HG Acquisition

The HG Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and as such, the Company estimated the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing Date. See Note 3—Transactions.

The Company used a cost approach to estimate the fair value of property and equipment acquired based on inputs that are not observable in the market, whereby it is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The significant inputs to the property and equipment fair value include replacement cost of similar assets, adjusted for depreciation based on asset age and condition, economic and functional obsolescence, location, normal useful lives and capacity. The Company used a discounted cash flow technique, which is an income approach, to estimate the fair value of the customer relationships, whereby it is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The significant inputs to the customer relationships fair value include throughput and water handling volumes, estimated future service fees, capital expenditures, operating expenditures and a weighted-average cost of capital. The Company utilized a weighted average cost of capital for gathering and compression and water handling customer relationships of 14% and 16%, respectively, as of the Closing Date.
