Basis of presentation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Partnership and entities in which it holds a controlling or other financial interest, including WES Operating, WES Operating GP, proportionately consolidated interests, and equity investments. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The consolidated financial results of WES Operating are included in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. Throughout these notes to consolidated financial statements, and to the extent material, any differences between the consolidated financial results of the Partnership and WES Operating are discussed separately. The Partnership’s consolidated financial statements differ from those of WES Operating primarily as a result of (i) the presentation of noncontrolling interest ownership (see Noncontrolling interests below), (ii) the elimination of WES Operating GP’s investment in WES Operating with WES Operating GP’s underlying capital account, (iii) the general and administrative expenses incurred by the Partnership, which are separate from, and in addition to, those incurred by WES Operating, (iv) the inclusion of the impact of Partnership equity balances and Partnership distributions, and (v) transactions between the Partnership and WES Operating that eliminate upon consolidation.

Certain information and note disclosures commonly included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s 2024 Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

Use of estimates. In preparing financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management makes informed judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, using historical experience and other reasonable methods. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates, and actual results may differ from these estimates. Effects on the business, financial condition, and results of operations resulting from revisions to estimates are recognized when the facts that give rise to the revisions become known. The information included herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

Noncontrolling interests. The Partnership’s noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements consist of (i) the 25% third-party interest in Chipeta and (ii) the 2.0% limited partner interest in WES Operating owned by an Occidental subsidiary. WES Operating’s noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements consists of the 25% third-party interest in Chipeta.

Inventory. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, Other current assets includes (i) $2.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, of NGLs inventory and (ii) $9.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of materials and supplies inventory that are classified as short term on the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, Other assets includes (i) $3.3 million and $5.5 million, respectively, of NGLs line-fill inventory, and (ii) $105.0 million and $110.3 million, respectively, of materials and supplies inventory that are classified as long term on the consolidated balance sheets.

Segments. The Partnership’s operations continue to be organized into a single operating segment, the assets of which gather, compress, treat, process, and transport natural gas; gather, stabilize, and transport condensate, NGLs, and crude oil; and gather and dispose of produced water in the United States.

Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” was adopted on December 31, 2024, using a retrospective approach with no impact to the consolidated financial statements; however, the adoption did result in additional disclosure. See Note 11.

Equity-based compensation. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Partnership issued 771,961 common units and 971,391 common units, respectively, under its long-term incentive plans. Compensation expense was $10.7 million and $19.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $10.4 million and $19.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted. In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The standard requires additional disclosure and disaggregation of certain income statement expense line items and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Partnership plans to adopt the standard when it becomes effective beginning with the fiscal year 2027 annual financial statements. The Partnership is assessing the impact of this guidance on its disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
