EQT Midstream Partners, LP and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


A.	Financial Statements

Organization

EQM is a growth-oriented Delaware limited partnership. EQT Midstream Services, LLC (EQM General Partner), a direct wholly owned subsidiary of EQT GP Holdings, LP (EQGP), is the general partner of EQM. References in these consolidated financial statements to EQT refer collectively to EQT Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, the owners of a 90.1% limited partner interest and 100% non-economic general partner interest in EQGP.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of EQM as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 and its cash flows and partners' capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 . Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

NWV Gathering was a business and the NWV Gathering Acquisition was a transaction between entities under common control; therefore, EQM recorded the assets and liabilities of NWV Gathering at their carrying amounts to EQT on the date of the transaction. The difference between EQT’s net carrying amount and the total consideration paid to EQT was recorded as a capital transaction with EQT, which resulted in a reduction in partners’ capital. EQM recast its consolidated financial statements to retrospectively reflect the NWV Gathering Acquisition as if the business was owned for all periods presented; however, the consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred if EQM had owned it during the periods reported.

Due to the seasonal nature of EQM’s utility customer contracts, the interim statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 .

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in EQM’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 as well as “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained therein.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The standard requires an entity to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in GAAP when it becomes effective and is required to be adopted using one of two retrospective application methods. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date which approved a one year deferral of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application of these ASUs is permitted as of the original effective date for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. EQM expects to adopt the ASUs using the modified retrospective method of adoption on January 1, 2018 and is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation . The standard changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. EQM adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2016 which had no significant impact on reported results or disclosures.

Table of Contents

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . The changes primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. This standard will eliminate the cost method of accounting for equity investments. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period, with early adoption of certain provisions permitted. EQM is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases . The ASU requires, among other things, that lessees recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lessees and lessors must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. EQM is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, this ASU eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. EQM is currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments . This ASU addresses the presentation and classification of eight specific cash flow issues. The amendments in the ASU will be effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. EQM does not anticipate that this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.


B.	Acquisitions

NWV Gathering Acquisition

E.	Related Party Transactions

In the ordinary course of business, EQM has transactions with EQT and its affiliates including, but not limited to, transportation service and precedent agreements, storage agreements and gas gathering agreements. Pursuant to an omnibus agreement, EQT performs centralized corporate, general and administrative services for EQM. In exchange, EQM reimburses EQT for the expenses incurred in providing these services, including direct and indirect costs and expenses attributable to EQT's long-term incentive programs. Pursuant to an operation and management services agreement, EQT Gathering, LLC (EQT Gathering), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of EQT, provides EQM’s pipelines and storage facilities with certain operational and management services. EQM reimburses EQT Gathering for such services pursuant to the terms of the omnibus agreement. The expenses for which EQM reimburses EQT and its subsidiaries may not necessarily reflect the actual expenses that EQM would incur on a stand-alone basis and EQM is unable to estimate what those expenses would be on a stand-alone basis. See also Note B, Note C, Note F, Note G and Note K for further discussion of related party transactions.

EQT terminated the EQT Corporation Retirement Plan for Employees (the Retirement Plan) effective December 31, 2014. On March 2, 2016, the IRS issued a favorable determination letter for the termination of the Retirement Plan. On June 28, 2016, EQT purchased annuities from and transferred the Retirement Plan assets and liabilities to American General Life Insurance Company. In the third quarter of 2016, EQM reimbursed EQT approximately $5.2 million for its proportionate share of such funding related to retirees of Equitrans, L.P. (Equitrans), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of EQM and the owner of EQM's FERC-regulated transmission, storage and gathering system. The settlement charge is expected to be recoverable in FERC approved rates and thus was recorded as a regulatory asset that will be amortized for rate recovery purposes over a period of 16 years.


F.	Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

MVP Joint Venture

The MVP Joint Venture plans to construct the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP), an estimated 300 -mile natural gas interstate pipeline spanning from northern West Virginia to southern Virginia. EQM is the operator of the MVP and owned a 45.5% interest in the MVP Joint Venture as of September 30, 2016 . The MVP Joint Venture has been determined to be a variable interest entity because the MVP Joint Venture has insufficient equity to finance its activities during the construction stage of the project. EQM is not the primary beneficiary because it does not have the power to direct the activities of the MVP Joint Venture that most significantly impact its economic performance. Certain business decisions require the approval of owners holding more than a 66 2/3% interest in the MVP Joint Venture and no one member owns more than a 66 2/3% interest. EQM accounted for the MVP Interest as an equity method investment as EQM has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the MVP Joint Venture.

The value of the equity method investment recorded on the consolidated balance sheets was approximately $160.3 million and $77.0 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. On October 17, 2016 MVP Holdco paid capital contributions of $13.1 million to the MVP Joint Venture. The capital contribution payable has been reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 with a corresponding increase to EQM's investment in the MVP Joint Venture.

Equity income related to EQM's portion of the MVP Joint Venture's AFUDC on construction of the MVP is reported in other income in the statements of consolidated operations and was $2.7 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $6.1 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

On January 21, 2016, an affiliate of Consolidated Edison, Inc. (ConEd) acquired a 12.5% interest in the MVP Joint Venture, 8.5% of which was purchased from EQM. EQM received a cash payment of approximately $12.5 million , which represented EQM's proportional capital contributions to the MVP Joint Venture through the date of the transaction. ConEd has the right to terminate its purchase of the interest in the MVP Joint Venture and be reimbursed for the purchase price and all capital contributions it makes to the MVP Joint Venture for a period ending no later than December 31, 2016.

Table of Contents

the MVP Joint Venture in connection with the then remaining construction budget, less, subject to certain limits, any credit assurances issued by any affiliate of EQM under such affiliate's precedent agreement with the MVP Joint Venture.

As of September 30, 2016 , EQM's maximum financial statement exposure related to the MVP Joint Venture was approximately $251 million , which included the investment balance on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 and amounts which could have become due under the performance guarantee as of that date.

Preferred Interest

EES was determined to be a variable interest entity because it has insufficient equity to finance its activities. EQM is not the primary beneficiary because it does not have the power to direct the activities of EES that most significantly impact its economic performance. The Preferred Interest in EES was determined to be a cost method investment as EQM does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of EES.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , EQM received cash distributions from EES of $2.8 million and $8.3 million , respectively, which were included in other income in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations. EQM expects to receive cash distributions of approximately $11 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 . As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the estimated fair value of EQM's Preferred Interest in EES was approximately $150 million and $140 million , respectively, and the carrying value of EQM's Preferred Interest in EES was $124.3 million at both dates. The fair value of EQM's Preferred Interest in EES is a Level 3 fair value measurement. As of September 30, 2016 , the carrying value represents EQM's maximum exposure to loss.

Concurrent with the October 2016 Acquisition, discussed in Note K, the operating agreement of EES was amended to include mandatory redemption of the Preferred Interest at the end of the preference period which is expected to be December 31, 2034. As a result of this amendment, EQM's investment in EES converted to a note receivable effective October 13, 2016. This conversion does not impact the carrying value of this instrument; however, future distributions from EES will be recorded partly as interest income and partly as a reduction in the note receivable.


G.	Credit Facility Borrowings

EQM has a $750 million credit facility that expires in February 2019 (the $750 Million Facility). The credit facility is available to fund working capital requirements and capital expenditures, to purchase assets, to pay distributions, to repurchase units and for general partnership purposes.

EQM had $91 million of borrowings outstanding on its $750 Million Facility as of September 30, 2016 and had $299 million outstanding as of December 31, 2015 . The maximum amount of EQM’s outstanding credit facility borrowings was $91 million and $404 million at any time during the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $299 million and $404 million at any time during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The average daily balance of credit facility borrowings outstanding was approximately $34 million and $357 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and approximately $67 million and $241 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Interest was incurred on the credit facility borrowings at a weighted average annual interest rate of approximately 2.0% and 1.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , respectively, and approximately 1.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 .

On October 26, 2016, EQM entered into a $500 million , 364 -day, uncommitted revolving loan agreement with EQT (the 364 -Day Facility). The 364 -Day Facility will mature on October 25, 2017 and will automatically renew for successive 364 -day periods unless EQT delivers a non-renewal notice at least 60 days prior to the then current maturity date. EQM may terminate the 364 -Day Facility at any time by repaying in full the unpaid principal amount of all loans together with interest thereon. The 364 -Day Facility is available for general partnership purposes and does not contain any covenants other than the obligation to pay accrued interest on outstanding borrowings. Interest will accrue on any outstanding borrowings at an interest rate equal to the rate then applicable to similar loans under the $750 Million Facility, or a successor revolving credit facility, less the sum of (i) the then applicable commitment fee under the $750 Million Facility and (ii) 10 basis points.


H.	Fair Value Measurements

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amounts due to/from related parties and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments; these are considered Level 1 fair values. The carrying value of credit facility borrowings approximates fair value as the interest rates are based on prevailing market rates; this is considered a Level 1 fair value. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the estimated fair value of EQM's long-term debt was

Table of Contents

approximately $493 million and $414 million , respectively, and the carrying value of EQM's long-term debt was approximately $494 million and $493 million , respectively. The fair value of EQM's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement. See Note F for the fair value of EQM's Preferred Interest in EES.


I.	Income Taxes

As a result of its limited partnership structure, EQM is not subject to federal and state income taxes. For federal and state income tax purposes, all income, expenses, gains, losses and tax credits generated by EQM flow through to the unitholders; accordingly, EQM does not record a provision for income taxes.

As discussed in Note B, EQM completed the NWV Gathering Acquisition on March 17, 2015, which was a transaction between entities under common control. Prior to this transaction, the income from NWV Gathering was included in EQT’s consolidated federal tax return; therefore, the NWV Gathering operations were subject to income taxes. Accordingly, the income tax effects associated with the operations of NWV Gathering prior to the NWV Gathering Acquisition were reflected in EQM’s consolidated financial statements. In conjunction with the NWV Gathering Acquisition, approximately $84.4 million of net current and deferred income tax liabilities were eliminated through equity.


