“ONEOK continues to benefit from ONEOK Partners’ well-positioned assets and resulting volume growth from recently completed capital-growth projects,” said Terry K. Spencer, president and chief executive officer of ONEOK.
“The partnership’s competitive asset position in active shale plays, such as the STACK and SCOOP plays in Oklahoma, is expected to help drive NGL and natural gas volume growth into 2017 as producer drilling increases in these plays through the remainder of 2016,” said Spencer. “Through October, we’ve seen the completion of large multi-well pads in the Mid-Continent, specifically in the STACK play, supporting our expectation for a year-end volume ramp up and setting the stage for additional volume growth in 2017. We also continue to expect a favorable impact from ethane recovery across our system as new petrochemical facilities come online during 2017.
“The partnership recently completed several capital-growth projects including the Bear Creek natural gas processing plant in the Williston Basin and related NGL gathering infrastructure, and the second phase of the Roadrunner Gas Transmission pipeline and complementary ONEOK WesTex expansion project in the natural gas pipelines segment,” Spencer added. “All of these projects are expected to contribute primarily fee-based earnings and stable growth to the partnership as we exit 2016.
“ONEOK continues to maintain a healthy balance sheet and dividend coverage ratio and expects to finish 2016 in line with financial guidance,” Spencer added.

THIRD-QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE 2016 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Recently completed capital-growth projects in all three ONEOK Partners (NYSE: OKS) business segments continue to result in higher volumes and increased fee-based earnings compared with 2015.

ONEOK’s third-quarter 2016 operating income and adjusted EBITDA increased 16 and 15 percent, respectively, compared with the third quarter 2015. Through the first nine months of 2016, operating income increased 27 percent and adjusted EBITDA increased 22 percent, compared with the same periods in 2015.

Financial results benefited from higher natural gas volumes gathered and processed, higher NGL volumes fractionated and sustained higher average fee rates in the natural gas gathering and processing segment.

Higher third-quarter 2016 results primarily benefited from:

Higher NGL fee-based exchange-services volumes primarily from recently connected natural gas processing plants in the Williston Basin;
Natural gas volume growth in the Williston Basin;
Higher average fee rates resulting from contract restructuring in the natural gas gathering and processing segment; and
Higher transportation revenues in the natural gas pipelines segment.

Operating costs increased in the three- and nine-month 2016 periods, compared with the same periods in 2015, due primarily to higher costs associated with the growth of ONEOK Partners’ operations, higher employee-related costs associated with incentive and medical benefit plans and higher costs associated with the impact of the noncash mark-to-market of a share-based deferred compensation plan.

Capital expenditures decreased in the three- and nine-month 2016 periods, compared with the same periods in 2015, due to projects placed in service in 2015 and proactive spending reductions in 2016 to align with customer needs.

BUSINESS-SEGMENT RESULTS:

Key financial and operating statistics are listed on page 19 in the tables.

Natural Gas Liquids Segment

Through the first nine months of 2016, the natural gas liquids segment benefited from volume growth of NGLs gathered and fractionated, primarily due to recent Williston Basin and Mid-Continent natural gas processing plant connections. In addition to two new third-party plant connections in the third quarter, the partnership also completed its NGL gathering infrastructure and connection to its Bear Creek natural gas processing plant in the Williston Basin.

NGLs fractionated increased 9 percent, and NGLs transported on gathering lines increased 3 percent in the first nine months of 2016, compared with the same period in 2015. NGLs gathered in the third quarter 2016 decreased slightly compared with the third quarter 2015 due to decreased volumes on the West Texas LPG pipeline system, decreased Mid-Continent volumes gathered from the Barnett Shale and lower short-term contracted volumes. NGLs fractionated in the third quarter 2016 increased 3 percent compared with the same period last year.

The increase in third-quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA, compared with the third quarter 2015, primarily reflects:

A $22.9 million increase in exchange, transportation and storage services, which includes:
A $10.4 million increase due to increased exchange service volumes from recently connected natural gas processing plants primarily in the Williston Basin, offset partially by decreased Mid-Continent volumes gathered from the Barnett Shale and lower short-term contracted volumes;
A $10.3 million increase from increased ethane recovery, which increased NGL exchange service volumes gathered and fractionated; and
A $4.2 million increase related to higher storage activities; offset partially by
A $1.8 million decrease in transportation revenues due primarily to lower volumes on the West Texas LPG pipeline system;

A $3.2 million increase from higher isomerization volumes; and
A $3.1 million increase in equity in net earnings from investments due primarily to higher volumes delivered to the Overland Pass Pipeline from the Bakken NGL Pipeline; offset partially by
A $5.3 million increase in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs associated with incentive and medical benefit plans; and
A $4.8 million decrease in optimization and marketing activities due primarily to narrower marketing product price differentials, offset partially by higher optimization volumes.

