DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
6 Months Ended
Jun. 30, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation Basis of PresentationThe 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.
Principles of 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 2—Business Combination to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for additional discussion.
The Company completed a two-for-one Stock Split on June 8, 2022. All corresponding per-share and share amounts for periods prior to June 8, 2022 have been retroactively restated in this Form 10-Q to reflect the two-for-one Stock Split, except for the number of Common Units and shares of Class C Common Stock described above in relation to the Transaction, which are presented at pre-Stock-Split amounts. This presentation election is consistent with our previous public filings and the terms of the Contribution Agreement.
Use of Estimates
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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of derivatives, tangible and intangible assets, share-based compensation, contingent liabilities, mandatorily redeemable Preferred Units (as defined below) and noncontrolling interests.
Variable Interest Entity
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
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” above.
The Common Units are redeemable at the option of unit holders and accounted for in 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 in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
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. In July 2022, the Company redeemed all outstanding redeemable noncontrolling interest Preferred Units. See Note 18—Subsequent Events in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
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.
Equity Method Interests Equity Method InvestmentsThe 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.Unamortized basis differences will be amortized into equity income over the useful lives of the underlying pipeline assets.
Inventory InventoryOther current assets include condensate, residue gas and NGLs inventories 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.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 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 any excess of the property’s net book value over its estimated fair value.
Transactions with Affiliates Transactions with AffiliatesThe accounts receivable from or payable to affiliates 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 controlled the Company prior to the Transaction.
Net Income per Share
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. No net income per share was computed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, as no Class A Common Stock was outstanding with respect to BCP as the accounting acquirer as of June 30, 2021.
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 and Recent Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted
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.
Effective January 1, 2022, the Company adopted 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 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. Interest rate applied to the Company’s new debt resulting from the comprehensive refinance is based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by treasury securities. Refer to Note 6—Debt and Financing Costs in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for discussion of SOFR applicable to the Company’s debt structures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement Not Yet Adopted
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). The amendments in ASU 2022-03 clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments also require the following disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions: (1) The fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet; (2) The nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s); (3) The circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s). This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2022-03 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.
Business Combination The Transaction was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, which, among other things, requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair value. The Company also adopted ASU 2021-08, effective as of January 1, 2022, to record contract liabilities at their carrying value as of the acquisition date. Although the Company was the legal acquirer, BCP was determined to be the accounting acquirer and legal acquiree. As a result, BCP and its subsidiaries’ net assets were carried at historical value, acquired net assets were measured at fair value except contract liabilities being recorded at carrying value at the acquisition date, and results of operations of ALTM and its subsidiaries were included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the Closing Date going forward.The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on an assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition using inputs that are not observable in the market and thus level 3 inputs. The fair value of the processing plant, gathering system and related facilities and equipment are based on market and cost approaches. The goodwill of $4.1 million relates to operational synergies. The value of the Preferred Units and assumed contingent liability was determined through a probability-weighted analysis of the expected future cash flows and other applicable valuation techniques. See additional details for Preferred Units in Note 11—Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units and contingent liabilities in Note 8—Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q. Certain data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is not yet available, including, but not limited to, valuation of the underlying assets of the equity method investments and liabilities assumed. However, the Company is continuing its review of these matters during the measurement period, and if new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date identifies adjustments to the liabilities initially recognized, as well as any additional liabilities that existed at the acquisition date, the acquisition accounting will be revised to reflect the resulting adjustments to the provisional amounts initially recognized. The Company will finalize the purchase price allocation during the 12-month period following the acquisition date.
Revenue Recognition Current and noncurrent contract liabilities are included in “Other Current Liabilities” and “Contract Liabilities,” respectively, of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Current and noncurrent contract cost assets are included in “Prepaid and Other Current Assets” and “Deferred Charges and Other Assets,” respectively, of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company amortizes these assets as cost of sales on a straight-line basis over the life of the associated long-term customer contract.
Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost or fair market value at the date of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. The cost basis of constructed assets includes materials, labor, and other direct costs. Major improvements or betterment are capitalized, while repairs that do not improve the life of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.The cost of property classified as “Construction in progress” is excluded from capitalized costs being depreciated.
Goodwill Goodwill is tested at least annually as of December 31 of each year, or more frequently as events occur or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.
Debt and Financing Cost The aggregate fees, expenses, and original issue discount paid to obtain the notes totaled $21.6 million and were capitalized as debt issuance cost and included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a direct deduction to the NotesIn obtaining the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Partnership incurred fees and expenses totaling $7.8 million, which was capitalized and included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Prepaid and other current assets” and “Deferred charges and other assets.the Partnership incurred fee and expenses totaled $7.6 million, which was capitalized as debt issuance cost and included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as direct deduction to the Term Loan Credit FacilityAs of June 30, 2022, the unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the new and existing revolving credit facilities were included in the “Deferred charges and other assets” of the Condensed Consolidated Balance SheetsAs of December 31, 2021, the current and non-current portion of the unamortized debt issuance costs were included in the “Other non-current assets” and “Deferred charges and other assets” of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amortization of the debt issuance costs was charged to interest expense for the periods presented.
Commitments and Contingencies Pursuant to ASC 805, this earn-out consideration was a pre-existing contingency and accounted for as an assumed liability to the acquirer on acquisition dateThe Company determined the earn-out consideration to be classified as equity based on the settlement provision.
Equity and Warrants Therefore, the Common Unit is accounted for as redeemable noncontrolling interest and classified as temporary equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.All corresponding per-share and share amounts for periods prior to June 8, 2022 have been retroactively restated in this Form 10-Q to reflect the Stock Split.The remaining 375,000 Preferred Units assumed on the Closing Date do not contain a mandatory redemption feature, and are accounted for on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a redeemable noncontrolling interest classified as temporary equity in accordance with the terms of the Preferred Units, including the redemption rights with respect thereto. 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.
Share-Based Compensation The Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Replacement Awards were valued based on the Company’s publicly quoted stock price on the measurement date, which was the Closing Date of the Transaction. With respect to these shares, the Company recorded compensation expenses of $12.2 million and $18.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, based on a straight line amortization of the associated awards’ fair value over the respective vesting life of the shares.
Income Tax The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740—Income Taxes, which prescribes a minimum recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, accrued receivables, accounts receivable, accounts receivable from affiliates, dividends and distributions payable, interest rate and commodity swap derivatives, and Company’s private and public warrants and an embedded derivative liability related to the issuance of Preferred Units.
Topic 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP, clarifies the definition of fair value within that framework, and requires disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Topic 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 provides a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date and requires consideration of the counterparty’s creditworthiness when valuing certain assets.
Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 inputs). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820 are described below:
Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. An active market is defined as a market where transactions for the financial instrument occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2 inputs: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability through correlation with market data at the measurement date and for the duration of the instrument’s anticipated life.
Level 3 inputs: Prices or valuations that require unobservable inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. Valuation under Level 3 generally involves a significant degree of judgment from management.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or inventory parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instrument’s complexity.
