ETRN AND EQM ANNOUNCE FIRST QUARTER 2019 RESULTS

Pittsburgh, PA (April 30, 2019) – Equitrans Midstream Corporation (NYSE: ETRN) and EQM Midstream Partners, LP (NYSE: EQM) today announced first quarter 2019 results.

Q1 2019 Highlights:


•	Delivered first quarter operating and financial results ahead of guidance


•	Generated 90% of transmission operating revenue from firm reservation fees


•	Generated 49% of gathering operating revenue from firm reservation fees


•	Completed strategic acquisition of 60% of Eureka Midstream and 100% of Hornet Midstream in April 2019


•	Simplified structure and eliminated the EQM incentive distribution rights (IDRs)

“We had a solid start to the year as we moved quickly to simplify our structure, executed a strategic bolt-on acquisition, and delivered first quarter results ahead of guidance," said Thomas F. Karam, chief executive officer of ETRN and EQM. "While we continue execution of our growth strategy, we will maintain our financial prudence by leveraging our asset footprint to enhance operating efficiencies and to deliver innovative natural gas transportation and water services solutions to our customers."

Diana Charletta, chief operating officer, added, "With our many first quarter accomplishments, 2019 is proving to be another exciting and transformational year for our company. Our E-Train team stepped up to lead the due diligence and integration efforts for the recent acquisition and continued to operate our existing assets safely and efficiently. During the quarter, we managed modest variations in our gathered volume by focusing on cost controls. Additionally, we continued to concentrate on the completion of our major growth projects, which will provide our customers with increased flexibility and access to premium markets."

FIRST QUARTER 2019 RESULTS

ETRN announced net income attributable to ETRN of $56.3 million for the first quarter 2019, and ETRN will receive $134 million in cash from its ownership in EQM. Also during the quarter, ETRN directly incurred $5 million of expenses related to separation and other transaction costs.

For the first quarter 2019, net income attributable to EQM was $251.9 million, adjusted EBITDA was $331.8 million, net cash provided by operating activities was $161.0 million, and distributable cash flow was $266.8 million. The Non-GAAP Disclosures section of this earnings news release provides reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures from their most comparable GAAP financial measure.

For the first quarter 2019, EQM operating revenue increased by $19 million, or 5%, compared to the same quarter last year. The increase in revenue was related primarily to higher contracted firm transmission and gathering capacities and was partly offset by lower water services revenue. Operating expenses increased by $17 million compared to the first quarter 2018, with $4 million of the increase related to separation and other transaction costs and the remaining increase related primarily to higher system throughput and additional assets placed in service, consistent with the growth in the business.

EQM's first quarter 2018 results have been retrospectively recast to include the pre-acquisition results of Rice Midstream Partners, LP (RMP) and the Olympus gathering system and 75% of the Strike Force gathering system (Drop-Down Entities), each of which came under common control in 2017.

QUARTERLY DIVIDEND AND DISTRIBUTION

ETRN

For the first quarter 2019, ETRN will pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per share on May 23, 2019 to ETRN shareholders of record at the close of business on May 14, 2019.

EQM

For the first quarter 2019, EQM will pay a quarterly cash distribution of $1.145 per common unit on May 14, 2019 to EQM common unitholders of record at the close of business on May 3, 2019.

EQM EXPANSION AND ONGOING MAINTENANCE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Expansion

Expansion capital expenditures and capital contributions to Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP JV) were $322 million for the first quarter 2019.

(2)	Forecast includes 60% of Eureka Midstream Holdings, LLC’s (Eureka Midstream) expansion capital expenditures and 100% of Hornet Midstream Holdings, LLC’s (Hornet Midstream) expansion capital expenditures.

Ongoing Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance capital expenditures are cash expenditures made to maintain, over the long term, EQM operating capacity or operating income. EQM ongoing maintenance capital expenditures net of expected reimbursements were $9 million for the first quarter 2019. EQM forecasts full-year 2019 ongoing maintenance capital expenditures of $65 million.

OUTLOOK

The ETRN and EQM financial forecast provided below reflects the acquisition of 60% of Eureka Midstream and 100% of Hornet Midstream, which closed on April 10, 2019. Financial results of the Eureka Midstream joint venture will be consolidated in EQM and ETRN financial statements for accounting purposes.