The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month 2016 period, compared with the same period last year, primarily reflects:

A $114.9 million increase in exchange, transportation and storage services, which includes:
A $53.8 million increase due to increased exchange service volumes from recently connected natural gas processing plants primarily in the Williston Basin, offset partially by decreased Mid-Continent volumes gathered from the Barnett Shale and lower short-term contracted volumes;
A $49.0 million increase from increased ethane recovery, which increased NGL exchange service volumes gathered and fractionated; and
A $7.2 million increase related to higher storage activities;

A $13.6 million increase in equity in net earnings from investments due primarily to higher volumes delivered to the Overland Pass Pipeline from the Bakken NGL Pipeline; and
A $4.0 million increase from higher isomerization volumes; offset partially by
A $2.6 million increase in operating costs due primarily to higher employee-related costs associated with incentive and medical benefit plans, offset partially by lower outside services costs due to lower rates charged by service providers and the timing of property taxes.

Capital expenditures decreased for the three- and nine-month 2016 periods, compared with the same periods in 2015, due primarily to proactive spending reductions to align with customer needs.

Natural Gas Gathering and Processing Segment

The natural gas gathering and processing segment’s adjusted EBITDA through the first nine months of 2016 increased 45 percent, compared with the same period in 2015, driven by continued volume growth in the Williston Basin from recently completed capital-growth projects including the 80 MMcf/d Bear Creek natural gas processing plant completed in August and the

ramp up of the 200 MMcf/d Lonesome Creek natural gas processing plant completed in November 2015.

Third-quarter and year-to-date 2016 natural gas volumes processed increased 13 percent and 15 percent, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2015. Natural gas volumes gathered increased 4 percent in the third quarter and 9 percent through the first nine months of 2016 compared with the same periods in 2015.

The segment continues to realize positive impacts from contract restructuring efforts, maintaining an average fee rate of 76 cents in the third quarter 2016, unchanged from the second quarter 2016 and up 33 cents compared with the third quarter 2015.

Third-quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA increased, compared with the third quarter 2015, which primarily reflects:

A $28.8 million increase due primarily to natural gas volume growth in the Williston Basin, offset partially by volume declines in the Mid-Continent; and
A $27.9 million increase due primarily to restructured contracts resulting in higher average fee rates, offset partially by a lower percentage of proceeds (POP) retained from the sale of commodities under POP with fee contracts; offset partially by
A $21.7 million decrease due primarily to lower net realized NGL, natural gas and condensate prices; and
An $8.2 million increase in operating costs due primarily to the growth of the partnership’s operations resulting from completed capital-growth projects and higher employee-related costs associated with incentive and medical benefit plans.

The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month 2016 period, compared with the same period last year, primarily reflects:

A $106.4 million increase due primarily to restructured contracts resulting in higher average fee rates, offset partially by a lower percentage of proceeds retained from the sale of commodities under POP with fee contracts; and

An $80.2 million decrease due primarily to lower net realized NGL and natural gas prices;
A $14.5 million increase in operating costs due primarily to the growth of the partnership’s operations resulting from completed capital-growth projects and higher employee-related costs associated with incentive and medical benefit plans;
A $5.5 million decrease in equity in net earnings from investments primarily in the coal-bed methane area of the Powder River Basin; and
A $4.0 million decrease due primarily to increased ethane recovery to maintain downstream NGL product specifications.

Capital expenditures decreased for the three- and nine-month 2016 periods, compared with the same periods in 2015, due to projects placed in service in 2015 and proactive spending reductions to align with customer needs in 2016.

The natural gas gathering and processing segment has restructured a portion of its percent-of-proceeds with fee contracts to include significantly higher fees, which reduced its 2016 equity volumes and the related commodity price exposure compared with 2015. The partnership executes hedges to reduce its commodity price risk. NGLs hedged reflect propane, normal butane, isobutane and natural gasoline only.

