Management Commentary
From an operational perspective, we connected 38 wells to the system, have six rigs currently operating behind our footprint and made final investment decision on a
Additionally, as a brief update to our recently announced Tall Oak acquisition, we continue to expect to close the transaction during the fourth quarter of 2024. Since announcement, the Tall Oak management team executed a new contract for approximately 20 MMcf/d of existing in-basin production that is expected to begin deliveries to Tall Oak in the second half of 2025 and continue to see the active rig drilling wells that are expected to come online as soon as the end of this year. We filed the definitive proxy on
Third Quarter 2024 Business Highlights
SMC's average daily natural gas throughput for its wholly owned operated systems decreased 6.8% to 667 MMcf/d, and liquids volumes decreased 6.7% to 70 Mbbl/d, relative to the second quarter of 2024. Double E Pipeline gross volumes transported increased from 549 MMcf/d to 661 MMcf/d, a 20.4% increase quarter-over-quarter and generated
Natural gas price-driven segments :
- Natural gas price-driven segments had combined quarterly segment adjusted EBITDA of
$20.1 million , representing a 1.1% increase relative to the second quarter and combined capital expenditures of$1.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. - Piceance segment adjusted EBITDA totaled
$12.8 million , consistent from the second quarter of 2024. Volume throughput decreased 1.7% from the second quarter primarily due to natural production declines and no new wells connected to the system during the quarter. - Barnett segment adjusted EBITDA totaled
$7.3 million , an increase of$1.9 million relative to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to a 26.2% increase in volumes from a customer continuing to increase flow of curtailed volumes and 9 new wells connected to the system from our anchor customer during the quarter. We estimate there is still approximately 20 MMcf/d of shut-in production behind the system. There is currently one rig running and 14 DUCs behind the system.
Oil price-driven segments :
- Oil price-driven segments generated
$33.3 million of combined segment adjusted EBITDA, representing a 9.1% increase relative to the second quarter, and had combined capital expenditures of$8.7 million . - Permian segment adjusted EBITDA totaled
$8.5 million , an increase of$0.8 million from the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to 20% increase in volumes shipped on the Double E Pipeline leading to an increase in proportionate adjusted EBITDA from ourDouble E joint venture. - Rockies segment adjusted EBITDA totaled
$24.9 million , an increase of 8.7% relative to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to increased product margin in theDJ Basin , partially offset by a 6.7% decrease in liquids volume throughput. Operational downtime continued to impact volume throughput in theDJ Basin , however, repairs were completed during the quarter, and all systems have now returned to normal operational capacity. There were 29 new wells connected during the quarter, all in theDJ Basin . There are currently five rigs running and approximately 90 DUCs behind the systems.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report financial results in accordance with
Adjusted EBITDA
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss, plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, our proportional adjusted EBITDA for equity method investees, adjustments related to MVC shortfall payments, adjustments related to capital reimbursement activity, unit-based and noncash compensation, impairments, items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations and other noncash expenses or losses, income tax benefit, income (loss) from equity method investees and other noncash income or gains. Because adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other entities in our industry, our definition of this non-GAAP financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other entities, thereby diminishing its utility.
Management uses adjusted EBITDA in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating our financial performance. Furthermore, management believes that adjusted EBITDA may provide external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others, with additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results of prior periods as they are expected to be reflective of our core ongoing business.
Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure to assess:
- the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to make future potential cash dividends and support our indebtedness;
- the financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
- our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of other entities in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing or capital structure;
- the attractiveness of capital projects and acquisitions and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities; and
- the financial performance of our assets without regard to (i) income or loss from equity method investees, (ii) the impact of the timing of MVC shortfall payments under our gathering agreements or (iii) the timing of impairments or other income or expense items that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example:
- certain items excluded from adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing an entity's financial performance, such as an entity's cost of capital and tax structure;
- adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
- adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
- although depreciation and amortization are noncash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
We compensate for the limitations of adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP financial measures, understanding the differences between the financial measures and incorporating these data points into our decision-making process.
Distributable Cash Flow
We define Distributable Cash Flow as adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, less cash interest paid, cash paid for taxes, net interest expense accrued and paid on the senior notes, and maintenance capital expenditures.
Free Cash Flow
We define free cash flow as distributable cash flow attributable to common and preferred shareholders less growth capital expenditures, less investments in equity method investees, less dividends to common and preferred shareholders. Free cash flow excludes proceeds from asset sales and cash consideration paid for acquisitions.
We do not provide the GAAP financial measures of net income or loss or net cash provided by operating activities on a forward-looking basis because we are unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, certain components thereof including, but not limited to, (i) income or loss from equity method investees and (ii) asset impairments. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond our control. As such, any associated estimate and its impact on our GAAP performance and cash flow measures could vary materially based on a variety of acceptable management assumptions.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes certain statements concerning expectations for the future that are forward-looking within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
