CRESTWOOD MIDSTREAM PARTNERS LP (FORMERLY INERGY MIDSTREAM, L.P.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Business Description
Crestwood Midstream Partners LP (the Company or Crestwood) is a publicly-traded (NYSE: CMLP) Delaware limited partnership that provides midstream solutions to customers in the crude oil, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and natural gas sectors of the energy industry. We are engaged primarily in the gathering, processing, storage and transportation of natural gas and NGLs and the gathering, storage and transportation of crude oil.
As of March 31, 2014, our general partner, Crestwood Equity Partners LP (CEQP), owns our non-economic general partnership interest, approximately 4% of our common units representing limited partnership interests and 100% of our incentive distribution rights (IDRs), which entitle CEQP to receive 50% of all distributions paid to our common unit holders in excess of our initial quarterly distributions of $0.37 per common unit. CEQP is indirectly owned by Crestwood Holdings LLC (Crestwood Holdings), which is substantially owned and controlled by First Reserve Management, L.P. (First Reserve) and which owns approximately 11% of our common units as of March 31, 2014.
Our financial statements reflect three operating and reporting segments, including:
| |
• | Gathering and Processing: our gathering and processing (G&P) operations provide natural gas gathering, processing, treating, compression, transportation services and sales of natural gas and the delivery of NGLs to producers in unconventional shale plays and tight-gas plays in West Virginia, Wyoming, Texas, Arkansas, New Mexico and Louisiana. This segment primarily includes our rich gas gathering systems and processing plants in the Marcellus, Powder River Basin (PRB) Niobrara, Barnett, and Permian Shale plays, and our dry gas gathering systems in the Barnett, Fayetteville, and Haynesville Shale plays; |
| |
• | Storage and Transportation: our storage and transportation operations provide regulated natural gas storage and transportation services to producers, utilities and other customers. This segment primarily includes our natural gas storage facilities (Stagecoach, Thomas Corners, Steuben and Seneca Lake) and natural gas transmission facilities (the North-South Facilities, the MARC I Pipeline and the East Pipeline) in New York and Pennsylvania; and |
| |
• | NGL and Crude Services: our NGL and crude services operations provide gathering, storage and transportation services to producers, refiners, marketers and other customers in or near unconventional shale plays in North Dakota and New York. This segment primarily includes our integrated Bakken crude oil footprint in North Dakota, which consists of (i) the COLT Hub, a crude oil rail loading and storage terminal, (ii) the Arrow crude oil, natural gas and water gathering systems, and (iii) our fleet of over-the-road crude and produced water transportation assets. This segment also includes our Bath storage facility, an NGL underground storage facility in New York, and US Salt, a solution-mining and salt production company in New York. |
On October 7, 2013, we changed our name from Inergy Midstream, L.P. to Crestwood Midstream Partners LP. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “ours,” “our company,” the “partnership,” the “Company,” “Crestwood” and similar terms refer to either Crestwood Midstream Partners LP itself or Crestwood Midstream Partners LP and its consolidated subsidiaries, as the context requires. Unless otherwise indicated, references to (i) the Crestwood Merger refers to the October 7, 2013 merger of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary with and into Legacy Crestwood, with Legacy Inergy continuing as the surviving legal entity; (ii) Legacy Crestwood refers to either Crestwood Midstream Partners LP itself or Crestwood Midstream Partners LP and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Crestwood Merger; and (iii) Legacy Inergy refers to either Inergy Midstream, L.P. itself or Inergy Midstream, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the Crestwood Merger. See Note 4 for additional information on the Crestwood Merger.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements were originally the financial statements of Legacy Crestwood, prior to the Crestwood Merger and the merger of Legacy Crestwood with and into Legacy Inergy on October 7, 2013 as discussed above. Crestwood Holdings acquisition of control of CEQP’s general partner on June 19, 2013 was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with accounting standards for business combinations. CEQP’s accounting for this reverse acquisition resulted in the legal acquiree (Crestwood Gas Services GP LLC) being the acquirer for accounting purposes. CEQP’s accounting acquiree (Inergy, inclusive of Inergy Midstream) was subject to the purchase method of accounting and its balance sheet was adjusted to fair market value as of June 19, 2013. Accordingly, the merger of Legacy Crestwood and Inergy Midstream on October 7, 2013 was accounted for as a reverse merger amongst entities under common control. Although Legacy Crestwood was the surviving entity for accounting purposes, Inergy Midstream was the surviving entity for legal purposes, and consequently we changed our name from Inergy Midstream, L.P. to Crestwood Midstream Partners LP.
The financial information as of March 31, 2014, and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, is unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, was derived from the audited balance sheet filed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with US GAAP and include the accounts of all consolidated subsidiaries after the elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. In management’s opinion, all necessary adjustments to fairly present our results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been made and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, we began recording our operating and administrative expenses as operations and maintenance expenses and general and administrative expenses. In addition, we also reclassified our income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to reflect this change. This change had no impact on our previously reported net income, earnings per unit or partners' capital.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 28, 2014.
Significant Accounting Policies
There were no material changes in our significant accounting policies from those described in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and no significant accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted as of March 31, 2014.

On March 21, 2014, we purchased substantially all of the operating assets of Red Rock Transportation Inc. (Red Rock) for approximately $14.1 million, comprised of $12.1 million paid at closing plus deferred payments of $2.0 million. Red Rock is a trucking operation located in Watford City, North Dakota which provides crude oil and produced water hauling services to the oilfields of western North Dakota and eastern Montana. The acquired assets include a fleet of approximately 56 trailer tanks, 22 double bottom body tanks and 44 tractors with more than 25,000 barrels per day of crude hauling capacity. We allocated approximately $10.9 million of the purchase price to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets and approximately $3.2 million to goodwill. These assets are included in our NGL and crude services segment.

