NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization and Business Description

The accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements apply to Crestwood Equity Partners LP and Crestwood Midstream Partners LP, unless otherwise indicated. References in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “ours,” “our company,” the “partnership,” the “Company,” "Crestwood Equity," “CEQP,” and similar terms refer to either Crestwood Equity Partners LP itself or Crestwood Equity Partners LP and its consolidated subsidiaries, as the context requires. Unless otherwise indicated, references to "Crestwood Midstream" and "CMLP" refer to Crestwood Midstream Partners LP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 27, 2017. The financial information as of March 31, 2017 , and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , is unaudited. The consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 , were derived from the audited balance sheets filed in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Organization

Crestwood Equity is a publicly-traded (NYSE: CEQP) Delaware limited partnership that develops, acquires, owns or controls, and operates primarily fee-based assets and operations within the energy midstream sector. We provide broad-ranging infrastructure solutions across the value chain to service premier liquids-rich natural gas and crude oil shale plays across the United States. We own and operate a diversified portfolio of crude oil and natural gas gathering, processing, storage and transportation assets and connect fundamental energy supply with energy demand across North America. Crestwood Equity is a holding company and all of its consolidated operating assets are owned by or through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Crestwood Midstream, a Delaware limited partnership.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and include the accounts of all consolidated subsidiaries after the elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. In management’s opinion, all necessary adjustments to fairly present our results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been made and all such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Significant Accounting Policies

There were no material changes in our significant accounting policies from those described in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Below is an update of our accounting policies related to Goodwill and Unit-Based Compensation, and a description of Crestwood Equity's 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan.

Goodwill . The goodwill impairments recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016 , primarily resulted from increasing the discount rates utilized in determining the fair value of the reporting units considering the significant, sustained decrease in the market price of our common units and the continued decrease in commodity prices and its impact on the midstream industry and our customers during that period. We utilized the income approach to determine the fair value of our reporting units given the limited availability of comparable market-based transactions as of March 31, 2016, and we utilized discount rates ranging from 10% to 19% in applying the income approach to determine the fair value of our reporting units with goodwill as of March 31, 2016.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes goodwill impairments of certain of our reporting units recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016 ( in millions ):



Gathering and Processing
Marcellus	$	8.6
Storage and Transportation
COLT	13.7
Marketing, Supply and Logistics
Supply and Logistics	65.5
Storage and Terminals	14.1
Trucking	7.8
Total	$	109.7

Unit-Based Compensation . Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including the classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and the presentation on the statement of cash flows. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Crestwood Equity 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan . In February 2017, Crestwood Equity issued 381,704 performance units under the Crestwood Equity Partners LP Long Term Incentive Plan (Crestwood LTIP). The performance units are designed to provide an incentive for continuous employment to certain key employees. The vesting of performance units is subject to the attainment of certain performance and market goals over a three-year period, and entitle a participant to receive common units of Crestwood Equity without payment of an exercise price upon vesting. As of March 31, 2017, we had total unamortized compensation expense of approximately $10.6 million related to these performance units, which we expect will be amortized during the next three years. We recognized compensation expense of approximately $0.4 million under the Crestwood LTIP related to these performance units during the three months ended March 31, 2017, which is included in general and administrative expenses on our consolidated statements of operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

As of March 31, 2017 , the following accounting standards had not yet been adopted by us:

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance. We anticipate utilizing the modified retrospective method

to adopt the provisions of this standard effective January 1, 2018 and are currently applying the provisions of the standard to our aggregated listing of gathering and processing, storage and transportation, and marketing, supply and logistics revenue contracts that involve revenue generating activities that occur after January 1, 2018. We are also in the process of implementing appropriate changes to our processes, systems and controls to support the accounting and disclosure requirements of the new standard. We are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements, especially on contractual arrangements that involve either non-cash consideration or involve reimbursements of capital expenditures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which revises the accounting for leases by requiring certain leases to be recognized as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, and requiring companies to disclose additional information about their leasing arrangements. We expect to adopt the provisions of this standard effective January 1, 2019 and are currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments , which clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. We expect to adopt the provisions of this standard effective January 1, 2018 and are currently evaluating the impact that this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment , which changes the annual quantitative goodwill impairment test to eliminate the current two step method and replace it with a single test to determine if goodwill is impaired and the amount of any impairment. We expect to adopt the provisions of this standard effective January 1, 2020 and are currently evaluating the impact that this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 - Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Crestwood Permian Basin Holdings LLC

In October 2016, Crestwood Infrastructure, our wholly-owned subsidiary, and an affiliate of First Reserve formed a joint venture, Crestwood Permian Basin Holdings LLC (Crestwood Permian), to fund and own the Nautilus gathering system (described below) and other potential investments in the Delaware Permian. As part of this transaction, we transferred to the joint venture 100% of the equity interest of the Crestwood entity that will construct and own the Nautilus gathering system. We manage and we account for our 50% ownership interest in Crestwood Permian, which is a VIE, under the equity method of accounting as we exercise significant influence, but do not control Crestwood Permian and we are not its primary beneficiary due to First Reserve’s rights to exercise control over the entity.

Crestwood Permian has a long-term agreement with SWEPI LP (SWEPI), a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc, to construct, own and operate a natural gas gathering system in SWEPI’s operated position in the Delaware Permian. SWEPI has dedicated to Crestwood Permian approximately 100,000 acres and gathering rights for SWEPI’s gas production across a large acreage position in Loving, Reeves and Ward Counties, Texas. The initial gathering system (the Nautilus gathering system) is designed for gas production of approximately 250 MMcf/d and will include 194 miles of low pressure gathering lines, 36 miles of high pressure trunklines, and centralized compression facilities which are expandable over time as production increases. Crestwood Permian will provide gathering, dehydration, compression and liquids handling services on a fixed fee basis. In conjunction with this growth project, we granted SWEPI an option to purchase up to a 50% equity interest in Crestwood Permian’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Crestwood Permian Basin LLC, that will own the Nautilus gathering system. The purchase option expires on September 1, 2017.

Table of Contents

Under the joint venture, First Reserve will fund up to $37.5 million of the capital requirements during the early-stage build-out of the Nautilus gathering system, after which we will fund the next $37.5 million , and then both parties will fund the remaining capital requirements on a pro rata basis. The targeted initial in-service date is on or before July 1, 2017. We did not make any capital contributions to Crestwood Permian during the three months ended March 31, 2017 .

CEQP issued a guarantee in conjunction with the Crestwood Permian gas gathering agreement with SWEPI described above, under which CEQP has agreed to fund 100% of the costs to build the Nautilus gathering system (which is currently estimated to cost approximately $180 million ) if Crestwood Permian fails to do so. We do not believe this guarantee is probable of resulting in future losses based on our assessment of the nature of the guarantee, the financial condition of the guaranteed party and the period of time that the guarantee has been outstanding, and as a result, we have not recorded a liability on our balance sheet at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 .

Note 5 – Risk Management

We are exposed to certain market risks related to our ongoing business operations. These risks include exposure to changing commodity prices. We utilize derivative instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, which is discussed below. Additional information related to our derivatives is discussed in Note 6 .

Commodity Derivative Instruments and Price Risk Management

Risk Management Activities

We sell NGLs and crude oil to energy related businesses and may use a variety of financial and other instruments including forward contracts involving physical delivery of NGLs, heating oil and crude oil. We periodically enter into offsetting positions to economically hedge against the exposure our customer contracts create. Certain of these contracts and positions are derivative instruments. We do not designate any of our commodity-based derivatives as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Our commodity-based derivatives are reflected at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, and changes in the fair value of these derivatives that impact the consolidated statements of operations are reflected in costs of product/services sold. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , the impact to our consolidated statements of operations related to our commodity-based derivatives reflected in costs of product/services sold was a loss of $5.4 million and a gain of $1.2 million . We attempt to balance our contractual portfolio in terms of notional amounts and timing of performance and delivery obligations. This balance in the contractual portfolio significantly reduces the volatility in costs of product/services sold related to these instruments.

Table of Contents

Commodity Price and Credit Risk

Notional Amounts and Terms

The notional amounts and terms of our derivative financial instruments include the following at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 :



	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
	Fixed Price Payor	Fixed Price Receiver	Fixed Price Payor	Fixed Price Receiver
Propane, crude and heating oil (MMBbls)	12.8	14.0	13.1	15.1

Notional amounts reflect the volume of transactions, but do not represent the amounts exchanged by the parties to the financial instruments. Accordingly, notional amounts do not reflect our monetary exposure to market or credit risks.

All contracts subject to price risk had a maturity of 36 months or less; however, 81% of the contracted volumes will be delivered or settled within 12 months .

Credit Risk

Inherent in our contractual portfolio are certain credit risks. Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by suppliers, customers or financial counterparties to a contract. We take an active role in managing credit risk and have established control procedures, which are reviewed on an ongoing basis. We attempt to minimize credit risk exposure through credit policies and periodic monitoring procedures as well as through customer deposits, letters of credit and entering into netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain financial transactions, as deemed appropriate. The counterparties associated with our price risk management activities are primarily energy marketers and propane retailers, resellers and dealers.

Certain of our derivative instruments have credit limits that require us to post collateral. The amount of collateral required to be posted is a function of the net liability position of the derivative as well as our established credit limit with the respective counterparty. If our credit rating were to change, the counterparties could require us to post additional collateral. The amount of additional collateral that would be required to be posted would vary depending on the extent of change in our credit rating as well as the requirements of the individual counterparty. The aggregate fair value of all commodity derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a liability position at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $4.8 million and $13.9 million . At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we posted less than $0.1 million of collateral for our commodity derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features. In addition, at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we had a New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) related net derivative asset position of $4.6 million and $14.3 million , for which we posted $0.9 million and $4.2 million of cash collateral in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we also received collateral of $2.0 million and $4.3 million in the normal course of business. All collateral amounts have been netted against the asset or liability with the respective counterparty and are reflected in our consolidated balance sheets as assets and liabilities from price risk management activities.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

The accounting standard for fair value measurement establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•

Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, listed equities and US government treasury securities.


•	Level 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various

Table of Contents

assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as over the counter (OTC) forwards, options and physical exchanges.


•	Level 3—Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Cash, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments.

Credit Facility

The fair value of the amounts outstanding under our CMLP credit facility approximates the carrying amounts as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , due primarily to the variable nature of the interest rate of the instrument, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Senior Notes

We estimate the fair value of our senior notes primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issuances (representing a Level 2 fair value measurement). The following table reflects the carrying value (reduced for deferred financing costs associated with the respective notes) and fair value of our senior notes ( in millions ):



	March 31, 2017				December 31, 2016
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

2025 Senior Notes	$	491.6	$	511.3	$	—	$	—

Financial Assets and Liabilities

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we held certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which include our derivative instruments related to heating oil, crude oil, and NGLs. Our derivative instruments consist of forwards, swaps, futures, physical exchanges and options.

