm transportation volumes specified for each period multiplied by the relevant deficiency or reservation fee. Actual amounts could differ due to the timing of revenue recognition or reductions to cost of sales resulting from make-up right provisions included in our agreements, as well as due to nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers. These fees do not represent the shortfall amounts we expect to collect under our MVC contracts, as we generally do not expect volume shortfalls to equal the full amount of the contractual MVCs during these periods. For example, for the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, we had contractual commitments of $41.8$13.5 million under our MVC contracts and recorded $11.8$0.3 million of revenue due to volume shortfalls.

____________________________
(1)Amounts do not represent expected shortfall under these commitments.

c.Property and Equipment

Impairment Review. In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, we evaluate long-lived assets of identifiable business activities for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the undiscounted sum of the future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management’s best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions. When the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment is recognized equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which is based on inputs that are not observable in the market, and thus represent Level 3 inputs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized a $168.0 million impairment on property and equipment related to a portion of our Louisiana reporting segment because the carrying amounts were not recoverable based on our expected future cash flows. Additionally, we recorded a $0.4 million impairment related to certain cancelled projects.

d.Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

Non-controlling interests that contain an option for the non-controlling interest holder to require us to purchase such interests for cash are considered to be redeemable non-controlling interests because the redemption feature is not deemed to be a freestanding financial instrument and because the redemption is not solely within our control. Redeemable non-controlling interests are not considered to be a component of members’ equity and are reported as temporary equity in the mezzanine section on the consolidated balance sheets. The amount recorded as a redeemable non-controlling interest at each balance sheet date is the greater of the redemption value and the carrying value of the redeemable non-controlling interest (the initial carrying value increased or decreased for the non-controlling interest holder’s share of net income or loss and distributions). When the redemption feature is exercised the redemption value of the non-controlling interest is reclassified to a liability on the consolidated balance sheets.

During the first quarter of 2020, a non-controlling interest holder in one of our non-wholly owned subsidiaries exercised its option to require us to purchase its remaining interest. We have recorded an estimated liability of $4.0 million related to the redemption of the non-controlling interest on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020, but we have not yet agreed to a redemption value with the non-controlling interest holder.

e.Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (Topic 350): Internal-Use Software. ASU 2018-15 aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Specifically, the ASU amends ASC 350-40 to include in its scope implementation costs of a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract and clarifies that a customer should apply ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs should be capitalized in a cloud computing arrangement that is considered a service contract. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not capitalize any cloud computing costs. However, to the extent future costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement are capitalizable, the corresponding amortization will be included in “Operating expenses” or “General and administrative” in the consolidated statements of operations, rather than “Depreciation and amortization.”

Effective January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The updates in ASU 2016-13 provide financial statement users with more information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. Following the adoption of ASU 2016-13, we record an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our expectation of future losses. Because our receivables are typically paid within 30 days, and because we closely monitor the credit-worthiness of all our counterparties, adopting ASU 2016-13 did not have a material effect on our financial statements. However, in the event we foresee further or sustained deterioration in the current market environment, or other factors indicating an increased likelihood of defaults by our customers, we may recognize additional losses.

(3) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

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

The following table represents our change in carrying value of goodwill by segment (in millions):

Goodwill Impairment Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2020

During March 2020, we determined that a sustained decline in our unit price and weakness in the overall energy sector, driven by low commodity prices and lower consumer demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, caused a change in circumstances warranting an interim impairment test. Based on these triggering events, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis on the remaining goodwill in the Permian reporting unit. Based on this analysis, a goodwill impairment loss for our Permian reporting unit in the amount of $184.6 million was recognized as an impairment loss on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Goodwill Impairment Analysis for the three months ended March 31, 2019

During the first quarter of 2019, we recognized a $186.5 million goodwill impairment in our Louisiana reporting unit.

Certain of our lease agreements have options to extend the lease for a certain period after the expiration of the initial term. We recognize the cost of a lease over the expected total term of the lease, including optional renewal periods that we can reasonably expect to exercise. We do not have material obligations whereby we guarantee a residual value on assets we lease, nor do our lease agreements impose restrictions or covenants that could affect our ability to make distributions.

Lease expense is recognized on the consolidated statements of operations as “Operating expenses” and “General and administrative” depending on the nature of the leased asset. The components of total lease expense are as follows (in millions):

Consolidated Credit Facility

The Consolidated Credit Facility permits ENLC to borrow up to $1.75 billion on a revolving credit basis and includes a $500.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The Consolidated Credit Facility became available for borrowings and letters of credit upon closing of the Merger. In addition, ENLK became a guarantor under the Consolidated Credit Facility upon the closing of the Merger. In the event that ENLC defaults on the Consolidated Credit Facility, ENLK will be liable for the entire outstanding balance ($550.0 million as of March 31, 2020), and 105% of the outstanding letters of credit under the Consolidated Credit Facility ($18.8 million as of March 31, 2020). The obligations under the Consolidated Credit Facility are unsecured.
The Consolidated Credit Facility includes provisions for additional financial institutions to become lenders, or for any existing lender to increase its revolving commitment thereunder, subject to an aggregate maximum of $2.25 billion for all commitments under the Consolidated Credit Facility.
The Consolidated Credit Facility will mature on January 25, 2024, unless ENLC requests, and the requisite lenders agree, to extend it pursuant to its terms. The Consolidated Credit Facility contains certain financial, operational, and legal covenants. The financial covenants are tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter. The financial covenants include (i) maintaining a ratio of consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Consolidated Credit Facility, which term includes projected EBITDA from certain capital expansion projects) to consolidated interest charges of no less than 2.5 to 1.0 at all times prior to the occurrence of an investment grade event (as defined in the Consolidated Credit Facility) and (ii) maintaining a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA of no more than 5.0 to 1.0. If ENLC consummates one or more acquisitions in which the aggregate purchase price is $50.0 million or more, ENLC can elect to increase the maximum allowed ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA to 5.5 to 1.0 for the quarter in which the acquisition occurs and the three subsequent quarters.
Borrowings under the Consolidated Credit Facility bear interest at ENLC’s option at the Eurodollar Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.125% to 2.00%) or the Base Rate (the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, the 30-day Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% or the administrative agent’s prime rate) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.125% to

1.00%). The applicable margins vary depending on ENLC’s debt rating. Upon breach by ENLC of certain covenants governing the Consolidated Credit Facility, amounts outstanding under the Consolidated Credit Facility, if any, may become due and payable immediately.

At March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with and expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants of the Consolidated Credit Facility for at least the next twelve months.

Term Loan

On December 11, 2018, ENLK entered into the Term Loan with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Bank of Montreal and Royal Bank of Canada, as Co-Syndication Agents, Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents, and the lenders party thereto. Upon the closing of the Merger, ENLC assumed ENLK’s obligations under the Term Loan, and ENLK became a guarantor of the Term Loan. In the event that ENLC defaults on the Term Loan and the outstanding balance becomes due, ENLK will be liable for any amount owed on the Term Loan not paid by ENLC. The outstanding balance of the Term Loan was $850.0 million as of March 31, 2020. The obligations under the Term Loan are unsecured.

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

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at ENLC’s option at LIBOR plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.0% to 1.75%) or the Base Rate (the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, the 30-day Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% or the administrative agent’s prime rate) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.0% to 0.75%). The applicable margins vary depending on ENLC’s debt rating. Upon breach by ENLC of certain covenants included in the Term Loan, amounts outstanding under the Term Loan may become due and payable immediately.

At March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with and expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants of the Term Loan for at least the next twelve months.

Senior Unsecured Notes Repurchases

For the three months ended March 31, 2020, ENLK made aggregate payments of $5.2 million to repurchase $10.5 million of the 2024, 2025, and 2026 Notes in open market transactions, which resulted in a $5.3 million gain on extinguishment of debt.

