FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND RISK
•SEC. United States Securities and Exchange Commission This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected revenues, projected costs and plans, and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “expect,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “continue,” “seek,” “guidance,” “might,” “outlook,” “possibly,” “potential,” “prospect,” “should,” “would,” or similar terminology. The absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable under the circumstances, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to, assumptions about:
•our ability to integrate operations or realize any anticipated benefits, savings or growth from the Barilla Draw Acquisition and Durango Acquisition (as defined herein). See
Note 2 — Business Combinations in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in this Form 10-Q;
•the market prices of oil, natural gas, NGLs, electricity and other products or services;
•competition from other pipelines, terminals or other forms of midstream assets and competition from other service providers for gathering system capacity and availability;
•production rates, throughput volumes, reserve levels and development success of dedicated oil and gas fields;
•our future financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, compliance with debt covenants and competitive position;
•our future revenues, cash flows and expenses;
•our access to capital and our anticipated liquidity;
•our future business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations;
•the amount, nature and timing of our future capital expenditures, including future development costs;
•the risks associated with potential acquisitions, divestitures, new joint ventures or other strategic opportunities;
•the risks associated with the construction of midstream infrastructure, including delays and cost overruns;
•the recruitment and retention of our officers and personnel;
•the likelihood of success of and impact of litigation and other proceedings, including regulatory proceedings;
•our assessment of our counterparty risk and the ability of our counterparties to perform their future obligations;
•the impact of federal, state and local political, regulatory and environmental developments where we conduct our business operations;
•the changes in the U.S. and foreign trade policy and the impact of tariffs on our business and results of operations;
•the occurrence of an extreme weather event, terrorist attack or other event that materially impacts project construction and our operations, including cyber or other operational electronic systems;
•our ability to successfully implement, execute and achieve our sustainability goals and initiatives;
•the realizability and valuation allowance assessment of our net deferred tax asset position;
•general economic and political conditions, including the armed conflicts in Ukraine, Israel and the Gaza Strip and elsewhere in the Middle East, the impact of foreign and domestic trade policies under the Trump Administration and other factors; and other factors disclosed in “Part I, Item 1A. — Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed on March 3, 2025.
Other factors or events that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all such factors or events. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company, or persons acting on its behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements, whether based on changes in internal estimates or expectations, new information, future developments or otherwise.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
KINETIK HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by Kinetik Holdings Inc. (the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. They reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for interim periods, on a basis consistent with the annual audited financial statements, with the exception of recently adopted accounting pronouncements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information, accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read along with the Company’s audited financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2025.
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
The Company is a holding company, whose only significant assets are ownership of the non-economic general partner interest and an approximate 39% limited partner interest in Kinetik Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”). As the owner of the non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership, the Company is responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions related to, and consolidates the results of, the Partnership and its subsidiaries.
The Company provides comprehensive gathering, produced water disposal, transportation, compression, processing and treating services necessary to bring natural gas, NGLs and crude oil to market. Additionally, the Company owns equity interests in three separate Permian Basin pipeline entities that have access to various markets along the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Certain reclassifications of prior year balances have been made to conform such amounts to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on net income. All adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year; accordingly, you should read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which has required prior periods to reflect the change in presentation. See Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Recent Accounting Pronouncements in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies that we follow are set forth in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no significant updates or revisions to our accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Transactions with related parties
The Company has revenue contracts and incurs cost of sales and operating expenses with Apache Midstream LLC (“Apache”), which owned more than 5% of the Company’s common stock prior to its secondary offerings completed in December 2023 and March 2024. Pursuant to ASC 850, Related Party Transactions, Apache was no longer a related party after the completion of its secondary offering in December 2023 as it owned less than 10% of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item 404(a), Apache ceased to be a related party as of March 18, 2024 as it no longer owned any of the Company’s common stock. In 2024, for the period ended March 18, 2024, revenue from Apache was $17.2 million, cost of sales was $9.4 million and operating expenses were $0.2 million.
In addition, the Company incurs cost of sales with two of its equity method investment (“EMI”) pipeline entities, Permian Highway Pipeline LLC (“PHP”) and Breviloba, LLC (“Breviloba”). The Company pays a demand fee to PHP and pays a capacity fee to Breviloba for certain volumes moving on the Shin Oak NGL Pipeline. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded cost of sales of $4.7 million with these affiliates. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded cost of sales of $13.9 million with these affiliates.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in this update require, among other items, that public entities disclose, on an annual and interim basis, (i) specific categories of income taxes in the rate reconciliation, and (ii) a disaggregation of income taxes paid by federal, state, and foreign taxes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied prospectively with retrospective application permitted. We are evaluating the effects of the amendment on our Consolidated Financial Statements and expect to disclose the required information beginning in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Subtopic 220-40), Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-23”). In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures - Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 and ASU 2025-01 require a public business entity to disclose specific information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to its financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. All public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2024-03 and 2025-01 will have on the disclosures within its Consolidated Financial Statements.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
For acquired businesses, we recognize the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition with any excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired recorded to goodwill. Determining the fair value of these items requires management’s judgment and the utilization of an independent valuation specialist, if applicable, and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
As of March 31, 2025, our allocations of purchase price for acquisitions made during 2025 and 2024 are detailed below:

Barilla Draw Acquisition
On January 14, 2025, the Company completed the previously announced bolt-on acquisition with Permian Resources Corporation (“Permian Resources”, or “Seller”), who directly owns all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of (a) RC Permian Gathering, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Permian Interests”) and (b) Barilla Draw Gathering, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Barilla Interests”), to acquire all issued and outstanding Permian Interests and Barilla Interests (the “Barilla Acquisition”) for $178.4 million of cash consideration. Assets acquired consisted of natural gas and crude gathering pipelines and compression of $167.8 million, intangible right-of-way assets of $10.6 million and operating lease right of use assets of $15.7 million. Acquired gathering pipelines and compression were valued based on replacement cost along with economic obsolescence adjustments. These assets are depreciated over an estimated useful life of 20 years. Intangible right-of-way assets were valued based on the across-the-fence method and are amortized over an estimated useful life of seven years. Acquired net assets from this business combination were included in the Midstream Logistics segment. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. Certain data necessary to complete the purchase price allocation is not yet available, including, but not limited to, the completion of the valuation of the underlying assets and liabilities assumed.
The Company is continuing its review of these matters during the measurement period. Acquisition-related costs were immaterial for this transaction. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Barilla Draw recorded revenues of $9.1 million and net income of $1.7 million.
Durango Acquisition
On June 24, 2024 (the “Durango Closing Date”), the Company consummated the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Durango MIPA”), dated May 9, 2024, by and between the Company, the Partnership, and Durango Midstream LLC, an affiliate of Morgan Stanley Equity Partners (the “Durango Seller”), pursuant to which the Partnership purchased all of the membership interests of Durango Permian, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Durango”) from Durango Seller for an adjusted purchase price of approximately $785.7 million (the “Durango Acquisition”). Durango Seller is entitled to an earn out of up to $75.0 million in cash contingent upon the Kings Landing gas processing complex in Eddy County, New Mexico (the “Kings Landing Project”), which is currently under construction, being placed into service (the “Kings Landing Earnout”). The Kings Landing Earnout is subject to reductions based on actual capital costs associated with the Kings Landing Project. The Company recorded a contingent liability related to the Kings Landing Earnout based on project completion probability, see additional information in
Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in this Form 10-Q. The Durango Acquisition allows the Company to further expand its footprint into New Mexico and across the Northern Delaware Basin.

7. DEBT AND FINANCING COSTS
December 2028 Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes
On March 14, 2025, the Company completed an additional private placement of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2028 (the “New 2028 Notes”) at 101.25% of par. Interest on the New 2028 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2024. The aggregate fees and expenses totaling $2.5 million paid to third parties to issue the New 2028 Notes and the initial purchasers’ discount of $2.5 million were capitalized as debt issuance cost and original debt discount, respectively. These capitalized costs were included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a direct deduction to the New 2028 Notes. In addition, original debt premium of $3.1 million was added to the New 2028 Notes. The debt issuance cost and original debt discount are amortized, and the debt premium is accreted to interest expense over the term of the New 2028 Notes using the effective interest method.
The New 2028 Notes were issued as additional notes under the indenture dated as of December 6, 2023, as may be supplemented from time to time (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the Partnership has previously issued $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Existing Notes” and together with the New 2028 Notes, the “2028 Notes”).
The New 2028 Notes and the Existing Notes are treated as a single series of securities under the Indenture and vote together as a single class and the New 2028 Notes have substantially identical terms, other than the issue date, issue price and the first interest payment date, as the Existing Notes.

Compliance with our Covenants
Each of the revolving credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and the term loan credit agreement with PNC Bank as administrative agent (the “Term Loan Credit Facility”), contain customary covenants and restrictive provisions which may, among other things, limit the Partnership’s ability to create liens, incur additional indebtedness and make restricted payments and the Partnership’s ability to liquidate, dissolve, consolidate with or merge into or with any other person. The 2030 Notes and the 2028 Notes also contain covenants and restrictive provisions, which may, among other things, limit the Partnership’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to create liens to secure indebtedness.
The A/R Facility contains covenants and restrictive provisions with respect to the Partnership and Kinetik Receivables, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership (“Kinetik Receivables”) that are customary for accounts receivable securitization facilities. As of March 31, 2025, the Partnership was in compliance with all customary and financial covenants.

