Acquisitions

 

DevCo Joint Ventures

 

In February 2018, we formed three development joint ventures (“DevCo JVs”) with investment vehicles affiliated with Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners (“Stonepeak”) to fund portions of Grand Prix NGL Pipeline (“Grand Prix”), Gulf Coast Express Pipeline (“GCX”) and a 110 MBbl/d fractionator in Mont Belvieu, Texas (“Train 6”). For a four-year period beginning on the date that all three projects commenced commercial operations, we had the option to acquire all or part of Stonepeak’s interests in the DevCo JVs (the “DevCo JV Call Right”). The purchase price payable for such partial or full interests was based on a predetermined fixed return or multiple on invested capital, including distributions received by Stonepeak from the DevCo JVs.

 

In January 2022, we exercised the DevCo JV Call Right and closed on the purchase of all of Stonepeak’s interests in the DevCo JVs for $926.3 million (the “DevCo JV Repurchase”). Following the DevCo JV Repurchase, we owned a 75% interest in the Permian to Mont Belvieu segment of Grand Prix through Grand Prix Pipeline LLC (the “Grand Prix Joint Venture”) (prior to the Grand Prix Transaction, as defined below), a 100% interest in Train 6 and a 25% equity interest in GCX (prior to the GCX Sale as defined below in February 2022). The changes in our ownership interests were accounted for as equity transactions representing the acquisitions of noncontrolling interests. The amount of the redemption price in excess of the carrying amount, net of tax was $53.2 million, which was accounted for as a premium on repurchase of noncontrolling interests, and resulted in a reduction to Net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. In addition, the DevCo JV Repurchase resulted in an $857.9 million reduction of Noncontrolling interests on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Subsequent Event

 

On January 9, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Blackstone Energy Partners’ 25% interest in Grand Prix Joint Venture (the “Grand Prix Transaction”) for aggregate consideration of $1.05 billion, subject to certain closing adjustments. Following the closing of the Grand Prix Transaction, we own 100% of the interest in Grand Prix.

 

South Texas Acquisition

 

In April 2022, we completed the acquisition of Southcross Energy Operating LLC and its subsidiaries (“Southcross”) for a purchase price of $201.9 million (the “South Texas Acquisition”), subject to customary closing adjustments. We made a final net working capital adjustment payment of approximately $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. We acquired a portfolio of complementary midstream infrastructure assets and associated contracts that have been integrated into our SouthTX Gathering and Processing operations, including the remaining interests in the two joint ventures in South Texas that we previously held as investments in unconsolidated affiliates and that have been consolidated beginning in the second quarter of 2022. We accounted for the purchase as an asset acquisition and have capitalized $1.8 million of acquisition-related costs and assumed liabilities of $1.8 million as components of the cost of assets acquired. We allocated $28.1 million to our purchase of Southcross’ interest in the two joint ventures for purposes of consolidation and $169.7 million, $3.9 million and $5.3 million of the residual cost to property, plant and equipment, current assets and liabilities, net and other non-current assets, respectively.

 

Delaware Basin Acquisition

 

In July 2022, we completed the acquisition of all of the interests in Lucid Energy Delaware, LLC (“Lucid”) from Riverstone Holdings LLC and Goldman Sachs Asset Management for approximately $3.5 billion in cash (the “Delaware Basin Acquisition”), subject to customary closing adjustments. We received a final net working capital adjustment payment of approximately $11.4 million in the fourth

quarter of 2022. We funded the acquisition with (i) $1.5 billion in proceeds drawn under our Term Loan Agreement with Mizuho Bank, Ltd. (“Mizuho”) as the Administrative Agent and a lender, and other lenders party thereto (the “Term Loan Facility”), (ii) $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 5.200% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “5.200% Notes”) and $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our 6.250% Senior Notes due 2052 (the “6.250% Notes”) pursuant to an underwritten public offering that closed in July 2022 and (iii) $800.0 million drawn on our $2.75 billion TRGP revolving credit facility (the “TRGP Revolver”). We recorded $16.9 million of debt issuance costs related to the Term Loan Facility, the 5.200% Notes and the 6.250% Notes in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 8 – Debt Obligations for further details on our financing activities.

 

The assets acquired in the Delaware Basin Acquisition provide natural gas gathering, treating, and processing services in the Delaware Basin, through owning and operating approximately 1,050 miles of natural gas pipelines and approximately 1.4 billion cubic feet per day (“Bcf/d”) of cryogenic natural gas processing capacity primarily in Eddy and Lea counties of New Mexico. The Delaware Basin Acquisition assets increase our footprint in the Delaware Basin and are integrated into our Permian Delaware operations.

 

The Delaware Basin Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their fair value on the acquisition date. The valuation of the acquired assets and liabilities was prepared using fair value methods and assumptions, including projections of future production volumes, commodity prices, and other cash flows, market-participant assumptions (e.g., discount rate and exit multiple), expectations regarding customer contracts and relationships, tangible asset replacement costs, and other management estimates. 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, as defined in Note 15 – Fair Value Measurements. These inputs require judgments and estimates at the time of valuation.

 

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation based on the final fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):

The fair value of the assets acquired includes trade receivables of $211.0 million. The gross amount due under contract was $213.4 million, of which $2.4 million was expected to be uncollectible. Trade receivables, net of allowances, excludes $18.5 million that was due from Targa. We reflected this settlement of a preexisting relationship as a reduction of the purchase price in accordance with ASC 805.

 

The value of property, plant and equipment is determined using the cost approach and is primarily comprised of Gathering and Processing assets that will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated weighted-average useful life of 20 years. The associated useful lives of property, plant and equipment were based on the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows.

 

The value of intangible assets is comprised of customer relationships, which represent estimated value of long-term contracts with customers, that will be amortized in a manner that closely resembles the expected benefit pattern of the intangible assets over an estimated useful life of 14 years. The associated useful lives of intangible assets were based on the period over which the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to our future cash flows. The fair value of customer relationships was determined at the date of acquisition based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using the multi-period excess earnings method. The significant assumptions used by management in determining the fair value of customer relationships intangible assets include future revenues, discount rate, and customer attrition rates.

 

The fair values of the tangible and intangible assets are Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the intangible assets was determined by applying a discounted cash flow approach, which utilized a discount rate of approximately 19% based on our estimate of the risk that a theoretical market participant would assign to the respective intangible assets, and customer attrition rates of approximately 5%.

 

The results of operations attributable to the assets and liabilities acquired in the Delaware Basin Acquisition have been included in our consolidated financial statements as part of our Permian Delaware operations in the Gathering and Processing segment since the date of the acquisition. Revenue and Net Income attributable to the assets acquired for the period August 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 were $374.1 million and $7.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, we had incurred $14.4 million of acquisition-related costs.

Divestitures

 

Sale of Assets in Channelview, Texas

 

In October 2020, we closed on the sale of our assets in Channelview, Texas for approximately $58 million. As a result of the sale, we recognized a loss of $58.3 million included within Other operating (income) expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations to reduce the carrying value of our assets to their recoverable amounts. The sale of the assets is included in our Logistics and Transportation segment and does not qualify for reporting as a discontinued operation, as its divestiture did not represent a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our operations or financial results.

 

Sale of Targa GCX Pipeline LLC

 

In May 2022, we completed the sale of Targa GCX Pipeline LLC, which held a 25% equity interest in GCX, to a third party for $857.0 million (the “GCX Sale”). As a result of the GCX Sale, we recognized a gain of $435.9 million in Gain (loss) from sale of equity method investment in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in 2022.
