NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Organization
We are a publicly-traded limited partnership formed in 2005 focused on the acquisition, development, ownership and operation of infrastructure critical to the transition of energy supply to lower carbon sources. We own natural gas gathering systems, pipelines, and processing facilities in South Texas and continue to pursue energy transition infrastructure opportunities. Our common units are currently listed on the NYSE American under the symbol “SNMP.”
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Accounting policies used by us conform to GAAP. The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of us and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows with respect to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire year. Certain amounts from the prior period have been reclassified to confirm to current period presentation.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2023.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not effective, will not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU modifies the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the currently used incurred loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of losses. Additionally, in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates,” which changed the effective date for certain issuers to annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Use of Estimates
The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. The estimates that are
12

Table of Contents
particularly significant to our financial statements include estimates of our depreciation and amortization; asset retirement obligations; certain revenues and operating expenses; and fair values of assets and liabilities. As fair value is a market-based measurement, it is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best judgment using the data available. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an on-going basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Such estimates and assumptions are adjusted when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ from the estimates. Any changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
3. DIVESTITURES
Kodiak Sale
On March 11, 2022, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Kodiak, pursuant to which we sold to Kodiak natural gas compression equipment for a purchase price of $250 thousand. We recorded a loss of approximately $2.2 million on the sale.
On May 9, 2022, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Kodiak, pursuant to which we sold to Kodiak natural gas compression equipment for a purchase price of $250 thousand. We recorded a loss of approximately $2.2 million on the sale.
4. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The unit of account in ASC 606 is a performance obligation, which is a promise in a contract to transfer to a customer either a distinct good or service (or bundle of goods or services) or a series of distinct goods or services provided over a period of time. ASC 606 requires that a contract’s transaction price, which is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, is to be allocated to each performance obligation in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices and recognized as revenue when (point in time) or as (over time) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Disaggregation of Revenue
The Gathering Agreement is classified as an operating lease and is accounted for under ASC 842, “Leases” and is reported as gathering and transportation lease revenues in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of approximately $6.4 million and $15.1 million, respectively, under ASC 842. Mesquite accounted for 100% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. We are highly dependent upon Mesquite as our only customer.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not record any revenue under ASC 606. We disaggregate revenue based on revenue and product type. In selecting the disaggregation categories, we considered a number of factors, including disclosures presented outside the financial statements, such as in our earnings release and investor presentations, information reviewed internally for evaluating performance, and other factors used by the Partnership or the users of its financial statements to evaluate performance or allocate resources. We have concluded that disaggregating revenue by revenue and product type appropriately depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
We account for income from our unconsolidated equity method investments as earnings from equity investments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Earnings from these equity method investments are further discussed in Note 11 “Investments.”
Contract Balances
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our gathering and transportation accounts receivable were approximately $2.2 million and $2.3 million, respectively, under ASC 842.

Table of Contents
On May 27, 2022, but effective as of April 1, 2022, we entered into the A&R Gathering Agreement, a related side letter agreement and the 2022 Settlement Agreement (collectively the “Settlement Documents”). We accounted for the Settlement Documents as a single contract modification of the Original Gathering Agreement under the contract combination guidance in ASC 842.
Prior to the execution of the A&R Gathering Agreement, Mesquite disputed the tariff rate for interruptible throughput volumes from Eastern Catarina (as defined below) billed from July 1, 2021 forward, which resulted in a disputed receivable balance of approximately $26.7 million. Under the terms of the A&R Gathering Agreement and other agreements concurrently entered into, approximately $15.1 million of the disputed receivable balance was paid in cash. In addition, the A&R Gathering Agreement amended key provisions of the Original Gathering Agreement in a manner favorable to us. Principally, it provides for, among other things, a new dedication of the eastern portion of Mesquite’s acreage position in Dimmit, La Salle and Webb counties, Texas (“Eastern Catarina”), whereas only Western Catarina (as defined in Note 10 “Intangible Assets”) was dedicated under the Original Gathering Agreement. The A&R Gathering Agreement also established gathering and processing fee rates for both Western Catarina and Eastern Catarina as well as rates for new production from the Dedicated Acreage (as defined in the A&R Gathering Agreement) and from the Subject Wells (as defined in the A&R Gathering Agreement).
In accordance with ASC 842, the portion of the disputed receivable balance of approximately $11.6 million we did not collect in cash was reclassified as a deferred lease incentive, reflective of the non-distinct nature of the contractual concessions received from Mesquite in the A&R Gathering Agreement. The deferred lease incentive is being amortized over the remaining term of the A&R Gathering Agreement.
Amortization of the deferred A&R Gathering Agreement lease incentive for the three months ended March 31, 2023, was approximately $0.3 million. This amortization is recorded as a reduction to gathering and transportation lease revenues in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Under our sales contracts, we invoice customers after our performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, our contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities under ASC 606. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our accounts receivables from contracts with customers was zero.
5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Measurements of fair value of derivative instruments are classified according to the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1: Measured based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Active markets are considered those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Measured based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data, or supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.
Level 3: Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets and current liabilities approximated their carrying value due to their short-term nature.
Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
The Partnership follows the provisions of Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurement,” for non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. We periodically review gathering and transportation assets for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Partnership’s asset retirement obligations is presented in Note 9 “Asset Retirement Obligation.”
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value amounts of financial instruments have been determined using available market information and valuation methodologies described below. We prioritize the use of the highest level inputs available in determining fair value such that fair value measurements are determined using the highest and best use as determined by market participants and the assumptions that they would use in determining fair value.
Credit Agreement – We believe that the carrying value of our Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7 “Debt”) approximates its fair value because the interest rates on the debt approximate market interest rates for debt with similar terms. The debt is classified as a Level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy and represents the amount at which the instrument could be valued in an exchange during a current transaction between willing parties. The Credit Agreement is discussed further in Note 7 “Debt.”
15

