Altus Midstream : Q1 2020 Press Release

NEWS RELEASE

Altus Midstream Announces First-Quarter 2020 Results

• Strong liquidity position through 2023 to execute capital investment program;
• Three of four long-haul joint venture pipeline projects in service, with the Permian Highway Pipeline on schedule for early 2021; and
• Continued strong operational performance with 15% reduction in operating costs.

HOUSTON, May 6, 2020 - Altus Midstream Company (Nasdaq: ALTM) today announced its results for the three-month period ending March 31, 2020.

The company reported a first-quarter 2020 net loss including noncontrolling interests of $26.8 million, which includes a $62 million non-cash unrealized loss related to an embedded derivative in the company's preferred units. Excluding this and other items, adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2020 was approximately $46.5 million. Gathering and processing (G&P) throughput volumes for the period averaged 577 million cubic feet (MMcf) per day, approximately 75% of which was rich gas.

Capital investments during the quarter were approximately $90 million, which includes $7 million for G&P infrastructure and $83 million for the joint venture (JV) pipelines, comprising primarily capital calls for construction of EPIC's crude oil line and the Permian Highway Pipeline (PHP).

CEO Comment

"Altus Midstream is in a good position to navigate the current market situation. We have a diverse cash flow stream from a portfolio of G&P and long-haul pipeline assets, no upcoming debt maturities, and ample liquidity to meet foreseeable investment needs with a revolver that extends through

2023," said Clay Bretches, Altus Midstream CEO and president. "We continue to focus on operational excellence while lowering costs, as demonstrated by a 99% G&P uptime during the quarter and a 15% reduction in operating expenses from the fourth-quarter 2019 to the first-quarter 2020. We expect to be cash flow positive upon the start-up of Kinder Morgan's PHP in early 2021."

Infrastructure Update

Altus received cash distributions from Kinder Morgan's Gulf Coast Express (GCX) natural gas pipeline and Enterprise Products' Shin Oak Natural Gas Liquids pipeline through the first quarter. "Kinder

Morgan highlighted GCX as a major contributor to its higher volumes in the first quarter, and the Shin Oak pipeline is providing customers the advantage of Y-grade delivery directly to fractionation and storage facilities at Mont Belvieu on the Gulf Coast," continued Bretches.

PHP, in which Altus holds an approximate 27% equity interest, remains on track to commence service in early 2021. This natural gas pipeline, operated by Kinder Morgan, will have a capacity of 2.1 billion cubic feet (Bcf) per day and is supported by minimum volume commitments.

The EPIC Crude Oil Pipeline (EPIC) went into full service on April 1 with a smooth start-up. Altus holds a 15% equity interest in EPIC.

"Oil volumes in the area remain challenged due to reduced drilling activity in the Permian basin; however, EPIC is aggressively sourcing business and has added incremental revenue from short-term storage and transport deals," continued Bretches.

"I'm very thankful for our dedicated team. They have done a tremendous job keeping the business running safely during the COVID-19 pandemic," concluded Bretches.

CFO Comment

"Following team and community safety, our priority in this challenging time is to maintain our strong liquidity position," said Ben Rodgers, Altus Midstream chief financial officer. "The vast majority of our capital for the remainder of 2020 will be directed to the completion of PHP. With the startup of that pipeline in early 2021, all four of our JV pipeline projects will be in service and contributing to Altus' earnings."

NON‐GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Unaudited)

(In thousands)

Reconciliation of net income (loss) including noncontrolling interest to Adjusted EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests before financing costs (net of capitalized interest), interest income, income taxes, depreciation and accretion and adjust such equivalent items from our income from equity method interests. We also exclude (when applicable) impairments, unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, and other items affecting comparability of results to peers. Our management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful for evaluating our operating performance and comparing results of our operations from period‐to‐period and against peers without regard to financing or capital structure. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests or any other measure determined in accordance with GAAP or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing our financial performance, such as our cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our results will be unaffected by unusual or non‐ recurring items. Additionally, our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

The GAAP measure used by the Company that is most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. Our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry, thereby diminishing its utility.

Our management compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool, by reviewing the comparable GAAP measure, understanding the differences between Adjusted EBITDA as compared to net income (loss) including noncontrolling interests and incorporating this knowledge into its decision‐making processes. Our management believes that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that the Company uses in evaluating operating results.

TOTAL GROWTH CAPITAL INVESTMENTS

(Unaudited)

(In thousands)

Reconciliation of costs incurred in midstream activity to capital investments and growth capital investments

Management believes the presentation of capital investments and growth capital investments is useful for investors to assess Altus' expenditures related to our midstream capital activity. We define capital investments as costs incurred in midstream activities, adjusted to exclude asset retirement obligation revisions and liabilities incurred, while including amounts paid during the period for abandonment and decommissioning expenditures given the uncertainty and timing of when the actual abandonment activity will occur. Management also believes that including our proportionate share of capital in relation to equity method interests funded by cash contributions and the partner's project financing is useful for investors to assess Altus' total growth capital investments. Management believes total growth capital investments provides a more accurate reflection of Altus' current‐period expenditures related to midstream capital activity and is consistent with how we plan our capital budget.
