Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS, AND PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION
Organization. Summit Midstream Corporation (including its subsidiaries, collectively the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 14, 2024, for the purpose of effecting the reorganization (the “Corporate Reorganization”) of Summit Midstream Partners, LP, a Delaware master limited partnership (“SMLP”), in which the Company was incorporated to serve as the new parent holding company of SMLP. The Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“common stock”), is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “SMC.” For all periods presented, the Company has operated in an Up-C tax structure, with the Company owning SMLP alongside holders of a noncontrolling limited partnership interest.
The Company is a value-oriented company focused on developing, owning, and operating midstream energy infrastructure assets that are strategically located in the core producing areas of unconventional resource basins, primarily shale formations in the continental U.S. The Company’s business activities are primarily conducted through various operating subsidiaries, each of which is owned or controlled by its subsidiary holding company, Summit Midstream Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Summit Holdings”).
Business Operations. The Company 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 Company also provides freshwater delivery services pursuant to short-term agreements with customers. The Company’s results are primarily driven by the volumes of natural gas that it transports, gathers, compresses, treats, and/or processes as well as by the volumes of crude oil and produced water that it gathers.
Presentation and Consolidation. The Company 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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”).
The Company 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 management’s estimates.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Company. 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.
- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO THE COMPANY
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes, as required, under ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASC 740”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applied to taxable income in the relevant years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in net income or loss in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
For transactions with shareholders, the tax effects of changes in the tax bases of assets and liabilities caused by transactions among or with shareholders are included in equity under the caption “Tax impact of Up-C Structure” in accordance with GAAP and reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of equity as an increase or decrease to equity.
The Company records income tax balances in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) it determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and, (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. For tax positions which do not meet the more-likely-than-not threshold, the Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740.
New Accounting Standards Not Yet Implemented. ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 is intended to improve expense disclosures, primarily by requiring disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items on an annual and interim basis. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in fiscal year 2027 and for interim periods beginning in fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The updates required by this standard should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (“ASU 2025-11”) which is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, interim disclosures requirements, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
- ACQUISITION
Moonrise Acquisition. On March 10, 2025, the Company completed the transaction contemplated in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 10, 2025, by and among the Company, Summit Holdings, Fundare Resources Company HoldCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Fundare”), and solely for purposes of Section 9.19 thereto, Fundare Resources Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to which Fundare contributed all of its equity interests in Moonrise Midstream, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Moonrise”), to Summit Holdings in exchange for total consideration equal to approximately $90.0 million (the “Moonrise Acquisition”). Total consideration consisted of (i) a $70.0 million cash payment and (ii) the issuance of 462,265 shares of common stock of the Company.
The fair values of certain assets and liabilities, including property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets required the use of significant judgments and estimates.
The following table sets forth the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date.
| Moonrise Purchase Price Allocation (in thousands): | |
|---|---|
| Total consideration paid for Moonrise (1) | $89,771 |
| Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: | |
| Cash | 1,879 |
| Accounts receivable | 3,482 |
| Property, plant and equipment, net | 74,328 |
| Intangibles | 13,114 |
| Other assets | 758 |
| Trade accounts payable, accrued expenses and other | (3,790) |
| Net assets acquired and liabilities assumed | $89,771 |
(1)Purchase price consideration includes $17.9 million of equity consideration (462,265 shares valued at $38.71 per share on March 10, 2025) as well as $1.9 million of cash acquired.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition. Acquired working capital amounts are expected to approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of acquired equipment and intangible assets are based on both available market data and cost and income approaches. These methods are considered Level 3 fair value estimates and include significant assumptions of future gathering and processing volumes, commodity prices, and operating and capital cost estimates, discounted using weighted average cost of capital.
Intangible assets acquired consist of rights-of-way with a weighted average amortization period of approximately 30 years.
Pro Forma Information (Unaudited). The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information of the Company as if the Moonrise Acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2025:
| Six Months EndedJune 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Revenues | $276,893 |
| Net income (loss) | $(392) |
The unaudited pro forma information is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the Moonrise Acquisition been completed at January 1, 2025, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results. Subsequent to the Moonrise Acquisition, during the second quarter of 2025, the Company integrated the Moonrise assets within its Niobrara G&P system. As a result of the integration, it is impractical to disclose the amounts of revenues and earnings that the Moonrise Acquisition contributed to the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations during subsequent reporting periods.