Our derivative instruments that are traded on the NYMEX have been categorized as Level 1.

Our derivative instruments also include OTC contracts, which are not traded on a public exchange. The fair values of these derivative instruments are determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. These instruments have been categorized as Level 2.

Our OTC options are valued based on the Black Scholes option pricing model that considers time value and volatility of the underlying commodity. The inputs utilized in the model are based on publicly available information as well as broker quotes. These options have been categorized as Level 2.

Our financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Credit Facility

At March 31, 2017 , Crestwood Midstream had $644.4 million of available capacity under its credit facility considering the most restrictive debt covenants in its credit agreement. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , Crestwood Midstream's outstanding standby letters of credit were $70.8 million and $64.0 million . Borrowings under the CMLP credit facility accrue interest at prime or Eurodollar based rates plus applicable spreads, which resulted in interest rates between 3.15% and 5.25% at March 31, 2017 and 3.21% and 5.25% at December 31, 2016 . The weighted-average interest rate as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was 3.36% and 3.23% .

Crestwood Midstream is required under its credit agreement to maintain a net debt to consolidated EBITDA ratio (as defined in its credit agreement) of not more than 5.50 to 1.0, a consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense ratio (as defined in its credit agreement) of not less than 2.50 to 1.0, and a senior secured leverage ratio (as defined in its credit agreement) of not more than 3.75 to 1.0. At March 31, 2017 , the net debt to consolidated EBITDA was approximately 3.92 to 1.0, the consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense was approximately 3.90 to 1.0, and the senior secured leverage ratio was 0.94 to 1.0.

The CMLP credit facility allows Crestwood Midstream to increase its available borrowings under the facility by $350.0 million , subject to lender approval and the satisfaction of certain other conditions, as described in the CMLP credit agreement. In March 2017, Crestwood Midstream obtained the lender consent necessary under its credit agreement to borrow up to $325 million to fund the repurchase or redemption of senior notes outstanding.

Senior Notes

Repayments . In March 2017, Crestwood Midstream paid approximately $793.5 million to purchase, redeem and/or cancel all of the principal amount outstanding under the 2022 Senior Notes and $325.0 million of the principal amount outstanding under the 2020 Senior Notes. Crestwood Midstream funded the repayments with a combination of net proceeds from the issuance of the 2025 Senior Notes described below and borrowings under the CMLP credit facility. In conjunction with these note repayments, Crestwood Midstream (i) recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $37.3 million (including the write off of approximately $6.8 million of deferred financing costs associated with the 2022 Senior Notes); and (ii) paid $4.8 million and $1.0 million of accrued interest on the 2020 Senior Notes and 2022 Senior Notes, respectively, on the date they were tendered.

In March 2017, Crestwood Midstream delivered the irrevocable notice necessary to redeem the remaining $13.8 million of principal outstanding under the 2020 Senior Notes. In April 2017, Crestwood Midstream paid approximately $14.2 million to redeem the remaining 2020 Senior Notes and recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt associated with the 2020 Senior Notes of approximately $0.3 million . Crestwood Midstream funded the repayment with borrowings under its credit facility.

Table of Contents

2025 Senior Notes . In March 2017, Crestwood Midstream issued $500 million of 5.75% unsecured senior notes due 2025 (the 2025 Senior Notes). The 2025 Senior Notes will mature on April 1, 2025, and interest is payable semiannually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning October 1, 2017. The net proceeds from this offering of approximately $492.0 million were used to repay amounts outstanding under the 2020 Senior Notes and the 2022 Senior Notes.

At March 31, 2017 , Crestwood Midstream was in compliance with all of its debt covenants applicable to the CMLP credit facility and its senior notes.

Note 8 - Earnings Per Limited Partner Unit

Our net income (loss) attributable to Crestwood Equity Partners is allocated to the subordinated and limited partner unitholders based on their ownership percentage after giving effect to net income attributable to the Class A preferred units. We calculate basic net income per limited partner unit using the two-class method. Diluted net income per limited partner unit is computed using the treasury stock method, which considers the impact to net income attributable to Crestwood Equity Partners and limited partner units from the potential issuance of limited partner units.

We exclude potentially dilutive securities from the determination of diluted earnings per unit (as well as their related income statement impacts) when their impact on net income attributable to Crestwood Equity Partners per limited partner unit is anti-dilutive. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , we excluded a weighted-average of 6,807,223 common units (representing preferred units), a weighted-average of 7,117,610 common units (representing Crestwood Niobrara's preferred units), and a weighted-average of 438,789 common units (representing subordinated units). During the three months ended March 31, 2016 , we excluded a weighted-average of 6,212,256 common units (representing preferred units), and a weighted-average of 19,262,780 common units (representing Crestwood Niobrara's preferred units) and a weighted-average of 438,789 common units (representing subordinated units). See Note 9 for additional information regarding the potential conversion of our preferred units and Crestwood Niobrara's preferred units to common units.

Note 9 – Partners’ Capital

Preferred Units

Subject to certain conditions, the holders of the Preferred Units have the right to convert their Preferred Units into (i) common units on a 1-for-10 basis after June 17, 2017, or (ii) a number of common units determined pursuant to a conversion ratio set forth in Crestwood Equity's partnership agreement upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a change in control. The Preferred Units have voting rights that are identical to the voting rights of the common units and will vote with the common units as a single class, with each Preferred Unit entitled to one vote for each common unit into which such Preferred Unit is convertible, except that the Preferred Units are entitled to vote as a separate class on any matter on which all unitholders are entitled to vote that adversely affects the rights, powers, privileges or preferences of the Preferred Units in relation to Crestwood Equity's other securities outstanding.

Legal Proceedings

Simplification Merger Lawsuits . On May 20, 2015, Lawrence G. Farber, a purported unitholder of Crestwood Midstream, filed a complaint in the Southern District of the United States, Houston Division, as a putative class action on behalf of Crestwood Midstream's unitholders, entitled Lawrence G. Farber, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Crestwood Midstream Partners LP, Crestwood Midstream GP LLC, Robert G. Phillips, Alvin Bledsoe, Michael G. France, Philip D. Gettig, Warren H. Gfellar, David Lumpkins, John J. Sherman, David Wood, Crestwood Equity Partners LP, Crestwood Equity GP LLC, CEQP ST Sub LLC, MGP GP, LLC, Crestwood Midstream Holdings LP, and Crestwood Gas Services GP LLC . This complaint alleges, among other things, that Crestwood Midstream's general partner breached its fiduciary duties, certain individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty and due care, and that other defendants aided and abetted such breaches.

On July 21, 2015, Isaac Aron, another purported unitholder of Crestwood Midstream, filed a complaint in the Southern District of the United States, Houston Division, as a putative class action on behalf of Crestwood Midstream's unitholders, entitled Isaac Aron, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated vs. Robert G. Phillps, Alvin Bledsoe, Michael G. France, Philip D. Getting, Warren H. Gfeller, David Lumpkins, John J. Sherman, David Wood, Crestwood Midstream Partners, LP Crestwood Midstream Holdings LP, Crestwood Midstream GP LLC, Crestwood Gas Services GP, LLC, Crestwood Equity Partners LP, Crestwood Equity GP LLC, CEQP ST Sub LLC and MGP GP, LLC. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Crestwood Midstream's general partner and certain individual defendants violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 14a-9 by filing an alleged incomplete and misleading Form S-4 Registration Statement with the SEC.

On August 12, 2015, the defendants filed a motion to consolidate the Farber and Aron cases, which the court granted on September 4, 2015. Farber subsequently dismissed his claims against all the defendants on September 16, 2015. Aron filed a motion for temporary restraining order and requested an expedited preliminary injunction hearing, which had been scheduled for September 23, 2015. On September 22, 2015, however, the parties entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with respect to a proposed settlement of the Aron lawsuit. The settlement contemplated by the MOU is subject to a number of conditions, including notice to the class, limited confirmatory discovery and final court approval of the settlement. In October 2016, the court approved the settlement. On November 7, 2016, a unitholder filed an appeal of the settlement and a hearing is scheduled in June 2017. If the appeal is denied, the settlement will become final. We do not expect the settlement to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

General. We are periodically involved in litigation proceedings. If we determine that a negative outcome is probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable, then we accrue the estimated amount. The results of litigation proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. We could incur judgments, enter into settlements or revise our expectations regarding the outcome of

Table of Contents

certain matters, and such developments could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the period in which the amounts are paid and/or accrued. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , both CEQP and CMLP had less than $0.1 million accrued for outstanding legal matters. Based on currently available information, we believe it is remote that future costs related to known contingent liability exposures for which we can estimate will exceed current accruals by an amount that would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements. As we learn new facts concerning contingencies, we reassess our position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.

Any loss estimates are inherently subjective, based on currently available information, and are subject to management's judgment and various assumptions. Due to the inherently subjective nature of these estimates and the uncertainty and unpredictability surrounding the outcome of legal proceedings, actual results may differ materially from any amounts that have been accrued.

Regulatory Compliance

In the ordinary course of our business, we are subject to various laws and regulations. In the opinion of our management, compliance with current laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Environmental Compliance

Our operations are subject to stringent and complex laws and regulations pertaining to worker health, safety, and the environment. We are subject to laws and regulations at the federal, state, regional and local levels that relate to air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste management and disposal and other environmental matters. The cost of planning, designing, constructing and operating our facilities must incorporate compliance with environmental laws and regulations and safety standards. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures.

During 2014, we experienced three releases totaling approximately 28,000 barrels of produced water on our Arrow water gathering system located on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota. We immediately notified the National Response Center, the Three Affiliated Tribes and numerous other regulatory authorities, and thereafter contained and cleaned up the releases completely and placed the impacted segments of these water lines back into service. In May 2015, we experienced a release of approximately 5,200 barrels of produced water on our Arrow water gathering system, immediately notified numerous regulatory authorities and other third parties, and thereafter contained and cleaned up the releases.

In October 2014, we received data requests from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) related to the 2014 water releases and we responded to the requests during the first half of 2015. In April 2015, the EPA issued a Notice of Potential Violation (NOPV) under the Clean Water Act relating to the largest of the 2014 water releases. We responded to the NOPV in May 2015, and in April 2017, we entered into an Administrative Order on Consent (the Order) with the EPA. The Order requires us to continue to remediate and monitor the impacted area for no less than four years unless all goals of the Order are satisfied earlier. The Order does not preclude the EPA from seeking to impose fines and penalties as a result of the water releases.

On March 3, 2015, we received a grand jury subpoena from the United States Attorney’s Office in Bismarck, North Dakota, seeking documents and information relating to the largest of the three 2014 water releases. We provided the requested information during the second quarter of 2015 and provided key employees to be interviewed by the United States’ Attorney in December 2015. We have not received any further requests for additional information or interviews and it is unclear whether the government will continue to pursue this matter. In August 2015, we received a notice of violation from the Three Affiliated Tribes' Environmental Division related to our 2014 produced water releases on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. The notice of violation imposes fines and requests reimbursements exceeding $1.1 million ; however, the notice of violation was stayed on September 15, 2015, upon our posting of a performance bond for the amount contemplated by the notice and pending the outcome of ongoing settlement discussions with the regulatory agencies asserting jurisdiction over the 2014 produced water releases.

We will continue our remediation efforts to ensure the impacted lands are restored to their prior state. We believe these releases are insurable events under our policies, and we have notified our carriers of these events. We have not recorded an insurance receivable as of March 31, 2017 .

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , our accrual of approximately $2.1 million is based on our undiscounted estimate of amounts we will spend on compliance with environmental and other regulations, and any associated fines or penalties. We estimate that our potential liability for reasonably possible outcomes related to our environmental exposures (including the Arrow water releases described above) could range from approximately $2.1 million to $3.6 million at March 31, 2017 .

Self-Insurance

We utilize third-party insurance subject to varying retention levels of self-insurance, which management considers prudent. Such self-insurance relates to losses and liabilities primarily associated with medical claims, workers' compensation claims and general, product, vehicle and environmental liability. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , CEQP's self-insurance reserves were $17.0 million and $ 15.6 million . We estimate that $10.6 million of this balance will be paid subsequent to March 31, 2018 . As such, CEQP has classified $10.6 million in other long-term liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017 . At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , CMLP's self insurance reserves were $13.7 million and $12.2 million . CMLP estimates that $8.0 million of this balance will be paid subsequent to March 31, 2018 . As such, CMLP has classified $8.0 million in other long-term liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017 .

Guarantees and Indemnifications. We are involved in various joint ventures that sometimes require financial and performance guarantees. In a financial guarantee, we are obligated to make payments if the guaranteed party fails to make payments under, or violates the terms of, the financial arrangement. In a performance guarantee, we provide assurance that the guaranteed party will execute on the terms of the contract. If they do not, we are required to perform on their behalf. We also periodically provide indemnification arrangements related to assets or businesses we have sold. For a further description of our guarantees associated with our joint ventures, see Note 4, and for a further description of our guarantees associated with our assets or businesses we have sold, see our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our potential exposure under guarantee and indemnification arrangements can range from a specified amount to an unlimited dollar amount, depending on the nature of the claim, specificity as to duration, and the particular transaction. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , we have no amounts accrued for these guarantees.

Note 11 – Related Party Transactions

Financial Information

We have three operating and reportable segments: (i) gathering and processing operations; (ii) storage and transportation operations; and (iii) marketing, supply and logistics operations. Our corporate operations include all general and administrative expenses that are not allocated to our reportable segments. We assess the performance of our operating segments based on EBITDA, which is defined as income before income taxes, plus debt-related costs (net interest and debt expense and loss on modification/extinguishment of debt) and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense.

These forward-looking statements include:

•

statements that are not historical in nature, including, but not limited to: (i) our belief that anticipated cash from operations, cash distributions from entities that we control, and borrowing capacity under our credit facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated liquidity needs for the foreseeable future; (ii) our belief that we do not have material potential liability in connection with legal proceedings that would have a significant financial impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; and (iii) our belief that our assets will continue to benefit from the development of unconventional shale plays as significant supply basins; and


•	statements preceded by, followed by or that contain forward-looking terminology including the words “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend” or the negation thereof, or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to, among others, the following factors:


•	our ability to successfully implement our business plan for our assets and operations;


•	governmental legislation and regulations;


•	industry factors that influence the supply of and demand for crude oil, natural gas and NGLs;


•	industry factors that influence the demand for services in the markets (particularly unconventional shale plays) in which we provide services;


•	weather conditions;


•	the availability of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, and the price of those commodities, to consumers relative to the price of alternative and competing fuels;


•	economic conditions;


•	costs or difficulties related to the integration of our existing businesses and acquisitions;


•	environmental claims;


•	operating hazards and other risks incidental to the provision of midstream services, including gathering, compressing, treating, processing, fractionating, transporting and storing energy products (i.e., crude oil, NGLs and natural gas) and related products (i.e., produced water);


•	interest rates;


•	the price and availability of debt and equity financing; and


•	the ability to sell or monetize assets in the current market, to reduce indebtedness or for other general partnership purposes.

For additional factors that could cause actual results to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements, see Part I, Item IA. Risk Factors of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Outlook and Trends

Our business objective is to create long-term value for our unitholders. We expect to create long-term value by consistently generating stable operating margin and improved cash flows from operations by prudently financing our investments, maximizing throughput on our assets, and effectively controlling our operating and administrative costs. Our business strategy depends, in part, on our ability to provide increased services to our customers at competitive fees, including opportunities to expand our services resulting from expansions, organic growth projects and acquisitions that can be financed appropriately.