ETRN

In 2019, ETRN expects to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.45 per share, resulting in an annual dividend of $1.80 per share. ETRN expects to increase the quarterly per share dividend annually during the first quarter of every year. ETRN reiterates an annual dividend growth target of 8%.

EQM

•	Current project backlog expected to be funded with retained cash flow and debt capacity

Due to the seasonal nature of some transmission and storage services, primarily from utility customer contracts, second quarter 2019 transmission revenue from these contracts and services are expected to be lower than first quarter by approximately $25 million.



$MM	Q2 2019
Net Income attributable to EQM	$200 - $220
Adjusted EBITDA	$305 - $325

BUSINESS AND PROJECT UPDATES

Water Services

In the first quarter 2019, EQM generated approximately $8 million of water EBITDA and forecasts $100 – $115 million of water EBITDA for the full-year 2019. During the quarter, EQM delivered 369 million gallons of fresh water, and forecasts approximately 2.7 – 3.3 billion gallons of fresh water delivery for full-year 2019. Based on the timing of customers' well schedules, a majority of the fresh water services revenue is expected in the second half of 2019.

Mountain Valley Pipeline

The MVP JV is working through several alternatives to address the project’s remaining legal and regulatory challenges. Although completing the project during 2019 is unlikely, the MVP JV continues to target a full in-service date for the fourth quarter 2019 at an overall project cost of $4.6 billion, of which EQM would fund approximately $2.2 billion.

MVP Southgate

On November 6, 2018, MVP Southgate filed its certificate application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). On March 22, 2019, the FERC issued a Notice of Schedule for the project, which includes the expected delivery of the Final Environmental Impact Statement in December 2019. The approximately 70-mile pipeline is expected to receive gas from the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) in Virginia and transport to new delivery points in Rockingham and Alamance Counties, North Carolina. With a total project cost estimate of $450 – $500 million, MVP Southgate is backed by a 300 MMcf per day firm capacity commitment from PSNC Energy and as designed, the pipeline has expansion capabilities up to 900 MMcf per day of total capacity. Subject to FERC approval, MVP Southgate has a targeted in-service date during the fourth quarter of 2020. EQM has a 47.2% ownership interest in the MVP Southgate project and will operate the pipeline.

Hammerhead Pipeline

Hammerhead is a gathering header pipeline that will span approximately 64 miles from southwestern Pennsylvania to Mobley, West Virginia, where both the MVP and the Ohio Valley Connector originate. With a total project cost estimate of $555 million, the pipeline is expected to provide 1.6 Bcf per day of capacity, of which 1.2 Bcf per day is contracted under a firm capacity commitment by EQT Corporation (EQT). In the first quarter 2019, EQM invested approximately $55 million in Hammerhead and expects to invest approximately $300 million in the project for the remainder of 2019. Hammerhead is targeting an in-service during the fourth quarter 2019.

Eureka Midstream and Hornet Midstream Acquisition

On April 10, 2019, EQM completed the acquisition of a 60% interest in Eureka Midstream and a 100% interest in Hornet Midstream for total consideration of $1,030 million, composed of approximately $860 million in cash and approximately $170 million of assumed pro-rata debt. EQM funded the acquisition with $1.2 billion of newly issued Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Units.

Eureka Midstream assets consist of a 190-mile gathering header pipeline system in Ohio and West Virginia that services both dry Utica and wet Marcellus production. The Hornet pipeline is a 15-mile, high-pressure gathering system in West Virginia that connects to the Eureka system.

Simplification Transaction

On February 22, 2019, ETRN, EQM and certain of their affiliates closed the transaction to exchange and eliminate the EQM IDRs and restructure the economic general partner interest in EQM for 80 million newly issued EQM common units, 7 million newly issued EQM Class B units, and a non-economic general partner interest. The EQM Class B units are not entitled to receive cash distributions from EQM until they become convertible into EQM common units. At the holder's option, the Class B units are convertible into EQM common units in three tranches: 2.5 million units convertible on April 1, 2021; 2.5 million units convertible on April 1, 2022; and 2 million units convertible on April 1, 2023. Subsequent to the simplification transaction, ETRN ownership in EQM consists of 117.2 million EQM common units, 7 million EQM Class B units, and the non-economic general partner interest.

