NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION

Organization. Summit Midstream Partners, LP (including its subsidiaries, collectively “SMLP” or the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed in May 2012 and began operations in October 2012. SMLP is a value-oriented limited partnership focused on developing, owning and operating midstream energy infrastructure assets that are strategically located in unconventional resource basins, primarily shale formations, in the continental United States. The Partnership’s business activities are primarily conducted through various operating subsidiaries, each of which is owned or controlled by its wholly owned subsidiary holding company, Summit Holdings, a Delaware limited liability company.

Business Operations. The Partnership provides natural gas gathering, compression, treating and processing services as well as crude oil and produced water gathering services pursuant to primarily long-term, fee-based agreements with its customers. In addition to these services, the Partnership also provides freshwater delivery services pursuant to short-term agreements with customers. The Partnership’s results are primarily driven by the volumes of natural gas that it gathers, compresses, treats and/or processes as well as by the volumes of crude oil and produced water that it gathers. As of June 30, 2024, other than the Partnership’s investment in Double E, all of its business activities are conducted through wholly owned operating subsidiaries.

Presentation and Consolidation. The Partnership prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP as established by the FASB and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC pertaining to interim financial information. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all normal and recurring material adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented herein. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Partnership makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, including fair value measurements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and the disclosure of commitments and contingencies. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from its estimates.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of SMLP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions among the consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation. Comprehensive income or loss is the same as net income or loss for all periods presented.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO THE PARTNERSHIP

There have been no changes to the Partnership’s significant accounting policies since December 31, 2023.

Accounting standards recently implemented. ASU No. 2020-06 Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815–40) (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The ASU is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative, which aims to reduce unnecessary complexity in GAAP. The ASU’s amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of ASU 2020-06 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

New accounting standards not yet implemented. ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 enhances disclosures on reportable segments and provides additional detailed information about significant segment expenses. The guidance in ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Partnership continues to assess the impact of the new guidance, but does not expect the provisions of ASU 2023-07 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

3. DIVESTITURES

Summit Utica Sale. On March 22, 2024, the Partnership completed the disposition of Summit Utica, LLC (“Summit Utica”) to a subsidiary of MPLX LP (“MPLX”) for a cash sale price of $625.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments (the “Utica Sale”). Summit Utica was the owner of (i) approximately 36% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in OGC, (ii) approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in OCC, together with OGC, Ohio Gathering and (iii) midstream assets located in the Utica Shale. Ohio Gathering was the owner of a natural gas gathering system and condensate stabilization facility located in Belmont and Monroe counties in the Utica Shale in southeastern Ohio.

During the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024, the Partnership recognized a total gain on the disposition of Summit Utica of $212.5 million based on total cash proceeds received of $625.0 million and net assets sold of $412.5 million. A portion of the cash proceeds was used to reduce amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility and pay the costs and expenses in connection with the Asset Sale Offer (as defined below) (see Note 8 - Debt, for additional information) and are subject to final working capital adjustments.

The $625.0 million sale price did not discretely list values for either OGC, OCC or the Partnership’s midstream assets located in the Utica Shale. Using fair value methods allowed by GAAP, the Partnership derived a preliminary fair value estimate for the disposed assets and then determined the appropriate gain recognition amount for each disposal to include in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The estimated fair values were determined utilizing a discounted cash flow technique based on estimated revenues, costs, capital expenditures and an appropriate discount rate. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the fair value measurement is deemed to use Level 3 inputs. These fair value estimates are preliminary, and subject to change and such changes could be material. Based on these preliminary fair values, the Partnership recognized a gain on the disposition of the Utica midstream business of $85.6 million, which is recorded within gain on sale of business in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, and a gain of $126.3 million related to the disposition of Ohio Gathering, which is recorded within gain on sale of Ohio Gathering in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Mountaineer Midstream System. On May 1, 2024, the Partnership completed the sale of its Mountaineer Midstream system, to Antero Midstream LLC for a cash sale price of $70.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments (the “Mountaineer Transaction”). Mountaineer Midstream was the owner of midstream assets located in the Marcellus Shale. Prior to closing the Mountaineer Transaction, the Partnership sold related compression assets located in the Marcellus Shale to a compression service provider for cash consideration of approximately $5 million in April 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Partnership recognized an impairment of $68 million in connection with the Mountaineer Transaction and the sale of compression assets based on their estimated fair value and net assets of approximately $143 million.

ABL Facility. On November 2, 2021, the Partnership, the Partnership’s subsidiary, Summit Holdings, and certain subsidiaries of Summit Holdings party thereto entered into a first-lien, senior secured credit facility, consisting of a $400.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”), subject to a borrowing base comprised of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable of Summit Holdings and its subsidiaries that guarantee the ABL Facility (collectively, the “ABL Facility Subsidiary Guarantors”) and a percentage of eligible above-ground fixed assets including eligible compression units, processing plants, compression stations and related equipment of Summit Holdings and the ABL Facility Subsidiary Guarantors. As of June 30, 2024, the most recent borrowing base determination of eligible assets totaled $632.1 million, an amount greater than the $400.0 million of aggregate lending commitments.

As of June 30, 2024, the ABL Facility will mature on May 1, 2026; provided that if the outstanding amount of the 2025 Senior Notes (or any permitted refinancing indebtedness in respect thereof that has a final maturity, scheduled amortization or any other scheduled repayment, mandatory prepayment, mandatory redemption or sinking fund obligation prior to the date that is 120 days after the Termination Date (as defined in the ABL Agreement)) on such date equals or exceeds $50.0 million, then the ABL Facility will mature on December 13, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the 2025 Senior Notes was $49.8 million.

As of June 30, 2024, the available borrowing capacity of the ABL Facility totaled $371.7 million after giving effect to the issuance of $4.3 million in outstanding but undrawn irrevocable standby letters of credit and $24.0 million of commitment reserves.

In connection with the closing of the Utica Sale, the ABL Facility was amended to, among other things, (i) permit the Utica Sale, (ii) amend the change of control provision and certain other provisions to permit certain structural changes in connection with a conversion to a C-corporation and (iii) amend the Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Agreement) covenant such that the Interest Coverage Ratio as of the last day of any fiscal quarter must be less than (a) for any fiscal quarter ending on or before December 31, 2024, (x) if no loans under the Credit Agreement are outstanding and unrestricted cash exceeds $200.0 million on such date, 1.50:1.00 and (y) if any loans under the Credit Agreement are outstanding or unrestricted cash is less than such threshold on such date, 1.75:1.00 and (b) for any fiscal quarter ending after December 31, 2024, 1.90:1.00.

The ABL Facility also requires that Summit Holdings not permit the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Agreement) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to be greater than 2.50:1.00. The Partnership is in compliance with the financial covenants of the ABL Facility.

A portion of the proceeds from the Utica Sale were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility. As of June 30, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility.

As of June 30, 2024, the applicable margin under adjusted term SOFR borrowings was 2.475%, the average interest rate was 7.79% and the unused portion of the Permian Transmission Credit Facilities totaled $4.5 million, subject to a commitment fee of 0.7% after giving effect to the issuance of $10.5 million in outstanding but undrawn irrevocable standby letters of credit. Summit Permian Transmission, LLC entered into interest rate hedges with notional amounts representing approximately 90% of the Permian Term Loan facility at a fixed SOFR rate of 1.23%. The Partnership is in compliance with the financial covenants of the Permian Transmission Credit Facilities.

