ENLINK MIDSTREAM, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2014
(Unaudited)
(1) General
In this report, the terms “Company” or “Registrant” as well as the terms “ENLC,” “our,” “we,” and “us,” or like terms, are sometimes used as references to EnLink Midstream, LLC 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, including EnLink Midstream Operating, LP and Midstream Holdings, together with their consolidated subsidiaries. “Midstream Holdings” is sometimes used to refer to EnLink Midstream Holdings, LP itself or to EnLink Midstream Holdings, LP together with EnLink Midstream Holdings GP, LLC and their subsidiaries.
(a)Organization of Business
EnLink Midstream, LLC is a Delaware limited liability company formed in October 2013. Effective as of March 7, 2014, EnLink Midstream, Inc. (formerly known as Crosstex Energy, Inc.) (“EMI”) merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Acacia Natural Gas Corp I, Inc. (“New Acacia”), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon Energy Corporation (“Devon”), merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “mergers”). Pursuant to the mergers, each of EMI and New Acacia became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and the Company became publicly held. EMI owns common units representing an approximate 7% limited partner interest in the Partnership as of September 30, 2014 and also owns EnLink Midstream Partners GP, LLC (formerly known as Crosstex Energy GP, LLC) (the “General Partner”). New Acacia directly owns a 50% limited partner interest in Midstream Holdings. Midstream Holdings formerly was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon. Upon closing of the business combination (as defined below), ENLC issued 115,495,669 Class B Units ("Class B Units") to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon, which represents approximately 70% of the outstanding limited liability company interests in ENLC. The Class B units converted to common units on May 6, 2014.
Concurrently with the consummation of the mergers, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership acquired the remaining 50% of the outstanding limited partner interest in Midstream Holdings and all of the outstanding equity interests in EnLink Midstream Holdings GP, LLC, the general partner of Midstream Holdings (together with the mergers, the “business combination”). The Company’s common units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ENLC.”
Our assets consist of equity interests in the Partnership, Midstream Holdings, E2 Energy Services, LLC and E2 Appalachian Compression, LLC (collectively, “E2”). The Partnership is a publicly traded limited partnership engaged in the gathering, transmission, processing and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids, or NGLs, condensate and crude oil, as well as providing crude oil, condensate and brine services to producers. Midstream Holdings is a partnership held by us and the Partnership and is engaged in the gathering, transmission and processing of natural gas. E2 is a services company focused on the Utica Shale play in the Ohio River Valley. As of September 30, 2014, our interests in the Partnership, Midstream Holdings and E2 consist of the following:
| |
• | 16,414,830 common units representing an aggregate 7% limited partner interest in the Partnership; |
| |
• | 100.0% ownership interest in EnLink Midstream Partners GP, LLC, the general partner of the Partnership, which owns a 0.7% general partner interest and all of the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership; |
| |
• | 50.0% limited partner interest in Midstream Holdings; and |
| |
• | 89.8% interest in E2 Energy Services, LLC and a 90.6% interest in E2 Appalachian Compression, LLC, with the remainder owned by E2 management. |
(b) Nature of Business
The Company primarily focuses on providing midstream energy services, including gathering, transmission, processing, fractionation and marketing, to producers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and condensate. The Company also provides crude oil, condensate and brine services to producers. The Company connects the wells of natural gas producers in its market areas to its gathering systems, processes natural gas for the removal of NGLs, fractionates NGLs into purity products and markets those products for a fee, transports natural gas and ultimately provides natural gas to a variety of markets. The Company purchases
ENLINK MIDSTREAM, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)
natural gas from natural gas producers and other supply sources and sells that natural gas to utilities, industrial consumers, other marketers and pipelines. The Company operates processing plants that process gas transported to the plants by major interstate pipelines or from its own gathering systems under a variety of fee arrangements. The Company provides a variety of crude oil and condensate services throughout the Ohio River Valley (“ORV”), which include crude oil and condensate gathering and transmission via pipelines, barges, rail and trucks and brine disposal. The Company also has crude oil and condensate terminal facilities in south Louisiana that provide access for crude oil and condensate producers to the premium markets in this area. The Company's gas gathering systems consist of networks of pipelines that collect natural gas from points near producing wells and transport it to larger pipelines for further transmission. The Company's transmission pipelines primarily receive natural gas from its gathering systems and from third party gathering and transmission systems and deliver natural gas to industrial end-users, utilities and other pipelines. The Company also has transmission lines that transport NGLs from east Texas and its south Louisiana processing plants to its fractionators in south Louisiana. The Company's crude oil and condensate gathering and transmission systems consist of trucking facilities, pipelines, rail and barge facilities that, in exchange for a fee, transport oil from a producer site to an end user. The Company's processing plants remove NGLs and CO2 from a natural gas stream and its fractionators separate the NGLs into separate NGL products, including ethane, propane, iso-butane, normal butane and natural gasoline.
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, are unaudited and do not include all the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("US 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. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Further, the unaudited consolidated financial statements give effect to the business combination and related transactions discussed above under the acquisition method of accounting and are treated as a reverse acquisition. Under the acquisition method of accounting, Midstream Holdings was the accounting acquirer in the transactions because its parent company, Devon, obtained control of ENLC after the business combination. Consequently, Midstream Holdings’ assets and liabilities retained their carrying values and are reflected in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 as the Predecessor. All financial results prior to March 7, 2014 reflect the historical operations of Midstream Holdings and are reflected as Predecessor income in the statement of operations. Additionally, EMI’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed by ENLC, as well as ENLC's non-controlling interests in the Partnership, were recorded at their fair values measured as of the acquisition date, March 7, 2014. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of EMI’s net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Financial results on and subsequent to March 7, 2014 reflect the combined operations of Midstream Holdings and EMI, which give effect to new contracts entered into with Devon and include the legacy Partnership assets. Certain assets were not contributed to Midstream Holdings from the Predecessor and the operations of such non-contributed assets have been presented as discontinued operations.
| |
(b) | Management's Use of Estimates |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The Company recognizes revenue for sales or services at the time the natural gas, NGLs, condensate or crude oil are delivered or at the time the service is performed at a fixed or determinable price. The Company generally accrues one month of sales and the related gas, condensate and crude oil purchases and reverses these accruals when the sales and purchases are actually invoiced and recorded in the subsequent month. Actual results could differ from the accrual estimates. The Company's purchase and sale arrangements are generally reported in revenues and costs on a gross basis in the consolidated statement of operations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification
ENLINK MIDSTREAM, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)
("FASB ASC") 605-45-45-1. Except for fee based arrangements, the Company acts as the principal in these purchase and sale transactions, has the risk and reward of ownership as evidenced by title transfer, schedules the transportation and assumes credit risk.
The Company accounts for taxes collected from customers attributable to revenue transactions and remitted to government authorities on a net basis (excluded from revenues).

