As previously disclosed on September 19, 2022, the Partnership, completed the sale of Bison Midstream, LLC (“Bison Midstream”) (the “Bison Sale”) to a subsidiary of Steel Reef Infrastructure Corp. (“Steel Reef”) for cash consideration of $36.7 million, which was net of cash disposed of and includes certain working capital adjustments, pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated September 19, 2022, by and between SMP Holdings and Steel Reef US Corp.

The Partnership is the operator of the Double E Pipeline joint venture and owns a 70% interest.
Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of the Partnership are presented to illustrate the effect to the Partnership’s historical financial position and operating results of (i) the acquisition of Outrigger DJ, (ii) the acquisition of Sterling DJ, (iii) the Permian Sale, (iv) the Bison Sale (v) the financing activities completed by the Partnership to close the DJ Acquisitions and (vi) the assumption of the Partnership’s take-or-pay firm capacity on the Double E Pipeline by a subsidiary of Matador.
The Bison Sale, the Permian Sale, and each of the DJ Acquisitions constituted significant transactions for purposes of Item 2.01 of Form 8-K. As a result, the Partnership prepared the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Neither of the divestitures qualified as a discontinued operation because neither divestiture represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on SMLP’s operations or financial results.
Certain historical amounts of Outrigger DJ and Sterling DJ have been reclassified to conform to the Partnership’s financial statement presentation. The accompanying Summit Midstream Partners, LP unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 has been prepared to give effect to (i) known subsequent event purchase price settlements related to the Bison Sale and (ii) the DJ Acquisitions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2022. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 have been prepared to give effect to the DJ Acquisitions, the Bison Sale, and the Permian Sale as if they had occurred on January 1, 2021.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and statements of operations included herein are for information purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the divestiture or acquisition taken place on the respective dates assumed. Actual results may differ significantly from those reflected in the unaudited condensed

combined pro forma financial statements for various reasons, including but not limited to, the anticipated realization of ongoing savings from operating efficiencies, or offsetting unknown or underestimated preacquisition liabilities, and the differences between the assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and actual results.
The pro forma adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet and the statements of operations included herein include the use of estimates and assumptions as described in the accompanying notes. The pro forma adjustments are based on information available to the Partnership at the time these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were prepared. The Partnership believes its current estimates provide a reasonable basis of presenting the significant effects of the transaction. However, the estimates and assumptions are subject to change as additional information becomes available. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements only include adjustments related to the DJ Acquisitions, the Bison Sale, and the Permian Sale.
This pro forma information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of SMLP and should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Partnership’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on November 7, 2022 and February 28, 2022, respectively.

SUMMIT MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”) were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and are based on the historical financial information of SMLP, Outrigger DJ, and Sterling DJ. Presented in the Pro Forma Financial Statements are the acquisition impacts of the DJ Acquisitions, including the related impact of financing the DJ Acquisitions, and the disposition impacts of the Permian Sale and the Bison Sale. Neither of the divestitures qualified as a discontinued operation because neither divestiture represented a strategic shift that will have a major effect on SMLP’s operations or financial results.
Certain transaction accounting adjustments have been made in order to show the effects of the DJ Acquisitions in the Pro Forma Financial Statements. These adjustments are preliminary and involve management estimates about fair value, liabilities assumed, and the useful lives of the assets acquired, among others.
The accounting adjustments are described in the accompanying notes and are based on available information and certain assumptions that SMLP believes are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from those reflected in these statements. The Pro Forma Financial Statements do not purport to represent what SMLP’s financial position or results of operations would have been if the DJ Acquisitions, the Permian Sale, and the Bison Sale had occurred on the dates described in the Pro Forma Financial Statements, and they may not be indicative of SMLP’s future financial position or results of operations. Certain information normally included in financial statements and the accompanying notes has been condensed or omitted. The Pro Forma Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related notes of Outrigger DJ and Sterling DJ for the periods presented.
The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 gives effect to the acquisition of Sterling DJ and Outrigger DJ as if they had been completed on September 30, 2022 and also includes known subsequent event purchase price settlements related to the Bison Sale. The pro forma condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 gives effect to the DJ Acquisitions, the Permian Sale, and the Bison Sale as if they had been completed on January 1, 2021. The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 gives effect to the DJ Acquisitions, the Permian Sale, and the Bison Sale as if they had been completed on January 1, 2021.
The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of September 30, 2022 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 have been compiled in a manner consistent with the accounting policies adopted by SMLP. Certain reclassifications and adjustments have also been made to the historical financial information of Outrigger DJ and Sterling DJ presented herein to conform to SMLP’s historical presentation.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements reflect the following adjustments:
Balance Sheet
“Historical” - represents the historical unaudited condensed combined balance sheets of SMLP, Outrigger DJ and Sterling DJ as of September 30, 2022.
Outrigger DJ
(a) Reflects adjustments for cash consideration paid of $167.6 million and preliminary fair value measurements of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Partnership for the acquisition of Outrigger DJ.
The acquisition of Outrigger DJ was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The preliminary purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values. 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. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates, as a result, the provisional measurements are preliminary and subject to change during the measurement period and such changes could be material.
The Partnership estimates the fair value of Outrigger DJ to be approximately $167.6 million, which it considers to be representative of the price paid by a typical market participant. This measurement resulted in no goodwill or bargain purchase price being recognized. The transaction costs are estimated to be $3.9 million and were expensed as incurred.

