The Transaction
On February 22, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Kinetik Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Altus Midstream Company), consummated the previously announced business combination transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2021 (the “Contribution Agreement”), by and among the Company, Altus Midstream LP (now known as Kinetik Holdings LP), a Delaware limited partnership and subsidiary of Altus Midstream Company (the “Partnership”), New BCP Raptor Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Contributor”), and BCP Raptor Holdco, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“BCP”). The transactions are referred to herein as the “Transaction.”
Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, in connection with the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”), (i) Contributor contributed all of the equity interests of BCP and BCP Raptor Holdco GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of BCP (“BCP GP” and, together with BCP, the “Contributed Entities”), to the Partnership; and (ii) in exchange for such contribution, the Partnership issued 50,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Common Units”) and the Company issued 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class C Common Stock”), to Contributor.
The Company’s stockholders immediately prior to the Closing continued to hold their shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock,” and together with the Company’s Class C Common Stock, “Common Stock”). As a result of the Transaction, immediately following the Closing (i) Contributor held approximately 75% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, (ii) Apache Midstream LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Apache Midstream”), held approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, and (iii) the Company’s remaining stockholders held approximately 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. Following the Closing, there were approximately 66.2 million total shares of Common Stock outstanding.
In connection with the Closing, the Company changed its name from “Altus Midstream Company” (ALTM) to “Kinetik Holdings Inc.” Unless the context otherwise requires, “ALTM” refers to the registrant prior to the Closing and “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to Kinetik Holdings Inc., the registrant and its subsidiaries following the Closing.
Organization
BCP was formed on April 25, 2017 as a Delaware limited partnership to acquire and develop midstream oil and gas assets. BCP’s primary operating subsidiaries are EagleClaw and CR Permian Holdings, LLC (“CR Permian”). Both subsidiaries were formed to design, engineer, install, own and operate facilities and provide services for produced natural gas gathering, compression, processing, treating and dehydration, and condensate separation, stabilization, and storage, crude oil gathering and storage, water gathering and disposal assets.
ALTM was originally incorporated on December 12, 2016 in Delaware under the name Kayne Anderson Acquisition Corp. (“KAAC”) for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. KAAC completed its initial public offering in the second quarter
of 2017. On August 3, 2018, Altus Midstream LP was formed in Delaware as a limited partnership and wholly-owned subsidiary of KAAC and entered into a contribution agreement with certain affiliates of Apache Corporation (“Apache” and such affiliates the “Altus Midstream Entities”), formed by Apache between May 2016 and January 2017, for the purpose of acquiring, developing, and operating midstream oil and gas assets in the Alpine High resource play and surrounding areas (“Alpine High”). On November 9, 2018, KAAC acquired all equity interests of the Altus Midstream Entities and changed its name to Altus Midstream Company.
On February 22, 2022, upon the Closing, legacy BCP and its subsidiaries became wholly-owned subsidiaries of the legacy Altus Midstream Company. The Transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger pursuant to ASC 805 Business Combination (“ASC 805”), refer to Note 2—Business Combination in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for an additional discussion.
Nature of Operations
Through its consolidated subsidiaries, the Company provides comprehensive gathering, water disposal, transportation, compression, processing and treating services necessary to bring natural gas, NGLs and crude oil to market. Additionally, the Company owns equity interests in four separate Permian Basin egress pipeline entities that have access to various markets along the Texas Gulf Coast.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform such amounts to current year presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on net income. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Prior to the Closing, the Company’s financial statements that were filed with the SEC were derived from ALTM’s accounting records. As the Transaction was determined to be a reverse merger, BCP was considered as the accounting acquirer and ALTM was the legal acquirer. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein include (1) BCP’s net assets carried at historical value, (2) BCP’s historical results of operations prior to the Transaction, (3) the ALTM’s net assets carried at fair value as of the Closing Date and (4) the combined results of operations with the Company’s results presented within the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from February 22, 2022 going forward. Refer to Note 2Business Combination to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional discussion.
Variable Interest Entity
The Company uses a qualitative approach in assessing the consolidation requirement for variable interest entities. The approach focuses on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s economic performance and which enterprise has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the variable interest entity. In the event that the Company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the variable interest entity would be consolidated in our financial statements. The Company has determined that it has significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the four pipeline entities in which it is invested, but does not exercise control over them; and hence, it accounts for these investments using the equity method. Refer to Note 9—Equity Method Investments in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest — Common Units Limited Partners
Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, in connection with the Closing, (i) Contributor contributed all of the equity interests of the Contributed Entities to the Partnership; and (ii) in exchange for such contribution, the Partnership issued 50,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership and the Company issued 50,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to Contributor. Please refer to the Transaction discussed above.
The Common Units are redeemable at the option of unit holders and accounted for on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a redeemable noncontrolling interest classified as temporary equity. The Company records the redeemable noncontrolling interest at the higher of (i) its initial value plus accumulated earnings/losses associated with the noncontrolling interest or (ii) the maximum redemption value as of the balance sheet date. The redemption value was
determined based on a 5-day volume weighted average closing price of the Class A Common Stock. See discussion and additional details in Note 10—Equity and Warrants.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest — Preferred Unit Limited Partners
The Partnership issued Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (“Preferred Units”) on June 12, 2019. As the Transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger, the Company assumed certain Preferred Units that were issued and outstanding were assumed at Closing for accounting purposes. The Preferred Units are exchangeable for shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock at the option of the Preferred Unit holders upon the occurrence of specified events, unless otherwise redeemed by the Company.