AR Facility

On October 21, 2020, EnLink Midstream Funding, LLC, a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity that is an indirect subsidiary of ENLC (the “SPV”) entered into the AR Facility to borrow up to $250.0 million. In connection with the AR Facility, certain subsidiaries of ENLC have sold and contributed, and will continue to sell or contribute, their accounts receivable to the SPV to be held as collateral for borrowings under the AR Facility. The SPV’s assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of ENLC or any of its affiliates.

On February 26, 2021, the SPV entered into an amendment to the AR Facility that, among other things: (i) increased the AR Facility limit and lender commitments by $50.0 million to $300.0 million, (ii) reduced the Adjusted LIBOR and LMIR (each as defined in the AR Facility) minimum floor to 0, rather than the previous 0.375%, and (iii) reduced the currently effective drawn fee to 1.25% rather than the previous 1.625%.

Since our investment in the SPV is not sufficient to finance its activities without additional support from us, the SPV is a variable interest entity. We are the primary beneficiary of the SPV because we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect its economic performance and we are obligated to absorb its losses or receive its benefits from operations. Since we are the primary beneficiary of the SPV, we consolidate its assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of billed and unbilled accounts receivable of $505.9 million and long-term debt of $150.0 million as of March 31, 2021.

The amount available for borrowings at any one time under the AR Facility is limited to a borrowing base amount calculated based on the outstanding balance of eligible receivables held as collateral, subject to certain reserves, concentration limits, and other limitations. As of March 31, 2021, the AR Facility had a borrowing base of $262.1 million. Borrowings under the AR Facility bear interest (based on LIBOR or LMIR (as defined in the AR Facility)) plus a drawn fee in the amount of 1.25% at March 31, 2021. The drawn fee varies based on ENLC’s credit rating, and the SPV also pays a fee on the undrawn committed amount of the AR Facility. Interest and fees payable by the SPV under the AR Facility are due monthly.

The AR Facility is scheduled to terminate on October 20, 2023, unless extended in accordance with its terms or earlier terminated, at which time no further advances will be available and the obligations under the AR Facility must be repaid in full by no later than (i) the date that is ninety (90) days following such date or (ii) such earlier date on which the loans under the AR Facility become due and payable.

The AR Facility includes covenants, indemnification provisions, and events of default, including those providing for termination of the AR Facility and the acceleration of amounts owed by the SPV under the AR Facility if, among other things, a borrowing base deficiency exists, there is an event of default under the Consolidated Credit Facility, the Term Loan or certain other indebtedness, certain events negatively affecting the overall credit quality of the receivables held as collateral occur, a change of control occurs, or if the consolidated leverage ratio of ENLC exceeds limits identical to those in the Consolidated Credit Facility and the Term Loan.

At March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with and expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants of the AR Facility for at least the next twelve months.

Consolidated Credit Facility

The Consolidated Credit Facility permits ENLC to borrow up to $1.75 billion on a revolving credit basis and includes a $500.0 million letter of credit subfacility. The Consolidated Credit Facility became available for borrowings and letters of credit upon closing of the Merger. In addition, ENLK became a guarantor under the Consolidated Credit Facility upon the closing of the Merger. In the event that ENLC’s obligations under the Consolidated Credit Facility are accelerated due to a default, ENLK will be liable for the entire outstanding balance and 105% of the outstanding letters of credit under the Consolidated Credit Facility. There were 0 outstanding borrowings under the Consolidated Credit Facility and $27.5 million outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2021.

At March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with and expect to be in compliance with the financial covenants of the Consolidated Credit Facility for at least the next twelve months.

a.Long-Term Incentive Plans

We account for unit-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires that compensation related to all unit-based awards be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Unit-based compensation cost is valued at fair value at the date of grant, and that grant date fair value is recognized as expense over each award’s requisite service period with a corresponding increase to equity or liability based on the terms of each award and the appropriate accounting treatment under ASC 718. Unit-based compensation associated with ENLC’s unit-based compensation plan awarded to directors, officers, and employees of the General Partner is recorded by ENLK since ENLC has no substantial or managed operating activities other than its interests in ENLK.

c.ENLC Performance Units

ENLC grants performance awards under the 2014 Plan. The performance award agreements provide that the vesting of performance units (i.e., performance-based restricted incentive units) granted thereunder is dependent on the achievement of certain performance goals over the applicable performance period. At the end of the vesting period, recipients receive distribution equivalents, if any, with respect to the number of performance units vested. The vesting of such units ranges from 0 to 200% of the units granted depending on the extent to which the related performance goals are achieved over the relevant performance period.

The following table presents a summary of the performance units:

(12)(11) Derivatives

Interest Rate Swaps

In April 2019, we entered into an $850.0 million of interest rate swapswaps to manage the interest rate risk associated with our floating-rate, LIBOR-based borrowings. Under this arrangement, we pay a fixed interest rate of 2.28% in exchange for LIBOR-based variable interest through December 2021. There was no ineffectiveness related to this hedge.

In December 2020, in connection with the partial repayment of the Term Loan, we paid $10.9 million to terminate $500.0 million of the $850.0 million interest rate swaps and settled the outstanding derivative liability of $10.9 million. The unrealized loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will amortize into “Interest expense” on the consolidated statements of operations until the original maturity date of the Term Loan. For the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, we recorded $13.1amortized $2.9 million netinto interest expense out of a tax benefit of $4.0 million, into accumulated other comprehensive lossincome (loss) related to the termination of

On all transactions where we are exposed to counterparty risk, we analyze the counterparty’s financial condition prior to entering into an agreement, establish limits, and monitor the appropriateness of these limits on an ongoing basis. We primarily deal with financial institutions when entering into financial derivatives on commodities. We have entered into Master ISDAs that allow for netting of swap contract receivables and payables in the event of default by either party. If our counterparties failed to perform under existing commodity swap contracts, the maximum loss on our gross receivable position of $83.2$43.6 million as of March 31, 20202021 would be reduced to $21.4$7.5 million due to the offsetting of gross fair value payables against gross fair value receivables as allowed by the ISDAs.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

In February 2021, the areas in which we operate experienced a severe winter storm, with extreme cold, ice, and snow occurring over an unprecedented period of approximately 10 days (“Winter Storm Uri”). As a result of Winter Storm Uri, we have several pending customer billing disputes, including one that has resulted in litigation, and we could be involved in other disputes and litigation arising out of the storm in the future.

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

Current Market Environment.Amarillo Rattler Acquisition. On March 11, 2020,April 30, 2021, we completed the World Health Organization declaredacquisition of Amarillo Rattler, LLC, the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreakowner of a pandemicgathering and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The pandemic has reached more than 200 countries and has resulted in widespread adverse impacts on the global economy, the energy industry as a whole and midstream companies, and on our employees, customers, suppliers, and other parties with whom we have business relations. The pandemic and related travel and operational restrictions, as well as business closures and curtailed consumer activity, have resulted in a significant reduction in global demand for crude oil, condensate, natural gas, and NGLs. For example, global demand for crude oil has dropped by nearly one-third since mid-February. The decline in demand has been met with a declineprocessing system located in the market price for these commodities, particularly for crude oil,Midland Basin. In connection with the purchase, we entered into an amended and especially followingrestated gas gathering and processing agreement with Diamondback Energy, strengthening our dedicated acreage position and deepening our relationship with Diamondback Energy. We acquired the announcement by Saudi Arabiasystem with an upfront payment of a significant increase in its maximum crude oil production capacity, as well as the announcement by Russia that previously agreed upon oil production cuts between members of OPEC+ would expire. On April 12, 2020, members of OPEC+ agreed to certain production cuts; however, these cuts are not expected$50.0 million, which was paid with cash-on-hand, with an additional $10 million to be enough to offset near-term demand loss attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, crude oil stockpiles and the decision of end users, such as refineries, not to take a normal level of crude oil shipments has led to a severe and growing shortage of storage capacity for oil and significantly higher costs for available storage. In the case of the oil markets, both the declinepaid in demand and storage concerns have caused the price of oil to reach historic lows.

