Material Changes vs. Prior Period

- Profitability: Net income attributable to common shareholders rose 45% to $1.85 billion, aided by a reduction in noncontrolling interest allocations following the Badlands Transaction.
- Acquisitions:
- Completed the Badlands Transaction in March 2025, acquiring Blackstone's 45% interest in Targa Badlands LLC for $1.8 billion, resulting in 100% ownership.
- Completed the Dovetail Acquisition in December 2025 for ~$122.8 million.
- Completed the Nile Acquisition in December 2025 for ~$90.3 million.
- Completed the Stakeholder Acquisition on January 6, 2026 (post-period), for $1.25 billion.
- Capital Allocation: Increased quarterly dividend to $1.00 per share (effective Q1 2025). Repurchased 3.77 million shares in 2025 for $641.8 million. Exhausted the 2023 repurchase program and initiated a new $1.0 billion program in August 2025.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Outlook: Management expects results to be affected by commodity prices, volume throughput, and contract mix. The company maintains a significant level of fee-based margin to mitigate commodity price volatility.
- Growth Projects: Significant capital is being deployed to expand processing capacity in the Permian (e.g., Bull Moose, Pembrook II, Falcon II) and fractionation capacity in Mont Belvieu (Trains 11, 12, 13). New pipeline projects include the 500-mile Speedway NGL Pipeline and the Blackcomb/Traverse joint ventures.
- Risks:
- Commodity Prices: Exposure to natural gas, NGL, and crude oil price volatility, particularly in percent-of-proceeds contracts.
- Regulatory: Ongoing FERC proceedings regarding the jurisdictional status of Badlands assets; potential changes in methane emission regulations (though the methane fee was delayed to 2034 by the OBBBA).
- Legal/Environmental: Pending resolution of a New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) administrative order regarding the Red Hills facility (proposed penalty ~$47.8M); ongoing appeal of a $6.9M judgment related to the 2021 winter storm.
- Operational: Risks related to pipeline integrity, cybersecurity, and third-party counterparty performance.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final purchase price and accounting treatment of the Stakeholder Acquisition (closed Jan 2026) in the next quarterly filing.
- Monitor the resolution of the NMED Red Hills facility administrative order and the Fifth Circuit appeal regarding the 2021 winter storm judgment.
- Track the FERC tariff proceedings for Targa Badlands assets to assess potential rate impacts.
- Review the utilization rates of new processing plants (Bull Moose, Pembrook II) and fractionation trains to ensure they meet volume expectations.
- Confirm the company's ability to maintain its investment-grade credit rating given the substantial debt issuance and capital expenditure program.
