EQT MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, LP
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Introduction

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of EQT Midstream Partners, LP (Partnership) as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 are derived from the historical audited and unaudited financial statements of the Partnership and the Jupiter Gathering System (Jupiter).

 

On April 30, 2014, EQM Gathering Opco, LLC (EQM Gathering), a subsidiary of the Partnership, the Partnership, EQT Midstream Services, LLC (the general partner of the Partnership and a wholly owned subsidiary of EQT Corporation) and EQT Gathering, LLC (EQT Gathering), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of EQT Corporation (EQT) entered into a Contribution Agreement pursuant to which EQT Gathering will contribute to EQM Gathering certain assets constituting Jupiter in exchange for total consideration of $1,180 million (the Jupiter acquisition) subject to the terms of, and upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in, the Contribution Agreement.

 

The Partnership and Jupiter are controlled by a common parent entity, EQT; therefore, the contribution of Jupiter to the Partnership is a transaction between entities under common control.  As a result, Jupiter’s assets and liabilities will be recorded by the Partnership at their historical cost, with the difference between this historical cost and the acquisition proceeds being recorded as an adjustment to partners’ capital.

 

The unaudited pro forma statements of consolidated operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014, are based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of the Partnership, as presented in the Partnership’s Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the historical financial statements of Jupiter, as presented in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The unaudited pro forma statements of consolidated operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 have been prepared as if the Jupiter acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet has been prepared as if the Jupiter acquisition occurred on March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the assumption that the Partnership will continue to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and therefore will not be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes and with the historical audited and unaudited financial statements and related notes.

 

The Partnership expects to finance the Jupiter acquisition by issuing common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership and borrowing under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements give pro forma effect to the following:

 

·                  the issuance of 8,750,000 common units in this offering for net proceeds of approximately $633 million in cash;

·                  the borrowing of approximately $488 million under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility; and

·                  EQT’s contributions of the Jupiter assets to the Partnership in exchange for $1,121 million in cash, consisting of the net proceeds of this offering and borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and the issuance to EQT of 594,393 common units for approximately $45 million, and the issuance of 190,703 general partner units for approximately $14 million.

 

The adjustments to the historical audited and unaudited financial statements are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. Actual effects of these transactions will differ from the pro forma adjustments. However, management believes that the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions as contemplated and that the pro forma adjustments are factually supportable, give appropriate effect to the expected impact of the events that are directly attributable to the transactions and reflect those items expected to have a continuing impact on the Partnership.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership have been derived from the historical financial statements of the Partnership and Jupiter and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such historical financial statements and the related notes contained therein. The unaudited pro forma condensed

consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the Partnership had acquired Jupiter on the dates indicated or which will be obtained in the future.

EQT MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, LP

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.              Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon the historical consolidated financial statements of EQT Midstream Partners and the historical financial statements of Jupiter. The pro forma adjustments have been prepared as if the Jupiter acquisition and certain related transactions occurred on January 1, 2013 in the case of the unaudited pro forma statements of consolidated operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 in the case of the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contribution of Jupiter to the Partnership was recorded at EQT’s historical cost as these transactions are between entities under common control.

 

2.              Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions

 

The adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions and therefore the actual effects of these transactions will differ from the pro forma adjustments. A general description of these transactions and adjustments are provided as follows:

 

(a)

The elimination of the impact of federal and state income taxes of Jupiter as the Partnership is a non-taxable entity. At March 31, 2014, the required adjustment to the condensed consolidated balance sheet are: an $8.7 million adjustment to eliminate the income tax payable, a $10,000 adjustment to eliminate the unrecognized tax benefits and a $39.7 million adjustment to eliminate the net deferred income tax liabilities. Income tax expense of $9.1 million and $37.5 million are eliminated for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.

(b)

The gross proceeds of approximately $658 million from the issuance and sale of 8,750,000 common units at an assumed offering price of $75.15 per unit. The assumed offering price is the closing price of our units on April 29, 2014 of $75.64, less cash distribution for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 of $0.49 per unit which was approved by the general partner’s board of directors on April 22, 2014 and will be paid on May 15, 2014 to all limited partners of record on May 6, 2014. The actual common unit price, offering costs and underwriting discounts may be different than our assumptions. If the underwriters were to exercise their option to purchase additional common units in full, the additional gross proceeds to the Partnership would be approximately $99 million.

(c)

The payment of estimated underwriting discounts and commissions.

(d)

The payment of estimated offering expenses.

(e)

The borrowing of approximately $488 million under the Partnership’s revolving credit facility to fund a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition.

(f)

The interest expense on approximately $488 million in borrowings under the revolving credit facility as though the borrowing occurred on January 1, 2013. Interest is calculated at an estimated annual interest rate of 1.65%. A one-eighth percentage point change in the interest rate would change pro forma interest expense by approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and by approximately $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

(1)         The issuance of 594,393 common units to EQT at the assumed offering price of $75.15 per unit is approximately $45 million.

(2)         The issuance of 190,703 general partner units to EQT at the assumed offering price of $75.15 per unit is approximately $14 million to maintain the general partner’s 2% ownership interest.

(3)         Under common control accounting, the excess of consideration paid over the historical net book value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as a decrease to partners’ capital.

 

3.              Pro Forma Net Income per Limited Partner Unit

 

Pro forma net income per limited partner unit is determined by dividing the pro forma net income that would have been allocated, in accordance with the net income and loss allocation provisions of the partnership agreement, to the common and subordinated unitholders under the two-class method, after deducting the general partner’s interest of 2% in the pro forma net income in addition to giving effect to incentive distributions allocable to the general partner described below, by the number of common and subordinated units expected to be outstanding at the closing of the transactions described above in Note 2, assuming the common units issued in connection with those transactions were outstanding since January 1, 2013.

 

Securities that meet the definition of a participating security are required to be considered for inclusion in the computation of basic earnings per limited partner unit using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings per limited partner unit is calculated as if all of the earnings for the period were distributed under the terms of the partnership agreement, regardless of whether the general partner has discretion over the amount of distributions to be made in any particular period, whether those earnings would actually be distributed during a particular period from an economic or practical perspective, or whether the general partner has other legal or contractual limitations on its ability to pay distributions that would prevent it from distributing all of the earnings for a particular period.

 

Pursuant to the partnership agreement, to the extent that the quarterly distributions exceed certain targets, the general partner is entitled to receive certain incentive distributions that will result in more net income proportionately being allocated to the general partner than to the holders of common and subordinated units. The pro forma net income per limited partner unit calculations includes incentive distributions declared to the general partner in the amount $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $0.8 million paid to the general partner for the year ended December 31, 2013.