The redemption option of the Common Unit is not legally detachable or separately exercisable from the instrument and is non-transferable; the Common Unit is redeemable at the option of the holder. Therefore, the Common Unit is accounted for as redeemable noncontrolling interest and classified as temporary equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, 0.7 million Common Units were redeemed on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company (“Class A Common Stock”) and a corresponding number of shares of Class C Common Stock were cancelled. There were 97.0 million Common Units and an equal number of Class C Common Stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and 7.7 million shares of Class C Common Stock and equivalent number of Common Units of deferred consideration for the Durango Acquisition that will be issued on July 1, 2025. The Common Units fair value was approximately $5.45 billion, including deferred consideration valued as of March 31, 2025.
Common Stock
As of March 31, 2025, there were 60.9 million and 97.0 million shares, respectively, of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock issued and outstanding (collectively, “Common Stock”). In addition, 7.7 million shares of Class C Common Stock will be issued as deferred consideration for the Durango Acquisition on July 1, 2025.
Share Repurchase Program
During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any of its Class A Common Stock under the Repurchase Program.
Dividend
On February 12, 2025, the Company made cash dividend payments of $123.2 million to holders of Class A Common Stock and Common Units and $0.4 million was reinvested in shares of Class A Common Stock. The significant decrease in the amount reinvested in shares of Class A Common Stock compared with the same quarter in 2024 was due to the automatic termination of the Dividend and Distribution Reinvestment Agreement on March 8, 2024.

Our derivative contracts consist of interest rate swaps and commodity swaps. The valuation of these derivative contracts involved both observable publicly quoted prices and certain credit valuation inputs that may not be readily observable in the marketplace. As such, derivative contracts are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Refer to
Note 11—Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion related to commodity swaps and interest rate derivatives.
The Company recorded a contingent liability related to the Kings Landing Earnout using Level 3 inputs, including projected spending and completion probability of the project. Refer to
Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion related to the Kings Landing Earnout contingent liability.
Long-term debt’s carrying value can vary from fair value. See
Note 7—Debt and Financing Costs in the Notes to Condensed Financial Statements for further information. The carrying amounts reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the Company’s remaining financial assets and liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
11. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions, and it enters into certain derivative contracts to manage exposure to these risks. To minimize counterparty credit risk in derivative instruments, the Company enters into transactions with high credit-rating counterparties. The Company did not elect to apply hedge accounting to these derivative contracts and recorded the fair value of the derivatives on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company manages market risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and by using derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from activities that result in the payment of future-known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which is determined by interest rates.
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had two interest rate swap contracts with total notional amounts of $1.70 billion effective on May 1, 2023 and maturing on May 31, 2025 that pay a fixed rate ranging from 4.38% to 4.48% and seven interest rate swap contracts with a notional amount of $525.0 million maturing on December 31, 2025 that pays a fixed rate ranging from 3.02% to 4.06%. The fair value or settlement value of the consolidated interest rate swaps outstanding are presented on a gross basis on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities related to the interest rate swap contracts:

Commodity Price Risk
The results of the Company’s operations may be affected by the market prices of oil, natural gas and NGLs. A portion of the Company’s revenue is directly tied to local natural gas, natural gas liquids and condensate prices in the Permian Basin and the U.S. Gulf Coast. Fluctuations in commodity prices also impact operating cost elements both directly and indirectly. Management regularly reviews the Company’s potential exposure to commodity price risk and manages exposure of such risk through commodity hedge contracts.
During the past twelve months, the Company entered into multiple commodity swap contracts based on the OPIS NGL Mont Belvieu prices for ethane, propane and butane, the Waha Basis index, the HSC index and the NYMEX West Texas Intermediate Control index. These contracts are for various notional quantities of NGLs, natural gas and crude. Similarly, the Company has entered into various natural gas basis spread swaps and crude collars. These contracts are effective over the next 1 to 15 months and are used to hedge against location price risk of the respective commodities resulting from supply and demand volatility and protect cash flows against price fluctuations.

12. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company granted various Class A and Class C Shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) to members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and employees. The Class A Shares and Class C Shares and RSUs are subject to service requirements for vesting and the PSUs have both service requirements and market condition performance requirements for vesting. These units are recorded at grant-date fair value and compensation expense is recognized on a straight‑line or graded straight-line basis over the vesting period within “General and Administrative Expenses” of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

As of March 31, 2025, there were $24.4 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to the RSUs. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.78 years.
Performance Stock Units
The Company granted PSUs pursuant to the 2019 Plan to certain of its employees and executives. These PSUs vest and become earned upon the achievement of certain performance goals based on the Company’s annualized absolute total stockholder return and the Company’s relative total stockholder return as compared to the performance peer group during a three-year performance period. Depending on the results achieved during the three-year performance period, the actual number of Class A Common Stock that a holder of the PSUs earns at the end of the performance period may range from 0% to 200% of the target number of PSUs granted. The fair value of the PSUs is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation at the grant date. The Company recognized compensation expense for PSUs on a straight-line basis over the performance period. Any PSU not earned at the end of the performance period will be forfeited.

With respect to the above Class A Shares, Class C Shares, RSUs and PSUs, the Company recorded compensation expenses of $20.7 million and $22.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company modified certain equity awards in connection with a key employee retiring from the Company. The modifications allowed for continued vesting of unvested equity awards that would have otherwise been forfeited upon the former employee’s retirement. As a result of the modification, the Company will recognize $2.2 million in additional stock-based compensation cost, which will be amortized over the remaining term of respective equity awards.

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Accruals for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, environmental and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted as additional information becomes available or circumstances change. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were no accruals for loss contingencies.
Litigation
The Company is a party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. In accordance with FASB ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company accrues reserves for outstanding lawsuits, claims and proceedings when a loss contingency is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company estimates the amount of loss contingencies using current available information from legal proceedings, advice from legal counsel and available insurance coverage. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the assessments and unpredictability of the outcomes of the legal proceedings, any amounts accrued or included in this aggregate amount may not represent the ultimate loss to the Company from the legal proceedings in question. There were no litigation-related accrued reserves as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
The Company has entered into litigation with a third party to collect receivables totaling $11.6 million and is waiting on settlement of $8.0 million in outstanding vendor credits from another counterparty related to prior litigation the Company had previously entered into and subsequently dropped. These amounts remain outstanding from the Winter Storm Uri during February of 2021. Given the counterparties’ sufficient creditworthiness and the valid claims that we hold, no allowance has currently been established for these items as we have legally enforceable agreements with these parties.
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to various local, state, and federal laws and regulations relating to various environmental matters during the ordinary course of business. Although we believe our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, risks of additional costs and liabilities are inherent in our operations. Moreover, changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent or costly requirements could require the Company to make significant expenditures to attain and maintain compliance or may otherwise have a material adverse effect on its operations, competitive position, or financial condition.
As of the Durango Closing Date, the Company has become potentially liable for civil penalties related to excess emission violations of certain gas plants and compressor stations acquired. The Company recorded an initial liability of $24.0 million based on information related to the alleged violations available as of the Durango Closing Date. The estimated environmental matter-related liability was $24.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The estimated environmental matter-related liability was reclassified as noncurrent liabilities and included in “Other liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2025 as the Company expects the matter to be settled beyond the next 12 months.
Contingent Liabilities
Durango Acquisition
On June 24, 2024, the Company consummated the previously announced Durango Acquisition. Pursuant to the Durango MIPA, Durango Seller is entitled to an earn out of up to $75.0 million in cash contingent upon the completion of the Kings Landing Project and placing it into service in Eddy County, New Mexico. This earn out is subject to reduction based on actual capital costs associated with the Kings Landing Project.
Upon Closing, the Company evaluated the earn-out consideration classification in accordance with ASC 480. The Company determined the earn-out consideration to be classified as a liability based on the settlement provision. As of Closing, the Company recorded an initial contingent liability of $4.5 million based on the project’s completion probability and projected spend. The estimated contingent liability associated with the Kings Landing Project was $4.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Permian Gas Acquisition
As part of the acquisition of Permian Gas on June 11, 2019, consideration included a contingent liability arrangement with PDC Permian, Inc. (“PDC”). The arrangement requires additional monies to be paid by the Company to PDC on a per Mcf basis if the actual annual Mcf volume amounts exceed forecasted annual Mcf volume amounts starting in 2020 and continuing through 2029. The total monies paid under this arrangement are capped at $60.5 million and are payable on an annual basis over the earn-out period. PDC’s actual annual Mcf volume did not exceed the incentive forecast volume during the past five years and is not expected to over the next five years; therefore, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability was nil as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
16. SEGMENTS
Our two operating segments represent the Company’s segments for which discrete financial information is available and is utilized on a regular basis by our CODM to make key operating decisions, assess performance and allocate resources. These segments represent strategic business units with differing products and services. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the reportable segments. Therefore, our two operating segments represent our reportable segments. The activities of each of our reportable segments from which the Company earns revenues and incurs expenses are described below:
•Midstream Logistics: The Midstream Logistics segment operates under three streams, 1) gas gathering and processing, 2) crude oil gathering, stabilization and storage services and 3) produced water gathering and disposal.
•Pipeline Transportation: The Pipeline Transportation segment consists of equity investment interests in three Permian Basin pipelines that access various points along the U.S. Gulf Coast, Kinetik NGL Pipeline and Delaware Link Pipeline. The current operating pipelines transport crude oil, natural gas and NGLs.
Our Chief Executive Officer, who is the CODM, uses segment net income or loss including noncontrolling interest adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposal of assets, the proportionate EBITDA from our EMI pipelines, share-based compensation expense, noncash increases and decreases related to commodity hedging activities, integration and transaction costs and extraordinary losses and unusual or non-recurring charges (“Segment Adjusted EBITDA”) to assess performance of each operating segment. For both segments, the CODM uses Segment Adjusted EBITDA to allocate resources. The CODM considers budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly basis for both measures when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments.
The Midstream Logistics segment accounts for more than 98% of the Company’s operating revenues, cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization), operating expenses and ad valorem expenses. The Pipeline Transportation segment contains all of the Company’s equity method investments, which contribute more than 93% of the segment’s adjusted EBITDA.
Corporate and Other contains the Company’s executive and administrative functions, including 80% of the Company’s general and administrative expenses and all of the Company’s debt service costs.
The Company regularly provides management reports to the CODM that include cost of sales, operating, general and administrative expenses related to the segments, which are all considered to be significant.

(1)Corporate and Other represents those results that: (i) are not specifically attributable to an operating segment; (ii) are not individually reportable or (iii) have not been allocated to a reportable segment for the purpose of evaluating their performance, including certain general and administrative expense items. Items included here to reconcile operating segments’ profit and loss with the Company’s consolidated profit and loss.
(2)The Company accounts for intersegment sales at market prices, while it accounts for asset transfers at book value. Intersegment revenue is eliminated at consolidation.
(3)Operating expenses includes ad valorem taxes.
(4)Other segment items include certain other income items, share-based compensation, one-time or nonrecurring cost adjustments related to amortization of contract costs, commodity hedging unrealized loss, integration cost and other one-time cost or amortization.
(5)Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure; please see
Key Performance Metrics in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a definition and reconciliation to the GAAP measure.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis addresses the results of our operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2025, as compared to our results of operations for the same period in 2024. Please read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
We are an integrated midstream energy company in the Permian Basin providing comprehensive gathering, transportation, compression, processing and treating services. Our core capabilities include a variety of service offerings including natural gas gathering, transportation, compression, treating and processing; NGLs stabilization and transportation; produced water gathering and disposal; and crude oil gathering, stabilization, storage and transportation. Our operations are strategically located in the heart of the Delaware Basin.
Our Operations and Segments
We have two reportable segments which are strategic business units with various products and services. The Midstream Logistics segment operates under three service offerings, 1) gas gathering and processing, 2) crude oil gathering, stabilization and storage services and 3) produced water gathering and disposal. The Pipeline Transportation segment consists of three EMI pipelines originating in the Permian Basin with various access points to the U.S. Gulf Coast, as well as Kinetik NGL and Delaware Link Pipelines. The pipelines transport natural gas, NGLs and crude oil within the Permian Basin and to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Midstream Logistics
Gas Gathering and Processing. The Midstream Logistics segment provides gas gathering and processing services with over 4,200 miles of low and high-pressure steel pipeline located throughout the Delaware Basin, including over 2,300 miles of gas pipeline acquired through the Durango Acquisition, over 200 miles of gas pipeline acquired through the Barilla Draw Acquisition, and over 630,000 horsepower of compression capacity. Gas processing assets are centralized at seven processing complexes with total cryogenic processing capacity of approximately 2.2 Bcf/d as of today and over 2.4 Bcf/d once the Kings Landing Project is complete in mid-2025.
Crude Oil Gathering, Stabilization and Storage Services. Crude gathering assets are centralized at the Caprock Stampede Terminal and the Pinnacle Sierra Grande Terminal. The system includes approximately 280 miles of gathering pipeline and 90,000 barrels of crude storage. The crude facilities have connections for takeaway transportation into certain facilities operated by Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.
Water Gathering and Disposal. The system includes over 370 miles of gathering pipeline and approximately 580,000 barrels per day of permitted disposal capacity.
Pipeline Transportation
EMI pipelines. The Company owns the following equity interests in three EMI pipelines in the Permian Basin with access to various points along the U.S. Gulf Coast: 1) an approximate 55.5% equity interest in Permian Highway Pipeline LLC (“PHP”), which is operated by Kinder Morgan; 2) 33.0% equity interest in Breviloba, LLC (“Breviloba”), the owner of the Shin Oak NGL Pipeline (“Shin Oak”), which is operated by Enterprise Products Operating LLC; and 3) 27.5% equity interest in Epic Crude Holdings, LP (“EPIC”), which is operated by EPIC Consolidated Operations, LLC.
Kinetik NGL Pipelines. The Kinetik NGL Pipelines consist of approximately 96 miles of NGL pipelines connecting our East Toyah and Pecos complexes to Waha, including our 20-inch Dewpoint pipeline that spans over 40 miles, and our 30 mile, 20-inch Brandywine Pipeline connecting to our Diamond Cryogenic complex. The Kinetik NGL pipeline system has a capacity of approximately 580 MBbl/d.
Delaware Link Pipeline. The Delaware Link Pipeline consists of approximately 40 miles of 30-inch diameter pipeline with an initial capacity of approximately 1.0 Bcf/d that provides additional transportation capacity to Waha.
Recent Developments
Amendment to A/R Facility
December 2028 Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes
On March 14, 2025, the Company completed an additional private placement of $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2028 (the “New 2028 Notes”) at 101.25% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest from December 15, 2024. The New 2028 Notes were issued as additional notes under the indenture dated as of December 6, 2023, as may be supplemented from time to time (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the Partnership has previously issued $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Sustainability-Linked Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Existing Notes” and together with the New 2028 Notes, the “2028 Notes”). The New 2028 Notes and the Existing Notes are treated as a single series of securities under the Indenture, vote together as a single class and have substantially identical terms.
Barilla Draw Assets Acquisition
On January 14, 2025, the Company completed the previously announced Barilla Draw Acquisition. Assets acquired consisted of natural gas and crude gathering pipelines and compression of $167.8 million, intangible right-of-way assets of $10.6 million and operating lease right of use assets of $15.7 million. The Barilla Draw Acquisition provides a multi-stream opportunity for natural gas gathering and compression, as well as crude gathering services for the Company.
Factors Affecting Our Business
Commodity Price Volatility
There has been, and we believe there will continue to be, volatility in commodity prices and in the relationships among NGLs, crude oil and natural gas prices. As a result of uncertainty around global commodity supply and demand, global geopolitical conflicts, foreign and domestic trade policies implemented by the Trump Administration, and recent action by OPEC+, global oil and natural gas commodity prices continue to remain volatile. The volatility and uncertainty of natural gas, crude oil and NGL prices impact drilling, completion and other investment decisions by producers, and ultimately supply to our systems. Although ongoing armed conflicts might generate commodity price upward pressure, and our operations could benefit in an environment of higher natural gas, NGLs and condensate prices, the instability of the international political environment and human and economic hardship resulting from the conflicts would have a highly uncertain impact on the U.S. economy, which in turn, might affect our business and operations adversely. Moreover, the impact of new and proposed tariffs by the Trump Administration and foreign governments is highly uncertain, and could lead to depressed commodity prices if such tariffs result in a recession. Our product sales revenue is exposed to commodity price fluctuations. Therefore, commodity price decline and sustained periods of low natural gas, NGL and condensate prices could have an adverse effect on our product revenue stream. The Company continues to monitor commodity prices closely and may enter into commodity price hedges from time to time as necessary to mitigate the volatility risk. In addition, the Company, when economically appropriate, enters into fee-based and NGL arbitrage arrangements that insulate the Company from commodity price volatility.
In addition, our business requires access to steel and other materials to construct and maintain our pipelines and other midstream assets. Any imposition of or increase in tariffs on imports of steel or other materials, as well as corresponding price increases for such materials available domestically, could increase our construction costs and our costs to maintain our assets. The Company continues to monitor costs of materials used for capital expenditure and consider budget-to-actual and forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly basis to mitigate volatility risk. See
Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional discussion.
Inflation and Interest Rates
The annual rate of inflation in the United States was 2.4% in March 2025 as measured by the Consumer Price Index. In light of the recent economic activity, unemployment levels and tariffs proposed and implemented by the Trump Administration, the Federal Open Market Committee (the “ FOMC”) decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 4.25 % - 4.50% during its meeting in March 2025. During the meeting, the FOMC noted that the uncertainty around the economic outlook has increased, and inflation remains somewhat elevated. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2.00% objective. If interest rates remain elevated beyond the term of our hedges, our financing cost will increase and could have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to meet its contractual debt obligations and to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditures. The Company will continue to monitor the FOMC’s monetary policy and interest rate movement. Refer to
Note 11—Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for additional discussion regarding our hedging strategies and objectives for interest rate risk.