Table of Contents
Nuvve Holding Warrants – The Nuvve Holding Warrants (as defined in Note 6 “Derivative and Financial Instruments”) are valued using the value of Nuvve’s common stock and the Nuvve Holding Warrants exercise price. We have therefore classified the fair value measurement of the Nuvve Holding Warrants as Level 2 and is presented within fair value of warrants on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2023, the Nuvve Holding Warrants fair value was determined to be zero.
Stonepeak Warrant – As part of the Exchange (as defined in Note 15 “Partners’ Deficit”), the Partnership issued to Stonepeak Catarina the Stonepeak Warrant which entitles the holder to receive junior securities of the Partnership representing ten percent of junior securities deemed outstanding when exercised. The Stonepeak Warrant is valued using ten percent of the Partnership’s junior securities deemed outstanding and the common unit price as of the balance sheet date. We have therefore classified the fair value measurement of the Stonepeak Warrant as Level 2 and is presented within Stonepeak warrant - related entities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Earnout Derivative – As part of the Carnero Gathering Transaction (as defined in Note 11 “Investments”), we are required to pay Mesquite an earnout based on natural gas received above a threshold volume and tariff at designated delivery points from Mesquite and other producers. The earnout derivative was valued through the use of a Monte Carlo simulation model which utilized observable inputs such as the earnout price and volume commitment, as well as unobservable inputs related to the weighted probabilities of various throughput scenarios. We have therefore classified the fair value measurements of the earnout derivative as Level 3 inputs. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of the earnout was determined to be zero.
6. DERIVATIVE AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
On May 17, 2021, the Partnership entered into a letter agreement (the “Levo Letter Agreement”) with Nuvve Holding Corp. (“Nuvve Holding”) and Stonepeak Rocket Holdings LP, relating to the proposed formation of a joint venture, Levo Mobility LLC (“Levo” and such proposed joint venture, the “Levo JV”). In connection with the Levo Letter Agreement, on May 17, 2021, Nuvve Holding issued ten-year warrants to the Partnership as follows: (i) Series B Warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of Nuvve Holding’s common stock, at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, which are fully vested upon issuance; (ii) Series C warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Nuvve Holding’s common stock, at an exercise price of $15.00 per share, which are vested as to 50% of the shares upon issuance and vest as to the remaining 50% when Levo has entered into contracts with third parties for $125 million in aggregate capital expenditures; (iii) Series D warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Nuvve Holding’s common stock, at an exercise price of $20.00 per share, which are vested as to 50% of the shares upon issuance and vest as to the remaining 50% when Levo has entered into contracts with third parties for $250 million in aggregate capital expenditures; (iv) Series E warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Nuvve Holding’s common stock, at an exercise price of $30.00 per share, which are vested as to 50% of the shares upon issuance and vest as to the remaining 50% when Levo has entered into contracts with third parties for $375 million in aggregate capital expenditures; and (v) Series F warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Nuvve Holding’s common stock, at an exercise price of $40.00 per share, which are vested as to 50% of the shares upon issuance and vest as to the remaining 50% when Levo has entered into contracts with third parties for $500 million in aggregate capital expenditures (collectively, the “Nuvve Holding Warrants”). The Nuvve Holding Warrants are accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Changes in the Nuvve Holding Warrants’ fair value are recognized in earnings and included in “Other (income) expense” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the changes in fair value of the Partnership’s Nuvve Holding Warrants for the periods indicated (in thousands):