Amended and Restated ABL Facility. Concurrently with the issuance of the 2029 Secured Notes, as discussed below, on July 26, 2024, Summit Holdings, as borrower, amended and restated its existing first-lien, senior secured credit agreement pursuant to the Amended and Restated ABL Agreement, 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 certain of 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. As of June 30, 2026, the most recent borrowing base determination of eligible assets totaled $798.3 million, an amount greater than the $500.0 million of aggregate lending commitments.
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 Secured 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 Amended and Restated 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 Amended and Restated 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 result of Liquidity (as defined in the Amended and Restated ABL Agreement) 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”). As of June 30, 2026, the Amended and Restated ABL Facility will mature on July 26, 2029.
Borrowings under the Amended and Restated ABL Facility 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 Amended and Restated ABL Agreement consistent with the Amended and Restated ABL Facility). The applicable margin for base rate loans varies from 1.50% to 2.25% and the applicable margin for SOFR-based loans varies from 2.50% to 3.25%, in each case, depending on our Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated ABL Agreement).
The Amended and Restated ABL Facility (together with certain Secured Bank Product Obligations (as defined in the Amended and Restated ABL Agreement)) is jointly and severally guaranteed, on a senior first-priority secured basis (subject to permitted liens), by SMLP, 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 Amended and Restated 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 Amended and Restated 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 Amended and Restated ABL Agreement) as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to be less than 2.00:1.00. As of June 30, 2026, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated ABL Agreement) was 0.29:1.00 and the Interest Coverage Ratio was 2.73:1.00. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Amended and Restated ABL Facility.
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 Amended and Restated ABL Agreement) will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice and all Commitments (as defined in the Amended and Restated ABL Agreement) under the Amended and Restated ABL Facility will terminate.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated ABL Agreement, the obligations (as defined in the Amended and Restated ABL Agreement) are 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 Amended and Restated 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 Company, (iii) Closing Date Material Gathering Station Real Property and Closing Date Pipeline Material Gathering Station Real Property (each, as defined in the Amended and Restated 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 Amended and Restated ABL Agreement, and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing collateral.
As of June 30, 2026, the applicable margin under the adjusted SOFR borrowings was 2.750%, the interest rate was 6.49%, and the total available borrowing capacity totaled $418.3 million, after giving effect to the issuance of $2.7 million in outstanding but undrawn irrevocable standby letters of credit.
Intercreditor Agreement. On November 2, 2021, Summit Holdings and the other guarantors party thereto entered into an Intercreditor Agreement (as modified by the Notice of Reaffirmation (as defined below), 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, pursuant to that certain Notice and Reaffirmation of Intercreditor Agreement (the “Notice of Reaffirmation”), dated as of July 26, 2024, 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 2029 Secured Notes.
New Permian Transmission Facility. On March 16, 2026, SMC’s unrestricted subsidiary, Summit Permian Transmission, entered into a $440.0 million refinancing of the Legacy Permian Transmission Credit Facilities in the form of the New Permian Transmission Facility bearing interest at SOFR plus 4.00% per annum and with a maturity in March 2031 (the “New Permian
Transmission Facility”). The New Permian Transmission Facility consists of $340.0 million in initial term loan commitments, $50.0 million in delayed draw commitments (with a commitment fee of 1.00% per annum) and a $50.0 million uncommitted incremental facility. In accordance with the terms of the New Permian Transmission Facility, Summit Permian Transmission is required to make mandatory quarterly principal repayments in the amount of 0.25% of the principal amount outstanding on each quarterly payment date beginning March 31, 2027.
The New Permian Transmission Facility is used to finance Summit Permian Transmission’s capital calls associated with its investment in Double E, debt service and for other general corporate purposes. Generally, unexpended proceeds from draws on the New Permian Transmission Facility are classified as restricted cash on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets until such time Summit Permian Transmission’s total debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined, ratio is less than 6.00:1.00.
As of June 30, 2026, the applicable margin under the adjusted term SOFR borrowings was 4.000% and the average interest rate was 7.70%. The available committed portion of the New Permian Transmission Facility totaled $40.0 million and is subject to a commitment fee of 1.0%. As of June 30, 2026, Summit Permian Transmission has outstanding letters of credit aggregating to $7.0 million.
Summit Permian Transmission entered into interest rate hedges with notional amounts representing approximately 30% of the New Permian Transmission Facility at a fixed SOFR-based rate of 3.65%. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the New Permian Transmission Facility.
Legacy Permian Transmission Credit Facilities. On March 8, 2021, SMLP’s unrestricted subsidiary, Summit Permian Transmission, entered into a Credit Agreement which allowed for $175.0 million of senior secured credit facilities (the “Legacy Permian Transmission Credit Facilities”), including a $160.0 million Term Loan Facility and a $15.0 million working capital facility. On March 16, 2026, Summit Permian Transmission refinanced the Legacy Permian Transmission Credit Facilities and all amounts previously outstanding were paid in full.
Legacy Permian Transmission Term Loan. In accordance with the terms of the Legacy Permian Transmission Credit Facilities, in January 2022, the Permian Term Loan Facility was converted into a Term Loan (the “Legacy Permian Transmission Term Loan”). The Legacy Permian Transmission Term Loan was due January 2028.

