Legal obligations exist for the main pipeline and certain other Gulf South assets; however, the fair value of these obligations cannot be determined because the lives of the assets are indefinite. As a result, cash flows associated with retirement of the assets cannot be estimated with the degree of accuracy necessary to establish a liability for the obligations.</span></div><div

The principal differences from GAAP relate to the fact that these financial statements: (1) as permitted by FERC rules, contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; (2) classify certain accounts differently on the Comparative Balance Sheet and Statement of Income; (3) do not reflect the new basis of accounting established as a result of a change in ownership which occurred in 2004 and 2011; (4) contain certain amounts deferred as regulatory assets or liabilities, which were recognized as income or expense for GAAP; (5) reflect income taxes consistent with the FERC USofA and FERC Policy Statements, which were not recorded for GAAP since Gulf South is a wholly owned subsidiary of a partnership; (6) typically reflect the gain or loss on the disposal of assets as a component of accumulated depreciation, not on the Statement of Income; and (7) recognize allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) rather than capitalized interest as allowed under GAAP. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Subsequent events have been evaluated through April 16, 2025, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Use of Estimates</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the USofA requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the fair values of certain items. Gulf South bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from such estimates.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Fair Value Measurements</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Fair value refers to an exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal market in which the reporting entity transacts based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability assuming its highest and best use. A fair value hierarchy has been established that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions giving priority, from highest to lowest, to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1); observable inputs not included in Level 1, for example, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities (Level 2); and unobservable data (Level 3), for example, a reporting entity’s own internal data based on the best information available in the circumstances. Gulf South uses fair value measurements to account for equity securities, asset retirement obligations (ARO) and any impairment charges.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Note 4 contains more information regarding fair value measurements.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Cash</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Cash includes demand deposits with banks or other financial institutions.

Under the cash management program, depending on whether Gulf South has short-term cash surpluses or cash requirements, Boardwalk Pipelines either provides cash to Gulf South or Gulf South provides cash to Boardwalk Pipelines. Any outstanding advance balance is settled through a non-cash capital distribution or contribution to Boardwalk Pipelines on a monthly basis. The transactions are represented by demand notes and are stated at historical carrying amounts. Interest income and expense are recognized on an accrual basis when collection is reasonably assured.

Since the customers retain title to the gas held by Gulf South in providing these services, Gulf South does not record the related gas on the Comparative Balance Sheet. Gulf South also periodically lends gas to customers.

This results in transportation and exchange gas receivables and payables, commonly known as imbalances, which are primarily settled in cash or the receipt or delivery of gas in the future. Settlement of imbalances requires agreement between the pipelines and shippers or operators as to allocations of volumes to specific transportation contracts and timing of delivery of gas based on operational conditions. The receivables and payables are valued at market price.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Plant Materials and Operating Supplies</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Plant materials and operating supplies are carried at average cost.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law or results from the final review of tax returns by federal or state tax authorities. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced the maximum corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning January 1, 2018, which resulted in a regulatory liability of approximately $255.2 million being established for the portion of the reduction related to utility plant (Account 282), which also includes a gross-up calculation of $71.0 million that was offset to a regulatory asset (Account 182). The regulatory liability began amortizing to utility income effective January 1, 2018, over the life of the utility plant, which was estimated to be 34 years.

Gulf South also provides interruptible natural gas PAL services. Gulf South’s customers choose, based upon their particular needs, the applicable mix of services depending upon availability of pipeline and storage capacity, the price of services and the volume and timing of customer requirements. The maximum applicable rates that Gulf South may charge for their services are established through the FERC's cost-based rate-making process; however, the FERC also allows for discounted or negotiated rates as an alternative to cost-based rates. Under the FERC regulations, certain revenues that Gulf South collects may be subject to possible refunds to customers. Accordingly, during a rate case, estimated refund liabilities are recorded considering regulatory proceedings, advice of counsel and estimated risk-adjusted total exposure, as well as other factors. Gulf South's service contracts can range from one to twenty years although Gulf South may enter into shorter- or longer-term contracts, and services are invoiced monthly with payment from the customer generally expected within ten to thirty days, depending on the terms of the contract.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Firm Service Contracts</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">: Gulf South offers firm services to its customers.

Although several activities may be required to provide the firm service, the individual activities do not represent distinct performance obligations because all of the activities must be performed in combination in order for Gulf South to provide the firm service.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The transaction price for firm service contracts is comprised of a fixed fee based on the quantity of capacity reserved, regardless of use (capacity reservation fee), plus variable fees in the form of a usage fee paid on the volume of commodity actually transported or injected and withdrawn from storage. Both the fixed and usage fees are allocated to the single performance obligation of providing transportation or storage service and recognized over time based upon the output measure of time as Gulf South completes its stand-ready obligation to provide contracted capacity and the customer receives and consumes the benefit of the reserved capacity, which corresponds with the transfer of control to the customer. The fixed fee is recognized ratably over the contract term, representative of the proportion of the committed stand-ready capacity obligation that has been fulfilled to date, and the usage fee is recognized upon satisfaction of each distinct monthly performance obligation, consistent with the allocation objective and based upon the level of effort required to satisfy the stand-ready obligation in a given month. Capacity reservation revenues derived from a firm service contract are generally consistent during the contract term, but can be higher in winter periods than the rest of the year based upon seasonal rates.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Interruptible Service Contracts</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">: In providing interruptible services to customers, Gulf South agrees to transport or store natural gas for a customer when capacity is available. Gulf South does not account for interruptible services with a customer as a contract until the customer nominates for service and Gulf South accepts the nomination based upon available pipeline or storage capacity because there are no enforceable rights and obligations until that time.

The case was filed on March 29, 2019. The lawsuit claims include, among other things, negligence, strict liability, nuisance and breach of contract, alleging that the defendants’ drilling, dredging, pipeline and industrial operations since the 1930s have caused increased storm surge risk, increased flood protection costs and unspecified damages to the City of New Orleans. In October 2020, this case was stayed pending the outcome of a consolidated appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in a similar case. On August 5, 2021, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the oil-and-gas defendants in that consolidated appeal, finding that the two cases being appealed should be re-examined in federal district court since they involve operations that were federally overseen at the time. The ruling reverses a previous decision that allowed the cases to be heard in state court, which the plaintiffs had sought. As a result of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision, it is anticipated that this case will be reviewed in federal district court to determine whether the case should be heard in that court.

Under the CAA, Gulf South may be required to obtain pre-approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce or significantly increase air emissions, obtain and strictly comply with stringent air permit requirements or utilize specific equipment or technologies to control emissions. The need to obtain permits has the potential to delay the development or expansion of Gulf South’s projects. Over the next several years, Gulf South may be required to incur certain capital expenditures for air pollution control equipment or other air emissions related issues. For example, in 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule under the CAA, lowering the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone to 70 parts per billion under both the primary and secondary standards to provide requisite protection of public health and welfare. Since that time, the EPA issued area designations with respect to ground-level ozone, issued final requirements that apply to state, local and tribal air agencies for implementing the 2015 NAAQS for ground-level ozone and, on December 31, 2020, published notice of a final action to retain the 2015 ozone NAAQS without revision on a going-forward basis. However, several groups filed litigation over the </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">December 2020 final action and in October 2021, the EPA announced that it would reconsider the December 2020 determination to maintain the November 2015 NAAQS. In August 2023, the EPA announced a new review of the ozone NAAQS to ensure the standards protect people’s health and reflect the most current, relevant science. The new review will incorporate the reconsideration of the December 2020 final action. Until a final decision following the review is released, the full extent of the impacts of any new standards are not clear. Additionally, it is not clear what actions the Trump Administration may take with respect to the review. States are also expected to implement more stringent regulations that could apply to Gulf South's operations. Compliance with any final decision could, among other things, require installation of new emission controls on some of Gulf South's equipment, result in longer permitting timelines and significantly increase its capital expenditures and operating costs. Additionally, the threat of climate change continues to attract considerable public, governmental and scientific attention. As a result, numerous proposals have been made and are likely to continue to be made at the international, national, regional, state and local levels of government to monitor and limit emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). These efforts have included consideration of cap-and-trade programs, carbon taxes, and GHG reporting and tracking programs, and regulations that directly limit GHG emissions from certain sources. The EPA has determined that GHG emissions endanger public health and the environment and, as a result, has adopted regulations under the CAA related to GHG emissions.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Commitments for Construction</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Gulf South’s future capital commitments are comprised of binding commitments under purchase orders for materials ordered but not received and firm commitments under binding construction service agreements.

changes in credit risk related to gas loaned to customers, including affiliated customers. As of December 31, 2024, the amount of gas owed to Gulf South due to gas imbalances and gas loaned under PAL and certain firm service agreements was approximately 1.5 trillion British thermal units (TBtu). Assuming an average market price during December 2024 of $2.98 per million British thermal unit (MMBtu), the market value of that gas was approximately $4.5 million. As of December 31, 2023, the amount of gas owed to Gulf South due to gas imbalances and gas loaned under PAL and certain firm service agreements was approximately 2.9 TBtu. Assuming an average market price during December 2023 of $2.33 per MMBtu, the market value of that gas was approximately $6.8 million. If any significant customer should have credit or financial problems resulting in a delay or failure to pay for services provided or repay the gas owed to Gulf South, it could have a material adverse effect on Gulf South’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Note 8: Related Party Transactions </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Gulf South makes advances to or receives advances from Boardwalk Pipelines under the cash management program described in Note 2.

Gulf South incurred fixed and variable charges related to the licensing fee of $18.3 million and $3.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The fixed charges were derived from a cost of service model, including a rate of return, and the variable charges were based on maintenance costs incurred. These charges were allocated amongst the users of the gas management system based on an allocation methodology developed from certain commercial criteria.

The cost of planning, designing, constructing, and operating such facilities incorporates compliance with environmental laws and regulations, worker safety standards, and safety standards applicable to such facilities. In addition, there is increasing focus, from (i) regulatory bodies, communities and through litigation, on hydraulic fracturing and the real or perceived environmental or public health impacts of this technique, which indirectly presents some risk to our available supply of natural gas, (ii) regulatory bodies regarding pipeline system safety, which could impose additional regulatory burdens and increase the cost of our operations, (iii) state and federal regulatory bodies regarding the emission of greenhouse gases, which could impose additional regulatory burdens and increase the costs of our operations, and (iv) regulatory bodies and communities that could delay or prevent the development of infrastructure used in our business. Failure to comply with these various health, safety and environmental laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures, including citizen suits, which can include the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements, and the issuance of injunctions or restrictions on operation.

Cimarron recognizes pipeline revenues as gas volumes are transported through the pipeline and gathering facilities. When rate cases are pending final FERC approval, a portion of the revenue collected is subject to possible refund.

Our contracts generally have terms that extend beyond one year, and related revenues are recognized over time. The performance obligation for most of our contracts encompasses a series of distinct services performed on discrete daily quantities of natural gas for purposes of allocating variable consideration and recognizing revenue while the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the transportation services provided. Revenue is recognized over time consistent with the transfer of services over time to the customer based on daily volumes delivered. Consideration is generally variable, and the transaction price cannot be determined at the inception of the contract, because the volume of natural gas for which the service is provided is only specified on a daily or monthly basis. The transaction price is determined at the time the service is provided as the uncertainty is resolved.<br/></span></div><div style="text-indent:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">We recognize revenue from the sales of natural gas and condensate at the point in time when control is obtained by the customer.

The carrying values of these assets are also based on estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to capitalized costs, useful lives and salvage values. These estimates, assumptions and judgments reflect FERC regulations, as well as historical experience and expectations regarding future industry conditions and operations. The FERC prescribes installation, construction and replacement costs that are to be capitalized. All other costs are expensed as incurred.

The ARO asset is depreciated in a manner consistent with the expected timing of the future abandonment of the underlying physical assets.

back to customers. The regulatory liability was recorded in December 2017, of $4.5 million. The Average Rate Assumption Method (ARAM) is the flowback methodology that is being utilized to amortize the regulatory liability. Under ARAM, the excess accumulated deferred income taxes will reverse at the weighted average rate at which the deferred taxes were built over the remaining book life of the property to which those deferred taxes relate. As of December 31, 2024, White River Hub had amortized (flowed back to customers) $0.7 million of the EDIT.</span></div><div style="margin-top:12pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Note 4.

MountainWest Pipeline is currently generating significant revenue and earnings from annual reservation payments under firm peaking storage and firm transportation contracts. Straight-fixed-variable rate designs are used to allow for recovery of substantially all fixed costs in the demand or reservation charges, thereby reducing the earnings impact of volume changes on gas transportation and storage operations. Customer and other and affiliated receivables at December 31, 2023 included $16.6 million of accrued unbilled revenue based on estimated amounts of services provided but not yet billed to its customers. All revenue was billed in the calendar year resulting in no unbilled revenue at December 31, 2024.

These payments are amortized to revenue over the term of the contract. When a customer borrows gas in a park and loan agreement, MountainWest Pipeline establishes a gas receivable in other current assets as well as contra-asset within property, plant and equipment to account for the reduced gas in storage. When a customer lends gas in a park and loan agreement, MountainWest Pipeline establishes a gas payable in other current liabilities as well as a contra-asset with property, plant and equipment to account for the increased gas in storage. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Transportation and storage contracts are primarily stand-ready service contracts that include fixed reservation and variable usage fees. Fixed fees are recognized ratably over the life of the contract as the stand-ready performance obligations are satisfied, while variable usage fees are recognized when MountainWest Pipeline has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance obligation completed to date. Substantially all of MountainWest Pipeline’s revenues are derived from performance obligations satisfied over time, rather than recognized at a single point in time. The contract with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity and price of each product or service purchased. Payment for most sales and services varies by contract type but is typically due within a month of billing. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">MountainWest Pipeline typically receives or retains NGLs and natural gas from customers when providing natural gas processing, transportation or storage services.

back to customers. The regulatory liability was recorded in December 2017, of $53.5 million. The Average Rate Assumption Method (ARAM) is the flowback methodology that is being utilized to amortize the regulatory liability. Under ARAM, the excess accumulated deferred income taxes will reverse at the weighted average rate at which the deferred taxes were built over the remaining book life of the property to which those deferred taxes relate. As of December 31, 2024, MountainWest Pipeline had amortized (flowed back to customers) $14.4 million of the EDIT.</span></div><div style="margin-top:12pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Note 3.

Certain legal proceedings and governmental examinations involve demands for unspecified amounts of damages, that may be in an initial procedural phase, involve uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions, or involve significant factual issues that need to be resolved, such that it is not possible for MountainWest Pipeline to estimate a range of possible loss. For such matters that MountainWest Pipeline cannot estimate, a statement to this effect is made in the description of the matter. Other matters may have progressed sufficiently through the litigation or investigative processes such that MountainWest Pipeline is able to estimate a range of possible loss. For legal proceedings and governmental examinations for which MountainWest Pipeline is able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, an estimated range of possible loss is provided, in excess of the accrued liability (if any) for such matters. Estimated ranges of loss are inclusive of legal fees and net of any anticipated insurance recoveries. Any estimated range is based on currently available information and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. Any accrued liability is recorded on a gross basis with a receivable also recorded for any probable insurance recoveries. Any estimated range of possible loss may not represent MountainWest Pipeline’s maximum possible loss exposure. The circumstances of such legal proceedings and governmental examinations will change from time to time and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.

The straight-fixed-variable rate design used by Overthrust allows for recovery of substantially all fixed costs in the demand or reservation charge and reduces the earnings impact of volume changes on gas-transportation operations. Customer receivables included no accrued unbilled revenue as of December 31, 2024 and $6.4 million of accrued unbilled revenue as of December 31, 2023, based on estimated amounts of natural gas delivered but not yet billed to its customers.

Fixed fees are recognized ratably over the life of the contract as the stand-ready performance obligations are satisfied, while variable usage fees are recognized when Overthrust has a right to consideration from a customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance obligation completed to date. Substantially all of Overthrust’s revenues are derived from performance obligations satisfied over time, rather than recognized at a single point in time. The contract with the customer states the final terms of the sale, including the description, quantity and price of each product or service purchased. Payment for most sales and services varies by contract type, but is typically due within a month of billing.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Cash</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash includes cash in banks and temporary investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Current banking arrangements generally do not require checks to be funded until they are presented for payment.

The carrying values of these assets are also based on estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to capitalized costs, useful lives and salvage values. These estimates, assumptions and judgments reflect FERC regulations, as well as historical experience and expectations regarding future industry conditions and operations. The FERC identifies installation, construction and replacement costs that are to be capitalized. All other costs are expensed as incurred. Gains or losses from the ordinary sale or retirement of property, plant and equipment are credited or charged to accumulated depreciation; certain other gains or losses are recorded in operating income.</span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">We provide for depreciation under the composite (group) method using the straight-line method at FERC prescribed rates that are applied to the cost of the group for transmission facilities.

Measurements of AROs include, as a component of future expected costs, an estimate of the price that a third party would demand, and could expect to receive, for bearing the uncertainties inherent in the obligations, sometimes referred to as a market-risk premium. The ARO asset is depreciated in a manner consistent with the expected timing of the future abandonment of the underlying physical assets. We measure changes in the liability due to passage of time by applying an interest method of allocation. </span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Allowance for Funds Used During Construction</span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">Allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) represents the estimated cost of borrowed and equity funds applicable to utility plant in process of construction and are included as a cost of property, plant and equipment because it constitutes an actual cost of construction under established regulatory practices.

The regulatory liability was recorded in December 2017, of $18.3 million.

Under ARAM, the excess accumulated deferred income taxes will reverse at the weighted average rate at which the deferred taxes were built over the remaining book life of the property to which those deferred taxes relate. As of December 31, 2024, Overthrust had amortized (flowed back to customers) $2.2 million of the EDIT.</span></div><div style="margin-top:12pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Note 3.
