Frequently Asked Questions

The substantial increase in net income attributable to common shareholders was driven by several factors, including higher fee-based midstream service revenues, improved operational efficiency, the positive impact of commodity hedging activities, and strong contributions from recent acquisitions and ongoing expansion projects. The premium paid on the repurchase of noncontrolling interests in the prior year also favorably impacted the year-over-year comparison.