All of the natural gas gathering and processing segment’s commodity price sensitivities are estimated as a hypothetical change in the price of NGLs, natural gas and crude oil as of Sept. 30, 2016, including the effects of hedging and assuming normal operating conditions. Condensate sales are based on the price of crude oil.

The natural gas gathering and processing segment estimates the following sensitivities:

A 1-cent-per-gallon change in the composite price of NGLs would change adjusted EBITDA for the three months ending Dec. 31, 2016, and for the full-year 2017, by approximately $0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively;
A 10-cent-per-MMBtu change in the price of residue natural gas would change adjusted EBITDA for the three months ending Dec. 31, 2016, for the full-year 2017 and for the full-year 2018, by approximately $0.1 million, $0.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively; and
A $1.00-per-barrel change in the price of crude oil would change adjusted EBITDA for the three months ending Dec. 31, 2016, and for the full-year 2017, by approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

These estimates do not include any effects on demand for ONEOK Partners’ services or natural gas processing plant operations that might be caused by, or arise in conjunction with, price changes. For example, a change in the gross processing spread may cause a change in the amount of ethane extracted from the natural gas stream affecting natural gas gathering and processing earnings for certain contracts.

Natural Gas Pipelines Segment

The natural gas pipelines segment’s third-quarter 2016 adjusted EBITDA increased 23 percent compared with the third quarter 2015 primarily driven by higher firm demand charge volumes contracted from customers serving end-user markets.
 
In October, the natural gas pipelines segment completed the 260 MMcf/d WesTex Transmission Pipeline expansion and the second phase of its joint venture Roadrunner Gas Transmission Pipeline, which adds an additional 400 MMcf/d of capacity to the pipeline. Both projects were completed ahead of original schedules and below cost estimates, and are fully subscribed under long-term, firm fee-based (take-or-pay) commitments.

A $4.0 million increase from higher natural gas storage services due primarily to the sale of excess natural gas in storage in 2016.

The increase in adjusted EBITDA for the nine-month 2016 period, compared with the same period last year, primarily reflects:

A $17.1 million increase from higher transportation services due primarily to increased firm demand charge volumes contracted; and
A $10.0 million increase due to higher natural gas storage services as a result of increased rates and the sale of excess natural gas in storage in 2016; offset partially by
A $6.0 million increase in operating costs due primarily to increased employee-related costs associated with incentive and medical benefit plans.

Capital expenditures increased in the three- and nine-month 2016 periods, compared with the same periods in 2015, due primarily to the WesTex Transmission Pipeline expansion and other expansion projects.

NON-GAAP (GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES) FINANCIAL MEASURE:

ONEOK has disclosed in this news release adjusted EBITDA, cash flow available for dividends, free cash flow and dividend coverage ratio, and ONEOK Partners distributable cash flow and distribution 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, net of capitalized interest, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, income taxes and allowance for equity funds used during construction and certain other noncash items;
Cash flow available for dividends is defined as cash distributions declared from ONEOK’s ownership in ONEOK Partners adjusted for ONEOK’s standalone interest expense, corporate expenses, excluding certain noncash items, payments related to released contracts from ONEOK’s former energy services business, capital expenditures and equity compensation reimbursed by ONEOK Partners;
Free cash flow is defined as cash flow available for dividends, computed as described above, less ONEOK’s dividends declared;
Dividend coverage ratio is defined as cash flow available for dividends divided by the dividends declared for the period;
Distributable cash flow is defined as ONEOK Partners adjusted EBITDA, computed as described above, less interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures and equity earnings from investments, adjusted for cash distributions received and certain other items; and
Distribution coverage ratio is defined as ONEOK Partners distributable cash flow to limited partners per limited partner unit divided by the distribution declared per limited partner unit for the period.

These non-GAAP financial measures described above are useful to investors because they are used by many companies in the industry as a measurement 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. ONEOK cash flow available for dividends, free cash flow and dividend coverage ratio, and ONEOK Partners distributable cash flow and distribution 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 adjusted EBITDA, cash flow available for dividends and free cash flow to net income are included in the tables.