7. DEBT
Credit Agreement
We have entered into a credit agreement with Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto, as amended through the date of the Thirteenth Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 10, 2023 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides a quarterly amortizing term loan of $20.0 million (the “Term Loan”) and a maximum revolving credit amount of $5.0 million (the “Revolving Loan”). The Credit Agreement matures on September 30, 2025. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by various mortgages of midstream properties that we own as well as various security and pledge agreements among us, certain of our subsidiaries and the administrative agent.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are available for limited direct investment in midstream properties, acquisitions, and working capital and general business purposes. The Credit Agreement has a sub-limit of up to $2.5 million which may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $19.7 million of debt outstanding, consisting of approximately $18.2 million under the Term Loan and approximately $1.5 million under the Revolving Loan. We are required to make mandatory amortizing payments of outstanding principal on the Term Loan, which were, prior to the effectiveness of the Thirteenth Amendment, $3.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and $2.0 million per fiscal quarter thereafter commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, we have met our mandatory amortizing payments of outstanding principal on the Term Loan through June 2023. Following the effectiveness of the Thirteenth Amendment, the Credit Agreement requires a single amortizing payment of outstanding principal on the Term Loan of $2.5 million on each of December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025. We have approximately $3.5 million in unused borrowing capacity under the Revolving Loan. There were no letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2023.
At our election, interest for borrowings under the Credit Agreement are determined by reference to (i) the secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“SOFR”) plus an applicable margin between 2.75% and 3.50% per annum based on net debt to EBITDA or (ii) a domestic bank rate (“ABR”) plus an applicable margin between 1.75% and 2.50% per annum based on net debt to EBITDA plus (iii) a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum based on the unutilized portion of the Revolving Loan. Interest on the borrowings for ABR loans and the commitment fee are generally payable quarterly. Interest on the borrowings for SOFR loans are generally payable at the applicable maturity date.
Prior to the effective date of the Thirteenth Amendment, interest for borrowings under the Credit Agreement was determined by reference to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Upon the effectiveness of the Thirteenth Amendment, interest for borrowings under the Credit Agreement are determined by reference to SOFR.
The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that limit, among other things, our ability to incur certain indebtedness, grant certain liens, merge or consolidate, sell all or substantially all of our assets, make certain loans, acquisitions, capital expenditures and investments, and pay distributions to unitholders.
In addition, we are required to maintain the following financial covenants:
current assets to current liabilities, excluding any current maturities of debt, of at least 1.0 to 1.0 at all times; and
senior secured net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00.
The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including events of default relating to non-payment of principal, interest or fees, inaccuracy of representations and warranties when made or when deemed made, violation of covenants, cross-defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency events, certain unsatisfied judgments, loan documents not being valid and a change in control. A change in control is generally defined as the occurrence of one of the following events: (i) our existing general partner ceases to be our sole general partner or (ii) certain specified persons shall cease to own more than
17

Table of Contents
50% of the equity interests of our general partner or shall cease to control our general partner. If an event of default occurs, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of the Credit Agreement and exercise other rights and remedies.
At March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. We monitor compliance on an ongoing basis. If we are unable to remain in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our Credit Agreement or maintain the required ratios discussed above, the lenders could call an event of default and accelerate the outstanding debt under the terms of the Credit Agreement, such that our outstanding debt could become then due and payable. We may request waivers of compliance from the violated financial covenants from the lenders, but there is no assurance that such waivers would be granted.
We are required to make mandatory amortizing payments of the outstanding principal on the Term Loan and we expect these amortizing payments will be made from our operating cash flows and other capital resources. However, there can be no assurance that operations and other capital resources will provide cash in sufficient amounts to make these mandatory amortizing payments.
Debt Issuance Costs
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our unamortized debt issuance costs were approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. These costs are amortized to interest expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations over the life of our Credit Agreement. Amortization of debt issuance costs recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization. Gathering and transportation assets, are stated at historical acquisition cost, net of any impairments, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, which range from 3 to 15 years for furniture and equipment, up to 36 years for gathering facilities, and up to 40 years for transportation assets.

Impairment of Gathering and Transportation Assets. We perform a periodic review of gathering and transportation assets to identify facts and circumstances, or triggering events, that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Asset recoverability is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset or asset group with its expected future pre-tax undiscounted cash flows. These cash flow estimates require us to make projections and assumptions for many years into the future for pricing, demand, competition, operating cost and other factors. If the carrying amount exceeds the expected future undiscounted cash flows, we recognize an impairment equal to the excess of net book value over fair value. The determination of the fair value using present value techniques requires us to make projections and assumptions regarding the probability of a range of outcomes and the rates of interest used in the present value calculations. Any changes we make to these projections and assumptions could result in significant revisions to our evaluation of
18

Table of Contents
recoverability of our gathering and transportation assets and the recognition of additional impairments. Upon disposition or retirement of gathering and transportation assets, any gain or loss is recorded to operations.
9. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
We recognize the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Each period, we accrete the ARO to its then present value. The associated asset retirement cost (“ARC”) is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of our gathering and transportation assets. Subsequently, the ARC is depreciated using the straight-line method. The AROs recorded by us relate to the abandonment of natural gas gathering and other facilities.
Inherent in the fair value calculation of AROs are numerous assumptions and judgments including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, credit adjusted discount rates, timing of settlement and changes in the legal, regulatory, environmental and political environments. To the extent future revisions to these assumptions result in adjustments to the recorded fair value of the existing ARO, a corresponding adjustment is made to the ARC capitalized as part of gathering and transportation assets.
The following table is a reconciliation of changes in ARO for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended
March 31, 2023
Year Ended