2013 Acquisitions
Crestwood Merger
As described in Note 2, the merger of Legacy Crestwood with and into Legacy Inergy was accounted for as a reverse merger amongst entities under common control. This accounting treatment requires the accounting acquiree (Legacy Inergy) to have its assets and liabilities stated at fair value as well as any other purchase accounting adjustments as of June 19, 2013, the date in which Legacy Crestwood and Legacy Inergy came under common control. The fair value of Legacy Inergy was calculated based on the consolidated enterprise fair value of Legacy Inergy as of June 19, 2013. This consolidated enterprise fair value considered the discounted future cash flows of Legacy Inergy's operations and Legacy Inergy's NYSE-listed stock price, the value of its outstanding senior notes based on quoted market prices for same or similar issuances and the value of its outstanding floating rate debt.
The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the merger date (in millions): |
| | | |
Current assets | $ | 49.1 |
|
Property, plant and equipment | 1,677.8 |
|
Intangible assets | 196.0 |
|
Other assets | 2.9 |
|
Total identifiable assets acquired | 1,925.8 |
|
| |
Current liabilities | 30.9 |
|
Long-term debt | 745.0 |
|
Other long-term liabilities | 5.3 |
|
Total liabilities assumed | 781.2 |
|
| |
Net identifiable assets acquired | 1,144.6 |
|
Goodwill | 1,537.7 |
|
Net assets acquired | $ | 2,682.3 |
|
Of the $1,537.7 million of goodwill, $809.1 million is reflected in our NGL and crude services segment and $728.6 million is reflected in our storage and transportation segment. Goodwill recognized relates primarily to synergies and new expansion opportunities expected to result from the combination of Legacy Inergy and Legacy Crestwood.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
The following table represents the pro forma consolidated statement of operations as if the Legacy Inergy reverse merger and the Arrow Acquisition had been included in our consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 (in millions, except per unit information).

Net income per limited partner unit(a): | |
Basic | $ | 0.09 |
|
Diluted | $ | 0.09 |
|
(a) Basic and diluted net income per limited partner unit for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were computed based on the number of Legacy Inergy common units outstanding plus the number of common units issued by Legacy Inergy to Legacy Crestwood unitholders as part of the Crestwood Merger and the number of units issued in conjunction with the Arrow Acquisition.
These amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of the acquisitions to reflect the depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the preliminary fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets had been made at the beginning of the respective reporting period. The purchase price allocation for the reverse merger of Legacy Inergy and the Arrow Acquisition has been prepared on a preliminary basis pending final asset valuation and asset rationalization, and changes are expected when additional information becomes available. Accordingly, the purchase accounting adjustments made in connection with the development of the unaudited pro forma are preliminary and subject to change.

Note 5 - Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates
Jackalope Gas Gathering Services, L.L.C.
Crestwood Niobrara LLC (Crestwood Niobrara), our consolidated subsidiary, owns a 50% ownership interest in Jackalope Gas Gathering Services, L.L.C. (Jackalope) which we account for under the equity method of accounting. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Crestwood Niobrara contributed $17.3 million to Jackalope to fund its construction projects.
Our investment in Jackalope was $144.8 million and $127.2 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. We have reflected the earnings from our investment in Jackalope in our consolidated statements of income, which includes our share of net earnings based on our ownership interest and other adjustments recorded by us as discussed below. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our share of Jackalope’s net earnings was approximately $1.1 million. As of March 31, 2014, our investment balance in Jackalope exceeded our equity in the underlying net assets of Jackalope by approximately $56.0 million. We amortize and generally assess the recoverability of this amount based on the life of Jackalope’s gathering agreement with Chesapeake Energy Corporation (Chesapeake) and RKI Exploration and Production, LLC (RKI). The amortization is reflected as reduction of our earnings from unconsolidated affiliates, and during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded amortization expense of approximately $0.8 million.
Jackalope is required to make quarterly distributions of its available cash to its members based on their respective ownership percentage. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Jackalope did not make any distributions to its members.
Our Jackalope investment is included in our gathering and processing segment.
Powder River Basin Industrial Complex, LLC
Crestwood Crude Logistics LLC (Crude Logistics), our consolidated subsidiary, owns a 50% ownership interest in Powder River Basin Industrial Complex, LLC (PRBIC) which we account for under the equity method of accounting.

Our investment in PRBIC was $26.3 million and $24.2 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our share of PRBIC’s loss was approximately $0.4 million. As of March 31, 2014, our investment balance in PRBIC approximated our equity in the underlying net assets of PRBIC.
PRBIC is required to make quarterly distributions of its available cash to its members based on their respective ownership percentage. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, PRBIC did not make any distributions to its members.
Our PRBIC investment is included in our NGL and crude services segment.
Note 6 - Earnings Per Limited Partner Unit
Prior to the Crestwood Merger, net income attributable to Legacy Crestwood was allocated to the general partner and the limited partners in accordance with their respective ownership percentages, after giving effect to incentive distributions earned by the general partner. To the extent cash distributions exceeded net income attributable to Legacy Crestwood, the excess distributions were allocated proportionately to all participating units outstanding based on their respective ownership percentages. As a result of the Crestwood Merger, CEQP, which owns our general partner, owns a non-economic general partner interest in us and 100% of our IDRs. We allocate net income attributable to CMLP to our limited partners after giving effect to the IDRs earned by CEQP.
Basic earnings per unit are calculated using the two-class method. Diluted earnings per unit are computed using the treasury stock method, which considers the impact to net income attributable to CMLP and limited partner units from the potential issuance of limited partner units as discussed below. The weighted average number of units outstanding is calculated based on the presumption that the number of common units issued by Legacy Inergy to Legacy Crestwood unitholders as part of the Crestwood Merger were outstanding for the entire period prior to Crestwood Merger.