2026 Secured Notes. In 2021, the Co-Issuers issued $700.0 million of 8.500% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2026 to eligible purchasers pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act, at a price of 98.5% of their face value. Additionally, in November 2022, in connection with the 2022 DJ Acquisitions, the Co-Issuers issued an additional $85.0 million of 2026 Secured Notes at a price of 99.26% of their face value. The 2026 Secured Notes will pay interest semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2022 and are jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior second-priority secured basis (subject to permitted liens), by the Partnership and each restricted subsidiary of the Partnership (other than the Co-Issuers) that is an obligor under the ABL Agreement, or under the Co-Issuers’ 2025 Senior Notes on the issue date of the 2026 Secured Notes.

The 2026 Secured Notes are effectively subordinated to any of our or the guarantors’ current and future secured first lien indebtedness, including indebtedness incurred under the ABL Facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and our and the guarantors’ current and future debt that is secured by liens on assets other than the collateral, to the extent of the value of such assets. The 2026 Secured Notes are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2026 Secured Notes (including, but not limited to, the Permian Transmission Credit Facilities and the Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units). The 2026 Secured Notes are effectively equal to our and the guarantors’ obligations under any future second lien indebtedness and effectively senior to all of our future junior lien indebtedness and existing and future unsecured indebtedness, including our outstanding senior unsecured notes, to the

Table of Contents

extent of the value of the collateral, and senior to any of our future subordinated indebtedness. The 2026 Secured Notes will mature on October 15, 2026.

On and after October 15, 2023, the Co-Issuers may redeem all or part of the 2026 Secured Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to: (a) 104.250% for the twelve-month period beginning October 15, 2023; (b) 102.125% for the twelve-month period beginning October 15, 2024; and (c) 100.000% for the twelve-month period beginning on October 15, 2025 and at any time thereafter, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the redemption date. The Partnership is in compliance with the covenants governing its 2026 Secured Notes.

Starting in the first quarter of 2023 with respect to the fiscal year ended 2022, and continuing annually through the fiscal year ended 2025, the Partnership is required under the terms of the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture to, if it has Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture), and subject to its ability to make such an offer under the ABL Facility, offer to purchase an amount of the 2026 Secured Notes, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, equal to 100% of the Excess Cash Flow generated in the prior year. Excess Cash Flow is generally defined as consolidated cash flow minus the sum of capital expenditures and cash payments in respect of permitted investments and permitted restricted payments.

Generally, if the Partnership does not offer to purchase designated annual amounts of its 2026 Secured Notes or reduce its first lien capacity under the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture per annum from 2023 through 2025, the interest rate on the 2026 Secured Notes is subject to certain rate escalations. Per the terms of the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture, the designated amounts are to offer to purchase $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Secured Notes by April 1, 2023, otherwise the interest rate shall automatically increase by 50 basis points per annum; $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Secured Notes by April 1, 2024, otherwise the interest rate shall automatically increase by 100 basis points per annum (minus any amount previously increased); and $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Secured Notes by April 1, 2025, otherwise the interest rate shall automatically increase by 200 basis points per annum (minus any amount previously increased).

Based on the amount of our Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year ended 2023, on March 27, 2024, the Partnership commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to $19.3 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Secured Notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The cash flow offer expired on April 24, 2024 with $13.6 million tendered and validly accepted and fully discharged as of June 30, 2024 (the “Excess Cash Flow Offer”).

As of April 1, 2024, the Partnership had not made offers to purchase in the required amount of $100.0 million and the interest rate on the 2026 Secured Notes increased an incremental 50 basis points to 9.50% effective on such date.

On May 7, 2024, the Co-Issuers commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to $215.0 million of the outstanding 2026 Secured Notes (the “Asset Sale Offer”). The Asset Sale Offer expired on June 5, 2024 with $6.9 million of the 2026 Secured Notes tendered and validly accepted and fully discharged as of June 30, 2024.

To the extent the Partnership makes an offer to purchase, and the offer is not fully accepted by the holders of the 2026 Secured Notes, the Partnership may use any remaining amount not accepted for any purpose not prohibited by the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture or the ABL Facility.

For additional information, see Note 16 – Subsequent Events.

2026 Unsecured Notes. In November 2023, the Co-Issuers issued a total of $209.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Unsecured Notes in exchange for $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes and $29.5 million in cash. The cash raised was used to repurchase $29.7 million aggregate principal amount of the remaining 2025 Senior Notes that were not exchanged. The Partnership paid interest on the 2026 Unsecured Notes semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year.

On June 7, 2024, the Co-Issuers delivered a redemption notice with respect to all $209.5 million of the outstanding 2026 Unsecured Notes. On June 24, 2024, the 2026 Unsecured Notes were fully repaid and discharged. As of June 30, 2024, no amounts of the 2026 Unsecured Notes remained outstanding.

2025 Senior Notes. In February 2017, the Co-Issuers co-issued the 2025 Senior Notes. The Partnership pays interest on the 2025 Senior Notes semi-annually in cash in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year. The 2025 Senior Notes are senior, unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Partnership’s existing and future senior obligations. The 2025 Senior Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of the Partnership’s secured indebtedness, to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness including indebtedness incurred under the ABL Facility and the 2026 Secured Notes.

The Co-Issuers have the right to redeem all or part of the 2025 Senior Notes at a redemption price of 100.00%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the redemption date.

Table of Contents

9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value. A summary of the estimated fair value of our debt financial instruments follows.


	June 30, 2024				December 31, 2023
	Carrying Value (1)		Estimated fair value (Level 2)		Carrying Value (1)		Estimated fair value (Level 2)
	(In thousands)

2025 Senior Notes	$	49,783	$	49,451	$	49,783	$	48,414
2026 Secured Notes	$	764,464	$	785,818	$	785,000	$	778,131
2026 Unsecured Notes	$	—	$	—	$	209,510	$	203,225

(1) Excludes applicable unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discounts.

The carrying values on the balance sheets of the ABL Facility and Permian Transmission Term Loan represent their fair value due to their floating interest rates. The fair values of the 2026 Unsecured Notes, 2026 Secured Notes and 2025 Senior Notes are based on an average of nonbinding broker quotes as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on their estimated fair value of the Senior Notes.

Deferred earn-out. The Partnership’s deferred earn-out liability was settled in full during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the deferred earn-out liability was $5.1 million, and was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique based on estimated future freshwater deliveries and appropriate discount rates. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the fair value measurement of the deferred earn-out is deemed to use Level 3 inputs.

Interest Rate Swaps. In connection with the Permian Transmission Term Loan, the Partnership entered into amortizing interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding notional amounts of interest rate swaps were $123.5 million and $130.4 million, respectively. These interest rate swaps manage exposure to variability in expected cash flows attributable to interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps convert a portion of the Partnership’s variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The Partnership chooses counterparties for its derivative instruments that it believes are creditworthy at the time the transactions are entered into, and the Partnership actively monitors the creditworthiness where applicable. However, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to the Partnership. The Partnership presents its derivative positions on a gross basis and does not net the asset and liability positions.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Partnership’s interest rate swap agreements had a fair value of $12.8 million and $11.9 million, respectively, and are recorded within other noncurrent assets within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The derivative instruments’ fair value are determined using level 2 inputs from the fair value hierarchy. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Partnership recorded a gain on interest rate swaps of $0.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, the Partnership had 93,039 Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units issued and outstanding.

If the Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units were redeemed on June 30, 2024, the redemption amount would be $128.8 million when considering the applicable multiple of invested capital metric and make-whole amount provisions contained in the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Permian Holdco.

