Kinetik Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results and Updates Full Year 2025 Guidance
HOUSTON & MIDLAND, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kinetik Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KNTK) (' Kinetik ' or the ' Company ') today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Second Quarter 2025 Results and Commentary For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, Kinetik reported net income including noncontrolling interest of $74.4 million and $93.7 million, respectively. Kinetik generated Adjusted EBITDA 1 of $242.9 million and $493.0 million, Distributable Cash Flow 1 of $153.3 million and $310.3 million, and Free Cash Flow 1 of $7.9 million and $128.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, Kinetik processed natural gas volumes of 1.75 Bcf/d. 'Kinetik navigated both successes and challenges in the second quarter of 2025,' said Jamie Welch, Kinetik's President & Chief Executive Officer. 'First and foremost, I am incredibly proud of our team's focus on operational execution and meeting our customers' needs during a period marked with macroeconomic uncertainty and market volatility. For the quarter, we reported Adjusted EBITDA 1 of $243 million with processed gas volumes growing 11% year-over-year. That growth was partially offset by lower commodity pricing and higher operating costs.' 'Kinetik's earnings trajectory remains weighted to the second half of 2025 with the full in-service of Kings Landing. The associated return of curtailed production and customer development activity at Delaware North will result in material processed gas volume growth throughout the fourth quarter of this year and into 2026.' Welch continued, 'With the expected in-service timing for Kings Landing, some delays in producer development activity to early 2026, as well as commodity price headwinds and associated operating cost increases, particularly relating to rental equipment and electricity, we are updating our full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA 1 Guidance range to $1.03 billion to $1.09 billion.' 'Capital Expenditures 3 were $126 million in the second quarter as we started commissioning Kings Landing. We now anticipate Capital Expenditures 3 to be more weighted to the third quarter of 2025 driven by timing of Kings Landing completion. We are narrowing full year Capital Guidance to $460 million to $530 million, including growth and maintenance Capital Expenditures 3 and any contingent consideration tied to the final cost of Kings Landing.' 'Looking ahead, Management remains confident in Kinetik's value proposition as we continue to see numerous commercial opportunities with both new and existing customers that are highly synergistic to our existing footprint and accretive to our business in 2026 and beyond.'

Kinetik Reports Fourth Quarter and Record Full Year 2024 Financial and Operating Results and Provides 2025 Guidance
Generated fourth quarter 2024 net income of $16.2 million and Adjusted EBITDA1 of $237.5 million Reported full year 2024 net income of $244.2 million, Adjusted EBITDA1 of $971.1 million, and Capital Expenditures2 of $264.5 million Announced bolt-on acquisition of natural gas and crude oil gathering systems primarily located in Reeves County, Texas, which closed in January 2025 ("Barilla Draw") Issuing full year 2025 Guidance ("2025 Guidance"): Adjusted EBITDA1 guidance of $1.09 billion to $1.15 billion Capital guidance of $450 million to $540 million, including growth and maintenance Capital Expenditures2 and the previously communicated $75 million of contingent consideration tied to the final cost of the Kings Landing Complex ("Kings Landing") HOUSTON & MIDLAND, Texas, February 26, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kinetik Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KNTK) ("Kinetik" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2024. 2024 Results and Commentary For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, Kinetik reported net income including non-controlling interest of $16.2 million and $244.2 million, respectively. Kinetik generated Adjusted EBITDA1 of $237.5 million and $971.1 million, Distributable Cash Flow1 of $155.4 million and $657.0 million, and Free Cash Flow1 of $32.5 million and $410.1 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, Kinetik processed natural gas volumes of 1.74 Bcf/d and 1.64 Bcf/d, respectively. "2024 was another transformational year for Kinetik," said Jamie Welch, President & Chief Executive Officer. "We substantially expanded our footprint and capabilities across the Delaware Basin and enhanced our growth profile through highly strategic and accretive transactions and commercial agreements. This included our acquisition of Durango Permian, LLC ("Durango Permian"), a 15-year gas gathering and processing agreement in Eddy County, and the strategic connector pipeline ("ECCC pipeline") between Kinetik's Delaware North and Delaware South positions which all support significant future growth in New Mexico. We also acquired the compelling bolt-on Barilla Draw assets from Permian Resources and increased our equity interest in EPIC Crude Holdings, LP ("EPIC Crude") to 27.5% ownership in a series of transactions that would support its continued growth and strengthen its financial profile." "We achieved significant milestones across our finance-related objectives. Apache exited its remaining ownership stake in the Company, nearly doubling Kinetik's public float. And, we divested our 16% stake in the Gulf Coast Express pipeline to primarily fund the previously announced $1 billion of transactions that furthered our expansion into New Mexico. Upon closing, we reduced Leverage1,3 below our Leverage Target to 3.4x. With the backdrop of strength and visibility in our business in 2025 and beyond, we increased our cash dividend by 4%, accelerating our return of capital to shareholders for the first time as a company." "We reported record full year 2024 Adjusted EBITDA1 growth of 16% year-over-year to $971.1 million, while continuing our cost discipline with 2024 Capital Expenditures2 of $264.5 million, below the low end of the full year guidance range. In the fourth quarter, results were temporarily impacted by unexpected events in November that resulted in a $15 million headwind. In November, the average gas daily price at Waha was negative $1.40/Mmbtu for the first 15 days due to scheduled maintenance on several intrastate gas pipelines, including Permian Highway Pipeline. Negative prices led Apache to curtail Alpine High existing volumes in November before fully reinstating those volumes in the beginning of December. Unlike prior months in 2024, Kinetik was fully exposed to lost Gross Margin from production curtailments since we did not have marketing gains from our now balanced Gulf Coast transport capacity position which was previously a net long position. Additionally, several of our Texas processing plants were operating in ethane rejection for maintenance work and commissioning activities. This created equity residue gas exposure at Waha, further negatively impacting Gross Margin. We have since implemented additional new processes and measures to manage this risk going forward." Welch continued, "I am incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished. Since closing the merger in February 2022, we have a demonstrated track record of compound annual double-digit Adjusted EBITDA1 growth and expect to continue such growth levels in 2025." 2025 Guidance Kinetik estimates full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA1 between $1.09 billion and $1.15 billion. The midpoint of the 2025 Guidance implies Adjusted EBITDA1 growth of 15% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA1 Guidance assumptions include: Approximately 20% growth year-over-year in gas processed volumes across the system and the start-up of Kings Landing at the end of June 2025; Approximately 83% of gross profit from fixed-fee contracts; 2025 average annual commodity prices of approximately $71 per barrel for WTI, $3.77 per Mmbtu for Houston Ship Channel natural gas, and $0.65 per gallon for natural gas liquids (market forward prices as of February 20, 2025); and Gross profit directly sourced from unhedged commodity prices represents approximately 4% of total gross profit. The Company also expects that its fourth quarter 2025 annualized Adjusted EBITDA1,4 will exceed $1.2 billion. That expected financial performance will position the Company well in 2026. Kinetik estimates aggregate 2025 Capital to be between $450 million and $540 million, including up to $75 million of contingent consideration to Morgan Stanley Energy Partners, the previous owner of Durango Permian. Capital guidance assumptions include: Remaining Capital Expenditures2 to complete Kings Landing, construction of the ECCC pipeline, continued build out of the low- and high-pressure gathering system in Eddy County, New Mexico, integration of the Barilla Draw assets, pre-FID work for Kings Landing Cryo II, and all other planned growth and maintenance capital across the existing Texas and New Mexico systems; and Reflects current market steel prices.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions. The words "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intends," "may," "might," "plan," "seeks," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "prospects," "guidance," "outlook," "should," "would," "will," and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company's future business strategy and other plans, expectations, and objectives for the Company's operations, including statements about strategy, synergies, sustainability goals and initiatives, portfolio monetization opportunities, expansion projects and future operations, and financial guidance; estimates of future operational and financial results; the Company's return of capital program; projected dividend amounts and the timing thereof and the Company's leverage and financial profile. While forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, whether actual results and developments will meet our expectations and predictions depend on a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause our actual results, performance, and financial condition to differ materially from our expectations. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 to be filed with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this news release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future development, or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Additional information Additional information follows, including a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow, and Net Debt (non-GAAP financial measures) to the GAAP measures. Non-GAAP financial measures Kinetik's financial information includes information prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as well as non-GAAP financial information. It is management's intent to provide non-GAAP financial information to enhance understanding of our consolidated financial information as prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow, Dividend Coverage Ratio, Net Debt and Leverage Ratio are non-GAAP measures. This non-GAAP information should be considered by the reader in addition to, but not instead of, the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated. See "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures" elsewhere in this news release. This news release also includes certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial information. Reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measure are not available without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various reconciling items that would impact the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, that have not yet occurred, are out of Kinetik's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, such reconciliation is excluded from this new release. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures. 1. A non-GAAP financial measure. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures" for further details. 2. Net of contributions in aid of construction and returns of invested capital from unconsolidated affiliates. 3. Leverage Ratio is total debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, calculated in the Company's credit agreement. The calculation includes EBITDA Adjustments for Qualified Projects, Acquisitions and Divestitures. 4. A reconciliation of expected full year or annualized fourth quarter 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the closest GAAP financial measure, cannot be provided without unreasonable efforts due to the inherent difficulty in quantifying certain amounts, including share-based compensation expense, which is affected by factors including future personnel needs and the future prices of our Class A Common Stock, which may be significant. 5. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Ratio is defined as Net Debt divided by last twelve months Adjusted EBITDA. 6. Net income including noncontrolling interest for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 was $267.4 million and $386.5 million, respectively. 7. Dividend Coverage Ratio is Distributable Cash Flow divided by total declared dividends of $123.1 million and $479.4 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024. 8. Issued and outstanding shares of 157,712,645 is the sum of 59,929,611 shares of Class A common stock and 97,783,034 shares of Class C common stock. Excludes 7,680,492 shares of Class C common stock to be issued on July 1, 2025 in connection with the Durango Permian acquisition. 9. Net Debt is defined as total current and long-term debt, excluding deferred financing costs, less cash and cash equivalents.

defined as net income including noncontrolling interests adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain or loss on disposal of assets and debt extinguishment, the proportionate EBITDA from our EMI pipelines, equity income and gain from sale of investments recorded using the equity method, share-based compensation expense, noncash increases and decreases related to hedging activities, fair value adjustments for contingent liabilities, integration and transaction costs and extraordinary losses and unusual or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EBITDA provides a basis for comparison of our business operations between current, past and future periods by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including non-controlling interests or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. (2) Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted for the proportionate EBITDA from unconsolidated affiliates, returns on invested capital from unconsolidated affiliates, interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, unrealized gains or losses on interest rate derivatives and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including non-controlling interests or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Distributable Cash Flow is a useful measure to compare cash generation performance from period to period and to compare the cash generation performance for specific periods to the amount of cash dividends we make. (3) Free Cash Flow is defined as Distributable Cash Flow adjusted for growth capital expenditures, investments in unconsolidated affiliates, returns of invested capital from unconsolidated affiliates, cash interest, capitalized interest, realized gains or losses on interest rate derivatives and contributions in aid of construction. Free Cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of net income including non-controlling interests or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that Free Cash Flow is a useful performance measure to compare cash generation performance from period to period and to compare the cash generation performance for specific periods to the amount of cash dividends that we make. (4) Net Debt is defined as total short-term and long-term debt, excluding deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts, less cash and cash equivalents. Net Debt illustrates our total debt position less cash on hand that could be utilized to pay down debt at the balance sheet date. Net Debt should not be considered as an alternative to the GAAP measure of total long-term debt, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP.
