DT Midstream Inc

NOTE 1 —DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Description of the Business

DT Midstream is an owner, operator, and developer of an integrated portfolio of natural gas midstream assets. We provide multiple, integrated natural gas services to customers throughtwo segments: (i) Pipeline, which includes interstate pipelines, intrastate pipelines, storage systems, gathering lateral pipelines including related treatment plants and compression and surface facilities, and (ii) Gathering, which includes gathering systems, related treatment plants, and compression and surface facilities. Our 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 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.

Basis of Presentation

The DT Midstream Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared under GAAP. These accounting principles require management to use estimates and assumptions that impact reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from our estimates. We believe the assumptions underlying these financial statements are reasonable.

In DT Midstream's opinion, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present a fair statement of our financial position as of March 31, 2024, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, statement of changes in stockholders' equity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Financial results for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2024. The Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with DT Midstream's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in DT Midstream's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation

We consolidate all majority-owned subsidiaries and investments in entities in which we have a controlling influence. Non-controlled investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting when we are able to significantly influence the operating policies of the investee. When we do not influence the operating policies of an investee, the equity investment is measured at fair value, if readily determinable, or if not readily determinable, at cost less impairment, if applicable. We eliminate all intercompany balances and transactions.

We evaluate whether an entity is a VIE whenever reconsideration events occur. We consolidate VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary. When assessing the determination of the primary beneficiary, we consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including: the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb the expected losses and/or the right to receive the expected returns of the VIE. We perform ongoing reassessments of all VIEs to determine if the primary beneficiary status has changed.

We own an 85% interest in the Stonewall VIE and are the primary beneficiary, therefore Stonewall is consolidated. We own a 50% interest in the South Romeo VIE and are the primary beneficiary, therefore South Romeo is consolidated.

The following table summarizes the major line items in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position for consolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. All assets and liabilities of a consolidated VIE are included in the table when it has been determined that a consolidated VIE has either (1) assets that can be used only to settle obligations of the VIE or (2) liabilities for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiary. The assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs that meet the definition of a business and whose assets can be used for purposes other than the settlement of the VIEs' obligations have been excluded from the table below.

(a)Amounts shown are 100% of the consolidated VIEs' assets and liabilities.

Related Parties

Transactions between DT Midstream and our equity method investees have been presented as related party transactions in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements.

Equity Method Investments

Non-controlled investments are accounted for using the equity method of accounting when we are able to significantly influence the operating policies of the investee. Under the equity method of accounting, investments are recorded at historical cost as an asset and adjusted for capital contributions, dividends and distributions received, and our share of the investee's earnings or losses, which are recorded as earnings from equity method investees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Our equity method investments are periodically evaluated for certain factors that may be indicative of other-than-temporary impairment. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our carrying amounts of investments in equity method investees exceeded our share of the underlying equity in the net assets of the investees by $348 million and $352 million, respectively. The difference will be amortized over the life of the underlying assets. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our consolidated retained earnings balance did not have undistributed earnings from equity method investments. We use the cumulative earnings approach to classify proceeds received from equity method investees as dividends or distributions on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Equity method investees are described below:

The following table presents summarized financial information of our non-consolidated equity method investees. The amounts included below represent 100% of the results of continuing operations of such entities, including the portion owned by other parties.

Summarized income statement data is as follows:

NOTE 2 —SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks and highly liquid money market investments with remaining maturities of three months or less, when purchased. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

Financing Receivables

Financing receivables are primarily composed of trade accounts receivable and notes receivable, which are stated at net realizable value.

We regularly monitor the credit quality of our financing receivables by reviewing counterparty credit quality indicators and monitoring for triggering events, such as a credit rating downgrade or bankruptcy. We have three internal grades of credit quality, with internal grade 1 as the lowest risk and internal grade 3 as the highest risk. The related credit quality indicators and risk ratings utilized to develop the internal grades have been updated through March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Notes receivable — related party of $4 million, which originated prior to 2021, was classified as internal grade 1. There areno notes receivable on nonaccrual status andno past due financing receivables as of March 31, 2024.

