Presentation

The consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect all normal and recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss); therefore, net income (loss) is equal to comprehensive income (loss). The unaudited results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain notes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these interim consolidated financial statements. These financial statements, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

We consolidate the activities of Hess Midstream Operations LP (the “Partnership”), as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) under GAAP. We have concluded that we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, as defined in the accounting standards, since we have the power, through our ownership, to direct those activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Partnership. This conclusion was based on a qualitative analysis that considered the Partnership’s governance structure and the delegation of control provisions, which provide us with the ability to control the operations of the Partnership. All financial statement activities associated with the VIE are captured within gathering, processing and storage, and terminaling and export segments (see Note 10, Segments). We currently do not have any independent assets or operations other than our interest in the Partnership. At March 31, 2026, our noncontrolling interest represented an approximate 37.7% interest in the Partnership retained by our Sponsor (December 31, 2025: 37.7%). See Note 2, Equity Transactions for more details.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of income statement expenses. This ASU requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