Quantities of natural gas and NGLs over-delivered or under-delivered related to imbalance agreements are recorded monthly as receivables or payables using weighted average prices at the time of the imbalance. These imbalances are typically settled with deliveries of natural gas or NGLs. The Company had imbalance payables of $1.1 million at September 30, 2014 which approximate the fair value of these imbalances. The Company had imbalance receivables of $1.3 million at September 30, 2014, which are carried at the lower of cost or market value. There were no imbalance payables or receivables at December 31, 2013.
| |
(e) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
| |
(f) | Natural Gas, Natural Gas Liquids, Crude Oil and Condensate Inventory |
The Company's inventories of products consist of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil and condensate. The Company reports these assets at the lower of cost or market value which is determined by using the first-in, first-out method.
| |
(g) | Property, Plant, and Equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at fair value, including the Partnership's assets acquired by the Predecessor in the business combination. Repairs and maintenance are charged against income when incurred. Renewals and betterments, which extend the useful life of the properties, are capitalized. Subsequent to the business combination, interest costs for material projects are capitalized to property, plant and equipment during the period the assets are undergoing preparation for intended use.
Change in Depreciation Method. Historically, Midstream Holdings depreciated certain property, plant, and equipment using the units-of-production method. As a result of the business combination, the Company is operated as an independent midstream company and thus no longer has access to Devon’s proprietary reserve and production data historically used to compute depreciation under the units-of-production method. Additionally, the existing contracts with Devon were revised to a fee-based arrangement with minimum volume commitments. Effective March 7, 2014, the Company changed its method of computing depreciation for these assets to the straight-line method, consistent with the depreciation method applied to the Company’s legacy assets. In accordance with FASB ASC 250, the Company determined that the change in depreciation method is a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle, and accordingly, the straight-line method will be applied on a prospective basis. This change is considered preferable because the straight-line method will more accurately reflect the pattern of usage and the expected benefits of such assets. The effect of this change in estimate resulted in a decrease in depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 by approximately $9.3 million and $21.0 million, or $0.06 and $0.13 per unit, respectively.
Gain or Loss on Disposition. Upon the disposition or retirement of property, plant and equipment related to continuing operations, any gain or loss is recognized in operating income in the statement of operations. When a disposition or retirement occurs which qualifies as discontinued operations, any gain or loss is recognized as income or loss from discontinued operations in the statement of operations.
Impairment Review. The Company evaluates its property, plant and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets 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 loss is recognized equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. The fair
ENLINK MIDSTREAM, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)
values of long-lived assets are generally determined from estimated discounted future net cash flows. The Company's estimate of cash flows is based on assumptions which include (1) the amount of fee based services and the purchase and resale margins on natural gas, together with the volume of gas, NGL, condensate and crude oil available to the asset, (2) markets available to the asset, (3) operating expenses, and (4) future natural gas prices, crude prices, condensate prices and NGL product prices. The volume of available gas, condensate, NGLs and crude oil to an asset is sometimes based on assumptions regarding future drilling activity, which may be dependent in part on natural gas, NGL, condensate and crude oil prices. Projections of gas volumes and future commodity prices are inherently subjective and contingent upon a number of variable factors. Any significant variance in any of the above assumptions or factors could materially affect the Company's cash flows, which could require it to record an impairment of an asset.
| |
(h) | Equity Method of Accounting |
The Company accounts for investments it does not control but over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence using the equity method of accounting. Under this method, equity investments are carried originally at the acquisition cost, increased by the Company’s proportionate share of the investee’s net income and by contributions made, and decreased by the Predecessor’s proportionate share of the investee’s net losses and by distributions received.
The Company evaluates its equity investments for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investments may not be recoverable.
The Company owns a majority interest in E2, which are companies that provide compression and stabilization services for producers in the liquids-rich window of the Utica Shale play. The Company owns approximately 89.8% of E2 Energy Services, LLC and a 90.6% interest in E2 Appalachian Compression, LLC and has pre-determined rights to purchase the management ownership interests of E2 in the future. The Company consolidates its investment in E2 pursuant to FASB ASC 810-10-05-08.
Goodwill is the cost of an acquisition less the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business. The Company will evaluate goodwill for impairment annually as of October 31st or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as the basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company may elect to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test without completing a qualitative assessment. If a two-step process goodwill impairment test is elected or required, the first step involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit, to which goodwill has been allocated, with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the process involves comparing the implied fair value to the carrying value of the goodwill for that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, the excess of the carrying value over the implied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.
The Company has approximately $3.7 billion of goodwill at September 30, 2014 primarily related to the legacy Company operations as a result of the business combination.
Intangible assets consist of customer relationships which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefits of the customer relationships, which range from ten to twenty years.

