Keyera Corp. Just Beat Earnings Expectations: Here's What Analysts Think Will Happen Next
Keyera Corp. (TSE:KEY) came out with its first-quarter results last week, and we wanted to see how the business is performing and what industry forecasters think of the company following this report. The result was positive overall - although revenues of CA$1.8b were in line with what the analysts predicted, Keyera surprised by delivering a statutory profit of CA$0.57 per share, modestly greater than expected. Following the result, the analysts have updated their earnings model, and it would be good to know whether they think there's been a strong change in the company's prospects, or if it's business as usual. So we collected the latest post-earnings statutory consensus estimates to see what could be in store for next year. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. Following the recent earnings report, the consensus from six analysts covering Keyera is for revenues of CA$6.12b in 2025. This implies a considerable 17% decline in revenue compared to the last 12 months. Statutory earnings per share are expected to shrink 8.5% to CA$2.18 in the same period. Yet prior to the latest earnings, the analysts had been anticipated revenues of CA$6.43b and earnings per share (EPS) of CA$2.10 in 2025. So it's pretty clear that while sentiment around revenues has declined following the latest results, the analysts are now more bullish on the company's earnings power. Check out our latest analysis for Keyera There's been no real change to the average price target of CA$46.23, with the lower revenue and higher earnings forecasts not expected to meaningfully impact the company's valuation over a longer timeframe. The consensus price target is just an average of individual analyst targets, so - it could be handy to see how wide the range of underlying estimates is. There are some variant perceptions on Keyera, with the most bullish analyst valuing it at CA$51.00 and the most bearish at CA$41.00 per share. This is a very narrow spread of estimates, implying either that Keyera is an easy company to value, or - more likely - the analysts are relying heavily on some key assumptions. Looking at the bigger picture now, one of the ways we can make sense of these forecasts is to see how they measure up against both past performance and industry growth estimates. These estimates imply that revenue is expected to slow, with a forecast annualised decline of 22% by the end of 2025. This indicates a significant reduction from annual growth of 18% over the last five years. By contrast, our data suggests that other companies (with analyst coverage) in the same industry are forecast to see their revenue grow 2.1% annually for the foreseeable future. So although its revenues are forecast to shrink, this cloud does not come with a silver lining - Keyera is expected to lag the wider industry. The most important thing here is that the analysts upgraded their earnings per share estimates, suggesting that there has been a clear increase in optimism towards Keyera following these results. On the negative side, they also downgraded their revenue estimates, and forecasts imply they will perform worse than the wider industry. Even so, earnings per share are more important to the intrinsic value of the business. The consensus price target held steady at CA$46.23, with the latest estimates not enough to have an impact on their price targets. With that in mind, we wouldn't be too quick to come to a conclusion on Keyera. Long-term earnings power is much more important than next year's profits.

Keyera Announces 2025 First Quarter Results and Sanctions KFS Frac III Expansion
CALGARY, AB , May 15, 2025 /CNW/ - Keyera Corp. (TSX: KEY) ("Keyera") announced its first quarter financial results today, the highlights of which are included in this news release. To view Management's Discussion and Analysis (the "MD&A") and financial statements, visit either Keyera's website or its filings on SEDAR+ at "Keyera's first quarter results underscore the strength and competitiveness of our integrated value chain," said Dean Setoguchi , President and CEO. "This morning's sanctioning announcement of KFS Frac III marks a significant step forward in expanding our core infrastructure. With construction of the Frac II Debottleneck set to begin this summer and commercial discussions for KAPS Zone 4 nearing completion, we are advancing our strategy to grow fee-for-service cash flow and create long-term value for shareholders." First Quarter Highlights Financial Results Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, 1 ("adjusted EBITDA") were $298 million (Q1 2024 – $314 million ). These results were driven by strong quarterly contributions from the Gathering and Processing segment and near-record contributions from the Liquids Infrastructure segment. Distributable cash flow 1 ("DCF") was $190 million or $0.83 per share for the quarter (Q1 2024 – $205 million or $0.90 per share). Net earnings were $130 million (Q1 2024 – $71 million ). Continued Growth in High Quality, Fee-For-Service Realized Margin 1 Fee-for-service realized margin 1 was $262 million , up 9% from $241 million in the same period last year. This steady growth in stable, fee-based cash flow continues to support sustainable dividend increases. The Gathering and Processing ("G&P") segment delivered realized margin 1 of $109 million in the first quarter (Q1 2024 – $104 million ), driven