The following table shows the change in the Partnership’s Subsidiary Series A Preferred Unit balance from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024, net of $1.4 million and $1.7 million of unamortized issuance costs at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively:

Cash distribution (includes a $1.6 million distribution payable as of June 30, 2024)	(3,256)
Balance at June 30, 2024	$	129,032

Cash Distribution Policy. The Partnership suspended its cash distributions to holders of its common units and Series A Preferred Units, commencing with respect to the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Upon the resumption of distributions, the Partnership Agreement would have required that it distribute all available cash, subject to reserves established by its General Partner, within 45 days after the end of each quarter to unitholders of record on the applicable record date. The amount of distributions paid under this policy was subject to fluctuations based on the amount of cash the Partnership generated from its business and the decision to make any distribution was determined by the General Partner, taking into consideration the terms of the Partnership Agreement. There were no distributions paid during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023. In connection with the consummation of the Corporate Reorganization (as defined herein), the Partnership Agreement was amended to, among other things, reflect that all of the issued and outstanding limited partnership interests of the Partnership are held by Summit Midstream Corporation. For information on the Corporate Reorganization, see Note 16 – Subsequent Events.

13. UNIT-BASED AND NONCASH COMPENSATION

SMLP Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Partnership’s 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“SMLP LTIP”) provides for equity awards to eligible officers, employees, consultants and directors of the Partnership, thereby linking the recipients’ compensation directly to SMLP’s performance. Significant items to note:

•For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Partnership granted 230,815 time-based phantom units and associated distribution equivalent rights to employees in connection with the Partnership’s annual incentive compensation award cycle. The grant date fair value of these awards totaled $3.7 million and the awards vest ratably over a 3-year period.

•For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Partnership granted 122,867 performance-based phantom units and associated distribution equivalent rights to certain members of management in connection with the Partnership’s annual incentive compensation award cycle. The grant date fair value of these awards totaled $2.4 million and the awards vest at the end of three years.

•For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, the Partnership issued 39,486 common units to the Partnership’s six independent directors in connection with their annual compensation plan. The grant date fair value of these awards totaled $0.6 million and became fully vested at the grant date.

•On May 16, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Partnership approved the First Amendment to the SMLP LTIP, which increased the number of common units that may be delivered with respect to awards granted under the SMLP LTIP by 750,000 common units. As of June 30, 2024, approximately 0.9 million common units remained available for future issuance under the SMLP LTIP, which includes the impact of 0.7 million granted but unvested phantom units.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters. Although the Partnership believes that it is in material compliance with applicable environmental regulations, the risk of environmental remediation costs and liabilities are inherent in pipeline ownership and operation. Furthermore, the Partnership can provide no assurances that significant environmental remediation costs and liabilities will not be incurred in the future. The Partnership is currently not aware of any material contingent liabilities that exist with respect to environmental matters, except as noted below.

As of June 30, 2024, the Partnership has recognized (i) a current liability for remediation effort expenditures expected to be incurred within the next 12 months and (ii) a noncurrent liability for estimated remediation expenditures expected to be incurred subsequent to June 30, 2025. Each of these amounts represent the Partnership’s best estimate for costs expected to be incurred. Neither of these amounts have been discounted to their present value.

An update of the Partnership’s undiscounted accrued environmental remediation is as follows and is primarily related to the 2015 Blacktail Release and other environmental remediation activities, as detailed below.

Accrued environmental remediation, December 31, 2023	$	2,937

Changes in estimates	623
Accrued environmental remediation, June 30, 2024	$	2,962

In 2015, the Partnership learned of the rupture of a four-inch produced water gathering pipeline on the Meadowlark Midstream system near Williston, North Dakota (“2015 Blacktail Release”). On August 4, 2021, subsidiaries of the Partnership entered into the following agreements to resolve the U.S. federal and North Dakota state governments’ environmental claims with respect to the 2015 Blacktail Release: (i) a Consent Decree with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), and the State of North Dakota (“Consent Decree”); (ii) a Plea Agreement with the United States (“Plea Agreement”); and (iii) a Consent Agreement with the North Dakota Industrial Commission (“Consent Agreement” together with the Consent Decree and Plea Agreement, the “Global Settlement”). As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the accrued loss liability for the 2015 Blacktail Release was $21.7 million and are recorded within Other noncurrent liabilities and Accrued settlement payable within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Key terms of the Global Settlement included (i) payment of penalties and fines totaling $36.3 million, consisting of $1.25 million in natural resource damages payable to federal and state governments, $25.0 million payable to the federal government over 5 years, and $10.0 million payable to state governments over, for the federal and state civil amounts, six years and, for the federal criminal amounts, five years, with interest applied to unpaid amounts accruing at, for the federal and state civil amounts, a fixed rate of 3.25% and, for the federal criminal amounts, a variable rate set by statute, and of which

Table of Contents

$6.7 million is expected to be paid within the next twelve months; (ii) continuation of remediation efforts at the site of the 2015 Blacktail Release; (iii) other injunctive relief, including, but not limited to, control room management, environmental management system audit, training, and reporting; (iv) guilty pleas by defendant Summit Midstream Partners, LLC (the “Defendant”) for (a) one charge of negligent discharge of a harmful quantity of oil and (b) one charge of knowing failure to immediately report a discharge of oil; and (v) organizational probation for a minimum period of three years from sentencing on December 6, 2021, including payment in full of certain components of the fines and penalty amounts. The agreements comprising the Global Settlement were subject to the approval of the U.S. District Court for the District of North Dakota (the “U.S. District Court”). The U.S. District Court entered an order making the civil components of the Global Settlement effective on September 28, 2021 and accepted the sentencing in the Plea Agreement on December 6, 2021, completing approval of the Global Settlement.

Subsidiaries of the Partnership are also participating in two proceedings before the EPA as a result of the Plea Agreement becoming effective. Following the U.S. District Court’s entering judgment on Defendant subsidiary’s guilty plea to one count of negligent discharge of produced water in violation of the Clean Water Act, Defendant subsidiary was statutorily debarred by operation of law pursuant to 33 U.S.C. § 1368(a) to participate in federal awards performed at the “violating facility,” which EPA determined to be the Marmon subsystem of the produced water gathering system in North Dakota. The scope and effect of the debarment as defined do not materially affect our operations. Defendant has submitted a petition for reinstatement, which was denied by the EPA’s suspension and debarment office (“SDO”) on July 11, 2022. The SDO determined that the term of probation in the Plea Agreement was the appropriate period of time to demonstrate Defendant subsidiary’s change of corporate attitude, policies, practices, and procedures. The Partnership and certain subsidiaries have also received a show cause notice from the EPA requesting us to “show cause” why SDO should not issue a Notice of Proposed Debarment to the Defendant subsidiary and certain affiliates under 2 C.F.R. § 180.800(d), to which the Partnership has responded, and in which proceeding no further developments have occurred.

Legal Proceedings. The Partnership is involved in various litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, any liabilities, which include insured claims, would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Corporate Reorganization. On August 1, 2024, following unitholder approval at the Partnership’s Special Meeting of Unitholders on July 18, 2024, the Partnership consummated a previously announced transaction that resulted in the Partnership becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of a newly formed Delaware corporation, Summit Midstream Corporation (the “Corporate Reorganization”). Upon the consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, each outstanding common unit of the Partnership was converted into the right to receive 1.000 shares of common stock of Summit Midstream Corporation and each outstanding Series A Preferred Unit was converted into the right to receive 1.000 shares of Series A Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) of Summit Midstream Corporation, with the liquidation preference of each share of Series A Preferred Stock initially equal to $1,000 and the Certificate of Designation of Series A Floating Rate Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock of Summit Midstream Corporation (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) deeming all accumulated and unpaid distributions on the Series A Preferred Units to be Series A Unpaid Cash Dividends (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation) per share of Series A Preferred Stock, which constituted all consideration to be paid in respect to such Series A Preferred Units, and any rights to accumulated and unpaid distributions on such Series A Preferred Units were discharged.