(l) Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company recognizes liabilities for retirement obligations associated with its pipelines and processing and fractionation facilities. Such liabilities are recognized when there is a legal obligation associated with the retirement of the assets and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation is recorded as a liability at its fair value, with an offsetting asset retirement cost recorded as an increase to the associated property, plant and equipment. If the fair value of a recorded asset retirement obligation changes, a revision is recorded to both the asset retirement obligation and the asset retirement cost. The Company’s retirement obligations include estimated environmental remediation costs which arise from normal operations and are associated with the retirement of the long-lived assets. The asset retirement cost is depreciated using a straight line depreciation method similar to that used for the associated property, plant and equipment.
(m) Other Long-Term Liabilities
Included in other current and long-term liabilities is an $85.2 million total liability related to an onerous performance obligation assumed in the business combination. The Partnership has one delivery contract which requires it to deliver a specified volume of gas each month at an indexed base price with a term to 2019. The Partnership realizes a loss on the delivery of gas under this contract each month based on current prices. The fair value of this onerous performance obligation was recorded as a result of the business combination and was based on forecasted discounted cash obligations in excess of market under this gas delivery contract. The liability is reduced each month as delivery is made over the remaining life of the contract with an offsetting reduction in purchase gas costs.
(n) Derivatives
The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge against changes in cash flows related to product price, as opposed to their use for trading purposes. We generally determine the fair value of swap contracts based on the difference between the derivative's fixed contract price and the underlying market price at the determination date. The asset or liability related to the derivative instruments is recorded on the balance sheet as fair value of derivative assets or liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC 815. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recorded in gain (loss) on derivative activity in the period of change.
ENLINK MIDSTREAM, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)
Realized gains and losses on commodity related derivatives are recorded as gain or loss on derivative activity within revenues in the consolidated statement of operations in the period incurred. Settlements of derivatives are included in cash flows from operating activities.
(o) Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable and derivative financial instruments. Management believes the risk is limited, other than the Company's exposure to Devon discussed below, since the Company's customers represent a broad and diverse group of energy marketers and end users. In addition, the Company continually monitors and reviews credit exposure to its marketing counter-parties and letters of credit or other appropriate security are obtained as considered necessary to limit the risk of loss. The Company records reserves for uncollectible accounts on a specific identification basis since there is not a large volume of late paying customers. The Company had no reserve for uncollectible receivables as of September 30, 2014.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, and 2013, the Partnership had no third party customer that individually represented greater than 10.0% of its midstream revenues other than affiliate transactions with Devon which represented 24.1% and 34.8% of the consolidated midstream revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, and 91.9% and 92.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. As the Company continues to grow and expand, the relationship between individual customer sales and consolidated total sales is expected to continue to change. Devon represents a significant percentage of revenues and the loss of Devon as a customer would have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations because the gross operating margin received from transactions with this customer is material to the Company.
(p) Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized as appropriate, depending on the nature of the expenditures and their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations that do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities for these expenditures are recorded on an undiscounted basis (or a discounted basis when the obligation can be settled at fixed and determinable amounts) when environmental assessments or clean-ups are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, such expenditures were not material.
(q) Unit-Based Awards
Prior to the business combination, Devon granted certain share-based awards to members of its board of directors and selected employees. The Predecessor did not grant share-based awards because it previously participated in Devon’s share-based award plans since the Predecessor comprised Devon's U.S. midstream assets. The awards granted under Devon’s plans were measured at fair value on the date of grant and were recognized as expense over the applicable requisite service periods.
The Company recognizes compensation cost related to all unit-based awards in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 718. The Company and the Partnership each have similar unit-based payment plans for employees. Unit-based compensation associated with ENLC's unit-based compensation plans awarded to directors, officers and employees of the general partner of the Partnership are recorded by the Partnership since the Company has no substantial or managed operating activities other than its interests in the Partnership and Midstream Holdings.
(r) Commitments and Contingencies
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation or other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
(s) Discontinued Operations
The Company classifies as discontinued operations its assets or asset groups that have clearly distinguishable cash flows and are in the process of being sold or have been sold. The Company also includes as discontinued operations Predecessor assets that were not contributed in the business combination.
ENLINK MIDSTREAM, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)
(t) Debt Issue Costs
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are deferred and recorded as interest expense over the term of the related debt. Gains or losses on debt repurchases, redemptions and debt extinguishments include any associated unamortized debt issue costs.
(u) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 will replace existing revenue recognition requirements in US GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity's nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Subject to this evaluation, we have reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements that became effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and have determined that none would have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
(3) Acquisition
On March 7, 2014, EMI merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and New Acacia, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon, merged with and into another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “mergers”). Upon consummation of the mergers, EMI and New Acacia became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and the Company became publicly held. As of September 30, 2014, the Company, through its ownership of EMI, owned approximately 7% of the outstanding limited partner interests in the Partnership and owned 100.0% of the General Partner. The Company, through its ownership of New Acacia, indirectly owns a 50% limited partner interest in Midstream Holdings. Midstream Holdings owns midstream assets previously held by Devon in the Barnett Shale in North Texas, the Cana-Woodford Shale and Arkoma-Woodford Shale in Oklahoma and a contractual right to the burdens and benefits associated with Devon’s 38.75% interest in Gulf Coast Fractionators ("GCF") in Mt. Belvieu, Texas.
Also effective as of March 7, 2014, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership acquired the remaining 50% limited partner interest in Midstream Holdings and all of the outstanding equity interests in EnLink Midstream Holdings GP, LLC, the general partner of Midstream Holdings (together with the mergers, the “business combination”).
Under the acquisition method of accounting, Midstream Holdings is the acquirer in the business combination because its parent company, Devon, obtained control of ENLC. Consequently, Midstream Holdings’ assets and liabilities retained their carrying values. Additionally, EMI’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed by ENLC, as well as ENLC’s non-controlling interest in the Partnership, are recorded at their fair values measured as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of EMI’s net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Since equity consideration was issued for this business combination, the purchase of these assets and liabilities has been excluded from our statement of cash flows, except for transaction related costs totaling $51.4 million assumed by ENLC at closing and subsequently paid by ENLC.