ONEOK, Inc. (pronounced ONE-OAK) (NYSE: OKE) is the general partner and as of Sept. 30, 2016, owns 41.2 percent of ONEOK Partners, L.P. (NYSE: OKS), one of the largest publicly traded master limited partnerships, which owns one of the

One should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.  Known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements.  Those factors may affect our operations, markets, products, services and prices.  In addition to any assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with the forward-looking statements, factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statement include, among others, the following:
the effects of weather and other natural phenomena, including climate change, on our operations, demand for our services and energy prices;
competition from other United States and foreign energy suppliers and transporters, as well as alternative forms of energy, including, but not limited to, solar power, wind power, geothermal energy and biofuels such as ethanol and biodiesel;
the capital intensive nature of our businesses;
the profitability of assets or businesses acquired or constructed by us;
our ability to make cost-saving changes in operations;
risks of marketing, trading and hedging activities, including the risks of changes in energy prices or the financial condition of our counterparties;
the uncertainty of estimates, including accruals and costs of environmental remediation;
the timing and extent of changes in energy commodity prices;
the effects of changes in governmental policies and regulatory actions, including changes with respect to income and other taxes, pipeline safety, environmental compliance, climate change initiatives and authorized rates of recovery of natural gas and natural gas transportation costs;
the impact on drilling and production by factors beyond our control, including the demand for natural gas and crude oil; producers’ desire and ability to obtain necessary permits; reserve performance; and capacity constraints on the pipelines that transport crude oil, natural gas and NGLs from producing areas and our facilities;
difficulties or delays experienced by trucks, railroads or pipelines in delivering products to or from our terminals or pipelines;
changes in demand for the use of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil because of market conditions caused by concerns about climate change;
conflicts of interest between us, ONEOK Partners, and related parties of ONEOK Partners;
the impact of unforeseen changes in interest rates, equity markets, inflation rates, economic recession and other external factors over which we have no control, including the effect on pension and postretirement expense and funding resulting from changes in equity and bond market returns;

our indebtedness could make us vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions, limit our ability to borrow additional funds and/or place us at competitive disadvantages compared with our competitors that have less debt, or have other adverse consequences;
actions by rating agencies concerning the credit ratings of ONEOK and ONEOK Partners;
the results of administrative proceedings and litigation, regulatory actions, rule changes and receipt of expected clearances involving any local, state or federal regulatory body, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the National Transportation Safety Board, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC);
our ability to access capital at competitive rates or on terms acceptable to us;
risks associated with adequate supply to our gathering, processing, fractionation and pipeline facilities, including production declines that outpace new drilling or extended periods of ethane rejection;
the risk that material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting could emerge or that minor problems could become significant;
the impact and outcome of pending and future litigation;
the ability to market pipeline capacity on favorable terms, including the effects of:
future demand for and prices of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil;
competitive conditions in the overall energy market;
availability of supplies of Canadian and United States natural gas and crude oil; and
availability of additional storage capacity;
performance of contractual obligations by our customers, service providers, contractors and shippers;
the timely receipt of approval by applicable governmental entities for construction and operation of our pipeline and other projects and required regulatory clearances;

the mechanical integrity of facilities operated;
demand for our services in the proximity of our facilities;
our ability to control operating costs;
acts of nature, sabotage, terrorism or other similar acts that cause damage to our facilities or our suppliers’ or shippers’ facilities;

the risk of a prolonged slowdown in growth or decline in the United States or international economies, including liquidity risks in United States or foreign credit markets;
the impact of recently issued and future accounting updates and other changes in accounting policies;
the possibility of future terrorist attacks or the possibility or occurrence of an outbreak of, or changes in, hostilities or changes in the political conditions in the Middle East and elsewhere;
the risk of increased costs for insurance premiums, security or other items as a consequence of terrorist attacks;
risks associated with pending or possible acquisitions and dispositions, including our ability to finance or integrate any such acquisitions and any regulatory delay or conditions imposed by regulatory bodies in connection with any such acquisitions and dispositions;
the impact of uncontracted capacity in our assets being greater or less than expected;
the ability to recover operating costs and amounts equivalent to income taxes, costs of property, plant and equipment and regulatory assets in our state and FERC-regulated rates;
the composition and quality of the natural gas and NGLs we gather and process in our plants and transport on our pipelines;
the efficiency of our plants in processing natural gas and extracting and fractionating NGLs;
the impact of potential impairment charges;
the risk inherent in the use of information systems in our respective businesses, implementation of new software and hardware, and the impact on the timeliness of information for financial reporting;
our ability to control construction costs and completion schedules of our pipelines and other projects; and
the risk factors listed in the reports we have filed and may file with the SEC, which are incorporated by reference.

These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other factors could also have material adverse effects on our future results. These and other risks are described in greater detail in Part 1, Item 1A, Risk Factors, in our most recent Annual
