Reconciliations to relevant GAAP measures are included in this news release. “Growth across our business segments continues to drive strong results, providing another year of increased companywide earnings in 2019,” said Terry K. Spencer, ONEOK president and chief executive officer. “Our outlook for greater than 20% earnings growth in 2020 is supported by the upcoming completion of critical ONEOK natural gas and NGL infrastructure, including assets to help significantly reduce natural gas flaring in the Williston Basin. These projects will provide immediate earnings and volume uplift in 2020 and stable fee-based growth for years to come. “Our capital-growth projects remain on, or ahead of schedule. We recently completed the Demicks Lake I plant in the Williston Basin, expect line fill activities to begin on the northern section of the Elk Creek NGL pipeline in November 2019 and expect a portion of our MB-4 fractionator in Mont Belvieu to be completed in the fourth quarter 2019,” added Spencer. THIRD QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE 2019 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE ONEOK’s net income and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) were $309.2 million and $649.8 million, respectively, in the third quarter 2019. Results were driven primarily by natural gas liquids (NGL) and natural gas volume growth, higher average fee rates in the natural gas liquids segment and increased transportation services in the natural gas pipelines segment, compared with the third quarter 2018. Results were primarily offset by lower earnings from optimization and marketing due to wide location price differentials in the third quarter 2018, lower Mid-Continent NGL volumes -more-
ONEOK Announces Third Quarter 2019 Results; Updates 2019 Financial Guidance and Maintains 2020 Outlook Oct. 29, 2019 Page 3 due primarily to increased ethane rejection and the timing of exchange services earnings due to higher unfractionated NGLs in inventory, all in the natural gas liquids segment. Higher operating costs and depreciation expense due to the growth of ONEOK’s operations also impacted third quarter 2019 results. ONEOK’s year-to-date 2019 net income and adjusted EBITDA increased 11% and 5%, respectively, compared with the same period in 2018. Higher results were primarily driven by fee-based volume growth across ONEOK’s operations. HIGHLIGHTS: • Capital-growth projects update: ◦ The 200 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) Demicks Lake I natural gas processing plant in the Williston Basin was completed in October 2019; ◦ Line fill activities on the northern section of the Elk Creek Pipeline from the Williston Basin to the Powder River Basin are expected to begin in November 2019. The southern section of Elk Creek from the Powder River Basin to ONEOK’s existing Mid-Continent NGL facilities was completed in July 2019; ◦ The 200 MMcf/d Demicks Lake II natural gas processing plant and related infrastructure is expected to be completed in January 2020; • Declaring in October 2019 a quarterly dividend of 91.5 cents per share, or $3.66 per share on an annualized basis; • Completing in August 2019 a $2 billion public offering of senior notes, consisting of $500 million of 2.75% five-year senior notes, $750 million of 3.40% 10-year senior notes and $750 million of 4.45% 30-year senior notes, generating net proceeds of $1.97 billion; • Net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 4.5 times on an annualized run-rate basis and 4.6 times on a trailing 12-month basis as of Sept. 30, 2019; • Repaying in August 2019 $250 million of the $1.5 billion term loan agreement due 2021; • Redeeming in September 2019 $300 million of 3.8% senior notes due March 2020; and • Having $2.5 billion of borrowing capacity available under its credit agreement and $673.3 million of cash and cash equivalents as of Sept. 30, 2019. BUSINESS-SEGMENT RESULTS: Natural Gas Liquids Segment Third quarter 2019 NGL raw feed throughput volumes increased 3%, compared with the same period in 2018, driven by higher volumes in the Rocky Mountain region and the Permian Basin. The segment connected seven third-party natural gas processing plants to its system in the first nine months of 2019, including five in the Mid-Continent region, one in the Permian -more-

Five existing third-party plant connections were also expanded in the first nine months of 2019, including two in the Mid-Continent region, two in the Permian Basin and one in the Williston Basin.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month 2019 period was relatively unchanged, compared with the same period last year, due to: • A $57.2 million decrease in optimization and marketing due to a decrease of $77.1 million related to wide location price differentials in the prior year, particularly in the third quarter 2018, offset partially by higher marketing of $9.0 million primarily related to the sale of NGL purity products previously held in inventory, $7.8 million in increased optimization volume and $3.1 million in higher earnings related primarily to product price differentials; and • A $47.7 million increase in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs and the timing of routine maintenance projects; offset partially by • A $109.0 million increase in exchange services due to $109.7 million from higher volumes primarily in the Rocky Mountain region, STACK and SCOOP areas and the Permian Basin, $73.2 million in higher average fee rates primarily in the Permian Basin and the Rocky Mountain region, offset partially by $45.9 million due primarily to higher -more-

Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Segment The natural gas gathering and processing segment’s third quarter 2019 adjusted EBITDA increased 10%, compared with the same period in 2018. Volume growth in the Williston Basin and STACK and SCOOP areas of the Mid- Continent contributed to a 7% increase in natural gas volumes processed compared with the same period in 2018.

The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month 2019 period, compared with the same period last year, primarily reflects: • A $74.4 million increase due primarily to natural gas volume growth in the Williston Basin and STACK and SCOOP areas, offset partially by natural production declines; and • A $3.7 million decrease in operating costs due primarily to lower outside services and materials and supplies expenses, offset partially by higher employee-related costs due to operational growth; offset partially by • A $13.4 million decrease due primarily to lower realized NGL and natural gas prices, net of hedges; and • A $5.6 million decrease due primarily to lower equity in net earnings from investments in the dry natural gas area of the Powder River Basin. -more-

The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month 2019 period, compared with the same period last year, primarily reflects: • A $50.6 million increase from higher transportation services due primarily to firm transportation capacity contracted due to completed expansion projects; and • A $4.7 million increase due primarily to higher equity in net earnings from investments due to increased firm transportation capacity contracted on Roadrunner Gas Transmission; offset partially by • A $7.9 million increase in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs and property taxes due to operational growth; and • A $7.2 million decrease from lower net retained fuel and the timing of equity gas sales.