Refinancing Transactions.

2029 Notes. On July 26, 2024, Summit Holdings issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The 2029 Notes are guaranteed on a senior second-priority basis by Summit Midstream Corporation and certain of Summit Midstream Corporation’s existing and future subsidiaries and are secured on a second-priority basis by substantially the same collateral that is pledged for the benefit of the lenders under the Amended and

Table of Contents

Restated ABL Facility (as defined below). The 2029 Notes mature on October 31, 2029 and have interest payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15, commencing on February 15, 2025.

At any time prior to July 31, 2026, Summit Holdings may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes at a redemption rate of 108.625% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date, in an amount not greater than the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings. At any time before July 31, 2026, Summit Holdings may also redeem the 2029 Notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus a make-whole premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Thereafter, Summit Holdings may redeem all or a portion of the 2029 Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest if redeemed during the periods indicated below:


Period	Redemption Price
July 31, 2026 to July 30, 2027	104.313	%
July 31, 2027 to July 30, 2028	102.156	%
July 31, 2028 and thereafter	100.000	%

2026 Secured Notes Tender Offer and Redemption. On July 26, 2024, concurrently with closing the offering of 2029 Notes, Summit Holdings and Finance Corp. consummated a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the outstanding 2026 Secured Notes (the “2026 Secured Notes Tender Offer”). Summit Holdings and Finance Corp. accepted for payment and made payment for $649.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Secured Notes validly tendered in the 2026 Secured Notes Tender Offer. On July 26, 2024, concurrently with consummation of the 2026 Secured Notes Tender Offer, Summit Holdings and Finance Corp. delivered notice of redemption to holders of 2026 Secured Notes for the redemption of all $114.7 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Secured Notes not purchased in the 2026 Secured Notes Tender Offer, at a price equal to 102.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (which is expected to be October 15, 2024). On July 26, 2024, concurrently with delivery of notice of redemption, Summit Holdings and Finance Corp. irrevocably deposited $121.2 million in aggregate principal amount of non-callable United States Treasury securities, which includes amounts for principal, interest, and premium with the trustee to satisfy and discharge the 2026 Secured Notes until redeemed on October 15, 2024 with the funds deposited with the trustee.

2025 Senior Notes Redemption. On July 17, 2024, Summit Holdings and Finance Corp. delivered conditional notice of redemption to holders of 2025 Senior Notes for the redemption of all $49.8 million aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2025 Senior Notes, at a price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, conditioned on closing of the offering of 2029 Notes. On July 26, 2024, concurrently with closing of the offering of 2029 Notes, Summit Holdings and Finance Corp. irrevocably deposited $50.6 million in aggregate principal amount of non-callable United States Treasury securities, which includes amounts for principal and interest with the trustee to satisfy and discharge the 2025 Senior Notes until redeemed with the funds deposited with the trustee.

Amended and Restated ABL Facility. Concurrently with the issuance of the 2029 Notes, on July 26, 2024, Summit Holdings, as borrower, amended and restated its existing first-lien, senior secured credit agreement, with the Partnership, the subsidiaries party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as agent, and the several lenders and other agents party thereto, consisting of a $500.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the “Amended and Restated ABL Facility”), subject to a borrowing base comprised of a percentage of eligible accounts receivable of Summit Holdings and its subsidiaries that guarantee the Amended and Restated ABL Facility (collectively, the “Amended and Restated ABL Facility Subsidiary Guarantors”) and a percentage of eligible above-ground fixed assets including eligible compression units, processing plants, compression stations and related equipment of Summit Holdings and the Amended and Restated ABL Facility Subsidiary Guarantors.

Summit Holdings amended and restated its existing ABL Facility pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the “New ABL Agreement”), dated as of July 26, 2024.

The Amended and Restated ABL Facility will mature on the earliest of (a) July 26, 2029, (b) July 31, 2029 if either (i) the outstanding amount of the 2029 Notes (or any refinancing debt permitted under the Amended and Restated ABL Facility in respect thereof that has a final maturity date, scheduled amortization or any other scheduled repayment, mandatory prepayment, mandatory redemption or sinking fund obligation prior to the date that is 91 days after the Amended and Restated ABL Termination Date (as defined below) (provided, that the terms of such permitted refinancing debt may (x) require the payment of interest from time to time and (y) include customary mandatory redemptions, prepayments or offers to purchase with proceeds of asset sales or upon the occurrence of a change of control)) on such date equals or exceeds $50.0 million or (ii) the outstanding amount of such debt described in clause (i) above on such date is less than $50.0 million and Liquidity (as defined in the New ABL Agreement) at any time on or after such date is less than the sum of (A) such outstanding amount and (B) the greater of (x) 10% of the aggregate Commitments (as defined in the New ABL Agreement) then in effect and (y) $50.0 million (and, for the avoidance of doubt, once the Amended and Restated ABL Termination Date occurs it may not be unwound as a

Table of Contents

result of Liquidity increasing on a subsequent date), and (c) any date on which the aggregate Commitments terminate thereunder (such date, the “Amended and Restated ABL Termination Date”).

Borrowings under the Amended and Restated ABL Facility will bear interest, at the election of Summit Holdings, at a SOFR-based rate or a base rate, in each case, plus an applicable borrowing margin based on our Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New ABL Agreement consistent with the ABL Facility). The applicable margin for base rate loans will vary from 1.50% to 2.25% and the applicable margin for SOFR-based loans will vary from 2.50% to 3.25%, in each case, depending on our Total Net Leverage Ratio.

The Amended and Restated ABL Facility (together with certain Secured Bank Product Obligations (as defined in the New ABL Agreement)) will be jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior first-priority secured basis (subject to permitted liens), by the Partnership, Summit Holdings and each of the Amended and Restated ABL Facility Subsidiary Guarantors.

The Amended and Restated ABL Facility restricts, among other things, Summit Holdings’ and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ (as defined in the New ABL Agreement) ability and the ability of certain of their subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; (ii) make distributions or repurchase equity; (iii) make payments on or redeem junior lien, unsecured or subordinated indebtedness; (iv) create liens or other encumbrances; (v) make investments, loans or other guarantees; (vi) engage in transactions with affiliates; and (viii) make acquisitions or merge or consolidate with another entity. These covenants are subject both to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

The Amended and Restated ABL Facility requires that Summit Holdings not permit (i) the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the New ABL Agreement) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to be greater than 2.50:1.00, or (ii) the Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the New ABL Agreement) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to be less than 2.00:1.00.

The Amended and Restated ABL Facility contains certain events of default customary for instruments of this type. In the case of an event of default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to Summit Holdings, all outstanding Obligations (as defined in the New ABL Agreement) will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice and all commitments under the Amended and Restated ABL Facility will terminate.

Pursuant to the New ABL Agreement, the Obligations (as defined in the New ABL Agreement) are (or, subject to post-closing periods for certain types of collateral, will be) generally secured by a first priority lien on and security interest in (subject to permitted liens), subject to certain exclusions and limitations set forth in the New ABL Agreement, (i) substantially all of the personal property of Summit Holdings and the Amended and Restated ABL Facility Subsidiary Guarantors, (ii) all equity interests in Summit Holdings and certain other entities, all debt securities and certain rights related to the foregoing, in each case, owned by the Partnership, (iii) Closing Date Gathering Station Real Property and Closing Date Pipeline Systems Real Property (each, as defined in the New ABL Agreement) and certain other material real property interests (including improvements thereon) of Summit Holdings and the Amended and Restated ABL Facility Subsidiary Guarantors as provided in the New ABL Agreement and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing collateral.