As a result of the supply/demand imbalance, reduced commodity prices, limited storage capacity,2022, and an uncertain timeline for recovery, oil and natural gas producers, including our customers, have sharply curtailed their currentearnout capped at $15 million based on Diamondback Energy’s drilling and production

activity as well as their plans for future drilling and production activity. As a result of these decreases in activity, our business and financial results, and those of others in our industry, have been adversely affected and will likely continue to be adversely affected until the markets for these commodities recover and producers elect to expand their production activities. For example, since mid-March, we have experienced reduced volumes gathered, processed, fractionated, and transported on our assets as a result of reduced production from the regions that supply our systems. We cannot predict the full impact that COVID-19 or the significant disruption and volatility currently being experienced in the oil and natural gas markets will have on our business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows (including our ability to make distributions to our unitholders) at this time, due to numerous uncertainties. The ultimate impacts will depend on future developments, including, among others, the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the consequences of governmental and other measures designed to prevent the spread of the virus, the development of effective treatments, the duration of the outbreak and the governmental measures designed to contain the virus, actions taken by members of OPEC+ and other foreign, oil-exporting countries, actions taken by governmental authorities, customers, suppliers, and other third parties, workforce availability, the availability of oil storage capacity, and the timing and extent to which normal economic and operating conditions resume.

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

Please read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. In addition, please refer to the Definitions page set forth in this report prior to Part I—Financial Information.

In this report, the terms “Company” or “Registrant,” as well as the terms “ENLC,” “our,” “we,” “us,” or like terms, are sometimes used as abbreviated references to EnLink Midstream, LLC itself or EnLink Midstream, LLC together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including ENLK and its consolidated subsidiaries. References in this report to “EnLink Midstream Partners, LP,” the “Partnership,” “ENLK,” or like terms refer to EnLink Midstream Partners, LP itself or EnLink Midstream Partners, LP together with its consolidated subsidiaries.subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.

Overview

ENLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed in October 2013. ENLC’s material assets consist of all of the outstanding common units of ENLK and all of the membership interests of the General Partner. All of our midstream energy assets are owned and operated by ENLK and its subsidiaries. We primarily focus on providing midstream energy services, including:

gathering, compressing, treating, processing, transporting, storing, and selling natural gas;
fractionating, transporting, storing, and selling NGLs; and
gathering, transporting, stabilizing, storing, trans-loading, and selling crude oil and condensate, in addition to brine disposal services.

Our midstream energy asset network includes approximately 12,00011,900 miles of pipelines, 2122 natural gas processing plants with approximately 5.35.5 Bcf/d of processing capacity, seven7 fractionators with approximately 290,000 Bbls/d of fractionation capacity, barge and rail terminals, product storage facilities, purchasing and marketing capabilities, brine disposal wells, a crude oil trucking fleet, and equity investments in certain joint ventures. We manage and report our activities primarily according to the nature of activity and geography.

Starting in the first quarter of 2021, we began evaluating the financial performance of our segments by including realized and unrealized gains and losses resulting from commodity swaps activity in the Permian, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and North Texas segments. Commodity swaps activity was previously reported in the Corporate segment. We have five reportable segments:recast segment information for all presented periods prior to the first quarter of 2021 to conform to current period presentation. Identification of the majority of our operating segments is based principally upon geographic regions served:

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

North TexasLouisiana Segment. The North TexasLouisiana segment includes our natural gas gathering,and NGL pipelines, natural gas processing plants, natural gas and transmission activitiesNGL storage facilities, and fractionation facilities located in North Texas;Louisiana and our crude oil operations in ORV;

Oklahoma Segment. The Oklahoma segment includes our natural gas gathering, processing, and transmission activities, and our crude oil operations in the Cana-Woodford, Arkoma-Woodford, northern Oklahoma Woodford, STACK, and CNOW shale areas;

LouisianaNorth Texas Segment. The LouisianaNorth Texas segment includes our natural gas pipelines, natural gasgathering, processing, plants, storage facilities, fractionation facilities, and NGL assets locatedtransmission activities in Louisiana and our crude oil operations in ORV;North Texas; and

Corporate Segment. The Corporate segment includes our unconsolidated affiliate investments in the Cedar Cove JV in Oklahoma, our ownership interest in GCF in South Texas, our derivative activity, and our general corporate assets and expenses.

We manage our consolidated operations by focusing on adjusted gross operating margin because our business is generally to gather, process, transport, or market natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, and condensate using our assets for a fee. We earn our fees through various fee-based contractual arrangements, which include stated fee-only contract arrangements or arrangements with fee-based components where we purchase and resell commodities in connection with providing the related service and earn a net margin as our fee. We earn our net margin under our purchase and resell contract arrangements primarily as a result of stated service-related fees that are deducted from the price of the commodity purchase. While our transactions vary in form, the

essential element of most of our transactions is the use of our assets to transport a product or provide a processed product to an end-user or marketer at the tailgate of the plant, pipeline, or barge, truck, or rail terminal. We defineAdjusted gross operating margin as operating revenue minus cost of sales. Gross operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure and is explained in greater detail under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Approximately 89%82% of our adjusted gross operating margin was derived from fee-based contractual arrangements with minimal direct commodity price exposure for the three months ended March 31, 2020. We reflect revenue as “Product sales” and “Midstream services” on the consolidated statements of operations.

Devon is one of our primary customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, approximately 33.4% and 30.0% of our gross operating margin, respectively, was attributable to commercial contracts with Devon.
Our revenues and adjusted gross operating margins are generated from eight primary sources:

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

The following customers represent a significant percentage of revenues, and the loss of the customer would have a material adverse impact on our results of operations because the revenues and adjusted gross margin received from transactions with these customers is material to us.

We gather, transport, or store gas owned by others under fee-only contract arrangements based either on the volume of gas gathered, transported, or stored or, for firm transportation arrangements, a stated monthly fee for a specified monthly quantity with an additional fee based on actual volumes. We also buy natural gas from producers or shippers at a market index less a fee-based deduction subtracted from the purchase price of the natural gas. We then gather or transport the natural gas and sell the natural gas at a market index, thereby earning a margin through the fee-based deduction. We attempt to execute substantially all purchases and sales concurrently, or we enter into a future delivery obligation, thereby establishing the basis for the fee we will receive for each natural gas transaction. We are also party to certain long-term gas sales commitments that we satisfy through supplies purchased under long-term gas purchase agreements. When we enter into those arrangements, our sales obligations generally match our purchase obligations. However, over time, the supplies that we have under contract may decline due to reduced drilling or other causes, and we may be required to satisfy the sales obligations by buying additional gas at prices that may exceed the prices received under the sales commitments. In our purchase/sale transactions, the resale price is generally based on the same index at which the gas was purchased.
 
We typically buy mixed NGLs from our suppliers to our gas processing plants at a fixed discount to market indices for the component NGLs with a deduction for our fractionation fee. We subsequently sell the fractionated NGL products based on the same index-based prices. To a lesser extent, we transport and fractionate or store NGLs owned by others for a fee based on the volume of NGLs transported and fractionated or stored. The operating results of our NGL fractionation business are largely dependent upon the volume of mixed NGLs fractionated and the level of fractionation fees charged. With our fractionation business, we also have the opportunity for product upgrades for each of the discrete NGL products. We realize higher adjusted gross operating margins from product upgrades during periods with higher NGL prices.
 
We gather or transport crude oil and condensate owned by others by rail, truck, pipeline, and barge facilities under fee-only contract arrangements based on volumes gathered or transported. We also buy crude oil and condensate on our own gathering systems, third-party systems, and trucked from producers at a market index less a stated transportation deduction. We then transport and resell the crude oil and condensate through a process of basis and fixed price trades. We execute substantially all purchases and sales concurrently, thereby establishing the net margin we will receive for each crude oil and condensate transaction.