J.	Distributions

On October 25, 2016 , the Board of Directors of the EQM General Partner declared a cash distribution to EQM’s unitholders for the third quarter of 2016 of $0.815 per common unit. The cash distribution will be paid on November 14, 2016 to unitholders of record, including EQGP, at the close of business on November 4, 2016 . Based on the 80,581,758 EQM common units outstanding on October 27, 2016 , cash distributions to EQGP related to its general partner interest and incentive distribution rights in EQM will be $1.6 million and $24.9 million , respectively. These distribution amounts to EQGP are subject to change if EQM issues additional common units on or prior to the record date for the third quarter 2016 distribution.


K.	Subsequent Events

On October 13, 2016, EQM entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with EQT and certain of EQT's affiliates pursuant to which EQM acquired from EQT (i) 100% of the outstanding limited liability company interests of Allegheny Valley Connector, LLC (AVC) and Rager Mountain Storage Company LLC (Rager) and (ii) certain gathering assets located in southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia (the Gathering Assets) (collectively, the October 2016 Acquisition). The closing of the October 2016 Acquisition occurred on October 13, 2016 and was effective as of October 1, 2016. The aggregate consideration paid by EQM to EQT in connection with the October 2016 Acquisition was $275 million , which was funded with borrowings under the $750 Million Facility.

AVC, Rager and the Gathering Assets were businesses and the October 2016 Acquisition was a transaction between entities under common control. Therefore, EQM will record the acquired assets and liabilities at their carrying amounts to EQT on the effective date of the transaction, and the difference between EQT’s net carrying amount and the total consideration paid to EQT will be recorded as a capital transaction with EQT. EQM will recast its consolidated financial statements to reflect the October 2016 Acquisition as if the assets were owned for all periods presented beginning with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The agreements may contain representations and warranties by EQM, which should not in all instances be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties to such agreements should those statements prove to be inaccurate. The representations and warranties were made only as of the date of the relevant agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in such agreement and are subject to more recent developments. Accordingly, these representations and warranties alone may not describe the actual state of affairs of EQM or its affiliates as of the date they were made or at any other time.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 , EQM reported net income of $126.6 million compared to $94.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 . The increase primarily resulted from higher revenues from both gathering and transmission and storage, which were primarily driven by affiliate production development in the Marcellus Shale, higher other income and lower interest expense. These items were partly offset by an increase in operating expenses, consistent with the growth of the business.

Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , EQM reported net income of $380.4 million compared to $280.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The increase resulted from higher revenues from both gathering and transmission and storage which were primarily driven by affiliate production development in the Marcellus Shale, higher other income and lower interest and income tax expense. These items were partly offset by an increase in operating expenses consistent with the growth of the business.

EQM declared a cash distribution to unitholders of $0.815 per unit on October 25, 2016 , which was 4% higher than the second quarter 2016 distribution of $0.78 per unit and 21% higher than the third quarter 2015 distribution of $0.675 per unit.

Business Segment Results of Operations

Operating segments are revenue-producing components of the enterprise for which separate financial information is produced internally and is subject to evaluation by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources. Other income and interest are managed on a consolidated basis. EQM has presented each segment’s operating income and various operational measures in the following sections. Management believes that the presentation of this information provides useful information to management and investors regarding the financial condition, results of operations and trends of segments. EQM has reconciled each segment’s operating income to EQM’s consolidated operating income and net income in Note D to the consolidated financial statements.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2015

Gathering revenues increased by $14.5 million primarily as a result of higher affiliate and third party volumes gathered for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 , driven by production development in the Marcellus Shale. EQM increased firm reservation fee revenues as a result of affiliates and third parties contracting for additional capacity under firm contracts, which resulted in increased firm gathering capacity of approximately

300 MMcf per day following the completion of the NWV Gathering and Jupiter expansion projects in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in usage fees under interruptible contracts was primarily due to these additional contracts for firm capacity.

Operating expenses increased by $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 . Selling, general and administrative expense increased primarily as a result of higher allocations and personnel costs from EQT. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense resulted from additional assets placed in-service including those associated with the NWV Gathering and Jupiter expansion projects.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

Gathering revenues increased by $50.2 million primarily as a result of higher affiliate and third party volumes gathered for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 , driven by production development in the Marcellus Shale. EQM increased firm reservation fee revenues as a result of affiliates and third parties contracting for additional capacity under firm contracts, which resulted in a decrease in usage fees under interruptible contracts.

Operating expenses increased by $9.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . Selling, general and administrative expense increased primarily as a result of higher allocations and personnel costs from EQT. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense resulted from additional assets placed in-service including those associated with the NWV Gathering and Jupiter expansion projects.

TRANSMISSION AND STORAGE

Operating revenues and operating expenses related to the Allegheny Valley Connector (AVC) facilities did not have an impact on adjusted EBITDA or distributable cash flow as the excess of the AVC revenues over operating and maintenance and selling, general and administrative expenses were paid to EQT as the monthly lease payment. All revenues related to the AVC facilities are from third parties.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2015

Transmission and storage revenues increased by $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 . This was driven by higher usage fees under firm contracts as a result of an increase in affiliate volumes in excess of firm capacity associated with increased production development in the Marcellus Shale, partly offset by lower usage fees from third party producers which is reflected in reduced firm capacity reservation throughput for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 . This reduction did not have a significant impact on firm reservation fee revenues. Firm reservation fee revenues increased as a result of higher contractual rates on existing contracts in the current year. Usage fees under interruptible contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2016 increased as a result of higher affiliate and third party volumes transported on an interruptible basis.