(1)Costs of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) is net of gas service fees totaling $62.2 million and $44.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, for certain volumes, where we act as principal.
NM - Not meaningful
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, revenue increased $101.9 million, or 30%, to $443.3 million, compared to $341.4 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher service and product revenue from the Durango Acquisition completed in June 2024 and higher service revenue from the Barilla Draw Acquisition completed in January 2025.
Service revenue
Service revenue consists of service fees paid to us by our customers for providing comprehensive gathering, treating, processing and produced water disposal services necessary to bring natural gas, NGLs and crude oil to market. Service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by $25.7 million, or 25%, to $127.9 million, compared to $102.2 million for the same period in 2024. This increase was driven by higher period-over-period gas gathering fees of $23.1 million. Period-over-period gathered and processed gas volumes increased by 428.6 MMcf per day, or 23% and 262.1 MMcf per day, or 17%, respectively. Of the increase, Durango’s operation accounted for 234.3 MMcf per day and 197.4 MMcf per day of gathered and processed gas volume, respectively. Barilla Draw operations accounted for 141.9 MMcf per day of gathered gas volume. Over 98% of service revenues are included in the Midstream Logistics segment.
Product revenue
Product revenue consists of commodity sales (including condensate, natural gas residue and NGLs). Product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025, increased by $75.9 million, or 32%, to $312.5 million, compared to $236.6 million for the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased NGL and condensate volumes sold and increased natural gas residue prices. Period-over-period NGL and condensate volumes sold increased 6.2 million barrels, or 99%, of which, Durango’s operations accounted for 1.5 million barrels. Increased period-over-period natural gas prices of $0.90 per MMBtu, or 50%, also contributed to the increase in product revenue. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in condensate prices of $7.12 per barrel, or 9%, and a decrease in natural gas residue volume sold of 7.5 million MMBtu, or 42.1%. Product revenues are included entirely in the Midstream Logistics segment.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Costs of sales (excluding of depreciation and amortization)
Cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) primarily consists of purchases of NGLs and natural gas from our producers at contracted market prices to support product sales to other third parties. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, cost of sales increased $69.7 million, or 45%, to $223.4 million, compared to $153.7 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the aforementioned period-over-period increases in NGL and condensate volumes sold and higher natural gas residue prices, partially offset by decreases in condensate prices and natural gas residue sales volumes. Over 99% of costs of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) is included in the Midstream Logistics segment.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased by $20.2 million, or 47%, to $63.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $43.4 million for the same period in 2024. Of the total increase, $14.2 million was driven by Durango’s operations that were acquired during June 2024 and $2.6 million was driven by the Barilla Draw operations acquired. The remaining increase was mainly driven by increases in labor costs of $1.3 million and utilities of $2.1 million. Over 99% of operating expenses are included in the Midstream Logistics segment.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $19.1 million, or 26%, to $92.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $73.6 million for the same period in 2024. Of the total increase, $12.5 million was driven by the Durango Acquisition that was completed during June 2024 and $2.5 million from the Barilla Draw Acquisition. The remaining increase was driven by assets placed in service since the second quarter of 2024.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense
Interest expense increased by $8.2 million, or 17%, to $55.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a decrease in realized and unrealized gains on interest rate swaps totaling $13.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Refer to
Note—11 Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements regarding the Company’s strategy in managing interest rate risk. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a decrease in debt interest expense of $2.7 million due to a decrease in effective interest rate and an increase in capitalized interest of $2.4 million.
Key Performance Metrics
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income including noncontrolling interests adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposal of assets, the proportionate EBITDA from our EMI pipelines, share-based compensation expense, noncash increases and decreases related to commodity hedging activities, integration and transaction costs and extraordinary losses and unusual or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA provides a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful understanding of certain aspects of earnings before the impact of investing and financing charges and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA is useful to an investor in evaluating our performance because this measure:
•is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors to measure a company’s operating performance;
•is a financial measurement that is used by rating agencies and other parties to evaluate our credit worthiness; and
•is used by our management for various purposes, including as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting.
Adjusted EBITDA is not defined in GAAP
The GAAP measure used by the Company that is most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income including noncontrolling interest. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including noncontrolling interest 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 including noncontrolling interest. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. The Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies in the industry, thereby diminishing its utility.
Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure
Company 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 including noncontrolling interest, and incorporating this knowledge into its decision-making processes. Management believes that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measure that the Company uses in evaluating operating results.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income including noncontrolling interest to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $16.5 million, or 7%, to $250.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $233.6 million for the same period in 2024. As discussed in the
Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, $8.1 million of the increase was due to increased total operating revenue of $101.9 million, partially offset by increased cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization), operating expenses, ad valorem taxes and general and administrative expense of $93.8 million. The remaining increases were primarily driven by higher integration and other one-time costs or amortization of $7.7 million and an increase in commodity hedging unrealized loss of $3.0 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in stock based compensation of $1.9 million.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA is defined as segment net earnings adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposal of assets, the proportionate EBITDA from our EMI pipelines, share-based compensation expense, noncash increases and decreases related to hedging activities, integration and transaction costs and extraordinary losses and unusual or non-recurring charges. The following table presents Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Also refer to
Note 16—Segments in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA to net income before income taxes.

Midstream Logistics Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased by $17.2 million, or 12%, to $160.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $143.0 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to the increased total operating revenue of $101.5 million, partially offset by increased cost of sales (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) of $69.7 million and operating expense and ad valorem taxes of $20.9 million. The increase was also driven by increases in integration and other one-time costs or amortization of $4.2 million and an increase of $3.0 million related to unrealized losses on commodity hedging. The reasons for the fluctuations are discussed in
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Pipeline Transportation Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.6 million, or 2%, to $93.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $95.5 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower operating revenue of $1.1 million and lower proportionate EMI EBITDA of $0.9 million due to the sale of the Company’s equity interest in Gulf Coast Express Pipeline LLC in May 2024. The decrease was partially offset by decreases in operating costs and expenses of $0.3 million. The reasons for the fluctuations are discussed in
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Contractual Obligations
We have contractual obligations for principal and interest payments on our 2028 Notes, 2030 Notes, and under the Term Loan Credit Facility, Revolving Credit Facility and A/R Facility. See
Note 7
—Debt and Financing Costs in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Under certain clauses of our transportation services agreements with third party pipelines to transport natural gas and NGLs, if we fail to ship a minimum throughput volume, then we will pay certain deficiency payments for transportation based on the volume shortfall up to the MVC amount.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s primary use of capital since inception has been for the initial construction of gathering and processing assets, as well as the acquisitions of businesses and EMI pipelines and associated subsequent construction costs. For 2025, the Company’s primary spending requirements are related to the business acquisitions and other budgeted capital expenditures for the construction and maintenance of gathering and processing assets, the Company’s contractual debt obligations and quarterly cash dividends. In addition, the Company may repurchase its Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Share Repurchase Program from time to time.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s primary sources of cash were distributions from the EMI pipelines, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and A/R Facility, and cash generated from operations. Based on the Company’s current financial plan, the Company believes that cash from operations and distributions from the EMI pipelines, and remaining borrowing capacity on our credit facilities will generate cash flows in excess of capital expenditures and the amount required to fund the Company’s planned quarterly dividend over the next 12 months.
Long-term Financing
From time to time, we issue long-term debt. Our senior unsecured notes are fixed rate borrowings; however, we have some exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates, primarily as a result of the variable rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Credit Facility and the A/R Facility. We use interest rate swaps to mitigate the impact of changes in interest rates on cash flows. See
Note 11—Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for detailed discussion.
As of March 31, 2025, we had $1.05 billion of our 6.625% senior unsecured notes due 2028 and $1.00 billion of our 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2030 outstanding. The Term Loan Credit Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility, both with variable rates and maturing in 2026 and 2027, had outstanding borrowings of $1.00 billion and $545.0 million as of March 31, 2025, respectively.
A/R Facility
As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding borrowing of $148.8 million under the A/R Facility and $1.2 million of remaining borrowing capacity.
On April 1, 2025, Kinetik LP, which is a subsidiary of the Company. entered into Amendment No. 1 to the A/R Facility to, among other things. increase the facility limit and extend the scheduled termination date.
The documentation for the Amended A/R Facility includes (i) a Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of April 2, 2024 (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) by and among Kinetik Receivables LLC, a wholly-owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of Kinetik LP, as the seller (the “Seller”), Kinetik LP, as the servicer (the “Servicer”), the persons from time to time party thereto as purchasers (the “Purchasers”), PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (“PNC” or “Administrative Agent”), and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as structuring agent and sustainability agent, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of April 1, 2025 (“Amendment No. 1 to Receivables Purchase Agreement”) by and among Seller, Servicer, Administrative Agent and the purchasers party thereto and (ii) a Sale and Contribution Agreement, dated as of April 2, 2024 (the “Sale and Contribution Agreement”), as supplemented by that Joinder Agreement dated as of April 1, 2025 (the “Joinder Agreement”), by and among Frontier Field Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FFS”), Kinetik LP and Administrative Agent.
Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Receivables Purchase Agreement, the facility limit of the A/R Facility was increased to $250 million and the scheduled termination date was extended to March 31, 2026. In addition, Amendment No. 1 to Receivables Purchase Agreement eliminated certain of the Sustainability Performance Targets applicable to Kinetik LP and the Company under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the Joinder Agreement, as of April 1, 2025, FFS is a party to the Sale and Contribution Agreement as an Originator and has assumed all interests, obligations, rights, duties and liabilities of an Originator under the Sale and Contribution Agreement.
Capital Requirements and Expenditures
Our operations can be capital intensive, requiring investments to expand, upgrade, maintain or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, capital spending for property, plant and equipment totaled $74.5 million and $58.0 million, respectively, intangible asset purchases totaled $6.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and contributions to EMI totaled $0.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively. The increase in capital spending was mainly related to the Kings Landing Project, which is expected to be completed in mid-2025. Management believes its existing gathering, processing and transmission infrastructure capacity and future planned projects are capable of fulfilling its midstream contracts to service its customers.
The Company anticipates its existing capital resources will be sufficient to fund the future capital expenditures for EMI pipelines and the Company’s existing infrastructure assets over the next 12 months. For further information on EMIs, refer to
Note 6—Equity Method Investments in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $23.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. The change in the operating cash flows reflected (i) a decrease in net income including noncontrolling interest of $16.1 million; (ii) an increase in adjustments related to non-cash items of $12.9 million, which was mainly driven by increases in unfavorable derivative fair value adjustments of $20.2 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $19.1 million, partially offset by decreases in distribution from unconsolidated affiliates of $13.9 million, derivatives settlements of $8.5 million and loss on disposal of assets of $4.2 million; and (iii) an increase in working capital of $26.4 million.
Investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $198.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by net cash used in the Barilla Draw Acquisition of $178.4 million and higher capital spending for property, plant and equipment of $16.6 million and intangible assets of $4.7 million. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $2.4 million.
Financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $88.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was primarily comprised of net proceeds from the long-term debt, Revolving Credit Facility and A/R Facility of $211.7 million, partially offset by cash dividends of $123.2 million paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Common Units, compared with net cash used in financing activities of $86.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was primarily comprised of net payments to the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility of $47.0 million and cash dividends of $39.5 million paid to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Common Units.
Dividend
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company made cash dividend payments of $123.2 million to holders of Class A Common Stock and Common Units and $0.4 million was reinvested in shares of Class A Common Stock by the Reinvestment Holders.
On April 17, 2025, the Board declared a cash dividend of $0.78 per share on the Company’s Class A Common Stock which will be payable to stockholders on April 25, 2025. The Company, through its ownership of the general partner of the Partnership, declared a distribution of $0.78 per Common Unit from the Partnership to the holders of Common Units, which will be payable on May 2, 2025. As described in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as the context requires, dividends paid to holders of Class A Common Stock and distributions paid to holders of Common Units may be referred to collectively as “dividends.”
Share Repurchase Program
In February 2023, the Board approved a share repurchase program (“Repurchase Program”), authorizing discretionary purchases of the Company’s Class A Common Stock up to $100 million in the aggregate. In May 2025, the Board approved a $400 million increase to the previously announced Repurchase Program, pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase the Company’s Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $500 million. Repurchases may be made at management’s discretion from time to time, in accordance with applicable securities laws, on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions and may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. Privately negotiated repurchases from affiliates are also authorized under the Repurchase Program, subject to such affiliates’ interest and other limitations. The repurchases will depend on market conditions and may be discontinued at any time without prior notice.
For three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not repurchase any of its outstanding shares.