We realize adjusted gross operating margins from our gathering and processing services primarily through different contractual arrangements: processing margin (“margin”) contracts, POL contracts, POP contracts, fixed-fee componentbased contracts, or a

combination of these contractual arrangements. “See ItemSee “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk” for a detailed description of these contractual arrangements. Under any of these gathering and processing arrangements, we may earn a fee for the services performed, or we may buy and resell the gas and/or NGLs as part of the processing arrangement and realize a net margin as our fee. Under margin contract arrangements, our adjusted gross operating margins are higher during periods of high NGL prices relative to natural gas prices. Gross operatingAdjusted gross margin results under POL contracts are impacted only by the value of the liquids produced with margins higher during periods of higher liquids prices. Gross operatingAdjusted gross margin results under POP contracts are impacted only by the value of the natural gas and liquids produced with margins higher during periods of higher natural gas and liquids prices. Under fixed-fee based contracts, our adjusted gross operating margins are driven by throughput volume.
 
Operating expenses are costs directly associated with the operations of a particular asset. Among the most significant of these costs are those associated with direct labor and supervision, property insurance, property taxes, repair and maintenance expenses, contract services, and utilities. These costs are normally fairly stable across broad volume ranges and therefore do not

normally increase or decrease significantly in the short term with increases or decreases in the volume of gas, liquids, crude oil, and condensate moved through or by our assets.

Recent Developments Affecting Industry Conditions and Our Business

Current Market Environment

The midstream energy business environment and our business are affected by the level of production of natural gas and oil in the areas in which we operate and the various factors that affect this production, including commodity prices, capital markets trends, competition, and regulatory changes. We believe these factors will continue to affect production and therefore the demand for midstream services and our business in the future. To the extent these factors vary from our underlying assumptions, our business and actual results could vary materially from market expectations and from the assumptions discussed in this section.

Production levels by our exploration and production customers are driven in large part by the level of oil and natural gas prices. New drilling activity is necessary to maintain or increase production levels as oil and natural gas wells experience production declines over time. New drilling activity generally moves in the same direction as crude oil and natural gas prices as those prices drive investment returns and cash flow available for reinvestment by exploration and production companies. Accordingly, our operations are affected by the level of crude, natural gas, and NGL prices, the relationship among these prices, and related activity levels from our customers.

There has been, and we believe there will continue to be, volatility in commodity prices and in the relationships among NGL, crude oil, and natural gas prices. During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and related travel and operational restrictions, as well as business closures and curtailed consumer activity, led to a reduction in global demand for energy, volatility in the market prices for crude oil, condensate, natural gas, and NGLs, and a significant reduction in the market price of crude oil during the first half of 2020. Although commodity markets have recovered nearly to pre-pandemic levels, oil and natural gas commodity prices remain somewhat weak relative to historical levels and continue to remain volatile.

Capital markets and the demands of public investors also affect producer behavior, production levels, and our business. Over the last several years, public investors have exerted pressure on oil and natural gas producers to increase capital discipline and focus on higher investment returns even if it means lower growth. In addition, the ability of companies in the oil and gas industry to access the capital markets on favorable terms has been negatively impacted. This demand by investors for increased capital discipline from energy companies, as well as the difficulties in accessing capital markets, has led to more modest capital investment by producers, curtailed drilling and production activity, and, accordingly, slower growth for us and other midstream companies during the past few years. This trend was amplified in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic demand destruction. Although volumes recovered nearly to pre-pandemic levels in the second half of 2020, global capital investments by oil and natural gas producers remain at low levels.

Producers generally focus their drilling activity on certain producing basins depending on commodity price fundamentals and favorable drilling economics. In the last few years, many producers have increasingly focused their activities in the Permian Basin, because of the availability of higher investment returns. Currently, a large percentage of all drilling rigs operating in the United States are operating in the Permian Basin. As a result of this concentration of drilling activity in the Permian, other basins, including those in which we operate in Oklahoma and North Texas, have experienced reduced incremental new investment and declines in volumes produced. In contrast, we continue to experience an increase in volumes in our Permian segment as our operations in that basin are in a favorable position relative to producer activity.

Table of Contents
Our Louisiana segment, while subject to commodity prices and capital markets developments, is less dependent on gathering and processing activities and more affected by industrial demand for the natural gas and NGLs that we supply. Industrial demand along the Gulf Coast region has remained strong in the second half of 2020 and through the first quarter of 2021, supported by regional industrial activity and export markets. Our activities and, in turn, our financial performance in the Louisiana segment are highly dependent on the availability of natural gas and NGLs produced by our upstream gathering and processing business and by other market participants. To date, the supply of natural gas and NGLs has remained at levels sufficient for us to supply our customers, and maintaining such supply is a key business focus.

For additional discussion regarding these factors, see “Item 1A—Risk Factors—Business and Industry Risks” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission on February 17, 2021.

Winter Storm Uri

In February 2021, the areas in which we operate experienced a severe winter storm, with extreme cold, ice, and snow occurring over an unprecedented period of approximately 10 days (“Winter Storm Uri”). Winter Storm Uri adversely affected the Company’s facilities and activities across the Company’s footprint, as it did for producers and other midstream companies located in these areas. The severe cold temperatures caused production freeze-offs and also led some producers to proactively shut-in their wells to preserve well integrity. As a result, the Company’s gathering and processing volumes were significantly reduced during this period, with peak volume declines ranging between 44% and 92%, depending on the region. The Company responded to the challenges presented by the storm by taking active steps to ensure the resiliency of the Company’s assets and the protection of the health and well-being of its employees. The Company’s operations have now returned to normal, and volumes have recovered to pre-storm levels.

The lack of gathered and processed volumes during the storm presented a number of commercial challenges, including the management of losses on derivative contracts and firm commodity sales contracts and making outlays to meet one-time operating expenses for storm recovery. To balance these challenges, the Company was able to use its integrated asset base to make limited incremental gas available to support local markets and to use its storage volumes in Louisiana to help offset lower natural gas and NGL supplies. Additionally, because of idled operations and elevated power prices, the Company was able to earn approximately $40 million in credits for unused electricity which had been purchased on a firm basis. These credits can be used to offset future power payments. However, because of the magnitude and unprecedented nature of the storm, we cannot at this time predict the full impact that Winter Storm Uri may have on our future results of operations. The ultimate impacts will depend on future developments, including, among other factors, the outcome of pending billing disputes with customers and regulatory actions by state legislatures and other entities responsible for the regulation and pricing of electricity and the electrical grid.

COVID-19 Update

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. The pandemic has reached more than 200 countries and has resulted in widespread adverse impacts onSince the global economy, the energy industry as a whole and midstream companies, and onoutbreak began, our employees, customers, suppliers, and other parties with whom we have business relations. The pandemic and related travel and operational restrictions, as well as business closures and curtailed consumer activity, have resulted in a significant reduction in global demand for crude oil, condensate, natural gas, and NGLs. For example, global demand for oil has dropped by nearly one-third since mid-February. The decline in demand has been met with a decline in the market price for these commodities, particularly for crude oil, and especially following the announcement by Saudi Arabia of a significant increase in its maximum crude oil production capacity, as well as the announcement by Russia that previously agreed upon oil production cuts between members of OPEC+ would expire on April 1, 2020, and the ensuing expiration thereof. On April 12, 2020, members of OPEC+ agreed to certain production cuts; however, these cuts are not expected to be enough to offset near-term demand loss attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, crude oil stockpiles and the decision of end users, such as refineries, not to take a normal level of crude oil shipments has led to a severe and growing shortage of storage capacity for oil and significantly higher costs for available storage. In the case of the oil markets, both the decline in demand and storage concerns have caused the price of oil to reach historic lows.

