NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

March 31, 2022

1. INTRODUCTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Introduction

CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (referred to as "CorEnergy" or "the Company"), was organized as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations on December 8, 2005. The Company's common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "CORR" and its depositary shares representing Series A Preferred Stock are listed on the NYSE under the symbol "CORR PrA".

The Company owns and operates critical energy midstream infrastructure connecting the upstream and downstream sectors within the industry. The Company currently generates revenue from the transportation, via pipeline, of crude oil and natural gas for its customers in California and Missouri, respectively. The pipelines are located in areas where it would be difficult to replicate rights of way or transport crude oil or natural gas via non-pipeline alternatives resulting in the Company's assets providing utility-like criticality in the midstream supply chain for its customers.

CorEnergy's Private Letter Rulings ("PLRs") enable the Company to invest in a broader set of revenue contracts within its REIT structure, including the opportunity to not only own but also operate infrastructure assets. CorEnergy has determined its investments in these energy infrastructure assets to be a single reportable business segment and reports them accordingly in its consolidated financial statements.

Crimson Acquisition

On February 4, 2021, the Company leveraged its PLRs and acquired a 49.50 percent voting interest in Crimson Midstream Holdings, LLC ("Crimson"), a California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") regulated crude oil pipeline owner and operator. The acquired assets include four critical infrastructure pipeline systems spanning approximately 2,000 miles (including approximately 1,100 active miles) across northern, central and southern California, connecting desirable native California crude production to in-state refineries producing state-mandated specialized fuel blends, among other products. This interest was acquired effective February 1, 2021 and is referred to throughout this Report as the "Crimson Transaction."

Management Internalization

On February 4, 2021, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with Richard C. Green, Rick Kreul, Rebecca M. Sandring, Sean DeGon, Jeff Teeven, Jeffrey E. Fulmer, David J. Schulte (as Trustee of the DJS Trust under Trust Agreement dated July 18, 2016), and Campbell Hamilton, Inc., which is an entity controlled by David J. Schulte (collectively, the "Contributors"), and Corridor InfraTrust Management, LLC ("Corridor" or the "Manager"), the Company's external manager, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire Corridor, its external manager.

The required stockholder approval was received at the Company’s Annual Meeting on June 29, 2021, and the Internalization and all related transactions closed on July 6, 2021 for a total consideration of approximately $14.6 million in equity of the Company. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Company issued (i) 1,153,846 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 683,761 shares of Class B Common Stock, and (iii) 170,213 depositary shares representing our Series A Preferred Stock.

Following the Internalization, our senior management team continues to oversee, manage and operate the Company, and the Company is no longer externally managed by our former Manager. As an internally managed company, the Company no longer pays the former Manager any fees or expense reimbursements arising from the Management Agreement but rather incurs the former Manager's direct employee compensation and office related expenses.

The principal executive offices of our Company are located at 1100 Walnut, Suite 3350, Kansas City, Missouri 64106. Our telephone number is (816) 875-3705.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include CorEnergy accounts and the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which CorEnergy is the primary beneficiary. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") set forth in the


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), and with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. There were no adjustments that, in the opinion of management, were not of a normal and recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation, and the Company's net earnings have been reduced by the portion of net earnings attributable to non-controlling interests, when applicable. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform with the current presentation.

The Company consolidates a VIE when it is the primary beneficiary, which is the party that has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (ii) through its interests in the VIE, the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. In order to determine whether it owns a variable interest in a VIE, the Company performs a qualitative analysis of the entity's design, primary decision makers, key agreements governing the VIE, voting interests and significant activities impacting the VIE's economic performance. The Company continually monitors consolidated VIEs to determine if any events have occurred that could cause the primary beneficiary to change.

As described above, the Company acquired a 49.50 percent voting interest in Crimson, which is a legal entity that meets the VIE criteria. As a result of its consolidation analysis more fully described in Note 16 ("Variable Interest Entity"), the Company determined it is the primary beneficiary of Crimson due to its related party relationship with Crimson's 50.50 percent voting interest holder. Therefore, beginning February 1, 2021, Crimson is consolidated in the Company's consolidated financial statements and the non-controlling interest is presented as a component of equity. Refer to Note 14 ("Stockholders' Equity") for further discussion of the non-controlling interest in Crimson. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of any limited partnerships where the Company represents the general partner and, based on all facts and circumstances, controls such limited partnerships, unless the limited partner has substantive participating rights or substantive kick-out rights. Refer to Note 16 ("Variable Interest Entity"), for further discussion of the Company's consolidated VIEs.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any other interim or annual period. These consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with CorEnergy's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022 (the "2021 CorEnergy 10-K").

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" ("ASU 2016-13"), which introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The new model, referred to as the current expected credit losses ("CECL model"), will apply to financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In November of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) Effective Dates, which deferred the effective dates of these standards for certain entities. Based on the guidance for smaller reporting companies, the effective date of ASU 2016-13 is deferred for the Company until fiscal year 2023 with early adoption permitted, and the Company has elected to defer adoption of this standard.

Although the Company has elected to defer adoption of ASU 2016-13, it will continue to evaluate the potential impact of the standard on its consolidated financial statements. As part of its ongoing assessment work, the Company has completed training on the CECL model and has begun developing policies, processes and internal controls.

In March of 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)" ("ASU 2020-04"). In response to concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates including the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable and less susceptible to manipulation. The provisions of ASU 2020-04 are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have debt or hedging contracts, among other contracts, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04, among other things, provides optional expedients and exceptions for a limited period of time for applying U.S. GAAP to these contracts if certain criteria are met to ease the potential burden in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The

Company is currently evaluating its contracts that reference LIBOR and the optional expedients and exceptions provided by the FASB.

3. ACQUISITIONS

Crimson Midstream Holdings, LLC

Effective February 1, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of a 49.50 percent interest in Crimson (which includes a 49.50 percent voting interest and the right to 100.0 percent of the economic benefit of Crimson's business, after satisfying the distribution rights of the remaining equity holders) for total consideration with a fair value of $343.8 million after giving effect to the initial working capital adjustments and with the right to acquire the remaining 50.50 percent voting interest, subject to CPUC approval. After giving effect to the initial working capital adjustments, the consideration consisted of a combination of cash on hand of $74.6 million, commitments to issue new common and preferred equity valued at $115.3 million, contribution of the Grand Isle Gathering System ("GIGS") asset with a fair value of $48.9 million to the sellers and $105.0 million in new term loan and revolver borrowings, all as detailed further below. The consideration was subject to a final working capital adjustment. Crimson is a CPUC regulated crude oil pipeline owner and operator, and its assets include four critical infrastructure pipeline systems spanning approximately 2,000 miles (including 1,100 active miles) across northern, central and southern California, connecting California crude production to in-state refineries.

To effect the Crimson Transaction, on February 4, 2021, the Company entered into and consummated a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "MIPA") with CGI Crimson Holdings, L.L.C. ("Carlyle"), Crimson, and John D. Grier and certain affiliated trusts of Grier (the "Grier Members"). Pursuant to the terms of the MIPA, the Company acquired all of the Class C Units of Crimson owned by Carlyle, which represents 49.50 percent of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Crimson for approximately $66.0 million in cash (net of initial working capital adjustments) and the transfer to Carlyle of the Company's interest in GIGS (as further described in Note 5 ("Leased Properties And Leases")). Crimson Midstream Operating and Corridor MoGas also entered into a $105.0 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo (as further described below and in Note 13 ("Debt")).

Simultaneously, Crimson, the Company, and the Grier Members entered into the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement ("Third LLC Agreement”) of Crimson. Pursuant to the terms of the Third LLC Agreement, the Grier Members' outstanding membership interests in Crimson were exchanged for 1,613,202 Class A-1 Units of Crimson, 2,436,000 Class A-2 Units of Crimson and 2,450,142 Class A-3 Units of Crimson, which, as described in Note 14 ("Stockholders' Equity"), may eventually be exchangeable for shares of the Company's common and preferred stock. The Company received 10,000 Class B-1 Units, which represent the Company's economic interest in Crimson. The Class A-1 Units issued were subject to a final working capital adjustment. Additionally, 495,000 Class C-1 Units (representing 49.50 percent of the voting interests under the Third LLC Agreement) were issued to the Company in exchange for the former Class C Units acquired from Carlyle and 505,000 Class C-1 Units (representing 50.50 percent of the voting interests under the Third LLC Agreement) were issued to the Grier Members, in exchange for the Class C Units held by the Grier Members prior to the Crimson Transaction.

In June 2021, the final working capital adjustment was made for the Crimson Transaction which resulted in an increase in the assets acquired of $1,790,455. This resulted in an additional 37,043 Class A-1 Units being issued to the Grier Members for their 50.50 percent ownership interest and $907,728 of additional cash being paid for the 49.50 percent ownership interest CorEnergy purchased. The newly issued units resulted in an increase in the aggregate value of non-controlling interest of $882,726 and increased the Grier Members' total Class A-1 Units to 1,650,245. After the working capital adjustment and paid-in-kind dividends, the Grier Members' equity ownership interest is 50.62 percent as of March 31, 2022.

The acquisition was treated as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction. The allocation of purchase price was based on management's judgment after evaluating several factors, including a valuation assessment. The following is a summary of the final allocation of the purchase price:

(1) Amounts recorded for property and equipment include land, buildings, lease assets, leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $1.8 million working capital adjustment primarily related to the valuation of land. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments relating to (i) rights of way and pipelines, which resulted in $734 thousand additional depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2021 and (ii) accrued office lease in the amount of $250 thousand, which is netted against the $1.8 million working capital adjustment.
(2) Includes a non-controlling interest for Grier Members' equity consideration in the A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units (including the 37,043 newly issued A-1 Units) with a total fair value of $116.2 million. Refer to "Fair Value of Non-controlling Interest" below and Note 14 ("Stockholders' Equity") for further details.
(3) In addition to the newly issued Class A-1 Units, CorEnergy also paid $907,728 in cash as a contribution to Crimson Midstream Holdings, LLC.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities Acquired

The fair value of property and equipment was determined from an external valuation performed by an unrelated third party specialist based on the cost methodology. The preliminary fair value measurement of tangible assets is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. The significant unobservable input used includes a discount rate based on an estimated weighted average cost of capital of a theoretical market participant. The Company utilized a weighted average discount rate of 14.0 percent when deriving the fair value of the property and equipment acquired. The weighted average discount rate reflects management's best estimate of inputs a market participant would utilize. In addition, the Company utilized revenue, cost and growth projections in its discounted cash flows to value the assets and liabilities acquired as well as relevant third-party valuation data for the pipeline right of ways. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, and accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short term, highly liquid nature. Inventory was valued based on average crude oil inventory prices, less an applicable discount to sell, at the acquisition date.

Fair Value of Non-controlling Interest

The fair value of the non-controlling interest for each of the A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units was determined from an external valuation performed by an unrelated third party specialist. As described in Note 14 ("Stockholders' Equity"), the A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units have the right to receive any distributions that the Company's Board of Directors determines would be payable as if they held (initially) the shares of Series C Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and Class B Common Stock, respectively, with all distributions on Class A-1 Units becoming tied to the Company's Series A Preferred Stock as of June 30, 2021 and distributions on the Class A-2 Units becoming tied to the Class B Common Stock as of July 7, 2021, as further described in Note 14 ("Stockholders' Equity"). To determine the fair value of the units on February 1, 2021, the third-party valuation specialists developed a Monte Carlo model to simulate a distribution of future prices underlying the CorEnergy securities associated with the A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units. The fair value measurement is based on observable inputs related to the Company's Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock, including stock price, historical volatility and dividend yield. The fair value measurement is also based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements. The significant unobservable inputs include a discount rate of 11.88 percent for the A-1 Units and 11.75 percent for the A-3 Units. The valuation for the A-2 Units assumed stockholder approval would be received to exchange the A-2 Units to Class B Common Stock instead of Series B Preferred Stock. Therefore, the valuation mirrors the assumptions utilized for the A-3 Units.


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company incurred transaction costs and financing costs at closing of approximately $2.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The Company also incurred due diligence costs and other financing costs of $783 thousand and $235 thousand, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Transaction and due diligence costs are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operation. Financing costs were capitalized as deferred debt issuance costs in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Pro Forma Results of Operations (Unaudited)

The following selected comparative unaudited pro forma revenue information for the three months ended March 31, 2021 assumes that the Crimson acquisition occurred at the beginning of 2021, and reflects the full results for the period presented. The pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to indicate the results of operations which would actually have occurred had the combination been in effect on the dates indicated, or which may occur in the future. These amounts have been calculated after applying the Company's accounting policies. The Company has excluded pro forma information related to net earnings (loss) as it is impracticable to provide the information as Crimson was part of a larger entity that was separated via a common control transfer at the closing of the Crimson Transaction. As a result, quarterly financial information has not been carved-out for the Crimson entities acquired in prior quarterly periods.

Corridor InfraTrust Management, LLC

On July 6, 2021, the Company consummated the internalization of the Company’s management company (the “Internalization”) pursuant to the previously announced Contribution Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2021 (the Contribution Agreement”), by and among the Company and the Contributors. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement and following approval by the Company’s stockholders, the Company, acquired Corridor, which owns the assets previously used by Corridor in its performance of the management functions previously provided to the Company. Upon closing of the Internalization, the Company became an internally managed real estate investment trust. As an internally managed company, the Company no longer pays the former Manager any fees or expense reimbursements arising from the Management Agreement but rather incurs the former Manager's direct employee compensation and office related expenses.

The Internalization was consummated for a purchase price of approximately $14.6 million, payable in equity. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Company issued to the Contributors, based on each Contributor's percentage ownership in Corridor, an aggregate of: (i) 1,153,846 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 683,761 shares of Class B Common Stock, and (iii) 170,213 depositary shares of Series A Preferred Stock (collectively with the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, the "REIT Stock"). At closing, the Management Agreement and Administrative Agreement were both effectively terminated.

The acquisition is being treated as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction. The allocation of purchase price is based on management's judgment after evaluating several factors, including a valuation assessment.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, and accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short term, highly liquid nature.

4. TRANSPORTATION AND DISTRIBUTION REVENUE

The Company's contracts related to transportation and distribution revenue are primarily comprised of a mix of crude oil, natural gas supply and natural gas transportation and distribution performance obligations, as well as limited performance obligations related to system maintenance and improvement.

Crude Oil and Natural Gas Transportation and Distribution

Under the Company's (i) crude oil and natural gas transportation, (ii) natural gas supply and (iii) natural gas distribution performance obligations, the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of the services as the commodity is delivered. Therefore, the transaction price is allocated proportionally over the series of identical performance obligations with each contract, and the Company satisfies performance obligations over time as midstream transportation and distribution services are performed. The transaction price is calculated based on (i) index price, plus a contractual markup in the case of natural gas supply agreements (considered variable due to fluctuations in the index), (ii) CPUC and FERC regulated rates or negotiated rates in the case of transportation agreements and (iii) contracted amounts (with annual CPI escalators) in the case of the Company's distribution agreement.

The Company's crude oil transportation revenue also includes amounts earned for pipeline loss allowance ("PLA"). PLA revenue, recorded within transportation revenue, represents the estimated realizable value of the earned loss allowance volumes received by the Company as applicable under the tariff or contract. As is common in the pipeline transportation industry, as crude oil is transported, the Company earns a small percentage of the crude oil volume transported to offset any measurement uncertainty or actual volumes lost in transit. The Company will settle the PLA with its shippers either in-kind or in cash. PLA received by the Company typically exceeds actual pipeline losses in transit and typically results in a benefit to the Company. For PLA volumes received in-kind, the Company records these in inventory.

When PLA is paid in-kind, the barrels are valued at current market price less standard deductions, recorded as inventory and recognized as non-cash consideration revenue, concurrent with related transportation services. PLA paid in cash is treated in the same way as in-kind, but no inventory is created. In accordance with ASC 606, when control of the PLA volumes have been transferred to the purchaser, the Company records this non-cash consideration as revenue at the contractual sales price within PLA revenue and PLA cost of revenues.

Based on the nature of the agreements, revenue for all but one of the Company's natural gas supply, transportation and distribution performance obligations is recognized on a right to invoice basis as the performance obligations are met, which represents what the Company expects to receive in consideration and is representative of value delivered to the customer.

System Maintenance & Improvement

System maintenance and improvement contracts are specific and tailored to the customer's needs, have no alternative use and have an enforceable right to payment as the services are provided. Revenue is recognized on an input method, based on the actual cost of service as a measure of the performance obligation satisfaction. Differences between amounts invoiced and revenue recognized under the input method are reflected as an asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The costs of system improvement projects are recognized as a financing arrangement in accordance with guidance in the lease standard while the margin is recognized in accordance with the revenue standard as discussed above.

The Company's contract asset balance was $40 thousand and $40 thousand as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company also recognized deferred contract costs related to incremental costs to obtain a transportation performance obligation contract, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the contract. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining unamortized deferred contract costs balance was approximately $829 thousand. The contract asset and deferred contract costs balances are included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

5. LEASED PROPERTIES AND LEASES

LESSOR - LEASED PROPERTIES

Prior to 2021, the Company primarily acquired midstream and downstream assets in the U.S. energy sector such as pipelines, storage terminals, and gas and electric distribution systems and, historically, leased many of these assets to operators under triple-net leases. The Company divested all of its leased assets including GIGS on February 4, 2021 as described further below.

Sale and Impairment of the Grand Isle Gathering System

As discussed in Note 3 ("Acquisitions"), on February 4, 2021, the Company contributed the GIGS asset as partial consideration for the acquisition of its interest in Crimson resulting in its disposal, along with the asset retirement obligation (collectively, the "GIGS Disposal Group"), which was assumed by the sellers. Upon meeting the held for sale criteria in mid-January 2021, the Company ceased recording depreciation on the GIGS asset. The GIGS asset had a carrying value of $63.5 million and the asset retirement obligation had a carrying value of $8.8 million, or a net carrying value of $54.7 million for the GIGS Disposal Group. The GIGS asset had a fair value of approximately $48.9 million at the time of disposal, which was determined by a discounted cash flow model and utilized the forecast of a market participant and their expected operation of the asset. The fair value measurement is also based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements. The significant unobservable inputs include a discount rate of 11.75 percent. The contribution of the GIGS Disposal Group resulted in a loss on impairment and disposal of leased property of $5.8 million in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Termination of the Grand Isle Lease Agreement

In connection with the GIGS disposition, the Company and Grand Isle Corridor entered into a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") with the EGC Tenant, EGC, and CEXXI, LLC (the "EXXI Entities") related to the previously reported litigation between them and terminated the Grand Isle Lease Agreement. The termination of the Grand Isle Lease Agreement resulted in the write-off of deferred lease costs of $166 thousand, which is recorded as a loss on termination of lease in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

LESSEE - LEASED PROPERTIES

The Company and its subsidiaries currently lease land, corporate office space and single-use office space. During 2021, the Company acquired additional right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities with the Crimson Transaction and with the


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

Internalization. Additionally, the Company signed a new lease for the Denver corporate office. The Company's leases are classified as operating leases and presented as operating right-of-use asset and operating lease liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. The Company noted the following information regarding its operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:


	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021
Lease cost:
Operating lease cost	$	446,601	$	241,182
Short term lease cost	—		102,014

Other Information:
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities
Operating cash flows from operating leases	$	758,849	$	586,481

Variable lease costs were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

The following table reflects the weighted average lease term and discount rate for leases in which the Company is a lessee:



	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases (in years)	9.9		10.0
Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases	7.10	%	7.04	%

6. FINANCING NOTES RECEIVABLE

Financing notes receivable are presented at face value plus accrued interest receivable and deferred loan origination costs, and net of related direct loan origination income. Each quarter the Company reviews its financing notes receivable to determine if the balances are realizable based on factors affecting the collectability of those balances. Factors may include credit quality, timeliness of required periodic payments, past due status, and management discussions with obligors. The Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal of each of its loans to determine if an allowance is needed. An allowance will be recorded when, based on current information and events, the Company determines it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms.

Four Wood Financing Note Receivable

On August 10, 2021, the terms of the Compass REIT Loan were amended (i) to extend the maturity date from November 30, 2024 to July 31, 2026 and (ii) to reduce payments to $24 thousand per month through the maturity date beginning as of August 31, 2021. Additionally, the amended Compass REIT Loan will continue to accrue interest at an annual rate of 12.0 percent. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Compass REIT Loan was valued at $1.0 million, and $1.0 million, respectively.

On May 22, 2020, the terms of the Compass REIT Loan were amended (i) to extend the maturity date from June 30, 2021 to November 30, 2024 and (ii) to reduce payments to interest only through December 31, 2020. Additionally, the amended Compass REIT Loan will continue to accrue interest at an annual rate of 8.5 percent through May 31, 2021. Subsequent to May 31, 2021 interest will accrue at an annual rate of 12.0 percent. Monthly principal payments of approximately $11 thousand resumed on January 1, 2021 and will increase annually beginning on June 30, 2021 through the maturity date.

On December 12, 2018, Four Wood Corridor granted SWD Enterprises, LLC, the previous debtor, approval to sell the assets securing the SWD loans to Compass SWD, LLC ("Compass SWD") in exchange for Compass SWD executing a new loan agreement with Four Wood Corridor for $1.3 million (the "Compass REIT Loan"). On June 12, 2019, Four Wood Corridor entered into an amended and restated Compass REIT Loan. The amended note had a two-year term maturing on June 30, 2021 with monthly principal payments of approximately $11 thousand and interest accruing on the outstanding principal at an annual rate of 8.5 percent. The amended and restated Compass REIT Loan is secured by real and personal property that provides saltwater disposal services for the oil and natural gas industry and pledged ownership interests of Compass SWD members.

7. INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Components of the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are as follows:


Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Deferred Tax Assets:

Deferred contract revenue	$	1,298,150	$	1,333,510
Net operating loss carryforwards	6,853,050		6,929,821





Capital loss carryforward	92,418		92,418
Other	367		366
Sub-total	$	8,243,985	$	8,356,115
Valuation allowance	(3,690,371)		(3,891,342)
Sub-total	$	4,553,614	$	4,464,773
Deferred Tax Liabilities:


Cost recovery of leased and fixed assets	$	(4,344,242)	$	(4,187,621)
Other	(75,300)		(70,867)
Sub-total	$	(4,419,542)	$	(4,258,488)
Total net deferred tax asset	$	134,072	$	206,285

As of March 31, 2022, the total deferred tax assets and liabilities presented above relate to the Company's taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"). The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company's policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as part of tax expense. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. Tax years beginning with the year ended December 31, 2018 remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the TRSs had cumulative net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL") of $28.5 million and $28.7 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, net operating losses of $25.4 million and $25.5 million, respectively, that were generated during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 may be carried forward indefinitely, subject to limitation. Net operating losses generated for years prior to December 31, 2018 may be carried forward for 20 years.

Management assessed the available evidence and determined that it is more likely than not that the capital loss carryforward will not be utilized prior to expiration. Due to the uncertainty of realizing this deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance for Corridor Private of $92 thousand was recorded equal to the amount of the tax benefit of this carryforward at both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively and $3.6 million and $3.8 million valuation allowance for Corridor MoGas at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In the future, if the Company concludes, based on existence of sufficient evidence, that it should realize more or less of its deferred tax assets, the valuation allowance will be adjusted accordingly in the period such conclusion is made.

The Company provides for income taxes during interim periods based on the estimated effective tax rate for the year and any discrete adjustments. The effective tax rate is subject to change in the future due to various factors such as the operating performance of the taxable REIT subsidiaries, tax law changes, and future business acquisitions or divestitures. The taxable subsidiaries’ effective tax rates were 13.6 percent and 65.3 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

9. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

On June 29, 2021, the CorEnergy common stockholders approved the internalization of the manager, Corridor InfraTrust Management, LLC. The Internalization transaction was completed on July 6, 2021. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Company issued to the Contributors, based on each Contributor's percentage ownership in Corridor, an aggregate of: (i) 1,153,846 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 683,761 shares of the newly created Class B Common Stock, and (iii) 170,213 depositary shares of the Company’s 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (collectively, the "Internalization Consideration").

As a result of the Internalization transaction, the Company now (i) owns all material assets of Corridor used in the conduct of the business, and (ii) is managed by officers and employees who previously worked for Corridor, and have become employees of the Company. Both the Management Agreement and the Administrative Agreement are no longer in effect upon the closing of the Internalization Transaction. Additional information on the Internalization Transaction can be found on our Current Report in Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 12, 2021.

Contemporaneously with the execution of the Contribution Agreement, the Company and Corridor entered into the First Amendment (the "First Amendment") to the Management Agreement dated as of May 8, 2015 (as amended, the "Management Agreement") that had the effect, beginning February 1, 2021, of (i) eliminating the management fee, (ii) providing a one-time, $1.0 million advance to Corridor to fund bonus payments to its employees in connection with the Internalization and (iii) providing payments to Corridor for actual employee compensation and office related expenses. Further, the First Amendment provided that, beginning April 1, 2021, the Company paid Corridor additional cash fees equivalent to the aggregate amount of all distributions that would accrue, if declared, on and after such date with respect to the securities to be issued as the


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

Internalization Consideration pursuant to the Contribution Agreement (an amount, assuming payment on a cash basis equal to approximately $172 thousand per quarter). This agreement was in effect until the closing of the Internalization on July 6, 2021.

Fees incurred under the Management Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $1.9 million, and consisted of (i) $321 thousand for January 2021 management fees, (ii) $1.0 million related to a transaction bonus outlined in the Contribution Agreement, and (iii) $608 thousand for reimbursement of Corridor employee compensation and office related expenses under the First Amendment. The Company also reimbursed Corridor for approximately $50 thousand in legal fees incurred in connection with the Internalization and paid investment advisors $1.9 million in connection with the execution of the Contribution Agreement. Fees incurred under the Management Agreement are reported in the general and administrative line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Prior to the closing of the Internalization, the Company paid its administrator, Corridor, pursuant to an Administrative Agreement. Fees incurred under the Administrative Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $13 thousand. Fees incurred under the Administrative Agreement are reported in the general and administrative line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

10. GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net identifiable assets on acquisition of a business. The carrying value of goodwill, which is not amortized, is assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances arise that suggest the carrying value of goodwill may be impaired. The Company performs its annual impairment test of the carrying value of goodwill on December 31 of each year.

The Company's most recent annual assessment of the goodwill balance was performed on December 31, 2021, using the step 0 qualitative goodwill impairment assessment. The Company's assessment of goodwill did not result in an impairment charge. The Company did not identify an indication of goodwill impairment as of March 31, 2022.

Goodwill was as follows:


	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021


Goodwill	$	16,210,020	$	16,210,020

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Crimson Legal Proceedings

On October 30, 2014, the owner of a property on which Crimson built a valve access vault filed an action against Crimson, claiming that Crimson's pre-existing pipeline easement did not authorize the construction of the vault. Crimson responded by filing a condemnation action on October 26, 2015 to acquire new easements for the vault and related pipeline, and the cases were consolidated into one action, Crimson California Pipeline L.P. v. Noarus Properties, Inc.; and Does 1 through 99, Case No. BC598951, in the Los Angeles Superior Court-Central District. The property owner has claimed damages/compensation in the approximate amount of $11.7 million. The judge currently presiding over this case has rescheduled a jury trial for fall of 2022 to determine the amount of damages, pending the determination of procedural issues in the case on which the judge has requested further briefing. Crimson is vigorously defending itself against the claims asserted by the property owner in this matter and, while the outcome cannot be predicted, management believes the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

As a transporter of crude oil, Crimson is subject to various environmental regulations that could subject the Company to future monetary obligations. Crimson has received notices of violations and potential fines under various federal, state and local provisions relating to the discharge of materials into the environment or protection of the environment. Management believes that even if any one or more of these environmental proceedings were decided against Crimson, it would not be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and the Company maintains insurance coverage for environmental liabilities in amounts that management believes to be appropriate and customary for the Company's business.

The Company also is subject to various other claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arose in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all such matters are adequately covered by insurance or by established reserves, and, if not so covered, are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, as would not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

California Bonds Indemnification

The Company maintains certain agreements for indemnity and surety bonds with various California regulatory bodies. The total annual premium paid for the bonds currently outstanding is approximately $115 thousand, recorded in General and administrative expense.

12. FAIR VALUE

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value, but fair value is included for disclosure purposes only, as required under disclosure guidance related to the fair value of financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying value of cash, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements approximates fair value.

Financing Notes Receivable — The financing notes receivable are valued on a non-recurring basis. The financing notes receivable are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Financing notes with carrying values that are not expected to be recovered through future cash flows are written-down to their estimated net realizable value. Estimates of realizable value are determined based on unobservable inputs, including estimates of future cash flow generation and value of collateral underlying the notes.

Inventory - Inventory primarily consists of crude oil earned as in-kind PLA payments and is valued using an average costing method at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Secured Credit Facilities — The fair value of the Company's long-term variable-rate and fixed-rate debt under its secured credit facilities approximates carrying value.

Unsecured Convertible Senior Notes — The fair value of the unsecured convertible senior notes is estimated using quoted market prices from either active (Level 1) or generally active (Level 2) markets.

Crimson Credit Facility

On February 4, 2021, in connection with the Crimson Transaction, Crimson Midstream Operating and Corridor MoGas, (collectively, the "Borrowers"), together with Crimson, MoGas Debt Holdco LLC, MoGas, CorEnergy Pipeline Company, LLC, United Property Systems, Crimson Pipeline, LLC and Cardinal Pipeline, L.P. (collectively, the "Guarantors") entered into the Crimson Credit Facility with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, as administrative agent for other participating lenders. The Crimson Credit Facility provides borrowing capacity of up to $155.0 million, consisting of: a $50.0 million revolving credit facility ("Crimson Revolver"), an $80.0 million term loan ("Crimson Term Loan") and an uncommitted incremental credit facility of $25.0 million. Upon closing of the Crimson Transaction described in Note 3 ("Acquisitions"), the Borrowers drew the $80.0 million Crimson Term Loan and $25.0 million on the Crimson Revolver. Subsequent to the initial closing, on March 25, 2021, Crimson contributed all of its equity interests in Crimson Midstream Services, LLC and Crimson Midstream I Corporation to Crimson Midstream Operating, and, effective as of May 4, 2021, such subsidiaries have become additional Guarantors pursuant to the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement and parties to the Amended and Restated Security Agreement and (in the case of Crimson Midstream I Corporation) the Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement.

The loans under the Crimson Credit Facility mature on February 4, 2024. The Crimson Term Loan requires quarterly payments of $2.0 million in arrears on the last business day of March, June, September and December, commencing on June 30, 2021. Subject to certain conditions, all loans made under the Crimson Credit Facility shall, at the option of the Borrowers, bear interest at either (a) LIBOR plus a spread of 325 to 450 basis points, or (b) a rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate established by the Administrative Agent, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus a spread of 225 to 350 basis points. The applicable spread for each interest rate is based on the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Crimson Credit Facility); however, the initial interest rate is set at the top level of the pricing grid until the first compliance reporting event for the period ended June 30, 2021.

Outstanding balances under the facility are guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant to the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement and secured by all assets of the Borrowers and Guarantors (including the equity in such parties), other than any assets regulated by the CPUC and other customary excluded assets, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement and an Amended and Restated Security Agreement. Under the terms of the Crimson Credit Facility, the Borrowers and their restricted subsidiaries will be subject to certain financial covenants commencing with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 as follows (i): the total leverage ratio shall not be greater than: (a) 3.00 to 1.00 commencing with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021 through and including the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021; (b) 2.75 to 1.00 commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 through and including the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022; and (c) 2.50 to 1.00 commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter and (ii) the debt service coverage ratio, shall not be less than 2.00 to 1.00.

Cash distributions to the Company from the Borrowers are subject to certain restrictions, including without limitation, no default or event of default, compliance with financial covenants, minimum undrawn availability and available free cash flow. The Borrowers and their restricted subsidiaries are also subject to certain additional affirmative and negative covenants customary for credit transactions of this type. The Crimson Credit Facility contains default and cross-default provisions (with applicable customary grace or cure periods) customary for transactions of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, payment of all amounts outstanding under the Crimson Credit Facility may become immediately due and payable at the election of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Crimson Credit Facility).

Convertible Debt

5.875% Convertible Notes

On August 12, 2019, the Company completed a private placement offering of $120.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 (the "5.875% Convertible Notes") to the initial purchasers of such notes for cash in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The initial purchasers then resold the 5.875% Convertible Notes for cash equal to 100 percent of the aggregate principal amount thereof to qualified institutional buyers, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A. The 5.875% Convertible Notes mature on August 15, 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 5.875 percent per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2020.

The 5.875% Convertible Notes were issued with an initial purchasers' discount of $3.5 million, which is being amortized over the life of the notes. The Company also incurred approximately $508 thousand of deferred debt costs in issuing the 5.875% Convertible Notes, which are also being amortized over the life of the notes.

Holders may convert all or any portion of their 5.875% Convertible Notes into shares of the Company's Common Stock at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The initial conversion rate for the 5.875% Convertible Notes is 20.0 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 5.875% Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of $50.00 per share of the Company's Common Stock. Such conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events as specified in the Indenture.

The Indenture for the 5.875% Convertible Notes specifies events of default, including default by the Company or any of its subsidiaries with respect to any debt agreements under which there may be outstanding, or by which there may be secured or evidenced, any debt in excess of $25.0 million in the aggregate of the Company and/or any such subsidiary, resulting in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to its stated maturity.

On April 29, 2020, the Company repurchased approximately $2.0 million face amount of its 5.875% Convertible Notes. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has $118.1 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Convertible Notes outstanding.

NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST

As disclosed in Note 3 ("Acquisitions") as part of the Crimson Transaction, the Company and the Grier Members entered into the Third LLC Agreement of Crimson. Pursuant to the terms of the Third LLC Agreement, the Grier Members and the Company's interests in Crimson are summarized in the table below:



	As of March 31, 2022
		Grier Members		CorEnergy
		(in units, except as noted)
Economic ownership interests in Crimson Midstream Holdings, LLC
Class A-1 Units		1,650,245		—
Class A-2 Units		2,460,414		—
Class A-3 Units		2,450,142		—

Class B-1 Units		—		10,000

Voting interests of C-1 Units (%)		50.50	%	49.50	%
Equity interests of C-1 Units (%)		50.62	%	49.38	%

In June 2021, the final working capital adjustment was made for the Crimson Transaction which resulted in an increase in the assets acquired of $1,790,455 (as further described above in Note 3 ("Acquisitions")). This resulted in 37,043 Class A-1 Units being issued to the Grier Members for their 50.50% equity ownership interest. The newly issued units resulted in an increase in non-controlling interest of $882,726. After the working capital adjustment and paid-in-kind dividends, the Grier Members' equity ownership interest is 50.62 percent as of March 31, 2022.

After working capital adjustments, the fair value of the Grier Members' noncontrolling interest, which is represented by the A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units listed above, was $116.2 million. As described further below, the A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units may eventually be exchanged for shares of the Company's common and preferred stock subject to the approval of the CPUC ("CPUC Approval"), which is expected to occur in 2022. The A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units held by the Grier Members and the B-1 Units held by the Company represent economic interests in Crimson while the Class C-1 Units represent voting interests.

Upon CPUC Approval, the parties will enter into a Fourth Amended and Restated LLC Agreement of Crimson ("Fourth LLC Agreement"), which will, among other things, (i) give the Company control of Crimson and its assets, in connection with an anticipated further restructuring of the Company's asset ownership structure and (ii) provide the Grier Members and Management Members (as defined below) the right to exchange their entire interest in Crimson for securities of the Company as follows:

•Class A-1 Units will become exchangeable for up to 1,755,579, (which includes the addition of 37,043 shares as a result of the working capital adjustment) of the Company's depositary shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of the Company's 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred")

•Class A-2 units will become exchangeable for up to 8,762,158 shares of the Company's non-listed Class B Common Stock, and

•Class A-3 Units will become exchangeable for up to 2,450,142 shares of the Company's non-listed Class B Common Stock.

Class B Common Stock will eventually be converted into the Common Stock of the Company ("Common Stock") on the occurrence of the earlier of the following: (i) the occurrence of the third anniversary of the closing date of the Crimson Transaction or (ii) the satisfaction of certain conditions related to an increase in the relative dividend rate of the Common Stock.

Prior to exchange of the Crimson Class A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units into corresponding CORR securities (and after giving effect to the changes to the CORR securities into which the Class A-1 and A-2 Units may be exchanged, as described above), the Grier Members only have the right to receive distributions to the extent that the Company's Board of Directors determines dividends would be payable if they held the shares of Series A Preferred (for the Class A-1 Units), Series B Preferred (for the Class A-2 Units prior to July 7, 2021), and Class B Common Stock (for the Class A-2 Units (on and after July 7, 2021) and Class A-3 Units), respectively, regardless of whether the securities are outstanding. If the respective shares of Series A Preferred, Series B


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

Preferred and Class B Common Stock are not outstanding, the Company's Board of Directors must consider that they would be outstanding when declaring dividends on the Common Stock. Following CPUC Approval, the terms of the Fourth LLC Agreement provide that such rights will continue until the Grier Members elect to exchange the A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units for the related securities of the Company. The following table summarizes the distributions payable under the A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units as if the Grier Members held the respective underlying Company securities. The A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units are entitled to the distribution regardless of whether the corresponding Company security is outstanding.

(3) (A) For the fiscal quarters of the Company ending June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, the Common Stock Base Dividend Per Share shall equal $0.05 per share per quarter; (B) for the fiscal quarters of the Company ending June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, the Common Stock Base Dividend Per Share shall equal $0.055 per share per quarter; and (C) for the fiscal quarters of the Company ending June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, December 31, 2023 and March 30, 2024, the Common Stock Base Dividend Per Share shall equal $0.06 per share per quarter. The Class B Common Stock dividend is subordinated based on a distribution formula described in footnote (4) below.

(4) For each fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 through and including the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024, each share of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends (the "Class B Common Stock Dividends"), subject to Board approval, equal to the quotient of (i) difference of (A) CAFD of the most recently completed quarter and (B) 1.25 multiplied by the Common Stock Base Dividend, divided by (ii) shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding multiplied by 1.25.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, distributions in the amount of $809,212 were paid to the Grier Members for the Class A-1 Units. No distributions were paid to the Class A-2 or A-3 Units as no distributions were declared on the Class B Common Stock. See Note 18 ("Subsequent Events") for further information regarding the declaration of distributions related to the Class A-1.

SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENTS

On October 30, 2018, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC, pursuant to which it registered 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under its dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP"). As of March 31, 2022, the Company has issued 173,866 shares of Common Stock under its DRIP pursuant to the shelf, resulting in remaining availability of approximately 826,134 shares of Common Stock.

On September 16, 2021, the Company had a resale shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC, pursuant to which it registered the following securities that were issued in connection with the Internalization for resale by the Contributors: 1,837,607 shares of Common Stock (including both (i) 1,153,846 shares of Common Stock issued at the closing of the Internalization and (ii) up to 683,761 additional shares of Common Stock which may be acquired by the Contributors upon the conversion of outstanding shares of our unlisted Class B Common Stock issued at the closing of the Internalization) and 170,213 depositary shares each representing 1/100th fractional interest of a share of 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share issued at the closing of the Internalization.

On November 3, 2021, the Company filed a new shelf registration statement to replace its prior shelf registration statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 17, 2021 and permits the Company to publically offer additional debt or equity securities with an aggregate offering price of up to $600.0 million. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has not issued any securities under this new shelf registration statement, so total availability remains at $600.0 million.

15. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share data is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings (loss) per share data is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock outstanding, including all potentially issuable shares of Common Stock. Diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 excludes the impact to income and the number of shares outstanding from the conversion of the 5.875% Convertible Notes, because such impact is antidilutive.


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

Under the if converted method, the 5.875% Convertible Notes would result in an additional 2,361,000, common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

16. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

Crimson Midstream Holdings

Since February 1, 2021, CorEnergy has held a 49.50 percent voting interest in Crimson and the Grier Members have held the remaining 50.50 percent voting interest. Crimson is a VIE as the legal entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights resulting from (i) the disproportionality between the voting interests of its members and certain economics of the distribution waterfall in the Third LLC Agreement and (ii) the de facto agent relationship between CorEnergy and Grier, who was appointed to CorEnergy's Board of Directors upon closing of the Crimson Transaction. As a result of this related party relationship, substantially all of Crimson's activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of CorEnergy that has disproportionately few voting rights, including Grier as a de facto agent. After the working capital adjustment and paid-in-kind dividends, the Grier Members' equity ownership interest is 50.62 percent as of March 31, 2022.

Crimson is managed by the Crimson Board, which is made up of four managers of which the Company and the Grier Members are each represented by two managers. The Crimson Board is responsible for governing the significant activities that impact Crimson's economic performance, including a number of activities which are managed by an approved budget that requires super-majority approval or joint approval. In assessing the primary beneficiary, the Company determined that power is shared; however, the Company and the Grier Members as a related party group have characteristics of a primary beneficiary. The Company performed the "most closely associated" test and determined that CorEnergy is the entity in the related party group most closely associated with the VIE. In performing this assessment, the Company considered (i) its influence over the tax structure of Crimson so its operations could be included in the Company's REIT structure under its PLR, which allows fees received for the usage of storage and pipeline capacity to qualify as rents from real property; (ii) the activities of the Company are substantially similar in nature to the activities of Crimson as the Company owns existing transportation and distribution assets at MoGas and Omega; (iii) Crimson's assets represent a substantial portion of the Company's total assets; and (iv) the Grier Members' interest in Crimson in Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Units will earn distributions if the CorEnergy Board of Directors declares a common or preferred dividend for Series A Preferred, and Class B Common Stock; among other factors. Therefore, CorEnergy is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the Crimson VIE and the Grier Members' equity ownership interest 50.62 percent (after the working capital adjustment and paid-in-kind dividends) is reflected as a non-controlling interest in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company noted that Crimson's assets cannot be used to settle CorEnergy's liabilities with the exception of quarterly distributions, if declared by the Crimson Board. The quarterly distributions are used to fund current obligations, projected working capital requirements, debt service payments and dividend payments. As discussed in Note 13 ("Debt"), cash distributions to the Company from the borrowers under the Crimson Credit Facility are subject to certain restrictions, including without limitation, no default or event of default, compliance with financial covenants, minimum undrawn availability and available free cash flow. Further, the Crimson Credit Facility is secured by assets at both Crimson Midstream Operating and Corridor MoGas, Inc. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company received $3.0 million and $6.7 million, respectively, in cash distributions from Crimson, which were in accordance with the terms of the Crimson Credit Facility.


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

The Company's interest in Crimson is significant to its financial position, financial performance and cash flows. A significant decline in Crimson's ability to fund quarterly distributions to the Company could have a significant impact on the Company's financial performance, including its ability to fund the obligations described above.

17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As previously disclosed, John D. Grier, a director and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, together with the Grier Members, own an aggregate 50.62 percent equity ownership interest in Crimson, which the Company has a right to acquire in the future, pursuant to the terms of the MIPA, following receipt of CPUC approval for a change of control of Crimson's CPUC regulated assets. The Grier Members also retain equity interests in Crescent Midstream Holdings, LLC (“Crescent Midstream Holdings”) which they held prior to the Crimson Transaction, as well as Crescent Louisiana Midstream, LLC ("CLM"), Crimson Renewable Energy, L.P. (“CRE”) and Delta Trading, L.P. (“Delta”).

As of March 31, 2022, the Company is owed $170 thousand from related parties, including CLM, CRE and Delta and owes $14 thousand to Crescent, which are included in due from affiliated companies and due to affiliated companies in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. These balances are primarily related to payroll, employee benefits and other services discussed below. The amounts billed to CLM are cash settled and the amounts billed to Crescent Midstream will reduce a prepaid TSA liability on the Company's books until such time as the TSA liability is reduced to zero. As of March 31, 2022, the prepaid TSA liability related to Crescent Midstream was $410 thousand and recorded in due to affiliated companies in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, Crimson billed TSA and Services Agreement related costs and benefits to related parties totaling $528 thousand, and $1.1 million, respectively.

Total transition services reimbursements for the TSAs discussed below are presented on a net basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within transportation and distribution expense and general and administrative expense.

Transition Services Agreements

The subsidiaries of Crescent Midstream Holdings, LLC were formerly a part of Crimson prior to the Crimson Transaction and received various business services from Crimson or certain of its subsidiaries. Effective February 4, 2021, Crimson, certain of Crimson's subsidiaries or a combination thereof, entered into several transition services agreements (collectively, the "Transition Services Agreements" or "TSAs") with Crescent Midstream Holdings to facilitate its transition to operating independently. Each of the TSAs are described in more detail below. Also effective February 4, 2021, Crimson and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to assign all of the TSAs to Crimson's direct, wholly-owned TRS, Crimson Midstream I Corporation ("Crimson Midstream I"). Crimson and/or certain of its subsidiaries were reimbursed approximately $156 thousand per month for services provided under the TSAs during 2021, for which the billed amount was allocated 50.0 percent to Crescent Midstream, LLC ("Crescent Midstream"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crescent Midstream Holdings, and 50.0 percent to Crescent Louisiana Midstream, LLC ("CLM"), a 70 percent owned subsidiary of Crescent Midstream. These TSA agreements ended on February 3, 2022 and Crimson entered into a Services Agreement for some of the business services previously provided as described below.

Employee TSA - Crimson and Crescent Midstream Holdings entered into a transition services agreement (the "Employee TSA") whereby an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Crimson provided payroll, employee benefits and other related employment services to Crescent Midstream Holdings and its subsidiaries. Under the Employee TSA, Crimson's indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary made available and assigned to Crescent Midstream Holdings and its subsidiaries certain employees to provide services primarily to Crescent Midstream Holdings and its subsidiaries. While the Employee TSA was in effect, Crescent Midstream Holdings was responsible for the daily supervision of and assignment of work to the employees providing services to Crescent Midstream Holdings and its subsidiaries. Additionally, Crimson's indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary Crimson Midstream Services entered into an Employee Sharing Agreement with Crimson Midstream I to make available all employees performing services under the Employee TSA to Crimson Midstream I. The Employee Sharing Agreement was effective beginning February 1, 2021. The Employee Sharing Agreement together with the Assignment and Assumption Agreement described above, effectively bound Crimson Midstream I to the terms of the Employee TSA in the same manner as Crimson's indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary. The Employee TSA and the Employee Sharing Agreement ended on February 3, 2022.

Control Center TSA - Crimson Midstream Operating, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crimson, entered into a transition services agreement (the "Control Center TSA") with Crescent Midstream Holdings to provide certain customary control center services and field transition support services necessary to operate a pipeline system. The Control Center TSA was assigned from Crimson Midstream Operating to Crimson Midstream I by the Assignment and Assumption Agreement discussed above. This agreement ended on February 3, 2022.


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

Insurance Coverage TSA - Crimson Midstream Operating and Crescent Midstream Operating, LLC ("Crescent Midstream Operating") (collectively, the "Insurance TSA Parties") entered into a transition services agreement (the "Insurance Coverage TSA") related to the remaining term of coverage on certain insurance policies which were shared by Crimson, certain of its subsidiaries (including Crimson Midstream Operating), Crescent Midstream Operating and certain other entities related to Crescent Midstream Operating (collectively, the "Insureds"). Under the Insurance Coverage TSA, the Insurance TSA Parties agreed to retain and maintain the certain insurance policies, and continue to split the premium payments among the Insureds in line with the historical practices prior to Crescent Midstream Holdings' spin-off from Crimson. By entering into the Insurance Coverage TSA, the Insurance TSA Parties acknowledged that any claims made which result in a loss by one of the Insureds will erode and may exhaust the shared limits and/or aggregates stated in any of the certain insurance policies. Additionally, under the terms of the Insurance Coverage TSA, it was agreed that the Insurance TSA Party which was directly responsible for any incident that results in any loss of coverage under any of the certain shared insurance policies may be primarily financially responsible for such self-insurance and/or covering any increase in costs of the certain insurance policy that occurred as a result of such incident. The Insurance Coverage TSA expired on May 31, 2021, and simultaneously, the Company, Crimson, and certain other subsidiaries of the Company obtained alternative insurance coverage effective through May 31, 2022.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in this Report on Form 10-Q ("Report") of CorEnergy Infrastructure, Inc. ("the Company," "CorEnergy," "we" or "us"). The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere in this Report involve risks and uncertainties, including anticipated financial performance, business prospects, industry trends, stockholder returns, performance by our customers, performance on loans to customers, and other matters, which reflect management's best judgment based on factors currently known. See "Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" which is incorporated herein by reference. Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2022, and in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors", in this Report.

OVERVIEW

We are a publicly traded real estate investment trust ("REIT") focused on energy infrastructure. Our business strategy is to own and operate critical energy midstream infrastructure connecting the upstream and downstream sectors within the industry. We currently generate revenue from the transportation, via pipeline, of crude oil and natural gas for our customers in California and Missouri. The pipelines are located in areas where it would be difficult to replicate rights of way or transport crude oil or natural gas via non-pipeline alternatives, resulting in our assets providing utility-like criticality in the midstream supply chain for our customers. As primarily regulated assets, the near to medium term value of our regulated pipelines is supported by revenue derived from cost-of-service methodology. The cost-of-service methodology is used to establish appropriate transportation rates based on several factors including expected volumes, expenses, debt and return on equity. The regulated nature of the majority of our assets provides a degree of support for our profitability over the long-term, where the majority of our customers own the products shipped on, or stored in, our facilities. We believe these characteristics provide CorEnergy with the attractive attributes of other globally listed infrastructure companies, including high barriers to entry and predictable revenue streams, while mitigating risks and volatility experienced by other companies engaged in the midstream energy sector. We also believe that our strengths in the hydrocarbon midstream industry can be leveraged to participate in energy transition, e.g., CO2 transportation for sequestration.

Prior to February 2021, we generated long-term contracted revenue from operators of our assets, primarily under triple-net participating leases without direct commodity price exposure.

For a description of our assets, see Part I, Item 2 of our 2021 Form 10-K Annual Report.

HOW WE GENERATE REVENUE

We earn revenue from transporting or storing crude oil and natural gas for our customers. Our revenue is generated based on a:

•Fixed-fee per unit of commodity transported during the period or

•Fixed fee for reserved capacity.

Crimson Pipeline

Crimson Pipeline is an approximately 2,000-mile crude oil transportation pipeline system, which includes approximately 1,100 active miles, with associated storage facilities located in southern California and the San Joaquin Valley. The pipeline network provides a critical link between California crude oil production and California refineries. Revenue is primarily generated based on a fixed-fee tariff paid on each barrel of crude oil transported on our pipeline system. Our tariffs are regulated by the CPUC under a cost-of-service methodology. While the majority of our Crimson pipeline volumes are not contractually obligated to be transported on our pipelines, our pipelines have provided transportation services to the same refineries for decades. Our pipeline system provides a safe, reliable, environmentally sustainable and economical method of transporting crude oil from the California crude oil producers to the California refineries. Furthermore, we are generally the only pipeline providing a connection between the producers and our customers, which are the refineries we serve.

MoGas and Omega Pipelines

MoGas pipeline ("MoGas") is a 263-mile interstate natural gas pipeline regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC"). Omega pipeline ("Omega") is a 75-mile natural gas distribution system providing unregulated service primarily to the U.S. Army’s Fort Leonard Wood military post. MoGas and Omega are part of a system that provides the critical link between natural gas producing regions and local customers in Missouri. MoGas sources natural gas from three major interstate pipelines, Panhandle Eastern pipeline ("EPL"), Rockies Express pipeline ("REX") and Mississippi River


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

Transmission pipeline ("MRT"). MoGas connects to these three pipelines around the St. Louis area and transports the natural gas to south-central Missouri where it connects to the Omega pipeline. MoGas supplies several local natural gas distribution networks along its path. The Omega pipeline system primarily serves as a local natural gas delivery system for Fort Leonard Wood.

MoGas generates the majority of its revenue from take-or-pay transportation contracts with investment-grade customers. The majority of MoGas' revenue is under a long-term contract with a remaining term of approximately 8 years. Omega’s revenues are unregulated and are generated under a firm capacity contract for which lease treatment has been applied. The remaining life of the contract is approximately 4 years. Given the nature of the MoGas and Omega contracts, the revenue generated by these assets is marginally dependent on the actual volume transported.

HOW WE EVALUATE OUR OPERATIONS

Our management uses a variety of financial and operating metrics to analyze our performance. These metrics, which are significant factors in assessing our operating results and profitability, include: (i) volumes; (ii) revenue (including pipeline loss allowance ("PLA")); (iii) total operating and maintenance expenses (including maintenance capital expenses); (iv) Adjusted Net Income; (v) Cash Available for Distribution ("CAD"); and (vi) Adjusted EBITDA.

Volumes and Revenue

Our revenue is primarily generated by transporting either crude oil or natural gas from a supply source to an end customer. Our assets have provided this service for the same customers for many decades.

Crimson Pipeline

The amount of revenue Crimson pipeline generates depends on the volume of crude oil transported through our pipelines multiplied by the fixed-fee tariff applicable for the specific movement. These volumes are dependent on crude oil production in California since our assets are not directly connected to crude oil import facilities. Our volumes can also be impacted by individual refinery decisions around their specific crude oil sourcing. The fixed-fee tariff, or transportation rate, is the other major determinate of our revenue. The majority of our tariffs are regulated by the CPUC under a cost-of-service methodology which provides long term support for our revenue.

In addition to the fixed-fee tariff, we also earn PLA for the majority of the volume we transport. As is common in the pipeline transportation industry, as crude oil is transported, Crimson receives between 0.1% and 0.25% of the majority of crude oil volume transported as PLA to offset any measurement uncertainty or actual volumes lost in transit. We receive either payment in kind or cash, at market value for the crude oil, with the majority of the payments being in kind. For in-kind payments, we record the revenue as Transportation and Distribution revenue at a net realizable market price for the crude oil and place those volumes into inventory. The inventory is subsequently sold, typically within 1 to 2 months, and recognized as PLA subsequent sales revenue with an offsetting expense of PLA subsequent sales cost of revenue.

MoGas and Omega Pipelines

The amount of revenue generated by MoGas and Omega relies on fixed-payment contracts with our customers. These contracts are reservation charges with little dependence on actual volumes transported.

Operations and Maintenance Expenses

Our pipelines have similar fixed and variable operating, maintenance, and regulatory requirements. Our major operations and maintenance expenses consist of:

• labor expenses;

• repairs and maintenance expenses;

• insurance costs (including liability and property coverage); and

• utility costs (including electricity and natural gas).

The majority of our costs remain stable across broad ranges of throughput volumes, but can vary depending upon the level of both planned and unplanned maintenance activity in particular reporting periods. Utility cost is the primary expense which fluctuates based on throughput volumes and also fluctuates based on commodity prices.

MoGas STL Interconnect

MoGas continues to monitor the regulatory activities relative to the Spire STL Pipeline. On June 22, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an order vacating the Spire STL Pipeline’s 2018 certificate, stating that the FERC found a market need for the pipeline despite only one shipper, an affiliate of Spire STL Pipeline, committing to use it; and remanding the proceeding back to the FERC. On April 18, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court let the lower court ruling stand. On December 3, 2021, FERC granted a temporary certificate authorizing use until the FERC acts. There have been filings with FERC from several impacted parties expressing concern over the adverse effect to the area should FERC fail to reissue the Spire STL Pipeline's certificate upon reconsideration following the court’s ruling. While there is no impairment at this time, if the STL Pipeline is taken out of service, CorEnergy's financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted by impairment of our interconnect assets, currently carried at approximately $3.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and annualized revenues would be reduced by approximately $4.0 million.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE COMPARABILITY OF OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS

The comparability of our current financial results, in relation to prior periods, are affected by the recent transactions described below. As a result, the usefulness of the year over year comparisons between the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and the quarter ended March 31, 2021 are limited. The financial results should be read in connection with the financial information in Form 8-K filed February 10, 2021, Form 8-K/A filed April 22, 2021, and Form 8-K/A filed September 3, 2021.

Disposal of Grand Isle Gathering System

Effective February 1, 2021, the Grand Isle Gathering System was provided as partial consideration for the purchase of the 49.50 percent voting interest in Crimson.

Crimson Transaction

Effective February 1, 2021, the Company acquired a 49.50 percent voting interest in Crimson as described elsewhere in this Report.

California Market Update

On October 4, 2021, a pipeline ruptured off the coast of California which caused the oil spill offshore near Huntington Beach, California. The pipeline is not owned by the CorEnergy and the Company does not own or operate any offshore platforms or pipelines.

The Company has historically received barrels transported by the affected pipeline, at an average of approximately 4,600 bpd over the four months prior to the incident, which generated average monthly revenue, including pipeline loss allowance, of approximately $98 thousand during that time. Currently, this production has been shut in and the timing of its return is uncertain. Regardless of the outcome, we do not expect this event to affect our common dividend outlook, which is subject to board approval.

On October 6, 2021, the Superior Court of California, County of Kern ordered Kern County to stop issuing new oil and gas drilling permits pending review of a new environmental impact report process.

On May 11, 2022, Phillips 66 confirmed plans to convert its 140,000 bpd San Francisco refinery in Rodeo, California to renewable transportation fuels in early 2024. On May 3, 2022 the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors approved the land use permits necessary for this project. As a result, the refinery will no longer process crude oil. Currently, the refinery sources a significant portion of their crude oil, via a dedicated Phillips 66 pipeline, from the San Joaquin Valley which is the same source of volumes for the Company's pipelines. Following the conversion, the crude oil being consumed from the San Joaquin Valley will need to be transported to another refinery, which could provide additional growth opportunities for volumes delivered to Crimson pipelines.

Internalization of the Manager

On July 6, 2021, following stockholder approval at the Company's 2021 Annual Meeting, we completed the Internalization transaction whereby we acquired our manager, Corridor InfraTrust Management, LLC. Pursuant to a Contribution Agreement, we issued to the Contributors, based on each Contributor's percentage ownership in Corridor, an aggregate of: (i) 1,153,846 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 683,761 shares of the newly created Class B Common Stock, and (iii) 170,213 depositary shares of the Company’s 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

As a result of the Internalization Transaction, we now (i) own all material assets of Corridor used in the conduct of the business, and (ii) are managed by officers and employees who previously worked for Corridor. Additional information on the Internalization Transaction can be found on our Current Report in Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 12, 2021.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements include CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc., as of March 31, 2022, and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. Effective February 1, 2021, CorEnergy's subsidiaries include a 49.50 percent voting interest in Crimson with John D. Grier and certain affiliated trusts of Grier (collectively with Grier, the "Grier Members") holding the remaining 50.50 percent voting interest. Crimson is a VIE as the legal entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights. CorEnergy was determined to be the entity "most closely associated" with the VIE. Therefore, CorEnergy is the primary beneficiary and will consolidate Crimson. The Grier Member's 50.62 percent equity ownership interest is reflected as a non-controlling interest in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table summarizes the financial data and key operating statistics for CorEnergy for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. We believe the Operating Results detail presented below provides investors with information that will assist them in analyzing our operating performance. The following data should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report. All information in Part I, Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," except for balance sheet data as of December 31, 2021, is unaudited.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

The financial impacts of the Crimson assets in the prior year only represent the period from February 1, 2021 to March 31, 2021.

Revenue. Transportation and distribution revenue increased $8.5 million primarily due to the benefit of a full quarter with Crimson in 2022, slightly offset by lower average daily volumes. Crimson was acquired February 4, 2021, with an effective date of the transaction on February 1, 2021. Pipeline loss allowance subsequent sales increased $1.6 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Pipeline loss allowance subsequent sales represents the revenue on sale of crude oil inventory, which is offset by the PLA subsequent sales cost of revenue of $2.2 million and $948 thousand, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Lease and other revenue was $379 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $670 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021, resulting in a decrease of approximately $291 thousand from the prior-year period. The decrease was a result of crude oil storage contracts that expired and were not renewed.

Transportation and Distribution Expense. Transportation and distribution expenses were $13.9 million and $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing an increase of $3.6 million. The increase is primarily due to the inclusion of the full three months in 2022, as compared to 2021. Crimson was acquired February 4, 2021, with an effective date of the acquisition on February 1, 2021.


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The most significant components of the variance from the prior-year period are outlined in the following table and explained below:


	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2022		March 31, 2021
Management fees and employee-related costs	$	2,583,353	$	2,847,825
Acquisition and professional fees	1,653,045		6,456,917
Other expenses	906,467		532,051
Total	$	5,142,865	$	9,836,793

Management fees and employee-related costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased $264 thousand compared to the prior-year period. Management fees ended with the closing of the Internalization transaction on July 6, 2021. In the prior year management fees consisted of $321 thousand for the month of January 2021, paid under the terms of the pre-existing Management Agreement before the First Amendment, a $1.0 million transaction bonus outlined in the Contribution Agreement related to the Internalization, the addition of $917 thousand in Crimson employee-related costs from the Crimson acquisition and the addition of $608 thousand in Corridor employee compensation and office related expense reimbursements under the First Amendment to the Management Agreement from February 1, 2021 to March 31, 2021 in connection with the Internalization.

After the closing of the Internalization on July 6, 2021, the Company assumed employee related costs previously paid by Corridor from the Company's Management fees, which totaled $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Acquisition and professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased $4.8 million from the prior-year period, primarily as a result of (i) a $4.6 million decrease in asset acquisition expenses due to the prior year closing and due diligence costs associated with the Crimson acquisition and (ii) a $235 thousand decrease in transaction costs incurred at Crimson for accounting and legal services.

Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $374 thousand from the prior-year period. The increase in other expenses is due to the inclusion of some former management fee expenses such as office rent, utilities, travel and the inclusion of Crimson for the full three months in 2022.

Depreciation, Amortization and ARO Accretion Expense. Depreciation, amortization and ARO accretion expense was $4.0 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This increase was primarily related to depreciation expense, which increased approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in depreciation expense was driven by the inclusion of a full quarter of Crimson depreciation expense in 2022.

Loss on Impairment and Terminated Lease. In the prior year, in connection with the Crimson Transaction, we contributed the GIGS asset as partial consideration to acquire our 49.50 percent voting interest in Crimson. The net book value of the GIGS asset was $63.5 million and the carrying value of the asset retirement obligation was $8.8 million or a net carrying value of $54.7 million for the GIGS Disposal Group. The GIGS asset had a fair value of $48.9 million upon closing of the Crimson Transaction resulting in a loss on impairment and disposal of leased property of approximately $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 5 ("Leased Properties And Leases") for further details. Additionally, the Company recorded a write-off of the remaining deferred lease costs of $166 thousand associated with the termination of the lease.

Other Income (Expense). Other income was $121 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to ($798) thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, in connection with the Crimson acquisition, the Company terminated the CorEnergy Credit Facility with Regions Bank and eliminated the associated deferred debt issuance costs of $862 thousand. For additional information, see Part I, Item 1, Note 13 ("Debt"). There was no loss on extinguishment of debt recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $3.1 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest expense increased due to one additional month of interest incurred on the Crimson revolver.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). Income tax expense was $223 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to an income tax expense of $1 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The income tax expense in the current year period is primarily the result of income from the Company's sale of PLA and taxable income associated with Omega. The income tax expense in the prior year period is primarily the result of an increase in income tax expense related to


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

the sale of PLA inventory at Crimson, partially offset by the generation of net operating loss carryforwards and certain fixed asset activities at the TRS entities.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We use certain financial measures that are not recognized under GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this Report include Adjusted Net Income, CAD, and Adjusted EBITDA. These supplemental measures are used by our management team and are presented because we believe they help investors understand our business, performance and ability to earn and distribute cash to our stockholders, provide for debt repayments, provide for future capital expenditures and provide for repurchases or redemptions of any series of our preferred stock by providing perspectives not immediately apparent from GAAP measures.

We offer these measures to assist the users of our financial statements in assessing our operating performance under U.S. GAAP, but these measures are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered measures of liquidity, alternatives to net income (loss) or indicators of any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures as calculated by other companies. Investors should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income (loss), cash flows from operating activities or revenues. Management compensates for the limitations of Adjusted Net Income, CAD, and Adjusted EBITDA as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between non-GAAP measures compared to (as applicable) operating income (loss), net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, and incorporating this knowledge into its decision-making processes. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management considers in evaluating our operating results.

Adjusted Net Income and Cash Available for Distribution

We believe Adjusted Net Income is an important performance measure of our profitability as compared to other midstream infrastructure owners and operators. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Income represents net income (loss) adjusted for loss on impairment and disposal of leased property; loss on termination of lease: loss on extinguishment of debt and transaction-related costs. Adjusted Net Income presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently.

Management considers CAD an important metric for assessing capital discipline, cost efficiency and balance sheet strength. Although CAD is the metric used to assess our ability to make dividends to stockholders and distributions to non-controlling interest holders, this measure should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount of cash that is available for distributions or planned for distributions for a given period. Instead, CAD should be considered indicative of the amount of cash that is available for distributions after mandatory debt repayments and other general corporate purposes. Our presentation of CAD represents Adjusted Net Income adjusted for depreciation, amortization and ARO accretion (cash flows) and deferred tax expense (benefit) less transaction-related costs; maintenance capital expenditures; preferred dividend requirements and mandatory debt amortization.

Adjusted Net Income and CAD should not be considered a measure of liquidity and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows from operations or other indicators of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of Net Income (Loss), as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, to Adjusted Net Income and CAD:

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides information useful to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations and that Adjusted EBITDA is a widely accepted financial indicator of a company's ability to incur and service debt, fund capital expenditures, and make dividends and distributions. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental financial measure that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, and commercial banks use, among other measures, to assess the following:

•our operating performance as compared to other midstream infrastructure owners and operators, without regard to financing methods, capital structure, or historical cost basis;

•the ability of our assets to generate cash flow to make distributions; and

•the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditures and the returns on investment of various investment opportunities.

Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) adjusted for items such as loss on impairment and disposal of leased property; loss on termination of lease; loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt; and transaction-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA is further adjusted for depreciation, amortization and ARO accretion expense; income tax expense (benefit) and interest expense. Adjusted EBITDA presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation, since each company may define these terms differently. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered a measure of liquidity and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss) or other indicators of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of Net Income (loss), as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, to Adjusted EBITDA:

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES APPLICABLE TO REITS

We also present earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("EBITDAre") and NAREIT funds from operations ("NAREIT FFO"). The presentation of EBITDAre and NAREIT FFO are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including capital expenditures, to make payments on our indebtedness or to make distributions.

EBITDAre

EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors and lenders may use to evaluate our ongoing operating results, including (i) the performance of our assets without regard to the impact of financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis of our assets and (ii) the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities. EBITDAre, as established by NAREIT, is defined as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change of control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity's pro rata share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates.

We believe that the presentation of EBITDAre provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. Our presentation of EBITDAre is calculated in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies that do not use the NAREIT definition of EBITDAre. In addition, although EBITDAre is a useful measure when comparing our results to other REITs, it may not be helpful to investors when comparing to non-REITs. EBITDAre should not be considered a measure of liquidity and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (loss), net income (loss) or other indicators of performance determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, to EBITDAre:


	For the Three Months Ended

NAREIT FFO

FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. As defined by NAREIT, NAREIT FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses of depreciable properties, real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs or loan origination costs) and other adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and non-controlling interests. Adjustments for non-controlling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO attributable to common stockholders as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock. Our method of calculating FFO attributable to common stockholders may differ from methods used by other REITs and, as such, may not be comparable.

We present NAREIT FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is a key measure we use in assessing performance and in making resource allocation decisions.

NAREIT FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions, and that may also be the case with certain of the energy infrastructure assets in which we invest.


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

NAREIT FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate and gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items. As such, these performance measures provide a perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss) when compared to prior-year periods. These metrics reflect the impact to operations from trends in company revenues, operating costs, development activities, and interest costs.

We calculate NAREIT FFO in accordance with standards established over time by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, as restated and approved in a December 2018 White Paper. NAREIT FFO does not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital for replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. NAREIT FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our liquidity, or as an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions or to service our indebtedness.

For completeness, the following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net income (loss) attributable to CorEnergy stockholders as determined in accordance with GAAP and our calculations of NAREIT FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the three months ended March 31, 2021. Also presented is information regarding the weighted-average number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding used for the computation of per share data:

Refer to the Convertible Note Interest Expense table in Part I, Item 1, Note 13 ("Debt") for additional details.

DIVIDENDS

Our portfolio of energy infrastructure real property assets generates revenue from which we pay distributions to stockholders. We pay dividends based on what we believe is the median to long-term cash generating ability of our assets adjusted for special items. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the primary sources of our stockholder distributions included transportation and distribution revenue from Crimson, MoGas and Omega.

Quarterly, we plan on distributing our CAD less appropriate reserves established at the discretion of our Board of Directors which could include, but are not limited to:

•providing for the proper conduct of our business including reserves for future capital expenditures;

•providing for additional debt repayment beyond mandatory amortization;


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

•providing for repurchases or redemptions of any series of our preferred stock or securities convertible into preferred stock;

•compliance with applicable law or any loan agreement, security agreement, debt instrument or other agreement or obligation; or

•providing additional reserves as determined appropriate by the Board.

The Grier Members hold an economic interest in Crimson via the issuance, at the closing of the Crimson Transaction, of Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Units. Upon CPUC approval the Grier Members have the right to convert their A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units into unregistered securities of the Company.

As of March 31, 2022, each of these securities are convertible as follows: Class A-1 Units into depositary shares representing the Company's 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, the Class A-2 and A-3 Units into the Company's Class B Common Stock. However, prior to conversion, the A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units pay distributions as if they were the corresponding Company securities. For a description of the dividend rights, redemption rights, voting rights, and exchange and conversion rights of the Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class A-3 Units please refer to Part IV, Item 15, Note 16 ("Stockholders' Equity") included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Class B Common Stock

The Class B Common Stock Articles Supplementary establish the terms of the Class B Common Stock, which are substantially similar to the Company’s Common Stock, including voting rights, except that the Class B Common Stock will be subordinated to the Common Stock with respect to dividends and liquidation and will automatically convert into Common Stock under certain circumstances. The Company does not intend to list the Class B Common Stock on any exchange.

Voting Rights. Class B Common Stock will vote together with the holders of Common Stock, voting as a single class, with respect to all matters on which holders of the Common Stock are entitled to vote. The Company may not authorize or issue any additional shares of Class B Common Stock beyond the number authorized in the Class B Common Stock Articles Supplementary without the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock. Any amendment to the Company’s charter that would alter the rights of the Class B Common Stock must be approved by the affirmative vote of the majority of the outstanding Class B Common Stock.

Dividends. Subject to preferences that may apply to any shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, holders of the Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends to the extent authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and declared by the Company pursuant to a formula based on the amount of dividends declared on the Company’s Common Stock. For each fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 through and including the fiscal quarter ending March 30, 2024, each share of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends (the "Class B Common Stock Dividends"), subject to Board approval, equal to the quotient of (i) difference of (A) CAFD of the most recently completed quarter and (B) 1.25 multiplied by the Common Stock Base Dividend, divided by (ii) shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding multiplied by 1.25. In no event will the Class B Common Stock Dividend per share be greater than any dividends per share authorized by the Board of Directors and declared with respect to the Common Stock during the same quarter and no Class B Common Stock Dividend will accrue until after April 1, 2021. As is the case for Common Stock, Class B Common Stock Dividends will not be cumulative.

For the fiscal quarters of the Company ending June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021, December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, the Common Stock Base Dividend Per Share shall equal $0.05 per share per quarter. For the fiscal quarters of the Company ending June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022, December 31, 2022 and March 30, 2023, the Common Stock Base Dividend Per Share shall equal $0.055 per share per quarter. For fiscal quarters of the Company ending June 30, 2023, September 30, 2023, December 31, 2023 and March 30, 2024, the Common Stock Base Dividend Per Share shall equal $0.06 per share per quarter. The Class B Common Stock dividend is subordinated based on a distribution formula.


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

Conversion. The shares of Class B Common Stock will convert to Common Stock on a one-for-one basis upon the first to occur of the following:

•the Board of Directors authorizes and the Company declares a quarterly dividend per share of outstanding Common Stock in excess of the then-applicable Common Base Dividend;

•the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock other than in connection with: (i) any director or management compensation plan or equity award, (ii) the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan, (iii) any conversion rights of the Company’s existing 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 or Series A Preferred, (iv) any exchange for fair value for the issuance of Common Stock (as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors), or (v) any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction in which the shares of Class B Common Stock share equally; or

•the Board of Directors authorizes and the Company declares a quarterly dividend per share to the Class B Common Stock equal to the then-applicable Common Base Dividend for any four consecutive fiscal quarters beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022 through the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2024.

To the extent no conversion occurs as described above, then the Class B Common Stock will convert to Common Stock on February 4, 2024 at a ratio equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) (A) the quotient of the then-applicable last twelve months CAFD divided by the product of (x) 1.25 and (y) four (4) times the then-applicable Common Base Dividend per share, less (B) the number of then-outstanding shares of Common Stock by (ii) the number of then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock; provided, however, that the ratio shall not be less than 0.6800 shares of Common Stock per share of Class B Common Stock or greater than 1.000 shares of Common Stock per share of Class B Common Stock.

Dividend Declarations

On February 7, 2022, we declared dividends of $0.05 per share of Common Stock and $0.4609375 per depositary share for our 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock, which were paid on February 28, 2022.

Class A-1 Units Distribution

On February 4, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the declaration of dividends of $0.4609375 per depositary share for its 7.375% Series A Preferred Stock payable in cash. Pursuant to the terms of Crimson's Third LLC Agreement, this determination by the Company's Board of Directors entitled the holders of Crimson's Class A-1 Units to receive, from Crimson, a cash distribution of $0.4609375 per unit.

Class A-2 and Class A-3 Units Distribution

On February 4, 2022, the Board decided not to declare a dividend on Class B Common Stock. Pursuant to the terms of Crimson's Third LLC Agreement, this determination by the Company's Board of Directors which resulted in no distribution to the holders of Crimson's Class A-2 Units or Class A-3 Units.

The Company currently expects to characterize at least some portion of its 2022 Common Stock and Preferred Stock dividends as Return of Capital for tax purposes.

SEASONALITY

MoGas and Omega generally have stable revenues throughout the year and will complete necessary pipeline maintenance during the "non-heating" season, or quarters two and three. Therefore, operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

We expect Crimson will have stable revenues throughout the year. Maintenance activities can be performed at any time during the year and are planned to avoid large quarterly fluctuations. Our San Pablo Bay pipeline has a seasonal minimum volume required to be operated as a batched system delivering heavy crude oil to its customers. The minimum volume is required as heavy crude oil must be heated to be transported via the pipeline. The lowest allowed minimum volume typically occurs in the months from July to September. The highest allowed minimum volume typically occurs from December to March. The actual effective periods are dependent on the ground temperature. The historical average quarterly crude oil volumes for Crimson are provided in the table below.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

At March 31, 2022, we had liquidity of approximately $37.3 million comprised of cash of $13.3 million plus revolver availability of $24.0 million. We use cash flows generated from our operations to fund current obligations, projected working capital requirements, debt service payments and dividend payments. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our ongoing working capital, operational expenditure requirements and to make quarterly cash distributions at current levels for the next 12 months.

Capital Expenditures

Crimson's operations can be capital intensive, requiring investments to maintain, expand, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. Crimson's capital requirements consist of maintenance capital expenditures and growth capital expenditures. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures are those made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets, to maintain the existing operating capacity of Crimson's assets and to extend their useful lives, or other capital expenditures that are incurred in maintaining existing system volumes and related cash flows. In contrast, growth capital expenditures are those made to acquire additional assets to grow Crimson's business, to expand and upgrade Crimson's systems and facilities and to construct or acquire new systems or facilities. Crimson may incur substantial amounts of capital expenditures in certain periods in connection with large maintenance projects that are intended to only maintain its assets. Maintenance capital expenditures were $1.4 million in both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. Crimson expects to incur maintenance capital expenditures in a range of $8.0 million to $9.0 million in 2022.

We have experienced significant increases in the cost of energy, transportation, and distribution. These inflationary trends have and may continue to have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

Capital Requirements

Capital spending for our business consists primarily of:

•Maintenance capital expenditures. These expenditures include costs required to maintain equipment reliability and safety and to address environmental and other regulatory requirements rather than to generate incremental CAD; and

•Expansion capital expenditures. These expenditures are undertaken primarily to generate incremental CAD and include costs to acquire additional assets to grow our business and to expand or upgrade our existing facilities and to construct new assets, which we refer to collectively as organic growth projects. Organic growth projects include, for example, capital expenditures that increase storage or throughput volumes or develop pipeline connections to new supply sources.


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our maintenance capital spending was $1.4 million and we spent $209 thousand for our expansion capital projects.