Asset retirement obligation, beginning balance $5,121 $4,700 
Accretion expense 111 421 
Asset retirement obligation, ending balance $5,232 $5,121 
Additional AROs increase the liability associated with new gathering and transportation assets and other facilities as these obligations are incurred. Abandonments of gathering and transportation assets and other facilities reduce the liability for AROs. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no significant expenditures for abandonments and there were no assets legally restricted for purposes of settling existing AROs.
10. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets are comprised of customer and marketing contracts. The intangible assets balance as of March 31, 2023 is related to the Gathering Agreement with Mesquite that was entered into as part of the acquisition of the Catarina Gathering System, which is located on the western portion of Mesquite’s acreage position in Dimmit, La Salle and Webb counties, Texas (the western portion of such acreage, “Western Catarina”). Pursuant to the Gathering Agreement, Mesquite tenders all of its crude oil, natural gas and other hydrocarbon-based product volumes produced in Western Catarina and Eastern Catarina for processing and transportation through the Catarina Gathering System. These intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over the 17-year life of the agreement. We perform a periodic review of intangible assets to identify facts and circumstances, or triggering events, that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.
Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $2.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively. These costs are amortized to depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table is a reconciliation of changes in intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

11. INVESTMENTS
In July 2016, we completed a transaction pursuant to which we acquired from Mesquite a 50% interest in Carnero Gathering, LLC (“Carnero Gathering”), a joint venture that was 50% owned and operated by Targa Resources Corp. (NYSE: TRGP) (“Targa”), for an initial payment of approximately $37.0 million and the assumption of remaining capital commitments to Carnero Gathering, estimated at approximately $7.4 million as of the acquisition date (the “Carnero Gathering Transaction”). The fair value of the intangible asset for the contractual customer relationship related to Carnero Gathering was valued at approximately $13.0 million. This amount is being amortized over a contract term of 15 years and decreases earnings from equity investments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As part of the Carnero Gathering Transaction, we are required to pay Mesquite an earnout based on natural gas received above a threshold volume and tariff at designated delivery points from Mesquite and other producers. See Note 5 “Fair Value Measurements” for further discussion of the earnout derivative.
In November 2016, we completed a transaction pursuant to which we acquired from Mesquite a 50% interest in Carnero Processing, LLC (“Carnero Processing”), a joint venture that was 50% owned and operated by Targa, for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $55.5 million and the assumption of remaining capital contribution commitments to Carnero Processing, estimated at approximately $24.5 million as of the date of acquisition.
In May 2018, we executed a series of agreements with Targa and other parties pursuant to which, among other things: (1) the parties merged their respective 50% interests in Carnero Gathering and Carnero Processing (the “Carnero JV Transaction”) to form an expanded 50 / 50 joint venture in South Texas, within Carnero G&P, LLC (“Carnero JV”), (2) Targa contributed 100% of the equity interest in the Silver Oak II Gas Processing Plant (“Silver Oak II Plant”), located in Bee County, Texas, to Carnero JV, which expands the processing capacity of Carnero JV from 260 MMcf/d to 460 MMcf/d, (3) Targa contributed certain capacity in the 45 miles of high pressure natural gas gathering pipelines owned by Carnero Gathering (the “Carnero Gathering Line”) that connect the Catarina Gathering System to nearby pipelines and the 260 MMcf/d cryogenic natural gas processing plant located in La Salle County, Texas (the “Raptor Plant”) to Carnero JV resulting in Carnero JV owning all of the capacity in the Carnero Gathering Line, which has a design limit (without compression) of 400 MMcf/d, (4) Carnero JV received a new dedication from Mesquite and its working interest partners of over 315,000 acres located in the Western Eagle Ford on Mesquite’s acreage in Dimmit, Webb, La Salle, Zavala and Maverick counties, Texas (such acreage is collectively referred to as Mesquite’s “Comanche Asset”) pursuant to a new long-term firm gas gathering and processing agreement. The agreement with Mesquite, which was approved by all of the unaffiliated Comanche Asset working interest partners, establishes commercial terms for the gathering of gas on the Carnero Gathering Line and processing at the Raptor Plant and the Silver Oak II Plant. As a result of the Carnero JV Transaction, we now record our share of earnings and losses from Carnero JV using the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (“HLBV”) method of accounting. HLBV is a balance-sheet approach that calculates the amount we would have received if Carnero JV were liquidated at book value at the end of each measurement period. The change in our allocated amount during the period is recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In the event of the liquidation of Carnero JV, available proceeds are first distributed to any priority return and unpaid capital associated with the Silver Oak II Plant, and then to members in accordance with their capital accounts.
As of March 31, 2023, the Partnership had paid approximately $124.7 million for its investment in Carnero JV related to the initial payments and contributed capital. The Partnership has accounted for this investment using the equity method. Targa is the operator of Carnero JV and has significant influence with respect to the normal day-to-day capital and operating decisions. We have included the investment balance in the equity investments caption on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Partnership recorded earnings of approximately $0.4 million in equity investments from Carnero JV, which was adjusted by approximately $0.3 million related to the amortization of the contractual customer intangible asset. We have included these equity method earnings in the earnings from equity investments line within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. No cash distributions were received during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

including reimbursement of costs. As of March 31, 2023, we have not redeemed any Class C Preferred Units and, as a result, we have not issued any common units to SP Holdings in connection with providing services under the Shared Services Agreement for any quarter following the quarter ended June 30, 2019. As of March 31, 2023, the number of units to be issued under the Shared Services Agreement is 21,473,205. At March 31, 2023, the value of these units was approximately $5.7 million and is recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accrued shared services fees - related entities.
Class C Preferred Units
On August 2, 2019, Stonepeak exchanged all of their current equity ownership for newly issued Class C Preferred Units and the Original Warrant in a private placement transaction (the “Exchange”).
The holders of the Class C Preferred Units receive a quarterly distribution of 14.0% per annum payable in cash. To the extent that Available Cash (as defined in our partnership agreement) is insufficient to pay the distribution in cash, all or a portion of the distribution may be paid in Class C Preferred PIK Units. Distributions are to be paid on or about the last day of each of February, May, August and November following the end of each quarter and are charged to interest expense - related entities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of January 1, 2022, Adjusted Available Cash (as defined in our partnership agreement) will be distributed to holders of the Class C Preferred Units to redeem a number of Class C Preferred Units to be determined based on the amount of Adjusted Available Cash. As of March 31, 2023, no Class C Preferred Units have been redeemed. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded non-cash interest expense related to the Class C Preferred Units of approximately $14.9 million and $14.4 million, respectively, which are recorded in interest expense - related entities on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Class C Preferred Units are accounted for as a current liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheets consisting of the following (in thousands):

Stonepeak Warrant
On August 2, 2019, in connection with the Exchange, the Partnership issued to Stonepeak the Original Warrant, which entitles the holder to receive junior securities of the Partnership representing ten percent of junior securities deemed outstanding when exercised. The Stonepeak Warrant expires on the later of August 2, 2026 or 30 days following the full redemption of the Class C Preferred Units. There is no strike price associated with the exercise of the Stonepeak Warrant. The Stonepeak Warrant is accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC 480 and is presented within other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the Stonepeak Warrant are charged to interest expense - related entities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded an expense of approximately $1.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively, related to the Stonepeak Warrant.
Earnings per Unit
Net income (loss) per common unit for the period is based on any distributions that are made to the unitholders (common units) plus an allocation of undistributed net income (loss) based on provisions of our partnership agreement, divided by the weighted average number of common units outstanding. Unit-based awards granted but unvested are eligible to receive distributions. The underlying unvested restricted unit awards are considered participating securities for purposes of determining net income (loss) per unit. Undistributed income is allocated to participating securities based on the proportional relationship of the weighted average number of common units and unit-based awards outstanding. Undistributed losses (including those resulting from distributions in excess of net income) are allocated to common units based on provisions of our partnership agreement. Undistributed losses are not allocated to unvested restricted unit awards as they do not participate in net losses. Distributions declared and paid in the period are treated as distributed earnings in the computation of earnings per common unit even though cash distributions are not necessarily derived from current or prior period earnings.
The Partnership’s general partner does not have an economic interest in the Partnership and, therefore, does not participate in the Partnership’s net income.
16. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Partnership’s investment in Carnero JV represents a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that could expose the Partnership to losses. The amount of losses the Partnership could be exposed to from Carnero JV is limited to the capital investment of approximately $15.1 million.
As of March 31, 2023, the Partnership had invested approximately $124.7 million in Carnero JV and no debt has been incurred by Carnero JV. We have included this VIE in equity investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Below is a tabular comparison of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the VIE and the Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

On November 9, 2021, the Partnership entered into a Gas Compression Agreement with Kodiak to lease gas compression units from Kodiak (the “Gas Compression Agreement”). All leased units have a 36 month primary term commencing on the startup date. Following the primary term of the leased units, the Gas Compression Agreement calls for continuation of the term on a month-to-month basis until terminated with 30 days written notice.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April, 28 2023, the Partnership received written notice of Stonepeak Catarina’s election to receive distributions on the Class C Preferred Units for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 in common units. The aggregate distribution of 28,403,130 common units (the “Q123 Stonepeak Units”) is payable to Stonepeak Catarina following satisfaction of certain issuance conditions, including, among other things, the compliance by the Partnership and Stonepeak with any applicable federal securities laws applicable to the issuance of the Q123 Stonepeak Units.