Operating expenses increased by $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 as a result of higher depreciation and amortization expense primarily related to the increased investment in the AVC facilities.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

Transmission and storage revenues increased by $25.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . Higher usage fees under firm contracts were driven by an increase in affiliate volumes in excess of firm capacity associated with increased production development in the Marcellus Shale, partly offset by lower usage fees from third party producers which is reflected in reduced firm capacity reservation throughput for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . These volumes also decreased as a result of warmer weather during the first quarter of 2016. This decrease in transported volumes did not have a significant impact on firm reservation fee revenues. Firm reservation fee revenues increased as a result of higher contractual rates on existing contracts in the current year. Usage fees under interruptible contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 increased as a result of higher affiliate and third party volumes transported on an interruptible basis.

Operating expenses increased by $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of higher depreciation and amortization expense related to the increased investment in the AVC facilities and additional assets placed in-service.

Other Income Statement Items

Other income increased by $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 primarily driven by increased AFUDC - equity of $5.7 million mainly attributable to increased spending on the OVC project, distributions received from EES of $2.8 million which began in January 2016 and higher equity income related to EQM's portion of the MVP Joint Venture's AFUDC on the MVP. Other income increased by $25.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily driven by increased AFUDC - equity of $11.5 million mainly attributable to increased spending on the OVC project, distributions received from EES of $8.3 million and higher equity income related to EQM's portion of the MVP Joint Venture's AFUDC on the MVP.

Interest expense decreased by $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 , primarily driven by higher capitalized interest and AFUDC - debt associated with increased spending on regulated projects of $1.6 million, decreased interest expense of $1.3 million on lower credit facility borrowings and lower capital lease interest expense. Interest expense decreased by $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily driven by higher capitalized interest and AFUDC - debt of $3.2 million associated with increased spending on regulated projects, lower capital lease interest expense of $2.1 million and decreased interest expense on lower credit facility borrowings. As a result of the OVC beginning service on October 1, 2016, AFUDC - debt will substantially decrease in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Concurrent with the October 2016 Acquisition, discussed in Note K, the operating agreement of EES was amended to include mandatory redemption of the Preferred Interest at the end of the preference period which is expected to be December 31, 2034. As a result of this amendment, EQM's investment in EES converted to a note receivable effective October 13, 2016. This conversion does not impact the carrying value of this instrument, however, future distributions from EES will be recorded partly as interest income and partly as a reduction in the note receivable. This change will decrease the amount of other income

Table of Contents

recognized in future periods and increase interest income. It will have no impact on expected cash flows during the preference period.

EQM is not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. As previously noted, the NWV Gathering Acquisition, which closed on March 17, 2015, was a transaction between entities under common control for which the consolidated financial statements of EQM were retrospectively recast to reflect the combined entities. Accordingly, the income tax effects associated with NWV Gathering's operations prior to the NWV Gathering Acquisition were reflected in the consolidated financial statements as NWV Gathering was previously part of EQT’s consolidated federal tax return. The decrease in income tax expense resulted from the timing of the NWV Gathering Acquisition.

See “Investing Activities” and “Capital Requirements” in the “Capital Resources and Liquidity” section below for a discussion of capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EQM defines adjusted EBITDA as EQM's net income plus interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, income tax expense (if applicable) and non-cash long-term compensation expense less equity income, AFUDC - equity, capital lease payments and NWV Gathering adjusted EBITDA prior to the NWV Gathering Acquisition. EQM defines distributable cash flow as adjusted EBITDA less interest expense excluding capital lease interest, capitalized interest and AFUDC - debt, and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures net of expected reimbursements. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are non-GAAP supplemental financial measures that management and external users of 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’s 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.

EQM believes that adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow provide useful information to investors in assessing its financial condition and results of operations. 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 its industry, EQM’s adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing the utility of the measures. 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.

Adjusted EBITDA attributable to NWV Gathering prior to acquisition for the periods presented was excluded from EQM’s adjusted EBITDA calculations as these amounts were generated by NWV Gathering prior to EQM’s acquisition; therefore, they were not amounts that could have been distributed to EQM’s unitholders. Adjusted EBITDA attributable to NWV Gathering for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was calculated as net income of $11.1 million plus depreciation and amortization expense of $2.0 million plus income tax expense of $6.7 million .

As a result of the increased significance of capitalized interest and AFUDC - debt in 2016, this line item was added as an adjustment to the calculation of distributable cash flow for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 . Had distributable cash flow been calculated on a consistent basis, it would have been $1.5 million and $3.1 million lower for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively, than the numbers presented herein.

Ongoing maintenance capital expenditures, net of expected reimbursements excludes ongoing maintenance that EQM expects to be reimbursed or that was reimbursed by EQT under the terms of EQM's omnibus agreement of $0.4 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $0.6 million and $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Additionally, it excludes ongoing maintenance attributable to NWV Gathering prior to acquisition of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 .