For trade accounts receivable, the customer allowance for expected credit loss is calculated based on specific review of future collections based on receivable balances generally in excess of 30 days. Existing and future economic conditions, historical loss rates, customer trends and other relevant factors that may affect our ability to collect are also considered. Receivables are written off on a specific identification basis and determined based on the particular circumstances of the associated receivable. Uncollectible expense (recovery) waszero for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Our collections on accounts receivable from customers are current, and no material rate of historical loss was noted, which resulted inno allowance for expected credit loss as of March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023. Any balance would be shown as a deduction from the respective financing receivable's balance in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

Operation and Maintenance

Operation and maintenance is primarily comprised of costs for labor and employee benefits, outside services, materials, compression, purchased natural gas, operating lease costs, office costs, and other operating and maintenance costs.

NOTE 3 —NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Issued Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses and interim disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments improve transparency of income tax disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures of rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 4 —GOODWILL

We have goodwill that resulted from business combinations. The carrying value of goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the value of goodwill may be impaired. We performed our prior year annual impairment test as of October 1, 2023 and determined that the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and no impairment existed. No additions, impairments or other changes occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The following is the summary of the carrying value of goodwill:

While we believe the estimates and assumptions in the estimated fair value are reasonable, the actual results may differ from projections. To the extent projected results or cash flows are revised downward, the reporting unit may be required to write down all or a portion of its goodwill, which would adversely impact our earnings. If current expectations of future long-term growth are not met or market factors outside of our control change, such as U.S. Treasury Rates or declines in midstream industry transaction multiples, this may lead to a goodwill impairment in the future.

NOTE 5 —REVENUE

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following is a summary of revenues disaggregated by segment:

(a)Includes revenues outside the scope of ASC 606 primarily related to contracts accounted for as leases of $2 million and $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Nature of Services

We primarily provide two types of revenue services: firm service and interruptible service. Firm service revenue contracts provide 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. Firm service revenue contracts are typically long-term and structured using fixed demand charges or MVCs with fixed deficiency fee rates. Contracts structured using fixed demand charges contain a performance obligation of a stand-ready series of distinct services that are substantially the same with the same pattern of transfer to the customer, therefore revenue is recognized ratably over time. Contracts structured using MVCs with fixed deficiency fee rates require customers to transport or store a minimum volume of natural gas over a specified time period. If a customer fails to meet its MVCs for the specified time period, the contract consideration includes a fixed rate for the actual volumes gathered, transported or stored, and a deficiency fee for the shortfall between the MVCs and the actual volumes gathered, transported, or stored. If a customer exceeds its MVC for the specified time period, the contract consideration is based on fixed rates for the actual volumes gathered, transported, or stored. The contract consideration is allocated to each distinct monthly performance obligation, consistent with the allocation objective and based upon the level of effort required to satisfy the service obligation. Revenues are generally recognized over time based on the output measure of natural gas volumes gathered, transported, or stored, with the recognition of the deficiency fee revenue in the period when it is known the customer cannot make up the deficient volumes in the specified time period. Interruptible service revenue contracts typically contain fixed rates, with total consideration dependent on actual natural gas volumes that flow. Interruptible service revenues are recognized over time based on the output measure of natural gas volumes gathered, transported, or stored. Certain of our gathering contracts allow for the recovery of production-related operating expenses, which are offsetting in revenue and operating expense.

Contract Liabilities

The following is a summary of contract liability activity:

Contract liabilities generally represent amounts paid by or receivable from customers for which the associated performance obligation has not yet been satisfied. Contract liabilities associated with these services are recognized upon delivery of the service to the customer.

The following table presents contract liability amounts as of March 31, 2024 that are expected to be recognized as revenue in future periods:

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

In accordance with optional exemptions available under ASC 606, we do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (1) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (2) with the exception of fixed consideration, contracts for which the amount of revenue recognized depends upon our invoices for actual volumes gathered, transported, or stored, and (3) contracts for which variable consideration relates entirely to an unsatisfied performance obligation.