There is no assurance that the financial condition of banks with lending commitments to the Company and its subsidiaries will not deteriorate. The Company closely monitors the ratings of the banks in the Company’s bank group. Having a large bank group allows the Company to mitigate the potential impact of any bank’s failure to honor its lending commitment.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2025, there were no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Please refer to information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates included in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Commission on March 3, 2025.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
The Company is exposed to various market risks, including the effects of adverse changes in commodity prices and credit risk as described below. The Company continually monitors its market risk exposure, including the impact and developments related to global geopolitical issues, foreign and domestic trade policies under the Trump Administration and monetary policy addressing the interest rate and inflation trend, which continued to have significant impact on volatility and uncertainties in the financial markets during the first quarter of 2025.
Commodity Price Risk
The results of the Company’s operations may be affected by the market prices of oil and natural gas. A portion of the Company’s revenue is directly tied to local crude, natural gas, NGLs and condensate prices in the Permian Basin. Fluctuations in commodity prices also impact operating cost elements both directly and indirectly. For example, commodity prices directly impact costs such as power and fuel, which are expenses that increase or decrease in line with changes in commodity prices. Commodity prices also affect industry activity and demand, thus indirectly impacting the cost of items such as labor and equipment rentals. Management regularly reviews the Company’s potential exposure to commodity price risk and uses financial or physical arrangements to mitigate potential volatility. Refer to
Note 11—Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion regarding our hedging strategies and objectives.
Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had interest bearing debt, net of deferred financing costs, with principal amounts of $3.72 billion. We are not exposed to changes in interest rates with respect to our senior unsecured notes due in 2028 and 2030 as these are fixed-rate obligations. The interest rates for the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Credit Facility and the A/R Facility are variable, which exposes the Company to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in interest rates. Accordingly, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and the ability to make cash distributions could be adversely affected by significant increases in interest rates. A 1.0% increase or decrease in interest rates would change our annualized interest expense by approximately $16.9 million for the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan Credit Facility and the A/R Facility, based on our outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2025.
To mitigate interest rate risk exposure, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had two interest rate swap contracts with total notional amounts of $1.70 billion maturing on May 31, 2025 that pay a fixed rate ranging from 4.38% to 4.48% and seven interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts of $525.0 million maturing on December 31, 2025 that pay a fixed rate ranging from 3.02% to 4.06%. Refer to
Note 11—Derivatives and Hedging Activities in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion regarding our hedging strategies and objectives.
Credit Risk
The Company is subject to credit risk resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by, or the insolvency or liquidation of, third-party customers. Any increase in nonpayment and nonperformance by, or the insolvency or liquidation of, the Company’s customers could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of March 31, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting and Administrative Officer, who serves as the principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting and Administrative Officer concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the applicable rules and forms of the SEC. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting and Administrative Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As disclosed in
Note—2 Business Combinations in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we acquired Durango on June 24, 2024, and its internal control over financial reporting has been fully integrated into the Company’s control environment effective January 1, 2025 and is now within the scope of our internal controls over financial reporting.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
For further information regarding legal proceedings, refer to Note 15—Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business and results of operations may be adversely affected by uncertainty and changes in U.S. trade policies, including tariffs, trade agreements or other trade restrictions imposed by the U.S. or other governments. For example, on March 12, 2025, the U.S. government imposed a 25% tariff on steel imports, and on April 2, 2025, the U.S. government announced a 10% tariff on product imports from almost all countries and individualized higher tariffs on certain other countries. Several tariff announcements have been followed by announcements of limited exemptions and temporary pauses. These actions have caused substantial uncertainty and volatility in financial markets and may result in retaliatory measures on U.S. goods. Retaliatory measures might affect export of oil and gas products and have adverse impact on domestic productions and prices, which might affect our results of operations adversely.
Our business requires access to steel and other materials to construct and maintain our pipelines and other midstream assets. Any imposition of or increase in tariffs on imports of steel or other materials, as well as corresponding price increases for such materials available domestically, could increase our construction costs and our costs to maintain our assets. To the extent that we are unable to pass all or any such cost increases on to our customers, such cost increases could adversely affect our returns on investment. Higher materials costs could also diminish our ability to develop new projects at acceptable returns, particularly during times of economic uncertainty, and limit our ability to pursue growth opportunities.
Tariffs or other trade restrictions may lead to continuing uncertainty and volatility in U.S. and global financial and economic conditions and commodity markets, declining consumer confidence, significant inflation and diminished expectations for the economy, and ultimately reduced demand for our and our customers’ products and services. Such conditions could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and cash flows. Also, disruptions and volatility in the financial markets may lead to adverse changes in the availability, terms and cost of capital. Changes in tariffs and trade restrictions can be announced with little or no advance notice. The adoption and expansion of tariffs or other trade restrictions, increasing trade tensions, or other changes in governmental policies related to taxes, tariffs, trade agreements or policies, are difficult to predict, which makes attendant risks difficult to anticipate and mitigate. If we are unable to navigate further changes in U.S. or international trade policy, it could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
For other risk factors, please refer to Part II, Item 1A — “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed on March 3, 2025.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
There was no unregistered sale of equity securities or repurchase activities during the three month ended March 31, 2025.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Trading Arrangements
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, none of our directors or officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) adopted, terminated or modified a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement (as each term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K).
Special RSUs
On May 7, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved a compensation strategy whereby certain executives of the Company (including the Company’s named executive officers) will receive a portion of their base pay for the remainder of 2025 in the form of restricted stock units that will be settled in Company common stock (the “Special RSUs”) evidenced by a Form of Special RSU Agreement.
Specifically, the CEO will receive 100% of his remaining base salary in the form of Special RSUs, EVPs will receive at least 50% of their base salaries in the form of Special RSUs, and SVPs will receive at least 40% of their base salaries in the form of Special RSUs.
VPs will be eligible at their discretion to convert a percentage of their base salary and independent members of the Board will be eligible to elect to convert their remaining 2025 quarterly cash payments into Special RSUs evidenced by a Form of Special RSU Agreement for independent directors. Recipients will be eligible to earn dividend equivalent rights with respect to the Special RSUs.
The Special RSUs will cliff vest on January 1, 2026. If a recipient of Special RSUs ceases to provide service to or employment with the Company for any reason, other than in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Special RSU award agreement), a pro-rata portion of the recipient’s Special RSUs will vest, calculated based on (i) the number of days the recipient was providing services to the Company between May 1, 2025 and the date of the termination, divided by (ii) the total number of days between May 1, 2025 and January 1, 2026. If a recipient ceases to provide services in connection with a Change of Control, all of the Special RSUs will vest in full. In certain limited circumstances measured as of January 1, 2026, recipients may receive a true-up grant based on the approval of the Compensation Committee.
The foregoing descriptions do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to Form of Special RSU Agreement and the Form of Special RSU Agreement for independent directors, copies of which will be filed on the Company's next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Exhibit 10.5 4936-4840-9872 SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT This Separation and Release Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Kinetik Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Robert T. Carpenter (“Employee”). Employee and the Company are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” WHEREAS, Employee is a participant in the Kinetik Holdings Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”); WHEREAS, Employee retired from the Company effective as of February 28, 2025 (the “Separation Date”); WHEREAS, the Company desires to treat Employee’s retirement as an eligible “Qualifying Termination” pursuant to the terms of the Severance Plan; WHEREAS, Employee has outstanding equity awards under the Kinetik Holdings Inc. 2019 Omnibus Compensation Plan (the “LTIP”); WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that Employee shall receive the sum of $946,946 paid in accordance with the terms of the Severance Plan, which severance payments and benefits are conditioned upon Employee’s execution, delivery and non-revocation of this Agreement; and WHEREAS, the Parties wish to resolve any and all claims that Employee has or may have against the Company and the Company Parties (as defined below), including any claims that Employee has or may have arising from or relating to Employee’s employment, or the end of Employee’s employment, with any Company Party. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and benefits set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Employee and the Company, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 1. Separation from Employment; Resignations. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Employee’s employment with the Company ended as of the Separation Date and that, as of the Separation Date, Employee was no longer employed by any Company Party. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that, as of the Separation Date, Employee automatically resigned (i) as General Counsel, Assistant Secretary and Chief Compliance Officer of the Company and (ii) as an officer of the Company and each of their respective Affiliates (as defined below) for which Employee served as an officer. 2. Separation Payments and Benefits. Provided that Employee: (x) executes this Agreement on or after the Separation Date and returns a signed copy of it to the Company, care of Alexandra Hernandez, so that it is received no later than the close of business on the date that is twenty-one (21) days after Employee receives this Agreement, and it is not subsequently revoked by Employee in accordance with Section 5; and (y) satisfies the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, then:
2 4936-4840-9872 (a) Employee shall receive a payment in the amount of $946,946 to be paid in a lump sum no later than the Company’s first regularly scheduled pay date that occurs on or after the date that is 45 days following Separation Date; and (b) Employee’s outstanding and unvested equity awards previously granted pursuant to the LTIP (the “Outstanding Awards”) shall continue to be eligible to vest following the Separation Date and may become payable in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Consulting Agreement by and between Employee and the Company effective as of the Separation Date (the “Consulting Agreement”), subject to Employee’s continued service pursuant to the Consulting Agreement and continued compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the consideration described in this Section 2 represents the entirety of the amounts Employee is eligible to receive as severance pay and benefits from the Company or any other Company Affiliate, including under the LTIP and the Severance Plan. 3. Complete Release of Claims. (a) In exchange for the consideration received by Employee herein, which consideration Employee was not entitled to but for Employee’s entry into this Agreement, Employee hereby releases, discharges and forever acquits the Company and its Affiliates (as defined below) and subsidiaries, and each of the foregoing entities’ respective past, present and future members, partners (including general partners and limited partners), directors, trustees, officers, managers, employees, agents, attorneys, heirs, legal representatives, insurers, benefit plans (and their fiduciaries, administrators and trustees), and the successors and assigns of the foregoing, in their personal and representative capacities (collectively, the “Company Parties”), from liability for, and hereby waives, any and all claims, damages, or causes of action of any kind related to Employee’s ownership of any interest in any Company Party, Employee’s employment with any Company Party, the termination of such employment, and any other acts or omissions related to any matter occurring on or prior to the date that Employee executes this Agreement, including (i) any alleged violation through such date of: (A) any federal, state or local anti- discrimination law or anti-retaliation law, regulation or ordinance including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code, as amended and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended; (B) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”); (C) the Immigration Reform Control Act, as amended; (D) the National Labor Relations Act, as amended; (E) the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended; (F) any federal, state or local wage and hour law; (G) the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (including as amended by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); (H) any other local, state or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or (I) any public policy, contract, tort, or common law claim; (ii) any allegation for costs, fees, or other expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in or with respect to a Released Claim; (iii) any and all rights, benefits or claims Employee may have under any employment contract, severance plan, incentive compensation plan, or equity based plan with any Company Party (including any award agreement) or to any ownership interest in any Company Party, including the Severance Plan other than the Consulting Agreement, the LTIP and the Outstanding Awards; and (iv) any claim for compensation or benefits of any kind not expressly set forth in this Agreement (collectively, the “Released Claims”). This Agreement is not intended to indicate that