See "Executive Overview" above for a discussion of EQM's net income, the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to adjusted EBITDA. EQM's adjusted EBITDA increased by $22.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $95.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily as a result of higher operating income on increased revenues driven by production development in the Marcellus Shale, the NWV Gathering Acquisition, which resulted in EBITDA subsequent to the transaction being reflected in adjusted EBITDA, and distributions from EES.

Net cash provided by operating activities, the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow, increased by $50.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as discussed in the “Capital Resources and Liquidity" section below. Distributable cash flow increased by $23.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $93.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 mainly attributable to the increase in adjusted EBITDA.

Outlook

EQM’s principal business objective is to increase the quarterly cash distributions that it pays to its unitholders over time while ensuring the ongoing growth of its business. EQM believes that it is well positioned to achieve growth based on the combination of its relationship with EQT and its strategically located assets, which cover portions of the Marcellus and Utica Shales that lack substantial natural gas pipeline infrastructure. EQM believes it has a competitive advantage in pursuing economically attractive organic expansion projects in its areas of operations, which EQM believes will be a key driver of growth in the future. EQM is also currently pursuing organic growth projects that are expected to provide access to markets in the Midwest, Gulf Coast and Southeast regions. Additionally, EQM may pursue asset acquisitions from third parties or, if EQT were to purchase assets or companies that contain midstream assets, EQT may make those assets available to EQM. Should EQT choose to pursue midstream asset sales, it is under no contractual obligation to offer the assets to EQM.

EQM expects that the following expansion projects will allow it to capitalize on drilling activity by EQT and third party producers:

•

Ohio Valley Connector . The OVC, which began service on October 1, 2016, is a 37-mile pipeline that extends EQM's transmission and storage system from northern West Virginia to Clarington, Ohio, at which point it interconnects with the Rockies Express Pipeline and may interconnect with other pipelines and liquidity points. The OVC will provide approximately 850 BBtu per day of transmission capacity with an aggregate compression of approximately 38,000 horsepower at an estimated cost of $360 million, excluding AFUDC, of which $220 million is expected to be spent in 2016. EQT has entered into a 20-year transportation service agreement with EQM for a total of 650 BBtu per day of firm transmission capacity on the OVC.

•

Range Resources Header Pipeline Project . EQM is constructing a natural gas header pipeline for a subsidiary of Range Resources Corporation (Range Resources) in southwestern Pennsylvania to support Marcellus development. The pipeline is expected to cost approximately $250 million and is contracted to provide 600 MMcf per day of firm capacity backed by a ten-year firm capacity reservation commitment. EQM plans to complete the project in two phases. On October 1, 2016, phase one was placed into service providing 75 MMcf per day of firm capacity. Phase two is expected to be completed during the first half of 2017. EQM expects to invest approximately $180 million on the project in 2016.


•	Gathering Expansion Projects. EQM expects to invest a total of approximately $370 million, of which approximately $90 million is expected to be spent during 2016, related to expansion in the NWV Gathering development area. These expenditures are part of a fully subscribed expansion project expected to raise total firm gathering capacity in the

Table of Contents

NWV Gathering development area to 640 MMcf per day by mid-year 2017. EQM also plans to invest approximately $20 million in the Jupiter development area to install a gathering pipeline that will extend the gathering system to include additional EQT Production development areas in Greene County, Pennsylvania. As described in Note K, EQM acquired certain gathering assets located in southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia from EQT as part of the October 2016 Acquisition. EQM expects to invest approximately $105 million over the next several years to complete planned expansion projects including the installation of approximately 20 miles of pipeline and four compressor units. EQM expects to spend approximately $5 million on this expansion project during the fourth quarter of 2016.

•

Equitrans and AVC Expansion Projects . EQM is evaluating several multi-year transmission capacity expansion projects to support production growth in the Marcellus and Utica Shales that could total an additional 1.5 Bcf per day of capacity by year-end 2018. The projects may include additional compression, pipeline looping and new header pipelines. EQM expects to spend approximately $20 million on these expansion projects during 2016. As described in Note K, EQM acquired AVC from EQT as part of the October 2016 Acquisition. EQM expects to invest approximately $50 million in AVC related growth projects during the remainder of 2016 and 2017, of which approximately $25 million is expected to be spent during the fourth quarter of 2016.

•

Mountain Valley Pipeline . The MVP Joint Venture is a joint venture with affiliates of each of NextEra Energy, Inc., Consolidated Edison, Inc., WGL Holdings, Inc. and RGC Resources, Inc. EQM is the operator of the MVP and owned a 45.5% interest in the MVP Joint Venture as of October 27, 2016 . The 42 inch diameter MVP has a targeted initial capacity of 2.0 Bcf per day and is estimated to span 300-miles extending from EQM's existing transmission and storage system in Wetzel County, West Virginia to Pittsylvania County, Virginia. As currently designed, the MVP is estimated to cost a total of $3.0 billion to $3.5 billion, excluding AFUDC, with EQM funding its proportionate share through capital contributions made to the joint venture. In 2016, EQM expects to provide capital contributions of approximately $100 million to the MVP Joint Venture, primarily in support of material orders, environmental and land assessments and engineering design work. Expenditures are expected to increase substantially as construction commences, with the bulk of the expenditures expected to be made in 2017 and 2018. The MVP Joint Venture has secured a total of 2.0 Bcf per day of 20-year firm capacity commitments, including a 1.29 Bcf per day firm capacity commitment by EQT, and is currently in negotiation with additional shippers who have expressed interest in the MVP project. The MVP Joint Venture submitted the MVP certificate application to the FERC in October 2015, and the FERC issued the Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review (NOS) and the Draft Environmental Impact Statement on June 28, 2016 and September 16, 2016, respectively. Based on the schedule provided in the NOS, the MVP Joint Venture anticipates receiving the certificate in mid-2017. The pipeline is targeted to be placed in-service during the fourth quarter of 2018.