Intangible assets21,447

Net assets acquired$167,631 

Sterling DJ
(b) Reflects adjustments for cash consideration paid of $138.4 million and preliminary fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by the Partnership for the Sterling DJ acquisition, including $9.9 million of lease assets, recognized within other non-current assets, and the corresponding liability, recognized within other current and non-current liabilities, as a result of applying SMLP’s accounting policies to the private company financial statements of Sterling DJ.
The acquisition of Sterling DJ was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The preliminary purchase price was allocated to the net assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values. 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. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates, as a result, the provisional measurements are preliminary and subject to change during the measurement period and such changes could be material.
The Partnership estimates the fair value of Sterling DJ to be approximately $138.4 million, which it considers to be representative of the price paid by a typical market participant. This measurement resulted in no goodwill or bargain purchase price being recognized. The transaction costs are estimated to be $2.5 million and were expensed as incurred. The Partnership continues to assess the acquired liabilities of Sterling DJ and ongoing assessments primarily relate to outstanding litigation and other legal compliance matters that existed prior to December 1, 2022.
The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the Sterling DJ acquisition and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
(in thousands)
Cash consideration paid for Sterling DJ, including adjustments for working capital$138,414 
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Accounts receivable14,150 
Other current assets (includes $0.5 million of cash acquired)6,854 
Property, plant and equipment, net102,281 
Intangible assets38,679 
Other non-current assets9,865 
Trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other(20,068)
Other non-current liabilities$(13,347)
Net assets acquired$138,414 

(c) The DJ Acquisitions were financed through a combination of borrowings under SMLP’s asset-based lending credit facility governed by the ABL Agreement (the “ABL Facility”) and the issuance of $85.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2026 (the “Additional 2026 Secured Notes”). The DJ Acquisitions represent a reinvestment of approximately $115.0 million of the net proceeds received from the previously announced Permian Sale and Bison Sale.
(d) Adjustment related to an updated net working capital calculation in connection with the Bison Sale.
7


(e) Reflects the elimination of historical equity in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting.
Income Statement
“Historical” - represents the historical consolidated statements of operations SMLP, Outrigger DJ, and Sterling DJ for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and for the year ended December 31, 2021.
(f) Adjustments are to eliminate revenues and costs from the Partnership’s consolidated results of operations resulting from the Bison Sale and the Permian Sale.
(g) Interest expense is adjusted to include the impact of approximate reductions of $75.0 million and $40.0 million to SMLP’s ABL Facility with proceeds received from the Permian Sale and Bison Sale, respectively, as well as the impact of the incremental borrowings for the DJ Acquisitions under the ABL Facility and issuance of $85.0 million of additional 2026 Secured Notes.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the pro forma adjustment includes a reduction of interest expense of $1.6 million and $1.4 million related to the Permian Sale and Bison Sale, respectively and an increase of $15.4 million related to the DJ Acquisitions, which reflect rates on the ABL Facility applicable to the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
