Commodity Price and Demand Risks - The company is exposed to commodity price risk through percent-of-proceeds arrangements, which can lead to revenue fluctuations based on natural gas, NGL, and crude oil prices [173]. - A reduction in demand for NGL products could materially adversely affect the company's business and financial condition, particularly due to economic conditions and competition [174]. - The demand for propane, a key product, is significantly influenced by weather conditions and global economic growth, impacting sales during warmer periods [176]. - Unexpected volume changes due to production variability may expose the company to commodity price fluctuations [202]. - The company may face increased exposure to commodity price risks if it fails to balance its purchases and sales of commodities [242]. - The effectiveness of hedging activities may vary, potentially increasing cash flow variability and exposing the company to commodity price risks [239]. Operational Challenges - The company faces challenges in maintaining throughput levels on gathering systems due to the natural decline in production from existing wells and the need for new supply sources [182]. - The company does not own most of the land for its pipelines and facilities, which could disrupt operations and increase costs if rights of way are not renewed [193]. - The company relies on third-party pipelines and facilities for transportation, and any unavailability could adversely affect revenues [188]. - Climatic events may damage infrastructure and increase operational costs, adversely impacting the company's financial condition [195]. - Climatic events may disrupt operations, leading to potential losses from equipment damage and operational cessation [196]. - Rising sea levels and erosion could significantly impact pipeline infrastructure, resulting in increased repair costs and operational challenges [197]. - The company faces increased competition for qualified personnel, which could affect its ability to execute business strategies [186]. - The company may face challenges in integrating acquired assets, which could inhibit growth and lead to unexpected costs [222]. Financial Condition and Capital Management - The company recorded a non-cash pre-tax impairment of $452.3 million in Q4 2021, primarily related to gas processing facilities and gathering systems [238]. - Inflationary pressures have led to increased costs for goods, services, and personnel, impacting capital expenditures and operating costs [234]. - The company is exposed to credit risks from customers, with potential nonpayment affecting cash flow and results of operations [232]. - The company's total indebtedness as of December 31, 2022, was $11.6 billion, with $7.8 billion at fixed interest rates and $3.6 billion at variable interest rates [266]. - A hypothetical change of 100 basis points in the rate of variable interest rate debt would impact the company's consolidated annual interest expense by $36 million [266]. - The company's senior unsecured debt was rated "BBB-" by Fitch, "Baa3" by Moody's, and "BBB-" by S&P as of December 31, 2022 [270]. - The company has $1.4 billion of additional borrowing capacity available under the TRGP Revolver after accounting for $33.2 million of letters of credit [266]. - The company faces significant operating and financial restrictions due to covenants in its debt agreements, which may limit its ability to pay dividends, incur additional debt, or engage in certain business activities [275][276]. Regulatory and Compliance Risks - Regulatory changes from PHMSA may require additional capital projects and increased operating costs for pipeline integrity management [211]. - Compliance with Texas Railroad Commission's Weather Emergency Preparedness Standards may incur substantial costs for weatherization of facilities [198]. - Increased insurance premiums and deductibles following severe weather events could adversely affect financial conditions [201]. - The company is subject to increasing regulatory risks related to climate change, including potential costs from a methane emissions fee starting at $900 per ton in 2024, which could rise to $1,500 per ton by 2026 [280]. - Proposed regulations by the EPA could impose stricter emissions reduction requirements, potentially increasing operating costs and impacting financial results [281]. - The company may face litigation risks from local governments alleging public nuisances related to climate change, which could adversely affect its financial condition [285]. - The SEC's proposed rule for climate risk reporting may lead to increased compliance costs and litigation risks related to disclosures, affecting the company's operations [286]. - Compliance with stringent occupational safety and health regulations may incur significant costs, affecting financial condition [294]. - Non-compliance with FERC regulations could result in substantial penalties, with civil penalties for violations potentially reaching approximately $1.5 million per violation per day in 2023 [312]. Climate Change and ESG Considerations - Access to capital may be restricted due to climate change policies, as institutional investors shift focus towards sustainability, impacting funding for fossil fuel-related activities [286]. - Increased costs of compliance due to stringent GHG emissions regulations could reduce demand for oil and natural gas services and products [287]. - Climate change may lead to physical damage to assets and increased operational costs, impacting financial condition and results of operations [288]. - The company faces risks from changing weather conditions affecting energy demand, which could adversely impact financial performance [289]. - Heightened attention to ESG matters may result in increased costs, reduced demand for products, and negative impacts on stock price and access to capital markets [290]. - The establishment of a Sustainability Committee aims to enhance ESG practices, but achieving aspirational ESG targets may face unforeseen costs and technical difficulties [291]. - Unfavorable ESG ratings could lead to negative investor sentiment and reduced access to capital for growth projects [292]. - Increased scrutiny of ESG statements may result in litigation risks and negative sentiment, impacting investment [293]. Tax and Accounting Risks - Future tax liability may be greater than expected if NOL carryforwards are limited or if tax authorities challenge certain tax positions [248]. - Changes in tax laws, such as the 15% minimum tax imposed under the IRA, could materially increase the company's tax obligations [251]. - As of December 31, 2022, the company has U.S. federal NOL carryforwards of $6.8 billion, with some expiring between 2036 to 2037 and others having no expiration date [246]. - Changes in accounting standards could materially impact the company's financial results and compliance with debt obligations [231]. - The company’s ability to maintain effective internal controls is crucial for accurate financial reporting and fraud prevention [230].
