    Williams (NYSE:WMB) today announced its unaudited financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

    Business continues to outperform; solid execution on accretive acquisitions and organic growth driving immediate returns

    • GAAP net income of $631 million, or $0.52 per diluted share (EPS)
    • Adjusted net income of $719 million, or $0.59 per diluted share (Adj. EPS) – up 5% vs. 1Q 2023
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $1.934 billion – up $139 million or 8% vs. 1Q 2023
    • Cash flow from operations (CFFO) of $1.234 billion
    • Available funds from operations (AFFO) of $1.507 billion – up $62 million or 4% vs. 1Q 2023
    • Dividend coverage ratio of 2.60x (AFFO basis)
    • Record contracted transmission capacity of 33.9 Bcf/d – up 4.3% from 1Q 2023
    • Strong 1Q performance driving expectations to top half of 2024 financial guidance range

    Recent acquisitions and large roster of projects in execution building long-term value

    • Closed acquisition of 6 storage facilities with total capacity of 115 Bcf across Louisiana and Mississippi, strategically located to serve growing LNG exports and power generation demand
    • Placed Transco's Carolina Market Link into service 1Q 2024
    • Received FERC notice to proceed on Transco's Commonwealth Energy Connector
    • Commenced construction on Transco's Southside Reliability Enhancement and Southeast Energy Connector
    • First phase of Transco's Regional Energy Access continued to deliver earnings with second phase on track to come online in 4Q 2024
    • Received FERC certificate for Transco's Alabama Georgia Connector and Texas to Louisiana Energy Pathway
    • Pre-filed FERC application for Transco's ~1.6 Bcf/d Southeast Supply Enhancement
    • Continued execution of additional transmission, gathering & processing and Deepwater Gulf of Mexico projects

    CEO Perspective

    Alan Armstrong, president and chief executive officer, made the following comments:

    "Our 8 percent higher Adjusted EBITDA was driven by the continued outperformance of our transmission, storage and gathering businesses, which delivered 13 percent higher Adjusted EBITDA compared to the same period last year. Contracted transmission capacity achieved another record in the first quarter and our Transco projects recently placed into service contributed additional fee-based revenues, as did our immediately accretive acquisitions, including the Gulf Coast storage portfolio that we closed in the quarter.

    "Crisp execution by our teams in both integrating newly acquired assets and building large-scale organic projects has us on track to be in the top half of our original 2024 guidance range. As our natural gas-focused strategy continues to gain momentum, we are successfully executing a full slate of high return growth projects, with new regulatory milestones reached on seven of our FERC-regulated expansion projects so far this year and progressing on a healthy backlog of expansion opportunities to serve accelerating demand for natural gas.

    Armstrong added, "Our track record of generating predictable, growing earnings in all market cycles underscores the value of Williams as a resilient, long-term investment with a strong dividend. We've built a business positioned for the future, and we're leveraging our existing infrastructure and project development capabilities to serve rising domestic and global security needs, while lowering emissions and creating sustainable value for our shareholders."

    (2) Does not represent leverage ratios measured for WMB credit agreement compliance or leverage ratios as calculated by the major credit ratings agencies. Debt is net of cash on hand, and Adjusted EBITDA reflects the sum of the last four quarters.

    (3) Capital Investments include increases to property, plant, and equipment (growth & maintenance capital), purchases of and contributions to equity-method investments and purchases of other long-term investments.

    (4) First-quarter 2024 capital excludes $1.851 billion for the acquisition of the Gulf Coast Storage assets, which closed in January 2024. First-quarter 2023 capital excludes $1.056 billion for the acquisition of MountainWest, which closed in February 2023.

    GAAP Measures

    First-quarter 2024 net income decreased by $295 million compared to the prior year reflecting an unfavorable change of $419 million in net unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, higher net interest expense from recent debt issuances and retirements, as well as higher operating costs, depreciation and interest expense resulting from recent acquisitions. These unfavorable changes were partially offset by a $211 million increase in service revenues driven by acquisitions and expansion projects. The tax provision decreased primarily due to lower pretax income.

    First-quarter 2024 cash flow from operations decreased compared to the prior year primarily due to unfavorable net changes in both working capital and derivative collateral requirements.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    First-quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA increased by $139 million over the prior year, driven by the previously described favorable net contributions from acquisitions and expansion projects.

    First-quarter 2024 Adjusted Net Income improved by $35 million over the prior year, driven by the previously described impacts to net income, adjusted primarily to remove the effects of net unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives and the related income tax effects.

    First-quarter Available Funds From Operations (AFFO) increased by $62 million compared to the prior year primarily due to the change in operating results exclusive of non-cash items.

    Note: Williams uses Modified EBITDA for its segment reporting. Definitions of Modified EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and schedules reconciling to net income are included in this news release.

    Transmission & Gulf of Mexico

    First-quarter 2024 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA improved compared to the prior year driven by favorable net contributions from the Gulf Coast Storage and MountainWest acquisitions and the Regional Energy Access expansion project. Modified EBITDA for both periods was impacted by one-time acquisition costs, which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

    Northeast G&P

    First-quarter 2024 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA increased over the prior year driven by higher rates and volumes at Susquehanna Supply Hub, higher rates at Cardinal, and higher contribution from our Aux Sable investment, partially offset by lower volumes at Ohio Valley Midstream.

    West

    First-quarter 2024 Modified and Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the prior year benefiting from the DJ Basin Acquisitions and improved commodity margins reflecting favorable changes in shrink prices related to the absence of a short-term gas price spike at Opal in 2023, partially offset by lower realized gains on natural gas hedges. Modified EBITDA was also impacted by the absence of a 2023 favorable contract settlement, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

    Gas & NGL Marketing Services

    First-quarter 2024 Modified EBITDA decreased from the prior year primarily reflecting lower commodity marketing margins and a $427 million net unfavorable change in unrealized gains/losses on commodity derivatives, which is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

    2024 Financial Guidance

    After our strong first-quarter performance, Williams expects Adjusted EBITDA at the top half of its 2024 guidance range of $6.8 billion and $7.1 billion. The company continues to expect 2024 growth capex between $1.45 billion and $1.75 billion and maintenance capex between $1.1 billion and $1.3 billion, which includes capital of $350 million for emissions reduction and modernization initiatives. For 2025, the company continues to expect Adjusted EBITDA between $7.2 billion and $7.6 billion with growth capex between $1.65 billion and $1.95 billion and maintenance capex between $750 million and $850 million, which includes capital of $100 million based on midpoint for emissions reduction and modernization initiatives. Williams continues to anticipate a leverage ratio midpoint for 2024 of 3.85x and has increased the dividend by 6.1% on an annualized basis to $1.90 in 2024 from $1.79 in 2023.

    * Certain amounts for the fourth quarter of 2023 were revised to agree to final reported amounts.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    This news release and accompanying materials may include certain financial measures – adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income ("earnings"), adjusted earnings per share, available funds from operations and dividend coverage ratio – that are non-GAAP financial measures as defined under the rules of the SEC.

    Our segment performance measure, modified EBITDA, is defined as net income (loss) before income (loss) from discontinued operations, income tax expense, interest expense, equity earnings from equity-method investments, other net investing income, impairments of equity investments and goodwill, depreciation and amortization expense, and accretion expense associated with asset retirement obligations for nonregulated operations. We also add our proportional ownership share (based on ownership interest) of modified EBITDA of equity-method investments.

    Adjusted EBITDA further excludes items of income or loss that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations. Such items are excluded from net income to determine adjusted income and adjusted earnings per share. Management believes this measure provides investors meaningful insight into results from ongoing operations.

    Available funds from operations (AFFO) is defined as net income (loss) excluding the effect of certain noncash items, reduced by distributions from equity-method investees, net distributions to noncontrolling interests, and preferred dividends. AFFO may also be adjusted to exclude certain items that we characterize as unrepresentative of our ongoing operations.

    This news release is accompanied by a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their nearest GAAP financial measures. Management uses these financial measures because they are accepted financial indicators used by investors to compare company performance. In addition, management believes that these measures provide investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of assets and the cash that the business is generating.

