3. DIVESTITURES
Summit Utica Sale. On March 22, 2024, the Partnership completed the disposition of Summit Utica, LLC (“Summit Utica”) to a subsidiary of MPLX LP for a cash sale price of $625.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments (the “Utica Sale”). Summit Utica was the owner of (i) approximately 36% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in OGC, (ii) approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in OCC, together with OGC, Ohio Gathering and (iii) midstream assets located in the Utica Shale. Ohio Gathering was the owner of a natural gas gathering system and condensate stabilization facility located in Belmont and Monroe counties in the Utica Shale in southeastern Ohio.
During the quarterly period ended March 31, 2024, the Partnership recognized a total gain on the disposition of Summit Utica of $212.5 million based on total cash proceeds received of $625.0 million and net assets sold of $412.5 million. A portion of the cash proceeds was used to reduce amounts outstanding under the ABL Facility and pay the costs and expenses in connection with the Asset Sale Offer (as defined below; see Note 8 - Debt, for additional information) and are subject to final working capital adjustments.
The $625.0 million sale price did not discretely list values for OGC, OCC or the Partnership’s midstream assets located in the Utica Shale. Using fair value methods allowed by GAAP, the Partnership derived a preliminary fair value estimate for the disposed assets and then determined the appropriate gain recognition amount for each disposal to include in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The estimated fair values were determined utilizing a discounted cash flow technique based on estimated revenues, costs, capital expenditures and an appropriate discount rate. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the fair value measurement is deemed to use Level 3 inputs. These fair value estimates are preliminary, and
subject to change and such changes could be material. Based on these preliminary fair values, the Partnership recognized a gain on the disposition of the Utica midstream business of $85.6 million, which is recorded within gain on sale of business in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, and a gain of $126.3 million related to the disposition of Ohio Gathering, which is recorded within gain on sale of Ohio Gathering in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Mountaineer Midstream System. On May 1, 2024, the Partnership completed the sale of its Mountaineer Midstream system, to Antero Midstream LLC for a cash sale price of $70.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments (the “Mountaineer Transaction”). Mountaineer Midstream was the owner of midstream assets located in the Marcellus Shale. Prior to closing the Mountaineer Transaction, the Partnership sold related compression assets located in the Marcellus Shale to a compression service provider for cash consideration of approximately $5 million in April 2024.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Partnership recognized an impairment of $68.0 million in connection with the Mountaineer Transaction and the sale of compression assets based on their estimated fair value and net assets of approximately $143.0 million.
