ONE Gas Announces First-quarter 2016 Financial Results
Declares Second-quarter Dividend;
Reaffirms 2016 Financial Guidance
TULSA, Okla. - May 2, 2016 - ONE Gas, Inc. (NYSE: OGS) today announced financial results for its first quarter 2016; declared its quarterly dividend; and reaffirmed its 2016 financial guidance.
Highlights include:
• | First-quarter 2016 net income was $64.7 million, or $1.22 per diluted share, compared with $60.4 million, or $1.13 per diluted share, in the first quarter 2015; |
• | Actual heating degree days across the company’s service areas were 4,550 in the first quarter 2016, 14 percent warmer than normal and 18 percent warmer than the same period last year; and |
• | The board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of 35 cents per share, or $1.40 per share on an annualized basis, payable on June 1, 2016, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 16, 2016. |
“New rates and warmer weather in our service territories impacted first quarter results,” said Pierce H. Norton II, president and chief executive officer. “Safety, investing in the integrity and reliability of our systems and delivering excellent customer service continue to be priorities for ONE Gas as we execute on our long-term strategic plan.”
FIRST-QUARTER 2016 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
ONE Gas reported operating income of $116.1 million in the first quarter 2016, compared with $109.0 million in the first quarter 2015.
Net margin increased by $9.6 million compared with first quarter 2015, which primarily reflects:
• | A $13.8 million increase from new rates in Oklahoma and Texas; |
• | A $1.0 million increase attributed to net residential customer growth in Oklahoma and Texas; |

• | A $2.8 million decrease due to lower sales volumes, net of weather normalization, primarily from warmer weather in the first quarter 2016 compared with the first quarter 2015; and |
• | A $1.9 million decrease due primarily to lower transportation volumes from weather-sensitive customers in Kansas and Oklahoma. |
First-quarter 2016 operating costs were $121.8 million, compared with $122.4 million in the first quarter 2015, which primarily reflects:
• | A $2.5 million decrease in outside service expenses, fleet and other costs; |
• | A $2.4 million decrease from the deferral of separation costs incurred in 2014 that was approved in Oklahoma as a regulatory asset in the recent rate proceeding; |
• | A $1.3 million decrease in information technology expenses; |
• | A $3.6 million increase in employee-related expenses; and |
• | A $2.8 million increase in legal expenses. |
First-quarter 2016 depreciation and amortization expense was $34.7 million, compared with $31.6 million in the first quarter 2015, due primarily to an increase in depreciation expense from capital investments placed in service.
Capital expenditures were $75.3 million for the first quarter 2016, compared with $54.9 million in the first quarter 2015.
The company ended the first quarter with $52.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, no short-term borrowings and $1.0 million in letters of credit, leaving $699.0 million of credit available under its $700 million credit facility. The total debt-to-capitalization ratio at March 31, 2016, was 39 percent.

REGULATORY ACTIVITY
Oklahoma
In January 2016, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission approved a joint stipulation and settlement agreement for an increase in Oklahoma Natural Gas’ base rates of $29,995,000. The agreement includes the continuation, with certain modifications, of the Performance Based Rate Change tariff, which was established in 2009.
Kansas
On May 2, 2016, Kansas Gas Service filed a request with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) for an increase in base rates, reflecting system investments and operating costs necessary to maintain the safety and reliability of its natural gas distribution system. Kansas Gas Service’s request, if approved, represents a net base rate increase of $28 million. Kansas Gas Service is already recovering $7.4 million from customers through the Gas System Reliability Surcharge (GSRS), resulting in a total base rate increase of $35.4 million. This request would increase the average residential customer’s natural gas bill by $4.34 per month.
The company’s filing also includes a proposed Cost of Service Adjustment (COSA) mechanism that would reset rates annually, based on a review of the previous year’s financial results. The proposed rate mechanism is intended to reduce the need to file full rate cases, thereby saving costs associated with these traditional rate cases.
In accordance with Kansas law, the KCC has 240 days to consider Kansas Gas Service’s filing.
Texas
In December 2015, Texas Gas Service filed a rate case for its Galveston and South Jefferson County service areas requesting an increase in its revenues of $3.1 million. The filing included a request to consolidate these two service areas into a new Gulf Coast service area. Texas Gas Service filed this rate case directly with the incorporated cities and the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC) for the unincorporated areas. Texas Gas Service has reached a unanimous settlement agreement with representatives of the incorporated cities and the staff of the RRC on behalf of the unincorporated areas for an increase in revenues of $2.3 million. The

agreement is subject to approval by the cities and the RRC. The new rates will become effective upon approval by the cities and the RRC, which is expected to occur in May 2016.
On March 30, 2016, Texas Gas Service filed a rate case requesting an increase in revenues of $12.8 million for its El Paso, Dell City and Permian service areas. The filing included a request to consolidate these three service areas into a new West Texas service area. Texas Gas Service filed this rate case directly with the incorporated cities of the El Paso and Dell City service areas and the RRC for the unincorporated areas. If approved, new rates are expected to be effective in October 2016.
Texas Gas Service expects to file a rate case in its Central Texas jurisdiction, which includes the City of Austin, on or before June 30, 2016. The filing is expected to include a proposal to consolidate the South Texas service area with the Central Texas service area.
2016 FINANCIAL GUIDANCE REAFFIRMED
ONE Gas reaffirmed its 2016 financial guidance, with net income expected to be in the range of $127 million to $137 million, or approximately $2.40 to $2.60 per diluted share.
Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $305 million in 2016. More than 70 percent of these expenditures are targeted for system integrity and replacement projects.
Rate base in 2016 is expected to average $2.9 billion with 43 percent in Oklahoma, 31 percent in Kansas and 26 percent in Texas.