(4) Affiliate Transactions
The Partnership engages in various transactions with Devon and other affiliated entities. Prior to March 7, 2014, these transactions relate to EnLink Midstream Holdings, LP Predecessor (the "Predecessor") transactions consisting of sales to and from affiliates, services provided by affiliates, cost allocations from affiliates and centralized cash management activities performed by affiliates. Management believes these transactions are executed on terms that are fair and reasonable and are consistent with terms for transactions with nonaffiliated third parties. The amounts related to affiliate transactions are specified in the accompanying financial statements.
The Predecessor’s historical assets comprised all of Devon’s U.S. midstream assets and operations. However, only its assets serving the Barnett, Cana-Woodford and Arkoma-Woodford Shales, as well as contractual rights to the burdens and benefits of Devon's 38.75% interest in GCF, were contributed to Midstream Holdings in connection with the business combination. Assets that were not contributed from the Predecessor are reflected as discontinued operations prior to March 7, 2014 and reflected as a reduction in equity as of March 7, 2014.
Midstream Holdings, in which the Company holds a 50% economic interest as of March 7, 2014, conducts business with Devon pursuant to the gathering and processing agreements described below. The legacy Partnership also historically has maintained a relationship with Devon as a customer, as described in more detail below.
ENLINK MIDSTREAM, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)
Gathering and Processing Agreements
As described in Note 1, Midstream Holdings was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon, and all of its assets were contributed to it by Devon. In connection with the consummation of the business combination, EnLink Midstream Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Midstream Holdings ("EnLink Midstream Services"), entered into 10-year gathering and processing agreements with Devon pursuant to which EnLink Midstream Services provides gathering, treating, compression, dehydration, stabilization, processing and fractionation services, as applicable, for natural gas delivered by Devon Gas Services, L.P., a subsidiary of Devon ("Gas Services") to Midstream Holdings’ gathering and processing systems in the Barnett, Cana-Woodford and Arkoma-Woodford Shales. SWG Pipeline, L.L.C. (“SWG Pipeline”), another wholly-owned subsidiary of Midstream Holdings, entered into a 10-year gathering agreement with Devon pursuant to which SWG Pipeline provides gathering, treating, compression, dehydration and redelivery services, as applicable, for natural gas delivered by Gas Services to another of the Partnership's gathering system in the Barnett Shale.
These agreements provide Midstream Holdings with dedication of all of the natural gas owned or controlled by Devon and produced from or attributable to existing and future wells located on certain oil, natural gas and mineral leases covering land within the acreage dedications, excluding properties previously dedicated to other natural gas gathering systems not owned and operated by Devon. Pursuant to the gathering and processing agreements, Devon has committed to deliver specified average minimum daily volumes of natural gas to Midstream Holdings’ gathering systems in the Barnett, Cana-Woodford and Arkoma-Woodford Shales during each calendar quarter for a five-year period following execution. Devon is entitled to firm service, meaning that if capacity on a system is curtailed or reduced, or capacity is otherwise insufficient, Midstream Holdings will take delivery of as much Devon natural gas as is permitted in accordance with applicable law.
The gathering and processing agreements are fee-based, and Midstream Holdings is paid a specified fee per MMBtu for natural gas gathered on Midstream Holdings’ gathering systems and a specified fee per MMBtu for natural gas processed. The particular fees, all of which are subject to an automatic annual inflation escalator at the beginning of each year, differ from one system to another and do not contain a fee redetermination clause.
On August 29, 2014, Gas Services assigned its 10-year gathering and processing agreement to Linn Exchange Properties, LLC (“Linn Energy”), which is a subsidiary of Linn Energy, LLC, in connection with Gas Services’ divestiture of certain of its southeastern Oklahoma assets. Such assignment will be effective as of December 1, 2014. Accordingly, beginning on December 1, 2014, Linn Energy will perform Gas Services’ obligations under the agreement, which remains in full force and effect. The assignment of this agreement relates to production dedicated to our Northridge assets in southeastern Oklahoma. Gross operating margin related to our Northridge assets totaled $6.5 million and $22.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
Historical Customer Relationship with Devon
As noted above, the Partnership maintained a customer relationship with Devon prior to the business combination pursuant to which certain of the Partnership's subsidiaries provide gathering, transportation, processing and gas lift services to Devon subsidiaries in exchange for fee-based compensation under several agreements with Devon. The terms of these agreements vary, but the agreements expire between March 2015 and July 2021 and they automatically renew for month-to-month or year-to-year periods unless canceled by Devon prior to expiration. In addition, one of the Partnership's subsidiaries has agreements with a subsidiary of Devon pursuant to which the Partnership's subsidiary purchases and sells NGLs and pays or receives, as applicable, a margin-based fee. These NGL purchase and sale agreements have month-to-month terms.
Transition Services Agreement
In connection with the consummation of the business combination, the Partnership entered into a transition services agreement with Devon pursuant to which Devon provides certain services to the Partnership with respect to the business and operations of Midstream Holdings, including IT, accounting, pipeline integrity, compliance management and procurement services, and the Partnership provides certain services to Devon and its subsidiaries, including IT, human resources and other commercial and operational services. The Partnership expects most services under the transition services agreement to end by December 31, 2014.
GCF Agreement
In connection with the closing of the business combination, Midstream Holdings entered into an agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon pursuant to which Devon agreed, from and after the closing of the business combination, to hold for
ENLINK MIDSTREAM, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)
the benefit of Midstream Holdings the economic benefits and burdens of Devon’s 38.75% interest in GCF, which owns a fractionation facility in Mont Belvieu, Texas.
Lone Camp Gas Storage Agreement
In connection with the closing of the business combination, Midstream Holdings entered into an agreement with Gas Services under which Midstream Holdings provides gas storage services at its Lone Camp storage facility. Under this agreement, Gas Services reimburses Midstream Holdings for the expenses it incurs in providing the storage services. This agreement has minimal to no impact on Midstream Holdings' annual revenue.
Acacia Transportation Agreement
In connection with the closing of the business combination, Midstream Holdings entered into an agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon pursuant to which Midstream Holdings provides transportation services to Devon on its Acacia pipeline.
Office Leases
In connection with the closing of the business combination, EnLink Midstream Operating, LP (formerly known as Crosstex Energy Services, L.P.) entered into three office lease agreements with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devon pursuant to which EnLink Midstream Operating, LP leases office space from Devon at its Bridgeport, Oklahoma City and Cresson office buildings. Rent payable to Devon under these lease agreements is $174,000, $31,000 and $66,000, respectively, on an annual basis.
Tax Sharing Agreement
In connection with the closing of the business combination, ENLC, the Partnership and Devon entered into a tax sharing agreement providing for the allocation of responsibilities, liabilities and benefits relating to any tax for which a combined tax return is due.
The following presents financial information for the Predecessor's affiliate transactions and other transactions with Devon, all of which are settled through an adjustment to equity prior to March 7, 2014 (in millions):

