Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. Words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“forecast,” “guidance,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “intend,” “project,” “plan,” “predict,” “will,” “target” and similar expressions identify forward-looking
statements, which are not historical in nature. Our forward-looking statements may include, without limitation: our future financial and operational results; our
business strategy; our industry; our expected revenues; our future profitability; our maintenance or expansion projects; our projected budget and capital expenditures
and the impact of such expenditures on our performance; and future economic and market conditions in the oil and gas industry. The presentation contains our
guidance. Our forecasts and expectations are dependent upon many assumptions, many of which are uncertain and beyond our control. The presentation also
contains operational guidance from Hess Corporation, which are not estimates of our management and are subject to numerous risks and assumptions, all of which
are beyond our control.
Forward-looking statements are based on our current understanding, assessments, estimates and projections of relevant factors and reasonable assumptions about
the future. Forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our
historical experience and our current projections or expectations of future results expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The following important
factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in our forward-looking statements: the direct and indirect effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic
and other public health developments on our business and those of our business partners, suppliers and customers, including Hess Corporation (“Hess”); the ability
of Hess and other parties to satisfy their obligations to us, including Hess’ ability to meet its drilling and development plans on a timely basis or at all and the
operation of joint ventures that we may not control; our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to pay current and expected levels of distributions; reductions in the
volumes of crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and produced water we gather, process, terminal or store; fluctuations in the prices and demand for
crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, including as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic; changes in global economic conditions and the effects of a global economic
downturn on our business and the business of our suppliers, customers, business partners and lenders; our ability to comply with government regulations or make
capital expenditures required to maintain compliance, including our ability to obtain or maintain permits necessary for capital projects in a timely manner, if at all, or
the revocation or modification of existing permits; our ability to successfully identify, evaluate and timely execute our capital projects, investment opportunities and
growth strategies, whether through organic growth or acquisitions; costs or liabilities associated with federal, state and local laws, regulations and governmental
actions applicable to our business, including legislation and regulatory initiatives relating to environmental protection and safety, such as spills, releases, pipeline
integrity and measures to limit greenhouse gas emissions; our ability to comply with the terms of our credit facility, indebtedness and other financing arrangements,
which, if accelerated, we may not be able to repay; reduced demand for our midstream services, including the impact of weather or the availability of the competing
third-party midstream gathering, processing and transportation operations; potential disruption or interruption of our business due to catastrophic events, such as
accidents, severe weather events, labor disputes, information technology failures, constraints or disruptions and cyber-attacks; any limitations on our ability to
access debt or capital markets on terms that we deem acceptable, including as a result of weakness in the oil and gas industry or negative outcomes within
commodity and financial markets; liability resulting from litigation; and other factors described in Item 1A—Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and any
additional risks described in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
As and when made, we believe that our forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, given these risks and uncertainties, caution should be taken not to
place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements since such statements speak only as of the date when made and there can be no assurance that such
forward-looking statements will occur and actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement we make. Except as required by
law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Measures
This document includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC Regulation G. A reconciliation of those measures to our most directly
comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is provided in the appendix to this presentation. Certain Adjusted EBITDA
forecasts were determined on an Adjusted EBITDA-only basis. Accordingly, information related to the elements of net income, including taxes and interest, are not
available and, therefore, reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest GAAP financial measures have not been provided.

Reconciliation to GAAP Metrics
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization and our proportional share of depreciation of our equity
affiliates, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, such as transaction costs, other income and other
non-cash, non-recurring items, if applicable. We define Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less capital expenditures, excluding acquisition capital expenditures. We define Distributable Cash
Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less net interest, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs, cash paid for federal and state income taxes and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable
cash flow does not reflect changes in working capital balances. Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Distributable Cash Flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management
and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:
• our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of Adjusted EBITDA,
financing methods;
• the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our shareholders;
• our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and
• the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.
We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and distributable cash flow provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of
operations. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and distributable cash flow are net income (loss) and net cash provided by (used in) operating
activities. Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and distributable cash flow should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, net cash provided by
(used in) operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and distributable cash flow have
important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA,
free cash flow or distributable cash flow in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, because Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and distributable
cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Free Cash Flows to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for each of
the periods indicated.