2029 Secured 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 Secured Notes”). The 2029 Secured 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 Restated ABL Facility. On January 10, 2025, Summit Holdings issued an additional $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Secured Notes, at a price of 103.375% of their face value, as additional notes under the same indenture pursuant to which, on July 26, 2024, Summit Holdings issued $575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2029 Secured Notes. As of June 30, 2026, $825.0 million of the 2029 Secured Notes were outstanding.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the indenture governing the 2029 Secured Notes.
- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Matters. Although the Company 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 Company can provide no assurances that significant environmental remediation costs and liabilities will not be incurred in the future. The Company is currently not aware of any material contingent liabilities that exist with respect to environmental matters, except as noted below.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company 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, 2027. Each of these amounts represent the Company’s best estimate for costs expected to be incurred. Neither of these amounts has been discounted to present value.
An update of the Company’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.

In 2015, SMLP 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 SMLP 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the accrued loss liability for the 2015 Blacktail Release was $8.3 million and is recorded within accrued settlement payable on the 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 $8.3 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 ofthree 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 Company are also participating intwo 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 toone 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. SMLP and certain subsidiaries of the Company 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 SMLP has responded, and in which proceeding no further developments have occurred.
Legal Proceedings. The Company 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 Company’s financial position or results of operations. When a liability is covered by insurance, the Company reports the gross liability for the loss and a separate asset for the estimate of the probable amount recoverable from the insurance company.
- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair Value. A summary of the estimated fair value of our debt financial instruments follow:
| June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CarryingValue (1) | Estimatedfair value(Level 2) | CarryingValue (1) | Estimatedfair value(Level 2) | |

(1)Excludes applicable unamortized debt issuance costs, debt discounts, and debt premiums.
The carrying values on the balance sheets of the Amended and Restated ABL Facility, the New Permian Transmission Facility, and the Legacy Permian Transmission Term Loan represent their fair value due to their floating interest rates. The fair value of the 2029 Secured Notes is based on an average of nonbinding broker quotes as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on their estimated fair value.
Related Party - Tall Oak Deferred Earn-Out. In connection with the Tall Oak Acquisition in 2024, the Company recognized a deferred earn-out liability to Tall Oak Parent, a related party. On March 31, 2026, the deferred earn-out was settled with Tall Oak Parent in full, with Tall Oak Parent receiving a cash payment of $22.0 million. As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the deferred earn-out was $21.5 million and was reflected within other current liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a $0.5 million loss and an $8.5 million gain on the fair value remeasurement of the Tall Oak deferred earn-out, respectively. (See Note 10 - Financial Instrumentsfor additional information.)
The estimated fair value of the Company’s deferred earn-out was remeasured at each reporting period and estimated using discounted cash flow techniques with appropriate discount rates. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the fair value measurement of the deferred earn-out was deemed to use Level 3 inputs.
Interest Rate Swaps. For both the New Permian Transmission Facility and the Legacy Permian Transmission Term Loan, the Company entered into amortizing interest rate swap agreements. 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 Company’s variable rate debt to fixed rate debt, and the Company chooses counterparties for its derivative instruments that it believes are creditworthy at the time the transactions are entered into. However, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to the Company. The Company presents its derivative positions on a gross basis and does not net the asset and liability positions.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding notional amounts of interest rate swaps was $100.0 million and $101.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s interest rate swap agreement was in an asset position and had a fair value of $0.6 million and is recorded within other noncurrent assets within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, the Company’s interest rate swap agreements had a fair value of $6.6 million and is recorded within other noncurrent assets within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The derivative instruments’ fair value are determined using level 2 inputs from the fair value hierarchy.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a gain on interest rate swaps of $0.9 million and a loss of $0.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a gain of $0.8 million and a loss of $1.5 million, respectively.
In connection with the 2026 refinancing of the Legacy Permian Transmission Term Loan, the Company settled its then outstanding amortizing interest rate swap agreements for $6.7 million in cash.