See further discussion of capital expenditures in the “Capital Requirements” section below.

Commodity Prices

EQM’s business is dependent on the continued availability of natural gas production and reserves in its areas of operation. Low prices for natural gas, including those resulting from regional basis differentials, could adversely affect development of additional reserves and production that is accessible by EQM’s pipeline and storage assets. Appalachian Basin market prices for natural gas were depressed throughout 2015 and the first nine months of 2016. Lower regional natural gas prices could cause producers to determine in the future that drilling activities in areas outside of EQM’s current areas of operation are strategically more attractive to them. In response to the depressed commodity price environment, a number of large natural gas producers announced their intention to re-evaluate and/or reduce their drilling programs in certain areas, including the Appalachian Basin. EQT's 2016 capital expenditure forecast is significantly lower than EQT's 2015 capital expenditures. EQT, or third party customers on EQM's systems, may reduce capital spending in the future based on commodity prices or other factors. Unless EQM is successful in attracting and retaining unaffiliated third party customers, which accounted for 49% of transmission and storage revenues and 4% of gathering revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , its ability to maintain or increase the capacity subscribed and volumes transported under service arrangements on its transmission and storage system as well as the volumes gathered on its gathering systems will be dependent on receiving consistent or increasing commitments from EQT. While EQT has dedicated acreage to EQM, and has entered into long-term firm transmission and gathering contracts on EQM's systems, EQT may determine in the future that drilling in areas outside of EQM's current areas of operations is strategically more attractive to it, and it is under no contractual obligation to continue to develop its acreage dedicated to EQM.

EQM believes the high percentage of its revenues derived from reservation charges under long-term, firm contracts will mitigate the risk of revenue fluctuations due to changes in near-term supply and demand conditions and commodity prices. For more information see “Risk Factors - Risks Inherent in Our Business - Any significant decrease in production of natural gas in

our areas of operation could adversely affect our business and operating results and reduce our distributable cash flow" included in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of EQM's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

EQM’s principal liquidity requirements are to finance its operations, fund capital expenditures and potential acquisitions, make cash distributions and satisfy any indebtedness obligations. EQM’s ability to meet these liquidity requirements will depend on its ability to generate cash in the future as well as its ability to raise capital in banking, capital and other markets. EQM’s available sources of liquidity include cash generated from operations, borrowing under EQM's credit facilities, cash on hand, debt offerings and issuances of additional EQM partnership units. EQM expects to fund its remaining 2016 capital expenditures with cash on hand and available debt capacity.

Operating Activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities totaled $370.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $319.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The $50.5 million increase was driven by higher operating income for which contributing factors are discussed in the “Executive Overview” and "Business Segment Results of Operations" sections herein, distributions received from EES of $8.3 million and lower interest and income tax expense, partly offset by the timing of payments between the two periods.

Investing Activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities totaled $494.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $891.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The $397.6 million decrease was primarily attributable to the acquisition of the NWV Gathering net assets from EQT and the Preferred Interest Acquisition, both of which occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . These decreases were partly offset by increased capital expenditures as further described in the "Capital Requirements" section herein.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $227.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $446.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 . The primary financing uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were net credit facility repayments and distributions to unitholders. The primary financing sources of cash for the period were the sale of common units under the $750 million ATM Program. Financing cash inflows for the first nine months of 2015 were from the March 2015 equity offering and net credit facility borrowings; the primary financing cash payments were for the NWV Gathering Acquisition in excess of net assets acquired and distributions to unitholders.

Capital Requirements

The gathering, transmission and storage businesses are capital intensive, requiring significant investment to develop new facilities and to maintain and upgrade existing operations. The following table presents capital expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 .

Expansion capital expenditures increased by $65.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015 as a result of the timing of spending on projects. In the third quarter of 2016 , expansion capital expenditures primarily related to the OVC, the Range Resources Header Pipeline project and the NWV Gathering expansion. In the third quarter of 2015 , expansion capital expenditures primarily related to the OVC, the Jupiter and NWV Gathering expansions. EQM completed the Jupiter gathering expansion in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Expansion capital expenditures increased by $188.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as a result of the timing of spending on projects. In 2016 , expansion capital expenditures primarily related to the OVC, the Range Resources Header Pipeline project and the NWV Gathering expansion. In 2015 , expansion capital expenditures primarily related to the Jupiter and NWV Gathering expansions and the OVC.