Company Credit Facility. On March 7, 2014, the Company entered into a new $250.0 million revolving credit facility, which includes a $125.0 million letter of credit subfacility (the “credit facility”). The Company used borrowings under the credit facility to repay outstanding borrowings under the margin loan facility of XTXI Capital, LLC (a former wholly-owned subsidiary of EnLink Midstream, Inc.), which was paid in full and terminated on March 7, 2014. Our obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by our two wholly-owned subsidiaries and secured by first priority liens on (i) 16,414,830 Partnership common units and the 100% membership interest in the General Partner indirectly held by us, (ii) the 100% equity interest in each of our wholly-owned subsidiaries held by us, (iii) the 50% limited partner interest in Midstream Holdings held by us and (iv) any additional equity interests subsequently pledged as collateral under the credit facility.
The credit facility will mature on March 7, 2019. The credit facility contains certain financial, operational and legal covenants. The financial covenants will be tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter, and include (i) maintaining a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility, but generally computed as the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges) of 4.00 to 1.00, provided that the maximum consolidated leverage ratio is 4.50 to 1.00 during an acquisition period (as defined in the credit facility) and (ii) maintaining a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit facility, but generally computed as the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges to consolidated interest charges) of 2.50 to 1.00 at all times prior to the occurrence of an investment grade event (as defined in the credit facility).
Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest, at our option, at either the Eurodollar Rate (the LIBOR Rate) plus an applicable margin 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. The applicable margins vary depending on our leverage ratio. Upon breach by us of certain covenants governing the credit facility, amounts outstanding under the credit facility, if any, may become due and payable immediately and the liens securing credit facility could be foreclosed upon.
As of September 30, 2014, there was $80.5 million borrowed under the credit facility, leaving approximately $169.5 million available for future borrowing based on the borrowing capacity of $250.0 million.
Other Company Borrowings. On September 4, 2013, E2 Energy Services LLC ("E2 Services"), one of the Ohio services companies in which the Company invests, entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank ("JPMorgan"). The maturity date of E2 Services' credit agreement is September 4, 2016. As of September 30, 2014, there was $26.3 million borrowed under E2 Services' credit agreement, leaving approximately $2.5 million available for future borrowing based on borrowing capacity of $30.0 million. The interest rate under the credit agreement is based on Prime plus an applicable margin. The effective interest rate as of September 30, 2014 was approximately 4.0%. Additionally, as of September 30, 2014, E2 Services had certain promissory notes outstanding related to its vehicle fleet in the amount of $0.4 million due in increments

through July 2017. The notes bear interest at fixed rates ranging 3.9% to 7.0%. The Company does not guarantee E2 Services' debt obligations.
Partnership Credit Facility. On February 20, 2014, the Partnership entered into a new $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility, which includes a $500.0 million letter of credit subfacility (the “Partnership credit facility”). The Partnership credit facility will mature on the fifth anniversary of the initial funding date, which was March 7, 2014, unless the Partnership requests, and the requisite lenders agree, to extend it pursuant to its terms. The Partnership credit facility contains certain financial, operational and legal covenants. Among other things, these covenants include maintaining a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Partnership credit facility, which definition includes projected EBITDA from certain capital expansion projects) of no more than 5.0 to 1.0. If the Partnership consummates one or more acquisitions in which the aggregate purchase price is $50.0 million or more, the maximum allowed ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA will increase to 5.5 to 1.0 for the quarter of the acquisition and the three following quarters.
Borrowings under the Partnership credit facility bear interest at the Partnership’s option at the Eurodollar Rate (the LIBOR Rate) plus an applicable margin 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. The applicable margins vary depending on the Partnership’s credit rating. Upon breach by the Partnership of certain covenants governing the Partnership credit facility, amounts outstanding under the Partnership credit facility, if any, may become due and payable immediately.
As of September 30, 2014, there were $14.0 million in outstanding letters of credit and $371.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Partnership’s bank credit facility, leaving approximately $615.0 million available for future borrowing based on the borrowing capacity of $1.0 billion.

On March 12, 2014, the Partnership commenced a tender offer to purchase any and all of the outstanding 2018 Notes. Approximately $536.1 million, or approximately 74%, of the 2018 Notes were validly tendered and on March 19, 2014, the Partnership made a payment of approximately $567.4 million for all such tendered 2018 Notes.