How We Evaluate Our Operations
We evaluate our business on the basis of the following key measures:
our throughput volumes on gathering systems upon acquiring those assets;
our operating expenses; and
our Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure (for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure please read “–Non-GAAP Financial Measures–Adjusted EBITDA”).
26

Table of Contents
Throughput Volumes
Our management analyzes our performance based on the aggregate amount of throughput volumes on the Catarina Gathering System, which is our sole gathering system. We must connect additional wells or well pads within Mesquite’s Catarina Asset in order to maintain or increase throughput volumes on the Catarina Gathering System. Our success in connecting additional wells is impacted by successful drilling activity by Mesquite on the acreage dedicated to the Catarina Gathering System, our ability to secure volumes from Mesquite or third parties from new wells drilled on non-dedicated acreage, our ability to attract hydrocarbon volumes currently gathered by our competitors and our ability to cost-effectively construct or acquire new infrastructure.
Operating Expenses
Our management seeks to maximize Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, in part by minimizing operating expenses. These expenses are or will be comprised primarily of field operating costs (which generally consists of labor, vehicles, supervision, transportation, minor maintenance, tools and supplies expenses, among other items), compression expense, ad valorem taxes and other operating costs, some of which will be independent of the throughput volumes on the midstream gathering system but fluctuate depending on the scale of our operations during a specific period.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures—Adjusted EBITDA
To supplement our financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, we use Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, in this Form 10-Q. We believe that non-GAAP financial measures are helpful in understanding our past financial performance and potential future results, particularly in light of the effect of various transactions effected by us. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted by: (i) interest (income) expense, net, which includes interest expense, interest expense net (gain) loss on interest rate derivative contracts, and interest (income); (ii) interest expense, net - related entities, which includes distributions on the Class C Preferred Units and the non-cash change in fair value of the Stonepeak Warrant; (iii) income tax expense (benefit); (iv) depreciation, depletion and amortization; (v) asset impairments; (vi) accretion expense; (vii) (gain) loss on sale of assets; (viii) unit-based compensation expense; (ix) unit-based asset management fees; (x) distributions in excess of equity earnings; (xi) (gain) loss on mark-to-market activities; (xii) commodity derivatives settled early; (xiii) (gain) loss on embedded derivatives; and (xiv) acquisition and divestiture costs.
Adjusted EBITDA is used as a quantitative standard by our management and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, research analysts, our lenders and others to assess: (i) the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis; (ii) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs and support our indebtedness; and (iii) our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing or capital structure.
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss). Our non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some but not all items that affect net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.

Gathering and transportation lease revenues. Gathering and transportation lease revenues decreased approximately $0.3 million or 5%, to approximately $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to approximately $6.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in throughput.
Transportation operating expenses. Our transportation operating expenses generally consist of equipment rentals, chemicals, treating, metering fees, permit and regulatory fees, labor, minor maintenance, tools, supplies and pipeline integrity management expenses and ad valorem taxes. Our transportation operating expenses decreased by approximately $0.4 million, or 14%, to approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to approximately $2.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was due to a decrease in non-recurring maintenance as well as a decrease in throughput.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses include field office expenses, professional fees and other costs not directly associated with field operations. General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $1.2 million, or 34%, to approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily the result of a payment of approximately $1.4 million related to executive termination bonuses, which was paid with a combination of cash and common units. The payment was accrued in the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents
General and administrative expense (benefit) - related entities. General and administrative expense (benefit) - related entities include indirect costs billed by SP Holdings in connection with the Shared Services Agreement. General and administrative expense - related entities increased by approximately $5.8 million to approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a credit of approximately $3.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily the result of the mark-to-market impact on indirect costs billed in connection with the Shared Services Agreement of approximately $5.8 million as a result of the increase in the market price of our common units during the period.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Gathering and transportation assets are stated at historical acquisition cost, net of any impairments, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 15 years for equipment and up to 36 years for gathering facilities. Our depreciation and amortization expense was consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense consists of cash interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs from borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Interest expense increased approximately $0.1 million, or 12%, to approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022.
Interest expense, net - related entities. Interest expense, net - related entities consists of distributions on the Class C Preferred Units and the non-cash change in fair value of the Stonepeak Warrant. Interest expense, net - related entities increased approximately $6.6 million, or 65%, to approximately $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to approximately $10.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. This increase was the result of an increase in the price of our common units which caused the Stonepeak Warrant value to increase.
Earnings from equity investment. Earnings from equity investments decreased approximately $0.3 million, or 68%, to earnings of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to earnings of approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in throughput.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense decreased approximately $16.6 thousand, or 47%, to approximately $19.0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to an expense of approximately $35.6 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in income tax expense resulted from a decrease in taxable margin over the comparable periods.