Intercreditor Agreement. On November 2, 2021, Summit Holdings and the other guarantors party thereto entered into an Intercreditor Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Intercreditor Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as first lien representative and collateral agent for the initial first lien claimholders, and Regions Bank, as initial second lien representative for the initial second lien claimholders and collateral agent for the initial second lien claimholders, which was reaffirmed by Bank of America, N.A., in connection with its entry into the Amended and Restated ABL Facility, and which Regions Bank joined as an additional second lien representative for the additional second lien claimholders and additional second lien collateral agent for the additional second lien claimholders, in each case, substantially concurrently with the entry into the Amended and Restated ABL Facility. The Intercreditor Agreement establishes (i) a first-priority lien (subject to permitted liens) status for the liens on the collateral securing the ABL Facility (and will apply to the Amended and Restated ABL Facility) and any additional first-lien indebtedness and (ii) a junior priority lien (subject to permitted liens) status for the liens on the collateral securing the 2026 Secured Notes and any additional second-lien indebtedness (including the 2029 Notes).

As a result, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this report and the MD&A and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes that are included in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”). Among other things, those financial statements and the related notes include more detailed information regarding the basis of presentation for the following information. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that constitute our plans, estimates and beliefs. These forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed in Forward-Looking Statements. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a value-driven limited partnership focused on developing, owning and operating midstream energy infrastructure assets that are strategically located in unconventional resource basins, primarily shale formations, in the continental United States.

Our financial results are driven primarily by volume throughput across our gathering systems and by expense management. We generate the majority of our revenues from the gathering, compression, treating and processing services that we provide to our customers. A majority of the volumes that we gather, compress, treat and/or process have a fixed-fee rate structure which enhances the stability of our cash flows by providing a revenue stream that is not subject to direct commodity price risk. We also earn a portion of our revenues from the following activities that directly expose us to fluctuations in commodity prices: (i) the sale of physical natural gas and/or NGLs purchased under percentage-of-proceeds or other processing arrangements with certain of our customers in the Rockies and Piceance segments, (ii) the sale of natural gas we retain from certain Barnett segment customers, (iii) the sale of condensate we retain from our gathering services in the Rockies and Piceance segment and (iv) additional gathering fees that are tied to the performance of certain commodity price indexes which are then added to the fixed gathering rates.

We also have indirect exposure to changes in commodity prices such that persistently low commodity prices may cause our customers to delay and/or cancel drilling and/or completion activities or temporarily shut-in production, which would reduce the volumes of natural gas and crude oil (and associated volumes of produced water) that we gather. If certain of our customers cancel or delay drilling and/or completion activities or temporarily shut-in production, the associated MVCs, if any, ensure that we will earn a minimum amount of revenue.

Trends and Outlook

Our business has been, and we expect our future business to continue to be, affected by the following key trends:

•Ongoing impact of political and economic conditions and events in foreign oil and natural gas producing countries on commodity prices, including the continued conflict in the Middle East, current Russia-Ukraine conflict, the international sanctions against Russia and other sustained military campaigns;

•Natural gas, NGL and crude oil supply and demand dynamics;

•Actions of the OPEC and its allies, including the ability and willingness of the members of OPEC and other exporting nations to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls;

•Production from U.S. shale plays;

•Capital markets availability and cost of capital; and

•Inflation and shifts in operating costs.

Our expectations are based on assumptions made by us and information currently available to us. To the extent our underlying assumptions about, or interpretations of, available information prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from our expected results. For additional information, see the "Trends and Outlook" section of MD&A included in the 2023 Annual Report.

Table of Contents

Mountaineer Transaction. On May 1, 2024, we completed the Mountaineer Transaction for a cash sale price of $70.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Mountaineer Midstream was the owner of midstream assets located in the Marcellus Shale. Prior to closing the Mountaineer Transaction, we sold related compression assets located in the Marcellus Shale to a compression service provider for approximately $5 million in April 2024.

Summit Utica Sale. As previously announced on March 22, 2024, we completed the Utica Sale for a cash sale price of $625.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Summit Utica was the owner of (i) approximately 36% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in OGC, (ii) approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in OCC, together with OGC, Ohio Gathering and (iii) midstream assets located in the Utica Shale. Ohio Gathering was the owner of a natural gas gathering system and condensate stabilization facility located in Belmont and Monroe counties in the Utica Shale in southeastern Ohio.

Refinancing Transactions. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, and as described below, the Partnership issued the 2029 Notes and completed the 2026 Secured Notes Tender Offer and subsequent redemption, and the redemption of the 2025 Senior Notes. 2029 Notes. On July 26, 2024, Summit Holdings issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”). The 2029 Notes mature on October 31, 2029 and have interest payable semi-annually in arrears on each February 15 and August 15, commencing on February 15, 2025.

2026 Secured Notes Tender Offer and Redemption. Concurrently with closing the offering of 2029 Notes, Summit Holdings and Finance Corp. consummated a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of the outstanding 2026 Secured Notes (the “2026 Secured Notes Tender Offer”). Summit Holdings and Finance Corp. accepted for payment and made payment for $649.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Secured Notes validly tendered in the 2026 Notes Tender Offer. On July 26, 2024, concurrently with consummation of the 2026 Secured Notes Tender Offer, Summit Holdings and Finance Corp. delivered notice of redemption to holders of 2026 Secured Notes for the redemption of all $114.7 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Secured Notes not purchased in the 2026 Secured Notes Tender Offer, at a price equal to 102.125% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date (which is expected to be October 15, 2024). On July 26, 2024, concurrently with delivery of notice of redemption, Summit Holdings and Finance Corp. irrevocably deposited $121.2 million in aggregate principal amount of non-callable United States Treasury securities, which includes amounts for principal, interest, and premium with the trustee to satisfy and discharge the 2026 Secured Notes until redeemed on October 15, 2024 with the funds deposited with the trustee.

C-corporation conversion. In connection with the recently concluded strategic alternatives review, we evaluated various corporate structures to determine how to drive the greatest long-term value for unitholders. We believe converting to a C-corporation positions us to maximize value by reducing unitholders’ tax burdens moving forward, enhancing trading liquidity, and expanding the universe of potential investors. On August 1, 2024, the Partnership consummated the Corporate Reorganization, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of a newly formed Delaware corporation, Summit Midstream Corporation. For additional information, see Note 16 –Subsequent Events.

Conclusion of Strategic Alternatives Review. In connection with the announcement of the Utica Sale, we also announced the conclusion of the strategic alternative review process undertaken by our Board of Directors that was previously announced on October 3, 2023. While we have concluded our active process, we remain open to all potential value-enhancing transactions.

Capital structure optimization and portfolio management. We intend to continue to improve our capital structure in the future by reducing our indebtedness with free cash flow, and when appropriate, we may pursue opportunistic transactions with the objective of increasing long term unitholder value. This may include opportunistic acquisitions, divestitures (such as the Utica Sale in 2024), re-allocation of capital to new or existing areas, and development of joint ventures involving our existing midstream assets or new investment opportunities. We believe that our current cash balance, internally generated cash flow, our ABL Facility, the Permian Credit Facility, and access to debt or equity will be adequate to finance our strategic initiatives. To attain our overall corporate strategic objectives, we may conduct an asset divestiture, or divestitures, at a transaction valuation that is less than the net book value of the divested asset. For additional information, see Note 16 – Subsequent Events.

Ongoing impact of political and economic conditions and events in foreign oil and natural gas producing countries on commodity prices. Although we operate solely in the United States, certain events and conditions in foreign oil and natural gas producing countries, such as the continued conflict in the Middle East, including the Hamas-Israel war and Russia’s invasion of

Table of Contents

Ukraine, could have potential effects on us, including, but not limited to, volatility in currencies and commodity prices, higher inflation, cost and supply chain pressures and availability and disruptions in banking systems and capital markets. As of the date of filing, there have been no material impacts to us.