We have positioned the Company to generate consistent results in a low commodity price environment without sacrificing revenue upside. For example, many of our G&P assets are supported by long-term, core acreage dedications in shale plays that are economic to varying degrees based upon natural gas, NGL and crude oil prices, the availability of infrastructure to flow production to market, and the operational and financial condition of our diverse customer base. We believe the diversity of our

Table of Contents

asset portfolio, the risk and cost sharing nature of our strategic joint ventures, the wide range of services provided by our investments, and our extensive customer portfolio collectively position us to be successful in the current market, which has been impacted by prolonged low commodity prices. In addition, a substantial portion of our midstream investments are based on fixed fee, take-or-pay or minimum volume commitment agreements that ensure a minimum level of cash flow regardless of actual commodity prices or volumetric throughput.

During 2017 and beyond, we will continue to execute on our plan to better position the Company to emerge from this challenging market environment as a stronger, better capitalized company that can sustainably resume growing its distributions. We will remain focused on efficiently allocating capital expenditures, eliminating costs (through increased operating efficiencies and cost discipline) and strengthening our balance sheet. We expect to focus on expansion and greenfield opportunities in the Delaware Permian and the Bakken shale further described in "Segment Highlights" below.

Regulatory Matters

Many aspects of the energy midstream sector, such as crude-by-rail activities and pipeline integrity, have experienced increased regulatory oversight over the past few years. Prior to the 2016 election, we expected the trend of greater regulatory oversight to continue for the foreseeable future, However, the election results and anticipated changes in policy could lessen the degree of regulatory scrutiny we face in the near term.

Segment Highlights

Below is a discussion of events that highlight our core business and financing activities.

Gathering and Processing

Bakken. In the Bakken, we are expanding and upgrading our water handling facilities, increasing natural gas capacity on the system, completing an interconnect with Dakota Access Pipeline, and developing a 30 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) natural gas processing facility and associated pipeline that we expect to place into service in the fourth quarter of 2017. We believe the installation of a gas processing solution on the Arrow system will, among other things, spur greater development activity around the Arrow system, allow us to provide greater flow assurance to our producer customers, and reduce the gas volumes being flared by producers on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. The anticipated cost of this natural gas processing facility and associated pipeline is approximately $115 million. In conjunction with this project, we are negotiating various amendments and extensions with several of our producer customers, and the impact of these contract negotiations is not expected to have a material impact to our 2017 results of operations.

Delaware Permian . In the Delaware Permian, we have identified gathering and processing and transportation opportunities in and around our existing assets. We are evaluating an expansion of our processing capacity in the region and expansion of our interconnection capacity to accommodate greater takeaway options for residue gas and NGLs. We are also developing a crude oil and condensate storage terminal near the Nautilus gathering system that would offer condensate stabilization, truck loading/unloading options and connections to third party pipelines. We continue to believe that we are positioned well to benefit from the continued build-out of this world-class resource.

In September 2016, we entered into a long-term agreement with SWEPI to construct, own and operate a natural gas gathering system in SWEPI's operated position in the Delaware Permian. SWEPI will provide us with a dedication of approximately 100,000 acres and gathering rights for SWEPI gas production across a large acreage position in Loving, Reeves, Ward and Culberson Counties, Texas. The initial gathering system is designed for gas production of approximately 250 MMcf/d and will include 194 miles of low pressure gathering lines, 36 miles of high pressure trunklines, and centralized compression facilities which are expandable over time as production increases. We will provide gathering, dehydration, compression and liquids handling services on a fixed fee basis. Additionally, Shell has the option to purchase up to a 50% equity interest in the system prior to September 1, 2017. We estimate the complete build-out of the gas gathering system will cost approximately $180 million, of which approximately $90 million is anticipated to be spent in 2017. We commenced construction last year, and we expect to place the system into service on or before July 1, 2017.

During the first quarter of 2017, we terminated an agreement with a large producer to develop a three-stream gathering system in Reeves County, Texas. We continue to work with this producer and other producers in the area for the potential development of future expansion projects.

Table of Contents

Through the execution of the strategic efforts described above, we expect to increase the stability and strength of the Company through a continued challenging and competitive market environment, which will position us to achieve our chief business objective to create long-term value for our unitholders.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our critical accounting estimates are consistent with those described in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

We evaluate our overall business performance based primarily on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We do not utilize depreciation, depletion and amortization expense in our key measures because we focus our performance management on cash flow generation and our assets have long useful lives.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA - We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are widely accepted financial indicators of a company's operational performance and its ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures and make distributions. We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to our investors because it allows them to use the same performance measure analyzed internally by our management to evaluate the performance of our businesses and investments without regard to the manner in which they are financed or our capital structure. EBITDA is defined as income before income taxes, plus debt-related costs (net interest and debt expense and loss on modification/extinguishment of debt) and depreciation, amortization and accretion expense. Adjusted EBITDA considers the adjusted earnings impact of our unconsolidated affiliates by adjusting our equity earnings or losses from our unconsolidated affiliates to reflect our proportionate share (based on the distribution percentage) of their EBITDA, excluding impairments. Adjusted EBITDA also considers the impact of certain significant items, such as unit-based compensation charges, losses on long-lived assets, impairments of goodwill, third party costs incurred related to potential and completed acquisitions, certain environmental remediation costs, the change in fair value of commodity inventory-related derivative contracts, and other transactions identified in a specific reporting period. The change in fair value of commodity inventory-related derivative contracts is considered in determining Adjusted EBITDA given that the timing of recognizing gains and losses on these derivative contracts differs from the recognition of revenue for the related underlying sale of inventory that these derivatives relate to. Changes in the fair value of other derivative contracts is not considered in determining Adjusted EBITDA given the relatively short-term nature of those derivative contracts. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, as they do not include deductions for items such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, interest and income taxes, which are necessary to maintain our business. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating cash flow or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA calculations may vary among entities, so our computation may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.