We exclude potentially dilutive securities from the determination of diluted earnings per unit (as well as their related income statement impacts) when their impact on net income attributable to CMLP per limited partner unit is anti-dilutive. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we excluded 4,922,372 common units, representing Crestwood Niobrara's preferred units if converted to common units, from our diluted earnings per unit. There were no units excluded from our dilutive earnings per share as we did not have any anti-dilutive units for the three months ended March 31, 2013. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the potential conversion of the preferred security units to common units.
Note 7 - Financial Instruments
Fair Value
We separate the fair values of our financial instruments into three levels (Levels 1, 2 and 3) based on our assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine fair value. Our assessment and classification of an instrument within a level can change over time based on the maturity or liquidity of the instruments and would be reflected at the end of the period in which the change occurs. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no changes to the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value, the types of instruments, or the levels in which they are classified.
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable represent fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of our credit facilities approximated their carrying amounts as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 due primarily to the variable nature of the interest rate of the instruments, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Credit Facility
We have a five-year $1 billion senior secured revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility), which is available to fund acquisitions, working capital and internal growth projects and for general partnership purposes. The Credit Facility includes a sub-limit up to $25 million for same-day swing line advances and a sub-limit up to $250 million for letters of credit. Subject to limited exception, the credit facility is secured by substantially all of the equity interests and assets of our restricted domestic subsidiaries, and is joint and severally guaranteed by substantially all of our restricted domestic subsidiaries.
At March 31, 2014, the balance outstanding on the Credit Facility was $532.1 million and outstanding standby letters of credit amounted to $31.4 million. As a result, we had $436.5 million of remaining capacity under the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2014, subject to compliance with any applicable covenants under our credit agreement. The weighted-average interest rate as of March 31, 2014 was 5.71%.
We are required under our credit agreement to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in our credit agreement) of not more than 5.00 (subject to, at our election, a consolidated net leverage ratio of not more than 5.50 to 1.0 during certain periods following certain material acquisitions as further described in our credit agreement) to 1.0 and an interest coverage ratio (as defined in our credit agreement) of not less than 2.50 to 1.0.
At March 31, 2014, we elected to use a consolidated net leverage ratio of 5.50 to 1.0. Our total funded debt to consolidated EBITDA was approximately 5.06 to 1.0 and consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense was approximately 3.61 to 1.0 at March 31, 2014.

Preferred Equity of Subsidiary
Crestwood Niobrara issued a preferred interest to a subsidiary of General Electric Capital Corporation and GE Structured Finance, Inc. (collectively, GE) in conjunction with the acquisition of its investment in Jackalope. The preferred interest is reflected as non-controlling interest in our consolidated financial statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we allocated approximately $3.1 million of net income to the non-controlling interest, which was based on the overall return attributable to the preferred security.
Crestwood Niobrara will fund 75% of future capital contributions to Jackalope through additional preferred interest issuances to GE (up to a maximum of an additional $41.6 million as of March 31, 2014), with the remainder to be funded through our capital contributions to Crestwood Niobrara. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, GE EFS made a capital contribution of $12.3 million to Crestwood Niobrara in exchange for an equivalent number of preferred units. Through March 31, 2014, GE has made capital contributions totaling $108.4 million.
Crestwood Niobrara has the option to pay distributions to GE with cash or by issuing additional preferred units through the January 2015 distribution. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, Crestwood Niobrara issued 2,210,294 preferred units to GE in lieu of paying a cash distribution. We serve as the managing member of Crestwood Niobrara and, subject to certain restrictions, we have the ability to redeem GE’s preferred interest in either cash or our common units at an amount equal to the face amount of the preferred units plus an applicable return. On April 30, 2014, Crestwood Niobrara issued 2,536,010 preferred units to GE in lieu of paying a cash distribution.
Note 9 - Long-Term Incentive Plan
Long-term incentive awards are granted under the Crestwood Midstream Partners LP Long Term Incentive Plan (Crestwood LTIP) (formerly the Inergy Midstream, L.P. Long Term Incentive Plan) in order to align the economic interests of key employees and directors with those of CMLP's common unitholders and to provide an incentive for continuous employment. Long-term incentive compensation consist solely of grants of restricted common units (which represent limited partner interests of CMLP) which vest based upon continued service.
On January 17, 2014, we issued restricted unit awards, which were approved by the CMLP Board's compensation committee, to certain key employees. The awards consisted of an annual award based on a percentage of each recipient's annual salary, and a one-time bridge award designed to provide an additional base award to certain key employees with no remaining unvested awards given that their previously accumulated equity ownership in Legacy Inergy and Legacy Crestwood vested as a result of the change of control with the Crestwood Merger. Both of these awards vest upon continued service.
The following table summarizes information regarding restricted unit activity during the three months ended March 31, 2014:
|
| | | | | | | |
| | Units | | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value |
Unvested - January 1, 2014 | | 250,557 |

|
As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had total unamortized compensation expense of approximately $16.4 million and $1.8 million related to restricted units, which we expect will be amortized during the next three years (or sooner in certain cases, which generally represents the original vesting period of these instruments), except for grants to non-employee directors of our general partner, which vest over one year. We recognized compensation expense of approximately $2.9 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, which is included in general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations. An additional $1.7 million of net compensation expense was allocated from CEQP to CMLP during the three months ended March 31, 2014 (see Note 11). The compensation expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was related to the Legacy Crestwood long-term incentive plan. We granted restricted units with a grant date fair value of approximately $17.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2014, we had 6,391,871 units available for issuance under the Crestwood LTIP.

Under the Crestwood LTIP, participants who have been granted restricted units may elect to have us withhold common units to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding obligations arising in connection with the vesting of non-vested common units. Any such common units withheld are returned to the Crestwood LTIP on the applicable vesting dates, which correspond to the times at which income is recognized by the employee. When we withhold these common units, we are required to remit to the appropriate taxing authorities the fair value of the units withheld as of the vesting date. The number of units withheld is determined based on the closing price per common unit as reported on the NYSE on such dates. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we withheld 7,456 common units and 1,529 common units to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations.