The Preferred Units are accounted for on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a redeemable noncontrolling interest classified as temporary equity based on the terms of the Preferred Units. Certain redemption features embedded within the terms of the Preferred Units require bifurcation and measurement at fair value and are accounted for on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a long-term liability embedded derivative. See discussion and additional detail in Note 11—Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units.
Equity Method Investments
The Company follows the equity method of accounting when it does not exercise control over its equity interests, but can exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the entity. Under this method, the equity investments are carried originally at acquisition cost, increased by the Company’s proportionate share of the equity interest’s net income and contributions made, and decreased by the Company’s proportionate share of the equity interest’s net losses and distributions received. Please refer to Note 9—Equity Method Investments, for further details of the Company’s equity method investments. Equity method investments acquired in the Transaction were recorded at fair value upon Closing. See discussion and additional detail in Note 2—Business Combination for purchase price allocation of the Transaction.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions used in preparation of its condensed financial statements, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of derivatives, the valuation of tangible and intangible assets, the valuation of share-based compensation, the valuation of contingent liabilities, the valuation of mandatorily redeemable Preferred Units, and the valuation of noncontrolling interests.
Inventory
Other current assets include inventory that consists of condensate, and NGLs that are valued at the lower of cost or market. At the end of each reporting period, the Partnership assesses the carrying value of inventory and makes any adjustments necessary to reduce the carrying value to the applicable net realizable value. Inventory was valued at $4.8 million and $2.1 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment annually or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the fair value of the assets have decreased below their carrying value. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company bases their evaluation on impairment indicators such as the nature of the assets, the future economic benefit of the assets, any historical or future profitability measurements and other external market conditions or factors that may be present.
The Company’s management assesses whether there has been an impairment trigger, and if a trigger is identified, then the Company would perform an undiscounted cash flow test at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are independent of cash flows from other assets. If the sum of the undiscounted future net cash flows is less than the net book value of the property, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess, if any, of the property’s net book value over its estimated fair value. The Company did not recognize impairment losses for long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
Transactions with Affiliates
The accounts receivable from or payable to affiliate represent the net result of the Company’s monthly revenue, capital and operating expenditures, and other miscellaneous transactions to be settled with Apache and its subsidiaries, who held equity shares that represented approximately 13.6% of the Company’s voting power as of April 22, 2022. Accounts receivable from affiliate was $24.7 million as of March 31, 2022. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenue from affiliate was $15.6 million. Accrued expense due to affiliate was $4.2 million as of March 31, 2022 and operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were immaterial.
Net Income Per Share
Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Class A common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding during the period. Class C Common Stock is excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding for the calculation of basic net income per share, as holders of Class C Common Stock are not entitled to any dividends or liquidating distributions.
The Company uses the “if-converted method” to determine the potential dilutive effect of (i) an assumed exchange of outstanding Common Units (and the cancellation of a corresponding number of shares of outstanding Class C Common Stock) for shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) an assumed exercise of the outstanding public and private warrants for shares of Class A Common Stock and (iii) an assumed exchange of the outstanding Preferred Units for shares of Class A Common Stock. The dilutive effect of any earn-out consideration payable in shares is only included in periods for which the underlying conditions for the issuance are met.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”), which requires contract assets and contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenue) acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Generally, this new guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. Historically, such amounts were recognized by the acquirer at fair value. With adoption of ASU 2021-08, the Company assumed contract liabilities at carrying value of $9.1 million upon Closing.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 was issued to ease the potential accounting burden expected when global capital markets move away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the benchmark interest rate banks use to make short-term loans to each other. The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationship, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2020-04 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-01, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method (“ASU 2022-01”). Current GAAP permits only prepayable financial assets and one or more beneficial interests secured by a portfolio of prepayable financial instruments to be included in a last-of-layer closed portfolio. The amendments in ASU 2022-01 allow nonprepayable financial assets also to be included in a closed portfolio hedged using the portfolio layer method. That expanded scope permits an entity to apply the same portfolio hedging method to both prepayable and nonprepayable financial assets, thereby allowing consistent accounting for similar hedges. The amendments in ASU 2022-01 also clarify the accounting for and promote consistency in the reporting of hedge basis adjustments applicable to both a single hedged layer and multiple hedged layers as follows: (1) an entity is required to maintain basis adjustments in an existing hedge on a closed portfolio basis (that is, not allocated to individual assets), (2) an entity is required to immediately recognize and present the basis adjustment associated with the amount of the designated layer that was breached in interest income. In addition, an entity is required to disclose that amount and the circumstances that led to the breach, (3) an entity is required to disclose the total amount of the basis adjustments in existing hedges as a reconciling amount if other areas of GAAP require the disaggregated disclosure of the amortized cost basis of assets included in the closed portfolio, and (4) an entity is prohibited from considering basis adjustments in an existing hedge when determining credit losses. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted on any date on or after the issuance of ASU 2022-01 for any entity that has adopted the amendments in
ASU 2017-02 for the corresponding period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2022-01 will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
