Note 1 – General, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation
General
Our accompanying interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the notes in our annual financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accompanying unaudited financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments and others that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our interim financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Description of Business
We are a Delaware corporation whose common stock is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Our operations are located in the United States. Effective January 1, 2022, following an organizational realignment, our natural gas liquid (NGL) and natural gas marketing services, previously reported within the West segment, along with the former Sequent segment, are now all managed within the Gas & NGL Marketing Services segment. As a result, our operations are presented within the following reportable segments as of March 31, 2022: Transmission & Gulf of Mexico, Northeast G&P, West, and Gas & NGL Marketing Services, consistent with the manner in which our chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and allocates resources. All remaining business activities, including our upstream operations, as well as corporate activities are included in Other. Prior period segment disclosures have been recast for the new segment presentation. Additionally, beginning in 2022 and concurrent with the integration of our legacy gas marketing operations and the marketing operations acquired in the Sequent Acquisition (see Note 3 – Acquisitions), all natural gas marketing revenues from Gas & NGL Marketing Services are presented net of the related costs of those activities in our Consolidated Statement of Income, as subsequent to the integration the entire natural gas marketing portfolio is considered held for trading purposes which requires net presentation .