Such contracts consist of various types of performance obligations, including providing midstream services. Contracts with variable volumes and/or variable pricing, including those with pricing provisions tied to a consumer price or other index, have also been excluded as the related contract consideration is variable at the contract inception. Contract lengths vary from cancellable to multi-year.

The following table presents revenue amounts related to fixed consideration associated with unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2024 that are expected to be recognized as revenue in future periods:

Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract

We recognize an asset from the costs incurred to obtain a revenue contract only if we expect to recover those costs. In addition, the costs to fulfill a revenue contract are capitalized if the costs are specifically identifiable to a revenue contract, would result in enhancing resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future, and are expected to be recovered. These capitalized costs are amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of transfer of the services to which such costs relate.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had capitalized costs to obtain or fulfill a contract of $19 million and $18 million, respectively, which are included in other current assets and other noncurrent assets in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 we recognized approximately $1 million of amortization expense related to such capitalized costs.

NOTE 6 —EARNINGS PER SHARE AND DIVIDENDS

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing Net Income attributable to DT Midstream by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the dilution that would occur if any potentially dilutive instruments were exercised or converted into common shares, using the treasury stock method. Restricted stock units and performance share awards, including dividend equivalents on those grants, are potentially dilutive and, if dilutive, are included in the determination of weighted-average shares outstanding. Restricted stock units and performance share awards do not receive cash dividends, as such, these awards are not considered participating securities.

The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

We declared the following cash dividends:

NOTE 7 —INCOME TAXES

Effective Tax Rates

We record income taxes during the interim period using an estimated annual ETR and recognize specific events discretely as they occur.

The interim period ETRs of DT Midstream were 24% and 32% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The difference between the interim period ETR and federal statutory rate of 21% is primarily related to state income taxes. The decrease in the interim ETR for the comparative period is driven by the remeasurement of state deferred taxes recognized in 2023 due to changes in tax status and apportionment rates, resulting in a lower ETR in 2024.

NOTE 8 —FAIR VALUE

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in a principal or most advantageous market. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on inputs, which refer broadly to assumptions that market participants use in pricing assets or liabilities. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. We make certain assumptions we believe that market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities, including assumptions about risk, and the risks inherent in the inputs to valuation techniques. We believe we use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable market-based inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

A fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. All assets and liabilities are required to be classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Assessing the significance of a particular input may require judgment considering factors specific to the asset or liability and may affect the valuation of the asset or liability and its placement within the fair value hierarchy. We classify fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy defined as follows:

•Level 1 — Consists of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access as of the reporting date.

•Level 2 — Consists of inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the assets or liabilities or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

•Level 3 — Consists of unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using inputs that are generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best available information and subject to cost-benefit constraints.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table presents the carrying amount and fair value of financial instruments:

(a)Short-term borrowings and money market cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.

(b)Carrying value represents principal of $3,099 million, net of unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs.

NOTE 9 —DEBT

Long-Term Debt

The following is a summary of long-term debt:

(a) Interest payable semi-annually in arrears each June 15 and December 15.

(b) Interest payable semi-annually in arrears each April 15 and October 15.

(c) Variable rate is SOFR plus 2.11% for a one-month interest period as of March 31, 2024.

Short-Term Credit Arrangements and Borrowings

The following table presents the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility:

(a) The weighted average interest rate for Revolving Credit Facility borrowings outstanding was 6.68% as of March 31, 2024.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are used for general corporate purposes, acquisitions, and letter of credit issuances to support our operations and liquidity. Revolving Credit Facility related issuance and amendment costs, net of amortization, were $6 million as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. These costs are included in other noncurrent assets in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and are being amortized over the remaining term of the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Credit Agreement covering the Term Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility includes financial covenants that we must maintain. These covenants restrict the ability of DT Midstream and our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness, create or incur liens, engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of assets, make investments, acquisitions, loans or advances, pay dividends and distributions or repurchase capital stock, prepay, redeem or repurchase certain junior indebtedness, enter into agreements that limit the ability of the restricted subsidiaries to make distributions to DT Midstream or the ability of DT Midstream and our restricted subsidiaries to incur liens on assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates. The Term Loan Facility requires the maintenance of a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1, and the Revolving Credit Facility requires maintenance of (i) a maximum consolidated net leverage ratio of 5 to 1, and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of no less than 2.5 to 1. The debt service coverage ratio means the ratio of annual consolidated EBITDA to debt service, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The consolidated net leverage ratio means the ratio of net debt determined in accordance with GAAP to annual consolidated EBITDA. The interest coverage ratio means the ratio of annual consolidated EBITDA to annual interest expense, as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement definition of annual consolidated EBITDA excludes EBITDA from equity method investees, but includes dividends and distributions from equity method investees. As of March 31, 2024, the debt service coverage ratio, the consolidated net leverage ratio and the interest coverage ratio was 8.3 to 1,2.3 to 1 and 7.9 to 1, respectively, and we were in compliance with these financial covenants.

NOTE 10 —COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, we are subject to legal, administrative and environmental proceedings before various courts, arbitration panels and governmental agencies concerning claims arising in the ordinary course of business. These proceedings include certain contract disputes, additional environmental reviews and investigations, audits and pending judicial matters. We cannot predict the final disposition of such proceedings. We regularly review legal matters and records provisions for claims that we can estimate and are considered probable of loss. The amount or range of reasonably possible losses is not anticipated to, either individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Guarantees

In certain limited circumstances, we enter into contractual guarantees. We may guarantee another entity's obligation in the event it fails to perform and may provide guarantees in certain indemnification agreements. We did not have any guarantees of other parties' obligations as of March 31, 2024.

Surety Bonds

In certain limited circumstances, we enter into contracts that require us to obtain external surety bonds to secure our payment and performance. We agree to indemnify the issuers of these surety bonds for amounts, if any, paid by them under these agreements. In the event that any surety bonds are called for non-performance, we would be obligated to reimburse the issuer of the surety bond. The maximum potential indemnification under our surety bond agreements as of March 31, 2024 is $31 million.

Vector Line of Credit

We are the lender under a revolving term credit facility to Vector, the borrower, in the amount of Canadian $70 million. The credit facility was executed in response to the passage of Canadian regulations requiring oil and gas pipelines to demonstrate their financial ability to respond to a catastrophic event and exists for the sole purpose of satisfying these regulations. Vector may only draw upon the facility if the funds are required to respond to a catastrophic event. The maximum potential payout as of March 31, 2024 is USD $52 million. The funding of a loan under the terms of the revolving term credit facility is considered remote.

Contingent Liability

In order to comply with certain state environmental regulations, we have an obligation to restore pipeline right-of-way slope failures that may arise in the ordinary course of business in the Utica and Marcellus formations. We conduct evaluations, which are prioritized based on the severity and proximity of remaining locations, and use updated cost information to assess the adequacy of the estimate for the contingent liability accrual. As of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had accrued contingent liabilities of $13 million for future slope restoration expenditures. The accrual is included in other current liabilities and other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. While restoration and continued evaluation is ongoing, we believe the accrued amounts are sufficient to cover estimated future expenditures.

NOTE 11 —SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

We set strategic goals, allocate resources, and evaluate performance based on the following structure:

The Pipeline segment owns and operates interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines, storage systems, and natural gas gathering lateral pipelines. The segment also has interests in equity method investees that own and operate interstate natural gas pipelines. The Pipeline segment is also engaged in the transportation and storage of natural gas for intermediate and end user customers.

The Gathering segment owns and operates gas gathering systems. The segment is engaged in collecting natural gas from points at or near customers’ wells for delivery to plants for treating, to gathering pipelines for further gathering, or to pipelines for transportation, as well as associated ancillary services, including compression, dehydration, gas treatment, water impoundment, water transportation, water disposal, and sand mining.

Inter-segment billing for goods and services exchanged between segments is based upon contracted prices of the provider. Inter-segment billings were not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The following tables present financial data by business segment:

NOTE 12 —SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Dividend Declaration

On April 30, 2024, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.735 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable to our stockholders of record as of June 17, 2024 and is expected to be paid on July 15, 2024.