In 2016 , expansion capital expenditures and capital contributions to the MVP Joint Venture are expected to be approximately $660 million and ongoing maintenance capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $25 million, net of reimbursements. EQM’s future capital investments may vary significantly from period to period based on the available investment opportunities and are expected to grow substantially in future periods for the Range Resources Header Pipeline project, the NWV Gathering expansion, the gathering and AVC expansion projects associated with the October 2016 Acquisition and capital contributions to the MVP Joint Venture. Maintenance related capital expenditures are also expected to vary quarter to quarter. EQM expects to fund future capital expenditures primarily through cash on hand, cash generated from operations, availability under its credit facility, debt offerings and issuances of additional EQM partnership units. EQM does not forecast capital expenditures associated with potential midstream projects not committed as of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Credit Facility Borrowings

EQM has a $750 Million Facility that expires in February 2019 and had $91 million of borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2016 . The $750 Million Facility is available to fund working capital requirements and capital expenditures, to purchase assets, to pay distributions, to repurchase units and for general partnership purposes. Subject to certain terms and conditions, the $750 Million Facility has an accordion feature that allows EQM to increase the available revolving borrowings under the facility by up to an additional $250 million. In addition, the $750 Million Facility includes a sublimit up to $75 million for same-day swing line advances and a sublimit up to $150 million for letters of credit. EQM has the right to request that one or more lenders make term loans to it under the $750 Million Facility subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which term loans will be secured by cash and qualifying investment grade securities. EQM’s obligations under the revolving portion of the $750 Million Facility are unsecured.

EQM’s $750 Million Facility contains various provisions that, if not complied with, could result in termination of the credit facility, require early payment of amounts outstanding or similar actions. The covenants and events of default under the $750 Million Facility relate to maintenance of permitted leverage ratio, limitations on transactions with affiliates, limitations on restricted payments, insolvency events, nonpayment of scheduled principal or interest payments, acceleration of and certain other defaults under other financial obligations and change of control provisions. Under the $750 Million Facility, EQM is required to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio of not more than 5.00 to 1.00 (or not more than 5.50 to 1.00 for certain measurement periods following the consummation of certain acquisitions). As of September 30, 2016 , EQM was in compliance with all debt provisions and covenants.

On October 26, 2016, EQM entered into the 364-Day Facility (as defined in Note G) with EQT, which will mature on October 25, 2017. See Note G for further discussion of the uncommitted revolving loan agreement.

Table of Contents

Security Ratings

The table below sets forth the credit ratings for debt instruments of EQM at September 30, 2016 .



Rating Service	Senior Notes	Outlook
Moody’s Investors Service (Moody's)	Ba1	Stable
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (S&P)	BBB-	Stable
Fitch Ratings (Fitch)	BBB-	Stable

EQM’s credit ratings are subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. EQM cannot ensure that a rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a credit rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. If any credit rating agency downgrades EQM’s ratings, EQM’s access to the capital markets may be limited, borrowing costs could increase, EQM may be required to provide additional credit assurances in support of commercial agreements such as joint venture agreements and construction contracts, the amount of which may be substantial, and the potential pool of investors and funding sources may decrease. In order to be considered investment grade, a company must be rated Baa3 or higher by Moody’s, BBB- or higher by S&P, or BBB- or higher by Fitch. Anything below these ratings, including EQM's current credit rating of Ba1 by Moody's, is considered non-investment grade.

$750 million ATM Program

As of October 27, 2016 , EQM had approximately $443 million in remaining capacity under the $750 million ATM Program.

Distributions

Commitments and Contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, various legal and regulatory claims and proceedings are pending or threatened against EQM. While the amounts claimed may be substantial, EQM is unable to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of such claims and proceedings. EQM accrues legal and other direct costs related to loss contingencies when actually incurred. EQM has established reserves it believes to be appropriate for pending matters, and after consultation with counsel and giving appropriate consideration to available insurance, EQM believes that the ultimate outcome of any matter currently pending against it will not materially affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or ability to make distributions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2016 , EQM had issued a $91 million performance guarantee in favor of the MVP Joint Venture to provide performance assurances for MVP Holdco's obligations to fund its proportionate share of the construction budget for the MVP. Upon the FERC’s initial release to begin construction of the MVP, EQM's guarantee will terminate and EQM will be obligated to issue a new guarantee in an amount equal to 33% of MVP Holdco’s remaining obligations to make capital contributions to the MVP Joint Venture in connection with the then remaining construction budget, less, subject to certain limits, any credit assurances issued by any affiliate of EQM under such affiliate's precedent agreement with the MVP Joint Venture.

Critical Accounting Policies

EQM’s critical accounting policies are described in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in EQM’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been included in the notes to EQM’s consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2016 . The application of EQM’s critical accounting policies may require management to make

Table of Contents

judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments. Different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates affect the amount of interest EQM earns on cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments and the interest rates EQM pays on borrowings on its credit facilities. EQM's long-term borrowings are fixed rate and thus do not expose EQM to fluctuations in its results of operations or liquidity from changes in market interest rates. Changes in interest rates do affect the fair value of EQM's fixed rate debt. See Note G to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of EQM's borrowings and Note H to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of fair value measurements. EQM may from time to time hedge the interest on portions of its borrowings under the credit facilities in order to manage risks associated with floating interest rates.