3 4936-4840-9872 any such claims exist or that, if they do exist, they are meritorious. Rather, Employee is simply agreeing that, in exchange for any consideration received by him pursuant to Section 2, any and all potential claims of this nature that Employee may have against the Company Parties, regardless of whether they actually exist, are expressly settled, compromised and waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Released Claims do not include (I) any rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses incurred in connection with the same, or directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage that Employee has under Delaware law, the charter, bylaws, other organizational documents and insurance policies of any Company Party or any agreement with any Company Party; and (II) any rights to enforce the terms of this Agreement, including those in Section 2 of this Agreement. THIS RELEASE INCLUDES MATTERS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE SOLE OR PARTIAL NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER GROSS OR SIMPLE) OR OTHER FAULT, INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OF ANY OF THE COMPANY PARTIES. Notwithstanding this release of liability, nothing in this Agreement prevents Employee from filing any non-legally waivable claim (including a challenge to the validity of this Agreement) with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or comparable state or local agency or participating in (or cooperating with) any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC or comparable state or local agency or cooperating in any such investigation or proceeding; however, Employee understands and agrees that Employee is waiving any and all rights to recover any monetary or personal relief or recovery from a Company Party as a result of such EEOC or comparable state or local agency or proceeding or subsequent legal actions. Further, nothing in this Agreement prohibits or restricts Employee from filing a charge or complaint with, or cooperating in any investigation with, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or any other securities regulatory agency or authority (each, a “Government Agency”). This Agreement does not limit Employee’s right to receive an award for information provided to a Government Agency. Further, in no event shall the Released Claims include (i) any claim which arises after the date that this Agreement is executed by Employee or (ii) any claim to vested benefits under an employee benefit plan that is subject to ERISA and that cannot be waived pursuant to ERISA. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any Person (as defined below), any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such Person where “control” shall have the meaning given such term under Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time. For purposes of this Agreement, “Person” shall mean any individual, natural person, corporation (including any non-profit corporation), general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, joint venture, estate, trust, company (including any company limited by shares, limited liability company, or joint stock company), incorporated or unincorporated association, governmental authority, firm, society or other enterprise, organization, or other entity of any nature. (b) Employee hereby represents and warrants that, except for any claims reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission, as of the time Employee executes this Agreement, Employee has not brought or joined any lawsuit or filed any charge or claim against any of the Company Parties in any court or before any Government Agency or arbitrator for or with respect to a matter, claim, or incident that occurred or arose out of one or more occurrences that took place on or prior to the time at which Employee signs this Agreement. Employee warrants and represents that (i) he is the sole owner of each and every claim, cause of action, and
4 4936-4840-9872 right compromised, settled, released or assigned pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement and has not previously assigned, sold, transferred, conveyed, or encumbered same; (ii) he has the full right, power, capacity, and authority to enter into and execute this Agreement; and (iii) he fully understands this Agreement releases any and all past claims regardless of whether he is now aware of such claims. 4. Employee’s Representations. (a) Employee represents that Employee has received all leaves (paid and unpaid) that Employee was owed or could be owed by the Company as of the date that Employee executes this Agreement. Employee further represents that (with the exception of any unpaid base salary and benefits earned in the pay period in which the Separation Date occurred, any remaining short term incentive bonus for 2024 and the Outstanding Awards, if still unpaid or outstanding) Employee has received all wages, bonuses and other compensation, been provided all benefits and been afforded all rights and been paid all sums that Employee is owed or has been owed by the Company or any other Company Party, including all vested payments or shares arising out of all incentive plans and any other bonus arrangements. (b) By executing and delivering this Agreement, Employee expressly acknowledges that: (i) Employee has carefully read this Agreement; (ii) No material changes have been made to this Agreement since it was first provided to Employee and Employee has had at least 21 days to consider this Agreement before the execution and delivery hereof to Company; (iii) Employee is receiving, pursuant to this Agreement, consideration in addition to anything of value to which he is already entitled, and Employee is not otherwise entitled to such additional consideration as set forth in this Agreement, but for his entry into this Agreement; (iv) Employee has been advised, and hereby is advised in writing, to discuss this Agreement with an attorney of Employee’s choice and Employee has had an adequate opportunity to do so prior to executing this Agreement; (v) Employee fully understands the final and binding effect of this Agreement; the only promises made to Employee to sign this Agreement are those stated herein; and Employee is signing this Agreement knowingly, voluntarily and of Employee’s own free will, and that Employee understands and agrees to each of the terms of this Agreement; (vi) The only matters relied upon by Employee and causing Employee to sign this Agreement are the provisions set forth in writing within the four corners of this Agreement; and (vii) No Company Party has provided any tax or legal advice regarding this Agreement and Employee has had an adequate opportunity to receive sufficient tax and legal
5 4936-4840-9872 advice from advisors of Employee’s own choosing such that Employee enters into this Agreement with full understanding of the tax and legal implications thereof. (c) Other than matters previously disclosed to the board of directors of the Company and outside auditors, Employee is not aware of any material act or omission on the part of any Company employee (including Employee), director or agent that may have violated any applicable law or regulation or otherwise exposed the Company or any other Company Party to any liability, whether criminal or civil, whether to any government, individual, shareholder or other entity. 5. Revocation Right. Notwithstanding the initial effectiveness of this Agreement, Employee may revoke the delivery (and therefore the effectiveness) of this Agreement within the seven-day period beginning on the date Employee executes this Agreement (such seven day period being referred to herein as the “Release Revocation Period”). To be effective, such revocation must be in writing signed by Employee and must be received by the Company, care of Alexandra Hernandez, and delivered via e-mail to ahernandez@kinetik.com, before 11:59 p.m., central time, on the last day of the Release Revocation Period. If an effective revocation is delivered in the foregoing manner and timeframe, the release of claims set forth in Section 3 above will be of no force or effect, Employee will not receive the consideration set forth in Section 2 above, and the remainder of this Agreement will be in full force and effect. 6. Affirmation of Restrictive Covenants. Employee acknowledges and agrees that he has continuing obligations to the Company and its Affiliates, including obligations with respect to confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement, pursuant to award agreements, the Severance Plan, or other agreements entered into between the Parties (the “Restrictive Covenants”). In entering into this Agreement, Employee specifically acknowledges the validity, binding effect, and enforceability of such restrictive covenants and expressly reaffirms Employee’s commitment to abide by (and agrees that he will abide by) the terms of such Restrictive Covenants. In addition, in consideration of the payment of any amounts and the provision of the benefits specified in Section 2, the Company or its successor may require Employee to enter into a reasonable restrictive covenant agreement, including a non-competition agreement, as reasonably determined by the Company at any point during the 12 months following the Separation Date. 7. No Waiver. No failure by any Party hereto at any time to give notice of any breach by any other Party of, or to require compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. 8. Applicable Law. This Agreement is entered into under, and shall be governed for all purposes by, the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. 9. Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Parties agree that any term or provision (or part thereof) of this Agreement that renders such term or provision (or part thereof) or any other term or provision of this Agreement (or part thereof) invalid or unenforceable in any respect shall be modified to the extent necessary to avoid rendering such term or provision
6 4936-4840-9872 (or part thereof) invalid or unenforceable, and such modification shall be accomplished in the manner that most nearly preserves the benefit of the Parties’ bargain hereunder. 10. Withholding of Taxes and Other Employee Deductions. The Company may withhold from any payments made pursuant to Section 2 hereof all federal, state, local, and other taxes and withholdings as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling. 11. Continued Cooperation. Following the Separation Date, Employee will provide the Company and, as applicable, the other Company Parties, with assistance, when reasonably requested by the Company, with respect to any matters related to Employee’s job responsibilities and otherwise providing information Employee obtained during the provision of the duties Employee performed for the Company and the other Company Parties, subject to reimbursement of Employee’s reasonable expenses incurred in complying with such requests for assistance. 12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including portable document format (.pdf) and facsimile counterparts), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same Agreement. 13. Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and each other Company Party that is not a signatory hereto, as each other Company Party that is not a signatory hereto shall be a third-party beneficiary of Employee’s release of claims, representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement. 14. Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary this Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the applicable Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder (collectively, “Section 409A”), including the exceptions thereto, and shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, payments provided under this Agreement may only be made upon an event and in a manner that complies with Section 409A or an applicable exemption. Any payments under this Agreement that may be excluded from Section 409A either as separation pay due to an involuntary separation from service, as a short-term deferral, or otherwise shall be excluded from Section 409A to the maximum extent possible. For purposes of Section 409A, any installment payments provided under this Agreement shall each be treated as a separate payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representations that the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement are compliant with Section 409A, and in no event shall Employee be reimbursed by the Company for all or any portion of any taxes, penalties, interest, or other expenses that may be incurred by Employee on account of non-compliance with Section 409A. 15. Amendment; Entire Agreement. This Agreement may not be changed orally but only by an agreement in writing agreed to and signed by Employee and the Company. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with regard to the subject matters hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement complements (and does not supersede or replace) any other agreements between the Company or any of its Affiliates and Employee that impose restrictions on Employee with regard to confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation, or non- disparagement (including the award agreements referenced in Section 6 above).
7 4936-4840-9872 There are no oral agreements between Employee and the Company. No promises or inducements have been offered except as set forth in this Agreement. Employee and the Company acknowledge that, in executing this Agreement, neither Party has relied upon any representations or warranties of any other Party. No promise or agreement which is not expressed in this Agreement has been made by the Company to Employee or by Employee to the Company in executing this Agreement. Each Party agrees that any omissions of fact concerning the matters covered by this Agreement are of no consequence in the decision to execute this Agreement. 16. Interpretation. The section headings in this Agreement have been inserted for purposes of convenience and shall not be used for interpretive purposes. The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder,” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The use herein of the word “including” following any general statement, term, or matter shall not be construed to limit such statement, term, or matter to the specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items, or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation”, “but not limited to”, or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather shall be deemed to refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term or matter. The word “or” as used herein is not exclusive and is deemed to have the meaning “and/or.” References in this Agreement to any agreement, instrument, or other document mean such agreement, instrument, or other document as amended, supplemented, and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and not prohibited by this Agreement. No provision, uncertainty or ambiguity in or with respect to this Agreement shall be construed or resolved against any Party hereto, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by each of the Parties hereto and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to fairly accomplish the purposes and intentions of the Parties. 17. Return of Property. Employee acknowledges and agrees that he will return to the Company all documents, files (including electronically stored information), and other materials constituting or reflecting confidential or proprietary information of the Company or any other Company Party, and any other property belonging to the Company or any other Company Party, including all computer files, electronically stored information, and other materials, and Employee shall not maintain a copy of any such materials in any form. 18. Assignment. This Agreement is personal to Employee and may not be assigned by Employee. The Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without Employee’s consent, including to any other Company Party and to any successor (whether by merger, purchase, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the equity, assets, or businesses of the Company.

