January 2022 Combination with BCP Raptor Holdco LP Nasdaq: ALTM On January 5, 2022, Altus Midstream Company participated in a conference hosted by Goldman Sachs during which the following materials were presented:
Disclaimer FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS The information in this presentation and the oral statements made in connection therewith include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation, including, without limitation, statements regarding Altus Midstream Company's ("Altus Midstream") business, operations, strategy, prospects, plans, estimated financial and operating results, and future financial and operating performance and forecasts, as well as similar information about Apache Corporation ("Apache"), Altus Midstream's ability to effect the transactions described herein and the expected benefits of such transactions, and future plans, expectations, and objectives for the post-combination company's operations after completion of such transactions, are forward-looking statements. When used in this presentation, including any oral statements made in connection therewith, the words "could," "should," "will," "may," "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "expect," "project," "prospect," "plan," "continue," "seek," "guidance," "might," "outlook," "possibly," "potential," "would," the negative of such terms and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and assumptions about future events that Altus Midstream believes to be reasonable under the circumstances and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, Altus Midstream and Apache disclaim any duty to update any forward-looking statements, all of which are expressly qualified by the statements in this section, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this presentation. Altus Midstream and Apache caution you that these forward-looking statements are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Altus Midstream and Apache, incident to the development, production, gathering, transportation and sale of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids. These risks include, but are not limited to, commodity price volatility, low prices for oil and/or natural gas, global economic conditions, uncertainties inherent in the joint venture pipelines referred to herein, inflation, increased operating costs, construction delays and cost over-runs, lack of availability of equipment, supplies, services and qualified personnel, processing volumes and pipeline throughput, uncertainties related to new technologies, geographical concentration of operations, environmental risks, weather risks, security risks, drilling and other operating risks, regulatory changes, regulatory risks (including if Altus Midstream were to become an investment company in the future), the uncertainty inherent in estimating oil and natural gas reserves and in projecting future rates of production, reductions in cash flow, lack of access to capital, Altus Midstream's ability to satisfy future cash obligations, restrictions in existing or future debt agreements or structured or other financing arrangements, the timing of development expenditures, managing growth and integration of acquisitions, failure to realize expected value creation from acquisitions, and the scope, duration, and reoccurrence of any epidemics or pandemics (including specifically the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic) and the actions taken by third parties, including, but not limited to, governmental authorities, customers, contractors, and suppliers, in response to such epidemics or pandemics. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties described in this presentation and the oral statements made in connection therewith occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results and plans could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact Altus Midstream's operations and projections can be found in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Altus Midstream' SEC filings are available publicly on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. INFORMATION ABOUT ALPINE HIGH Information in this presentation about Alpine High, including the reserve and production information set forth within, has been provided by, and is the responsibility of, Apache. Reserve engineering is a process of estimating underground accumulations of hydrocarbons that cannot be measured in an exact way. The accuracy of any reserve estimate depends on the quality of available data, the interpretation of such data, and price and cost assumptions made by reserve engineers. Accordingly, reserve estimates may differ significantly from the quantities of oil and natural gas that are ultimately recovered. USE OF PROJECTIONS This presentation contains projections for Altus Midstream, including with respect to Altus Midstream's gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, net cash flows provided by operating activities, capital investment, growth capital investments, distributable cash flow, free cash flow, net debt, leverage, distribution coverage. Altus Midstream's independent auditors have not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this presentation, and accordingly, have not expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this presentation. These projections are for illustrative purposes only, should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and are subject to the disclaimers under "Forward Looking Statements" above. USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation includes non-GAAP financial measures, including gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, net cash flows provided by operating activities, capital investment, growth capital investments, distributable cash flow, free cash flow, net debt, leverage, distribution coverage. Altus Midstream believes these non-GAAP measures are useful because they allow Altus Midstream to more effectively evaluate its operating performance and compare the results of its operations from period to period and against its peers without regard to financing methods or capital structure. Altus Midstream does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to similar financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The computations of gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, net cash flows provided by operating activities, capital investment, growth capital investments, distributable cash flow, free cash flow, net debt, leverage, distribution coverage may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Altus Midstream excludes certain items from net (loss) income in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within its industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP or as indicators of operating performance. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA or distributable cash flow. Altus Midstream's presentation of gross profit, adjusted EBITDA, net cash flows provided by operating activities, capital investment, growth capital investments, distributable cash flow, free cash flow, net debt, leverage, distribution coverage should not be construed as an inference that its results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring terms.

In addition, Altus Midstream may file other relevant documents with the SEC regarding the proposed transaction.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts included or incorporated by reference in this document, including, without limitation, statements about the Company's ability to effect the transactions; the expected benefits of the transactions; future dividends; and future plans, expectations, and objectives for the combined company's operations after completion of the transactions, including statements about strategy, synergies, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues, projected costs, prospects, plans, and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "could," "expect," "intend," "project," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "believe," "continue," "seek," "guidance," "might," "outlook," "possibly," "potential," "prospect," "should," "would," or similar terminology, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward looking.
While forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by the Company that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results, performance, and financial condition to differ materially from expectations. See "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and in the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC for a discussion of risk factors that affect the Company's business. Any forward-looking statement made in this document speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future development, or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
