Note 4 – Joint Ventures, Acquisitions and Divestitures

 

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 an approximately 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 own a 75% interest in Grand Prix Pipeline LLC, a 100% interest in Train 6 and owned a 25% equity interest in GCX, prior to the GCX Sale (as defined below) in February 2022. The change in our ownership interests was accounted for as an equity transaction representing the acquisition of noncontrolling interests. The amount of the redemption price in excess of the carrying amount, net of tax was $53.1 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.

 

Acquisitions

 

Southcross Acquisition

 

In April 2022, we closed on the acquisition of Southcross Energy Operating LLC and its subsidiaries (“Southcross”) for a purchase price of $201.9 million (the “Southcross Acquisition”), subject to customary closing adjustments. We expect to make a final closing adjustment payment of approximately $4 million in the third 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 operated joint ventures in South Texas that we previously held as investments in unconsolidated affiliates and have been prospectively 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 operated joint ventures for purposes of consolidation. We allocated $169.7 million, $6.6 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.

 

 

Subsequent Event

 

Lucid Acquisition

 

On July 29, 2022, we closed on the acquisition of all interests in Lucid Energy Delaware, LLC (“Lucid”) from Riverstone Holdings LLC and Goldman Sachs Asset Management for approximately $3.55 billion in cash (the “Lucid Acquisition”), subject to customary closing adjustments. Lucid provides natural gas gathering, treating, and processing services in the Delaware Basin, and owns and operates 1,050 miles of natural gas pipelines and approximately 1.4 billion cubic feet per day (“Bcf/d”) of cryogenic natural gas processing capacity in service or under construction located primarily in Eddy and Lea counties of New Mexico. Lucid’s Delaware Basin assets are integrated into our Permian Delaware operations. At the time of this filing, it is impracticable to disclose all the information required by ASC 805, Business Combinations, as we are in the process of evaluating the purchase accounting and pro forma implications of the transaction.

 

Divestitures

 

In May 2022, we completed the sale of Targa GCX Pipeline LLC 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 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
