Item 2. Results of Operations
Boardwalk Pipelines operates in the midstream portion of the natural gas and natural gas liquids, olefins and other hydrocarbons industry, providing transportation and storage for those commodities. Boardwalk Pipelines also provides ethane supply and transportation services for petrochemical customers in Louisiana and Texas and marketing of natural gas and related services throughout the United States of America (“U.S.”). A significant portion of Boardwalk Pipelines’ revenues is fee-based, being derived from capacity reservation charges under firm agreements with customers, which do not vary significantly period to period, but are impacted by longer term trends in its business such as changes in pricing on contract renewals and other factors as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The pricing contained in the purchase and sales agreements associated with Boardwalk Pipelines’ ethane supply services is generally based on the same ethane commodity index, plus a fixed delivery fee. As a result, except for possible timing differences that may occur when volumes are purchased in one month and sold in another month, Boardwalk Pipelines’ ethane supply services has little to no direct commodity price exposure. For further information on Boardwalk Pipelines’ revenue recognition policies see Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Boardwalk Pipelines’ operation and maintenance expenses are impacted by its compliance with the requirements of, among other regulations, pipeline integrity maintenance regulations and its efforts to monitor, control and reduce emissions, as further discussed in Results of Operations of our MD&A included under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The following table summarizes the results of operations for Boardwalk Pipelines for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, as presented in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included under Item 1 of this Report. Boardwalk Pipelines also utilizes a non-GAAP measure, earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as a financial measure to assess its operating and financial performance and return on invested capital. Management believes some investors may find this measure useful in evaluating Boardwalk Pipelines’ performance as EBITDA is a commonly used metric within the midstream industry.
