Business Overview

We are an owner, operator, and developer of an integrated portfolio of natural gas midstream assets. We provide multiple, integrated natural gas services to customers through our interstate pipelines, intrastate pipelines, storage systems, lateral pipelines including related treatment plants and compression and surface facilities, and gathering systems including related treatment plants, and compression and surface facilities. We also own joint venture interests in equity method investees which own and operate interstate pipelines that connect to our wholly owned assets.

Our core assets strategically connect key demand centers in the Midwestern U.S., Eastern Canada and Northeastern U.S. regions to the premium production areas of the Marcellus/Utica natural gas formation in the Appalachian Basin and connect key demand centers and LNG export terminals in the Gulf Coast region to premium production areas of the Haynesville natural gas formation.

We have an established history of stable, long-term growth with contractual cash flows from customers that include natural gas producers, local distribution companies, electric power generators, industrials, and national marketers.

We believe that our properties are generally in good condition, well-maintained and suitable and adequate to carry on our business at capacity for the foreseeable future.

Our Strategy

Our principal business objective is to safely and reliably operate and develop natural gas assets across our premier footprint. Our proven leadership and highly engaged employees have an excellent track record. Prospectively, we intend to continue this track record by executing on our natural gas-centric business strategy focused on disciplined capital deployment and supported by a flexible, well capitalized balance sheet. Additionally, we intend to develop low carbon business opportunities and deploy GHG reducing technologies as part of our goal of being leading environmental stewards in the midstream industry. We are executing on a plan to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Our strategy is premised on the following principles:

Operate our assets in a sustainable and responsible manner. We believe that consistently serving our communities, customers, team members, and stakeholders is foundational.

Provide exceptional service to our customers. We will continue to provide safe, highly reliable, timely and cost-competitive service, which is a key distinguishing competitive advantage.

Disciplined capital deployment in assets supported by strong fundamentals. New capital spending will continue to go through a rigorous review process to ensure that it is accretive and deployed to assets serving high quality, low cost resources with proximity to strong demand centers, meeting our strategic criteria and expected returns.

Capitalize on asset integration and utilization opportunities. We intend to leverage the scale and scope of our large asset platforms, our services, and our capabilities to increase efficiency across our portfolio and in the strategically situated natural gas basins in which we operate.

Pursue economically attractive opportunities. We intend to pursue economically attractive expansion opportunities that leverage our current asset footprint and strategic relationships with our customers.

Grow cash flows supported by long-term firm service revenue contracts. We will continue pursuing opportunities that increase the demand-based component of our contract portfolio and will focus on obtaining additional long-term firm service commitments from customers, which may include fixed demand charges, MVCs and acreage dedications.

Our Operations and Business Segments

DT Midstream sets strategic goals, allocates resources, and evaluates performance based on the following two segments: Pipeline and Gathering. For financial information by segment for the last three years, see Note 14, "Segment and Related Information," to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Part II, Item 8 of this Form 10-K.

Southwestern Energy accounted for approximately 60% of our operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our operating revenues do not include revenues of unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for as equity method investments.

Pipeline Segment

Description

Our Pipeline segment includes our interstate pipelines, intrastate pipelines, storage systems, lateral pipelines including related treatment plants and compression and surface facilities. The Pipeline segment also includes joint venture interests in equity method investees which own and operate interstate pipelines that connect to our wholly owned assets. Our subsidiary companies own and operate these types of assets across multiple states and eastern Canada.

Our interstate pipelines are FERC-regulated assets that transport natural gas from interconnected pipelines to power plants, local distribution companies and industrial end users, as well as interconnected pipelines for delivery to additional markets. Our intrastate pipelines are typically state-regulated assets that transport natural gas from interconnected pipelines to power plants, local distribution companies and industrial end users. Our lateral pipelines are assets that gather natural gas for our customers from multiple central delivery points within a basin and redeliver that natural gas to interstate pipelines, intrastate pipelines, and LNG export terminals for further downstream transportation and, accordingly, perform a gathering function not subject to FERC jurisdiction. Our storage systems provide natural gas storage services for customers, subject to FERC jurisdiction.

Revenues and Earnings from Equity Method Investees

DT Midstream primarily provides two types of pipeline and storage services: firm service and interruptible service. Firm service revenue contracts are typically long-term and structured using fixed demand charges or MVCs with fixed deficiency fee rates. This provides for fixed revenue commitments regardless of actual volumes of natural gas that flow, which leads to more stable operating performance, revenues and cash flows and limits our exposure to natural gas price fluctuations. For the year ended December 31, 2023, approximately 84% of our Pipeline revenue was generated under firm service revenue contracts and approximately 95% of the revenue of our unconsolidated joint ventures was generated under firm service revenue contracts. The earnings of our unconsolidated joint ventures are included in earnings from equity method investees in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interruptible service revenue contracts typically contain fixed rates, with total consideration dependent on actual natural gas volumes that flow.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, revenue from the Pipeline segment accounted for approximately 41% of our consolidated revenue. The cash flows from our Pipeline operations can be impacted in the short term by seasonality, weather fluctuations and the financial condition of our customers.

Competition

Our Pipeline operations compete for customers primarily based on geographic location, which determines connectivity and proximity to supply sources and end users, as well as price, operating reliability and flexibility, available capacity, and service offerings. Our primary competitors in the natural gas interstate pipelines and transmission market and in the lateral pipelines market include major interstate pipelines and midstream companies that can transport and gather natural gas volumes between interstate systems and between central delivery points within a basin, respectively.
