ONEOK Announces 27% Increase in First-quarter 2019 Net Income April 30, 2019 Page 2 “Our capital-growth program remains on track and on budget, with our largest projects slated for completion beginning early in the third quarter of 2019 through the first quarter of 2020,” said Terry K. Spencer, ONEOK president and chief executive officer. “Over the coming months, we expect to add critical NGL takeaway, fractionation and natural gas processing capacity for our customers where they need it most, providing ONEOK with substantial long- term earnings and cash flow growth. “Continued strong producer activity and recent project completions resulted in solid first- quarter results that have positioned us well for the remainder of 2019,” added Spencer. FIRST-QUARTER 2019 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE ONEOK’s net income and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) increased 27% and 12%, respectively, in the first quarter 2019, compared with the first quarter 2018. Higher results were driven primarily by NGL and natural gas volume growth in the Williston Basin, and NGL volume growth in the STACK and SCOOP areas and Permian Basin. Increased NGL optimization and marketing activities, higher average fee rates in the natural gas liquids segment and increased transportation services in the natural gas pipelines segment also contributed to higher results. Net income also increased due to higher allowance for equity funds used during construction (AFUDC) due to spending on ONEOK’s announced capital-growth projects. Results were offset partially by higher employee-related costs in all three segments, the timing of routine maintenance costs in the natural gas liquids segment and costs associated with the growth of ONEOK’s operations in the natural gas gathering and processing segment. HIGHLIGHTS: • Announcing in April 2019 a $100 million, 75-mile NGL pipeline lateral connecting the northern portion of the Bakken NGL Pipeline with a third-party natural gas processing plant in Williams County, North Dakota; • Declaring in April 2019 a quarterly dividend of 86.5 cents per share, or $3.46 per share on an annualized basis, an increase of 9% compared with the same quarter in 2018; • Distributable cash flow (DCF) in excess of dividends paid of $152.6 million; • Completing in March 2019 a $1.25 billion public offering of senior notes, consisting of $700 million of 10-year senior notes at a coupon of 4.35% and $550 million of 5.20% senior notes due 2048 through an add-on to its existing issue, generating net proceeds of approximately $1.23 billion; • Debt-to-EBITDA ratio on an annualized run-rate basis of 4.0 times as of March 31, 2019; • Having $2.50 billion available under its credit agreement and $750 million available on its three-year unsecured term loan agreement, totaling $3.25 billion of available borrowing capacity combined as of March 31, 2019; and -more-


 
ONEOK Announces 27% Increase in First-quarter 2019 Net Income April 30, 2019 Page 3 • Repaying in March 2019 $500 million of 8.625% senior notes. BUSINESS-SEGMENT RESULTS: Natural Gas Liquids Segment The natural gas liquids segment’s first-quarter 2019 adjusted EBITDA increased 10%, compared with the same period in 2018, due primarily to higher volumes in the Williston and Permian basins and STACK and SCOOP areas, and higher earnings from optimization and marketing activities. First-quarter 2019 NGL raw feed throughput volumes increased 8%, compared with the same period in 2018. Three Months Ended March 31, Natural Gas Liquids Segment 2019 2018 Adjusted EBITDA $ 377.6 $ 342.1 Capital expenditures $ 639.3 $ 124.9 The increase in first-quarter 2019 adjusted EBITDA, compared with the first quarter 2018, primarily reflects: • A $30.5 million increase in exchange services due to $44.8 million from higher volumes primarily in the Williston and Permian basins and the STACK and SCOOP areas and $21.6 million in higher average fee rates primarily in the Permian Basin, offset partially by $21.7 million in higher rail transportation and third-party fractionation costs, $7.5 million due primarily to narrower product price differentials and $4.7 million related to unfractionated NGLs in inventory; and • A $26.5 million increase in optimization and marketing due primarily to higher earnings on the sale of NGL products previously held in inventory and wider location price differentials; offset partially by • An $18.8 million increase in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs and the timing of routine maintenance projects. Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Segment The natural gas gathering and processing segment’s first-quarter 2019 adjusted EBITDA increased 17%, compared with the same period in 2018. -more-


 
ONEOK Announces 27% Increase in First-quarter 2019 Net Income April 30, 2019 Page 4 Continued volume growth primarily in the Williston Basin drove higher first-quarter results, including a 7% increase in total natural gas volumes processed compared with the same period in 2018. The segment also continues to benefit from higher fee-based earnings, with an average fee rate of 91 cents per Million British thermal units (MMBtu) in the first quarter 2019, compared with 88 cents per MMBtu in the first quarter 2018. Three Months Ended March 31, Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Segment 2019 2018 Adjusted EBITDA $ 152.2 $ 130.6 Capital expenditures $ 215.1 $ 111.7 First-quarter 2019 adjusted EBITDA increased, compared with the first quarter 2018, which primarily reflects: • A $24.4 million increase due primarily to natural gas volume growth in the Williston Basin, offset partially by natural production declines; and • A $4.0 million increase due primarily to higher realized natural gas prices, net of hedges; offset partially by • A $3.8 million increase in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs due to the growth of ONEOK’s operations, offset partially by lower materials and supplies expenses; and • A $2.9 million decrease due primarily to lower equity in net earnings from investments in the coal-bed methane area of the Powder River Basin. Natural Gas Pipelines Segment The natural gas pipelines segment’s adjusted EBITDA increased 14% in the first quarter 2019, compared with the same period in 2018, due primarily to higher firm transportation capacity contracted. Three Months Ended March 31, Natural Gas Pipelines Segment 2019 2018 Adjusted EBITDA $ 106.6 $ 93.6 Capital expenditures $ 28.7 $ 19.9 -more-


 
ONEOK Announces 27% Increase in First-quarter 2019 Net Income April 30, 2019 Page 5 The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter 2019, compared with the first quarter 2018, primarily reflects: • A $15.7 million increase from higher transportation services due primarily to higher firm transportation capacity contracted; and • A $5.0 million increase in equity in net earnings from investments due to increased seasonal transportation capacity contracted on Northern Border Pipeline; offset partially by • A $4.6 million decrease from lower net retained fuel and the timing of equity gas sales; and • A $2.3 million increase in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs.

ONEOK Announces 27% Increase in First-quarter 2019 Net Income April 30, 2019 Page 6 • Distributable cash flow is defined as adjusted EBITDA, computed as described above, less interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures and equity earnings from investments, excluding noncash impairment charges, adjusted for cash distributions received from unconsolidated affiliates and certain other items; and • Dividend coverage ratio is defined as ONEOK’s distributable cash flow to ONEOK shareholders divided by the dividends paid for the period. These non-GAAP financial measures described above are useful to investors because they, and similar measures, are used by many companies in the industry as a measure of financial performance and are commonly employed by financial analysts and others to evaluate ONEOK’s financial performance and to compare ONEOK’s financial performance with the performance of other companies within ONEOK’s industry. Adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and dividend coverage ratio should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income. Additionally, these calculations may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of net income to adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and dividend coverage ratio are included in the tables. ONEOK, Inc.