Based on recently updated production forecasts and 2024 development plans from our customers, we currently expect that 2024 activity will be higher than 2023 and be at an activity level near our historical periods prior to COVID-19.

Impact of increases in interest rates. Increases in interest rates could adversely affect our future ability to obtain financing or materially increase the cost of existing and any additional financing. Since March 2022, the Federal Reserve has raised its target range for the federal funds rate multiple times to a current target range of 5.25% to 5.50%, and the timing of any potential further increases or decreases remains uncertain. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $814.2 million principal of fixed-rate debt, nil outstanding under our variable rate ABL Facility and $137.2 million outstanding under the variable rate Permian Transmission Term Loan (see Note 8 - Debt). As of June 30, 2024, we had $123.5 million of interest rate exposure hedged to offset the impact of changes in interest rates on our Permian Transmission Term Loan.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Prior to the Utica Sale and Mountaineer Transaction, we conducted and reported our operations in the midstream energy industry through five reportable segments: Northeast, Rockies, Permian, Piceance and Barnett. Each of our reportable segments provides midstream services in a specific geographic area and our reportable segments reflect the way in which we internally report the financial information used to make decisions and allocate resources in connection with our operations. For additional information see Note 15 - Segment Information.

Our management uses a variety of financial and operational metrics to analyze our consolidated and segment performance. We view these metrics as important factors in evaluating our profitability. These metrics include:

•throughput volume;

•revenues;

•operation and maintenance expenses;

•capital expenditures; and

•segment adjusted EBITDA.

We review these metrics on a regular basis for consistency and trend analysis. There have been no changes in the composition or characteristics of these metrics during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Additional Information. For additional information, see the "Results of Operations" section herein and the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. For additional information on how these metrics help us manage our business, see the "How We Evaluate Our Operations" section of MD&A included in the 2023 Annual Report. For information on impending accounting changes that are expected to materially impact our financial results reported in future periods, see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards Applicable to the Partnership.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by $3.5 million and $7.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, primarily due to increased employee salaries and benefit expense, as well as professional and other expenses associated with our Corporate Reorganization.

Transaction costs. Transaction costs in 2024 are primarily related to the Utica Sale that closed on March 22, 2024, the Mountaineer Transaction that closed on May 1, 2024 and the costs incurred in connection with our Corporate Reorganization and strategic alternatives review .

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to $7.3 million of reduced interest expense in connection with the repayment of the ABL Facility and $3.0 of reduced interest expense as a result of the exchange and repurchase of $209.7 million of the 2025 Senior Notes that occurred in November 2023, partially offset by $5.7 million of increased borrowing costs on the 2026 Unsecured Notes issued in November 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We rely primarily on internally generated cash flows as well as current cash balance and external financing sources, including commercial bank borrowings, and the issuance of debt, equity and preferred equity securities, and proceeds from potential asset divestitures to fund our capital expenditures. We believe that our ABL Facility and Permian Transmission Credit Facility, together with internally generated cash flows, current cash balance and access to debt or equity capital markets, will be adequate to finance our operations for the next twelve months without adversely impacting our liquidity.

We may enter into off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions that can give rise to material off-balance sheet obligations. As of June 30, 2024, our material off-balance sheet arrangements and transactions include (i) letters of credit outstanding against our ABL Facility aggregating to $4.3 million, and (ii) letters of credit outstanding against our Permian Transmission Credit Facility aggregating to $10.5 million. There are no other transactions, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are reasonably likely to materially affect our liquidity or availability of our capital resources.

We are in compliance with all covenants contained in the Senior Notes, the ABL Facility and the Permian Transmission Credit Facility. The ABL Facility requires that Summit Holdings not permit (i) the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Agreement) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to be greater than 2.50:1.00, or (ii) the Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the ABL Agreement) for any fiscal quarter ending on or before December 31, 2024, (x) if no loans under the Credit Agreement are outstanding and unrestricted cash exceeds $200.0 million on such date, 1.50:1.00 and (y) if any loans under the Credit Agreement are outstanding or unrestricted cash is less than such threshold on such date, 1.75:1.00 and (b) thereafter, 1.90:1.00.

Table of Contents

ABL Facility. As of June 30, 2024, we had a $400.0 million revolving ABL Facility with a maturity date of May 1, 2026; provided that if the outstanding amount of the 2025 Senior Notes (or any permitted refinancing indebtedness in respect thereof that has a final maturity, scheduled amortization or any other scheduled repayment, mandatory prepayment, mandatory redemption or sinking fund obligation prior to the date that is 120 days after the Termination Date (as defined in the ABL Agreement)) on such date equals or exceeds $50.0 million, then the ABL Facility will mature on December 13, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, there were no amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility and the available borrowing capacity totaled $371.7 million after giving effect to the issuance thereunder of $4.3 million of outstanding but undrawn irrevocable standby letters of credit and $24.0 million of commitment reserves. For additional information on our refinancing transactions, see Note 16.

2025 Senior Notes. In February 2017, the Co-Issuers co-issued $500.0 million of 5.75% senior unsecured notes maturing April 15, 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”). As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the 2025 Senior Notes was $49.8 million. The 2025 Senior Notes were senior, unsecured obligations and ranked equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior obligations. The 2025 Senior Notes were effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of our secured indebtedness, to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness. As of June 30, 2024, the Co-Issuers could have redeemed all or part of the 2025 Senior Notes at a redemption price of 100.000%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the redemption date. For additional information on our refinancing transactions, see Note 16.

2026 Secured Notes. In November 2021, we issued $700.0 million of the 2026 Secured Notes, at a price of 98.5% of face value. Additionally, in November 2022, we issued an additional $85.0 million of 2026 Secured Notes at a price of 99.26% of their face value. The Co-Issuers paid interest on the 2026 Secured Notes semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, and the 2026 Secured Notes were jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior second-priority secured basis (subject to permitted liens), by us and each of our restricted subsidiaries that is an obligor under the ABL Facility, or under the 2025 Senior Notes on the issue date of the 2026 Secured Notes. As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the 2026 Secured Notes was $764.5 million.

The 2026 Secured Notes would have matured on October 15, 2026; provided that, if the outstanding amount of the 2025 Senior Notes (or any refinancing indebtedness in respect thereof that has a final maturity on or prior to the date that is 91 days after the Initial Maturity Date (as defined in the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture)) is greater than or equal to $50.0 million on January 14, 2025, which is 91 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of the 2025 Senior Notes, then the 2026 Secured Notes would have matured on January 14, 2025.

Starting in the first quarter of 2023 with respect to the fiscal year ended 2022, and continuing annually through the fiscal year ended 2025, we were required under the terms of the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture to, if we have Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture), and subject to our ability to make such an offer under the ABL Facility, offer to purchase an amount of the 2026 Secured Notes, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, equal to 100% of the Excess Cash Flow generated in the prior year. Excess Cash Flow is generally defined as consolidated cash flow minus the sum of capital expenditures and cash payments in respect of permitted investments and permitted restricted payments.

Generally, if we did not offer to purchase designated annual amounts of its 2026 Secured Notes or reduce its first lien capacity under the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture per annum from 2023 through 2025, the interest rate on the 2026 Secured Notes is subject to certain rate escalations. Per the terms of the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture, the designated amounts are $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Secured Notes by April 1, 2023, otherwise the interest rate shall automatically increase by 50 basis points per annum; $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Secured Notes by April 1, 2024, otherwise the interest rate shall automatically increase by 100 basis points per annum (minus any amount previously increased); and $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Secured Notes by April 1, 2025, otherwise the interest rate shall automatically increase by 200 basis points per annum (minus any amount previously increased).