Legal Proceedings
Class Action Lawsuits. Five putative class action lawsuits challenging the Crestwood Merger were filed, four in federal court in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas: (i) Abraham Knoll v. Robert G. Phillips, et al. (Case No. 4:13-cv-01528, filed May 23, 2013); (ii) Greg Podell v. Crestwood Midstream Partners, LP, et al. (Case No. 4:13-cv-01599, filed May 30, 2013); (iii) Johnny Cooper v. Crestwood Midstream Partners LP, et al. (Case No. 4:13-cv-01660, filed June 7, 2013), subsequently replaced as named plaintiff in this action by Linda Giaimo; and (iv) Steven Elliot LLC v. Robert G. Phillips, et al. (Case No. 4:13-cv-01763, June 17, 2013), and one in the Delaware Court of Chancery: Hawley v. Crestwood Midstream Partners LP, et al. (Case No. 8689-VCL, filed June 27, 2013). All the cases named Legacy Crestwood (since merged with the Company), Crestwood Gas Services GP LLC, Crestwood Holdings LLC, the current and former directors of Crestwood Gas Services GP LLC, CEQP, the Company, Crestwood Midstream GP LLC (formerly NRGM GP, LLC), and Intrepid Merger Sub, LLC as defendants. All of the suits were brought by purported holders of common units of Legacy Crestwood, both individually and on behalf of a putative class consisting of holders of common units of Legacy Crestwood. The lawsuits generally alleged, among other things, that the directors of Crestwood Gas Services GP LLC breached their fiduciary duties to holders of common units of Legacy Crestwood by agreeing to a transaction with inadequate consideration and unfair terms and pursuant to an inadequate process. The lawsuits further alleged that CEQP, the Company, Crestwood Midstream GP LLC, and Intrepid Merger Sub, LLC aided and abetted the Legacy Crestwood directors in the alleged breach of their fiduciary duties. The lawsuits sought, in general, (i) injunctive relief enjoining the merger, (ii) in the event the merger is consummated, rescission or an award of rescissory damages, (iii) an award of plaintiffs’ costs, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, (iv) the accounting by the defendants to plaintiffs for all damages caused by the defendants, and (v) such further equitable relief as the court deems just and proper. The four federal actions also asserted claims of inadequate disclosure under Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Elliot case also named Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as an alleged aider and abettor. The plaintiff in the Hawley action in Delaware filed a motion for expedited proceedings but subsequently withdrew that motion and then filed a stipulation voluntarily dismissing the action without prejudice, which has been granted by the Court, such that the Hawley action has now been dismissed. The plaintiff in the Elliot action filed a motion for expedited discovery, which was denied by the Court. The plaintiffs in the Knoll, Podell, Cooper, and Elliot actions filed an unopposed motion to consolidate these four cases, which the Court granted and captioned the consolidated matter as In re Crestwood Midstream Partners Unitholder Litigation, Lead Case No. 4:13-cv-01528 (the “Consolidated Action”). The plaintiffs entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on September 24, 2013 to settle the Consolidated Action whereby the defendants denied liability. The settlement contemplated by the MOU is subject to a number of conditions, including notice to the class and final court approval following completion of a settlement hearing, which is scheduled for May 16, 2014. The defendants expect the Court to approve the final settlement. The anticipated settlement of the MOU will not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Arrow Acquisition Class Action Lawsuit. Prior to the completion of the Arrow Acquisition on November 8, 2013, a train transporting over 50,000 barrels of crude oil produced in North Dakota derailed in Lac Megantic, Quebec, Canada on July 6, 2013. The derailment resulted in the death of 47 people, injured numerous others, and caused severe damage to property and the environment. In October 2013, certain individuals suffering harm in the derailment filed a motion to certify a class action lawsuit in the Superior Court for the District of Megantic, Province of Quebec, Canada, on behalf of all persons suffering loss in the derailment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In March 2014, the plaintiffs filed their fourth amended motion to name Arrow and numerous other energy companies as additional defendants in the class action lawsuit. The plaintiffs have named at least 53 defendants purportedly involved in the events leading up to the derailment, including the producers and sellers of the crude being transported, the midstream companies that transported the crude from the well head to the rail system, the manufacturers of the rail cars used to transport the crude, the railroad companies involved, the insurers of these companies, and the Canadian Attorney General. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that Arrow (i) was a producer of the crude oil being transported on the derailed train, (ii) was negligent in failing to properly classify the crude delivered to the trucks that hauled the crude to rail loading terminal, and (iii) owed a duty to the petitioners to ensure the safe transportation of the crude being transported. The motion to authorize the class action will be heard in June 2014. We believe the claims against us are without merit and will vigorously defend ourselves and oppose the motion for class action. Moreover, to the extent this action proceeds, we believe we have meritorious defenses to the claims. Because this litigation is in the early stages of the proceeding, we are unable to estimate a reasonably possible loss or range of loss in this matter. We have also notified our insurance company of the claim.
We are periodically involved in litigation proceedings. If we determine that a negative outcome is probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable, then we accrue the estimated amount. The results of litigation proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. We could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of certain matters, and such developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the amounts are paid and/or accrued. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had less than $0.1 million accrued for our outstanding legal matters. Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position
both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.
Any loss estimates are inherently subjective, based on currently available information, and are subject to management's judgment and various assumptions. Due to the inherently subjective nature of these estimates and the uncertainty and unpredictability surrounding the outcome of legal proceedings, actual results may differ materially from any amounts that have been accrued.
Regulatory Compliance
In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to various laws and regulations. In the opinion of our management, compliance with current laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Environmental Compliance
Our operations are subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety, and the environment. We are subject to laws and regulations at the federal, state and local levels that relate to air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste management and disposal and other environmental matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing and operating our facilities must incorporate compliance with environmental laws and regulations and safety standards. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures. Our accruals and potential exposures related to our environmental matters were immaterial at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
Contingent Consideration - Antero
In connection with the Antero Acquisition, we agreed to pay Antero conditional consideration in the form of potential additional cash payments of up to $40 million, depending on the achievement of certain defined average annual production levels achieved during 2012, 2013 and 2014. During 2012 and 2013, Antero did not meet the annual production level to earn additional payments. Based on our estimates of Antero’s 2014 production, we believe their production levels will likely exceed the annual production threshold in the earn-out provision and accordingly, we recognized a liability of $33.5 million and $31.4 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 that represents the fair value of the potential payments that may be made under this earn-out provision. We estimated the liability based on the probability-weighted discounted cash flows using a 5.9% discount rate and our estimate of Antero’s production in 2014 (a Level 3 fair value measurement).

Note 11 - Related Party Transactions
CMLP does not have any employees. We share common management, operating and administrative and overhead costs with CEQP. We have an Omnibus Agreement with CEQP that requires us to reimburse CEQP for all shared costs incurred on its behalf, except for certain unit based compensation which are treated as capital transactions. CEQP allocated to us $15.8 million of costs for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Included in this amount was $1.7 million of net unit-based compensation charges. We have an omnibus agreement with CEQP that requires us to reimburse CEQP for all shared costs incurred on its behalf, except for certain unit based compensation costs which are treated as capital transactions. Due to the nature of these shared costs, it is not practicable to estimate what the costs would have been on a stand-alone basis. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed, or the results of operations that would have occurred, if we operated as a stand-alone entity.

Note 12 - Segments
Financial Information
We have three operating and reporting segments; (i) gathering and processing operations; (ii) storage and transportation operations; and (iii) NGL and crude services operations. Our gathering and processing operations engage in the gathering, processing, treating, compression, transportation and sales of natural gas and the delivery of NGLs. Our storage and transportation operations provide regulated natural gas storage and transportations services to producers, utilities and other customers. Our NGL and crude services operations provide gathering, storage and transportation services to producers, refiners, marketers, and other customers that effectively provide flow assurances to our customers, as well as the production and sale of salt products. Our corporate operations include all general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to the reportable segments. We assess the performance of our operating segments based on EBITDA, which represents operating income plus depreciation, amortization and accretion expense.

Major Customers
Three customers, Tesoro Refining & Marketing Company (Tesoro) (17%), QEP Energy Company (QEP) (12%) and WPX Energy Williston, LLC (WPX) (10%), accounted for 10% or more of our total consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014. These customers' revenues are captured in the NGL and crude services segment. Two customers, Quicksilver (35%) and Antero Resources Appalachian Corporation (Antero) (20%), accounted for 10% or more of our total consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013. These customers' revenues are captured in the gathering and processing segment.
Four customers, QEP (17%), XTO Energy, Inc. (XTO) (13%), Halcon Resources Corp. (Halcon) (13%) and WPX (12%), accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated accounts receivable at March 31, 2014. These customers' accounts receivable are captured in the NGL and crude services segment. Three customers, Tesoro (19%), Eighty-Eight Oil LLC (10%) and QEP (10%), accounted for 10% or more of our consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2013.

Note 13 – Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
We are a holding company and own no operating assets and have no significant operations independent of our subsidiaries. Obligations under our Senior Notes and our Credit Facility are jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of our restricted domestic subsidiaries, except for Crestwood Niobrara and PRBIC (Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries). Crestwood Midstream Finance Corp, the co-issuer of our Senior Notes, is our 100% owned subsidiary and has no material assets, operations, revenues or cash flows other than those related to its service as co-issuer of our Senior Notes.
The tables below present condensed consolidating financial statements for us (parent) on a stand-alone, unconsolidated basis, and our combined guarantor and combined non-guarantor subsidiaries as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and for the three months ended March 31, 2014. As discussed in Note 2, the Crestwood Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger between entities under common control, and as such, changes in the composition of guarantors and non-guarantors should be reflected retrospectively based on the guarantor structure that existed as of the end of the most recent balance sheet. Accordingly, we have not reflected condensed consolidating financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2013 because our unrestricted subsidiaries were not formed or were not designated as unrestricted subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Item 2 of this report should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Crestwood Midstream Partners LP for the year ended December 31, 2013.
This report, including information included or incorporated by reference herein, contains forward-looking statements concerning the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of our company and its subsidiaries. These forward-looking statements include:
| |
• | statements that are not historical in nature, including, but not limited to: (i) our expectation that we will complete certain projects, and achieve certain capacity or throughput amounts, by specified target dates; (ii) our assessment of certain developing and emerging shale and tight gas plays, including our estimates of rig activity within certain of these areas; and (iii) our belief that we do not have material potential liability in connection with legal proceedings that would have a significant financial impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; and |
| |
• | statements preceded by, followed by or that contain forward-looking terminology including the words “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend” or the negation thereof, or similar expressions. |
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to, among others, the following factors:
| |
• | our ability to successfully implement our business plan for our assets and operations: |
| |
• | governmental legislation and regulations; |
| |
• | industry factors that influence the supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs; |
| |
• | industry factors that influence the demand for services in the markets (particularly unconventional shale plays) in which we provide services; |
| |
• | the availability of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, and the price of those commodities, to consumers relative to the price of alternative and competing fuels; |
| |
• | costs or difficulties related to the integration of our existing businesses and acquisitions; |
| |
• | operating hazards and other risks incidental to the provision of midstream services, including gathering, compressing, treating, processing, fractionating, transporting and storing crude oil, NGLs and natural gas; |
| |
• | the price and availability of debt and equity financing. |
We have described under Item 1A, Risk Factors, additional factors that could cause actual results to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Other factors that we have not identified in this report could also have this effect.
Our Company
We manage, own and operate crude oil, natural gas and NGL midstream assets and operations. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, we are a fully-integrated midstream solution provider that specializes in connecting shale-based energy supplies to key demand markets. We conduct gathering, processing, storage and transportation operations in the most prolific shale plays across the United States.
Our three business segments include (i) gathering and processing, which includes our natural gas G&P operations; (ii) storage and transportation, which includes our natural gas storage and transportation operations; and (iii) NGL and crude services, which includes our crude oil gathering, storage and transportation operations, NGL storage facility and salt production business.
Gathering and Processing
Our G&P operations provide gathering, compression, treating, and processing services to producers in multiple unconventional resource plays across the United States. We have established footprints in “core of the core” areas of several shale plays with delineated condensate and rich gas windows offering attractive producer economics, while maintaining operations in several prolific dry gas plays.
| |
• | Marcellus Shale. In the rich gas southwest portion of the Marcellus Shale, we have completed several expansions on our Antero gathering systems that have increased total gathering capacity to 700 MMcf/d as of April 1, 2014, compared to actual first quarter volumes of 531 MMcf/d. Additional expansion projects on our Marcellus systems are expected to increase total gathering capacity to approximately 875 MMcf/d and gathering volumes to 750 MMcf/d at year-end 2014. We expect to complete an additional 120 MMcf/d compressor station in Antero's western development area during the second quarter of 2014. We estimate that Antero had 32 drilled but uncompleted wells on pads connected to our gathering system at March 31, 2014. Many of these wells were completed in April, leading to an increase in volumes and we estimate that Antero continues to operate approximately 15 drilling rigs in northern West Virginia. |
| |
• | Powder River Basin (PRB) Niobrara. Expansion of the Jackalope gas gathering system and construction of the 120 MMcf/d Bucking Horse gas processing plant remains on schedule to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2014, gathering volumes on the Jackalope gas gathering system were 53 MMcf/d due to limitations on local processing. We estimate that Chesapeake and RKI have approximately 37 drilled but uncompleted wells available to be connected to the system, and that Chesapeake continues to run approximately three rigs on the 311,000 acre dedication. Under Jackalope’s cost of service gathering agreement, gathering fees have increased in 2014, taking into account the significant capital being invested in the midstream infrastructure. In addition, there has been a considerable increase in rig activity and drilling permits in recent months targeting multiple producing formations such as the Niobrara, Frontier/Turner, Sussex/Shannon and Parkman/Teapot. We are actively working with area producers to develop additional gathering and processing facilities beyond our Jackalope acreage in the region. |
| |
• | Permian Delaware Basin. On April 1, 2014, we announced a Phase 2 expansion of our Willow Lake project to include a 20 MMcf/d cryogenic processing facility and expand our gathering system, anchored by a 10-year fixed-fee gas gathering and processing agreement with Legend Production Holdings, LLC in Eddy County, New Mexico. Construction of the Willow Lake plant remains on schedule for completion in third quarter of 2014 at a cost of approximately $25 million to $30 million. We are also actively working with area producers, targeting the Bone Spring, Avalon and Wolfcamp formations, for a potential Phase 3 expansion and installation of a Delaware Ranch processing plant with a capacity of approximately 120 MMcf/d. The Delaware Ranch Plant is currently owned by us as a result of our 2012 acquisition of Devon’s West Johnson County processing plant located in the Barnett Shale region. These projects support emerging production from one of the most active drilling areas within the region. |
| |
• | Barnett Shale. Our Barnett Shale dry and rich gas gathering systems had a 5% decline in average volumes during the first quarter of 2014. Our primary customer in the Barnett, Quicksilver, has recently resumed drilling activity in the Alliance and Lake Arlington dry gas areas and connected 14 wells in late March 2014. As a result, April 2014 quarter-to-date gathering volumes on the Barnett Shale systems have averaged approximately 440 MMcf/d, approximately 14% higher than the first quarter of 2014 average. |
Storage and Transportation
Our storage and transportation segment consists of our interconnected natural gas storage and transportation assets in the Northeast. We have four natural gas storage facilities (Stagecoach, Thomas Corners, Steuben and Seneca Lake) and three transportation pipelines (North-South Facilities, MARC I and the East Pipeline) located in the Northeast in or near the Marcellus Shale. Our storage facilities provide 41.0 Bcf of firm storage capacity and our transportation assets provide more than 1.0 Bcf/d of firm transportation capacity to producers, utilities, marketers and other customers.
| |
• | Northeast Storage and Transportation. We continued to experience high demand for storage and transportation services during the first quarter of 2014 due to continued growth in Marcellus shale production, sustained colder weather throughout the region, increased volatility and widening of basis differential along our pipeline systems. During the first quarter of 2014, total throughput deliveries (including storage withdrawals plus firm and interruptible transportation services) averaged approximately 1.44 Bcf/d, an increase of 5% from the fourth quarter of 2013, with peak deliveries reaching as high as 1.77 Bcf/d during the quarter. Following a successful open season during the first quarter of 2014, we executed long-term agreements to provide an additional 40,000 dekatherms per day (“Dth/d”) of firm transportation on our North/South facilities and MARC I Pipeline which began on April 1, 2014. We are currently in active negotiations with customers to provide up to an additional 150,000 Dth/d of firm capacity on these systems which is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2015. The additional capacity would be completed through the modification and replacement of an existing compressor unit at the NS -1 station. |
NGL and Crude Services
Our NGL and crude services segment consists of our crude oil gathering systems, rail terminals and other transportation assets, as well as our NGL storage facility and US Salt. We have facilities located in the core of the Bakken Shale, one of the most prolific crude oil shales in North America, and the premium Northeast demand market. We utilize these facilities on a portfolio basis to provide integrated supply and logistics solutions to producers, refiners and other customers.
| |
• | Arrow System (Bakken). We experienced unusually harsh winter weather conditions during the first quarter of 2014 that caused producing wells to be shut-in and that forced producers to delay their drilling and completion schedules (resulting in fewer than anticipated wells being connected to our system). Following the harsh winter in early 2014, average volumes have increased by approximately 12% in April and early May on our Arrow system compared to the first quarter of 2014 and we expect this trend to continue in the second quarter of 2014. In addition, we are adding 200,000 barrels of crude oil storage on the Arrow gathering system, contracting for firm pipeline transport on third party systems that directly connect our Arrow system and our COLT Hub, and have ordered two crude oil unit trains, which we expect to receive in the first quarter of 2015. |
| |
• | COLT Hub (Bakken). We substantially completed the COLT Hub expansion project (including expansion of rail loading capacity to 160,000 Bbls/d and adding 480,000 barrels of storage) in the first quarter of 2014 and have sinced experienced daily loading volumes in excess of the first quarter average volumes (as high as 150,000 Bbls/d) in the second quarter. New long-term agreements with BP Products North America, Inc. and Statoil Marketing & Trading in 2014, which were effective April 1, 2014, further support the COLT expansion. We expect to complete the installation of new release and departure track at the COLT Hub in the third quarter of 2014, which will provide greater operational flexibility to our customers and the BNSF Railroad and consequently improve utilization rates. |
| |
• | Transportation Fleet (Bakken). On March 21, 2014, we acquired a crude oil and produced water transportation fleet based in Watford City, North Dakota, which added capacity for approximately 22,000 Bbls/d of crude oil and water truck transportation volumes. We expect this transportation fleet acquisition to (i) further expand the menu of integrated takeaway solutions that we are able to offer to Bakken producers, (ii) provide greater crude marketing opportunities for us in the region, and (iii) provide opportunities to transport water volumes being produced by our Arrow customers until we are able to increase pipeline takeaway capacity on the Arrow system. |
Regulatory Matters
In addition, we are experiencing greater regulatory challenges relative to our Bakken crude oil operations, particularly with respect to (i) increased regulation and enforcement efforts relating to the crude packaging classifications, which predominantly impacts our crude-by-rail operations at the COLT Hub and our crude oil sales at the Arrow central delivery point, and (ii) recent right-of-way regulations implemented by the MHA Nation that are designed to foster more environmentally-friendly oil and gas practices and to generate revenue from oil and gas activities performed on the Fort Berthold Reservation. We expect to manage these regulatory challenges accordingly and, in this regard, we are working closely with (i) regulatory authorities to ensure compliance with existing regulation and provide input on proposed initiatives, and (ii) the MHA Nation to craft right-of-way policies and exemptions that strike an appropriate balance between the industry and the MHA Nation. However, we cannot provide any assurances that new regulatory challenges facing Bakken producers and our company will not have impact our results of operations in a material and adverse manner.
We continue to pursue the state regulatory permits required to construct our proposed Finger Lakes NGL storage facility near Watkins Glen, New York. This year’s harsh winter conditions significantly taxed the propane supply infrastructure in the Northeast, to the point where New York propane consumers alone incurred more than $100 million of incremental supply delivery costs that could have been avoided had our proposed storage facility been operational. With domestic propane production and export volumes expected to increase in the near term, we anticipate that propane consumers in New York and the greater New England and Mid-Atlantic markets will continue to face significantly higher costs to obtain propane supplies until additional local storage can be installed to help balance out seasonal price dislocations. Although it has become clear that political agendas are driving the DEC’s ongoing delay in permitting the Finger Lakes project, we remain optimistic that these political headwinds will subside later this year and we will place into service the Finger Lakes storage project next year. We continue to work proactively with industry associations to educate federal, state and local agencies and officials on the market’s need for this critical energy infrastructure and otherwise generate public support for projects like our Finger Lakes project that support growing demand in the local and regional markets. In this regard, during the quarter (i) the National Propane Gas Association and the New York Propane Gas Association publicly called upon Governor Cuomo and the DEC to authorize our storage project, and encouraged their members to voice support for our project, and (ii) Enterprise, which owns the pipeline that has historically delivered to New York the bulk of its propane requirements, has publicly explained the need for and supported our Finger Lakes storage project.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
We evaluate our overall business performance based primarily on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We evaluate our ability to make distributions to our unitholders based on cash available for distributions.
We do not utilize depreciation, depletion and amortization expense in our key measures because we focus our performance management on cash flow generation and our assets have long useful lives.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA - We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are widely accepted financial indicators of a company's operational performance and its ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. EBITDA is defined as income before income taxes, plus net interest and debt expense, and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA considers the adjusted earnings impact of our unconsolidated affiliates by adjusting our equity earnings or losses from our unconsolidated affiliates for our proportionate share of their depreciation and interest, the impact of certain significant items, such as non-cash equity compensation expenses, gains and impairments of long-lived assets and goodwill, third party costs incurred related to potential and completed acquisitions, loss on contingent consideration, and other transactions identified in a specific reporting period. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, as they do not include deductions for items such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, interest and income taxes, which are necessary to maintain our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations may vary among entities, so our computation may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.
See our reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in Results of Operations below.

Segment Results
Below is a discussion of the factors that impacted EBITDA by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 for our gathering and processing segment and the three months ended December 31, 2013 for our storage and transportation and NGL and crude services segments (see further discussion below).
Gathering and Processing:
EBITDA for our G&P segment was relatively flat for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, although our G&P segment’s revenues increased by $7.1 million (or 10%) for that same period. The increase in our G&P revenues was primarily driven by an increase in gathering and compression volumes during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. We gathered approximately 1.1 Bcf/d of natural gas on our G&P systems during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 1.0 Bcf/d during the same period in 2013. Our compression volumes increased from 0.3 Bcf/d for the three months ended March 31, 2013 to 0.4 Bcf/d during the same period in 2014, which primarily related to a new compressor station which was placed in service in the Marcellus Shale.
Partially offsetting the increase in our G&P segment’s revenues were higher costs of product/services sold primarily due to the increase in natural gas prices during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had a $2.1 million loss on contingent consideration in connection with the acquisition of the Antero assets.
Storage and Transportation:
Our storage and transportation segment results were included in our consolidated results of operations beginning June 19, 2013 (the date that Crestwood Holdings acquired control of CEQP’s general partner). Accordingly, the following discusses the results of operations of our storage and transportation segment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013.
Our storage and transportation segment’s EBITDA increased by approximately 10% during the first quarter of 2014 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2013 primarily due to increased revenues from interruptible services on our Marcellus and Northeast storage and transportation assets resulting from higher market prices, increased volatility and wider basis spreads attributable to the sustained colder weather throughout the region. During the first quarter of 2014, total throughput deliveries (including storage withdrawals plus firm and interruptible transportation services) averaged approximately 1.44 Bcf/d, an increase of 5% from the fourth quarter of 2013.
NGL and Crude Services:
Our NGL and crude services segment results were included in our consolidated results of operations beginning June 19, 2013 (the date that Crestwood Holdings acquired control of CEQP’s general partner). Accordingly, the following discusses the results of operations of our NGL and crude services segment for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013.
Our NGL and crude services segment EBITDA increased by approximately 27% during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily impacted by the acquisition of Arrow in November 2013, which contributed three months of operations during the first quarter of 2014 versus less than two months of operations in 2013. The acquired assets increased our NGL and crude services segment revenues by $163.9 million and increased our operating expenses by $159.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2013.
Other Results
Our consolidated EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $85.1 million, an increase of $47.0 million compared to the same period in 2013. Our consolidated Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $98.9 million, an increase of $59.5 million compared to the same period in 2013.
The increase in our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by our segment results described above. Partially offsetting those results were the general and administrative expenses of our Corporate and other operations, which totaled $24.1 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The increase in these general and administrative expenses was driven by the assets acquired as a result of the Crestwood Merger and the Arrow Acquisition in 2013. Also contributing to the increase was primarily legal and other consulting expenses we recognized to evaluate certain transaction opportunities primarily related to the Arrow Acquisition, which were approximately $5.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. We also had increases in payroll and related benefit costs, which reflects the increased scope of our business operations, and an increase of $4.0 million of expenses related to our equity compensation plans during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.
Items not affecting EBITDA include the following:
Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion Expense - During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to the assets acquired as a result of the Crestwood Merger and the Arrow Acquisition during 2013. We recorded approximately $32.5 million of depreciation and amortization expense related to our NGL and crude services assets and our storage and transportation assets during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Interest and Debt Expense - Interest and debt expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to (i) higher outstanding balances on our credit facilities, net of repayments; (ii) the assumption of $0.7 billion of long-term debt due to the Crestwood Merger; and (iii) the issuance of $600 million of 6.125% senior notes in November 2013.

