Norton II, ONEOK president and chief executive officer. “Our performance through the first half of the year and our expectations for 2021 provide a tailwind into 2022. “ONEOK remains focused on operating our assets in a safe, reliable and environmentally responsible manner with the health and safety of our employees top of mind,” added Norton. “We’re committed to meeting our customers’ needs as we provide essential energy resources to a recovering global economy.” SECOND QUARTER 2021 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE ONEOK’s second quarter 2021 net income and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) increased, compared with the second quarter 2020. Higher results benefited from increased natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) volumes in the Rocky Mountain region and lower realized commodity prices in the second quarter 2020
ONEOK Announces Higher Second Quarter 2021 Earnings Aug. 3, 2021 Page 3 -more- in the natural gas gathering and processing segment. Net income for the period also increased due to higher interest expense in the second quarter 2020 related to the settlement of interest-rate swaps. Results included higher operating costs from materials, supplies and outside services expenses, higher employee-related costs and property taxes. Net income for the period also included higher depreciation expense due to capital projects placed in service in 2020. HIGHLIGHTS: • Second quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA of $801.5 million, a 50% increase compared with second quarter 2020. • ONEOK’s annual Corporate Sustainability Report was released in July 2021. • The Arbuckle II Pipeline expansion, increasing capacity up to 500,000 barrels per day (bpd), was completed in the second quarter 2021. • The 200 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) Bear Creek natural gas processing plant expansion and related infrastructure in the Williston Basin is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter 2021. • In July 2021, declaring a quarterly dividend of 93.5 cents per share, or $3.74 per share on an annualized basis. • As of June 30, 2021: ◦ 4.30 times annualized run-rate net debt-to-EBITDA ratio. ◦ No borrowings outstanding under ONEOK’s $2.5 billion credit agreement. ◦ $374.4 million of cash and cash equivalents. BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS: Natural Gas Liquids Segment Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, Natural Gas Liquids Segment 2021 2020 2021 2020 (Millions of dollars) Adjusted EBITDA $ 480.3 $ 337.6 $ 915.9 $ 748.6 Capital expenditures $ 60.0 $ 459.8 $ 172.0 $ 1,206.0 The increase in second quarter 2021 adjusted EBITDA, compared with the second quarter 2020, primarily reflects: • A $137.5 million increase in exchange services due primarily to: ◦ $118.2 million in higher volumes in the Rocky Mountain region and lower transportation costs,
ONEOK Announces Higher Second Quarter 2021 Earnings Aug. 3, 2021 Page 4 -more- ◦ $20.6 million related to wider commodity price differentials, and ◦ $12.3 million related to the recognition of proceeds previously considered a gain contingency, offset by ◦ $12.1 million in lower earnings related to higher unfractionated NGLs held in inventory resulting from planned and unplanned outages at ONEOK’s fractionation facilities. The related earnings benefit of approximately $12.5 million is expected to be recognized in the second half of 2021 as current inventory is fractionated and sold; and • A $35.9 million increase in optimization and marketing due primarily to wider location price differentials and increased optimization volumes; offset by • A $21.9 million increase in operating costs due primarily to increased property taxes associated with ONEOK’s completed capital-growth projects, higher outside services expenses and employee-related costs. The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the six-month 2021 period, compared with the same period last year, primarily reflects: • A $201.2 million increase in exchange services (excluding the impact of Winter Storm Uri discussed below) due primarily to: ◦ $187.6 million in higher volumes in the Rocky Mountain region and lower transportation costs, offset by $11.0 million in lower volumes in the Permian Basin due to short-term contracts in 2020 and increased ethane rejection in 2021, ◦ $36.4 million related to wider commodity price differentials, and ◦ $12.3 million related to the recognition of proceeds previously considered a gain contingency, offset by ◦ $21.6 million in lower earnings related to higher unfractionated NGLs held in inventory resulting from planned and unplanned outages at ONEOK’s fractionation facilities. The related earnings benefit of approximately $12.5 million is expected to be recognized in the second half of 2021 as current inventory is fractionated and sold, and • A $74.7 million increase in optimization and marketing due primarily to increased activities during Winter Storm Uri, unfavorable changes in the value of NGLs held in inventory in 2020 and wider 2021 location price differentials; offset by • A $46.2 million decrease in exchange services related to Winter Storm Uri due primarily to decreased volumes across ONEOK’s operations and increased electricity costs; • A $43.5 million increase in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs and increased property taxes associated with ONEOK’s completed capital-growth projects; and • A $14.4 million decrease in equity in net earnings from investments due primarily to lower volumes on the Overland Pass Pipeline.

ONEOK Announces Higher Second Quarter 2021 Earnings Aug. 3, 2021 Page 7 -more- ONEOK has disclosed in this news release adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA), distributable cash flow and dividend coverage ratio, which are non-GAAP financial metrics, used to measure the company’s financial performance and are defined as follows: • Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted for interest expense, depreciation and amortization, noncash impairment charges, income taxes, noncash compensation expense, allowance for equity funds used during construction (equity AFUDC), and other noncash items; • 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 in 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 our financial performance and to compare our financial performance with the performance of other companies within our industry. Adjusted EBITDA, ONEOK 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 (loss) to adjusted EBITDA, distributable cash flow and coverage ratio are included in the tables. ONEOK, Inc.
