EQUITY METHOD INTERESTS EQUITY METHOD INTERESTS
The Kinetik Class A Common Stock held by the Company is treated as an interest in equity securities measured at fair value. The Company elected the fair value option for measuring its equity method interest in Kinetik based on practical expedience, variances in reporting timelines, and cost-benefit considerations. The fair value of the Company’s interest in Kinetik is determined using observable share prices on a major exchange, a Level 1 fair value measurement. Fair value adjustments and dividends received are recorded as a component of “Other, net” under “Revenues and other” in the Company’s statement of consolidated operations.
The initial interest in Kinetik was measured at fair value based on the Company’s ownership of approximately 12.9 million shares of Kinetik Class A Common stock as of February 22, 2022. In March 2022, the Company sold four million of its shares of Kinetik Class A Common Stock for a loss, including underwriters fees, of $25 million, which was recorded as a component of “Gain on divestitures, net” under “Revenues and other” in the Company’s statement of consolidated operations. Refer to Note 2–Acquisitions and Divestitures for further detail.
During the second quarter of 2022, Kinetik issued a two-for-one split of its Common Stock. Also, during 2022, the Company received approximately 1.1 million shares of Kinetik’s Class A Common Stock as paid-in-kind dividends. Finally, in 2022, the Company recorded fair value adjustments on its ownership in Kinetik totaling a gain of approximately $32 million. The Company’s ownership of 18.9 million shares represented approximately 13 percent of Kinetik’s outstanding Class A Common Stock as of December 31, 2022.
