Produced Water Handling Volumes

Produced water handling volumes are a primary revenue driver for our business. We charge a fixed per-barrel fee under our produced water handling agreements. As volumes increase, revenue scales accordingly, making this metric a critical leading indicator of our financial performance and overall system utilization. Typically, changes in produced water handling volumes are driven by our customers’ production levels, development programs and the pace of completions activity on our contracted acreage.

We actively work to increase produced water volumes by entering into new customer arrangements, which we achieve through a combination of commercial outreach, competitive contract offerings and infrastructure connectivity. These arrangements often involve long-term gathering and disposal agreements, acreage dedications or MVCs. These efforts are further supported by our system expansion, basin-wide service coverage and water solutions services that we believe make it easier and more cost-effective for customers to choose us as their produced water midstream provider.

We define “produced water handling volumes” as all produced water barrels received from customers, excluding any deficient barrels under our MVCs. Deficient barrels under MVCs are financial payments received from customers and are included in produced water handling revenue.

Revenue

Revenue is a key performance metric of our company. We analyze realized monthly, quarterly and annual revenues and compare the results against our internal projections and budgets. We examine revenue per barrel of water handled or sold to evaluate pricing trends and customer mix impacts. We also assess incremental changes in revenue compared to incremental changes in direct operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses to identify potential areas for improvement and to determine whether our performance is meeting our expectations. We generate revenue by providing fee-based services related to produced water handling and water solutions. The services related to produced water are fee-based arrangements which are based on the volume of water that flows through our network. Revenues from produced water handling consist primarily of per barrel fees charged to our customers for the use of our transportation and water handling services. For our produced water handling contracts, revenue is recognized over time utilizing the output method based on the volume of produced water accepted from the customer. The services related to water solutions are fee-based arrangements which are based on recycled and brackish water volumes delivered. Revenues from water solutions are priced based on negotiated rates with our customers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain non-GAAP performance measures to evaluate current and past performance and prospects for the future to supplement our financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.