Exhibit 10.6 4921-4348-7505 1 CONSULTING AGREEMENT This CONSULTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and effective as of March 1, 2025 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Kinetik Holdings Inc., (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and Robert T. Carpenter (“Consultant”). The Company and Consultant are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party.” WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain Consultant as an independent contractor to provide the services described herein for the period provided in this Agreement; and WHEREAS, Consultant is willing to serve as an independent contractor and to provide such services, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter provided. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: 1. Engagement of Consultant; Term. The Company agrees to engage Consultant commencing as of the Effective Date, as an independent contractor, and Consultant agrees to render consulting services from the Effective Date through March 1, 2027 (such date, the “Expiration Date”), unless earlier terminated as set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) on or after March 1, 2026 either Party may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days written notice to the other Party, and (ii) the Company may terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice to Consultant if such termination is for Cause. The Company shall have the right to direct Consultant to perform no further Services after delivery of notice of termination. As used herein, “Cause” shall exist in the event of: (x) Consultant’s material breach of this Agreement, material lack of cooperation, material failure to act in accordance with the Services (as defined below) or obligations of this Agreement, or material breach of any restrictive covenants contained within any agreement between the Company and Consultant, (y) any act or omission by Consultant that causes, or would reasonably be expected to cause, material harm to the Company, or (z) any material misrepresentation made by Consultant herein. And, for purposes of the outstanding equity awards (the “Outstanding Awards”) previously granted to Consultant under the Kinetik Holdings Inc. 2019 Omnibus Compensation Plan (the “LTIP”), “Cause” shall be as defined as provided for in any applicable award agreements for such Outstanding Awards in addition to the circumstances in (x), (y) and (z), above. This Agreement may be extended beyond the Expiration Date only if such extension is memorialized by a written agreement signed by both Parties. The period between the Effective Date and the expiration or termination of Consultant’s services hereunder is referred to as the “Term.” 2. Services. During the Term, Consultant shall provide such consulting services in the midstream energy sector (the “Services”) as may be reasonably requested of Consultant from time to time by the Company’s President & Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), the General Counsel (the “GC”), and/or such other person as may be designated by the CEO from time to time (the “Designee”). Such Services shall be provided on a monthly average of 75 hours or less. The Services shall include Consultant providing services, consultation and advice with respect to legal matters of the Company and its affiliates and working with the GC regarding transition matters. Consultant shall liaise directly with the CEO or any such Designee from time to time regarding
Exhibit 10.6 4921-4348-7505 2 the status of, and other aspects related to, the Services. Consultant shall devote his time and efforts as may be required to perform the Services in a proper and expeditious manner and shall perform the Services in accordance with all applicable law and regulations. The Parties intend that, in the performance of the Services, communications received and made by Consultant with respect to legal matters of the Company and its affiliates, including communications with the Company’s and its affiliates’ legal counsel, shall be privileged and confidential. The Company has determined that Consultant is uniquely qualified to perform the Services, and Consultant agrees that, during the Term, he will not provide any services to any other person or entity that otherwise prevent or limit his ability to perform the Services. Consultant shall coordinate the furnishing of Services in such a way as to generally conform to the business schedules of the Company. 3. Fees and Expenses. (a) As full compensation for Consultant providing the Services through the Expiration Date, and the rights granted to the Company in this Agreement, the Company shall pay Consultant the total annual amount of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($200,000) (the “Fee”), which such Fee shall be paid to Consultant pursuant to the Company’s normal accounts payable practices and shall be payable on the first day of each month. (b) The Company shall reimburse Consultant for Consultant’s reasonable out- of-pocket business-related expenses actually incurred in the performance of Consultant’s duties under this Agreement so long as Consultant timely submits all documentation for such expenses, as required by Company policy in effect from time to time. Any such reimbursement of expenses shall be made by the Company upon or as soon as practicable following receipt of such documentation (but in any event not later than the close of Consultant’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense is incurred by Consultant). In no event shall any reimbursement be made to Consultant for any expenses incurred after the date of termination of this Agreement. (c) Consultant shall continue to be eligible to vest in his Outstanding Awards during the Term and Consultant’s period of service for vesting purposes in connection with the LTIP shall be calculated inclusive of the Term as if Consultant had continued performing services as an employee through the applicable vesting dates. Except as provided in this Section 3(c), the vesting and payment of such awards, if at all, shall be exclusively governed by and in accordance with the terms of the individual award agreements and the LTIP. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining whether Consultant has resigned with “Good Reason” (as defined in the Outstanding Awards), if applicable to such Outstanding Award, such resignation shall only constitute “Good Reason” if the Company fails to perform in accordance with this Agreement or the Separation Agreement entered into between Consultant and the Company on February 28, 2025 (the “Separation Agreement”) and any diminution in title or responsibilities, or reduction in salary, bonus or equity incentive opportunities that occurs in connection with the termination of Consultant’s employment with the Company and the entering into of the Separation Agreement or this Agreement shall expressly not constitute Good Reason for purposes of the Outstanding Awards. Further, in the event this Agreement and Consultant’s Services are terminated by the Company prior to the Expiration Date, the Outstanding Awards shall be accelerated in full and deemed vested. Settlement, in such case, shall be in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreement for such Outstanding Award.
Exhibit 10.6 4921-4348-7505 3 (d) Consultant acknowledges and agrees he shall not be entitled to any additional payment or benefits from the Company other than the Fee, expense reimbursements pursuant to Section 3(b) and any vesting or other payments made or that Consultant becomes entitled to pursuant to the LTIP, as applicable. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company is not required to withhold federal, state or foreign income, gross receipts, or similar taxes from payments to Consultant hereunder or to otherwise comply with any state, federal or foreign law concerning the collection of income, gross receipts, or similar taxes at the source of payment of wages, and (ii) the Company is not required under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act or the Federal Insurance Contribution Act to pay or withhold taxes for unemployment compensation or for social security on behalf of Consultant with respect to payments made by the Company hereunder. The Company shall issue Consultant an IRS Form 1099-NEC, and Consultant shall be solely responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes in connection with the payments made by the Company hereunder. Consultant shall be solely responsible for making all applicable tax filings and remittances with respect to amounts paid to Consultant pursuant to this Agreement and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, and the foregoing entities’ respective representatives for all claims, damages, costs and liabilities arising from Consultant’s failure to do so. (e) In the event the Consultant’s services (or this Agreement) are terminated by the Company in accordance with Section 1 (and other than a termination for Cause), Consultant shall be entitled to the Fee, less any portion of the Fee that has previously been paid to Consultant. Such remaining Fee shall be payable in a single lump sum upon the first regular pay date following such termination. 4. Independent Contractor. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Consultant is an independent contractor of the Company. In no event shall Consultant be deemed to be an employee of the Company or any of its affiliates. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that, as a non-employee, Consultant is not eligible for any benefits sponsored by the Company or any of its affiliates. Consultant shall not at any time communicate or represent to any third party, or cause or knowingly permit any third-party to assume, that Consultant is an employee or agent of the Company or any of its affiliates or, unless otherwise authorized in writing by the CEO, have any authority to bind the Company or its affiliates or act on behalf of the Company or its affiliates. It is not the purpose or intention of this Agreement or the Parties to create, and the same shall not be construed as creating, any partnership, partnership relation, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship. 5. Intellectual Property. All results and proceeds of the Services performed under this Agreement (collectively, the “Deliverables”) and all other writings, technology, inventions, discoveries, processes, techniques, methods, ideas, concepts, research, proposals, and materials, and all other work product of any nature whatsoever, that are created, prepared, produced, authored, edited, modified, conceived, or reduced to practice in the course of performing the Services or other work performed in connection with the Services or this Agreement (collectively, and including the Deliverables, “Work Product”), and all patents, copyrights, trademarks (together with the goodwill symbolized thereby), trade secrets, know-how, and other confidential or proprietary information, and other intellectual property rights (collectively “Intellectual Property Rights”) therein, shall be owned exclusively by the Company. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any and all Work Product that may qualify as “work made for hire” as defined in the
Exhibit 10.6 4921-4348-7505 4 Copyright Act of 1976 (17 U.S.C. § 101) is hereby deemed “work made for hire” for the Company and all copyrights therein shall automatically and immediately vest in the Company. To the extent that any Work Product does not constitute “work made for hire,” Consultant hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company and its successors and assigns, for no additional consideration, Consultant’s entire right, title, and interest in and to such Work Product and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, including the right to sue, counterclaim, and recover for all past, present, and future infringement, misappropriation, or dilution thereof. To the extent any copyrights are assigned under this Section 5, Consultant hereby irrevocably waives in favor of the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all claims Consultant may now or hereafter have in any jurisdiction to all rights of paternity or attribution, integrity, disclosure, and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as “moral rights” in relation to all Work Product to which the assigned copyrights apply. As between Consultant and the Company, the Company is, and will remain, the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to any documents, specifications, data, know-how, methodologies, software, and other materials provided to Consultant by the Company (“Company Materials”), and all Intellectual Property Rights therein. Consultant has no right or license to reproduce or use any Company Materials except solely during the Term to the extent necessary to perform the Services. All other rights in and to the Company Materials are expressly reserved by the Company. Consultant has no right or license to use the Company’s trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, symbols, or brand names. 6. Confidential Information and Affirmation of Restrictive Covenants. (a) Consultant acknowledges that Consultant will have access to information that is treated as confidential, privileged, and proprietary by the Company and its affiliates, including, without limitation, the existence and terms of this Agreement, information subject to the legal privilege, trade secrets, technology, and information pertaining to business operations and strategies of the Company and its affiliates, in each case whether spoken, written, printed, electronic, or in any other form or medium (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Any Confidential Information that Consultant accesses or develops in connection with the Services, including but not limited to any Work Product, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this clause. Consultant agrees, at all times, both during the Term and after termination of this Agreement, to treat all Confidential Information as strictly confidential, not to disclose Confidential Information or permit it to be disclosed, in whole or part, to any third party without the prior written consent of the Company in each instance, and not to use any Confidential Information for any purpose except as required in the performance of the Services. Consultant shall notify the Company immediately in the event Consultant becomes aware of any loss or disclosure of any Confidential Information. Consultant acknowledges that, in connection with the Services, Consultant shall have access to information that is subject to legal privilege, including the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege, and litigation privilege, and Consultant agrees that, such privilege shall belong to the Company and its affiliates, and Consultant shall, at all times, maintain the confidentiality of any legally privileged information. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than through Consultant’s breach of this Agreement; or (ii) is communicated to Consultant by a third party that had no confidentiality obligations with respect to such information. (b) Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required by applicable law, or regulation, or pursuant to the valid order of
Exhibit 10.6 4921-4348-7505 5 a court of competent jurisdiction or an authorized government agency, provided that the disclosure does not exceed the extent of disclosure required by such law, regulation or order. Consultant agrees to provide written notice of any such order to the Company within two (2) days of receiving such order, but in any event sufficiently in advance of making any disclosure to permit the Company to contest the order or seek confidentiality protections, as determined in the Company’s sole discretion. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Consultant will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for any disclosure of a trade secret that: (i) is made: (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. If Consultant files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Consultant may disclose the Company’s trade secrets to Consultant’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if Consultant: (i) file any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (ii) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Consultant from lawfully: (i) initiating communications directly with, cooperating with, providing information to, causing information to be provided to, or otherwise assisting in an investigation by, any governmental agency (including the Department of Justice, Department of Labor, Securities and Exchange Commission, any Inspector General, and any other governmental agency, commission or regulatory authority) regarding a possible violation of any law or (ii) making disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of applicable law. Nothing herein will require any individual or entity to disclose to any Party that is has made such a disclosure. (d) Consultant acknowledges and agrees that he has continuing obligations to the Company and its affiliates, including obligations with respect to confidentiality, non- competition, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement, pursuant to award agreements, the Kinetik Holdings Inc. Executive Severance Plan, or other agreements entered into between the Parties (the “Restrictive Covenants”). In entering into this Consulting Agreement, Consultant specifically acknowledges the validity, binding effect, and enforceability of such restrictive covenants and expressly reaffirms Consultant’s commitment to abide by (and agrees that he will abide by) the terms of such Restrictive Covenants. In addition, as a condition to payment of any amounts under Section 3 or otherwise, the Company or its successor may require Consultant to enter into a reasonable restrictive covenant agreement, including a non-competition agreement, as determined by the Company at any point during the Term hereof. 7. Consultant’s Representations and Warranties. Consultant represents and warrants to the Company that Consultant has the right to enter into this Agreement, to grant the rights granted herein and to perform fully all of Consultant’s obligations in this Agreement, and entering into this Agreement with the Company and performance of the Services do not and will not conflict with or result in any breach or default under any other agreement to which Consultant is subject. Consultant shall perform the Services in a professional and workmanlike manner in accordance with generally recognized industry standards for similar services and Consultant shall devote sufficient resources to ensure that the Services are performed in a timely and reliable manner. Consultant agrees to perform the Services in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including by maintaining all licenses, permits, and registrations
Exhibit 10.6 4921-4348-7505 6 required to perform the Services. Consultant expressly promises, acknowledges, and agrees that, in no event will Consultant violate any obligation that Consultant has to any prior employer or other third party during the Term or in the course of performing any Services, and in no event will Consultant use or disclose any confidential information belonging to any prior employer or other third party in the course of performing Services. Consultant promises, represents, and agrees that Consultant shall not introduce documents or other materials containing confidential information of any prior employer or other third party to the premises or property (including computers and computer systems) of the Company or any of its affiliates. 8. Indemnity; Advancement of Expenses. (a) In the event that Consultant is made a party or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (a “Proceeding”), other than any Proceeding initiated by Consultant or the Company or its affiliates related to any contest or dispute between Consultant and the Company or any of its affiliates with respect to this Agreement or Consultant’s engagement hereunder, by reason of the fact that Consultant provided the Services, Consultant shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law from and against any liabilities, costs, claims, and expenses, including all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defense of any Proceeding, INCLUDING IN A PROCEEDING BASED ON CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF CONSULTANT’S NEGLIGENCE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant shall not be entitled to any such indemnification in the event the liability arises from Consultant’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. (b) The Company shall advance to Consultant all expenses incurred in connection with any Proceeding for which Consultant is entitled to indemnity pursuant to this Agreement within thirty (30) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement from Consultant requesting such advance, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by Consultant. Consultant agrees that he shall not be entitled to retain, and he shall reimburse the Company for all expenses advanced to Consultant, in the event that it shall be ultimately determined that Consultant is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company for such expenses under this Agreement or applicable law. The Company retains the sole right to approve the counsel selected by Consultant for which expense advancement is sought. Consultant shall submit the name and qualifications of the proposed counsel to the Company for approval, which such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by the Company. If the Company does not approve the proposed counsel, Consultant shall select alternative counsel and seek the Company’s approval in the same manner until approved counsel has been identified. Consultant shall give the Company prompt written notice of any Proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses may be sought and shall cooperate with the Company in the defense of any Proceeding. 9. Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement is entered into under, and shall be governed for all purposes by, the laws of the state of Texas without reference to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Any dispute, controversy or claim between Consultant on the one hand, and the Company or any of its affiliates, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved in state or federal court, as applicable, located in Houston, Texas.