The 2019 Notes mature on April 1, 2019, the 2024 Notes mature on April 1, 2024 and the 2044 Notes mature on April 1, 2044. The interest payments on the 2019 Notes, 2024 Notes and 2044 Notes are due semi-annually in arrears in April and October.
Prior to June 1, 2017, the Partnership may redeem all or part of the remaining 2022 Notes at the redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount thereof, plus a make-whole premium at the redemption date, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. On or after June 1, 2017, the Partnership may redeem all or a part of the remaining 2022 Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 103.563% for the twelve-month period beginning on June 1, 2017, 102.375% for the twelve-month period beginning on June 1, 2018, 101.188% for the twelve-month period beginning on June 1, 2019 and 100.000% for the twelve-month period beginning on June 1, 2020 and at any time thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date on the 2022 Notes.

The indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit the Partnership's ability to create or incur certain liens or consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets.
Each of the following is an event of default under the indentures:
| |
• | failure to pay any principal or interest when due; |
ENLINK MIDSTREAM, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)
| |
• | failure to observe any other agreement, obligation or other covenant in the indenture, subject to the cure periods for certain failures; |
| |
• | default by the Partnership under other indebtedness that exceeds a certain threshold amount; |
| |
• | failure by the Partnership to pay final judgments that exceed a certain threshold amount; and |
| |
• | bankruptcy or other insolvency events involving the Partnership. |
If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events occurs, the Senior Notes will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists under the indenture, the trustee under the indenture or the holders of the Senior Notes may accelerate the maturity of the Senior Notes and exercise other rights and remedies.
(6) Income Taxes
The Predecessor’s historical combined financial statements include U.S. federal and state income tax expense and related deferred tax liabilities. As a result of the business combination, the Predecessor was reorganized and Midstream Holdings is treated as a partnership and no longer subject to federal and certain state income taxes on or subsequent to March 7, 2014, the transaction date.
As of the transaction date, ENLC owned a 50% direct partnership interest in Midstream Holdings and indirectly owned an additional interest of approximately 3% through its ownership in the Partnership which owns the other 50% interest in Midstream Holdings. ENLC assumed a carryover basis in Midstream Holdings' assets and, therefore, assumed $252.0 million of deferred tax liability in the business combination. This amount represents approximately 53% of Midstream Holdings' deferred tax liability at closing related to the difference between the book basis and the tax basis of Midstream Holdings' assets. The deferred tax liability of $215.5 million related to the 47% of Midstream Holdings not owned by ENLC was reflected as a reduction in the deferred tax liability and an increase in non-controlling interest through equity at closing.
The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method. Accordingly, deferred taxes are recorded for the differences between the tax and book basis that will reverse in future periods (in millions). |

At September 30, 2014, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $61.9 million that expires from 2027 through 2034. The Company also has various state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $75.4 million which will begin expiring in 2027. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the future results of operations will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize these net operating loss carryforwards before they expire.
Deferred tax liabilities relating to property, plant, equipment and intangible assets represent, primarily, the Company's share of the book basis in excess of tax basis for assets inside of the Partnership and Midstream Holdings.
(7) Certain Provisions of the Partnership Agreement
(a) Issuance of Common Units
In May 2014, the Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “EDA”) with BMO Capital Markets Corp. (“BMOCM”). Pursuant to the terms of the EDA, the Partnership may from time to time through BMOCM, as its sales agent, sell common units representing limited partner interests having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million.
Through September 30, 2014, the Partnership sold an aggregate of 2.4 million common units under the EDA, generating proceeds of approximately $71.9 million (net of approximately $0.7 million of commissions to BMOCM). The Partnership used the net proceeds for general partnership purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and repayments of indebtedness.
(b) Cash Distributions
Unless restricted by the terms of the Partnership credit facility and/or the indentures governing the Partnership’s unsecured senior notes, the Partnership must make distributions of 100% of available cash, as defined in the partnership agreement, within 45 days following the end of each quarter. Distributions are made to the General Partner in accordance with its current percentage interest with the remainder to the common unitholders, subject to the payment of incentive distributions as described below to the extent that certain target levels of cash distributions are achieved. The Partnership's first quarter 2014 distribution on its common units and Class B Units of $0.36 per unit and $0.10 per unit, respectively, were paid on May 14, 2014. Distributions declared for the Partnership's Class B Units represent a pro rata distribution for the number of days its Class B Units were issued and outstanding during the quarter. The Partnership's Class B Units automatically converted into common units on a one-for-one basis on May 6, 2014. The Partnership paid second quarter 2014 distribution on its common units of 0.365 on August 13, 2014. Also, the Partnership declared a third quarter 2014 distribution on its common units of $0.37 per unit to be paid on November 13, 2014.
Under the quarterly incentive distribution provisions, generally the Partnership's General Partner is entitled to 13.0% of amounts the Partnership distributes in excess of $0.25 per unit, 23% of the amounts the Partnership distributes in excess of $0.3125 per unit and 48.0% of amounts the Partnership distributes in excess of $0.375 per unit.
ENLINK MIDSTREAM, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)
(c) Allocation of Partnership Income
Net income is allocated to the General Partner in an amount equal to its incentive distributions as described in Note 7(b). The General Partner's share of net income consists of incentive distributions to the extent earned, a deduction for unit-based compensation attributable to ENLC’s restricted units and the percentage interest of the Partnership’s net income adjusted for ENLC's unit-based compensation specifically allocated to the General Partner. The net income allocated to the General Partner is as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 (in millions): |

