Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Statements (Unaudited)

 

Note 1 — Financial Statement Presentation

 

Organization and Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of ARD Operating, LLC (ARDO) and Alta Marcellus Development, LLC (AMD) for which the Company owns 100% of each, as well as Alta Marcellus Midstream, LLC (AMM), and Alta Energy Marketing, LLC (AEM), all of which are 100% owned by AMD. During interim periods, the Company follows the same accounting policies disclosed in its audited Annual Financial Statements.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes therein for the year ended June 30, 2020. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein contain all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2020 and its condensed consolidated statements of income, condensed consolidated statements of changes in member’s equity, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods.

 

Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB Issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on the balance sheet. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 also modify the definition of a lease and outline the requirements for recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing arrangements by both lessees and lessors. This ASU is to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. In May 2020, the FASB elected to defer the effective date for private companies to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments: Credit Losses, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology used for certain financial instruments with a methodology that reflects current expected credit losses (CECL). The amendments in this Update are effective for private companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Natural Gas Properties

 

The Company follows the full-cost method of accounting for its oil and natural gas properties which requires us to perform a “ceiling test” calculation to test our oil and natural gas properties for impairment. If the net capitalized cost of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties subject to the amortization exceeds the ceiling limitation, the excess is charged to expense. The ceiling limitation is equal to the sum of the present value discounted at 10% of estimated future net cash flows from proved reserves, the cost of properties not being amortized, and the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in the costs being amortized. The present value of estimated future net revenue is computed by applying the average first day of the month oil and gas price for the preceding 12-month period to estimated future production of proved oil and gas reserves as of period-end, less estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves, assuming the continuation of existing economic conditions.

 

As of December 31, 2020, the carrying value of the Company’s oil and gas properties subject to the test exceeded the calculated value of the ceiling limitation. As a result, the Company determined an other-than-temporary impairment due to a substantial decline in commodity prices, particularly natural gas, and recorded an impairment expense of approximately $631.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2021.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Statements (Unaudited) 

 

Natural Gas Sales

 

The Company applies the sales method of accounting for natural gas revenue. Under the sales method, revenues are recognized based on the actual volume of natural gas sold to purchasers. The Company and other joint owners may sell more or less than their entitled share of production. Over and under deliveries are recorded when future estimated reserves are not adequate to cover the imbalance. As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, there is no asset or liability recorded for imbalances.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company elected to be taxed as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and therefore is not subject to federal income taxes. The members are liable for the federal income taxes attributable to their allocable share of the Company’s taxable income. The Company had no state income tax expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to its operations in the states of Texas and Pennsylvania.

 

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next 12 months. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest related to any unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses, and the Company did not incur any such interest from unrecognized tax benefits or penalties during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

 

Note 2 — Long-Term Debt

 

Long-term debt consisted of the following:

 

   March 31,

Less: deferred financing costs    (5,253)   (7,474)
LONG-TERM DEBT, net   $520,935   $604,155 

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

The Revolving Credit Facility provides a facility with a $1.25 billion commitment and a borrowing base of $800.0 million as of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020. As of March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the amount borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility was $435.0 million and $509.4 million, the value of letters of credit issued under the Revolving Credit Facility was $23.6 million and $25.9 million at March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. The amount remaining available for borrowing was $341.4 million and $264.8 million at March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.

 

The weighted-average effective interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility was 3.17% and 4.17% as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

As of March 31, 2021, AMD was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

Senior Secured Second Lien Notes

 

The amount outstanding on the Senior Secured Second Lien Notes was $91.2 million and $102.3 million on March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021, AMD was in compliance with all of its financial covenants under the Senior Secured Second Lien Notes Indenture.

 

Note 3 — Risk Management Activities

 

The Company has entered into various derivative contracts to manage its exposure to natural gas price fluctuations on a portion of its anticipated future production volumes for the years 2021 through 2023. These derivatives include natural gas price swaps and basis differential swaps. The Company’s commodity derivative instruments generally serve as effective economic hedges of commodity risk exposure; however, the Company has elected not to account for the derivatives as cash flow hedges. As such, the Company recognizes all changes in fair value of its commodities derivatives in net gain (loss) on price risk management activities in revenues in its consolidated statements of income. The resulting cash flows are reported as cash flows from operating activities.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Statements (Unaudited)

 

The Company has also entered into various derivative contracts to hedge the impact of market fluctuations in LIBOR, which is the floating rate that applies to the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has $225 million LIBOR swaps outstanding, which represents a portion of the expected Revolving Credit Facility balance through its remaining term. The Company believes the interest rate derivative instruments generally serve as effective economic hedges of interest rate risk exposure; however, the Company has elected not to account for the derivatives as cash flow hedges. As such, the Company recognizes all changes in fair value of its interest rate derivatives in net gain (loss) on interest rate derivatives on its consolidated statements of income.

Note 4 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers

 

Disaggregation of Revenue

 

The Company has identified the major revenue streams within the scope of ASC 606: Natural gas sales, Marketing and Midstream. A detailed summary for each disaggregated category of revenue is below:

 

   Nine months ended March 31, 
REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS  2021   2020 
         
   (Amounts in Thousands) 
Natural gas   $446,651   $354,708 
Other operating           
Marketing    11,243    7,755 
Midstream    4,729    3,299 
Total other operating    15,972    11,054 
Total revenues from contracts with customers    462,623    365,762 
Net gain on commodity risk management activities    71,572    98,102 
Other revenues    80    158 
TOTAL REVENUES   $534,275   $464,022 

 

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

 

A significant number of the Company’s product sales have a contract term of one year or less. For those contracts, the Company has utilized the practical expedient allowed in ASC 606 that exempts it from disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the performance obligation is part of a contract that has an original expected duration of one year or less.

 

For the Company’s product sales that have a contract term greater than one year, the Company has also utilized the practical expedient waiving the requirement to disclose the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations if the variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation. Under these sales contracts, each unit of product generally represents a separate performance obligation; therefore, future volumes are wholly unsatisfied and disclosure of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations is not required. Currently, the Company’s product sales that have a contractual term greater than one year have no long-term fixed consideration.

 

Contract Balances

 

Under the Company’s sales contracts, it invoices its customers once its performance obligations have been satisfied, at which point payment is unconditional. Accordingly, the Company’s product sales contracts do not give rise to contract assets or liabilities. Accounts receivable attributable to the Company’s revenue contracts with customers was $89.5 million at March 31, 2021 and $37.8 million at June 30, 2020.

 

Prior-Period Performance Obligations

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2020, revenue recognized in the reporting period related to performance obligations satisfied in prior reporting periods was not material.

 

Note 5 — Related Party Transactions