by continued strength in the North region gas plants. Wapiti set a new quarterly throughput record, while contracted volumes at Simonette continued to ramp up. The North region accounted for 73% of the segment's realized margin 1 and is expected to support further growth in stable cash flow, benefiting from a high proportion of long-term take-or-pay contracts with strong counterparties. The Liquids Infrastructure segment achieved a near-record quarterly realized margin 1 of $152 million (Q1 2024 – $137 million ), driven by the continued ramp-up of long-term contracted volumes on KAPS, high utilization of fractionation services, and the ongoing filling of available capacity on Keyera's industry-leading condensate handling system. Marketing Segment Results and AEF Update – The Marketing segment recorded quarterly realized margin 1 of $78 million (Q1 2024 – $114 million ). The main contributors were sales of iso-octane and propane. At Alberta EnviroFuels ("AEF"), the previously announced outage took approximately seven weeks to complete, compared to the original estimate of six weeks. The company now expects the outage to impact annual Marketing segment realized margin 1 by approximately $50 million , up from the prior estimate of $40 million . Start-up is complete, and the facility has returned to full operations. Strong Financial Position – The company ended the quarter with net debt to adjusted EBITDA 2 of 2.0 times, below the targeted range of 2.5 to 3.0 times. The company remains well positioned to pursue and equity self-fund organic growth opportunities that will enhance shareholder value. 2025 Guidance Unchanged Following the completion of the NGL contracting season, Marketing segment 2025 realized margin 1 is expected to remain within the previous long-term base guidance range of $310 to $350 million . The outlook includes the estimated $50 million impact on the segment's annual realized margin 1 due to the seven-week maintenance outage at AEF. It also reflects the benefits of Keyera's risk management program, which mitigates the impact of commodity price volatility. Growth capital expenditures are expected to range between $300 million and $330 million . This includes capital investments to advance the debottleneck of Keyera Fort Saskatchewan Fractionation Unit II ("KFS Frac II Debottleneck"), the new build of Keyera Fort Saskatchewan Fractionation Unit III ("KFS Frac III"), the extension of the existing KAPS pipeline from Pipestone to Gordondale, Alberta ("KAPS Zone 4"), enhancements at AEF, and optimization work across the portfolio. Maintenance capital expenditures are expected to range between $70 million and $90 million . Cash taxes are expected to range between $100 million and $110 million . Sanction of KFS Frac III and Other Commercial Progress Keyera continues to progress toward its 7-8% fee-based adjusted EBITDA 1 CAGR target from 2024 to 2027. The company has been successful in securing several additional long-term integrated contracts for volumes across its value chain. These contracts contribute to meeting Keyera's growth target by underpinning capital-efficient investments and by filling available capacity. Capital-efficient growth projects: The company has sanctioned the 47,000 barrel per day KFS Frac III project, a major expansion of Keyera's core fractionation hub in Fort Saskatchewan . The project is expected to cost $500 million , including investments to enhance egress capability at the plant, and enter service in mid-2028. This project will further strengthen the strategic role of the KFS complex within Keyera's integrated value chain. KFS Frac III, combined with the previously sanctioned KFS Frac II Debottleneck project, will increase Keyera's total fractionation capacity by about 60%, including the Rimbey complex. This reinforces the company's ability to meet the growing needs of the basin and attract incremental volumes across its system. As previously disclosed in February, the company formally sanctioned the KFS Frac II Debottleneck project, which will add approximately 8,000 barrels per day of capacity for $85 million . Construction is scheduled to begin this summer, with the additional capacity expected online in mid-2026. A large majority of fractionation capacity at KFS, including expansions, is now contracted with an average term of approximately 8 years and a high take-or-pay component. Keyera continues to advance KAPS Zone 4 with commercial discussions nearing completion. The company continues to progress other potential opportunities which include the expansion of North Region G&P capacity, expanding rail and logistics capabilities as fractionation volumes grow, and further liquids extraction projects. Filling of available capacity: The Wapiti gas plant is now expected to achieve utilization of effective capacity in 2026, a year earlier than previously expected. This is due to strong customer demand and successful contracting efforts. Several optimization projects are advancing to increase plant capacity and accommodate future growth. Keyera's condensate handling systems continued to benefit from strong customer demand, with new long-term contracts signed in the quarter. This supported near-record shipped volumes and higher contracted utilization. The Fort Saskatchewan Condensate System ("FSCS") is now nearing contractual capacity, and Keyera is evaluating debottlenecking opportunities that could expand capacity to accommodate further demand.