(8) Earnings per Unit and Dilution Computations
As required under FASB ASC 260-10-45-61A, unvested share-based payments that entitle employees to receive non-forfeitable distributions are considered participating securities, as defined in FASB ASC 260-10-20, for earnings per unit calculations. Net income earned by the Predecessor prior to March 7, 2014 is not included for purposes of calculating earnings per unit as the Predecessor did not have any unitholders. Additionally, distributions declared for the Class B Units represent a pro rata distribution for the number of days the Class B Units were issued and outstanding during the quarter. The Class B Units automatically converted into common units on a one-for-one basis on May 6, 2014.
The following table reflects the computation of basic and diluted earnings per limited partner unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 (in millions, except per unit amounts): |

(11) Employee Incentive Plans
(a) Long-Term Incentive Plans
The Partnership and ENLC each have similar unit or unit-based payment plans for employees, which are described below. Unit-based compensation associated with ENLC's unit-based compensation plan awarded to officers and employees of the Partnership are recorded by the Partnership since ENLC has no substantial or managed operating activities other than its interests in the Partnership and Midstream Holdings. Amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these plans are as follows (in millions):

(c) Unit Options
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 31,382 unit options of the Partnership were exercised with an intrinsic value of $0.6 million. As of September 30, 2014, all unit options were fully vested and fully expensed.
(d) EnLink Midstream, LLC's Restricted Incentive Units
On February 5, 2014, ENLC's sole unitholder at the time, EnLink Midstream Manager, LLC, approved the EnLink Midstream, LLC 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Company Plan”). The Company Plan provides for the issuance of 11.0 million awards.
On March 7, 2014, effective as of the closing of the business combination, ENLC (i) assumed the Crosstex Energy, Inc. 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) and all awards thereunder outstanding following the business combination and (ii) amended and restated the 2009 Plan to reflect the conversion of the awards under the 2009 Plan relating to EMI’s common stock to awards in respect of common units of ENLC.

(12) Derivatives
Commodity Swaps
The Partnership manages its exposure to fluctuation in commodity prices by hedging the impact of market fluctuations. Swaps are used to manage and hedge price and location risk related to these market exposures. Swaps are also used to manage margins on offsetting fixed-price purchase or sale commitments for physical quantities of natural gas and NGLs. The Partnership does not designate transactions as cash flow or fair value hedges for hedge accounting treatment under FASB ASC 815. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the Partnership's derivatives are recorded in revenue in the period incurred. In addition, the risk management policy does not allow the Partnership to take speculative positions with its derivative contracts.
The Partnership commonly enters into index (float-for-float) or fixed-for-float swaps in order to mitigate its cash flow exposure to fluctuations in the future prices of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil. For natural gas, index swaps are used to protect against the price exposure of daily priced gas versus first-of-month priced gas. They are also used to hedge the basis location price risk resulting from supply and markets being priced on different indices. For natural gas, NGLs, condensate and crude, fixed-for-float swaps are used to protect cash flows against price fluctuations: 1) where the Partnership receives a percentage of liquids as a fee for processing third-party gas, 2) in the natural gas processing and fractionation components of our business and 3) where the Partnership is mitigating the price risk for product held in inventory or storage.

On all transactions where the Partnership is exposed to counterparty risk, the Partnership analyzes the counterparty's financial condition prior to entering into an agreement, establishes limits and monitors the appropriateness of these limits on an ongoing basis. The Partnership primarily deals with two types of counterparties, financial institutions and other energy companies, when entering into financial derivatives on commodities. The Partnership has entered into Master International Swaps and Derivatives Association Agreements ("ISDAs") that allow for netting of swap contract receivables and payables in the event of default by either party. If the Partnership's counterparties failed to perform under existing swap contracts, the Partnership's maximum loss as of September 30, 2014 of $1.3 million would be reduced to $0.2 million due to the offsetting of gross fair value payables against gross fair value receivables as allowed by the ISDAs.
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
Assets and liabilities related to the Partnership's derivative contracts are included in the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities and the profit and loss on the mark to market value of these contracts are recorded net as a loss on derivatives in the consolidated statement of operations. The Partnership estimates the fair value of all of its derivative contracts using actively quoted prices. The estimated fair value of derivative contracts by maturity date was as follows (in millions): |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Maturity Periods |
| Less than one year | | One to two years | | More than two years | | Total fair value |
September 30, 2014 | $ | 0.2 |
| | $ | (0.3 | ) | | $ | (0.1 | ) | | $ | (0.2 | ) |
(13) Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC 820 sets forth a framework for measuring fair value and required disclosures about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. Fair value under FASB ASC 820 is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, use of unobservable prices or inputs are used to estimate the current fair value, often using an internal valuation model. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the item being valued.
FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
ENLINK MIDSTREAM, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)
The Partnership’s derivative contracts primarily consist of commodity swap contracts which are not traded on a public exchange. The fair values of commodity swap contracts are determined using discounted cash flow techniques. The techniques incorporate Level 1 and Level 2 inputs for future commodity prices that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. These market inputs are utilized in the discounted cash flow calculation considering the instrument’s term, notional amount, discount rate and credit risk and are classified as Level 2 in hierarchy.
Net liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions): |

Commodity Swaps* | $ | (0.2 | ) |
Total | $ | (0.2 | ) |
_________________________________________________ * The fair value of derivative contracts included in assets or liabilities for risk management activities represents the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current arms-length transaction adjusted for credit risk of the Partnership and/or the counterparty as required under FASB ASC 820.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value; thus, the estimates provided below are not necessarily indicative of the amount the Company could realize upon the sale or refinancing of such financial instruments (in millions):
|
| | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2014 |
| Carrying Value | | Fair Value |
Long-term debt | $ | 1,853.9 |
| | $ | 1,916.4 |
|
Obligations under capital leases | $ | 21.1 |
| | $ | 20.7 |
|
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
The Partnership had $371.0 million in outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2014. The Company had $80.5 million in borrowings under its revolving credit facility included in long-term debt as of September 30, 2014. As borrowings under the Company's credit facility and other borrowings related to E2 of $26.3 million accrued interest under floating interest rate structures, the carrying value of such indebtedness approximates fair value for the amounts outstanding. As of September 30, 2014, the Partnership had borrowings totaling $397.3 million, $446.5 million and $346.8 million, net of discount, under the 2019 Notes, 2024 Notes and 2044 Notes, with a fixed rate of 2.70%, 4.40% and 5.60%, respectively. Additionally, the Partnership had borrowings of $185.1 million, including premium, under the 2022 Notes with a fixed rate of 7.125% as of September 30, 2014. The fair value of all senior unsecured notes as of September 30, 2014 was based on Level 2 inputs from third-party market quotations. The fair value of obligations under capital leases was calculated using Level 2 inputs from third-party banks.
(14) Commitments and Contingencies
(a) Employment and Severance Agreements
Certain members of management of the Partnership are parties to employment and/or severance agreements with the General Partner. The employment and severance agreements provide those managers with severance payments in certain circumstances and, in the case of employment agreements, prohibit each such person from competing with the General Partner or its affiliates for a certain period of time following the termination of such person’s employment.
ENLINK MIDSTREAM, LLC
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)
(b) Environmental Issues
The operation of pipelines, plants and other facilities for the gathering, processing, transmitting or disposing of natural gas, NGLs, brine and other products is subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to health, safety and the environment. As an owner or operator of these facilities, the Partnership must comply with United States 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 pipelines, plants, and other 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, including citizen suits, which can include the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements, and the issuance of injunctions or restrictions on operation. Management believes that, based on currently known information, compliance with these laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
(c) Litigation Contingencies
The Partnership is involved in various litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, any liabilities that may result from these claims would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.
At times, the Partnership’s subsidiaries acquire pipeline easements and other property rights by exercising rights of eminent domain and common carrier. As a result, the Partnership (or its subsidiaries) is a party to a number of lawsuits under which a court will determine the value of pipeline easements or other property interests obtained by the Partnership’s subsidiaries by condemnation. Damage awards in these suits should reflect the value of the property interest acquired and the diminution in the value of the remaining property owned by the landowner. However, some landowners have alleged unique damage theories to inflate their damage claims or assert valuation methodologies that could result in damage awards in excess of the amounts anticipated. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcomes of these matters, the Partnership does not expect that awards in these matters will have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
The Partnership (or its subsidiaries) is defending lawsuits filed by owners of property located near processing facilities or compression facilities constructed by the Partnership as part of its systems. The suits generally allege that the facilities create a private nuisance and have damaged the value of surrounding property. Claims of this nature have arisen as a result of the industrial development of natural gas gathering, processing and treating facilities in urban and occupied rural areas.
In July 2013, the Board of Commissioners for the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority for New Orleans and surrounding areas filed a lawsuit against approximately 100 energy companies, seeking, among other relief, restoration of wetlands allegedly lost due to historic industry operations in those areas. The suit was filed in Louisiana state court in New Orleans, but was removed to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The amount of damages is unspecified. The Partnership's subsidiary, Crosstex LIG, LLC, is one of the named defendants as the owner of pipelines in the area. The validity of the causes of action, as well as the Partnership's costs and legal exposure, if any, related to the lawsuit are not currently determinable. The Partnership intends to vigorously defend the case.
In June 2014, a group of landowners in Assumption Parish, Louisiana added a subsidiary of the Partnership, EnLink Processing Services, LLC, as a defendant in a pending lawsuit they had filed against Texas Brine Company, LLC, Occidental Chemical Corporation, and Vulcan Materials Company relating to claims arising from the August 2012 sinkhole that formed in the Bayou Corne area of Assumption Parish, Louisiana. The suit is pending in the 23rd Judicial Court, Assumption Parish, Louisiana. Although plaintiffs’ claims against the other defendants have been pending since October 2012, plaintiffs are now alleging that EnLink Processing Services, LLC’s negligence also contributed to the formation of the sinkhole. The amount of damages is unspecified. The validity of the causes of action, as well as the Partnership's costs and legal exposure, if any, related to the lawsuit are not currently determinable. The Partnership intends to vigorously defend the case. The Partnership has also filed a claim for defense and indemnity with its insurers.
The Partnership owns and operates a high-pressure pipeline and underground natural gas and NGL storage reservoirs and associated facilities near Bayou Corne, Louisiana. In August 2012, a large sinkhole formed in the vicinity of these pipelines and underground storage reservoirs. The Partnership is assessing the potential for recovering its losses from responsible parties. The Partnership has sued Texas Brine, LLC, the operator of a failed cavern in the area, and its insurers seeking recovery for this

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements-(Continued)
damage. The Partnership also filed a claim with its insurers. The Partnership's insurers denied its claim. The Partnership disputes the denial but has agreed to stay the matter pending resolution of its claims against Texas Brine and its insurers. In August 2014, the Partnership received a partial settlement in the amount of $6.1 million. Additional claims related to this matter remain outstanding. The Partnership cannot give assurance that the Partnership will be able to fully recover its losses through insurance recovery or claims against responsible parties.
In October 2014, Williams Olefins, L.L.C. filed a lawsuit against a subsidiary of the Partnership, EnLink NGL Marketing, LP, in the District Court of Tulsa County, Oklahoma. The plaintiff alleges breach of contract and negligent misrepresentation relating to an ethane output contract between the parties and the subsidiary’s termination of ethane production from one of its fractionation plants. The amount of damages is unspecified. The validity of the causes of action, as well as the Partnership’s costs and legal exposure, if any, related to the lawsuit are not currently determinable. The Partnership intends to vigorously defend the case.