Credit Risk

EQM is exposed to credit risk which is the risk that EQM may incur a loss if a counterparty fails to perform under a contract. EQM manages its exposure to credit risk associated with customers through credit analysis, credit approval, credit limits and monitoring procedures. For certain transactions, EQM may request letters of credit, cash collateral, prepayments or guarantees as forms of credit support. EQM’s FERC tariff requires tariff customers that do not meet specified credit standards to provide three months of credit support; however, EQM is exposed to credit risk beyond this three month period when its tariff does not require its customers to provide additional credit support. For some of EQM’s more recent long-term contracts associated with system expansions, it has entered into negotiated credit agreements that provide for enhanced forms of credit support if certain credit standards are not met. EQM has historically experienced only minimal credit losses in connection with its receivables. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , approximately 90% of revenues were from investment grade counterparties. EQM is exposed to the credit risk of EQT, its largest customer. In connection with EQM's IPO in 2012, EQT guaranteed all payment obligations, up to a maximum of $50 million, due and payable to Equitrans by EQT Energy, LLC, one of Equitrans’ largest customers and a wholly owned subsidiary of EQT. The EQT guaranty will terminate on November 30, 2023 unless terminated earlier by EQT upon 10 days written notice. At September 30, 2016 , EQT’s public senior debt had an investment grade credit rating.

Other Market Risks

EQM's $750 Million Facility is underwritten by a syndicate of financial institutions, each of which is obligated to fund its pro-rata portion of any borrowings by EQM. No one lender of the 18 financial institutions in the syndicate holds more than 10% of the facility. EQM’s large syndicate group and relatively low percentage of participation by each lender is expected to limit EQM’s exposure to problems or consolidation in the banking industry.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of management of the EQM General Partner, including the EQM General Partner’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, an evaluation of EQM’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) was conducted as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer of the EQM General Partner concluded that EQM’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the third quarter of 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, EQM’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, various legal and regulatory claims and proceedings are pending or threatened against EQM. While the amounts claimed may be substantial, EQM is unable to predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of such claims and proceedings. EQM accrues legal and other direct costs related to loss contingencies when actually incurred. EQM has established reserves it believes to be appropriate for pending matters and, after consultation with counsel and giving appropriate consideration to available insurance, EQM believes that the ultimate outcome of any matter currently pending against it will not materially affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or ability to make distributions.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

On April 8, 2016, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) proposing new requirements applicable to natural gas transmission and gathering lines. As a result of the publication of the NPRM, EQM determined to replace in its entirety the second paragraph of the risk factor entitled “We may incur significant costs and liabilities as a result of pipeline integrity management program testing and related repairs” in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of EQM’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as follows:

Changes to pipeline safety laws and regulations that result in more stringent or costly safety standards could have a significant adverse effect on us and similarly situated midstream operators. For example, in August 2011, PHMSA published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (2011 Notice) in which the agency was seeking public comment on a number of changes to regulations governing the safety of gas transmission pipelines and gathering lines, including, for example, revising the definitions of “high consequence areas” and “gathering lines” and strengthening integrity management requirements as they apply to existing regulated operators and to currently exempt operators should certain exemptions be removed. In April 2016, PHMSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking responding to several of the integrity management topics raised in the 2011 Notice and proposing new requirements to address safety issues for natural gas transmission and gathering lines that have arisen since the issuance of the 2011 Notice. The proposed rule, which is subject to a public comment period, would strengthen existing integrity management requirements, expand assessment and repair requirements to pipelines in areas with medium population densities and extend regulatory requirements to onshore gas gathering lines that are currently exempt. We are monitoring and evaluating the effect of these proposed requirements on our operations.

Except as set forth above, as of the date of this report, EQM's risk factors have not changed materially from those discussed in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of EQM’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 .

Item 5. Other Information

364-Day Facility

On October 26, 2016, EQM entered into the 364-Day Facility (as defined in Note G) with EQT, which will mature on October 25, 2017. The 364-Day Facility will automatically renew for successive 364-day periods unless EQT delivers a non-renewal notice at least 60 days prior to the then current maturity date. EQM may terminate the 364-Day Facility at any time by repaying in full the unpaid principal amount of all loans together with interest thereon. The 364-Day Facility is available for general partnership purposes and does not contain any covenants other than the obligation to pay accrued interest on outstanding borrowings. Interest will accrue on any outstanding borrowings at an interest rate equal to the rate then applicable to similar loans under EQM’s $750 Million Facility (as defined in Note G), less the sum of (i) the then applicable commitment fee under the $750 Million Facility and (ii) 10 basis points.

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 364-Day Facility, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and incorporated in this Item 5 by reference.

Relationships

The EQM General Partner is indirectly controlled by EQT through EQT’s control of EQGP. As of September 30, 2016, EQGP and its subsidiaries owned 21,811,643 EQM common units, representing a 26.6% limited partnership interest, 1,443,015 EQM general partner units, representing a 1.8% general partner interest, and all of the incentive distribution rights in EQM. As of September 30, 2016, EQT owned 100% of the non-economic general partner interest and a 90.1% limited partner interest in EQGP.