In December 2024 , we outlined a plan to grow fee-based adjusted EBITDA by 7 to 8% annually through 2027. Five months later, we are making strong progress. This morning, we announced the sanctioning of KFS Frac III, a major expansion of our core fractionation complex in Fort Saskatchewan . When combined with the Frac II Debottleneck, it will increase our total fractionation capacity by about 60%. These investments position us to meet the growing needs of the basin and attract volumes across our integrated value chain. At the same time, we continue to fill available capacity at core assets such as Wapiti, KAPS, and our condensate system, contributing to steady growth in high-quality, fee-for-service cash flow. We are also advancing KAPS Zone 4, with commercial discussions nearing completion. These initiatives strengthen our platform and support our long-term growth strategy. Constructive Volume Growth Outlook for Western Canada . Even with recent volatility in commodity markets, the region remains resilient given its low cost-structure. Historically, constrained market access has limited the ability of Canadian producers to grow production. However, we are now seeing meaningful improvement in egress capacity across multiple products. For Canadian crude, the Trans Mountain Expansion is operational, enhancing access to tidewater which is enabling oil sands growth. Growth in natural gas volumes is supported by the imminent start-up of LNG Canada and other incremental west coast LNG export projects which are at various stages of development. Growing LPG export capacity and increased liquids takeaway options are also improving connectivity to international markets. In parallel, intra-basin demand continues to grow. Oil sands producers are pursuing expansion and debottlenecking opportunities, increasing the need for condensate, natural gas, and solvents. Over time, natural gas may also play a larger role in meeting power demands from new sources such as data centers, creating the need for market solutions for associated natural gas liquids. Keyera's asset base is strategically positioned to serve this growing demand, and we will continue to invest where we see long-term, sustainable growth opportunities. Advancing Canada's Energy Competitiveness. Despite these positive developments, Canada will need to do more to remain competitive over the long-term. Canada is endowed with one of the largest oil and gas reserves in the world, responsibly developed under stringent environmental and social standards. Recent trade actions, while ultimately not applied to most Canadian energy products, highlight the ongoing risk of tariffs and barriers that can limit market access. Now is the time to create a policy environment that enables responsible growth, attracts capital, and expands access to global markets for the benefit of all Canadians. Disciplined Capital Allocation to Maximize Value for Shareholders. As always, we remain focused on disciplined capital allocation. Our strong balance sheet gives us the flexibility to accelerate growth, either organically or inorganically, and to return capital to shareholders. We will continue to evaluate opportunities through a long-term lens, ensuring we create value in a measured and prudent way. On behalf of Keyera's board of directors and management team, I want to thank our employees, customers, shareholders, Indigenous rights holders, and other stakeholders for their continued support. Together, we will continue to drive Keyera's success and contribute positively to Canada's energy landscape. Dean Setoguchi Keyera Corp. 1 Keyera uses certain non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and other financial measures such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, funds from operations, distributable cash flow, distributable cash flow per share, payout ratio, realized margin, fee-for-service realized margin and compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") for fee-based adjusted EBITDA.

Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures This news release refers to certain financial and other measures that are not determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Measures such as funds from operations, distributable cash flow, distributable cash flow per share, payout ratio, realized margin, fee-for-service realized margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") for fee-based adjusted EBITDA are not standard measures under GAAP or are supplementary financial measures, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other entities. Management believes that these non-GAAP and other financial measures facilitate the understanding of Keyera's results of operations, leverage, liquidity and financial position. These measures do not have any standardized meaning under GAAP and therefore, should not be considered in isolation, or used in substitution for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. For additional information on these non-GAAP and other financial measures, including reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for Keyera's historical non-GAAP financial measures, refer below and to Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the period ended March 31, 2025 , which is available on SEDAR+ at and Keyera's website at Specifically, refer to the sections of the MD&A titled, "Non-GAAP and Other Financial Measures", "Forward-Looking Statements", "Segmented Results of Operations", "Dividends: Funds from Operations, Distributable Cash Flow and Payout Ratio", and "EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA". Funds from Operations and Distributable Cash Flow ("DCF") Funds from operations is defined as cash flow from operating activities adjusted for changes in non-cash working capital. This measure is used to assess the level of cash flow generated from operating activities excluding the effect of changes in non-cash working capital, as they are primarily the result of seasonal fluctuations in product inventories or other temporary changes. Funds from operations is also a valuable measure that allows investors to compare Keyera with other infrastructure companies within the oil and gas industry. Distributable cash flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities adjusted for changes in non-cash working capital, inventory write-downs, maintenance capital expenditures and lease payments, including the periodic costs related to prepaid leases. Distributable cash flow per share is defined as distributable cash flow divided by weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic. Distributable cash flow is used to assess the level of cash flow generated from ongoing operations and to evaluate the adequacy of internally generated cash flow to fund dividends. The following is a reconciliation of funds from operations and distributable cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, cash flow from operating activities: Funds from Operations and Distributable Cash Flow Three months ended March 31, (Thousands of Canadian dollars) 2025 2024 Cash flow from operating activities 165,325 398,040 Add (deduct): Changes in non-cash working capital 56,912 (166,315) Funds from operations 222,237 231,725 Maintenance capital (16,039) (12,891) Leases (14,484) (12,901) Prepaid lease asset (595) (595) Inventory write-down (1,540) — Distributable cash flow 189,579 205,338 Payout Ratio Payout ratio is calculated as dividends declared to shareholders divided by distributable cash flow. This ratio is used to assess the sustainability of the company's dividend payment program. Payout Ratio Three months ended March 31, (Thousands of Canadian dollars, except %) 2025 2024 Distributable cash flow 1 189,579 205,338 Dividends declared to shareholders 119,160 114,577 Payout ratio 63 % 56 % 1 Non-GAAP measure as defined above. Realized Margin Realized margin is defined as operating margin excluding unrealized gains and losses on commodity-related risk management contracts. Management believes that this supplemental measure facilitates the understanding of the financial results for the operating segments in the period without the effect of mark-to-market changes from risk management contracts related to future periods. Fee-for-service realized margin includes realized margin for the Gathering and Processing and Liquids Infrastructure segments. The following is a reconciliation of realized margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, operating margin: Fee-for-Service Realized Margin Three months ended March 31, 2025 (Thousands of Canadian dollars) Gathering & Processing Liquids Infrastructure Fee-for-Service Operating margin 112,140 155,512 267,652 Unrealized gain on risk management contracts (2,834) (3,065) (5,899) Realized margin 109,306 152,447 261,753 Fee-for-Service Realized Margin Three months ended March 31, 2024 (Thousands of Canadian dollars) Gathering & Processing Liquids Infrastructure Fee-for-Service Operating margin 103,767 135,145 238,912 Unrealized loss on risk management contracts 562 1,418 1,980 Realized margin 104,329 136,563 240,892 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA is a measure showing earnings before finance costs, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA before costs associated with non-cash items, including unrealized gains and losses on commodity-related contracts, net foreign currency gains and losses on U.S. debt and other, impairment expenses and any other non-cash items such as gains and losses on the disposal of property, plant and equipment. Management believes that these supplemental measures facilitate the understanding of Keyera's results from operations. In particular these measures are used as an indication of earnings generated from operations after consideration of administrative and overhead costs. The following is a reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net earnings: Compound Annual Growth Rate ("CAGR") for Fee-Based Adjusted EBITDA CAGR is calculated as follows: * Utilizes beginning and end of period fee-based adjusted EBITDA as defined below. CAGR for fee-based adjusted EBITDA is intended to provide information on a forward-looking basis (initiating a 7% to 8% fee-based adjusted EBITDA CAGR target from 2024 to 2027). This calculation utilizes beginning and end of period fee-based adjusted EBITDA, which includes the following components and assumptions: i) forecasted fee-for-service realized margin (realized margin for the Gathering and Processing and Liquids Infrastructure segments), and ii) adjustments for total forecasted general and administrative, and long-term incentive plan expense. The following includes the equivalent historical measure for fee-based adjusted EBITDA, which is the non-GAAP measure component of the related forward-looking CAGR calculation.
