Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue: Total revenues decreased 3% year-over-year (YoY) to $8.53 billion, driven by lower commodity sales (down 8%) due to lower natural gas and NGL prices and unfavorable hedge impacts. However, fees from midstream services increased 23% YoY due to higher volumes and new capacity.
- Profitability: Net income attributable to common shareholders increased 50% YoY to $1.24 billion. Operating income rose 32% to $2.08 billion, supported by higher fee-based margins and volume growth in the Permian Basin.
- Acquisitions: The company completed the Stakeholder Acquisition in January 2026 for $1.25 billion, adding Permian Basin midstream assets. This contributed to increased depreciation and amortization expenses (up 19% YoY).
- Capital Expenditures: Cash outlays for capital projects increased to $1.91 billion (vs. $1.70 billion in 2025), primarily due to growth projects and the Stakeholder Acquisition.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Capital Allocation: The company increased its quarterly dividend to $1.25 per share (annualized $5.00). It maintains two share repurchase programs with $1.24 billion remaining authorization.
- Expansion Projects: Significant growth projects are underway, including the Falcon II, East Pembrook, and East Driver processing plants (operational in 2026), and the Delaware Express NGL pipeline. Future projects include the Speedway NGL Pipeline and Bull Run Extension.
- Debt Management: In March 2026, the company issued $1.5 billion in senior unsecured notes. In January 2026, it redeemed $679.3 million of Partnership notes, incurring a $10.1 million extinguishment loss.
- Risks: Key risks include commodity price volatility, counterparty credit risk, and regulatory compliance. The company faces ongoing legal proceedings regarding environmental violations (e.g., New Mexico NOV, Texas TCEQ) and a lawsuit related to the 2021 winter storm.
- Derivatives: The company holds a net liability position of $125.6 million in derivative contracts as of June 30, 2026, primarily due to unfavorable movements in natural gas forward basis prices.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the Stakeholder Acquisition on future cash flows and integration costs.
- Monitor the resolution of the New Mexico NOV and associated capital improvement costs ($140 million).
- Assess the sustainability of fee-based revenue growth amidst fluctuating commodity prices.
- Review the derivative hedge portfolio exposure, specifically the net liability position and sensitivity to natural gas basis changes.
- Confirm the timeline and capital requirements for major expansion projects (e.g., Speedway Pipeline, Yeti plants).
