(f) | Several of our contracts contain minimum volume commitments that allow us to charge the customer a deficiency payment if the customer’s actual throughput volumes are less than its minimum volume commitments for the applicable period. In certain contracts, if a customer makes a deficiency payment, that customer may be entitled to offset gathering fees or processing fees in one or more subsequent periods to the extent that such customer's throughput volumes in those periods exceed its minimum volume commitment. Depending on the specific terms of the contract, revenue under these agreements may be classified as deferred revenue and recognized once all contingencies or potential performance obligations associated with these related volumes have either been satisfied through the gathering or processing of future excess volumes of natural gas, or are expected to expire or lapse through the passage of time pursuant to terms of the applicable agreement. During December 2015 and 2014, we invoiced QEP Field Services, LLC (“QEPFS”) customers for deficiency payments. We did not recognize $13 million and $10 million of revenue for 2015 and 2014, respectively, however, we are entitled to the cash receipt from such billing. The timing and amount of deficiency billings vary based on actual shortfall and terms under the applicable agreements. |

There are a variety of ways to calculate these measures; other companies may calculate these in different ways. We calculate average revenue per barrel as revenue divided by total throughput (barrels). We calculate average revenue per MMBtu as revenue divided by total volume (MMBtu). We calculate average keep-whole fee per gallon as revenue divided by total volume (gallons). Investors and analysts use these financial measures to help analyze and compare companies in the industry on the basis of operating performance. These financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to segment operating income, revenues and operating expenses or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |
