CORENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE TRUST, INC.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Background
Presented below are CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc.’s (“CorEnergy,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Company”) unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 and the pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (together with the notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements the “pro forma financial statements”), which have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.
On May 24, 2023, CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. (“Seller”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Spire Midstream Services, LLC (“Purchaser"). Upon the terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Seller agreed to sell the MoGas pipeline, Omega pipeline, and related businesses to the Purchaser for a cash purchase price of $177.6 million (“Transaction”), which includes certain closing adjustments. The Transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is referred to herein as the (“Divestiture”). The Company plans to use $108.4 million of the net proceeds to repay and retire the Crimson Credit Facility, which is required per terms of the Crimson Credit Facility agreement.
The Divestiture is considered a disposition of a significant business under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X. As a result, the Company prepared the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements included herein and based on historical financial information of the Company. The Divestiture does not meet the criteria requiring discontinued operations presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) because it does not represent a strategic shift that will have major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Divestiture as if it had occurred on September 30, 2023, the end of the most recent period for which a balance sheet is required. The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for year ended December 31, 2022 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023 gives effect to the Divestiture as if it had occurred on January 1, 2022.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements include pro forma adjustments that are directly attributable to the Divestiture and are factually supportable. Pro forma adjustments are presented for informational purposes only and are described in the accompanying notes based on information and assumptions currently available at the time of the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K to which the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are included as an exhibit (the “8-K”), which are subject to change. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s results of operations or financial condition would have been had the Divestiture been completed on the dates indicated above. In addition, it is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations or financial condition and does not reflect all actions that have been or may be taken by the Company following the Divestiture, including the Company’s pending application for rate relief in California. There can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome of these pending tariff rate cases.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 10-K”) and with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form-10Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements as adjusted to give effect to the transaction accounting adjustments in accordance with GAAP to reflect the Divestiture.
The Divestiture does not meet the criteria requiring discontinued operations presentation in accordance with U.S. GAAP because it does not represent a strategic shift that will have major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results. The Divestiture is considered a disposition of a significant business and as a result, the Company prepared the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements included herein, which were prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X and are based on historical financial statements of the Company. The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Divestiture. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted from this report, as is permitted by such rules and regulations.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements include pro forma adjustments that are directly attributable to the Divestiture and are factually supportable. Pro forma adjustments are presented for informational purposes only and are described in the accompanying notes based on information and assumptions currently available at the time of the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K with which unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are included as an exhibit, which are subject to change. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the Company’s results of operations or financial condition would have been had the Divestiture been completed on the dates indicated below. In addition, it is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations or financial condition and does not reflect all actions that have been or may be taken by the Company following the Divestiture.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the 2022 10-K and the 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2023 gives effect to the Divestiture as if it had occurred on September 30, 2023. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for year ended December 31, 2022 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 gives effect to the Divestiture as if it had occurred on January 1, 2022.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We use certain financial measures in this Report that are not recognized under GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used in this Report include Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”), and Adjusted EBITDA. These supplemental measures are used by our management team and are presented herein 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 our preferred stock. The following non-GAAP financial measures for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 gives effect to the Divestiture as if it had occurred on January 1, 2022.
We offer these measures to assist the users of our financial statements in assessing our operating performance under 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), and cash flows from operating activities or revenues. Management compensates for the limitations of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), 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, 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 Loss and Cash Available for Distribution (“CAD”)
We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is an important performance measure of our profitability as compared to other midstream infrastructure owners and operators. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) for the current year periods represents net loss adjusted for gain on sale of equipment, transaction-related costs and restructuring costs. During the comparable periods of the prior year, our presentation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) included adjustments for gain on sale of equipment, transaction-related costs, restructuring costs, and loss on impairment of goodwill. Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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 distributions, this measure should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount of cash available for distributions or planned for distributions for a given period. Instead, CAD should be considered indicative of the amount of cash available for distributions after mandatory debt repayments and other general corporate purposes. Our presentation of CAD represents Adjusted Net Income (Loss) adjusted for depreciation and amortization, amortization of debt issuance costs, stock-based compensation, and deferred tax expense (benefit) less transaction-related costs, restructuring costs, maintenance capital expenditures, preferred dividend requirements and mandatory debt amortization.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and CAD should not be considered measures of liquidity and should not be considered alternatives to operating income, net income (loss), cash flows from operations or other indicators of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. The following tables present a reconciliation of Net Income (Loss), as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, to Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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, along with other measures, can be used by management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, and commercial banks, 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 for the current-year periods represents net loss adjusted for items such as gain on the sale of equipment, transaction costs, restructuring costs, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, income tax 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 as a measure of liquidity and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or other indicators of performance determined in accordance with GAAP. The following tables present a reconciliation of Net Loss, as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, to Adjusted EBITDA:
