This Current Report on Form 8-K was filed by Hess Midstream LP on August 8, 2024. The filing addresses the early adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07 (ASU 2023-07), "Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures."

Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not report new revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt figures. Instead, it provides recast segment disclosures for previously reported periods to align with ASU 2023-07 requirements. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) evaluates segment performance using Adjusted EBITDA, defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted for non-cash and non-recurring items. The filing includes updated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and the quarter ended March 31, 2024, as well as prior quarterly periods.
Material Changes Versus Prior Periods
The material change in this filing is a presentation update, not a restatement of financial results. The Company has recast segment disclosures in its 2023 Form 10-K and First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q to include required disclosures of significant expenses for each reportable segment. No other information in the previously filed reports is being modified or updated for events occurring after their respective filing dates.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Management commentary focuses on the implementation of ASU 2023-07 to enhance transparency regarding how the CODM evaluates segment expenses and operating results. The filing explicitly states that it does not reflect any changes, events, or activities occurring after the applicable filing dates of the 2023 Form 10-K or the First Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q.