Based on the amount of our Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year ended 2023, on March 27, 2024, we commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to $19.3 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Secured Notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The cash flow offer expired on April 24, 2024 with $13.6 million tendered and validly accepted and fully discharged as of June 30, 2024.

As of April 1, 2024, we had not made offers to purchase in the required amount of $100.0 million and the interest rate on the 2026 Secured Notes increased an incremental 50 basis points to 9.50% effective on such date.

On May 7, 2024, we commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to $215.0 million of the outstanding 2026 Secured Notes (the “Asset Sale Offer”). The Asset Sale Offer expired on June 5, 2024 with $6.9 million of the 2026 Secured Notes validly tendered and fully discharged as of June 30, 2024.

Table of Contents

To the extent we made an offer to purchase, and the offer was not fully accepted by the holders of the 2026 Secured Notes, we could have used any remaining amount not accepted for any purpose not prohibited by the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture or the ABL Facility.

For additional information on our refinancing transactions, see Note 16.

2026 Unsecured Notes. In November 2023, we issued a total of $209.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2026 Unsecured Notes in exchange for $180.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Senior Notes and $29.5 million in cash. The 2026 Unsecured Notes bore interest at 12.00% and would have matured on October 15, 2026, in line with the maturity date of the 2026 Secured Notes. On June 7, 2024, the Co-Issuers, delivered a redemption notice with respect to all $209.5 million of the outstanding 2026 Unsecured Notes at 101.000%. On June 24, 2024, the 2026 Unsecured Notes were fully repaid and discharged. As of June 30, 2024, the 2026 Unsecured Notes were redeemed in full and satisfied and discharged.

Other. We may in the future use a combination of cash, secured or unsecured borrowings and issuances of our common units or other securities and the proceeds from asset sales to retire or refinance our outstanding debt or Series A Preferred Units through privately negotiated transactions, open market repurchases, redemptions, exchange offers, tender offers or otherwise, but we are under no obligation to do so. Any such transactions occurring prior to the August 1, 2024 Corporate Reorganization may produce allocations of taxable income to a unitholder with respect to such time period, such as gains on asset sales or income from cancellation of indebtedness, that would be large on a per-unit basis relative to the then trading price of our common units and were not, and will not be, accompanied by any corresponding distribution of cash to fund the payment of the resulting tax liability to the unitholder.

Capital Requirements

Overall.

Our business is capital intensive, requiring significant investment for the maintenance of existing gathering systems and the acquisition or construction and development of new gathering systems and other midstream assets and facilities. Our Partnership Agreement required that we categorize our capital expenditures as either:

•maintenance capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures (including expenditures for the addition or improvement to, or the replacement of, our capital assets or for the acquisition of existing, or the construction or development of, new capital assets) made to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity; or

•expansion capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long term.

In connection with the consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, the Partnership Agreement was amended to, among other things, reflect that all of the issued and outstanding limited partnership interests of the Partnership are held by Summit Midstream Corporation. For information on the Corporate Reorganization, see Note 16 – Subsequent Events.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash paid for capital expenditures totaled $26.9 million which included $6.3 million of maintenance capital expenditures. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we did not make any contributions to Ohio Gathering and we contributed $0.4 million to Double E.

We rely primarily on internally generated cash flows, our current cash balance as well as external financing sources, including commercial bank borrowings and the issuance of debt, equity and preferred equity securities, and proceeds from potential asset divestitures to fund our capital expenditures. We believe that our internally generated cash flows, current cash balance, our ABL Facility and the Permian Transmission Credit Facility, and access to debt or equity capital markets, will be adequate to finance our operations for the next twelve months without adversely impacting our liquidity. .

We estimate that our 2024 capital program will range from $30.0 million to $40.0 million, including between $10.0 million and $15.0 million of maintenance capital expenditures. We estimate that our 2024 investment in our Double E equity method investee will be approximately $5.0 million.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our current expectations to change, including, but not limited to, (i) the ability to reach agreements with third parties; (ii) prevailing conditions and outlook in the natural gas, crude oil and NGLs and markets, and (iii) our ability to obtain financing from commercial banks, the capital markets, or other financing sources.

Starting in the first quarter of 2023 with respect to the fiscal year ended 2022, and continuing annually through the fiscal year 2025, we were required under the terms of the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture to, if we have Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture), and subject to our ability to make such an offer under the ABL Facility, offer to purchase an amount of the 2026 Secured Notes, at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, equal to 100% of the Excess Cash Flow generated in the prior year. Excess Cash Flow is generally defined as consolidated cash flow minus the sum of capital expenditures and cash payments in respect of permitted investments and permitted restricted payments.

Table of Contents

Generally, if we did not offer to purchase designated annual amounts of our 2026 Secured Notes or reduce our first lien capacity under the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture per annum from 2023 through 2025, the interest rate on the 2026 Secured Notes is subject to certain rate escalations. Per the terms of the 2026 Secured Notes Indenture, the designated amounts are to offer to purchase $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Secured Notes by April 1, 2023, otherwise the interest rate shall automatically increase by 50 basis points per annum; $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Secured Notes by April 1, 2024, otherwise the interest rate shall automatically increase by 100 basis points per annum (minus any amount previously increased); and $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Secured Notes by April 1, 2025, otherwise the interest rate shall automatically increase by 200 basis points per annum (minus any amount previously increased).

Based on the amount of our Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year ended 2023, on March 27, 2024, we commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to $19.3 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Secured Notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. The cash flow offer expired on April 24, 2024 with $13.6 million tendered, validly accepted and fully discharged as of June 30, 2024.

For additional information, see Note 16 – Subsequent Events.

Credit and Counterparty Concentration Risks

We examine the creditworthiness of counterparties to whom we extend credit and manage our exposure to credit risk through credit analysis, credit approval, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and for certain transactions, we may request letters of credit, prepayments or guarantees.

Certain of our customers may be temporarily unable to meet their current obligations. While this may cause disruption to cash flows, we believe that we are properly positioned to deal with the potential disruption because the vast majority of our gathering assets are strategically positioned at the beginning of the midstream value chain. The majority of our infrastructure is connected directly to our customers’ wellheads and pad sites, which means our gathering systems are typically the first third-party infrastructure through which our customers’ commodities flow and, in many cases, the only way for our customers to get their production to market.

We have exposure due to nonperformance under our MVC contracts whereby a potential customer, may not have the wherewithal to make its MVC shortfall payments when they become due. We typically receive payment for all prior-year MVC shortfall billings in the quarter immediately following billing. Therefore, our exposure to risk of nonperformance is limited to and accumulates during the current year-to-date contracted measurement period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no material changes to the off-balance sheet obligations disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report.

Summarized Financial Information

The supplemental summarized financial information below reflects SMLP's separate accounts, the combined accounts of Summit Holdings and Finance Corp. (together, the “Co-Issuers”) and its guarantor subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries” and together with the Co-Issuers, the “Obligor Group”) for the dates and periods indicated. The financial information of the Obligor Group is presented on a combined basis and intercompany balances and transactions between the Co-Issuers and Guarantor Subsidiaries have been eliminated. There were no reportable transactions between the Co-Issuers and Obligor Group and the subsidiaries that were not issuers or guarantors of the Senior Notes.

Payments to holders of the Senior Notes are affected by the composition of and relationships among the Co-Issuers, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Permian Holdco and Summit Permian Transmission, both of which are unrestricted subsidiaries of SMLP and are not issuers or guarantors of the Senior Notes. The assets of our unrestricted subsidiaries are not available to satisfy the demands of the holders of the Senior Notes. In addition, our unrestricted subsidiaries are subject to certain contractual restrictions related to the payment of dividends, and other rights in favor of their non-affiliated stakeholders, that limit their ability to satisfy the demands of the holders of the Senior Notes.

On March 22, 2024, we completed the disposition of Summit Utica, to a subsidiary of MPLX LP. In connection with the disposition, the status of Summit Utica as guarantor subsidiary, was modified prior to the occurrence of the disposition.

Table of Contents

On May 1, 2024, we completed the sale of our Mountaineer Midstream system to Antero Midstream LLC. In connection with the sale, we designated Mountaineer Midstream Company, LLC as an unrestricted subsidiary, terminating its status as a guarantor subsidiary prior to the occurrence of the sale.

The summarized financial information below presents the activities and balances of Summit Utica and Mountaineer Midstream as guarantor subsidiaries for all summarized income statement periods and balance sheet dates presented in which they were owned by the Partnership. Summit Utica and Mountaineer Midstream are not included in the Partnership’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate risk exposure, which is largely related to our indebtedness, has not changed materially since December 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $814.2 million principal of fixed-rate debt, nil outstanding under our variable rate ABL Facility and $137.2 million outstanding under the variable rate Permian Transmission Term Loan (see Note 8 - Debt). As of June 30, 2024, we had $123.5 million of interest rate exposure hedged to offset the impact of changes in interest rates on our Permian Transmission Term Loan. While existing fixed-rate debt mitigates the downside impact of fluctuations in interest rates, future issuances of long-term debt could be impacted by increases in interest rates, which could result in higher overall interest costs. In addition, the borrowings under our ABL Facility, which have a variable interest rate, also expose us to the risk of increasing interest rates. For additional information, see the "Interest Rate Risk" section included in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of the 2023 Annual Report and updates to our risk factors included herein.

See Note 16 – Subsequent Events for additional information on our Refinancing Transactions.

Commodity Price Risk

We generate a majority of our revenues pursuant to primarily long-term and fee-based gathering agreements, many of which include MVCs and areas of mutual interest. Our direct commodity price exposure relates to (i) the sale of physical natural gas and/or NGLs purchased under percentage-of-proceeds and other processing arrangements with certain of our customers in the Rockies and Piceance segments, (ii) the sale of natural gas we retain from certain Barnett segment customers and (iii) the sale of condensate we retain from certain gathering services in the Piceance segment. Our gathering agreements with certain Barnett customers permit us to retain a certain quantity of natural gas that we sell to offset the power costs we incur to operate our electric-drive compression assets. We manage our direct exposure to natural gas and power prices through the use of forward power purchase contracts with wholesale power providers that require us to purchase a fixed quantity of power at a fixed heat rate based on prevailing natural gas prices on the Henry Hub Index. We sell retainage natural gas at prices that are based on the Atmos Zone 3 Index. By basing the power prices on a system and basin-relevant market, we are able to closely associate the relationship between the compression electricity expense and natural gas retainage sales. We do not enter into risk management contracts for speculative purposes. Our current commodity price risk exposure has not changed materially since December 31, 2023. For additional information, see the "Commodity Price Risk" section included in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk of the 2023 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Under the direction of our General Partner's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and concluded that (i) our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2024 and (ii) no change in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Although we may, from time to time, be involved in litigation and claims arising out of our operations in the ordinary course of business, we are not currently a party to any significant legal or governmental proceedings, except as described below. In addition, we are not aware of any significant legal or governmental proceedings contemplated to be brought against us, under the various environmental protection statutes to which we are subject.

Fiberspar Corporation. On May 3, 2022, Fiberspar Corporation (“Fiberspar”) filed a petition in the District Court of Harris County, Texas alleging, before costs and interest, over $5.0 million owed but not paid for orders of pipeline product from Fiberspar. The petition asserts causes of action for breach of contract and suit on sworn account. A civil action on the same claims had been filed by Fiberspar in 2016 but was dismissed without prejudice pursuant to a standstill and tolling agreement that expired in 2021. We filed an answer on September 6, 2022 denying Fiberspar’s claims and asserting counter claims. The case is pending in the District Court of Harris County, Texas. We are unable to predict the final outcome of this matter.

Global Settlement. On August 4, 2021, the Partnership and several of its subsidiaries entered into agreements to resolve government investigations into the previously disclosed 2015 Blacktail Release, from a pipeline owned and operated by Meadowlark Midstream, which at the time was a wholly owned subsidiary of Summit Investments (together with Meadowlark Midstream, the “Companies”). The Companies entered into the following agreements to resolve the U.S. federal and North Dakota state governments’ environmental claims against the Companies with respect to the 2015 Blacktail Release: (i) a Consent Decree with (a) the DOJ, on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Interior, and (b) the State of North Dakota, on behalf of the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality and the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, lodged with the U.S. District Court; (ii) a Plea Agreement with the United States, by and through the U.S. Attorney for the District of North Dakota, and the Environmental Crimes Section of the DOJ; and (iii) a Consent Agreement with the North Dakota Industrial Commission (together, the “Global Settlement”).

The Consent Decree provides for, among other requirements and subject to the conditions therein, (i) payment of total civil penalties and reimbursement of assessment costs of $21.25 million, with the federal portion of penalties payable over up to five years and the state portion of penalties payable over up to, for the federal and state civil amounts, six years and, for the federal criminal amounts, five years, with interest accruing at, for the federal and state civil amounts, a fixed rate of 3.25% and, for the federal criminal amounts, a variable rate set by statute; (ii) continuation of remediation efforts at the site of the 2015 Blacktail Release; (iii) other injunctive relief, including, but not limited to, control room management, an environmental management system audit, training, and reporting; and (iv) no admission of liability to the U.S. or North Dakota. The Consent Decree was entered by the U.S. District Court on September 28, 2021.

The Consent Agreement settles a complaint brought by the North Dakota Industrial Commission in an administrative action against the Companies for alleged violations of the North Dakota Administrative Code (“NDAC”) arising from the 2015 Blacktail Release on the following terms: (i) the Companies admit to three counts of violating the NDAC; (ii) the Companies agree to follow the terms and conditions of the Consent Decree, including payment of penalty and reimbursement amounts set forth in the Consent Decree; and (iii) specified conditions in the Consent Decree regarding operation and testing of certain existing produced water pipelines shall survive until those pipelines are properly abandoned.

Under the Plea Agreement, the Companies agreed to, among other requirements and subject to the conditions therein, (i) enter guilty pleas for one charge of negligent discharge of a harmful quantity of oil and one charge of knowing failure to immediately report a discharge of oil; (ii) sentencing that includes payment of a fine of $15.0 million plus mandatory special assessments over a period of up to five years with interest accruing at the federal statutory rate; (iii) organizational probation for a minimum period of three years from sentencing on December 6, 2021, which will include payment in full of certain components of the fines and penalty amounts; and (iv) compliance with the remedial measures in the Consent Decree.

On December 6, 2021, the U.S. District Court accepted the Plea Agreement. This Global Settlement resulted in losses amounting to $36.3 million and will be paid over five to six years, of which we have paid principal amounts of $14.7 million as of June 30, 2024.

Sage Natural Resources. In July 2022, the Partnership’s subsidiary DFW Midstream filed a petition in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas seeking payment, before costs and interest, of approximately $1.0 million in electric power costs for gathering services provided to Sage Natural Resources, LLC (“Sage”) in 2021-2022. On July 25, 2024, this matter was resolved with no material impact to the Partnership.