See our reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in Results of Operations below.

Table of Contents

Below is a discussion of the factors that impacted EBITDA by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

Gathering and Processing

EBITDA for our gathering and processing segment increased by approximately $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The comparability of our G&P segment's EBITDA was impacted by an $8.6 million goodwill impairment recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016 related to our Marcellus operations. For a further discussion of our goodwill impairments recorded during 2016, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 2. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, our G&P segment's revenues increased by approximately $139.5 million compared to the same period in 2016, partially offset by an increase in costs of product/services sold of approximately $136.8 million. These increases were primarily driven by our Arrow operations, which experienced a $132.5 million increase in revenues and a $129.8 million increase in its costs of product/services sold during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in Arrow's revenues and costs was primarily driven by higher average prices on Arrow's agreements under which it purchases and sells crude. In addition, we connected 26 wells on our Arrow system during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 13 wells connected during the same period in 2016.

Also contributing to the increase in our G&P segment's revenues were higher product revenues from our Permian operations of approximately $7.6 million and higher costs of product/services sold of approximately $6.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. These increases were primarily due to the impact of a full quarter of production volumes during 2017 as a result of the expansion of our Willow Lake processing plant which was placed into service in February 2016. Our processing volumes were 33 MMcf/d during the three months ended March 31 2017 compared to 21 MMcf/d during the same period in 2016.

Partially offsetting the revenue increases from our Arrow and Permian operations were lower revenues from our Marcellus operations of approximately $4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. We continue to experience a decrease in our gathering and compression volumes on our Marcellus system due to lack of drilling from our primary customer, Antero. Our gathering and compression volumes were each 0.4 Bcf/d during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 0.5 Bcf/d each during the same period in 2016.

Our gathering and processing segment's operations and maintenance expenses were relatively flat during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

Our G&P segment's EBITDA was also impacted by a decrease in earnings from our unconsolidated affiliates of approximately $3.5 million. The decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in revenues from our Jackalope equity investment as a result of the restructuring of its contracts with Chesapeake Energy Corporation (Chesapeake) effective January 1, 2017. Jackalope and Chesapeake replaced the cost-of-service based contract with a new 20-year fixed-fee gathering and processing contract that includes minimum revenue guarantees for a five to seven year period.

Storage and Transportation

EBITDA for our storage and transportation segment decreased by approximately $20.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease was primarily driven by the deconsolidation of our Northeast storage and transportation assets in June 2016 as a result of the contribution of the assets to Stagecoach Gas. The deconsolidation of the Northeast storage and transportation assets resulted in a decrease in revenues of approximately $43.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, partially offset by lower costs of product/services sold of approximately $2.7 million period over period. We also experienced a decrease in operations and maintenance expenses in our storage and transportation segment of approximately $6.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily as a result of the deconsolidation of the Northeast storage and transportation assets.

The decrease in our storage and transportation segment's EBITDA was also impacted by lower revenues of approximately $4.7 million from our COLT Hub operations. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in our rail throughput revenues resulting from lower rail loading volumes as a result of two rail loading contracts that expired in late 2016.

Our storage and transportation segment's EBITDA was impacted by a net increase in earnings from our unconsolidated affiliates. As discussed above, in June 2016, we deconsolidated our Northeast storage and transportation assets as a result of the Stagecoach Gas transaction and began accounting for our 50% equity interest in Stagecoach Gas under the equity method of

accounting. We recognized equity earnings from Stagecoach Gas of approximately $6.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The comparability of our storage and transportation segment's EBITDA was also impacted by a $13.7 million goodwill impairment recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016 related to our COLT Hub operations. For a further discussion of our goodwill impairments recorded during 2016, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 2.

Marketing, Supply and Logistics

EBITDA for our marketing, supply and logistics segment increased by approximately $103.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The comparability of our marketing, supply and logistics segment's results was impacted by goodwill impairments of approximately $87.4 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2016 related to our supply and logistics, storage and terminals and trucking operations. For a further discussion of our goodwill impairments recorded during 2016, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 2.

Our supply and logistics operations experienced an increase in revenues of approximately $138.4 million and an increase in costs of product/services sold of $121.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. During the first three months of 2017 and 2016, our supply and logistics operations were negatively impacted by unseasonably warm weather which resulted in lower propane and transportation-related demand for these operations. These costs of product/services sold increases include a loss of $5.4 million and a gain of $1.2 million on our commodity-based derivative contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, our storage and terminals operations (including our West Coast operations) experienced a $28.6 million increase in revenues compared to the same period in 2016, in addition to an increase in costs of product/services sold of approximately $29.3 million. The increase in our storage and terminals operations was primarily driven by the demand for propane-related services period-over-period, and the acquisition of our wholesale propane assets in December 2016 from Turner Gas Company.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, revenues from our crude marketing operations increased by approximately $37.0 million compared to 2016, in addition to an increase in costs of product/services sold of approximately $37.6 million. These increase were driven by higher crude marketing volumes due to increased marketing activity surrounding our crude-related operations.