Share Repurchase Program. In June 2026, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program to repurchase up to $35.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program, repurchases of shares of the Company’s common stock may be made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, block purchases, or otherwise, including through a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The timing and amount of any repurchases will be determined by management at its discretion based on a variety of factors, including business and market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, compliance with debt covenants, and certain other considerations. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, has no fixed expiration date, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company has repurchased 34,624 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million, excluding applicable excise taxes, under the Share Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2026, approximately $34.0 million remained available for future repurchases.

Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to (i) shares of common stock and Class B Common Stock and (ii) each other class or series of company interests or other equity securities in the Company that may be established in the future that expressly ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and amounts payable upon a liquidation event. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks equal in all respects with each class or series of company interests or other equity securities in the Company that may be established in the future that is not expressly made senior or subordinated to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and amounts payable on a liquidation event. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks junior to (i) all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against the Company and (ii) each other class or series of company interests or other equity securities in the Company established in the future that is expressly made senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and amounts payable upon a liquidation event.

Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units. Until March 2026, Summit Permian Transmission Holdco, LLC (“Permian Holdco”) had Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (“Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units”) that ranked senior to each other class or series of limited liability company interests or other equity securities in Permian Holdco that may be established in the future that expressly ranks junior to the Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units as to the payment of distributions and amounts payable upon a liquidation event. The Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units ranked equal in all respects with each class or series of limited liability company interests or other equity securities in Permian Holdco that may be established in the future that is not expressly made senior or subordinated to the Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units as to the payment of distributions and amounts payable on a liquidation event. The Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units ranked junior to (i) all of Permian Holdco’s or a subsidiary of Permian Holdco’s future indebtedness and other liabilities with respect to assets available to satisfy claims against Permian Holdco and (ii) each other class or series of limited liability company interests or other equity securities in Permian Holdco established in the future that is expressly made senior to the Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units as to the payment of distributions and amounts payable upon a liquidation event. Income is allocated to the Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units in an amount equal to the earned distributions for the respective reporting period.
In March 2026, the Company redeemed in full, all outstanding Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units. The following table shows the change in the Company’s Subsidiary Series A Preferred Unit balance from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026, net of $0.6 million of unamortized issuance costs as of December 31, 2025:

Noncontrolling interest. Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of net assets in the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries that are not wholly owned by the Company. The Company’s noncontrolling interest is recorded at carrying value and is reported as a component of equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s noncontrolling interest is approximately 32% of the net assets of SMLP. The noncontrolling interest will be adjusted in the future for (i) any net income or loss generated by SMLP, and (ii) any equity shifts resulting from the issuance of common stock in connection with the SMC LTIP, or certain changes to SMLP’s capital accounts.
The following table shows the changes in noncontrolling interest during the periods presented:
| NoncontrollingInterest | |
|---|---|
| (In thousands) | |
| Balance, December 31, 2025 | $400,376 |
| Net loss | (1,821) |
| Equity shift | (78,064) |
| Balance as of June 30, 2026 | $320,491 |
Equity shift - Change in Ownership of Consolidated Subsidiary. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company had an equity shift and its noncontrolling interest was reduced by $78.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company increased its ownership of SMLP as a result of certain Partnership Common Unit issuances resulting from SMC LTIP vesting events and the Company’s related party share issuance, partially offset by the repurchase and redemption of SMC shares under the Share Repurchase Program. The result of these equity transactions was an increase of the Company’s ownership percentage of SMLP and a corresponding decrease of the ownership percentage of SMLP held by the noncontrolling interest owner.
Dividend Policy. In March 2020, SMLP suspended 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 consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, all accumulated and unpaid distributions on the Series A Preferred Units were deemed by the Series A Certificate of Designation to be Series A Unpaid Cash Dividends (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation) per share of Series A Preferred Stock, and any rights to accumulated and unpaid distributions on such Series A Preferred Units were discharged. Because the Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividend rights, any accrued dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock must first be paid prior to the initiation of dividends to holders of the Company’s common stock. As mentioned above, during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company resumed distributions on its Series A Preferred Stock. Further, in March 2026, the Company repaid accrued and unpaid dividends on its Series A Preferred Stock, including the $46.3 million for accrued and unpaid dividends owed from March 15, 2020 to December 14, 2024.
Absent a material change to the Company’s business, the Company does not expect to pay dividends to holders of the Company’s common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future dividend payments will depend on the Company’s financial condition, market conditions and other matters deemed relevant by the Board of Directors. Additionally, the Company’s ability to pay dividends is subject to restrictions on dividends under the Amended and Restated ABL Facility, Series A Preferred Stock and the indenture governing the 2029 Senior Notes.

- EQUITY COMPENSATION
SMC Long-Term Incentive Plan. In connection with the consummation of the Corporate Reorganization, the Company assumed SMLP’s 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended by the First Amendment, effective as of March 16, 2022 (the “SMLP LTIP”), and all the obligations of SMLP thereunder. The SMLP LTIP units were exchanged on a one-for-one basis with equivalent terms. In connection with the assumption of the SMLP LTIP and the Corporate Reorganization, the Board of Directors approved the amendment and restatement of the SMLP LTIP, with such amendment and restatement effective as of August 1, 2024 (such amended and restated plan, the Summit Midstream Corporation 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “SMC LTIP”)). The SMC LTIP authorizes the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, to grant awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and other awards related to the Company’s common stock upon such terms and conditions as it may determine appropriate and in accordance with the terms of the SMC LTIP.
Significant items to note:
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted 177,854 shares of time-based restricted stock and associated dividend equivalent rights to employees in connection with the Company’s annual incentive compensation award cycle. The grant date fair value of these awards totaled $5.4 million and the awards generally vest ratably over athree-year period.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted 120,283 shares of performance-based restricted stock and associated dividend equivalent rights to certain members of management in connection with the Company’s annual incentive compensation award cycle. The grant date fair value of these awards totaled $4.6 million and the awards vest at the end ofthree years.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the Company issued 22,398 shares of common stock tosix independent directors in connection with their annual compensation plan. The grant date fair value of these awards totaled $0.7 million and became fully vested at the grant date.
On May 7, 2026, the Company’s stockholders approved Amendment No. 1 to the SMC LTIP, which increased the number of shares of common stock that may be delivered with respect to awards granted under the SMC LTIP by 424,000 shares of common stock.
As of June 30, 2026, approximately 0.7 million shares of common stock remained available for future issuance under the SMC LTIP, which includes the impact of 0.7 million granted but unvested restricted stock and performance-based awards, assuming the performance-based awards are settled with a 100% target payout.
- INCOME TAXES
Summit Midstream Corporation’s effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was 4.51% and 912.00%, respectively. Summit Midstream Corporation’s effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was different from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21% primarily due to the net income allocated to the noncontrolling interest, tax benefits related to stock-based compensation, and nondeductible executive compensation.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, and when necessary, valuation allowances are provided. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. SMC assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets quarterly and considers carryback availability, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. No valuation allowance has been recognized as of June 30, 2026.
- SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company’s operating segments, which are equivalent to our reportable segments, have been identified based on their geographic location and reflect how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) assesses performance and allocates resources. The Company’s CODM, which is its Chief Executive Officer, primarily utilizes segment adjusted EBITDA as the key indicator in assessing the segment’s performance and allocating resources. Segment adjusted EBITDA is primarily used in the budgeting and forecasting process and the CODM regularly considers budget-to-actual variances when evaluating the performance of each segment and making decisions on the allocation of operating and capital resources to each individual segment.
