Introduction

 

On July 22, 2024, EQT Corporation (EQT) and certain subsidiaries of EQT completed the Equitrans Midstream Merger (defined below) pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger dated March 10, 2024 (the Merger Agreement), by and among EQT, Humpty Merger Sub Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EQT (Merger Sub), Humpty Merger Sub LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EQT (LLC Sub), and Equitrans Midstream Corporation (Equitrans Midstream).

 

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Equitrans Midstream (the First Merger), with Equitrans Midstream surviving as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EQT (the First Step Surviving Corporation), and, as the second step in a single integrated transaction with the First Merger, the First Step Surviving Corporation merged with and into LLC Sub (the Second Merger and, together with the First Merger, the Equitrans Midstream Merger), with LLC Sub surviving the Second Merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of EQT.

 

Upon the closing of the Equitrans Midstream Merger, each share of common stock, no par value, of Equitrans Midstream (Equitrans Midstream common stock) that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger (other than shares of Equitrans Midstream common stock owned by Equitrans Midstream or its subsidiaries or by EQT or its subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive, without interest, 0.3504 shares of EQT common stock, which totaled 152,427,848 shares of EQT common stock with an aggregate value of $5.5 billion, based on an EQT common stock share price of $35.88. In addition, in connection with the closing of the Equitrans Midstream Merger, EQT paid an aggregate of $79.5 million of equity consideration to employees of Equitrans Midstream who did not continue with EQT upon the Equitrans Midstream Merger closing date.

 

Immediately prior to the completion of the Equitrans Midstream Merger, on July 22, 2024, using borrowings under EQT's revolving credit facility, EQT paid $685.3 million to effect the purchase and redemption of all of the issued and outstanding Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Shares, no par value, of Equitrans Midstream (the Equitrans Midstream preferred stock).

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations (the pro forma statement of operations) for the year ended December 31, 2024 has been prepared to reflect the effects of the "Pro Forma Events" described below on the statement of operations of EQT and subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) as if they had occurred on January 1, 2024.

 

The pro forma statement of operations is derived from:

 

·the historical audited financial statements of the Company; and
·the historical unaudited financial statements of Equitrans Midstream.

 

The Pro Forma Events consist of (i) the Equitrans Midstream Merger, (ii) the conversion of each share of Equitrans Midstream common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger into the right to receive 0.3504 shares of EQT common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares of EQT common stock that Equitrans Midstream common shareholders were otherwise entitled to receive in the Equitrans Midstream Merger, and (iii) the purchase and redemption by Equitrans Midstream of all of the outstanding shares of Equitrans Midstream preferred stock prior to the consummation of the Equitrans Midstream Merger.

EQT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS (UNAUDITED)

 

1.            Basis of Presentation

 

The pro forma statement of operations has been prepared to reflect the effect of the Pro Forma Events on the consolidated statement of operations of the Company. The pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 is presented as if the Pro Forma Events had occurred on January 1, 2024.

 

The pro forma statement of operations has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting pursuant to accounting guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, with EQT treated as the acquirer. The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuations and other studies that have yet to commence or progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measure. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing pro forma financial information and are subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value as of July 22, 2024. Differences between these estimates and the final purchase price allocation may have a material impact on the accompanying pro forma statement of operations. For additional information on the preliminary purchase price allocation, refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in EQT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

The Equitrans Midstream historical amounts are unaudited, which are included in Equitrans Midstream's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Certain historical amounts of Equitrans Midstream have been reclassified to conform to the Company's pro forma presentation.

 

The pro forma statement of operations is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations of the Company would have been had the Pro Forma Events occurred on the date assumed, nor is it necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations.

 

2.            Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions

 

The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable. The actual effects of the Pro Forma Events will differ from the pro forma adjustments. A general description of the pro forma adjustments is provided below.

 

(a)Pro forma reclassifications to conform to the Company's pro forma presentation, including:

(i)reclassification of operating revenues of Equitrans Midstream to pipeline, net marketing services and other revenues of the Company;
(ii)reclassification of selling, general and administrative and transaction costs of Equitrans Midstream to other operating expenses of the Company; and
(iii)reclassification of amortization of intangible assets of Equitrans Midstream to depreciation, depletion and amortization of the Company.

 

(b)Pro forma adjustments to eliminate historical transactions between the Company and Equitrans Midstream that would be treated as intercompany transactions on a consolidated basis, including:

(i)eliminate changes in the fair value of the consolidated gas gathering agreement derivative instrument in gain on derivatives of the Company and in other expense of Equitrans Midstream; and
(ii)eliminate pipeline, net marketing services and other revenues of Equitrans Midstream and transportation and processing expense and production expense of the Company related to gathering, transportation and water services performed by Equitrans Midstream.

 

 

 

 

(c)Pro forma adjustment to selling, general and administrative expense of Equitrans Midstream as a result of the adjustment of accounts receivable of Equitrans Midstream to estimated fair value related to current expected credit losses reserve of Equitrans Midstream related to the Company.

 

(d)Pro forma adjustment to depreciation expense of Equitrans Midstream as a result of the adjustment of property, plant and equipment of Equitrans Midstream to estimated fair value and the adjustment to expected remaining useful lives.

 

(e)Pro forma adjustment to give effect to the amortization of the intangible assets identified as a result of the preliminary purchase price allocation using an estimated life which reflects the expected term of future cash flows of the underlying customer contracts and calculated based on a straight line method of amortization.

 

(f)Pro forma adjustment to income from investments of Equitrans Midstream as a result of the adjustment of the investment in Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC of Equitrans Midstream to estimated fair value.

 

(g)Pro forma adjustment to amortization of deferred issuance costs in interest expense of Equitrans Midstream as a result of the adjustment of debt of Equitrans Midstream to estimated fair value, with the difference between principal and estimated fair value capitalized as deferred issuance costs to be amortized over the remaining term of the underlying senior note.

 

(h)Pro forma adjustment to interest expense for borrowings made under EQT's revolving credit facility to purchase and redeem the Equitrans Midstream preferred stock.

 

(i)Pro forma adjustment to reflect the income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments. The tax rate used to reflect the tax effect in the pro forma adjustments was the statutory federal and apportioned statutory state tax rate, net of the federal benefit of state taxes, applied to pre-tax income. The pro forma statement of operations includes a nonrecurring income tax adjustment to give effect to the remeasurement of EQT’s deferred income taxes to reflect the combined state apportionment rates. Additional tax adjustments may arise upon closure of the Equitrans Midstream and filing of the initial tax returns.

 

(j)Pro forma adjustment to reflect the noncontrolling interest effects of the pro forma adjustments described in (d), (e) and (g) above.

 

(k)Pro forma adjustment to reflect the purchase and redemption of all of the issued and outstanding Equitrans Midstream preferred stock, including accrued and unpaid dividends.

 

(l)Pro forma adjustment to weighted average common stock outstanding to reflect the conversion of each share of Equitrans Midstream common stock that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First Merger into the right to receive, without interest, 0.3504 shares of EQT common stock, which totaled 152,427,848 shares of EQT common stock.
