Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

As of September 30, 2018, the Company determined EQGP and EQM to be variable interest entities. In addition, as of December 31, 2017, RMP was also a variable interest entity. As discussed in Note B, on July 23, 2018, pursuant to the Midstream Merger Agreement, RMP and RMP's general partner were acquired by EQM and became wholly owned subsidiaries of EQM. Through EQT's ownership and control of EQGP's general partner, EQM's general partner and RMP's general partner, EQT has or had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of EQGP, EQM and RMP. In addition, through EQT's limited partner interest in EQGP and EQGP's general partner interest, limited partner interest and IDRs in EQM, EQT has the obligation to absorb the losses of EQGP and EQM and the right to receive benefits from EQGP and EQM, in accordance with such interests. Furthermore, through EQT's limited partner interest and IDRs in RMP, EQT had the obligation to absorb the losses of RMP and the right to receive benefits from RMP, in accordance with such interests. As EQT has or had a controlling financial interest in, and is the primary beneficiary of, EQGP, EQM and RMP, EQT consolidates EQGP, EQM and did consolidate RMP. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for additional information related to the consolidated variable interest entities.

The risks associated with the operations of EQGP, EQM and RMP are discussed in their respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as updated by any Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. See further discussion of the impact that EQT's ownership and control of EQGP, EQM and RMP have or had on EQT's financial position, results of operations and cash flows included in EQT's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, including in the section captioned "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