As a result of the supply/demand imbalance, reduced commodity prices, limited storage capacity, and an uncertain timeline for recovery, oil and natural gas producers, including our customers, have sharply curtailed their current drilling and production activity as well as their plans for future drilling and production activity. This reduction in production has been most acute for crude oil production, but because condensate production and a significant portion of gas and NGL production depends on, or is a byproduct of, the production of crude oil, the curtailment of crude oil drilling and production affects the production of these other commodities. As a result of these decreases in producer activity, our business and financial results, and those of others in our industry, have been adversely affected and will likely continue to be adversely affected until the markets for these commodities recover and producers elect to expand their production activities. For example, since mid-March, we have experienced reduced volumes gathered, processed, fractionated, and transported on our assets as a result of reduced production from the regions that supply our systems. Our first priority in our response to this crisis has been the health and safety of our employees and those of our customers and other business counterparties. We haveBeginning in March 2020, we implemented preventative measures and developed a response plan to minimize unnecessary risk of exposure and prevent infection, while supporting our customers’ operations. We have a crisis management team for health, safety and environmental matters and personnel issues,operations, and we have established a cross-functional COVID-19 response teamcontinue to address various impacts of the situation, as they have been developing.follow these plans. We also have modified certain business practices (including discontinuing all non-essential business travel, implementing a temporary work-from-home policy for employees who can execute their work remotely, and encouraging employeescontinue to adhere to local and regional social distancing recommendations) to support efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and to conform to government restrictions and best practices encouraged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and other governmental and regulatory authorities. We also have promotedpromote heightened awareness and vigilance, hygiene, and implementation of more stringent cleaning protocols across our facilities and operations.operations and we continue to evaluate and adjust our preventative measures, response plans, and business practices with the evolving impacts of COVID-19. We have continued to maintain these COVID protocols since the inception of the pandemic and to date we have not experienced any COVID-19 related operational disruptions.

There is considerable uncertainty regarding how long the extent to which COVID-19 pandemic will continue to spreadpersist and affect economic conditions and the extent and duration of governmental and other measures implemented to try to slow the spread of the virus, such as large-scale travel bans and restrictions, border closures, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business and government shutdowns. As a result, there is significant uncertainty regarding how long the market dislocations will continue and how significantly and how long they will continue to affect us. We expect to see continued volatility in crude oil, condensate, natural gas, and NGL prices for the foreseeable future, which may, over the long term, adversely impact our business. A sustained significant decline in oil and natural gas exploration and production activities and related reduced demand for our services by our customers, whether due to decreaseschanges in consumer demand or reduction in the prices for oil, condensate natural gas and NGLs or otherwise, would have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows (including our ability to make distributions to our unitholders).

As of the date of this report, our efforts to respond to the challenges presented by the conditions described above and minimize the impacts to our business have yielded results. Our systems, pipelines, and facilities have remained operational. We have also moved quickly and decisively to implement strategies to reduce costs, increase operational efficiencies, and lower our capital spending. As we previously announced, we intend to reduce our capital expenditures in 2020, including both growth and maintenance capital expenditures, to between $190 million and $250 million, a 65% reduction from 2019 total capital spending. We have also reduced costs across our platform and we intend to reduce our general and administrative and operational expenses by $100 million for the full-year 2020 versus the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. In addition, we maintain

our previously announced plan to fully self-fund all capital expenditures during 2020 with internally generated cash flows, and have no plans to access the capital markets during 2020. Also, as of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $258 million of cash on our balance sheet and have drawn only approximately $550 million on our $1.75 billion ENLC Credit Facility. We have not requested any funding under any federal or other governmental programs to support our operations, and we do not expect to utilize any such funding. We are continuing to address concerns to protect the health and safety of our employees and those of our customers and other business counterparties, and this includes changes to comply with health-related guidelines as they are modified and supplemented.behavior.

We cannot predict the full impact that the COVID-19 pandemic or the significant disruption and volatility currently being experienced in the oil and natural gas markets related to COVID-19 will have on our business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows (including our ability to make distributions to unitholders) at this time due to numerous uncertainties. The ultimate impacts will depend on future developments, including, among others, the ultimate geographic spreadduration and persistence of the pandemic, the speed at which the population is vaccinated against the virus and the efficacy of the vaccines, the effect of the pandemic on economic, social, and other aspects of everyday life, the consequences of governmental and other measures designed to prevent the spread of the virus, the development of effective treatments, the duration of the outbreak, and the governmental measures designed to contain the virus, actions taken by members of OPEC+ and other foreign, oil-exporting countries, actions taken by governmental authorities, customers, suppliers, and other third parties, workforce availability, the availability of oil storage capacity, and the timing and extent to which normal economic, social, and operating conditions resume.

Regulatory Developments

On January 20, 2021, the Biden Administration came into office and immediately issued a number of executive orders related to climate change and the production of oil and gas that could affect our operations and those of our customers. On his first day in office, President Biden signed an instrument reentering the United States into the Paris Agreement, effective February 19, 2021, and issued an executive order on “Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis” seeking to adopt new regulations and policies to address climate change and suspend, revise, or rescind prior agency actions that are identified as conflicting with the Biden Administration’s climate policies. In addition, on January 27, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order indefinitely suspending new oil and natural gas leases on public lands or in offshore waters pending completion of a comprehensive review and reconsideration of federal oil and gas permitting and leasing practices, and on April 22, 2021, at a global summit on climate change, President Biden committed the United States to target emissions reductions of 50-52% of 2005 levels by 2030. Among the areas that could be affected by these initiatives are regulations addressing methane emissions and the part of the extraction process known as hydraulic fracturing. The Biden Administration could also seek, in the future, to put into place additional executive orders, policy and regulatory reviews, or seek to have Congress pass legislation that could adversely affect the production of oil and gas assets and our operations and those of our customers.

Only a small percentage of our operations are derived from customers operating on public land, mainly in the Delaware Basin, and these activities are expected to represent only approximately 4% of our total segment profit, net to EnLink, during 2021. In addition, we have a robust program to monitor and prevent methane emissions in our operations and we maintain a comprehensive environmental program that is embedded in our operations. However, our activities that take place on public lands require that we and our producer customers obtain leases, permits, and other approvals from the federal government. While the status of recent and future rules and rulemaking initiatives under the Biden Administration remain uncertain, these actions, and the regulations and the policies that could result from them, could lead to increased costs for us or our customers, difficulties in obtaining leases, permits, and other approvals for us and our customers, reduced utilization of our gathering, processing and pipeline systems or reduced rates under renegotiated transportation or storage agreements in affected regions. These impacts could, in turn, adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, including our ability to make cash distributions to our unitholders.

Riptide Processing Plant. In March 2020, we completed construction of a 55 MMcf/d expansion to our Riptide processing plant in the Midland Basin, bringing the total operational processing capacity at the plant to 220 MMcf/d.

Delaware Basin Processing Plant. In August 2019, we commenced construction of our Tiger Plant, which will expand our Delaware Basin processing capacity by an additional 200 MMcf/d. We expect the plant to be operational in the second half of 2020. This processing plant is owned by the Delaware Basin JV.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To assist management in assessing our business, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjustedadjusted gross margin, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”), distributable cash flow available to common unitholders (“distributable cash flow”), excess and free cash flow and gross operating margin.after distributions.

Adjusted Gross Margin

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

Adjusted EBITDA

We define adjusted EBITDA as net lossincome (loss) plus (less) interest expense, net of interest income; depreciation and amortization; impairments; (income) loss from unconsolidated affiliate investments; distributions from unconsolidated affiliate investments; (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt; unit-based compensation; income tax expense (benefit); depreciation and amortization; impairments; distributions from unconsolidated affiliates; unit-based compensation; transaction costs; unrealized (gain) loss on commodity swaps; andrelocation costs associated with the War Horse processing facility; (gain) loss on disposition of assets; accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations; less gain on disposition of assets; gain on extinguishment of debt; income from unconsolidated affiliates; payments under onerous performance obligation; non-cash rent;(non-cash rent); and non-controlling(non-controlling interest share of adjusted EBITDA from joint ventures.ventures). Adjusted EBITDA is athe primary metric used in our short-term incentive program for compensating employees. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental liquidity and performance measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts, and others, to assess:

the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis;
the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support our indebtedness, and make cash distributions to our unitholders;
our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing methods or capital structure; and
the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

Table of Contents
The GAAP measures most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA are net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss), operating income (loss), net cash provided by operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because other companies may not calculate adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

Adjusted EBITDA does not include interest expense, net of interest income; income tax expense (benefit); and depreciation and amortization. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and our ability to generate cash available for distribution. Because we usehave capital assets, depreciation and amortization are also necessary elements of our costs. Therefore, any measures that exclude these elements have material limitations. To compensate for these limitations, we believe that it is important to consider net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP, as well as adjusted EBITDA, to evaluate our overall performance.

Maintenance capital expenditures include capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and to extend their useful lives. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures to refurbish and replace pipelines, gathering assets, well connections, compression assets, and processing assets up to their original operating capacity, to maintain pipeline and equipment reliability, integrity, and safety, and to address environmental laws and regulations.

Growth capital expenditures generally include capital expenditures made for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our asset base, operating income, or operating capacity over the long-term. Examples of growth capital expenditures include the acquisition of assets and the construction or development of additional pipeline, storage, well connections, gathering, or processing assets, in each case, to the extent such capital expenditures are expected to expand our asset base, operating capacity, or our operating income.

Maintenance capital expenditures include capital expenditures made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating capacity of the assets and to extend their useful lives. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are expenditures to refurbish and replace pipelines, gathering assets, well connections, compression assets, and processing assets up to their original operating capacity, to maintain pipeline and equipment reliability, integrity, and safety, and to address environmental laws and regulations.

Gross Operating Margin

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

Gross Operating Margin. Gross operating margin was $400.8$106.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $137.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $415.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $15.0 million, or 3.6%, due$30.9 million. The primary contributors to the following:decrease were as follows (in millions):

Permian Segment. Gross operatingmargin was $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $4.1 million primarily due to the following:

Adjusted gross margin in the Permian segment decreased $8.6$37.1 million, resulting from (i) a $7.6 million decrease in gross operating margin from our Permian crude assets with a $3.8 million decrease due to declines in crude oil prices and $3.8 million of that decrease due to the expiration of an MVC related to our South Texas assets in July 2019, and (ii) a $1.0 million decrease in gross operating margin from our Permian gas assets due to a $2.3 million decrease in gross operating margin related to our Midland Basin assets offset by a $1.3 million increase in gross operating margin related to our Delaware Basin assets.which was primarily driven by:

North Texas Segment. An increase in realized and unrealized derivative losses of $57.8 million and $14.7 million, respectively, due to significant commodity price impacts resulting from Winter Storm Uri.
Gross operatingA $3.0 million decrease to adjusted gross margin in the North Texas segment decreased $6.9 million, which wasassociated with our Midland Basin crude assets primarily due to volume declines related to weather disruptions from Winter Storm Uri.
A $0.8 million decrease in adjusted gross margin associated with our Delaware Basin gas assets primarily due to volume declines related to weather disruptions from Winter Storm Uri.
These decreases were partially offset by a $38.1 million increase in adjusted gross margin due to significant favorable physical commodity price sales on our Midland Basin gas assets resulting from limited new drillingWinter Storm Uri, which were more than offset by the derivative impact noted above, and a $1.1 million increase in the region.adjusted gross margin due to volume growth in our Delaware Basin crude assets from system expansion.

Oklahoma Segment. Gross operating marginOperating expenses in the OklahomaPermian segment decreased $9.2 million. Gross operating margin contributed by our Oklahoma gas assets decreased $10.1$37.3 million which was partiallyprimarily due to lower volumes fromutility costs as a result of approximately $40.0 million of utility credits that we received because our existing customers,electricity usage was below our contractual base load amounts during Winter Storm Uri, which entitled us to credits based on market rates for our unused electricity. These credits can be used to offset future utility payments. Operating expenses also decreased due to lower labor and wasbenefits expense as a result of reductions in workforce in April 2020. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.9increases in construction fees and services and materials and supplies expense.

Depreciation and amortization in the Permian segment increased $4.3 million increaseprimarily due to new assets placed into service, including the expansion to our Riptide processing plant in gross operating margin contributed byMarch 2020 and the completion of our Oklahoma crude assets.Tiger processing plant in August 2020.

Louisiana Segment.Gross operatingmargin was $46.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $37.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, an increase of $8.6 million primarily due to the following:

Adjusted gross margin in the Louisiana segment decreased $7.7increased $4.3 million, resulting from (i) a $4.0from:

A $21.7 million decreaseincrease in adjusted gross operating margin fromassociated with our Louisiana gas plants due to lower processing margins and volumes attributable to a less favorable processing environment, and (ii) a $3.7 million decrease in gross operating margin from our Louisiana gas transmission assets due to the expiration of certain firm transportation contracts and decreased volumes. While gross operating margin related to our ORV crude assets decreased $1.8 million, primarily due to lower volumes, this decrease was partially offset by an increase of $1.8 million in gross operating margin from our NGL transmission and fractionation assets, which was primarily due to higher volumes that resulted from the completion of the Cajun-Sibon pipeline expansion in April 2019.

favorable market prices on NGL sales.
Corporate Segment. Gross operatingA $1.4 million increase in adjusted gross margin in the Corporate segment increased $17.4 million,associated with our Louisiana gas assets, which was primarily due to increased gathering and transportation fees as a result of higher volumes transported in addition to increased storage and hub fees following our acquisition of the changesJefferson Island storage facility in fair value of our commodity swaps between the periods as summarized below (in millions):December 2020.

An increase in realized and unrealized derivative losses of $6.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively, due to significant commodity price impacts resulting from Winter Storm Uri.
A $1.6 million decrease in adjusted gross margin associated with our Oklahoma crude assets primarily due to lower volumes from our existing customers and partially as a result of weather disruptions from Winter Storm Uri.

Operating expenses in the Oklahoma segment decreased $3.2 million primarily due to reductions in compressor rentals related to the assets in this segment and labor and benefits expense as a result of reductions in workforce in April 2020. These decreases were partially offset by higher construction fees and services associated with work performed related to the assets in this segment.

Depreciation and amortization in the Oklahoma segment decreased $5.9 million primarily due to a change in the estimated useful lives of certain non-core assets in 2020.

Income (Loss) from Unconsolidated Affiliate Investments. Loss from unconsolidated affiliate investments was $6.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to income of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, a decrease of $8.0 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction of income of $7.5 million from our GCF investment, as a result of the GCF assets being temporarily idled beginning in January 2021, and a reduction of income of $0.5 million from our Cedar Cove JV.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense). Income tax expense was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to an income tax benefit of $33.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which is primarily attributable to the decrease in loss between periods.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest. Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $26.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to net income of $41.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $15.1 million. This decrease was primarily due to the conversion of ENLK common units into ENLC common units as a result of the Merger in the first quarter of 2019. Subsequent to the Merger, ENLC’s non-controlling interest is comprised of ENLK’s Series B Preferred Units, ENLK’s Series C Preferred Units, NGP’s 49.9% share of the Delaware Basin JV, Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s 50% share of the Ascension JV, and other minor non-controlling interests.

Critical Accounting Policies

Information regarding our critical accounting policies is included in Item 7“Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except as described below.

Property and Equipment

Impairment Review. In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, we evaluate long-lived assets of identifiable business activities for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable when it exceeds the undiscounted sum of the future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management’s best estimate based on reasonable and supportable assumptions. When the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment is recognized equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which is based on inputs that are not observable in the market, and thus represent Level 3 inputs.