Gathering and transportation lease revenues. Gathering and transportation lease revenues decreased approximately $8.7 million, or 58%, to approximately $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to approximately $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the tariff charged for hydrocarbons transported on Eastern Catarina under the A&R Gathering Agreement, effective as of April 1, 2022, as well as a decrease in throughput.
Transportation operating expenses. Our transportation operating expenses generally consist of equipment rentals, chemicals, treating, metering fees, permit and regulatory fees, labor, minor maintenance, tools, supplies and pipeline integrity management expenses and ad valorem taxes. Our transportation operating expenses increased by approximately $0.4 million, or 20%, to approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to replacing previously owned equipment with leased equipment and rising costs for chemicals, labor, maintenance, tools and supplies as a result of recent inflation and ongoing supply chain constraints. This increase was slightly offset by a decrease in throughput.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses include field office expenses, professional fees and other costs not directly associated with field operations. General and administrative expenses decreased by
31

Table of Contents
approximately $0.5 million, or 16%, to approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to approximately $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in professional fees surrounding the disputed rate charged on Western Catarina Midstream and the A&R Gathering Agreement.
General and administrative expense (benefit) - related entities. General and administrative expense (benefit) - related entities include indirect costs billed by SP Holdings in connection with the Shared Services Agreement. General and administrative expense - related entity increased by approximately $2.4 million to approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to a credit of approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily the result of the mark-to-market impact on indirect costs billed in connection with the Shared Services Agreement of approximately $2.4 million due to the volatility in the market price of our common units during the period.
Loss on sale of assets. The loss on sale of assets during the three months ended March 31, 2022, was approximately $2.2 million, which loss was the result of the sale of certain gathering and transportation equipment which was replaced with leased equipment.
Depreciation and amortization expense. Gathering and transportation assets are stated at historical acquisition cost, net of any impairments, and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets, which range from 5 to 15 years for equipment and up to 36 years for gathering facilities. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by approximately $0.7 million, or 14% to approximately $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to approximately $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease was primarily the result of the Kodiak Sale. Additionally, the A&R Gathering Agreement extended the expected life of the customer contract intangible asset which reduced the amortization amount recognized by period.
Interest expense, net. Interest expense consists of cash interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs from borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Interest expense decreased approximately $20.0 thousand, or 4%, to approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Interest expense, net - related entities. Interest expense, net - related entities consists of distributions on the Class C Preferred Units and the non-cash change in fair value of the Stonepeak Warrant. Interest expense, net - related entities increased approximately $1.9 million, or 12%, to approximately $16.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to approximately $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was the result of an increase in the price of our common units which caused the Stonepeak Warrant value to increase as well as the result of additional Class C Preferred PIK Units issued during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Earnings from equity investment. Earnings from equity investments decreased approximately $3.2 million, or 96%, to earnings of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to earnings of approximately $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease in earnings was a result of the expiration of a minimum volume commitment in April 2022.
Other (income) expense. Other (income) expense includes the mark-to-market impact of the Nuvve Holding Warrants as well as other expenses and income not associated with our operations. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was approximately $2.0 thousand compared to other expense of approximately $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. The expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was related to a reduction in the fair value of the Nuvve Holding Warrants to zero. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the fair value of the Nuvve Holding Warrants remained at zero.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense was approximately $19.0 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to an expense of approximately $65.9 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in income tax expense resulted from a decrease in taxable margin over the comparable periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $1.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.5 million available for borrowing under the Credit Agreement, as discussed further below. Adjusted Available Cash (as defined in our partnership
32

Table of Contents
agreement), if any, will be distributed to holders of the Class C Preferred Units to redeem a number of Class C Preferred Units to be determined based on the amount of Adjusted Available Cash.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we paid approximately $0.4 million in cash for interest on borrowings under our Credit Agreement. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded interest expense related to the Class C Preferred Units of approximately $14.9 million, which is recorded in interest expense - related entities on our consolidated statements of operations. These are non-cash interest expense items.
Our capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were funded with cash on hand. In the future, capital and liquidity are anticipated to be provided by operating cash flows, borrowings under our Credit Agreement, sale of certain non-commercial assets and proceeds from the issuance of additional debt, additional common units or other limited partner interests. We expect that the combination of these capital resources will be adequate to meet our short-term working capital requirements and long-term capital expenditures program. However, there can be no assurance that operations and other capital resources will provide cash in sufficient amounts to maintain our current debt level, planned levels of capital expenditures, operating expenses or any cash distributions that we may make to unitholders.
We believe that our balances of cash, cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to satisfy cash requirements over the next twelve months, including relating to working capital, amortizing debt payments on the Term Loan, and maintenance and expansion capital expenditures. We may also consider issuing additional debt, common units, or other partnership interest. However, there can be no assurance that operations and other capital resources will provide cash in sufficient amounts to maintain our current debt level, planned levels of capital expenditures, or operating expenses.
Credit Agreement
The Credit Agreement provides a quarterly amortizing Term Loan of $20.0 million and a Revolving Loan with a maximum revolving credit amount of $5.0 million. The Term Loan and Revolving Loan both have a maturity date of September 30, 2025. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by various mortgages of midstream properties that we own as well as various security and pledge agreements among us, certain of our subsidiaries and the administrative agent.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are available for limited direct investment in midstream properties, acquisitions, and working capital and general business purposes. The Credit Agreement has a sub-limit of up to $2.5 million which may be used for the issuance of letters of credit. As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $19.7 million of debt outstanding, consisting of approximately $18.2 million under the Term Loan and approximately $1.5 million under the Revolving Loan. We are required to make mandatory amortizing payments of outstanding principal on the Term Loan, which were, prior to the effectiveness of the Thirteenth Amendment, $3.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and $2.0 million per fiscal quarter thereafter commencing with the quarter ended March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, we have met our mandatory amortizing payments of outstanding principal on the Term Loan through June 2023. Following the effectiveness of the Thirteenth Amendment, the Credit Agreement requires a single amortizing payment of outstanding principal on the Term Loan of $2.5 million on each of December 31, 2023, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025. We have approximately $3.5 million in unused borrowing capacity under the Revolving Loan. There were no letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2023.
At our election, interest for borrowings under the Credit Agreement are determined by reference to (i) SOFR plus an applicable margin between 2.75% and 3.50% per annum based on net debt to EBITDA or (ii) ABR plus an applicable margin between 1.75% and 2.50% per annum based on net debt to EBITDA plus (iii) a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum based on the unutilized portion of the Revolving Loan. Interest on the borrowings for ABR loans and the commitment fee are generally payable quarterly. Interest on the borrowings for SOFR loans are generally payable at the applicable maturity date.
Prior to the effective date of the Thirteenth Amendment, interest for borrowings under the Credit Agreement were determined by reference to LIBOR. Upon the effectiveness of the Thirteenth Amendment, interest for borrowings under the Credit Agreement are instead determined by reference to SOFR.
The Credit Agreement contains various covenants that limit, among other things, our ability to incur certain indebtedness, grant certain liens, merge or consolidate, sell all or substantially all of our assets, make certain loans, acquisitions, capital expenditures and investments, and pay distributions to unitholders.

In addition, we are required to maintain the following financial covenants:
current assets to current liabilities, excluding any current maturities of debt, of at least 1.0 to 1.0 at all times; and
senior secured net debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months, as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, of not greater than 3.25 to 1.00.
The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including events of default relating to non-payment of principal, interest or fees, inaccuracy of representations and warranties when made or when deemed made, violation of covenants, cross-defaults, bankruptcy and insolvency events, certain unsatisfied judgments, loan documents not being valid and a change in control. A change in control is generally defined as the occurrence of one of the following events: (i) our existing general partner ceases to be our sole general partner or (ii) certain specified persons shall cease to own more than 50% of the equity interests of our general partner or shall cease to control our general partner. If an event of default occurs, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of the Credit Agreement and exercise other rights and remedies.
Our partnership agreement prohibits us from paying any distributions on our common units until we have redeemed all of the Class C Preferred Units. Following such redemption, the Credit Agreement further limits our ability to pay distributions to unitholders.
At March 31, 2023, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement. We monitor compliance on an ongoing basis. If we are unable to remain in compliance with the financial covenants contained in our Credit Agreement or maintain the required ratios discussed above, the lenders could call an event of default and accelerate the outstanding debt under the terms of the Credit Agreement, such that our outstanding debt could become then due and payable. We may request waivers of compliance from the violated financial covenants from the lenders, but there is no assurance that such waivers would be granted.
Sources of Debt and Equity Financing
As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $18.2 million of debt outstanding under the Term Loan and approximately $1.5 million of debt outstanding under the Revolving Loan, leaving us with approximately $3.5 million in unused borrowing capacity. There were no letters of credit outstanding under our Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2023. Our Credit Agreement matures on September 30, 2025.
Operating Cash Flows
We had net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of approximately $0.7 million, compared to net cash flows provided by operating activities of approximately $1.8 million for the same period in 2022. This decrease was primarily related to the decrease in throughput between the periods.
Our operating cash flows are subject to many variables, the most significant of which is the volume of oil and natural gas transported through our midstream assets. Our future operating cash flows will depend on oil and natural gas transported through our midstream assets.
Investing Activities
We had net cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023, of approximately $1.3 million, substantially all of which were related to midstream activities.
We also had net cash flows used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022, of approximately $0.6 million, substantially all of which were related to midstream activities.
Financing Activities
Net cash flows used in financing activities was approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repaid borrowings of approximately $0.5 million under our Credit Agreement.

Net cash flows used in financing activities was approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we repaid borrowings of approximately $1.5 million under our Credit Agreement.
Credit Markets and Counterparty Risk
We actively monitor the credit exposure and risks associated with our counterparties. Additionally, we continue to monitor global credit markets to limit our potential exposure to credit risk where possible. Our primary credit exposures result from the generation of substantially all of our midstream revenues from a single customer, Mesquite.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
As of March 31, 2023, there were no changes with regard to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
