| Statement |
|---|
| We have continued to execute on the plans we have shared with the rating agencies and the credit profile for our largest customers continues to improve |
| Our integrated wellhead to market pipeline asset portfolio is positioned to serve growing demand markets from two world-class dry gas basins and features a deep organic growth project backlog that is grounded in supportive long-term market fundamentals |
| I think for us, Louisiana CCS is demonstrating to the market that we are very capable to execute a CCS project in a disciplined way |
| So I think we're well positioned to achieve that later in the year |
| I'd also like to commend the team for their excellent safety performance |
| Over the course of our history, both pre spin-off from DTE and post spin-off, we have a proven track record of strong performance even in downward commodity price cycles |
| So we're in a really advantaged position of having that deep organic backlog, which typically drive higher returns for capital deployment |
| Putting us in an advantaged position to quickly ramp supply to serve the coming LNG demand wave beginning in 2025 |
| The way I think about it, and as we laid out in the deck, we've got this really robust organic backlog of opportunities and everything that we detailed in the disclosure are actively being worked |
| We have a sizable organic project backlog, consisting of traditional midstream and tangible energy transition opportunities, which will deliver long-term value as we grow EBITDA and provide a reliable, growing dividend to our shareholders |
| But the fundamentals around every one of these projects that we detailed are strong, and we've got line of sight to these expansions |
| From a balance sheet perspective, we are pleased with our positioning on leverage and progress towards obtaining an investment grade credit rating |
| It provides superior market access and connectivity to the Gulf Coast LNG corridor |
| LEAP offers tremendous value to our current and future customers, and we feel confident in our ability to gain additional market share |
| Longer term, we are targeting adjusted EBITDA growth to be 5% to 7%, which is supported by our strong organic backlog advantaged asset positions, our strong balance sheet and high level of take-or-pay contracts |
| In summary, I am very proud of the DTM team |
| Our safety total recordable incident rate has consistently improved each year for a cumulative 83% improvement since spin |
| Our assets are well positioned to support these long-term energy fundamentals and priorities |
| This positions DTM as having a best-in-class rating |
| We have improved our MSCI rating two notches with our current rating at AA, the second highest rating possible |
| Our ESG program has also made great strides since the spin and is in a very strong position today |
| We have maintained a strong balance sheet and financial flexibility with our current leverage in a very comfortable position |
| Since the spin-off, we've achieved significant growth while maintaining a high quality pure-play natural gas asset portfolio |
| We have delivered 9% annual adjusted EBITDA growth which has outpaced gas focused midstream peers |
| One of our goals from the onset of the spin was to achieve an investment grade credit rating, and we are in a very strong position to achieve that this year |
| Driving this growth has been our high quality natural gas pipeline segment, which represented less than 50% of our business mix at spin and has grown to represent about two-thirds of our business today, ranking DTM as having the highest natural gas pipeline segment mix in the peer group |
| So I'd say the first item would be we're currently on positive outlook at Finch (ph) |
| The two way that we laid out in the guidance, we feel really confident in that two way |
| We have also consistently grown the dividend, including today's announced increase of 7% |
| It's been a very exciting three years |
| Statement |
|---|
| Our Gathering segment results were $8 million lower than the prior quarter, due to a $6 million environmental reserve adjustment recognized in the third quarter, and modestly lower volumes in the Haynesville partially offset by higher volumes in the Northeast |
| And like I mentioned earlier with John's question, we've certainly calibrated to what I'll call the current realities in the commodity space that may affect some of our customers and factored in the behaviors that we saw last summer when we experienced some really weak cash prices |
| You would had asked about potential for shut-ins, last year, when we saw a very weak pricing in the summertime, we did see some modest shut-ins in our portfolio, and we've taken that learning last year and reflected that in our guide for this year |
| No problem |
| And if you look at what's under construction and FID (ph) in terms of incremental demand coming over the balance of this decade, there's definitely a need for significant incremental pipeline capacity |
