• Generated 84% of revenue from firm reservation fees
• Placed the Ohio Valley Connector (OVC) pipeline into service

Effective October 1, 2016, EQM acquired the Allegheny Valley Connector (AVC) and several Marcellus gathering systems from EQT Corporation (EQT) (October 2016 Acquisition). As a result of the October 2016 Acquisition, prior period financial statements have been retrospectively recast for all periods presented to reflect the acquisition.

EQM fourth quarter operating revenue increased $24.3 million, 14% higher compared to the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to increased firm transmission capacity and higher contracted firm gathering capacity. In the fourth quarter, 91% of the operating revenue was generated by firm reservation fees. Operating expenses were up $14.6 million versus the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily from higher depreciation and amortization from assets placed in service during 2016, timing of activities and increases consistent with the growth of the business.
