Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this report to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” or like terms, refer to Hess Midstream LP and its subsidiaries.

The consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss); therefore, net income (loss) is equal to comprehensive income (loss). The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain notes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these interim consolidated financial statements. These financial statements, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

We consolidate the activities of Hess Midstream Operations LP (“the Partnership”), as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under U.S. GAAP. We have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, as defined in the accounting standards, since we have the power, through our ownership, to direct those activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Partnership. This conclusion was based on a qualitative analysis that considered the Partnership’s governance structure and the delegation of control provisions, which provide us the ability to control the operations of the Partnership. All financial statement activities associated with the VIE are captured within gathering, processing and storage, and terminaling and export segments (see Note 11, Segments). We currently do not have any independent assets or operations other than our interest in the Partnership. Our noncontrolling interest represents the approximate 58.6% interest in the Partnership retained by Hess Corporation (“Hess”) and GIP II Blue Holding, L.P. (“GIP” and together with Hess, the “Sponsors”) at June 30, 2024 (69.8% at December 31, 2023). See Note 2, Equity Transactions for a description of changes in noncontrolling interest related to the equity transactions.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU adds required disclosures of significant expenses for each reportable segment, as well as certain other disclosures to help users of financial statements understand how the chief operating decision maker evaluates segment expenses and operating results. The ASU does not change how an entity identifies its operating segments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this ASU on April 1, 2024, and applied the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in our consolidated financial statements (see Note 11, Segments).

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires, among other disclosures, greater disaggregation of information, the use of certain categories in the rate reconciliation, and the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We continue to assess the impact of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