Our operating subsidiaries use cash from their respective operations to fund their operating activities and maintenance capital expenditures. We use cash generated by our operating subsidiaries and, if applicable, borrowings under our Credit Facility to service our outstanding indebtedness, fund growth capital expenditures, and make distributions to unitholders.
As of March 31, 2014, we had $436.5 million of remaining capacity under the Credit Facility. In addition, as of March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all our debt covenants related to our Credit Facility and Senior Notes. See Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 7 for a more detailed description of our Credit Facility.
On March 24, 2014, we filed a well-known seasoned issuer (WKSI) shelf registration statement. The WKSI registration statement is automatically effective upon filing and allows us to utilize a shelf registration process to sell any combination of the securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings. Also on March 24, 2014, we filed a $300 million Form S-3 shelf registration statement. When declared effective by the SEC, we intend to use this shelf from time to time to offer and sell our common units in at-the-market offerings.

Operating Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we experienced an increase in our operating revenues compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to additional revenues of approximately $457.5 million related to the Crestwood Merger and the Arrow Acquisition which occurred in 2013. Partially offsetting these increases in operating revenues was higher operations and maintenance expenses, general and administrative expenses and costs of product/services sold of approximately $410.3 million, which also primarily related to the Crestwood Merger and the Arrow Acquisition in 2013. In addition, our interest costs increased by approximately $16.7 million due to higher outstanding balances on our credit facilities.
Investing Activities
The energy midstream business is capital intensive, requiring significant investments for the acquisition or development of new facilities. We categorize our capital expenditures as either:
| |
• | growth capital expenditures, which are made to construct additional assets, expand and upgrade existing systems, or acquire additional assets; or |
| |
• | maintenance capital expenditures, which are made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets, to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets, extend their useful lives or comply with regulatory requirements. |
We have identified additional growth capital project opportunities for each of our reporting segments. Additional commitments or expenditures will be made at our discretion, and any discontinuation of the construction of these projects will likely result in less future cash flow and earnings. The following table summarizes our capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (in millions):
|
| | | |
Growth capital | $ | 56.2 |
|
Maintenance capital | 2.7 |
|
Other(1) | 8.8 |
|
Total | $ | 67.7 |
|
(1) Represents capital expenditures that are reimbursable by third parties.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we made capital contributions of approximately $19.8 million to our unconsolidated affiliates to fund their capital projects. For additional information, see Item 1, Financial Statements, Note 5.
Financing Activities
Significant items impacting our financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, included the following:
Equity Transactions
| |
• | $59.5 million increase in distributions to partners during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013; |
| |
• | $12.3 million proceeds from the issuance of preferred security units to GE; |
| |
• | $103.5 million net proceeds from the issuance of Legacy Crestwood common units during the three months ended March 31, 2013; and |
| |
• | $129.0 million distribution to Crestwood Holdings for the acquisition of Legacy Crestwood's additional interest in CMM in January 2013. |
Debt Transactions
| |
• | $74.7 million increase in net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. |
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our interest rate risk and commodity price, market and credit risks are discussed in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and there have been no material changes in those exposures from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2014, 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 our General Partner, as to the effectiveness, design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). We maintain controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our General Partner, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our General Partner, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent and/or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our General Partner concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2014.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