During March 2020, we determined that a sustained decline in our unit price and weakness in the overall energy sector, driven by low commodity prices and lower consumer demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, caused a change in circumstances warranting an interim impairment test. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized a $168.0 million impairment on property and equipment related to a portion of our Louisiana reporting segment because the carrying amounts were not recoverable based on our expected future cash flows. Additionally, we recorded a $0.4 million impairment related to certain cancelled projects.

Goodwill Impairment

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

During March 2020, we determined that a sustained decline in our unit price and weakness in the overall energy sector, driven by low commodity prices and lower consumer demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, caused a change in circumstances warranting an interim impairment test. Based on these triggering events, we performed a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis on the remaining goodwill in the Permian reporting unit. Based on this analysis, a goodwill impairment loss for our Permian reporting unit in the amount of $184.6 million was recognized as an impairment loss on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activitieswas $225.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $182.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $264.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020.

Operating cash flows before changes in working capital decreased $10.2$58.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020. The primary contributors to the decrease in operating cash flows were as follows:

Gross operating margin, excluding depreciation and amortization, non-cash commodity swap activity, utility credits, and unit-based compensation, decreased $35.8$57.8 million. For more information regarding the changes in gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, see “Results of Operations.”

Table of Contents
These changes to operating cash flows were offset by the following:

General and administrative expenses excluding unit-based compensation decreased $17.0$2.6 million primarily due to higher transaction costs related to the Mergerreductions in January 2019. For more information, see “Results of Operations.”

Operating expenses excluding unit-based compensation decreased $15.7 million primarily due to a reductionworkforce in operations. For more information, see “Results of Operations.”April 2020.

The changes in working capital for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 20192020 were primarily due to fluctuations in trade receivable and payable balances due to timing of collection and payments, changes in inventory balances attributable to normal operating fluctuations, and fluctuations in accrued revenue and accrued cost of sales.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $115.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $241.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020. Investing cash flows are primarily related to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures decreased from $241.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $112.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2020 to $23.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to reduced capital spending plans for 2020.the completion of major projects in 2020 and the timing of 2021 projects, which is more heavily weighted in the subsequent quarters of 2021.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $173.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and net cash provided by financing activities was $114.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and net cash used in financing activities was $122.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019.2020.

Capital Requirements. We expect our remaining 20202021 capital expenditures, including capital contributions to our unconsolidated affiliate investments, to be approximately $100$92 million to $160$132 million, which is net of approximately $10$3 million to $40$5 million from our joint venture partners. Our primary capital projects for the remainder of 20202021 include the construction of the Tiger Plant in the Delaware Basin and continued development of our existing systems. See “Recent Developments” for further details.systems through well connects and other low-cost development projects. Additionally, we expect our remaining 2021 operating expenses related to the relocation of equipment and facilities previously associated with the Battle Ridge processing plant in Central Oklahoma to the Permian Basin to be approximately $17 million. These expenses are treated as an operating expense under GAAP and, therefore, are not included in our expected remaining 2021 capital expenditures.

We expect to fund capital expenditures from operating cash flows and capital contributions by joint venture partners that relate to the non-controlling interest share of our consolidated entities. In 2020,2021, it is possible that not all of our planned projects will be commenced or completed. Our ability to pay distributions to our unitholders, to fund planned capital expenditures, and to make acquisitions will depend upon our future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in the industry, financial, business, and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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

Comprehensive financial reform legislation was signed into law by the President on July 21, 2010. The legislation calls for the CFTC to regulate certain markets for derivative products, including OTC derivatives. The CFTC has issued several relevant regulations, and other rulemakings are pending at the CFTC, the product of which would be rules that implement the mandates in the legislation to cause significant portions of derivatives markets to clear through clearinghouses. While some of these rules have been finalized, some have not, and, as a result, the final form and timing of the implementation of the regulatory regime affecting commodity derivatives remains uncertain.

In particular, on October 18, 2011, the CFTC adopted final rules under the Dodd-Frank Act establishing position limits for certain energy commodity futures and options contracts and economically equivalent swaps, futures and options. The position limit levels set the maximum amount of covered contracts that a trader may own or control separately or in combination, net long or short. The final rules also contained limited exemptions from position limits which would be phased in over time for certain bona fide hedging transactions and positions. The CFTC’s original position limits rule was challenged in court by two
46

Table of Contents
industry associations and was vacated and remanded by a federal district court. The CFTC proposed new rules in JanuaryFebruary 2020 (withdrawing previously proposed rules from November 2013 and December 2016)rules) that would place limits on positions in certain core futures and equivalent swaps contracts for or linked to certain physical commodities, subject to exceptions for certain bona fide hedging transactions. The CFTC sought comment onadopted the position limitsproposed rules, as reproposed and revised, but the new rules have not yet been issued in final form, and the impact of any final provisions on us is uncertain at this time.with certain modifications, effective March 2021.

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

Commodity Price Risk

We are subject to risks due to fluctuations in commodity prices. Approximately 89%82% of our adjusted gross operating margin for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 was generated from arrangements with fee-based structures with minimal direct commodity price exposure. Our exposure to these commodity price fluctuations is primarily in the gas processing component of our business. We currently process gasearn adjusted gross margin under four main types of contractual arrangements (or a combination of these types of contractual arrangements) as summarized below.

1.Fee-based contracts. Under fee-based contracts, we earn our fees through (1) stated fixed-fee arrangements in which we are paid a fixed fee per unit of volume processed or (2) arrangements where we purchase and resell commodities in connection with providing the related processing service and earn a net margin through a fee-like deduction subtracted from the purchase price of the commodities. We may also purchase and resell commodities in arrangements under which we are subject to commodity price fluctuations. Although historically this has not been a material component of our adjusted gross margin, Winter Storm Uri caused sudden and significant price and volume fluctuations that resulted in increased adjusted gross margin that is exposed to commodity price fluctuations. For more information on Winter Storm Uri and its impact on the Company, see the discussion at “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments Affecting Industry Conditions and Our Business—Winter Storm Uri” in this Report. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, approximately 17% of our adjusted gross margin was generated from purchase and resell arrangements under which we are subject to commodity price fluctuations. This amount was substantially offset by derivative losses.

Table of Contents
2.Processing margin contracts. Under these contracts, we pay the producer for the full amount of inlet gas to the plant, and we make a margin based on the difference between the value of liquids recovered from the processed natural gas as compared to the value of the natural gas volumes lost and the cost of fuel used in processing. The shrink and fuel losses are referred to as plant thermal reduction, or PTR. Our margins from these contracts are high during periods of high liquids prices relative to natural gas prices and can be negative during periods of high natural gas prices relative to liquids prices. However, we mitigate our risk of processing natural gas when margins are negative primarily through our ability to bypass processing when it is not profitable for us or by contracts that revert to a minimum fee for processing if the natural gas must be processed to meet pipeline quality specifications. For the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, less than 1% of our adjusted gross operating margin was generated from processing margin contracts.

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

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, approximately 4%1% of our adjusted gross operating margin was generated from POL or POP contracts.

Our primary commodity risk management objective is to reduce volatility in our cash flows. We maintain a risk management committee, including members of senior management, which oversees all hedging activity. We enter into hedges for natural gas, crude and condensate, and NGLs using OTC derivative financial instruments with only certain well-capitalized counterparties which have been approved in accordance with our commodity risk management policy.

Table of Contents
We have hedged our exposure to fluctuations in prices for natural gas, NGLs, and crude oil volumes produced for our account. We have tailored our hedges to generally match the product composition and the delivery points to those of our physical equity volumes. The hedges cover specific products based upon our expected equity composition.

The following table sets forth certain information related to derivative instruments outstanding at March 31, 2020 mitigating2021. These derivative instruments mitigate the risks associated with the gas processing and fractionation components of our business. The relevant payment index price for liquids is the monthly average of the daily closing price for deliveries of commodities into Mont Belvieu, Texas as reported by Oil Price Information Service. The relevant index price for natural gas is Henry Hub Gas Daily as defined by the pricing dates in the swap contracts.

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

Table of Contents
The use of financial instruments may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances when (1) sales volumes are less than expected requiring market purchases to meet commitments or (2) counterparties fail to purchase the contracted quantities of natural gas or otherwise fail to perform. To the extent that we engage in hedging activities, we may be prevented from realizing the benefits of favorable price changes in the physical market. However, we are similarly insulated against unfavorable changes in such prices.
 
As of March 31, 2020,2021, outstanding natural gas swap agreements, NGL swap agreements, swing swap agreements, storage swap agreements, and other derivative instruments had a net fair value assetliability of $21.4$10.0 million. The aggregate effect of a hypothetical 10% change, increase or decrease, in gas, crude and condensate, and NGL prices would result in a change of approximately $5.5$14.9 million in the net fair value of these contracts as of March 31, 2020.2021. 

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk on the Consolidated Credit Facility, the Term Loan, and the Term Loan.AR Facility. At March 31, 2020,2021, we had $550.0$350.0 million and $850.0$150.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan and the AR Facility, respectively. At March 31, 2021, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Consolidated Credit Facility and the Term Loan, respectively. Facility.

In April 2019, we entered into $850.0 million of interest rate swaps to reduce the variability of cash outflows associated with interest payments related to our long-term debt with variable interest rates. These swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges. In December 2020, in connection with the partial repayment of the Term Loan, we terminated $500.0 million of the $850.0 million interest rate swaps. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 12”11” for more information on our outstanding derivatives.

A 1.0% increase or decrease in interest rates would change our annualized interest expense by approximately $5.5$3.5 million and $8.5$1.5 million for the Consolidated Credit FacilityTerm Loan and the Term Loan,AR Facility, respectively. This change in interest expense would be partially offset by an $8.5a $3.5 million change related to our open interest rate swap hedge.

We are not exposed to changes in interest rates with respect to ENLK’s senior unsecured notes due in 2024, 2025, 2026, 2044, 2045, or 2047 or our senior unsecured notes due in 2028 and 2029 as these are fixed-rate obligations. As of March 31, 2020,2021, the estimated fair value of the senior unsecured notes was approximately $1,621.6$3,707.7 million, based on the market prices of ENLK’s and our publicly traded debt at March 31, 2020.2021. Market risk is estimated as the potential decrease in fair value of our long-term debt resulting from a hypothetical increase of 1.0% in interest rates. Such an increase in interest rates would result in an

approximate $79.3$230.3 million decrease in fair value of the senior unsecured notes at March 31, 2020.2021. See “Item 1. Financial Statements—Note 6”5” for more information on our outstanding indebtedness.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a.Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management of the Managing Member is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting for us. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of EnLink Midstream Manager, LLC,the Managing Member, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report (March 31, 2020)2021), our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time period specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including theour Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

b.Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the three months ended March 31, 20202021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Except as set forth below, informationInformation about risk factors does not differ materially from that set forth in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, which the World Health Organization declared as a pandemic on March 11, 2020, has reached more than 200 countries and has continued to be a rapidly evolving situation. The pandemic has resulted in widespread adverse impacts on the global economy, the energy industry as a whole and on midstream companies, and on our employees, customers, suppliers, and other parties with whom we have business relations. The pandemic and related travel and operational restrictions, as well as business closures and curtailed consumer activity, have resulted in a significant reduction in global demand for crude oil, condensate, natural gas, and NGLs. For example, global demand for oil has dropped by nearly one-third since mid-February. The decline in demand has been met with a decline in the market price for these commodities, particularly for crude oil, and especially following the announcement by Saudi Arabia of a significant increase in its maximum crude oil production capacity, as well as the announcement by Russia that previously agreed upon oil production cuts between members of OPEC+ would expire. On April 12, 2020, members of OPEC+ agreed to certain production cuts; however, these cuts are not expected to be enough to offset near-term demand loss attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, crude oil stockpiles and the decision of end users, such as refineries, not to take a normal level of crude oil shipments has led to a severe and growing shortage of storage capacity for oil and significantly higher costs for available storage. In the case of the oil markets, both the decline in demand and storage concerns have caused the price of oil to reach historic lows.

As a result of the supply/demand imbalance, reduced commodity prices, limited storage capacity and an uncertain timeline for recovery, oil and gas producers, including our customers, have sharply curtailed their current drilling and production activity as well as their plans for future drilling and production activity. As a result of these decreases in producer activity, our business and financial results have been adversely affected and will likely continue to be adversely affected until the markets for these commodities recover and producers elect to expand their production activities. For example, since mid-March, we have experienced reduced volumes gathered, processed, fractionated, and transported on our assets as a result of reduced production from the regions that supply our systems. In addition, available storage for crude oil is expected to be increasingly limited and costly for the foreseeable future, which would also have a negative impact on our customers’ ability to store crude oil during this period of reduced demand. If our producer customers are unable to store crude oil at reasonable prices, or the market prices our customers receive for their production stays at low levels for a prolonged period or declines even further, our customers could reduce their production levels or shut-in producing wells until storage is available and/or market prices recover. Consequently, our future business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows (including our ability to make distributions to our unitholders) could be materially and adversely affected.

There is considerable uncertainty regarding the extent to which COVID-19 will continue to spread and the extent and duration of governmental and other measures implemented to try to slow the spread of the virus, such as large-scale travel bans and restrictions, border closures, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business and government shutdowns. As a result, there is significant uncertainty regarding how long the market dislocations will continue and how long they will continue to affect us.

We have modified certain business and workforce practices (including discontinuing all non-essential business travel, implementing a temporary work-from-home policy for employees who can execute their work remotely, and encouraging employees to adhere to local and regional social distancing recommendations) to conform to government restrictions and best practices encouraged by governmental and regulatory authorities. However, the quarantine of personnel or the inability to access our facilities or customer sites could adversely affect our operations. Also, we have a limited number of highly skilled employees for some of our operations. If a large proportion of our employees in those critical positions were to contract COVID-19 at the same time, we would rely upon our business continuity plans in an effort to continue operations at our systems, pipelines, and facilities, but there is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the adverse impact to our operations that could result from shortages of highly skilled employees.

Although we do not have plans to access the capital markets in 2020, to the extent that we need to seek external funding for our operations and COVID-19 adversely affects our ability to access the capital and other financial markets, as a result of credit rating downgrades or otherwise, we may need to consider alternative sources of funding for some of our operations and for working capital, which may increase our cost of, as well as adversely impact our access to, capital. These uncertain economic conditions may also result in the inability of our customers and other counterparties to make payments to us, on a timely basis or at all, which could adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows (including our ability to make distributions to our unitholders and noteholders). A substantial deterioration in our business and/or a prolonged period of market dislocation could also affect our compliance with the financial covenants in our Consolidated Credit Facility, particularly the consolidated leverage ratio covenant. The leverage ratio covenant requires that we maintain a leverage ratio of no more than 5.0x at the end of any fiscal quarter. At March 31, 2020, our ratio was 4.6x. If we were unable to continue to meet any of the financial covenants, we would not be able to borrow funds under our Consolidated Credit Facility and we would not be able to use the Consolidated Credit Facility to refinance our $850 million Term Loan in 2021.

We cannot predict the full impact that COVID-19 or the significant disruption and volatility currently being experienced in the oil and natural gas markets will have on our business, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows (including our ability to make distributions to our unitholders) at this time, due to numerous uncertainties. The ultimate impacts will depend on future developments, including, among others, the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the consequences of governmental and other measures designed to prevent the spread of the virus or its affects, the development of effective treatments, the duration of the outbreak, actions taken by members of OPEC+ and other foreign, oil-exporting countries, actions taken by governmental authorities, customers, suppliers, and other third parties, workforce availability, and the timing and extent to which normal economic and operating conditions resume and whether the virus causes structural shifts in the global economy and the demand for oil and natural gas as a result of changes in the way people work, travel, and interact.2020.