Crimson Credit Facility

On February 4, 2021, in connection with the Crimson Transaction, Crimson Midstream Operating and Corridor MoGas, (collectively, the "Borrowers"), together with Crimson, MoGas Debt Holdco LLC, MoGas, CorEnergy Pipeline Company, LLC, United Property Systems, Crimson Pipeline, LLC and Cardinal Pipeline, L.P. (collectively, the "Guarantors") entered into the Crimson Credit Facility with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent for such lenders, Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank. The Crimson Credit Facility provides borrowing capacity of up to $155.0 million, consisting of: a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Crimson Revolver"), an $80.0 million term loan (the "Crimson Term Loan") and an uncommitted incremental facility of $25.0 million. Upon closing of the Crimson Transaction, the Borrowers drew the $80.0 million Crimson Term Loan and $25.0 million on the Crimson Revolver. Subsequent to the initial closing, on March 25, 2021, Crimson contributed all of its equity interests in Crimson Midstream Services, LLC and Crimson Midstream I Corporation to Crimson Midstream Operating, and, effective as of May 4, 2021, such subsidiaries have become additional Guarantors pursuant to the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement and parties to the Amended and Restated Security Agreement and (in the case of Crimson Midstream I Corporation) the Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement.

The loans under the Crimson Credit Facility mature on February 4, 2024. The Crimson Term Loan requires quarterly payments of $2.0 million in arrears on the last business day of March, June, September and December, commencing on June 30, 2021. Subject to certain conditions, all loans made under the Credit Agreement shall, at the option of the Borrowers, bear interest at either (a) LIBOR plus a spread of 325 to 450 basis points, or (b) a rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate established by the Administrative Agent, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus a spread of 225 to 350 basis points. The applicable spread for each interest rate is based on the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Crimson Credit Facility).

Outstanding balances under the facility are guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant to the Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement and secured by all assets of the Borrowers and Guarantors (including the equity in such parties), other than any assets regulated by the CPUC and other customary excluded assets, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Pledge Agreement and an Amended and Restated Security Agreement. Under the terms of the Crimson Credit Facility, we are subject to certain financial covenants for the Borrowers and their restricted subsidiaries as follows (i): the total leverage ratio shall not be greater than: (a) 3.00 to 1.00 commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 through and including the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2021; (b) 2.75 to 1.00 commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2022 through and including the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2022; and (c) 2.50 to 1.00 commencing with the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2023 and for each fiscal quarter thereafter and (ii) the debt service coverage ratio, shall not be less than 2.00 to 1.00.

Cash distributions to us from the Borrowers are subject to certain restrictions, including without limitation, no default or event of default, compliance with financial covenants, minimum undrawn availability and available free cash flow. The Borrowers and their restricted subsidiaries are also subject to certain additional affirmative and negative covenants customary for credit transactions of this type. The Crimson Credit Facility contains default and cross-default provisions (with applicable customary grace or cure periods) customary for transactions of this type. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, payment of all amounts outstanding under the Crimson Credit Facility may become immediately due and payable at the election of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Crimson Credit Facility).

We also had approximately $24.0 million of available borrowing capacity on the Crimson Revolver at March 31, 2022. For a summary of the additional material terms of the Crimson Credit Facility, please refer to Part IV, Item 15, Note 14 ("Debt") included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and Part I, Item 1, Note 13 ("Debt") included in this Report.

5.875% Convertible Notes

On August 12, 2019, we completed a private placement offering of $120.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025 to the initial purchasers of such notes for cash in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The initial purchasers then resold the 5.875% Convertible Notes for cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof to qualified institutional buyers, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A. The 5.875% Convertible Notes mature on August 15, 2025 and bear interest at a rate of 5.875 percent per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2020.

Holders may convert all or any portion of their 5.875% Convertible Notes into shares of our Common Stock at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The initial conversion rate for the 5.875% Convertible Notes is 20.0 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 5.875% Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of $50.00 per share of our Common Stock. Such conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events as specified in the Indenture.

Refer to Part IV, Item 15, Note 14 ("Debt") included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and Part I, Item 1, Note 13 ("Debt") included in this Report for additional information concerning the 5.875% Convertible Notes.

Shelf Registration Statements

On October 30, 2018, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC, pursuant to which we registered 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance under our dividend reinvestment plan. As of March 31, 2022, we have issued 173,866 shares of Common Stock under our dividend reinvestment plan ("DRIP") pursuant to the shelf resulting in remaining availability of approximately 826,134 shares of Common Stock.

On September 16, 2021, we had a resale shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC, pursuant to which it registered the following securities that were issued in connection with the Internalization for resale by the Contributors: 1,837,607 shares of Common Stock (including both (i) 1,153,846 shares of Common Stock issued at the closing of the Internalization and (ii) up to 683,761 additional shares of Common Stock which may be acquired by the Contributors upon the conversion of outstanding shares of our unlisted Class B Common Stock issued at the closing of the Internalization) and 170,213 depositary shares each representing 1/100th fractional interest of a share of 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share issued at the closing of the Internalization.

On November 3, 2021, we filed a new shelf registration statement to replace our prior shelf registration statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on November 17, 2021 and permits us to publically offer additional debt or equity securities with an aggregate offering price of up to $600.0 million. As of March 31, 2022, we have not issued any securities under this new shelf registration statement, so total availability remains at $600.0 million.

Liquidity and Capitalization

Our principal investing activities are acquiring and financing assets within the U.S. energy infrastructure sector. These investing activities have often been financed from the proceeds of our public equity and debt offerings as well as our credit facilities mentioned above. We have also expanded our business development efforts to include other REIT qualifying revenue sources. Continued growth of our asset portfolio will depend in part on our continued ability to access funds through additional borrowings and securities offerings. Additionally, our liquidity and capitalization may be impacted by the optional redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock. The depositary shares are currently eligible to be redeemed, at our option, in whole or in part, at the $25.00 liquidation preference plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption.

The above table does not give effect to the conversion of the non-controlling interest into our securities, which are subject to CPUC approval and will be elective by the holder(s) of the non-controlling interest. It is our intent to treat distributions with respect to the non-controlling interest, representing the A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units at Crimson, with the same relative priority and amount as our underlying securities that they may be converted into. Below is a prospective forward-looking capitalization table that adjusts for conversion of the non-controlling interest into our securities that they are expected to ultimately convert into at the election of the holder(s).

(1) The non-controlling interest reflects the Grier Members' equity consideration for the A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units representing a 50.62% equity ownership interest in Crimson. Subject to CPUC regulatory approval, these units are convertible into certain CorEnergy securities, at the option of the holder, as illustrated in the prospective adjustments above.
(2) The prospective adjustments reflect the Grier Members' exchange of the non-controlling interest presently represented by their A-1, A-2 and A-3 Units into depositary shares representing Series A Preferred Stock for the A-1 Units and Class B Common Stock both A-2 and A-3 Units. On June 29, 2021, shareholders approved the conversion of the Series B Preferred into Class B Common Stock. Such exchanges are subject to receiving CPUC approval. Further, we do not expect the holders to exercise their exchange rights all at once due to the income tax consequences arising from such exchanges. We cannot predict when the holders will elect to exchange or if they will elect to exchange at all. Refer to Part I, Item 1, Note 14 ("Stockholders' Equity") for further details on the non-controlling interest.
(3) Long-term debt is presented net of discount and deferred financing costs.
(4) In the quarterly 2021 filings, the noncontrolling interest was revalued at then current market values for the prospective column. However, in this filing the value of the noncontrolling interest was held constant at the current book value.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The financial statements included in this Report are based on the selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, complex, or subjective judgments. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, recognition of income, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Table of Contents						Glossary of Defined Terms

A discussion of our critical accounting estimates is presented under the heading "Critical Accounting Estimates" in Part II, Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as previously filed with the SEC. No material modifications have been made to our critical accounting estimates.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our business activities contain elements of market risk. Long-term debt used to finance our acquisitions may be based on floating or fixed rates. As of March 31, 2022, we had long-term debt (net of current maturities) with a carrying value of $186.7 million, all of which represents fixed-rate debt under the Crimson Credit Facility and the 5.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2025. Borrowings under our Crimson Revolver are variable-rate, based on a LIBOR pricing spread and subject to interest rate re-sets that generally range from one day to approximately one month. As of March 31, 2022, we had $26.0 million in borrowings under our Crimson Revolver.

Borrowings under the Crimson Credit Facility are variable-rate based on either (a) LIBOR pricing spread or (b) a rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or (iii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.0%, plus a pricing spread. As of March 31, 2022, the interest rate for the Crimson Credit Facility was set at LIBOR plus the top level of the spread of 400 basis points resulting in an interest rate of 4.21%. The applicable spread for each interest rate is redetermined quarterly based on the Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Crimson Credit Facility). Changes in interest rates can cause interest charges to fluctuate on our variable rate debt. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in current LIBOR rates would have resulted in an initial interest rate of 5.21% or 3.21%, respectively, for the Crimson Credit Facility. Under the Crimson Credit Facility, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the current LIBOR rate would have resulted in an approximately $249 thousand increase or decrease in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Further, as a result of the Crimson Transaction, we will be exposed to limited market risk associated with fluctuating commodity prices. With the exception of buy/sell arrangements on some of Crimson's pipelines and the PLA oil retained, Crimson does not take ownership of the crude oil that it transports or stores for its customers, and it does not engage in the trading of any commodities. We therefore have limited direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices.

Certain of Crimson's transportation agreements and tariffs for crude oil shipments also include a PLA. As is common in the pipeline transportation industry, Crimson earns a very small percentage of the crude oil transported, deemed earned PLA oil inventory, which it can then sell. The realized PLA volume earned and available for sale is net of differences in measurement and actual volumes gained or lost. This allowance oil revenue is subject to more volatility than transportation revenue, as it is directly dependent on Crimson's measurement capability and commodity prices. As a result, the income Crimson realizes under its loss allowance provisions will increase or decrease as a result of changes in the mix of product transported, measurement accuracy and underlying commodity prices. As of March 31, 2022, Crimson did not have any open hedging agreements to mitigate its exposure to decreases in commodity prices through its loss allowances; however, it has previously entered into such agreements and may do so in the future.

We consider the management of risk essential to conducting our businesses. Accordingly, our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive and principal financial officers, respectively), we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, these officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act, that occurred during the quarterly period ending March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, sets forth information relating to important risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or operating results. Those risk factors continue to be relevant to an understanding of our business, financial condition, and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to the risk factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Dividends

A REIT is generally required to distribute during the taxable year an amount equal to at least 90 percent of the REIT taxable income (determined under Internal Revenue Code section 857(b)(2), without regard to the deduction for dividends paid). We intend to adhere to this requirement in order to maintain our REIT status. The Board of Directors will continue to determine the amount of any distribution that we expect to pay our stockholders. Dividend payouts may be affected by cash flow requirements, including cash used to make distributions to outstanding Class A-1, Class A-2, and Class A-3 Units of Crimson, and remain subject to other risks and uncertainties, as discussed under the heading "Dividends" in Part I, Item 2 of this Report. Further, the terms of our Crimson Credit Facility provide that cash distributions to us from the Borrowers are subject to certain restrictions, including without limitation, no default or event of default, compliance with financial covenants, minimum undrawn availability and available free cash flow.

We did not sell any securities during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