    Neither adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income, nor available funds from operations are intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor are they presented as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

    Forward-Looking Statements

    The reports, filings, and other public announcements of The Williams Companies, Inc. (Williams) may contain or incorporate by reference statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. Such statements are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act). These forward-looking statements relate to anticipated financial performance, management's plans and objectives for future operations, business prospects, outcomes of regulatory proceedings, market conditions, and other matters. We make these forward-looking statements in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

    All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this report that address activities, events, or developments that we expect, believe, or anticipate will exist or may occur in the future, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by various forms of words such as "anticipates," "believes," "seeks," "could," "may," "should," "continues," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "might," "goals," "objectives," "targets," "planned," "potential," "projects," "scheduled," "will," "assumes," "guidance," "outlook," "in-service date," or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management and include, among others, statements regarding:

    • Levels of dividends to Williams stockholders;
    • Future credit ratings of Williams and its affiliates;
    • Amounts and nature of future capital expenditures;
    • Expansion and growth of our business and operations;
    • Expected in-service dates for capital projects;
    • Financial condition and liquidity;
    • Business strategy;
    • Cash flow from operations or results of operations;
    • Seasonality of certain business components;
    • Natural gas, natural gas liquids, and crude oil prices, supply, and demand;
    • Demand for our services.

    Forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions, uncertainties, and risks that could cause future events or results to be materially different from those stated or implied in this report. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability to control or predict. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from results contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

    • Availability of supplies, market demand, and volatility of prices;
    • Development and rate of adoption of alternative energy sources;
    • The impact of existing and future laws and regulations, the regulatory environment, environmental matters, and litigation, as well as our ability and the ability of other energy companies with whom we conduct or seek to conduct business, to obtain necessary permits and approvals, and our ability to achieve favorable rate proceeding outcomes;
    • Our exposure to the credit risk of our customers and counterparties;
    • Our ability to acquire new businesses and assets and successfully integrate those operations and assets into existing businesses as well as successfully expand our facilities, and consummate asset sales on acceptable terms;
    • Whether we are able to successfully identify, evaluate, and timely execute our capital projects and investment opportunities;
    • The strength and financial resources of our competitors and the effects of competition;
    • The amount of cash distributions from and capital requirements of our investments and joint ventures in which we participate;
    • Whether we will be able to effectively execute our financing plan;
    • Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from stakeholders with respect to our environmental, social, and governance practices;
    • The physical and financial risks associated with climate change;
    • The impacts of operational and developmental hazards and unforeseen interruptions;
    • The risks resulting from outbreaks or other public health crises;
    • Risks associated with weather and natural phenomena, including climate conditions and physical damage to our facilities;
    • Acts of terrorism, cybersecurity incidents, and related disruptions;
    • Our costs and funding obligations for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans;
    • Changes in maintenance and construction costs, as well as our ability to obtain sufficient construction-related inputs, including skilled labor;
    • Inflation, interest rates, and general economic conditions (including future disruptions and volatility in the global credit markets and the impact of these events on customers and suppliers);
    • Risks related to financing, including restrictions stemming from debt agreements, future changes in credit ratings as determined by nationally recognized credit rating agencies, and the availability and cost of capital;
    • The ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and other oil exporting nations to agree to and maintain oil price and production controls and the impact on domestic production;
    • Changes in the current geopolitical situation, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and conflicts in the Middle East, including between Israel and Hamas and conflicts involving Iran and its proxy forces;
    • Changes in U.S. governmental administration and policies;
    • Whether we are able to pay current and expected levels of dividends;
    • Additional risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

    Given the uncertainties and risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, we caution investors not to unduly rely on our forward-looking statements. We disclaim any obligations to, and do not intend to, update the above list or announce publicly the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.

    In addition to causing our actual results to differ, the factors listed above and referred to below may cause our intentions to change from those statements of intention set forth in this report. Such changes in our intentions may also cause our results to differ. We may change our intentions, at any time and without notice, based upon changes in such factors, our assumptions, or otherwise.

    Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, we caution that there are important factors, in addition to those listed above, that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. For a detailed discussion of those factors, see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2024, and as may be supplemented by disclosures in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