Our NGL and crude trucking operations continued to experience a decline in demand for their services due to lower volumes, increased competition, excess trucking capacity in the market place and the low commodity price environment during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, resulting in a $5.9 million decrease in revenues and $3.5 million decrease in costs of product/services sold during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

Other EBITDA Results

General and Administrative Expenses . During the three months ended March 31, 2017, our general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $3 million compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to an increase in unit-based compensation charges based on higher average awards outstanding in 2017 compared to 2016, higher allocations of unit-based compensation costs from Crestwood Holdings, and the impact of performance units granted in February 2017 under the Crestwood Equity LTIP. For a further discussion of Crestwood Equity's 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 2.

Items not affecting EBITDA include the following:

Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion Expense - During the three months ended March 31, 2017, our depreciation, amortization and accretion expense decreased compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due the deconsolidation of our Northeast storage and transportation assets in June 2016.

Table of Contents

Interest and Debt Expense, Net - Interest and debt expense, net decreased by approximately $9.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to repayments during June 2016, the repayment of Crestwood Midstream's 2020 Senior Notes and 2022 Senior Notes in March 2016, and lower interest costs related to the CMLP Credit Facility as a result of lower amounts outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 2016. For a further discussion of these repayments, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 9.

Loss on Modification/Extinguishment of Debt . During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $37.3 million in conjunction with the tender of the remaining principal amounts of Crestwood Midstream's 2022 Senior Notes and a portion of its 2020 Senior Notes. For a further discussion of these repayments, see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 9.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Crestwood Equity is a holding company that derives all of its operating cash flow from its operating subsidiaries. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash generated by operating activities from our subsidiaries, distributions from our joint ventures, borrowings under our credit facility, and sales of equity and debt securities. Our operating subsidiaries use cash from their respective operations to fund their operating activities, maintenance and growth capital expenditures, and service their outstanding indebtedness. We believe our liquidity sources and operating cash flows are sufficient to address our future operating, debt service and capital requirements.

Beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2017, we will be required to make quarterly cash distributions to our preferred unitholders of approximately $15 million per quarter in lieu of quarterly distributions of additional preferred units. We believe that during 2017, our operating cash flows will well exceed our quarterly distributions at the current level and cash distributions to our preferred unitholders.

As of March 31, 2017, Crestwood Midstream had $644.4 million of available capacity under its credit facility considering the most restrictive debt covenants in its credit agreement. At March 31, 2017 , Crestwood Midstream was in compliance with all of its debt covenants applicable to the CMLP credit facility and its senior notes.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. As of March 31, 2017 , Crestwood Midstream was in compliance with all of its debt covenants applicable to the Crestwood Midstream credit facility and its senior notes.

Cash Flows

Net cash used in investing activities	(12.3		)	(60.3		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(47.2		)	(73.4		)

Operating Activities

Our operating cash flows decreased approximately $75.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to the deconsolidation of our Northeast storage and transportation assets in June 2016 and an increase in working capital requirements of our supply and logistics operations due to the timing of the settlement of contracts related to those operations.

Investing Activities

The energy midstream business is capital intensive, requiring significant investments for the acquisition or development of new facilities. We categorize our capital expenditures as either:


•	growth capital expenditures, which are made to construct additional assets, expand and upgrade existing systems, or acquire additional assets; or


•	maintenance capital expenditures, which are made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets, to maintain the existing operating capacity of our assets, extend their useful lives or comply with regulatory requirements.

We anticipate our growth capital expenditures in 2017 to range from $225 million to $250 million, which considers the new expansion projects in the Bakken described in Segment Highlights above. We anticipate that our growth capital expenditures throughout 2017 will increase the operating efficiencies of our systems and generate meaningful contributions to our results of operations beginning in 2018. We expect to finance our growth and maintenance capital expenditures with a combination of cash generated by our operating subsidiaries, distributions received from our joint ventures and borrowings under the CMLP Credit Facility.

We have identified additional growth capital project opportunities for each of our reporting segments. Additional commitments or expenditures will be made at our discretion, and any discontinuation of the construction of these projects will likely result in less future cash flows and earnings. The following table summarizes our capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2017 ( in millions ).

Financing Activities

Significant items impacting our financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , included the following:

Equity Transactions


•	Decrease in distributions to partners of approximately $53.8 million primarily due to the reduction in distributions paid per limited partner unit from $1.375 per unit in 2016 compared to $0.60 in 2017; and


•	Increase in taxes paid for unit-based compensation vesting of approximately $2.8 million primarily due to higher vesting of unit-based compensation awards in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

Debt Transactions


•	$25 million decrease in net proceeds less repayments related to our long-term debt instruments; see Item 1. Financial Statements, Note 7 for a further discussion of debt issuances and repayments.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our interest rate risk and commodity price and market risks are discussed in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and there have been no material changes in those exposures from December 31, 2016 to March 31, 2017 .


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2017 , Crestwood Equity and Crestwood Midstream carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of their respective management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of their General Partners, as to the effectiveness, design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Crestwood Equity and Crestwood Midstream maintain controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in their respective reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC, and that information is accumulated and communicated to their respective management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of their General Partners, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Such management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of their General Partners, do not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or the internal controls will prevent and/or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Crestwood Equity's and Crestwood Midstream's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of their General Partners concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2017 .

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to Crestwood Equity's or Crestwood Midstream's internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect Crestwood Equity's or Crestwood Midstream's internal control over financial reporting.