Shared Asset Transaction

On March 31, 2019, EQM acquired certain assets from ETRN for approximately $49.7 million. The assets primarily support EQM’s operations and include information technology systems, equipment, and facilities. The purchase price reflects the net book value of the in-service assets and any expenditures made with respect to assets not yet in-service. Prior to the transaction, EQM made quarterly payments to ETRN and incurred SG&A expense related to the use of the in-service assets. Subsequent to the transaction, EQM will incur depreciation expense related to those assets.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURES

EQM Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow

As used in this earnings news release, EQM adjusted EBITDA means net income attributable to EQM plus net interest expense, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, payments on EQM's preferred interest in EQT Energy Supply, LLC (the Preferred Interest), non-cash long-term compensation expense and separation and other transaction costs less equity income, AFUDC – equity and adjusted EBITDA of assets prior to acquisition. As used in this earnings news release, distributable cash flow means EQM adjusted EBITDA less net interest expense excluding interest income on the Preferred Interest, capitalized interest and AFUDC – debt and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures net of expected reimbursements, as adjusted, as applicable, for the noncontrolling interest in Eureka Midstream. Distributable cash flow should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount of cash that EQM has available for distributions from operating surplus or that EQM plans to distribute, as adjusted, as applicable, for the noncontrolling interest in Eureka Midstream, and is not intended to be a liquidity measure. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of ETRN's and EQM’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, use to assess:


•	EQM’s operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry without regard to historical cost basis or, in the case of adjusted EBITDA, financing methods;


•	the ability of EQM’s assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to EQM unitholders;


•	EQM’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and


•	the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

ETRN and EQM believe that adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow provide useful information to investors in assessing ETRN's and EQM’s results of operations and financial condition. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income, net cash provided by operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities. Additionally, because adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may be defined differently by other companies in ETRN's and EQM's industry, ETRN's and EQM’s definitions of adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing the utility of the measures. The table below reconciles adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow from net income and net cash provided by operating activities as derived from EQM's statements of consolidated operations and cash flows to be included in EQM’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

ETRN and EQM are unable to provide a reconciliation of EQM's projected adjusted EBITDA from projected net income, the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, because EQM does not provide guidance with respect to the intra-year timing of its or the MVP JV's capital spending, which impact AFUDC – debt and – equity and equity earnings, among other items, that are reconciling items between adjusted EBITDA and net income. The timing of capital expenditures is volatile as it depends on weather, regulatory approvals, contractor availability, system performance and various other items. EQM provides ranges for the forecasts for the second quarter of 2019 and forecasts reflecting rounding to the nearest $100 million for the 2019, 2020 and 2021 fiscal years of net income and adjusted EBITDA to allow for the variability in the timing of cash receipts and disbursements, capital spending and the impact on the related reconciling items, many of which interplay with one another. Therefore, the reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA from projected net income is not available without unreasonable effort.

EQM believes that calculating distributable cash flow without deducting separation and other transaction costs provides investors with greater insight into the period-to-period ability of EQM’s ongoing assets and operations to generate cash flow. If separation and other transaction costs were deducted from the calculation, EQM’s distributable cash flow for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019 would have been $263.3 million and would not have changed for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Water EBITDA

As used in this earnings news release, water EBITDA means the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of EQM’s water services business and reflects water opportunities as a result of the Eureka Midstream and Hornet Midstream acquisition. Water EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and external users of ETRN's and EQM’s consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, use to assess the impact of EQM’s water services business on ETRN's and EQM’s operating performance and EQM’s ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures. Water EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to EQM’s water operating income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Water EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because the measure excludes some, but not all, items that affect water operating income. Additionally, because water EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in ETRN's and EQM’s industry, the definition of water EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing the utility of the measure. The table below reconciles water EBITDA from EQM's water operating income as derived from EQM's statements of consolidated operations to be included in EQM's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2019.

EQM has not provided a reconciliation of projected water EBITDA from projected water operating income, the most comparable measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. EQM does not allocate certain costs, such as interest expenses, to individual assets within its business segments. Therefore, the reconciliation of projected water EBITDA from projected water operating income is not available without unreasonable effort.
