credit / rates affecting interest expense

Interest expense decreased by 8%, from $207 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $190 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily due to lower interest expense on our senior notes due to the repurchase and redemption of the 7.875% senior notes due May 15, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) during the year ended December 31, 2024, and the redemption of the 2027 Notes during the year ended December 31, 2025, as well as lower interest rates on our Credit Facility between periods, partially offset by the issuances of the 6.625% senior notes due February 1, 2032 (the “2032 Notes”), 2033 Notes and 2034 Notes and higher average borrowing on our Credit Facility between periods.

demand / volume

While we cannot predict how or to what extent sustainable lending and investment practices may impact our operations, a material reduction in the capital available to the oil and natural gas industry could make it more difficult to secure funding for exploration, development, production, transportation and processing activities, which could result in decreased demand for our midstream services.

31 ​ Table of Contents Our operations are subject to a series of risks related to climate that could result in increased operating costs, limit the areas in which our customers may conduct oil and gas exploration and production activities, and reduce demand for the services we provide.
